Chapter 430: Chapter 430: Thoughtfully Designed, Afraid of Her Being Wronged

Fu Shinian leisurely walked around the courtyard to relieve his fatigue. By the time he returned indoors, Xu Yansu had already wakened and was sitting on the sofa, looking around somewhat bewilderingly, clearly without any memory of what had transpired last night. It wasn’t until she saw Fu Shinian at the doorway that she slowly turned around and gave a faint smile.

Fu Shinian glanced at her:

"If you’re awake, don’t delay any longer— you know what I want you to do."

"What if I don’t do it?"

Fu Shinian didn’t respond immediately; instead, he just gazed at her, his whole demeanor exuding a dangerous aura as if just one more word from Xu Yansu would lead him to an untraceable grave. Watching such Fu Shinian, Xu Yansu gave a slight smile:

"I won’t go with you, nor will I help you detoxify Su Mu, because... there’s no virus in her body."

Fu Shinian fell silent for a few seconds; he neither expressed belief nor disbelief in Xu Yansu’s words but merely stared at her for several seconds, then took steps forward to sit in front of her and slowly spoke:

"How can I believe you?"

"You feel it too, don’t you? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have taken so long to come to me after I told you, right? Given how much you care about Su Mu, you wouldn’t just watch her succumb to illness before finally deciding to deal with me. You delayed because you also doubted the existence of the virus in Su Mu; you agreed now only because the month I spoke of is getting closer. Even if you thought it might be false, you wouldn’t dare gamble with Su Mu’s life."

Watching Fu Shinian still looking dubious, Xu Yansu lightly smiled:

"You probably won’t believe what I say, but it is the truth."

"Why do this?"

"Why?" Xu Yansu chuckled lightly: "I don’t know, but when I found out that your real wife was not Meng Lan but Su Mu, I felt she was very important to you, like the old lady. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have gone through so much trouble to arrange so many things for her."

"I’ve liked you since three years ago. In the first year when you were full of spirit, I buried all my feelings deep inside. Knowing my identity and past, I dared not get close. Later, when you became infected and your health deteriorated daily, I started having unrealistic thoughts. Naturally, I wanted to save you, but if I couldn’t, I was prepared to die with you."

"Only later did I find out you had been pretending all along, your weakness was merely a ploy. At that moment, I was actually happy—happy that you could live well. I originally thought all your endurance was for the old lady, but when Su Mu appeared, I realized there was her too. When you were sick, I thought I might still have a chance with you, but once you were fine, I figured you deserved better. My presence by your side brought nothing but disgrace."

"I initially planned to return to Italy with Shi Lihua, but since she was dissatisfied and wanted to get the results of a past research, I could only stay with her. Bringing Su Mu back was merely to threaten you, but when Shi Lihua asked me to infect Su Mu with the virus, suddenly it reminded me of what you had been enduring these past three years."

"I didn’t do it for Su Mu. If she was someone unimportant to you, I could let her die without blinking an eye. But you care about her as much as you care about the old lady, which means you would once again be constrained by Shi Lihua for Su Mu’s sake. I didn’t want to see you like that, so I secretly swapped the virus solution with a harmless sleeping drug."

Xu Yansu looked at Fu Shinian:

"After Su Mu was rescued, Qiao Yu should have checked her, and there were no anomalies, right?"

"Didn’t you say that was a new drug you developed?"

Xu Yansu smiled slightly:

"I’ve been by your side for three years, when would I have had the time to conduct such research?"

Fu Shinian remained silent.

Honestly, he didn’t know whether to trust Xu Yansu or not. Although he had harbored such doubts before, Xu Yansu was still not a person he trusted. Entrusting Su Mu’s life to his trust in Xu Yansu did not feel assured, but how else could he verify it?

"You still don’t believe me, do you?" Xu Yansu smiled wryly: "Actually, that’s understandable. After all, I have a history with you, and it’s only right for you to be cautious. But you also have no way to verify whether I’m telling the truth. You also wouldn’t dare let me detoxify Su Mu again; you’re afraid that while she’s fine now, she could be infected with a new virus during the detoxification. So think about it, it seems you have no better option than to believe what I said."

Fu Shinian stood up from the sofa:

"Don’t let me find out you’ve lied to me."

Having said this, Fu Shinian headed toward the door. Seeing this, Song Yi came in from outside, turned off the video camera he had been holding, and took it in his hand. Xu Yansu got up from the sofa and watched Fu Shinian:

"When do you plan to divorce?"

Song Yi looked at Fu Shinian without saying a word.

Fu Shinian paused for a few seconds: "That’s none of your concern."

"You’re not coming back, are you?"

Fu Shinian didn’t reply and walked away. Xu Yansu watched Fu Shinian’s receding figure, tugging slightly at the corner of her mouth with a bitter smile.

On the journey back, Fu Shinian was preoccupied with thoughts, while Song Yi sat in the passenger seat, silent not to disturb him until Fu Shinian finally spoke:

"Do you believe the things Xu Yansu said?"

Song Yi glanced at Fu Shinian through the rearview mirror and commented:

"I don’t know; according to her story, the possibility that she didn’t poison the lady is greater, but what if she’s just performing? What if she really did poison her and doesn’t want to cure her, just wants to watch the lady leave you forever? If that’s the case, it seems we don’t have any other options."

Fu Shinian continued to remain silent, not speaking, and Song Yi turned to look at him:

"You’re also worried Xu Yansu is lying, which is why you didn’t tell her that the marriage was actually fake, right?"

Yes, Qiao Yu was correct: yesterday’s so-called marriage had been a show for Xu Yansu, the staff were real, but the marriage certificate was fake, including the website she checked which was temporarily created to deceive Xu Yansu. He would never actually marry such a woman.

Indeed, he did it for Su Mu’s sake, but if there had been other options, Fu Shinian would never have had a legal relationship with another woman; to him, that was also a kind of cheating, something he couldn’t accept, and he also didn’t want Su Mu to feel aggrieved.
