Chapter 72: Chapter 72 What is he looking for her so late for?

Fu Shiyi’s strength is immense, causing the batteries to fall out of the remote control when he threw it.

Miss Su lowered her head to look at the ground, slowly squatted down to pick them up, then asked softly, "What is it that you wanted to see me for?"

"What do you think?!" Fu Shiyi looked at her, unable to comprehend how she could be so calm. "Don’t you feel guilty when you see me?"

"Guilty and ashamed, overwhelmed by a sense of fault," Su Wanxin replied, looking down truthfully. "But I also know that this day would come sooner or later."

It wasn’t just Fu Shiyi, but eventually all the other people of the Fu Family she would have to face.

"Feel free to scold or hit me, go ahead."

Su Wanxin put the remote control back on the table and calmly met Fu Shiyi’s eyes, fully prepared for what might come next.

"What exactly did you come back for?" Fu Shiyi clenched his fists. "To atone? To justify yourself? Su Wanxin, you know we won’t let you off the hook!"

"Even you couldn’t save Aunt Mo’s legs, so no matter what I do, I can’t atone for my sins. I was the one driving, I caused the accident, and I can’t defend myself. I came back for the money, for the shares of the Su Family."

"Heh." Fu Shiyi sneered. "Money? I’m afraid you might have the life to take it, but not the life to spend it!"

"Perhaps not." Su Wanxin also smiled slightly. "Maybe I’m banking on the fact that you won’t really do anything to me, Shi Yi. You can’t bear to hit me, can you?"

Fu Shiyi: "!!!"

"Not just you, even Fu Shihan can’t bear to lay a hand on me. I’ve known you both for over a decade, I know what your soft spots are. I’m such a despicable person, otherwise why would I dare to come back?"

Su Wanxin finished speaking and sat down on the sofa. She waited for a long time, waiting for Fu Shiyi to yell at her or to simply rush over and hit her, but...

Fu Shiyi just stood there, back towards her, without moving.

Su Wanxin observed her slightly trembling body, her heart sank, and she stood up to walk over, then saw that her face was covered in tears.

Fu Shiyi was angrily crying because of her.

"You..." Su Wanxin frowned, "Why are you crying? Stop crying."

"Get away from me! Mind your own business!" Fu Shiyi pushed her away and wiped off her tears. "You think I can’t bear to hit you? I just don’t want to dirty my hands! Even if you die in front of me, I wouldn’t shed a single tear for you!"

The room suddenly went quiet; Su Wanxin held back from saying more, turned around and took a piece of tissue paper to hand over. Fu Shiyi grabbed it from her, glaring with eyes full of anger.

Knock knock—

"Miss Su, are you there?"

Someone knocked on the door, a man’s voice coming from outside.

Su Wanxin turned her head to look, recognizing his voice.

It was the same man who had come looking for her when Fu Shihan was there that night. Who could it be?

She felt displeased and intended to open the door. But Fu Shiyi beat her to it, swiftly moving to the doorway.

The door opened, and the man outside was surprised to see Fu Shiyi.

"Who are you? What do you want with her this late?" Fu Shiyi eyed him, asking irritably.

"Uh..." The man glanced inside the room, locking eyes with Su Wanxin across the void, raising an eyebrow. "I thought we weren’t supposed to have contact with the outside world here, what’s going on with Miss Su?"

Su Wanxin scoffed and slowly walked over. "So, what did you want with me?"

The man was from another company; Su Wanxin hadn’t had much to do with him, but she had heard Su Yan mention some things about him.

Word was that this man was notoriously scummy in the circle, his affair and hook-up stories were frequently talked about.
