Chapter 9 No More Indulging Him
Back then, Lin Xuesha and Jiang Ranxing were classmates in the School of Design.
Both of them are very good-looking and have always been neck and neck in the design department's beauty rankings.
At that time, Jiang Ranxing didn't care about any of these things; in fact, she didn't care about anything at the time.
Because she only cares about Fu Shenyuan.
But Fu Shenyuan only cared about Lin Xuesha.
Fu Shenyuan was already eye-catching, and as the heir to a wealthy family, he had countless suitors, but he only had eyes for Lin Xuesha.
Lin Xuesha's existence is the envy of countless girls.
She is pursued by a beautiful, intelligent, and handsome rich second-generation.
As a result, Lin Xuesha's popularity soared because of Fu Shenyuan, and she became a prominent figure at the school.
However, even the most perfect person has some flaws. For example, although Lin Xuesha's designs are also very good, they are still not as good as Jiang Ranxing's, who is more talented.
Jiang Ranxing's casually drawn design drafts are far superior to those of others, and although Lin Xuesha works hard, she can't compare to the talented ones.
Jiang Ranxing's talent gradually amplified, and his works became increasingly outstanding.
Unfortunately, Jiang Ranxing didn't cherish her career much and was only focused on pursuing Fu Shenyuan.
For Fu Shenyuan's sake, she devised a plan that she could let go of things easily.
It wasn't until one day, when Lin Xuesha's assignment was highly praised by the professors, that Jiang Ranxing noticed it.
Lin Xuesha's design was actually quite similar to the one she had drawn in her spare time at the library.
At the time, Jiang Ranxing didn't really care about plagiarism, but now she thinks there was something fishy going on. The drawing she left on the library table might have been taken by Lin Xuesha.
Some of the unique designs can only be drawn by Jiang Ranxing; that's her personal creative habit.
It's problematic that it appears in Lin Xuesha's works.
Jiang Ranxing looked at the green trees and starry sky outside the studio window and secretly made up his mind.
With Grandpa Fu's birthday approaching, Jiang Ranxing, though not in the mood, still bought a gift according to custom.
Jiang Ranxing arrived at Qingshan Villa with gifts and waited for Fu Shenyuan and Fu Xingyi in the living room, preparing to go to the Fu family's old residence with them.
There was a noise upstairs. Jiang Ranxing looked up and saw Fu Shenyuan and Lin Xuesha coming out of the room together. Lin Xuesha was tidying Fu Shenyuan's clothes, and they were behaving intimately.
Could it be that they...?
Jiang Ranxing's heart tightened.
Lin Xuesha's gentle voice came through.
"I specially designed this suit for you to attend your birthday banquet. Do you like it, Shen Yuan?"
Fu Shenyuan had no doubt: "Of course I like what you made."
"That's good. It's a pity I can't go with you. I even designed a matching dress." Lin Xuesha complained coquettishly.
"There will be an opportunity." Fu Shenyuan gently stroked Lin Xuesha's hair.
Jiang Ranxing listened to the almost flirtatious tone of the two people upstairs.
Her dream life was to love each other with Fu Shenyuan, tidy each other's clothes, do everyday things as a couple, and live a simple and happy life.
But she never had it.
She had worked hard for six years, and Fu Shenyuan had never been so gentle with her.
Not only was there no tenderness, but there was also complete indifference and coldness.
A pang of pain rose in Jiang Ranxing's heart.
Fu Shenyuan and Lin Xuesha only noticed Jiang Ranxing when they went downstairs to the living room.
Jiang Ranxing wasn't wearing a fancy dress or dressed up in a particularly elaborate way.
Jiang Ranxing chose a very elegant and simple light blue cheongsam. Her hair was simply tied up with a hairpin, and she wore no jewelry. Her whole demeanor was light and elegant.
In contrast, Fu Shenyuan's suit was luxurious and dazzling, while Lin Xuesha had a delicate face and was adorned with exquisite jewelry.
Anyone who looks at it thinks Fu Shenyuan and Lin Xuesha are a better match.
In the past, Jiang Ranxing would wear dresses that she didn't like, just to match Fu Shenyuan.
Just so that in the eyes of outsiders they would be a well-matched couple.
She did it all so that she could deceive herself into believing she was happy.
Now, she only wants to wear clothes that make her happy and comfortable.
She was no longer willing to accommodate Fu Shenyuan.
She only wants to accommodate herself.
Looking back now, I realize that making myself happy and comfortable is the most important thing.
"When do we leave?" Jiang Ranxing asked.
Fu Shenyuan then glanced at her and was instantly shocked by Jiang Ranxing's attire.
He had never seen Jiang Ranxing look so elegant.
It's very different from before.
Her face hadn't changed much, but her attire had, giving her a refined and elegant look.
“Now,” Fu Shenyuan said, turning to comfort Lin Xuesha, “Xuesha, I’ll have the driver take you back to your apartment first, and I’ll come see you after I’m done.”
Lin Xuesha said coquettishly, "Alright, then come over early, I'll wait for you, Shen Yuan."
Fu Shenyuan: "Okay."
Jiang Ranxing felt really uncomfortable seeing the two of them so reluctant to part in front of her.
She instinctively couldn't control her feelings for Fu Shenyuan.
After all, it was a relationship of more than ten years; you can't just stop loving someone like that.
She could only try her best to control herself with reason.
Jiang Ranxing clenched her fist so tightly that she didn't even realize her nails were digging into her flesh.
Fu Xingyi also ran down at this moment, looking at Lin Xuesha's departing figure, her small face full of disappointment.
"Dad, isn't Aunt Xue Sha coming with us? I want Aunt Xue Sha to go, I don't want to take Mom."
Fu Shenyuan didn't want to explain or reason with the child; he simply asked the driver to take Fu Xingyi to the car.
Fu Shenyuan waved to Jiang Ranxing and said, "Get in the car."
Jiang Ranxing declined: "No need, I'll drive myself."
Fu Shenyuan paused, turned around, and looked displeased.
"Do you think this is appropriate?"
Jiang Ranxing was not afraid of him: "Do you think it's appropriate for me to sit with you? If that's really what you want, why don't you go and call Miss Lin back to join us? I wouldn't mind."
Fu Shenyuan smiled: "If possible, I would prefer to wear Xue Sha."
After saying that, Fu Shenyuan got into the back seat of the car, ignoring Jiang Ranxing, and told the driver to drive away.
Jiang Ranxing was left standing there alone, feeling quite uneasy.
Bitterness, pain, and resentment all welled up in my heart.
She could only keep trying to convince herself.
It doesn't matter anymore, Jiang Ranxing. Didn't you say you didn't care about Fu Shenyuan anymore? Didn't you want a divorce? Why bother caring what Fu Shenyuan says?
After the divorce, who he takes with him and where he goes is none of her business.
Fu Shenyuan wanted to take Lin Xuesha back to the Fu family's old house, something he had wanted to do for many years.
So it turns out she's been usurping my place all along.
Jiang Ranxing laughed at his own behavior.
Jiang Ranxing also drove towards the Fu family's old residence.
The Fu family's old residence has a dedicated banquet hall, which is currently packed with people, and you can hear how lively it is from the outside.
Fu Shenyuan and Jiang Ranxing followed.
As usual, Jiang Ranxing wanted to put his arm around her, but after thinking about it, he finally put his hand down.
Fu Shenyuan turned his head and looked at her.
“Our relationship isn’t quite close enough right now,” Jiang Ranxing said.
