Chapter 429: Chapter 429: Just Did It, No Reason

Su Mu remained silent for a few seconds on the other end of the video:

"Xu Yansu isn’t with you?"

"She is." Fu Shinian didn’t avoid the question, "I’m currently at the old house, and worried that you don’t trust me, I thought of video calling you."

Su Mu: "... I’m tired, going to sleep."

"Then sleep, but keep the video on. That way, when you wake up, you can see me anytime and it will prove that I’m not doing anything to betray you."

Su Mu couldn’t help but laugh softly:

"Fu Shinian, we are already divorced. Whatever you do, it has nothing to do with me, let alone betraying me. Besides, Xu Yansu is now your lawful wife. Enjoy the beautiful moment; don’t miss it."

After saying that, she hung up the phone, not leaving Fu Shinian a chance to reply.

Fu Shinian had never been treated like this before, but even so, he showed no sign of anger, and, smiling faintly, he sent Su Mu a message before putting away his phone, not intending to check it again, for he was certain that Su Mu wouldn’t respond and may even block him.

His WeChat message read: "I can’t bear to flirt with other women, just want to save my energy to love you well."

Indeed, Fu Shinian received no reply for the rest of the night.

Because of this video call with Su Mu, Xu Yansu didn’t speak for a long time. She got up, returned to the living room, and began to drink heavily until the bottle was empty. Then she spoke again, though she was very much inebriated by this point. Fu Shinian slightly furrowed his brows, feeling troubled.

Luckily, she didn’t come to bother him but just lay down on the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling, muttering to herself:

"I’ve never seen you treat anyone like this. So, it’s not that you can’t be gentle or say sweet things; it’s just that you want to reserve all your best sides for Su Mu only, disregarding everyone else, careless of them all."

"I remember the first time I met you, you were sitting beside the old lady’s sickbed, utterly despondent. But when I said that I had a way to save her, your eyes instantly lit up, you stood before me and earnestly thanked me. Back then, I thought you genuinely saw me as a lifesaver, but now I realize you were acting all along."

"You deceived everyone, including stealing my heart. Shi Lihua told me that loving you was a mistake because she never intended to let you live, so my affection would come to nothing. I don’t care. I think you never truly loved anyone from the start. As long as I devoted myself to you, it wasn’t entirely impossible. If only you could love me back, I’d save you even if Shi Lihua exposed all my past deeds..."

Xu Yansu chuckled as she continued:

"You probably don’t know, do you? If it weren’t for Shi Lihua, there wouldn’t be a ’me’ today. I don’t have a family. I studied abroad all on my own effort, but life abroad isn’t as great as we imagine. I was just out of the wolf’s den and into the tiger’s den. My classmates ostracized me, even my compatriots looked down on me; anyone could bully me, and they even got some terrible men to rape me..."

"They took photos, recorded videos, and used them to threaten me. I couldn’t resist; to them, I was just a slave. But I had one advantage over them—they were merely gold-plating their resumes with their family’s money, whereas I was truly trying to learn. So, I developed a toxin and secretly poisoned their food. The poison wasn’t lethal, but it would gradually make them depressed, similar to clinical depression. The longer they consumed it, the worse they would get..."

"Not long after, one of them committed suicide by jumping off a building. I was delighted but dared not show it. Just when I thought my good days were almost upon me, they discovered my actions. Indeed, one is most likely to slip up when complacent. They turned me into the school, into the police for investigation. I thought I was doomed, but the person who came to do the final assessment was Shi Lihua... She let me off the hook."

"But she imprisoned me in another way. Though I was no longer bullied, I also lost my freedom..."

"I didn’t want to do bad things. I didn’t want to use the old lady’s life to threaten you, but if I didn’t, all my past deeds would be exposed. Before I fell for you, I had no choice but to listen to Shi Lihua because only through her could I survive..."

"I never planned to fall for anyone because no one knows better than I do what I have been through. I don’t deserve to love anyone; I don’t have the right. I was cautiously guarding my heart, thinking maybe it’s best to live my life that way, with no one knowing my past, and I wouldn’t tell anyone."

"But then I met you, and my heart was no longer my own. I regret my filthy past deeply, but even though I know I shouldn’t, don’t deserve, and am not qualified, I still can’t help but love you. I love you so much that I want to see you every moment, want to possess you, to marry you, to be with you for a lifetime..."

"But then, you actually had someone you liked. For her, you did so much. I always thought your world only contained the old lady, but no, you gave all your love to that woman named Su Mu. I envy her, I’m jealous of her, I can’t help but want to kill her."

"But I can’t... the incident with the old lady already made you despise me intensely, if I did something to Su Mu, you would probably never look at me again in this lifetime..."

That night, Xu Yansu babbled on and on. Some of her words were illogical, disconnected. Fu Shinian never responded from beginning to end. Frankly, he had no interest in Xu Yansu’s past because even the saddest story couldn’t justify what she had done to the old lady.

What’s done is done; there’s no other excuse.

But Fu Shinian didn’t stop her, letting her talk. He occasionally listened, but most of the time, he didn’t take it to heart. Like this, the night slowly passed until the sky began to lighten.

Unnoticed by Fu Shinian, Xu Yansu fell silent and lay sleeping on the sofa. The living room returned to quiet. Fu Shinian gently massaged his temples and stood up from the rattan chair. Glancing at his watch, it was already 5:10 AM. Thinking that Su Mu surely wouldn’t be awake yet, he wasn’t in a hurry to take Xu Yansu over and decided to let her sober up a bit more and let Su Mu sleep a little longer.
