Chapter 338: Chapter 338: There is a kind of love, called letting go

Xu Yansu stood outside the room where Su Mu was being held for a long time after walking out, peering through the cold glass window and seeing that Su Mu had already fallen into a deep sleep. She couldn’t help but recall the days when she had done the same for Fu Shinian, watching him quietly just like now.

What was different was that back then, she did it as if completing a task, but now, she found herself with extremely complex emotions.

With a slight sigh, she walked towards the room where Shi Lihua was. As she stepped in, she casually threw the empty syringe into the trash can beside her. Seeing her action, Shi Lihua gave a faint smile:

"Finished?"

In fact, she had been sitting in this room with the computer screen showing the surveillance footage of Su Mu’s room. Shi Lihua saw every move clearly and didn’t need to ask, but Xu Yansu still answered, indifferently:

"How difficult can it be? She’s tied up and can’t resist, even if she doesn’t want to, she can only accept her fate, right?"

Shi Lihua nodded:

"I’ve already sent the surveillance video to Fu Shinian. I believe there will be a response soon."

Xu Yansu showed no special expression and responded lightly:

"I hope you get what you want, so we can go back sooner."

"Go back? Don’t you want to marry Fu Shinian?"

Xu Yansu chuckled:

"Even if I do wish for it, what does it matter? He doesn’t love me at all. The marriage was a sham, and we never even took a single wedding photo together. It was all just for the virus inside the old lady, and he completely disregards his own life. A man who’s going to die soon—I can at best be by his side until the very end. But he probably doesn’t want to see my face. Rather than mutual disgust, it’s better to let go now."

"Really?"

Shi Lihua’s disbelief was within Xu Yansu’s expectations, but she had nothing to defend herself with and just smiled, standing up:

"I’ll go get something to eat."

Shi Lihua did not stop her.

Fu Shinian was on a plane and couldn’t see the email Shi Lihua had sent him.

Shi Lihua thought someone might find their way here because of Su Mu’s disappearance. She wasn’t afraid of anyone, since no one dared to confront her because of the virus inside Su Mu, which was her trump card. What Shi Lihua did not expect was that the first to come looking for her would be Fu Shiyue.

When Fu Shiyue appeared at the research institute, Shi Lihua was slightly surprised. She did not have the same cold hatred for this daughter as she had for Fu Shinian; on the contrary, she was rather fond of her. If it weren’t for the old lady keeping a tight watch on Shiyue back then, perhaps she would have taken her away too.

"Yueyue, how did you come back?"

Fu Shiyue had been sent abroad by Fu Shinian when Shi Lihua returned years ago, and she only returned occasionally within the three years. Shi Lihua had not objected to Fu Shinian’s arrangements because she felt that Shiyue should not be involved in such disputes, that it was better for her to wait quietly abroad for Shi Lihua.

Although relations with her were cold and distant, Shi Lihua had ways to mend them once everything was settled. She just hadn’t expected Shiyue to come back at this time and find the laboratory directly, which caught Shi Lihua off guard.

Fu Shiyue stood at the doorway, looking at Shi Lihua:

"Where’s my brother?"

Whenever Shi Lihua heard Fu Shinian’s name, her expression soured, but facing Su Shiyue, she still forced a smile:

"I’ve been looking for him too, but can’t find him."

"Didn’t you say he was close to death? Where is he?" Su Shiyue looked at her piercingly, "What have you done to him? Isn’t the entire Fu Corporation enough for you? What more do you want to do?"

The smile on Shi Lihua’s face faded bit by bit as she looked at Su Shiyue for a few seconds:

"That’s not the way you should talk to your mommy."

"What about you then? Have you fulfilled the obligations and responsibilities that a mother should have? You didn’t come back for over a decade, and now that you’re back, you expect me to love and cherish you, why should I? Before you came back, the Fu family was doing well, my brother was fine, and grandma was fine too. But look at everything now, what has it become? Grandma is delirious, my brother is dying, and the Fu Corporation has been gutted by you. What the hell do you still want to do? Why couldn’t you just die cleanly out there!"

"Yueyue!" Shi Lihua’s voice was cold, "I am your mother, you can’t talk to me like that."

"I don’t have a mother. From childhood, it was grandma who raised me, and it was my brother who took care of me. To me, you are nothing."

"You..."

Su Shiyue interrupted her. She didn’t even want to see her. If it hadn’t been for Fu Shinian, she wouldn’t have come back, she wouldn’t be standing in front of her, but now she had no choice but to look for her:

"I don’t have time to listen to these useless things from you. I just want to know, where is my brother? I want to see him."

Watching Su Shiyue’s demeanor, Shi Lihua felt an urge to blurt out everything, but her rationality told her not to, it wasn’t the time yet, so she could only suppress the anger in her heart and said softly:

"I don’t know where he is. Your grandmother has also been hidden by him. I held the press conference just to get him to show up, but he still hasn’t appeared. However, he should be back soon since I talked to him on the phone not long ago. If you want to see him, you might as well wait here with me."

Su Shiyue looked at her skeptically:

"Really?"

"Why would I lie to you? Since you also don’t know where to find Fu Shinian, you might as well wait here. It won’t be too late to look for him if he doesn’t show up."

After thinking quietly for a few seconds, Su Shiyue sat down on the chair next to her, Shi Lihua smiled upon seeing this:

"You sit first, I’ll get you something to drink."

Su Shiyue wanted to decline, but the words never made it out of her mouth as ultimately she just didn’t want to stay in the same room with Shi Lihua.

Not long after Shi Lihua had left, Su Shiyue got up and strolled around the room out of boredom. At first, she didn’t pay much attention to the computer screen, but when she looked at it again, she was certain she saw Su Mu.

She is here?

Su Shiyue couldn’t afford to think any further as she quickly walked towards the room where Su Mu was.

Three years ago, unaware of everything, Su Shiyue was told that Su Mu had betrayed Fu Shinian and even got pregnant with another man’s child. At that time, Su Shiyue felt the most guilt toward Su Mu and was eager to please her. She couldn’t believe the news she received. She had once despised Su Mu as much as she believed in her then; if Su Mu didn’t love Fu Shinian, she never would have endured silently for two years in such circumstances.

Late, Fu Shinian instructed her never to mention Su Mu’s name to anyone, and if asked, simply to say her sister-in-law was Meng Lan. Back then, Su Shiyue didn’t understand, but she gradually came to realize that some protections often mean pushing away.

Just as he had sent her overseas for the same reason.
