Chapter 225: Ignore Her

Chapter 225: Chapter 225: Ignore Her

Fu Hongru, Fu Shihan’s father, is known to have the best temper in the Fu Family, but in reality, he might also be the worst of them all.

Su Wanxin has never been able to figure him out because in her eyes, he has always been a kind uncle with a warm smile and a gentle demeanor.

When he is not out socializing, he often wears casual Tang suits with a pair of round gold-rimmed glasses, looking gentle and scholarly.

If Su Wanxin had not seen with her own eyes how he could break someone’s limbs barehanded, all while maintaining a smile on his face, she might have continued to believe that Fu Hongru was an easy person to bully.

Su Wanxin knew that his work had primarily been overseas for the past six months, and though he occasionally returned, she never expected to bump into him here.

Her body went stiff with cold, her heart suspended in mid-air as if she had misstepped on a staircase and was about to tumble down in panic.

She was completely engulfed by a sense of unease and guilt, turning her head to cover her mouth and cough incessantly, trying to calm her breathing.

Her face flushed red from the coughing, but by the time she settled down, those two had already approached.

"President Fu!"

Upon seeing Fu Hongru and Fu Shihan, Chen Lei hurriedly greeted them and exchanged pleasantries. Fu Hongru smiled and shook hands with him, then his gaze swept indifferently over Su Wanxin’s face.

She distinctly felt a chill in his eyes. He glanced at her once and then completely ignored her. It was as if...

As if he had never known her at all.

As if he had never considered her family, never loved her, never hated her.

And would never... accept her again.

Su Wanxin’s face gradually returned to a pallid white; she forced a bitter smile, clenched her teeth, and silently endured the pain in her heart.

Actually, for someone like Fu Hongru to ignore her like this was the greatest punishment of all.

She looked up to meet Fu Shihan’s gaze, then shifted her eyes to look at Fu Hongru, speaking calmly.

"Hello, President Fu."

Fu Hongru glanced over, not saying anything. He couldn’t even be bothered to respond with a simple "hm."

He chatted with Chen Lei for a bit more and then continued on with Fu Shihan, brushing past her.

Chen Lei, sensing the subtle unease in the air, frowned at Su Wanxin and asked after Fu Shihan and the others had walked away, "What’s going on? President Fu doesn’t seem very happy?"

"He is unhappy," Su Wanxin sighed.

"Why?" Chen Lei was confused: "We didn’t provoke him."

"You didn’t provoke him; I did."

Su Wanxin replied with a faint smile.

"Do you remember when you once asked me about my relationship with Fu Shihan?"

Chen Lei thought back and remembered the answer Su Wanxin had given him.

She had said that she and Fu Shihan were enemies. Enemies to the extent that he clipped her wings, and she destroyed his paradise.

Chen Lei surely thought she was joking, but now Su Wanxin brought up the topic again.

"That answer applies just as well to me and Fu Hongru."

Su Wanxin had indeed ruined the happy and beautiful life of Fu Hongru.

He used to be frequently seen with Li Mo, the couple unbeatable when together. Now, only he is left to be seen in public, with Li Mo rarely appearing before the public eye anymore.

"Let’s go, we shouldn’t keep the client waiting."

Su Wanxin walked towards the elevator, and Chen Lei, with a deep frown, followed behind, observing her coldly elegant demeanor, feeling vaguely uneasy.

All of a sudden, he felt that Su Wanxin might... not have been joking.
