No one expected that the first sentence that Mrs. Shen said to Fu Qichuan after she fell in love with his kind face would be so sharp.
It took me a lot of effort to hold back my smile.
However, I was the only one who could laugh after hearing this.
The atmosphere was weird and awkward.
What’s really embarrassing isn’t this sentence, but the fact that my ex-wife happens to be here.
I lowered my head slightly and looked out the window, trying to reduce my presence.
The melting snow outside the window was so dazzling that it was hard to open one's eyes.
I felt a pair of eyes fixed on me, and then I heard Fu Qichuan's voice slowly say, "Yes, just left."
Madam Shen glanced at Shen Xingyu, her expression growing colder. "I also heard that you had a hand in this?"
"grandmother……"
Shen Xingyu frowned, glared at me imperceptibly, held up her skirt and sat next to the old lady, shaking her arm.
"Who told you that? Brother Qichuan's marriage broke down a long time ago... I was just..."
"I just want to ask you one question."
Madam Shen glanced at her indifferently, "Did you get their divorce certificate on the day you announced your marriage?"
I didn't take it.
Shen Xingyu knew the answer better than anyone else.
She gritted her teeth secretly and said innocently: "It's true that they hadn't obtained the divorce certificate at that time. But, Brother Qi Chuan was willing to divorce for me, doesn't it also mean that he likes me more..."
"Shut up!"
Old Madam Shen shouted angrily, her face flushed with anger, "Who taught you to be so shameless? If you dare to say a word of what you said outside, there will be no such person as you in the Shen family!"
Shen Xingyu was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes fell on me angrily, "Ruan Nanzhi, did you say something to grandma? She even said that I, her real granddaughter..."
Old Madam Shen frowned. "What's this about Guan Nanzhi? Don't take your anger out on the distinguished guest I invited."
"Distinguished guest?"
Shen Xingyu was used to being spoiled by Shen Li, and she couldn't control her temper in front of Old Madam Shen, "What kind of distinguished guest is she? Don't you know her past..."
The words came out of his mouth but he stopped halfway.
She finally realized that I hadn't actually said anything to the old lady.
The old lady probably just knew about the marriage she was going to have and asked someone to investigate the background of the matter.
He didn't investigate my ex-wife, so he didn't know about the relationship between Fu Qichuan and me.
Madam Shen looked at her, her remaining anger subsiding. "Hasn't your mouth been spoiled by your kisses? What did you want to say? Why didn't you continue?"
"I……"
Shen Xingyu swallowed the words and muttered, "Anyway, you're just like Brother Zhou Fang, with your elbows turned outward!"
Fu Qichuan's eyelashes drooped slightly, and after suppressing some emotion, he raised his eyes and spoke slowly: "Madam Shen, please don't be angry with Xingyu. This is my fault."
I suddenly looked at him fiercely.
It was truly a sweet and romantic scene.
It would be even more perfect if I wasn't there.
Madam Shen's anger subsided a little. "You dare to say such a thing, which shows that you are responsible."
Then, he changed the subject and said in a resounding voice, "However, no matter how good you are, you are still not qualified to be our Shen family's grandson-in-law!"
It was ruthless to the extreme.
Yes, no one dared to offend Fu Qichuan in Jiangcheng, but now he was in Jingcheng, where the three major families had the final say.
The huge Fu family is now supported by him alone, without anyone else to rely on.
Coupled with the scandal involving Fu Jinan and Fu Hai, if Fu Qichuan is not careful, countless people will take advantage of the opportunity to add insult to injury.
Even if Old Lady Shen said a few words to him, he probably could only endure it.
Surprisingly, he didn't show the slightest bit of embarrassment, but rather a mixture of joy and anger that was hard to discern. He said calmly, "Whether I'm qualified or not, I'll prove it to you."
"Grandma~"
Shen Xingyu was overjoyed when she heard this. "Listen, are you still not satisfied with this..."
"You are qualified enough, and you don't need to prove anything."
Madam Shen sat upright with excellent manners. "As long as you and your mother are satisfied, that's all."
The previous sentence was against it, but now he agreed without saying anything.
Shen Xingyu was confused by what she heard. "What do you mean..."
"If he were to be Qingli's husband, he would be much worse!"
Madam Shen looked at her straight in the eyes and said, "She is more than enough for you."
His tone was calm, without even a hint of disdain.
It was like a huge slap in the face, hitting the person all over the head.
"You always think I'm not as good as her! How can there be a grandma like you!"
In front of Fu Qichuan, Shen Xingyu was so humiliated that her cheeks turned red. She stood up and ran out of the room, heading towards her own yard.
In a fit of anger, he even forgot about Fu Qichuan.
Fu Qichuan's dark eyes swept over me without any concealment, his eyes were dark and forbearing, but in front of Mrs. Shen, he said nothing in the end.
Madam Shen patted my hand and said gently, "Nanzhi, please have some breakfast first. The restaurant is just outside here. If you can't find a seat, ask a servant."
"good."
I have something to say and I want to talk to Fu Qichuan alone.
I stood up and walked out as if I didn't notice Fu Qichuan's gaze.
As I passed the windowsill, I vaguely heard a sound.
"There's no one else, Mr. Fu, please tell me the truth. What do you want from my Shen family by marrying her?"
I subconsciously stopped.
I thought it would be an exchange of benefits, with each side getting what they need.
Then he heard the man say calmly, "Madam, you're joking. I'm doing this out of affection."
Because of feelings.
I lowered my eyes slightly. He had been married to me for more than thirty days, but he had never shown any feelings for me. He had only known Shen Xingyu for a short time, but he already had feelings for me.
Love is truly the product of a certain moment.
The old lady sighed, "You and your grandfather are nothing alike."
"You... know my grandfather?"
"Now, can you tell the truth to me, an old lady?"
Fu Qichuan was silent for a long time, his voice filled with bitterness, "I have something I want to protect..."
A hand suddenly patted my shoulder.
I was startled and turned my head to see Zhou Fang raising his eyebrows. "Ruan Nanzhi, are you addicted to eavesdropping?"
&*%￥
I glared at him angrily and lowered my voice, "Did you install a surveillance camera on me?"
What kind of curse is this?
Whether I am peeking or eavesdropping, he is bound to show up in anything related to the word "stealing".
Faster than the police catching a thief.
Zhou Fang raised his chin as he walked into the room, his lips curled up slightly, revealing a bit of rogueness. "You've already got the divorce certificate, but you're still harboring such evil intentions?"
"Who doesn't have the thief's heart?"
I glanced at him sideways and started walking towards the restaurant.
Just curious.
Curiosity was what made me fail miserably.
Zhou Fang didn't follow, only uttering a drawn-out "Oh" and whispering meaningfully, "What a pair of star-crossed lovers."
