"Aunt Gu, I want to—"
Su Wantang's voice was interrupted by a male voice that suddenly sounded behind her.
The voice sounded somewhat familiar, so she turned her head to look.
It's Fu Jing.
"Auntie." Fu Jing returned home from get off work but didn't see Gu Shiya, so he went to the hospital and, based on his understanding of Gu Shiya, found his way here.
"Auntie?" Su Wantang's surprised gaze darted between Fu Jing and Gu Shiya. No wonder, no wonder...
That day, after Fu Jing left the store, a doctor named Gu, who claimed to be Fu Jing's aunt, called and said that the exchange was off.
When Su Wantang received the call, she felt a little regretful, but she was indeed too busy to pay attention. Besides, it was also true that Aunt Fu Jing had cried a lot on her way to the store to find her, and she didn't know what had happened.
On the phone, Su Wantang asked, but the other party denied that anything was wrong, only saying that they had lost control of their emotions.
Now that Fu Jing has called out "Auntie," what else could Su Wantang not understand?
At the same time, I felt a sudden tightness in my chest for no reason.
The next second, Su Wantang heard Fu Jing say again, "Auntie, you promised me that you would no longer interfere in matters related to Su Zhichen."
Her heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously looked at Gu Shiya: "Aunt Gu?"
Gu Shiya gave Su Wantang a reassuring look, her voice soft yet firm.
"He is him, and Wan Tang is Wan Tang."
Fu Jing's dark, bright eyes stared straight at Gu Shiya, and his words were as cruel as ever.
"Auntie, are you sure...you're not just extending your affection to everything related to her?"
Gu Shiya swayed slightly as she stood up, and Su Wantang quickly reached out to support her, asking with concern, "Aunt Gu?"
"Wantang, I'll ask you out another day." Gu Shiya said in a low voice, gently brushed away Su Wantang's hand from her arm, and staggered out of the restaurant.
That silhouette looked exactly like someone fleeing in panic.
Su Wantang looked up at Fu Jing, her tone firm: "You also know about what happened back then? Tell me, I want to know."
“You should ask your dad.” Fu Jing ground his back teeth, clenched his fist, and his knuckles turned white.
He turned to leave, but Su Wantang grabbed his arm, meeting his bewildered gaze.
"My dad doesn't know or recognize Aunt Gu. Could it be that Aunt Gu has mistaken him for someone else? For example, does my dad have a full brother?"
Fu Jing sneered and was about to speak when he suddenly caught sight of Lu Huai'an, who had entered the room at some point. He changed his words and said, "Your man is here."
Su Wantang was startled, subconsciously let go of his hand, turned her head to look back, and called out nervously, "Huai'an."
Seeing Su Wantang's gesture of distancing herself from him, Fu Jing's expression was complicated.
Lu Huai'an walked over, took Su Wantang's hand, and said, "Tangtang, aren't you going to introduce me?"
Su Wantang straightened her expression: "Huai'an, this is Fu Jing, the police captain I mentioned to you before."
"Captain Fu, this is my man, Lu Huai'an."
"Hello, Lu Huai'an." Lu Huai'an extended his palm.
Fu Jing glanced at it with lowered eyelids, but did not reach out to shake hands. He twitched his lips and gave a self-deprecating laugh.
“Su Wantang, look… there’s no room for a third party in a relationship between two people. No matter what kind of emotional entanglement my aunt and your father had, thirty years is enough time for my aunt to be held back.”
"I also implore you not to appear in front of my aunt again and again; it's hurtful to her."
“I…” Su Wantang suddenly found herself at a loss for words.
Today at the hospital, Su Wantang learned some things about Gu Shiya from the nurses.
Aunt Gu is still unmarried and lives alone.
If there is no other branch, no twin brothers, then all the signs indicate that Dad betrayed Aunt Gu, and Aunt Gu waited for him for thirty years.
Fu Jing is gone.
Su Wantang, however, was trapped in a swamp, and the more she struggled, the more powerless she became.
Based on her understanding of Su Zhichen, he wouldn't be a heartless man, but that's the truth. What exactly happened back then?
"Tangtang, Tangtang..." Lu Huai'an's brows furrowed with worry, but Su Wantang mustered her spirits and shook her head at him, "I'm fine."
"Huai'an, tell me, what exactly happened back then? What happened between Aunt Gu and Dad..."

The faint sobbing sounds inside the room gradually subsided.
"Auntie, I made some porridge. Come out and have some, your stomach isn't good." Fu Jing's voice rang out from outside the door at just the right moment.
After a while, Gu Shiya opened the tightly closed door.
"You're usually so good with words, aren't you? Trying to piss me off? Why do you even care if I live or die?"
“Auntie, it’s better to have a short pain than a long one,” Fu Jing said firmly.
"Can't I not feel pain?" Gu Shiya said irritably.
Fu Jing remained silent, but his face clearly conveyed the message, "Do you even believe that yourself?"
Gu Shiya fell silent instantly.
Her sister is gentle and her brother-in-law is kind, so how did they end up with such a nephew who has a poisonous tongue?
Gu Shiya sat down with her cheeks puffed out in anger and drank two mouthfuls of porridge.
“I wasn’t planning to contact them, but Wan Tang contacted me to ask me some questions.”
"Don't call her so affectionately. She's the daughter of the heartless man you've been waiting for for thirty years, and another woman."
"Little Kyung-kyung!" Gu Shiya said angrily, "Can't you say something nicer?"
"What? You want her to be your daughter? I have no interest in having another cheap little sister."
Gu Shiya: "..."
"Do you believe me or not? If you say another word, I'll plaster your entire police station with photos of you in a skirt?"
Fu Jing's face darkened instantly: "Didn't you say it was gone?"
"The photos are gone, but I still have the original film."
Fu Jing: "...Auntie, you're so childish."
"As long as it works."
The two of them remained silent and ate their meal quietly.
After dinner, as Fu Jing got up to wash the dishes, Gu Shiya suddenly said, "Little Jingjing, Auntie knows what you're worried about. Don't worry, since Auntie has promised you, I won't have any more entanglements with the Su family."
Fu Jing tightened his grip on the rim of the bowl, forced a smile, but still said nothing.
"I promised Wan Tang that if she answered three questions for me, I would tell her about what happened back then. You know about what happened back then, so when you get back, could you help your aunt tell her? Okay, Fu Jing?"
Fu Jing...
My aunt is rarely so serious, and she humbly begs like this.
"good."

"Wantang, Huai'an is back." Aunt Wang greeted you warmly. "Wantang, a woman who called herself Sisi called you, saying she was your friend. She asked me to let you know when you got home and call her back."
"Okay, Aunt Wang."
It's probably related to the whitening cream.
Su Wantang dialed the number back, but Li Sisi answered it quickly after only one ring. Her cheerful voice, like a lark, eased the gloom that had been lingering in Su Wantang's heart all the way.
"Sister Wantang, my aunt said it's settled. Come to my house for lunch tomorrow and we'll sign the contract."
"good."
The two talked about other things for a while before hanging up the phone.
"Finished fighting?" Lu Huai'an walked over.
"Um."
"The phone is dusty and dirty. Let me take you to wash your hands."
Lu Huai'an pulled Su Wantang into the bathroom. He lathered Su Wantang's hands with soap and washed them three times before stopping.
Surely it's not that complicated...?
Lying in bed, Su Wantang was still thinking about this when suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck her.
"Huai'an, are you jealous?"
