Chapter 1983
In six years, there were so many things to be sure of.
For example, why I came to my senses and the first person I saw was Gu Han, who had disappeared for so long, and why he became my fiancé.
For example, why the Shen and Mo families had both left while the Fu family had ascended to the throne of the pyramid.
Like how that death obituary, which can only be issued by relatives, could have been done without Fu Shenyin ……
I looked at him, the hands resting on my lap squeezed the skirt of my dress and did my best to appear calm.
The man I once loved, Fu Shen Yan, after six years, I can no longer be sure that under the “nourishment” of the Murong family’s affection, he is still the man who loved me like his life.
As if I had seen through him, Fu Shen Yan immediately turned his face away again, his voice tinged with the fishy smell of bloodlust, “It’s none of your business.”
He propped one hand on the steering wheel and took another puff of his cigarette, his voice even colder, “Remember, you’re just Shen Shu’s stand-in.”
Perhaps it was the nicotine smoke that added to the look, the way he spoke, looking deep and despondent, as if he was carrying many secrets, his smooth jaw as if it would be crawling with huqing at any moment, revealing the vicissitudes of his heart.
Seeing that he had no intention of saying more, I had no choice but to give up.
A person who pretends to be asleep can never be woken up, and what’s more, Fu Shenyan’s mouth, as long as he doesn’t want to, no one will be able to pry it open.
After staying quietly by the river for an hour or so, Fu Shenyan’s cigarette carton was half empty before he re-lit his engine and headed back to his home.
I was on my way home when Zhian called, saying she wanted to eat the cake she was late for at the mall, and when she passed the mall, she asked Fu Shen Yan to stop the car.
I was about to unbuckle my seatbelt when Fu Shen Yan’s voice drifted over, “For this kind of thing, a phone call would be enough to have it delivered to your home, so why go the extra mile.”
I looked up and gave a helpless blank stare, “A gift from someone else is not as heartfelt as one you bought yourself, and I don’t blame you.
After saying that, I pushed open the car door and got out, but every two steps I took, a sturdy figure suddenly appeared beside me, walking side by side with me inside.
Looking up, all I could see was Fu Shen Yan’s arrogant chin.
“Don’t you think it’s a waste of time?”
Fu Shenyan didn’t even look at me, “My son, Fu Shenyan, is worth this price.”
“Really ……” Stinky to the point of being speechless.
I didn’t bother to pay attention to him, my head twisted and I deliberately took a bigger step, telling him to chase after me.
I found the bakery on the negative ground floor and the one Zhian liked was just about the last one left, so I was delighted and pointed to the cake in the window and said, “I’ll have this one, please wrap it for me please.”
The shop manager didn’t seem to want to do business, and gave me a perfunctory smile with an awkward tug at the corner of his mouth, and handed it over in a random packing box, without even a bag to carry it.
Fearing that Fu Shenyan would wait too long and lose his temper, I didn’t count on it and took it for my wallet, “How much is it?”
“It’s free, hurry up and get out of here.” The shopkeeper hurriedly packed up the rest of the pastries and intentionally pressed the Bluetooth headset on his ear, “It’s closed, you two come back another day sorry.”
Free?
Closing at seven?
Good lord, are you sure you’re not a tycoon out to experience life?
Chapter 1984
I had no choice but to take a fifty note and put it on the counter before taking the cake and leaving.
As I walked, I pondered the strange behaviour of the shopkeeper.
The shop manager was a young man, and when he moved his headphones, his other hand was hidden in his outer jacket pocket.
When he and Fu Shenyan entered the mall just now, they didn’t see many customers along the way.
A trace of panic flashed through his heart, but when he saw that Fu Shen Yan’s face was unchanged, he had to relax and reassure himself that he was overthinking things.
I had just left the cake shop when I heard a ding and the nearest lift opened and a man in a duck cap and camouflage uniform came out and was walking in the direction of me and Fu Shen Yan.
I didn’t even think about it, so I tugged Fu Shenyan’s sleeve and walked up the escalator. There was really no one else on this floor, so the camouflaged man seemed to take an instant liking to us and followed us up the escalator next door.
I became completely restless and anxious, and my breathing became rapid.
The mall was quiet, the shops all had their centre doors wide open, only to be silent, no one in sight, and I thought of the cake shop manager, the man who was more of a life experience, as if he was deliberately urging me to leave.
That cautious and serious look was clearly more like – plain clothes police!
I glanced quietly behind me, only to meet the camouflaged man, who had taken off his cap and was leaning against the armrest, and when he saw that I had spotted him, he grinned as if he had given up.
The expression was wild and sinister.
My heart sank, I subconsciously tugged on Fu Shen Yan’s jacket and warned in a voice that only the two of us could hear, “That man back there, he doesn’t seem simple.”
Just as I finished speaking, a loud and righteous voice came over the radio in the mall, “Zhang Haicheng, there is no way back for you, take the initiative to surrender now and the organization will guarantee that you will be given another chance to start over again!”
The lift went up to the ground floor, and a group of policemen were guarding the stairway, like hunters waiting for their prey.
The camouflage man’s voice was full of energy, “I don’t want to listen to your bullSh*t, I just want to die once and for all, what can you do to me!”
As he spoke, Fu Shen Yan’s big hand had already wrapped around my waist at some point, and when I reacted, my whole body was almost being carried by him with one arm as he walked quickly forward.
Camouflage man saw that we were going to escape, simply took off his jacket, revealing a body full of explosives, “think it’s okay to clean people up, old man caught two ingrates as usual, two, old man earned it, hahaha ……”
After saying that, he raised his hand, lighted the remote control in his hand, and pressed down hard.
“Boom” a loud sound, Fu Shen Yan with his body wrapped my entire body, the explosion brought a huge impact knocked us away.
A buzzing sound swirled around my ears, and the tendons in my body stiffened, leaving my brain in a state of confusion for a long time.
It was only after shaking my head hard that my vision became clear.
Fu Shenyan’s face was pressed against the ground completely unconscious, and I reached out to stroke it, only to violently encounter a sticky, warm liquid.
“Blood ……”
“Help, help! There’s no one! Help my husband! ……”
The last image before losing consciousness was of Fu Shen Yan’s silent face.
……
— Murong Zhi’an, in your intellectual opinion, what kind of woman does your father me look at?
–If not, do you have a chance to get close to him?
–You want to be the richest man’s wife, it’s quicker to get rid of me.
–There is no such person as Shen Shu.
–Remember, you’re just a substitute.
