Chapter 68: Sit and Wait
Shen Jinglan picked up a bag of seaweed and put it in the basket. "This is what you have loved since you were a child. How about taking two more bags?"
Shen Shuli smiled very sweetly, "Okay, you always remember what I like to eat?"
"Of course. When you were little, you chased me around and asked me to buy this for you. I'll never forget it."
Shen Jinglan joked.
Shen Shuli angrily hit his shoulder, "Stop talking nonsense, I'm angry!"
Shen Jinglan's eyebrows curved, his eyes full of doting, "By the way, Fu Xijue fought back, I won't stop. Fu Lingyuan dared to hurt you like this, I must make their entire Fu family pay the price in blood."
When she heard the word "Fu", the smile on Shen Shuli's face suddenly disappeared. She turned her eyes and happened to see Bai Jinghong looking at her. She couldn't help but frowned and stopped moving forward.
Shen Jinglan stopped and turned back to glance at her face in surprise, "What's wrong?"
Bai Jinghong's lips curled up into a smile, and he pushed the cart towards her, "Miss Chen, what a coincidence, I actually ran into you here, do you want to talk alone?"
"I have nothing to talk about with you. I don't know you well."
Shen Shuli looked away and followed Shen Jinglan. She knew that Bai Jinghong had come with bad intentions.
Even though Fu Yanci had always said that he and Bai Jinghong had nothing to do with each other, she was not naive enough to fail to notice Bai Jinghong's subtle provocations in the past.
Bai Jinghong followed her and leaned close to her ear, "Are you sure you don't want to hear about why you can't get pregnant?"
Shen Jinglan pushed her away forcefully, without mercy because she was a woman, "Get out! Who allowed you to get close to Lili!"
Bai Jinghong smiled faintly, "I'll be waiting for you at the cafe at the door."
After saying that, he turned and left.
She had already laid the bait, and she didn't believe that Shen Shuli wouldn't come.
Shen Jinglan put his arm around her shoulders and said, "It's obvious that she has bad intentions. Don't be fooled. You are planning to divorce Fu Yanci anyway, so stay away from anyone around him."
"Brother, wait for me at the door of the cafe. I have something I must ask her in person."
Shen Shuli didn't want to sit there and wait for death and listen to Fu Yanci's sophistry. Even though she knew that Bai Jinghong had bad intentions, she had to ask her clearly.
Shen Jinglan was somewhat helpless, "Is Fu Yanci so good that he's worth you going through fire and water for him?"
When Shen Shuli heard this name, her heart ached as if it was bleeding.
"He doesn't deserve it!"
Having said that, she turned and walked towards the cashier.
Shen Jinglan shook his head helplessly, but still followed. He would never allow anyone to bully his Shen Shuli under his nose!
When they arrived at the coffee shop, Bai Jinghong sat in the corner by the window with a bag of red beans in front of her. She drank coffee and looked at the fallen leaves outside the window.
Shen Jinglan sat at the door, not getting close, and could ensure that he could see that Shen Shuli would not get into trouble at any time.
Shen Shuli sat down opposite Bai Jinghong, wearing a dark green windbreaker, looking noble and arrogant.
"What do you want to tell me?"
"Let me order you a cup of coffee. I heard from Yan Ci that you love cappuccino the most, right?"
Bai Jinghong greeted the waiter and enthusiastically ordered a cappuccino.
Shen Shuli's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.
Bai Jinghong was telling her that Fu Yanci didn't hide anything from her, even small things like her love for cappuccino!
When the coffee was served, Shen Shuli didn't move at all and got straight to the point.
"What is your relationship with Fu Yanci? There's no need to lie to me. I can find out everything."
Bai Jinghong drank a cup of coffee, his eyes gentle, "We can be considered childhood sweethearts, having known each other since birth. Our families were both very poor, and we have always taken care of each other. We have been together since we were eating supplementary food."
Shen Shuli had no expression as he listened to her showing off.
"Actually, his mother loved me very much. From a very young age, she always took care of me and planned to be the daughter-in-law of the Fu family. Unfortunately, when Fu Yanci was 10 years old, he was sent to the Fu family, and everything changed. He fell in love with you, and I don't care. However, he still took into account the relationship between the two families and always looked after me."
Bai Jinghong was lost in memories, smiling sweetly, with stars in her eyes.
Shen Shuli listened to everything without any ripples in his heart. Although he had expected it, he did not expect that the relationship between them would be so close.
"But don't get me wrong. He's always loved you. We're just partners. I help him take care of his mother, and he gives me money to ensure our family has enough food and clothing. He doesn't give me much, only five million a month, not even a fraction of your pocket money. You don't have to mind. After all, I gave up my lifelong happiness to stay by his mother's side and take good care of her. This is what I deserve, right?"
Bai Jinghong tried his best to distance himself from the matter, and his rhetoric was exactly the same as Fu Yanci's.
However, Shen Shuli heard a hint of provocation in her voice. She seemed to be showing off. As Fu Yanci's nominal wife, she had no right to take care of his mother. The only daughter-in-law his mother had chosen was Bai Jinghong!
"You said you couldn't get pregnant. What did Fu Yanci tell you?"
Bai Jinghong put down the coffee cup. "Well, he loves you too much. So, he doesn't want you to suffer through childbirth. He even approached me and asked me to help you two get pregnant and give birth to your child, but I refused. I wouldn't do such a thing, no matter how much money I was offered. Don't you agree?"
Shen Shuli's blood rushed up, and he felt extremely nauseous. He stroked his chest gently, but he couldn't suppress the nausea.
Fu Yanci actually asked Bai Jinghong to do this kind of thing!
What love!
What do you mean you don't want her to suffer!
Why should she let another woman give birth to her child, Shen Shuli!
Bai Jinghong helped her get a piece of paper, "Miss Chen, what's wrong? I came to you with good intentions because Yan Ci told me that you misunderstood my relationship with him, and I also wanted to be frank with you. Although he and I have known each other since birth, we really have no relationship. We are just working together. It's just that there are many things he can't tell you, so he can only tell me, that's all."
"I'm his wife, why can't he tell me but can tell you?"
Shen Shuli knew that her words were not well-intentioned, but she still had to ask. The paranoid anger almost suffocated her.
Bai Jinghong picked up the coffee cup and took a sip without saying anything, but his attitude already said it all, no words needed to be spoken.
Shen Shuli was completely enraged, stood up angrily, and grabbed her collar, "Tell me, why!"
Bai Jinghong was extremely panicked, tears streaming down her face, trembling with fear, "Miss Shen, I was wrong, I came here to clarify things with you, please don't hit me!"
Everyone in the cafe looked at them!
