Chapter 419: Chapter 419: An Inevitable Conversation

So much happened that night that Su Mu hadn’t even picked up Qiqi from Fu Shinian. This little traitor had been getting along splendidly with Shinian recently; even when she answered her own calls, she would quickly say a few words and hang up, showing none of the emotion she used to have when she missed her during Su Mu’s occasional business trips.

It turned out that being with her father reduced a lot of her insecurity.

Despite not bringing Qiqi back, Su Mu still called her after returning to her apartment, but to her surprise, it was Fu Shinian who picked up the phone. His voice was so soft that it was all breath as he said,

"Wait a minute, Qiqi is asleep. I’ll step outside to talk to you."

Since Qiqi was asleep, Su Mu should have hung up the phone, but for some reason, she didn’t. Instead, she waited for Fu Shinian to leave Qiqi’s room and walk to a relatively quiet place before his voice returned to normal:

"You’re back?"

Caught off guard, Su Mu responded,

"How did you know?"

"Such a big event happened at the Wen Family, and you, as Wen Han’s girlfriend, if you didn’t show up, it would seem like the Wen Family doesn’t think much of you."

Su Mu replied indifferently,

"You’re quite well-informed."

"Anything about you, even the most trivial detail, I want to know."

The recent Fu Shinian truly seemed like a changed person, coming out with such love talk so easily. Su Mu couldn’t be bothered to pay him any mind; she had called to talk to Qiqi, so she promptly asked,

"Is Qiqi doing alright?"

"What if I say she’s doing more than alright, would you be jealous? The three years you’ve been taking care of her can’t compare to my one month."

"Don’t be so smug. Believe it or not, if I call Qiqi back, she’ll come running to my side immediately without a second glance at you."

Fu Shinian smiled slightly, pleading,

"I believe you, so please show some mercy and don’t cruelly separate us, okay?"

Su Mu was silent for a few seconds,

"Tomorrow I will bring both Qiqi and Shaoyuan over."

"Good, I’ll wait for you."

After hanging up, Su Mu thought for a moment and decided to call Jiang Bei. Although she had been in touch with him every day over these past few days, truth be told, Jiang Bei didn’t seem willing to say much. In just a few short days, Jiang Bei went completely back to his old self, as if the previous events had never happened. However, Su Mu couldn’t help but worry.

After all, Rong Shen is not someone who gives up easily.

Jiang Bei was on the night shift at the hospital and hung up after only a few words to attend to his duties. Su Mu sat in the living room, staring out at the thick night sky, suddenly feeling that she should really buy a place in Shen City. Since she was going to stay, it would obviously not be possible to stay at Jiang Bei’s place permanently.

The next day Su Mu got up early and spent nearly two hours in the kitchen making a nutritious breakfast before heading to the hospital.

Zhou Yaxian and Wen Han, although they had a brief rest, still looked listless. Su Mu didn’t know how to comfort them, so she could only encourage them to eat more, to at least have some energy. Zhou Yaxian had been repressing her emotions since yesterday, but people always reach a breaking point, and now upon seeing Su Mu, she seemed unable to hold it back any longer, hugging Su Mu and bursting into tears, displaying such despair that Su Mu felt it in her own heart.

Wen Han worried that Su Mu might be uncomfortable, and tried to pull his mother away but was refused by Su Mu. She understood how Zhou Yaxian felt; venting was the best thing to do.

Just like when she had lost her own mother, she almost blocked out all signals from the outside world. If Fu Shinian hadn’t forced her to face it, no one would know how long she might have stayed isolated in her own world.

Su Mu had originally intended to let Wen Han go back to rest, but he disagreed:

"The hospital has set aside a room for my mother and me to rest at night. So, don’t worry, I’m not tired, I’ve been resting well."

Although he said that, the dark circles under Wen Han’s eyes still betrayed him, but Su Mu was not in a position to point that out.

After spending the morning at the hospital, Su Mu left at the urging of Wen Han and Zhou Yaxian. As she was trying to hail a taxi at the hospital entrance, a car slowly pulled up in front of her. She was about to step back, but when the car window rolled down, Su Mu knew he was waiting for her.

The words that hadn’t been spoken last night, it seemed that today Ji Qingshan was determined to speak to her. Su Mu smiled,

"Good day, Mr. Ji."

"Get in."

Su Mu smiled slightly and without refusing, opened the door and got into the back seat, sitting beside him.

As the car slowly drove away from the hospital, Su Mu spoke softly,

"Please take me to Bishui Yuntian, thank you."

The driver glanced at Ji Qingshan through the rearview mirror, and with a faint chuckle and nod from Ji Qingshan, he then turned to Su Mu:

"Ms. Su, are you always this discourteous to everyone?"

"Not really," Su Mu smiled slightly. "It’s just that I feel Mr. Ji won’t have much to say to me. It’s only a half-hour drive from here to Bishui Yuntian, which should be enough, and it saves you the trouble of finding another place to talk, right?"

"You know what I want to talk to you about?"

"Not really, but I have some guesses." Su Mu looked at Ji Qingshan. "Is Mr. Ji asking me to leave Wen Han?"

Ji Qingshan smiled faintly,

"Do you think you’re status fits the Wen Family’s threshold?"

"What status do I have, Mr. Ji knows?"

"Fu Shinian’s ex-wife, and a daughter. Though now you’ve achieved some success in your career, your background is still ordinary, without any advantage to offer Wen Han. Match-making has always been about equal social standing. Though it’s criticized nowadays, the wisdom passed down from our ancestors holds some truth. What do you think?"

Ji Qingshan’s words were somewhat polite, and Su Mu inwardly remarked that, after all, he came from a prominent family with high standards and education. So even when expressing disdain, his words did not cause too much discomfort. Yet even if what he said was true, Su Mu felt he had no right to say these things to her:

"I don’t deny what you’re saying is correct, but... it is also my own choice, and I am prepared for whatever consequences may follow. Since even Wen Han and the Wen Family haven’t looked down on me, it seems I shouldn’t be too harsh on myself, or else I’d let down their affection for me."

"Are you saying that you’re determined to be with Wen Han?"

Su Mu smiled slightly,

"Regarding my ending with Wen Han, I haven’t given a definite answer to anyone, but I’m quite certain about one thing when it comes to Mr. Ji."

Ji Qingshan looked at Su Mu, waiting for her to continue. Su Mu smiled faintly and spoke calmly,

"No matter whether I end up with Wen Han or not, I won’t break up because of the words you said to me. Perhaps I’m the type you look down on, but I’m definitely not someone you can command."
