Chapter 210: Chapter 210 A Sympathetic Story

Fu Shinian remained silent for a few seconds before turning his chair to look at Song Yi, his eyebrows and eyes full of incredulity, causing him to doubt the news Song Yi brought:

"Are you sure?"

"The people with your wife have just sent word that she has boarded the plane."

Fu Shinian stood up and walked towards the floor-to-ceiling windows. With half a month left until the Spring Festival, some were already beginning to celebrate. Fireworks burst forth one after another in the night sky over Shen City, and Fu Shinian watched quietly:

"What is she doing in Portugal?"

"It seems she is going there to find someone." Song Yi looked up at Fu Shinian, "Although the specific details of the previous incident haven’t been completely cleared up, we still found a key figure in the Wen Family, the young master’s grandmother Chen Huifang. She arrived before the incident and left afterward. Moreover, she withdrew a large amount of cash from the bank before she left, and she is now in Portugal."

"So, does this Chen Huifang have a connection with Qin Nianwan?"

"People from Qin Nianwan’s side say that apart from attending some necessary events, she hardly went out these days. Occasionally, when Chen Jie wasn’t watching closely, she would go out drinking once. She did go to the airport once, the date coinciding with the day Chen Huifang left Shen City."

Just like Wen Han had always thought that only his side had issues, Fu Shinian also thought the other party was here only for Su Mu, but it turned out to be killing two birds with one stone.

Falling silent for a few seconds, Fu Shinian slowly began speaking:

"If I remember correctly, tomorrow is the day of Song Zhengxian’s bidding, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Fu, rest assured, everything has been arranged for Song Zhengxian. There will be no other outcome than him losing both money and face."

That evening, Ji Nanfeng and Qiao Yu had asked Fu Shinian to join them for drinks at Juese. By the time he arrived at the bar, Qiao Yu and Ji Nanfeng were already there, drinking boldly one glass after another. The table was cluttered with empty bottles. Fu Shinian seated himself and looked at them:

"What’s this? Deciding who has the right to pursue a woman by drinking?"

Qiao Yu turned his head and gave him a glance:

"Who gave you the right to mock others here, is it courage? Is it confidence? Have you even handled your own mess before meddling in ours?"

Fu Shinian: "..."

This was the first time Qiao Yu had ever hit back at Fu Shinian, and he was completely powerless to retaliate. Ji Nanfeng burst into laughter, nearly in tears as he lay back on the couch. Fu Shinian looked at him as if watching an idiot and finally didn’t say a word, probably too lazy to bother with them.

He poured himself a drink nonchalantly and sipped slowly. Seeing him like this, perhaps triggered by a parental instinct, Qiao Yu couldn’t help but ask:

"I never asked, but what exactly are you planning to do?"

Fu Shinian frowned slightly, clearly reluctant to talk about the topic, and Ji Nanfeng seeing his expression, couldn’t help but laugh:

"No way? It’s been so long, when did you become so hesitant? Is it because the issue itself is hard to resolve, or is it because it involves Su Mu?"

Qiao Yu then spoke:

"I heard about it from Ji Nanfeng’s mouth, I don’t know many details, but I don’t believe that something really happened between Su Mu and Wen Han."

Fu Shinian traced the rim of his glass, remaining silent.

"The reason is simple. Neither Wen Han nor Su Mu are those kinds of people; even if something did happen, given Su Mu’s personality, she would have probably taken the initiative to tell you and proposed a divorce by now, right? She didn’t say anything, which must mean nothing happened. Besides..." Qiao Yu looked at Fu Shinian, "I think at this moment, you and Su Mu are finally on equal footing."

Ji Nanfeng listened, baffled:

"What do you mean? What do you mean by ’fair’? Are you saying it hasn’t been fair all along?"

Qiao Yu glanced at him with disdain:

"Just drink your drink."

Ji Nanfeng: "..."

Ji Nanfeng didn’t understand what Qiao Yu meant by that, but Fu Shinian did. After all, the fact that Wen Han was Su Mu’s lifesaver, Fu Shinian had only told Qiao Yu.

"At first, you misunderstood Su Mu and Su Mu? She also misjudged a person, which led to your wrong marriage. Over the past two years, there’s no need for me to spell out how you treated Su Mu. You cared about marital loyalty, while Su Mu cared about affection. She hurt you, and you hurt her. Now, both of you are on the same starting line, with neither owing the other anything."

This was what Qiao Yu meant by ’fair’. Fu Shinian heard this and agreed; he looked at Qiao Yu and smiled slightly:

"That’s a quite unique perspective."

Qiao Yu nodded proudly:

"Perhaps it’s because I’m an observer, so I can be more rational about things. Faced with such a situation, even if you tell yourself to stay calm, people are emotional beings and inevitably, some things might be clouded by anger. What I just said isn’t meant for you to make any decisions, but I can see that you don’t want to give up on this marriage, not because of grandma, but because you already have feelings for Su Mu."

"Actually, whether I say it or not, I think neither you nor Su Mu would divorce. Saying it is just so you can let go of yourself and Su Mu sooner; continuing this cold war is bad for both of you."

Fu Shinian remained silent without speaking, while Ji Nanfeng felt quite unhappy about being ignored:

"Do you even consider me a brother?"

Qiao Yu, feeling helpless, briefly explained to Ji Nanfeng about what had happened seven years ago. Ji Nanfeng was surprised, as the story completely overturned his impression of Su Mu, and he couldn’t help but exclaim:

"That is truly a story that evokes my sympathy."

Qiao Yu and Fu Shinian tacitly ignored Ji Nanfeng, who did not say anything more and fell silent, unaware of what he was thinking, until Qiao Yu and Fu Shinian had already started discussing the next topic. He then suddenly stood up from his seat, slapped his thigh hard:

"I’ve just remembered."

Watching Ji Nanfeng like this, Qiao Yu really didn’t want to admit that he was his friend, helplessly asking, "What did you remember?"

"Why Su Mu mistook Shinian as her lifesaver."

Fu Shinian raised his eyes to look at him; he had not yet figured out that question.

"Back in August seven years ago, wasn’t Grandfather Fu critically ill in the hospital? Do you guys still remember that grandma had sponsored many students and an orphanage to gather blessings for grandfather?"

Qiao Yu nodded:

"I remember, we all went personally. What does this have to do with Su Mu?"

"Of course, it does. That day seemed to be the second time Grandfather Fu was given a critical condition notice. After Shinian took grandma home, he met a little girl in the hospital corridor..."

Qiao Yu seemed to have remembered too: "Is it that girl who was unconscious from a car accident, needed surgery, but couldn’t contact her parents or pay for the surgery?"

"Right." Ji Nanfeng turned to Fu Shinian: "Do you remember what you did then? You acted as the family member, advanced the medical fees, and signed the surgery consent form."
