Chapter 114: Chapter 114 Megaphone

During this period, Su Mu had gone back to the old house three times, not knowing if it was tacit agreement, they never ran into each other. When grandmother asked about Fu Shinian, she would only excuse it as being busy. Fortunately, grandmother didn’t ask further, nor did she suspect anything, unaware if Fu Shinian had said something similar to the old lady.

Su Mu went to teach Wen Shaoyuan as usual, and the little guy was still very affectionate with her. Perhaps because of his previous runaway from home, Su Mu started to see Zhou Yaxian around the house more frequently. She even made an effort to express her desire to visit the old lady at the old house, wanting to personally thank her for the care she had shown Wen Shaoyuan.

Su Mu asked grandmother about it, but the old lady declined, saying that as people age, they tend to enjoy the company of others more, yet Su Mu noticed that the old lady seemed to be increasingly disinclined to entertain.

Zhou Yaxian expressed her regret but still had Su Mu take back many gifts of thanks, unable to refuse them any longer.

On the day she left, Zhou Yaxian stopped Su Mu from getting into the car, and handed her a card with serious formality:

"The 12th of December is Wen Shaoyuan’s 5th birthday party, and I hope you and your husband can come together."

Su Mu smiled as she accepted it and glanced at the elegant card:

"Certainly, thank you for the invitation."

Su Mu felt that Fu Shinian probably wouldn’t attend Wen Family’s party, but since Mrs. Wen had made it clear that both spouses were invited, she thought she should at least inform Fu Shinian. However, she didn’t inform him directly but rather called Song Yi’s phone.

When Song Yi saw "Mrs. Fu" appear on the screen, he instinctively looked up toward Fu Shinian, who was signing documents, and started cursing his bad luck inwardly. He could see that in the past few days, Fu Shinian had been frequently checking his phone, waiting for a call, and he was certain that it was Mrs. Fu’s call he was waiting for.

But now that the call had finally arrived, Mrs. Fu had dialed the wrong number.

"If you aren’t going to answer that call, just hang up. It’s disturbing to listen to," said Fu Shinian without lifting his head.

After being tormented by Fu Shinian’s unpredictable temper until he had lost weight, how could Song Yi dare to answer Su Mu’s call in front of Fu Shinian? He quickly tried to dismiss it but, panic-stricken, accidentally hit the answer button and even turned on the speakerphone. Thus, when Su Mu’s voice came through the phone’s speaker, Song Yi saw Fu Shinian suddenly stop in his tracks.

Song Yi felt like dying, but at this moment, he dared not hang up the call.

"Song Yi, there’s something I want to talk to you about."

Swallowing nervously, Song Yi tried to keep his voice steady: "Madam, please go ahead."

"I just received an invitation. It’s from the Wen Family, inviting Shinian to attend the child’s 5th birthday party. I don’t know if he’ll go, so I wanted to ask you to pass on the message, and let me know the decision."

Song Yi looked at Fu Shinian and saw that his face was beyond the description of ’sour’ or ’dark’. No words seemed sufficient to express Fu Shinian’s anger at the moment, nor Song Yi’s internal fear. Seeing that Fu Shinian didn’t intend to speak, Song Yi swallowed again:

"Alright, madam, I understand. I’ll pass the message to Mr. Fu."

Su Mu gently acknowledged:

"Thank you for your trouble."

With that, she hung up the phone. Song Yi, looking at the phone that had gone dark, felt like sparks were crackling in the air. He tried to make himself as inconspicuous as possible, wishing he could vanish in a puff of smoke, but in the vast office with only him and Fu Shinian, it was impossible for Fu Shinian not to notice him unless he were blind.

No, even if Fu Shinian were blind, he would still notice him.

Song Yi didn’t immediately inquire whether Fu Shinian would attend the birthday party, thinking it would be like adding fuel to the fire, so he chose a safer question:

"Mr. Fu, the project team is waiting for this document. May I...?"

Fu Shinian coolly lifted his gaze to look at him, then put down his signing pen and leaned back comfortably in his chair. In that moment, the only thought in Song Yi’s mind was: doomed!

"You seem to get along quite well with my wife?"

Song Yi was on the verge of kneeling, clarifying desperately:

"No, Mr. Fu, I don’t know why Mrs. Fu would call me. This is the first time, maybe your phone couldn’t get through?"

"Is that so?" Fu Shinian chuckled: "Why don’t you try calling now?"

"Mr. Fu..."

Fu Shinian fell silent for a moment, not making Song Yi actually place the call, because he knew what the outcome would be. It could never be that the call wouldn’t connect; the real reason was simply that Su Mu didn’t want to talk to him.

How many days had it been? Fu Shinian wanted to recall the time but found the number 13 almost instantly popping up in his mind. In that moment, he suddenly realized that he was more concerned about the cold war with Su Mu than he had thought. There had been arguments before, but this time, it felt exceptionally agonizing.

It had to be said, Su Mu’s temper had really grown fiercer.

Composing himself, Fu Shinian continued to sign the document and then handed it to Song Yi:

"Take this to the project team."

Song Yi almost couldn’t believe his eyes and ears, but he still took the document quickly and turned to leave at once, only to be stopped by Fu Shinian just as he took his first step:

"Why are you in such a hurry? Am I going to devour you?"

Song Yi shook his head: "No, it’s just that the document is quite urgent."

Fu Shinian couldn’t be bothered to expose his lie, and said indifferently:

"Later, when you call her back, tell her I will attend the party, but I have a female companion. Tell her to drop the idea of attending with me."

Song Yi: Should I tell Mr. Fu that I didn’t hear a hint of anticipation from Mrs. Fu’s voice for his presence, but rather the opposite?

----

Having received Song Yi’s call, Su Mu was surprised and asked:

"Are you sure you heard ’will attend’ as the answer?"

Song Yi complained: "Mrs. Fu, if you don’t trust what I say, why don’t you call Mr. Fu yourself? Why should I act as a go-between for such a simple issue? Although I’m paid a high salary by Fu Corporation, I still contribute to my own social insurance bundle. You can’t test my heart just because you contribute to my insurance."

Su Mu: "...what are you talking about?"

"Mrs. Fu, you’ve had fights with Mr. Fu before. Why can’t you just make up like you did in the past? I can tell that Mr. Fu has been waiting for your call."

Su Mu didn’t believe what Song Yi said, but she didn’t comment further, just giving a faint smile:

"I can’t always be the one to call him."

Song Yi: Are you guys trying to send me to my grave?
