Chapter 165: Chapter 165: Don’t You Want to Take It for Yourself?

Fu Shinian hung up the phone, turned it off, and put it back on the nightstand. Su Mu watched his series of movements with a cold gaze and lightly chuckled:

"Fu Shinian, aren’t you being childish?"

Hearing her voice, Fu Shinian, who was walking toward the sofa, turned his head back and slightly smiled:

"This kind of trickery is indeed quite juvenile. Is that beneath you? Would you like me to get serious?"

"If you’re not afraid of waking grandma up, you can try," she said.

Fu Shinian let out a soft laugh without saying anything more, turned off the lights, and lay down on the sofa. In the darkness, Su Mu could only see his vague silhouette, but with his posture, it was clear he wouldn’t do anything to her today.

Perhaps it was because Fu Shinian was nearby, but Su Mu still felt pressured and, tossing and turning, couldn’t fall asleep at all. Her noises were just loud enough to affect Fu Shinian, but he merely opened his eyes to glance at the person on the bed and didn’t say anything.

In fact, he wasn’t sleepy either. His mind was still occupied with what Su Mu had told him at noon.

"Are you asleep?" Su Mu suddenly spoke, interrupting Fu Shinian’s thoughts. He opened his eyes and looked in Su Mu’s direction, his tone indifferent, "I am."

Su Mu: "..."

"You saw today, Ji Nanfeng’s feelings for Xiaobei. You know better than I what kind of person he is, and I don’t want him to hurt Xiaobei."

Fu Shinian chuckled lightly:

"So you’re suggesting that I talk to Ji Nanfeng and ask him to stop pursuing Jiang Bei?"

"He won’t take Jiang Bei seriously."

"You are not Ji Nanfeng. How would you know?"

Su Mu sat up from the bed:

"You’ve known him for so long, have you ever seen any woman last more than a month by his side? He’s just playing around. Jiang Bei just happened to catch his eye, piquing his interest. His current fascination is only because of Jiang Bei’s rejection, which has triggered his desire to conquer. But once he gets her, he will definitely not cherish her."

"By your logic, there’s no need to involve me. You could’ve just told Jiang Bei not to accept him, right?"

"Of course Xiaobei would never accept him."

Fu Shinian smiled, "Then what are you worried about?"

"Ji Nanfeng’s tactics," Su Mu said indifferently. "I’m afraid if Xiaobei keeps rejecting him like this, one day she’ll completely infuriate him. I also fear he might use means to make Xiaobei submit. You know, Ji Nanfeng wouldn’t care about these things."

Fu Shinian went silent for a few seconds, clearly aware that these concerns might one day become reality.

"Su Mu," Fu Shinian began, "no matter what, Ji Nanfeng is also my friend. Isn’t it a bit inappropriate for you to talk about him like this?"

——

Meanwhile, Jiang Bei—who had swapped shifts with a colleague and didn’t have to go on duty—spent a good while persuading Wei Shaoqin, just managing to calm him down and prevent him from charging to the old house to confront Su Mu.

Jiang Bei saw him still huffing and threw a peanut into her mouth:

"Even if Su Mu and Fu Shinian have their issues, they are still a married couple in the eyes of the law. Can you have some self-awareness and assess your own status? You’re a man, and what about Fu Shinian? He is an extremely chauvinistic one. You think he won’t overthink it when you call Su Mu at this hour? Even if there was nothing going on between them, your call might just provoke something."

Wei Shaoqin seemed to take Jiang Bei’s words to heart, reflecting silently in his seat for a long time without a single word. Finally, he got up from his seat and walked toward the door, leaving Jiang Bei speechless:

"You’re not still planning to go, are you? After all I’ve told you, am I talking to a brick wall?"

"I need to pee, going to the bathroom!"

Wei Shaoqin was ready to head back to the private room he shared with Jiang Bei after coming out of the restroom, but before he could take a step, he saw a woman stumbling towards him. She bumped into him without uttering a single apology and immediately bent over the sink to throw up.

The acrid smell hit him, and Wei Shaoqin originally wanted to leave quickly, but as he turned his head, he caught a glimpse of the woman’s profile—it was Qin Nianwan.

Wei Shaoqin couldn’t help laughing.

When Qin Nianwan felt a bit better in her stomach, she straightened up, but as she lifted her head, she saw Wei Shaoqin in the mirror behind her, staring at her without blinking. She froze on the spot.

Wei Shaoqin smiled lightly:

"Long time no see, Miss Qin."

Qin Nianwan hadn’t expected to encounter an acquaintance at this time and place, but now that she had, she couldn’t pretend not to recognize him. After fixing her makeup, she turned around to face Wei Shaoqin:

"What is Wei Shao doing here?"

"I’m here to drink and dine, what else?" Wei Shaoqin looked at Qin Nianwan and smiled faintly, "You can’t possibly be here to accompany someone for drinks like Miss Qin, can you?"

Qin Nianwan looked up sharply.

"What? Did I get it wrong? But I’m quite curious, aren’t you backed by Fu Corporation? With such a big sponsor as Fu Shinian, how could you stoop to accompanying others for drinks? Those men inside are not easy to deal with, right?"

"It’s not your place to meddle in my affairs, is it?"

"Of course not, I’m not someone who wants to meddle in everyone’s business." Wei Shaoqin feigned innocence. "I’m just greeting an acquaintance, that’s all."

"Now that the greetings are done, can I go now?"

As Qin Nianwan tried to pass by Wei Shaoqin to leave, he stretched out his arm to stop her. He looked at her from the side and spoke indifferently:

"You came here to earn money by accompanying people for drinks, so you must know and understand your own status. Since you know that, you should behave properly and avoid doing things you shouldn’t, and there’s no need to contemplate things you shouldn’t."

His words were cryptic, but how could Qin Nianwan not understand? She huffed lightly and looked up at Wei Shaoqin:

"Is Wei Shao speaking on behalf of Su Mu?"

Wei Shaoqin looked at Qin Nianwan without saying a word.

"If I’m not mistaken, Wei Shao must be very fond of Su Mu, otherwise, you wouldn’t be standing here talking about this. But Wei Shao, you told me to know my own place, what about you? Do you know your own status and what Su Mu’s status is?"

"What does my status have to do with you? You just need to know that the position of Mrs. Fu belongs to Su Mu and has absolutely nothing to do with people like you."

The fact that Su Mu was Mrs. Fu wasn’t widely known, but Qin Nianwan wasn’t surprised that Wei Shaoqin knew; after all, she believed that there was more to Su Mu and Wei Shaoqin’s relationship. Qin Nianwan laughed softly:

"Wei Shao likes Su Mu so much, have you never thought of having her for yourself? Watching her belong to another man must not sit well with you, Wei Shao, right?"

Wei Shaoqin smiled slightly:

"You mean to say, you want to work with me, so we can help each other succeed?"
