Chapter 157 Is Xinxin Still Angry?
"It's like this. Her marriage to her husband was forced upon her. He loved someone else, but he had no choice but to keep her by his side out of responsibility. It's said that she died without her wish, willingly dying at the hands of a criminal. You can imagine how heartbroken she must have been."
"How did she die?" Ning Xin asked expressionlessly.
"She was captured and killed by criminals. I heard that she was already dead when you arrived." Fang Yu stared at her face, with calculation in his eyes.
"Really? So pitiful." Ning Xin said in a faint voice.
Fang Yu sighed, "Yes, she died at such a young age. I heard that she tried so hard to win the master's heart, but unfortunately she was never able to do so until her death. Not only did she not win the master's heart, she also lost her own life."
Ning Xin suddenly sneered, "How ridiculous."
"Miss Ning, everything I said is true. You, you must not disbelieve it. I heard that the Fu family has never acknowledged her as their daughter-in-law, and the master has ignored her..."
Ning Xin turned around and looked at her, her tone innocent, without a hint of sarcasm, "Why are you telling me all this? What, do you want to be the hostess here?"
Fang Yu's eyes flashed, and she quickly shook her head, "Miss Ning, you misunderstood me. I told you this just to let you know about the past between our husbands, so that you can be with him without distractions."
"Really? Are you sure you're not trying to sow discord?"
Fang Yu shook her head tremblingly, "Miss Ning, please don't misunderstand me. I'm just a maid, how dare I have any desire for a gentleman? Sorry, I spoke too much."
Ning Xin nodded. "You still have some self-awareness. It's not your place as a maid to interfere in the affairs between him and me. Also, don't mention his ex-wife in front of me anymore. I'm not interested in hearing it."
After saying that, Ning Xin didn't look at her again and went into the villa.
Fang Yu clenched his fists as he looked at her back, his eyes piercing. "Why are you so arrogant? She's just a stand-in, and you really think you're so great."
Ning Xin walked to the gate of Fubei City, and the maid considerately opened the door for her. Ning Xin didn't want to go in at first, but now she had no choice but to go in.
"Xinxin, have you seen Chengcheng?"
"What?" Ning Xin frowned and looked at him, then realized that he was talking about the rabbit.
Fu Beicheng smiled and said, "You gave me the name."
Ning Xin's eyes turned cold as soon as these words came out, "It's not me. I'm not as stupid as your ex-wife. She made herself so embarrassed and even lost her life in the end."
Fu Beicheng's smile froze. Looking at the sarcasm on her face, his heart ached. "You are her. She and you are the same person. Why can't you just accept it?"
"I'm not her, I'm Ning Xin!" Ning Xin yelled at him.
Fu Beicheng's Adam's apple rolled, and he suddenly grabbed her hand. Ning Xin slapped him on the back of his hand, and it immediately turned red. "Fu Beicheng, I told you not to touch me all the time. Don't forget that we have no relationship now. What's the difference between you and a gangster?"
Fu Beicheng didn't let go of her hand. He just looked at her and stood up in front of her. His tall figure loomed over her. "As long as you want, we can have a relationship at any time. Any relationship is fine."
Ning Xin couldn't believe it. She was completely out of sync with him. She sneered and took a step back. "Sorry, I don't want to have anything to do with you. People like you are the most disgusting. You don't cherish what you have, and you pretend to be affectionate when you lose it. And I say it again, I am Ning Xin, not someone else."
Fu Beicheng's eyes trembled as he looked at her. After a long moment, he spoke in a low voice, "I already know I was wrong."
Ning Xin was stunned. She didn't want to see his hurt eyes, so she turned her head away, but Fu Beicheng suddenly held her face and turned it back.
Ning Xin impatiently slapped his hand away, "Fu Beicheng, if you continue like this, the ten-day agreement will be invalid. I will tell my father right now that you imprisoned me and ask him to take me away."
Fu Beicheng paused as he was about to touch her. They stared at each other in silence for a long time before he said, "Do you hate me that much?"
Hate? It's hard to say, Ning Xin felt complicated. She took a deep breath and softened her voice, saying in a negotiating tone, "I still have a lot of things to deal with. I really can't stay with you any longer."
The man didn't say anything.
"Fu Beicheng, please stop dwelling on the past. Can't we just live in peace?"
"I want you." Ning Xin's heart trembled at the man's short words. She thought of what the maid said and felt even more disgusted.
"No way, I can't be with you no matter who I am with."
Fu Beicheng suddenly raised his eyes and looked at her with dark and scary eyes. She suddenly sneered, "If you don't want to be with me, then who do you want to be with? Lin Ruiyang?"
Here it comes again. Ning Xin shook off his hand, not wanting to argue with him. "Just lie down. I'll go..."
The man suddenly pulled her into his arms, "Just stay here with me. You said you would take care of me. Is this how you take care of me?"
Ning Xin placed her hand on his chest and looked up at him. The man's warm body came through the thin clothes. She struggled, "What do you want?"
Fu Beicheng held her slender waist and looked down at her eyes. Her eyes were full of resistance and subtle disgust. His heart trembled, his eyes turned cold, and he lifted her chin with one hand. When their eyes met, the words he said were,
"I want to eat noodles."
"I can't." Ning Xin refused.
"Then go learn it and make it for me tomorrow."
"OK."
Fu Beicheng let her go, and seeing that she was trying to escape, his eyes dimmed.
The next moment, his eyes turned cold, "Call Fangyu in."
After a while, Fang Yu was brought in. Fu Beicheng didn't even raise his eyelids. His voice was cold and without a trace of warmth. "What did you say to her?"
"I didn't say anything." Fang Yu looked at the man's terrifying face and spoke respectfully.
"Don't make me say it a second time." Fu Beicheng's voice was chilling, his eyes sharp and able to see through everything.
Fang Yu was still trying to argue, but Fu Beicheng looked at the bodyguard behind him, and the bodyguard hit her back with the electric baton in his hand without hesitation.
"ah!"
Fu Beicheng's voice was devoid of any warmth. "I'm keeping you here so you can atone for your parents' sins, not so you can gossip about them. Do you want to tell me yourself, or do I have to dig it out of your mouth?"
Fang Yu's eyes were filled with fear. "Sir, I'll tell you what I'll tell you."
"Miss Ning asked me about my late wife, and I casually mentioned a few things to her. I really didn't say anything nonsense in front of her. Please forgive me, sir. I know I was wrong."
Fu Beicheng raised his hand, and the bodyguard struck down again with the electric baton in his hand without hesitation. Fang Yu fell heavily to the ground, screaming and dodging everywhere.
What Ning Xin resisted the most was talking about Fang Yu. How could she possibly take the initiative to ask about the past?
"stop!"
