How could Fu Qingruo have fallen in love so quickly with a man she had only known for a few months, and who also had a grudge against her younger brother?
Even if she had never heard Fu Yunchen mention his past with Chu Lin, she would have noticed something amiss with a little investigation!
Now it seems that experience truly matters.
"So, you knew all along why I approached you, but you deliberately went along with it and turned the tables on me?" Chu Lin clenched his fists angrily, the veins on the back of his hands bulging. He asked unwillingly, "Was your affection for me all fake too?"
Fu Qingruo's eyes were indifferent, as if mocking his naivety, "I didn't even accept your confession, so why do you think I would like you?"
In an instant, Chu Lin felt as if his heart had been struck by a violent blow, making it hard for him to breathe.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he forced out the words through clenched teeth: "Then when did Fu Yunchen find out you were acting?"
Fu Yunchen's expression was extremely calm: "At the beginning."
He noticed Fu Qingruo's unusual behavior earlier than Yi Tianran.
When Yi Tianran mentioned that Fu Qingruo's perfume had changed to a citrus scent, she had some suspicions.
A quick investigation revealed that Chu Lin had been getting close to Fu Qingruo.
The fact that Fu Qingruo neither accepted nor rejected it was quite meaningful.
After all, they are siblings, and their tacit understanding over the years is unmatched by anyone else.
Fu Qingruo's expression was cold, and her tone was firm: "We siblings will never be sown apart by anyone with ill intentions!"
From beginning to end, Chu Lin thought everything was under his control. He believed he had toyed with Fu Qingruo's feelings and sowed discord between her and Fu Yunchen. But in the end, he was the one who had been toyed with.
The onlookers almost choked on this piece of gossip.
It turns out they weren't lovers at all, but enemies!
These days, when you're out and about, you only encounter people who are actually good actors!
Chu Lin was furious and his heart ached with hatred.
At this crucial moment, Yi Tianran added fuel to the fire, "Mr. Chu, do you still remember the harsh words you uttered before, that if you lost to President Fu, you would kneel down before him and shout three times, 'Father, I was wrong'?"
Chu Lin's face was dark and stormy, and his eyes were filled with intense killing intent, which made people feel cold as soon as they looked at him.
Yi Tianran wasn't afraid of him at all and continued to talk eloquently, "What, are you going to go back on your word, become a coward, and be despised behind people's backs?"
These words were clearly spoken by him to Fu Yunchen in the lounge half an hour ago.
Now Yi Tianran simply returned the favor exactly as it was, but it infuriated him to the point of rage. "Shut up!"
Enraged, he rushed forward to hit her.
Fu Yunchen didn't give him a chance. He grabbed the arm that the man was swinging, then pressed down on the man's stomach with his elbow and threw him away with an over-the-shoulder throw.
Chu Lin felt as if his internal organs had been displaced, causing him excruciating pain.
His face was deathly pale, and when he looked up, he met Fu Yunchen's icy gaze.
His voice was cold and deep, carrying a chilling murderous intent, "Your filthy hands are not worthy to touch her!"
What Chu Lin couldn't stand most was that he was stared at with that condescending gaze.
It was as if, in his eyes, he was a joke.
Just then, Yi Tianran walked lightly to Fu Yunchen's side, her gaze filled with contempt as she looked at him. "I merely explained the bet between you and Fu Yunchen, and you're already so angry that you want to hit a woman? How petty! No wonder you'll never be as good as Fu Yunchen in this lifetime, because that's all you're capable of."
Every word he uttered seemed designed to strike at Chu Lin's most sensitive spots, each one potentially fatal.
Chu Lin's self-esteem was greatly humiliated.
He leaned against the wall, struggling to get up from the ground, his gaze sweeping venomously over Fu Yunchen and Yi Tianran's faces.
Finally, the words fell on Fu Qingruo, who was standing silently to the side. She gritted her teeth and said, "I've spent so much effort on you, and this is how you treat me. I will never let you go. You all just wait. I will repay this debt a hundredfold in the future."
This time, his greatest humiliation was brought to her by Fu Qingruo.
Just ten minutes ago, he actually thought Fu Qingruo loved him so much that she couldn't control herself. Turns out, this was all an act. How could this woman be so vicious!
He was humiliated and vowed not to rest until he avenged himself.
His heart was filled with hatred.
But he seems to have forgotten that he was the one who started with ill intentions and deceived other people's feelings.
Fu Qingruo was able to avoid being fooled because of her strong will. If it were a naive young lady, she would probably have been bewitched by his sweet words, given everything, and then lost everything and been abandoned in the end.
The other person may suffer from pain and tears at best, or become depressed at worst, and in more serious cases, may even choose to commit suicide.
Looking at his face, which was trying to shift the blame onto others, Yi Tianran curled her lips in disgust. "You don't think you're some kind of overpowered male lead, do you? You're going to pay back a hundredfold someday? Pah, you really think you're something special."
Chu Lin stumbled from the mockery and left with an embarrassed expression.
The figure looked somewhat disheveled.
"Sigh, although I had a feeling that this kind of coward wouldn't actually keep his promise and apologize, I didn't expect him to be this bad." Yi Tianran shook her head in disappointment.
The remaining onlookers didn't dare linger either!
Their hearts can barely take it after hearing such a huge piece of gossip.
The feud between Fu Yunchen and Chu Lin was far greater than they had imagined.
And the eldest daughter of the Fu family is just as terrifying, actually able to play lovers with her enemy.
This kind of thing is very exciting, but none of them dare to go out and talk about it!
Given Chu Lin's vengeful nature, if bad things were spread about him, wouldn't they all suffer retribution?
I'm outta here...
On the way back, Yi Tianran intimately linked arms with Fu Qingruo, her eyes sparkling, "Big sister, your acting was so good, I almost really fell for it!"
Fu Qingruo pushed her face away with disdain, "I can't compare to you, you have a different face every day."
"It's good that you haven't changed!" Yi Tianran leaned closer and nuzzled her head against her shoulder. "I was just thinking about how to comfort you if you were really deceived and hurt by that scumbag."
Fu Qingruo's heart softened, but she still refused to admit defeat, saying, "You're overthinking it. I'm not that fragile."
“You don’t know that the three little ones are the most worried!” Yi Tianran looked up and said seriously, “You are their most beloved aunt. They haven’t been eating or sleeping well these days. They miss you so much.”
Mentioning the three little ones, Fu Qingruo felt a surge of warmth. "It was my fault for not thinking things through properly. I was afraid he would overhear my secrets, so I didn't tell you the truth."
Yi Tianran comforted her, "It's okay. As long as you explain it clearly, they will love you even more."
They never disliked Fu Qingruo.
