Chapter 206: Chapter 206: Sins Abound

Su Mu was not sure whether he had been unfaithful, but there was no mistaking the transparent relationship between her and Wen Han, something Fu Shinian had witnessed with his own eyes and Su Mu had admitted herself.

In fact, why bother Ji Nanfeng with investigating the ins and outs of the matter? The moment Song Zhengxian became involved, although Fu Shinian did not participate throughout, he guessed most of it correctly.

If his conjecture was correct, Song Zhengxian was the cause because he was short of money and needed Qin Nianwan’s resources in Shen City to achieve his goal. However, Fu Shinian had cut off Qin Nianwan’s financial means, and since she had not asked him for money, for Song Zhengxian’s sake she had no choice but to look for another way out. Su Mu was probably the prey she had her eyes on.

Wei Shaoqin’s part in all this could not be ignored either. Fu Shinian felt that if it had not been for the videos Wei Shaoqin had made of Qin Nianwan, she might not have resorted to such methods to deal with Su Mu.

Unaware that Fu Shinian had a thorough understanding of her relationship with Song Zhengxian, Qin Nianwan went to the trouble of running to Jiangcheng City to find the most ordinary person in the world, sent an anonymous email, and then had Song Zhengxian come forward to collect the ransom.

In Qin Nianwan’s eyes, this incident might have been just an eye for an eye, killing two birds with one stone, and she remained squeaky clean—a clever tactic, but one that was so clumsy, it was easily seen through.

Ji Nanfeng had no clue what Fu Shinian was thinking, nor did he know about the many people involved or that Fu Shinian had uncovered the truth about the accident from years ago, that Wen Han was the one who had saved Su Mu’s life. He just felt that Su Mu could not be someone who would betray Fu Shinian:

"Could there be some misunderstanding here?"

Fu Shinian scoffed lightly and said nothing.

"So what do you plan to do? Divorce?"

Ji Nanfeng knew Fu Shinian well—he had zero tolerance for betrayal in marriage. However, given that it was Su Mu involved, Ji Nanfeng was somewhat uncertain. He wasn’t sure if Fu Shinian intended to let go because Su Mu seemed to be someone special to him.

But if there’s no divorce, even Ji Nanfeng could foresee how difficult the road ahead would be for them.

Fu Shinian remained silent throughout, as if he was unwilling to mention the matter that soured his heart.

Su Mu and Jiang Bei had a heart-to-heart talk in the living room after dinner. Su Mu shared all her worries with Jiang Bei, who reacted as if he’d heard a humorous joke from Su Mu:

"No way? You think Rong Shen is interested in me? Please, we’ve only officially met for the first time today, right? Why would he be interested in a woman who came to argue with him?"

"His gaze when he looked at you wasn’t wrong."

But Jiang Bei didn’t believe it:

"Since when have you become so accurate at reading people? Judging by your selection of Fu Shinian as a husband, your vision is pretty bad. I have every reason not to believe anything you say."

With the mention of Fu Shinian, Su Mu quieted down. She had been on tenterhooks the entire afternoon over Jiang Bei’s matter and had not spared a thought for her own situation with Fu Shinian. It suddenly seemed like a distant affair now, so remote that she might never touch it again.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Jiang Bei noticed that something was off with Su Mu.

Su Mu shook her head:

"It’s nothing, I was just thinking about your situation. I mean, if, if Rong Shen really does have feelings for you, what would you plan to do?"

"Me and him?" Jiang Bei laughed: "Absolutely not possible, I would, of course, reject him."

They were originally people from two different worlds, and it was merely destiny playing a joke on them, allowing their paths to briefly cross. But after this fleeting intersection, each of them would continue on in their respective worlds, like two lines that briefly meet and then diverge.

He couldn’t change his course, and Jiang Bei couldn’t upend his world.

"Then... what about Qiao Yu?"

Jiang Bei looked at Su Mu with suspicion: "What’s with you today? Don’t tell me after Qiao Yu, you’re going to bring up Ji Nanfeng next?"

Su Mu smiled faintly:

"Let’s not talk about Ji Nanfeng."

"What’s there to talk about when it comes to Qiao Yu?"

"So, do you think your relationship with Qiao Yu has gotten so good that he would go ask his own father for you?"

Jiang Bei was rendered speechless, wanting to say something but finding that her words had no foundation. Strictly speaking, her relationship with Qiao Yu was not even as good as the one between Qiao Yu and Su Mu. Logically, he shouldn’t have behaved that way, yet the fact was, he had indeed done so.

Jiang Bei’s look at Su Mu revealed her distress and dilemma:

"You think so?"

Su Mu also found it unbelievable. After all, Qiao Yu and Ji Nanfeng’s relationship was just like that of real brothers, but under such a connection, both of them had fallen for the same woman.

"What do you plan to do?"

"What do ’I’ plan to do?" Jiang Bei jumped up from the couch excitedly, "Of course, reject it! Keep my distance! Try not to ever meet again in the future! I don’t have that much time and energy to deal with these troublesome matters. I might as well spend that effort seeing more patients."

Su Mu watched her behavior and couldn’t help laughing:

"Have you never thought about accepting one of them? I think you and Qiao Yu are quite suitable."

Jiang Bei couldn’t help but roll her eyes:

"Susu, my wish is to be a doctor who saves lives and helps the injured, not some femme fatale. Maybe some women would feel proud to have two men like them at the same time, but for me, aside from annoyance, I don’t have any other feelings. It’s because I turned two friends against each other, I only feel a deep sense of guilt."

Jiang Bei’s demeanor was far from joking, and Su Mu said blandly:

"What a pity."

"What’s pitiful about it? This is clearly wisdom, okay?" Jiang Bei felt she handled it well, "There’s no woman living more sensibly than me."

Yes, Jiang Bei was not wrong; that clarity and insight were what Su Mu couldn’t envy.

Before going to sleep, Su Mu went to take a shower, and Jiang Bei suddenly called out to her:

"When is Fu Shinian coming back?"

Su Mu’s footsteps halted, and she looked at Jiang Bei:

"Why do you ask?"

"Just wondering. I think he should be coming back soon, right? So I want to go back to my own place. Now that Rong Shen’s issue is resolved, all the alarms around me should be lifted too. I can’t always rely on your hospitality. Otherwise, it won’t be convenient when Fu Shinian gets back."

"Your wounds haven’t healed completely, and there will be no one to take care of you if you go back. Isn’t it better to continue staying here?"

Jiang Bei smiled:

"Of course, I know staying here is very convenient for me, but aren’t I worried about you being inconvenienced? What if Fu Shinian can only stay in the old house when he comes back? That wouldn’t be nice."

Jiang Bei did not know that everything she had said had actually already happened. She also did not know that her staying here was just an excuse for Fu Shinian not to come back, not the real reason. Su Mu wanted to retain her but feared that continuing might sow seeds of doubt in Jiang Bei, so she merely smiled:

"If you’ve decided, that’s fine."
