Chapter 161 Breaking Your Pride Inch by Inch



I have to say, it hurts.

When Fu Qichuan and I got married, there was no engagement party, and even the wedding was arranged by my grandfather.

He made his appearance reluctantly.

It’s not that grand, Qiwei said, and he doesn’t want to make it public.

The only people present at the wedding were members of the Fu family and close friends of both parties.

As simple as a dinner party.

From marriage to divorce, outsiders only knew that he doted on his wife, but not many people knew his wife's name.

I suppressed my emotions and looked away, and out of the corner of my eye I saw Fu Qichuan striding out in a custom-made tuxedo with a sullen expression.

The person holding his arm was Shen Xingyu, who was wearing a dress I designed.

The golden boy and the beautiful girl, their dresses shimmering with brilliance, immediately attracted the attention of many guests.

Many people wanted to come forward and curry favor with him.

Shen Xingyu, however, walked towards me, acting like a hostess. "Miss Ruan, I asked you to come here today just because I was worried there might be a problem with your dress. I hope this won't affect your mood."

Jiang Lai warned calmly, "Shen Xingyu, I advise you not to make trouble when you have a good life."

She is very experienced in dealing with people at work, but in private, she is never a soft persimmon that can be bullied by others.

It can be said that if no one offends me, I will not offend anyone. If someone offends me, I will offend my ancestors for eight generations.

Shen Xingyu said coldly, "Did I talk to you?"

"I'm in a good mood."

I said to Jiang Lai lightly, looking at Shen Xingyu steadily, "I wish you a happy wedding."

Stop focusing on me, your insignificant ex-wife.

I don't want to be involved in this shit anymore.

Today's engagement party ended successfully and it can be brought to an end in one go.

Throughout the whole process, I didn't even glance at Fu Qichuan.

I don’t want to, and I don’t dare.

Shen Xingyu was surprised for a moment, "I never thought Miss Ruan was so open-minded."

She shook Fu Qichuan's arm and said, "Brother Qichuan, you two are not just a couple by agreement, and you don't have any feelings for each other. Miss Ruan must like someone else!"

Fu Qichuan seemed to have heard a joke. He lowered his eyes and glanced at her, his eyes cold. "Aren't we the same? The marriage is complete, and we each get what we need."

“…”

Shen Xingyu originally wanted to embarrass me, and this slap landed on her own face. She glared at Fu Qichuan and said coquettishly, "So what? You've already divorced her. But you and I, once we're married, we'll be inseparable for the rest of our lives!"

I don't know whether this sentence was said to Fu Qichuan or to me.

Of course, I wouldn't stay here any longer and make myself bored. While they were flirting, I pulled Jiang Laiqian to a corner where no one was paying attention.

In the following period of time, Shen Xingyu had no time to bother me again.

Perhaps, her main purpose today was to let me see how she stood next to Fu Qichuan.

At the engagement ceremony, the song played was actually a song I really liked.

The singer's gentle voice drew my thoughts away.

I have listened to this song countless times in the past, and all I imagined was my future with Fu Qichuan.

But... when he woke up from the dream, he was already standing next to another person.

"ah……"

Suddenly, exclamations were heard from the stage, and the guests also gasped one after another.

However, due to the status of the two families, no one dared to speak loudly, but their expressions were different.

I suddenly came to my senses and saw that Shen Xingyu's dress had fallen off her shoulders. Although she pulled it in time and it was stuck at her waist, it was no different from Qian Guang's.

The suspenders on the shoulders broke and fell apart.

My head buzzed, and then I heard Jiang Lai say, "Oh my god, help... Ruan Ruan, how could this happen?"

I squeezed my palms and said, "I don't know..."

This problem shouldn't occur.

When I was sewing, the needle and thread were smooth and neat, and the whole dress was made to fit her figure perfectly. Even if the strap broke, it would be temporarily stuck to her chest and would not fall down immediately.

Unless the zipper on the back also breaks at the same time.

But it's impossible.

The suppliers of fabrics and zippers are all from the same company we worked with when we were at Fu’s, so the quality is absolutely up to standard.

Anyway, these are clothes I made myself.

I grabbed my coat, stood up and ran onto the stage. When I was about to help her put it on, she raised her hand like crazy and slapped me!

"You did this on purpose, didn't you? You wanted to embarrass me today!!"

I subconsciously covered my burning face and slapped her back without saying a word, "Shen Xingyu, I'm not so crazy as to destroy my own reputation!"

Shen Xingyu's eyes were wide open, and when she was about to pounce on me again, Fu Qichuan came over with a stern look on his face. He pulled her behind him, took off his coat and put it on her.

He looked like he was protecting his wife.

Shen Li came over with two bodyguards, his chest heaving with anger, "Lock her up!"

Seeing Fu Qichuan frowning, Shen Li sneered, "Boss Fu, you are not going to defend her today, are you?"

"Of course not."

Fu Qichuan didn't even spare me a glance, his tone as cold as the frost in the coldest days of winter, "An ex-wife."

"That's good!"

At Shen Qi's command, the bodyguards immediately took action.

I know that this is the Shen family's territory. She is followed by two bodyguards, but there are actually more than one.

I lowered my eyes slightly, not even bothering to resist, "You don't have to do anything, I can do it myself."

Seeing that I understood what was good for me, the bodyguards decided to walk in front of me and behind me, one leading the way and the other watching me from behind.

Jiang Lai wanted to rush over, but was stopped by other bodyguards.

We then went to the hotel basement, got in the car, and drove to a villa area where every inch of land is worth a lot of money.

When we arrived at a villa with the best view, the bodyguard pulled me out of the car and pushed me into a storage room.

"Stay here honestly. I'll let you out when Madam comes back."

"Can...can we change places?"

At the moment the door was about to close, fear drove me to speak.

Ever since something happened at home, I've been unable to control my fear of this small, dark, confined space.

"This is what Madam instructed. We have no say in it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door closed with a click.

It was pitch black in front of me, and my first reaction was to look for my phone, but it was left in my hotel bag, so I could only fumble for the light switch.

I finally found it, but no matter how I pressed it, there was no response.

The repeated clicking sounds reached the ears of the bodyguard outside the door.

He reminded through the door, "Don't waste your energy, the power in the storage room is out."

There is no hope.

Memories of the past came flooding back, and I leaned against the wall with a muffled thud, slowly sliding down, my entire chest shaking.

No, no...

When I was a child, I cried and made a fuss and begged them for a long time.

It's useless.

Now that I have grown up, I have become a mute.

The older I get, the more I understand the benefits of power.

Just like today's engagement party, whether I come or not, they can always find a reason to lock me up in this place.

Even though I have tried so hard to avoid them and live my own life.

However, just because I have no power or influence, what I think is never important.

I don’t know how long it was before I heard movement at the door, the door lock turned, and finally light came in.

Chen Yu, dressed in an elegant and luxurious cheongsam, stared down at me with a cold smile, "Ruan Nanzhi, aren't you very arrogant? You dare to hit my daughter on the stage? Today, I will break your pride inch by inch."
