Chapter 81 One lets go, one persists
Memories flow, and time seems to have turned back more than ten years.
Before Fu Shenyuan was a white, hazy mist.
A little girl in a white dress stood in front of him. Fu Shenyuan couldn't see her face clearly. The little girl handed him a bouquet of flowers.
"Brother Xiaochuan, I've finally found you! Don't be sad. Here are the flowers I just picked for you. Will you cheer up?"
Fu Shenyuan accepted the flowers, and the little girl seemed overjoyed, sitting down next to him.
“I know you’re very sad because your parents passed away, but I’ll be there for you from now on. No matter where you go, I’ll be with you, and you won’t be alone.”
The little girl sat with Fu Shenyuan the whole time, talking to him.
"Brother, can I always be the starlight illuminating the mountains and rivers, and always be with you?"
Fu Shenyuan looked at the bunch of white wildflowers in his hand and smiled.
The scene shifts again to a stormy seaside where the night has swallowed up all light.
The waves were incredibly turbulent, as if they wanted to swallow all life whole.
Fu Shenyuan's body was being swept away by the waves into the boundless black water. He seemed to have lost the strength to struggle any longer, and he no longer wanted to struggle.
Suddenly, a slender, fair hand grabbed his.
"Brother Xiaochuan, hold on to me, please don't let go."
The little girl reappeared beside him, bravely and with all her might pulling him back, stopping the waves from sweeping him away.
But the power of the waves was too great, and the two of them soon lost control of their bodies.
Fu Shenyuan said, "Let go, or we'll both die."
The little girl didn't care at all; even though she had no strength left, she still didn't let go of his hand.
"I will never let Brother Xiaochuan die, no matter what." So, to Fu Shenyuan's shock, the little girl dived into the water and used all her strength to move with the waves, trying to push Fu Shenyuan to the shore.
Finally, Fu Shenyuan was no longer caught in a deeper whirlpool, and he slowly drifted toward the shore, having already choked on water.
But the little girl never popped her head out of the water again.
Fu Shenyuan's consciousness was still lingering in the treacherous waves.
"No...no!"
Then my memory was shrouded in a thick, dark fog.
Fu Shenyuan suddenly came to his senses, and in front of him was still Jiang Ranxing, wearing a white silk nightgown.
His eyes were unfocused, and his gaze kept flickering.
He was trying to figure out why he had suddenly fallen into a hazy memory of the past, or whether it was just a dream.
In Jiang Ranxing's view, Fu Shenyuan's silence was more like a tacit agreement.
With tears welling up in her eyes, Jiang Ranxing pushed Fu Shenyuan away.
"Fu Shenyuan, you are ultimately a heartless person."
At least for her, Fu Shenyuan had never been sincere.
She should never have had any illusions about Fu Shenyuan.
From this day forward, her burning heart, which had been beating for Fu Shenyuan for over a decade, would never again have any vitality.
After many twists and turns, Jiang Ranxing finally realized that there was no possibility between them.
From then on, she no longer loved Fu Shenyuan.
It's not worth giving anything to a heartless person.
All the beautiful feelings end here.
Perhaps loving him wasn't love at all, but rather an obsession that had lasted for over a decade. She no longer wanted to cling to it and decided to let go of it completely.
Jiang Ranxing wiped away her tears, turned away from Fu Shenyuan without hesitation, and walked towards her bedroom upstairs, no longer caring about him.
Fu Shenyuan only came back to his senses when the bedroom door slammed shut, looking lost and dejected.
Why did she suddenly think of the past when she was facing Jiang Ranxing?
Fu Shenyuan felt a sudden pang of heartache for no apparent reason.
No, it shouldn't be Jiang Ranxing.
It shouldn't be her...
It has nothing to do with her.
Fu Shenyuan called the housekeeper: "Keep an eye on Madam and don't let her go out."
The butler nodded and said, "Yes."
The butler looked at the black-clad bodyguards surrounding the villa. Even if the lady wanted to go out, she couldn't possibly stand up to these men.
Fu Shenyuan looked up and glanced deeply at the tightly closed master bedroom door upstairs.
That look was very complex; the butler had never seen Fu Shenyuan look like that before.
Fu Shenyuan said nothing more and left the villa.
Lin Xuesha was smugly swirling a glass of red wine in her apartment.
"Dad, don't worry, everything was done perfectly today, even better than I imagined."
Lin Xuesha scoffed, "Although Jiang Ranxing wasn't forced into anything by Zhou Mozheng, it's enough for Fu Shenyuan to misunderstand. They'll get divorced sooner or later, hahaha..."
Lin Heyuan was also very satisfied: "Then you should hurry up and win over Fu Shenyuan, and become Mrs. Fu as soon as possible."
Lin Xuesha nodded: "Don't worry, there's nothing to be afraid of for the Lin family now."
"Yes, as long as Zhou Mozheng is not in the country, no one can find out about the mess and illegal things of our Lin family. With the help of the Fu family in the future, everything will be done without anyone knowing. Our Lin family will still be the rich and powerful Lin family."
Lin Xuesha was very satisfied, imagining the scene of becoming Mrs. Fu.
With Fu Shenyuan's favor and the support of the wealthy Fu family, she could have whatever she wanted.
She will definitely be countless times more dazzling than Jiang Ranxing.
Lin Xuesha asked, "How is Xiao Che doing with you? He hasn't cried or anything, has he?"
Lin Heyuan said, "It's okay, your mother has already put Xiao Che to sleep."
"That's good. I'll talk to you later and hang up."
After hanging up the phone with Lin Heyuan, Lin Xuesha was still basking in the joy of having brought misfortune upon Jiang Ranxing.
Just then, the apartment doorbell rang.
Lin Xuesha was a little puzzled. She walked to the door, made a video call, and then opened the door.
"Shen Yuan, why are you back again?"
Lin Xuesha smelled a strong odor: "Shen Yuan, you've been drinking. How much did you drink?"
Lin Xuesha quickly helped Fu Shenyuan into the room.
Fu Shenyuan had just drunk a lot and was now somewhat intoxicated and not quite clear-headed.
Lin Xuesha helped him to the sofa.
Fu Shenyuan took Lin Xuesha's hand and tried to look at the face in front of him, attempting to match her appearance with the little girl in his memory.
But it doesn't seem to fit perfectly.
Fu Shenyuan's heart stirred, and he murmured, "Xue Sha, can you tell me about what happened back then? I can't remember some of it clearly."
Lin Xuesha's heart skipped a beat, and she almost lost face.
"Shen Yuan, have you had too much to drink? Why do you suddenly want to hear about the past? Those things happened so many years ago."
Lin Xuesha tried to change the subject: "Shen Yuan, what would you like to eat? I'll make it for you."
Just as Lin Xuesha was about to get up, Fu Shenyuan grabbed her arm.
Fu Shenyuan's gaze was firm; he refused to let Lin Xuesha leave.
"I want to know the details of how you saved me back then. Tell me."
