Chapter 311: Chapter 311: Mutual Benefit

As the days passed by, Xu Yansu still hadn’t found the right opportunity to discuss the virus removal for the elderly lady with Shi Lihua. She could handle the entire process by herself, but it was incredibly difficult to proceed without alerting Shi Lihua.

However, with only a week left before the wedding photo shoot, if she couldn’t manage to remove the virus after the shoot, Fu Shinian would definitely back out.

Xu Yansu was very anxious, but felt utterly powerless. She wanted to have a serious talk with Shi Lihua, perhaps she would agree. Yet before Xu Yansu could approach Shi Lihua, Shi Lihua sought her out first, and her purpose was surprisingly unexpected, even giving Xu Yansu the sense that she knew something and was testing her.

Xu Yansu looked at her:

"Auntie Hua, what did you just say?"

"Didn’t you hear me? I said, let’s remove the virus from the old lady as soon as possible. You arrange it, the sooner the better."

"Why?"

"No reason, I just have something in the old lady’s possession that I thought I would never use again, but now it has regained its value, so she must wake up."

Xu Yansu didn’t respond immediately, which made Shi Lihua slightly puzzled:

"Unwilling?"

Xu Yansu shook her head slightly: "No, I’m just thinking..."

"Thinking about how to use this opportunity to gain some favor in front of Fu Shinian?" Shi Lihua said with a hint of sarcasm: "When you said you fell for Fu Shinian before, I thought you were joking, but now I’m more convinced that you really have feelings for him."

"I’ve been serious from the beginning, it’s just that you didn’t believe me."

"But Yansu, think carefully, Fu Shinian won’t live long, and don’t think about removing the virus yourself. If you do that, I will make your life a living hell. My greatest wish in life is to bring down the Fu family and ensure Fu Shinian dies miserably. No one can stop me."

Xu Yansu frowned slightly:

"He is your son."

"So what? Aside from our blood relation, we have no emotional ties, and even the blood relation was not my choice. If I had had a choice back then, do you think I would have chosen to have him?"

"I don’t understand. You take care of Yu Qingzhou, your adopted son, with all your heart, giving him the very best of everything. Why are you so cruel to your own biological son?"

Xu Yansu’s words seemed to have stirred up Shi Lihua’s uncomfortable past memories, beginning to upset her. She stood up and walked to the window, visibly trying to suppress her emotions. Understanding her, Xu Yansu didn’t dare to continue. After a long while, Shi Lihua’s mood seemed to have mildly improved, and she turned to look at Xu Yansu:

"I’m entrusting this task to you to fulfill one of your wishes. I don’t care what you hope to gain from Fu Shinian by removing the virus, I won’t intervene, as this might be your last opportunity. Once I get what I want, it will be time for Fu Shinian’s life to end. Then we don’t need to waste our time here anymore and can return to our own place."

Xu Yansu didn’t try to argue any further, she merely nodded:

"I understand."

"Don’t try to play tricks behind my back; you’re fully aware of what I’m capable of."

"I know."

"That’s for the best."

After Shi Lihua left, Xu Yansu remained silent for a long while before she went to find Fu Shinian. Fu Shinian showed no surprise at her arrival, just looked at her:

"What did Shi Lihua want from you?"

"Nothing much, she just agreed to remove the virus from the old lady’s body and came to tell me in person."

"She agreed?" Fu Shinian raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is she out of her mind?"

Xu Yansu smiled slightly:

"To put it bluntly, even if the virus is removed from the old lady’s body, she might not have much time left to enjoy her life. Continuing to control it wouldn’t serve much purpose either. It’s better to use the act of removing the virus as a bargaining chip to gain some benefits from you for me. Shi Lihua agreeing to this will make me grateful to her and also allow me to get what I want. It’s a win-win situation, why would she not agree?"

Fu Shinian said nothing, but the look he gave Xu Yansu was full of loathing and hatred.

He could not help but hate her, and Xu Yansu was well aware of it.

She knew that falling in love with Fu Shinian was a fruitless endeavor; there’s no such thing as foresight in this world. If Xu Yansu had known earlier that she would fall for Fu Shinian, she would have never planted such a virus inside him, never setting them against each other in such a stark contrast.

With a misguided beginning to their relationship, the process was bound to be arduous. As for the outcome, Xu Yansu did not want to think about that now. She tried her best, she fought for it, and she tried every means. If the result still turned out unsatisfactory, it seemed she would have to accept this path.

"You don’t need to look at me with such eyes. I’m telling the truth." Xu Yansu sat down opposite Fu Shinian, "I will fulfill what I promised you. Shouldn’t you also show your sincerity?"

"I will announce our engagement to the public soon."

"When?"

Fu Shinian simply said, "The 7th."

Xu Yansu had no objections, "I’ll wait for you."

——

On the evening of the 6th, Wei Shaoqin picked up Su Mu and the little Su Yimo at the high-speed rail station. He happily held Su Yimo in his arms, "Tell me, did you miss Daddy?"

Su Yimo hummed softly, turned her head away, and ignored him. Wei Shaoqin did not know what he had done wrong to offend the little princess. No matter how he asked, Su Yimo kept her lips sealed and did not speak. Helpless, Wei Shaoqin had to ask Su Mu. Su Mu just smiled faintly at Su Yimo and mouthed to him, "We’ll talk later."

Wei Shaoqin understood that some things should not be discussed in front of Su Yimo, considering the child’s feelings. He nodded, placed her in the back seat, and pinched her nose a bit petulantly:

"Tomorrow is your birthday. Treating Daddy like this means no gifts."

However, Su Yimo remained utterly unmoved and continued her silence. Wei Shaoqin gave her a thumbs up, "That’s the spirit."

It was summer vacation, and Wen Shaoyuan had been waiting at home for Su Yimo. As soon as Su Yimo got home, she immediately hit it off with Wen Shaoyuan. Wei Shaoqin helped Su Mu with the luggage and seeing she brought a large suitcase, he couldn’t help but smile:

"Planning to stay a few extra days?"

Su Mu nodded:

"There’s a shoot in Shen City on the 9th, so I’ll probably stay a few extra days."

"Will you get some rest afterward?"

"No, after the shoot in Shen City, I have to go to Italy."
