Chapter 383: Chapter 383: Between You and Me, Choose One Out of Seventy-Seven

After a silence, Fu Shinian spoke:

"I guess no matter how I explain it now, you won’t believe me."

"How am I supposed to believe you? Dare you say that the kidney inside Grandma isn’t from my father? Dare you say that the 20 million my father transferred to my mother didn’t come from you? Or do you want to deny that you never considered me as a potential kidney source from the get-go? Just deny it, and I’ll apologize and say I misunderstood you. How about that?"

Fu Shinian didn’t speak, and after Su Mu quietly waited for a while, she laughed at herself:

"I really don’t know whether I should praise you for being honest or curse you for being utterly cruel."

"I admit everything you’ve said, about your father, about my initial feelings for you. I don’t deny it, it did exist. But existence doesn’t mean it persisted. If I could do it all over, I definitely wouldn’t keep you by my side like this, Su Mu." Fu Shinian looked at Su Mu: "Whether you believe it or not, apart from the momentary thought of divorce when I first met your father, I never considered it again, neither about Grandma nor as a kidney source."

"But what about the end? We still separated. The only thing I’m grateful for now is that our marriage only lasted two years. I didn’t waste more time on you. That’s probably the only mercy fate has shown me."

"Divorcing you was also a last resort for me."

Su Mu smiled faintly:

"Yes, a last resort. But there were many things you could have spoken up about, many things you could have informed me in advance, instead of making me accept everything in confusion. Maybe you thought that was the only way to make me give up, to let me leave in peace. But Fu Shinian, did you ever think about what I would feel after the divorce, how much effort it took me to recover from a state of extreme self-denial?"

"Everyone is treated like a princess by their parents. I too was once carefree and confident about my future, full of anticipation, even if you didn’t like me. Even if our two years of marriage had already dulled my edges, I’ve never felt so unconfident as I did after the divorce. Rejected, hurt, calculated against, misunderstood... I really want to ask, what sins did I commit in a past life to meet someone like you in this one?"

Su Mu’s words suddenly gave Fu Shinian a premonition. He looked at her for a few seconds and spoke softly:

"You’ve learned about what happened three years ago?"

"Shouldn’t I know?" Su Mu snorted: "You did something you considered so great. Even if it wasn’t you who told me, someone had to say it in front of me. Otherwise, wouldn’t your grand gesture have been for nothing? When you planned all this, did you smugly think that one day I would deeply regret leaving you, understand all your painstaking efforts, and even see your actions as glorious?"

"I never thought like that."

Su Mu chuckled:

"Then at least you have some self-awareness. After all, I never felt you did any of it for me. Everything you did was just your own presumption, casting yourself as a super hero bearing humiliation. Now that it’s all settled, you must feel a sense of accomplishment, right? But do you want to know how I feel? I think you’re no different from a deserter."

Fu Shinian had called Su Mu out originally to talk about Wen Han and Qiqi. He hadn’t intended to engage in a lengthy discussion with her, but she was now speaking non-stop, with barely a chance for him to interject. Nevertheless, Fu Shinian could sense the indignation in Su Mu’s heart. It was probably Qiao Yu who had mentioned the incident from three years ago, triggering all her calm emotions.

But to listen to her complain so, to be so confrontational, Fu Shinian too felt aggrieved; yet, thinking about what Su Mu had endured over these three years, he didn’t feel it was unjustified.

Su Mu stopped speaking, and Fu Shinian quietly waited a few seconds without hearing her continue then couldn’t help but smile:

"Finished?"

"I’m done, I’m leaving."

Fu Shinian quickly grabbed her arm: "You may be done, but I have yet to speak."

Su Mu glanced down at his hand and pulled away:

"I don’t want to hear it at all. Mr. Fu, could you please respect my ears?"

"I’m afraid that won’t be possible."

Su Mu laughed lightly and didn’t say anything more but also didn’t continue to leave, which was essentially a silent compromise. Fu Shinian quietly watched her for a few seconds, smiled faintly, and said:

"You should be able to tell that Qiqi really likes me."

"Qiqi likes handsome guys, anyone good-looking, she will like them. You’re not the first, nor the only one."

Fu Shinian: "... That’s different."

"Whether it’s different or not, I know better than you." Su Mu looked at Fu Shinian and laughed coldly: "I know what you’re thinking, you just want Qiqi to recognize you as her father. But Fu Shinian, it was you who didn’t want her initially, you who didn’t acknowledge her. I didn’t tell her about your past attitude toward her, considering Qiqi’s upbringing and psychological health. If I did tell her, do you think she would like you?"

"Do you hate me that much?"

So much that he wouldn’t want his daughter to like him or acknowledge him.

"Yes, when I first left this city three years ago, there wasn’t a day I didn’t hate you. I didn’t just hate you; I also despised you. But now, I no longer harbor these emotions and understand that everyone encounters some scum in life. I just encountered an especially vile sample. You don’t actually think I’d be stuck in your trap for a lifetime, do you?"

"Since you no longer hate me, let Qiqi recognize me."

"Do you think all the good things in the world bear the surname Fu? You say recognize, and it happens, you say don’t, and it doesn’t?" Su Mu looked at Fu Shinian coldly: "Want to recognize Qiqi? Fine, as long as Qiqi herself nods and says she wants to live with you, I will automatically give up her custody rights. How about that?"

"You know that Qiqi cares about your feelings above all else. She would never make that choice. Why must you force a child?"

Su Mu smiled regretfully:

"Then there’s nothing I can do. Who’s been taking meticulous care of Qiqi beside her for these three years?"

"You? Meticulous? Since you’re so meticulous, how could Qiqi be in the hospital now? According to my previous guess, Qiqi was already showing symptoms last night, right? As a mother, not only did you fail to notice, but you also let her fever persist until late at night before rushing to the hospital. Perhaps this is your definition of meticulous?"

Su Mu’s weak spot was hit, and her expression instantly turned cold. Fu Shinian just looked at her and inwardly cursed, realizing this was not his intention at all, but he feared Su Mu wouldn’t believe that.
