When Jiang Lai heard this, not only was she not disappointed, she even asked curiously, "Are you going with Zhou Fang, the one who lives across the street from you?"
"How do you know?"
"I don't know who's around you. Besides me, it's Lu Shiyan and Fu Qichuan. You can't possibly bother with Fu Qichuan, but if it's Lu Shiyan, you'll tell me directly. By process of elimination, only Zhou Fang is left."
My gaze fell on the neon-lit high-rise buildings in the distance, and I chuckled, "Okay, okay, nothing can escape your eyes."
I chatted with her for a few more words, hung up the phone, and when I turned around, I saw the man who had woken up.
I put away my phone, suppressed my smile, and said calmly, "Now that you're awake, let's go back."
His dark eyes stared at me, "You want to hide from me so much now?"
"no."
I shook my head and walked into the living room. "I just want to save myself some trouble."
Just as they all thought, I was an orphan with no one to rely on, so how could I have the qualifications to confront them head-on?
Whether it's the Fu family or the Shen family, I can afford to avoid them if they can't afford to offend me.
Fu Qichuan frowned, "Is it Fu Jinan who's looking for you again?"
"It's Shen Xingyu. She came to see me."
I said it clearly, a little tiredly, "Fu Qichuan, let's not make things difficult for each other. Let's get the divorce certificate as soon as possible."
He goes his way, and I go mine.
He ignored me and calmly changed the subject, "Why did you suddenly want to sell the house? Did something happen to you?"
"None of this has anything to do with you."
The more you talk, the deeper the entanglement becomes. Why bother?
Fu Qichuan pinched his brows and changed the question, "How much money do you need? Is the money for the apartment enough?"
This question is more direct.
I frowned, not wanting to answer this question, "There's no need to ask so many questions between us..."
"Nanzhi,"
He sighed and interrupted me, "Can't we get a divorce and never see each other again? Can't I... help you?"
As he spoke, the man's eyes were fixed on me. His eyes were very dark after drinking, as if they wanted to suck me in.
Suddenly, I was slightly startled. After coming to my senses, I lowered my eyelashes. "At least, we need to be clear about the money. I don't want anything other than what's in the divorce agreement, including the shares. I will return them to you after the divorce process is completed."
I sighed softly and spoke as casually as possible, "As long as you don't ask questions or pay attention to me, that's the most helpful thing you can do for me."
Only in this way will those troubles stay away from me.
Only then can I live my life in peace and quiet.
I have never thought that the person I once held dear to my heart and pursued so hard, now my only expectation for him is to break up with him completely.
I don’t dare to think about anything else, and I don’t want to think about it anymore.
Hearing this, Fu Qichuan's expression became dejected. After a moment's pause, he spoke in a deep voice, "Tell me, am I a complete mess when it comes to family matters?"
I was stunned, and a wave of sadness crossed my heart. "What do you mean?"
His raven-feather eyelashes drooped, and he smiled self-deprecatingly, feeling a little tipsy. "To repay Aunt Wen's kindness, I indulged Fu Jin'an time and time again, ruining my marriage. Now I return home to an empty room, and I'll never see you again when I look up."
"I don't even look forward to going home."
The scenes that had seemed quite harmonious over the past three days suddenly came into my mind.
Yes, in the first three years, I didn’t know that his gentleness and restraint were just to please me. In fact, I also felt happy in this marriage.
I wait for him to come home at night, and when I open my eyes in the morning I can see him sleeping next to me.
This feeling of happiness once made me deeply immersed in it.
But once the pretense is torn apart, there is no going back. I even think that I was stupid and ridiculous at that time.
He was just perfunctory, but I really felt happy...
A sour feeling surged from the bottom of my heart to my nose. I turned my head away, sniffed, and didn't respond.
I don't know what else to say.
Are you trying to play the victim or just take the opportunity to scold him?
It doesn't make any sense.
He exhaled, "Now, I find... Aunt Wen's image is also different from the one I printed."
I pursed my lips gently, "How old were you when she got into trouble to save you?"
"12 years old."
Fu Qichuan remembered it very clearly and answered without thinking.
I couldn't help but mutter, "No wonder he's so deceitful."
Even a primary school student who was deceived and sold would help count the money.
What's more, this was a living person. In order to save him, he lay on the hospital bed and received Fu Yuhai's instructions.
Moreover, with Wen Fang's methods, I can almost imagine how she treats Fu Qichuan after marrying into the Fu family. She must be very caring and considerate to him.
She just hoped that Fu Qichuan would be able to make a magnanimous move in the future and let her live a more comfortable life.
Finally, marry Fu Jinan in.
"What did you say?"
Fu Qichuan didn't hear what I said clearly and asked in confusion.
I covered it up, "No, nothing. What about Wen Fang...what makes you feel different?"
"She knew about Fu Yuhai and Fu Jinan, but she still wanted me to marry Fu Jinan." Fu Qichuan's tone was cold, revealing an unpredictable emotion.
I was a little surprised. It was really unexpected that these two mother and daughter could get back together.
They were arguing fiercely at the Civil Affairs Bureau just two days ago, but now they have reached an agreement.
I laughed and half-jokingly said, "What about Shen Xingyu? A principal wife and a concubine?"
"Ruan Nanzhi,"
He looked at me helplessly, but there was some tenderness in his eyes. He said as if to assure me, "I won't marry anyone. Don't listen to or believe what others say."
I was stunned and pinched my palm unconsciously. "Who you marry has nothing to do with me. You don't need to explain this to me."
After saying that, I looked at the time and said, "It's very late. I have something to do tomorrow. You should leave now."
If a man and a woman are alone, they should still have some sense of propriety.
Fu Qichuan was silent for a long time, but he was used to being superior, and he couldn't stand me chasing him away again and again. He stood up uncomfortably, his steps a little unsteady.
"I will transfer the money to you, but you are not allowed to sell the house."
Maybe because of the alcohol, his eyes were wet and his voice was a little hoarse.
I refused again, my patience running out. "I said, I don't need it. What I do with the house is my business, you have no right to interfere."
"Anyway, I won't allow it."
The man looked at me gravely, said this, and turned away.
The next day, when I woke up, I was annoyed by the extra number on my bank balance.
Jiang Lai was going to pick me up to go choose an office building. He put down the lunch he brought for me, took my phone and started counting.
The more he counted, the brighter his eyes became. "One, ten, ten, thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, ten thousand, sponsor daddy..."
