When Shen Feiwan exited Lin Lanhe's room, the Shen family had already left the Fu's residence on their own accord.
Having the privilege to dine at the Fu family was considered an honor for them. Naturally, they did not dare to overstay and left promptly.
At this moment, only Fu Shiyan was in the hall.
Shen Feiwan walked past Fu Shiyan without hesitation.
"Shen Feiwan, there should be a limit to your outbursts," Fu Shiyan's lukewarm voice echoed.
Then he stood up and walked ahead.
Shen Feiwan clenched her teeth and followed Fu Shiyan into the car.
It was late at night, in the rain.
The only person she could turn to, Lin Nuannuan, was now held under house arrest by this despicable man!
In the car, Shen Feiwan received a scathing phone call from Shen Juzhou, "Did you purposefully prevent Feichi from working at Fulan Jewelry?"
"You think too highly of me. Do you believe I have the power to influence Fu Shiyan?" Shen Feiwan retorted.
"Then why did Fu Shiyan refuse Feichi?"
"Didn't he make himself clear? Feichi is simply not capable enough."
"Incapable? You have captivated Fu Shiyan, why can't he see Feichi's merit?" Shen Juzhou didn't believe her.
"Aren't all men fools? Despite my mom being superior to Jiang Hong in so many ways, weren't you swayed by her?"
"You!" Shen Juzhou was left speechless.
After a while, he finally snapped, "No matter what, you must help Feichi get into Fulan Jewelry!"
Shen Feiwan didn't bother to respond and hung up the call.
As a child, she may have feared him.
When she was ten, her biological mother died. Less than a month later, Shen Juzhou hastened to bring Jiang Hong, his illegitimate daughter Shen Feichi and son Shen Feixuan, into the family.
The reason he waited until after her mother's death was not out of "respect". Instead, at that time, the Shen family depended on her mother; Shen Juzhou didn't dare disrupt the balance.
After her mother's demise, the Shen family was on the verge of bankruptcy multiple times. Each time, they were saved by the Fu family.
Ever since Jiang Hong brought her children into the Shen family, Shen Feiwan's peaceful days came to an end.
Once a proud and beloved daughter, Feiwan was either abused secretly by Jiang Hong or bullied by Feichi and Feixuan because she was too outstanding.
She complained to Shen Juzhou, but each time he ended up scolding her further. His mantra was, "You're the eldest, you should be more tolerant of your younger siblings."
Eventually, she just gave up.
Because someone told her that only if she became "worse" and more "obedient" would Jiang Hong and her children be happy, would she escape the physical abuse.
That person also told her to wait until she was old enough to leave home.
So, she strove to get away. During her college years, she studied abroad through her own capabilities.
She was able to go overseas because she lied to her family. Telling them she was attending a run-down university with the possibility of a scholarship, assuring that they wouldn't have to contribute a dime.
When Jiang Hong heard about this opportunity – to get Feiwan out of the Shen house without spending anything – she agreed without hesitation.
They didn't know the value of the school Feiwan attended or how excellent she was there.
She considered not coming back, developing her future overseas.
After all, she would have to start from scratch if she returned home.
But her mother's mysterious death didn't sit well with her. She didn't believe it was accidental, so she chose to return home to investigate.
Three years had passed since her return, and the investigation hadn't made much progress.
On top of the ongoing investigation, she had slept with a stranger and then ended up marrying him due to an unfortunate chain of events.
But maybe getting married wasn't all bad.
At the very least, it allowed her to distance herself from the Shen family to some degree.
After Shen Feiwan hung up the phone, she felt a sense of unease around her.
Only after a while did she realize that while she was on the call, she seemed to have inadvertently offended him.
She had said that he was a fool.
After pondering for a moment, she concluded that she hadn't said anything wrong.
Therefore, there was no need for an explanation.
The car arrived at their destination.
The moment Shen Feiwan was about to step out of the car, Fu Shiyan suddenly commanded, "Take your things with you."
What things?
Hadn't Ming Qi already taken her luggage?!
Fu Shiyan didn't waste time in idle chatter. He got out of the car and left immediately.
"Madam, you left something in your seat." The driver Xiaoli couldn't help but give a kindly reminder, "Mr. Fu bought it especially for you overseas..."
Shen Feiwan turned her head and saw a shopping bag placed on the back of her seat.
At a glance, it was clear that it was a luxury item from the D family.
Shen Feiwan gripped the shopping bag and got out of the car, visibly irate.
Back at home, Fu Shiyan had already changed into his sleepwear. He sat at the bar, wearing his gold-rimmed glasses, and sipping coffee.
Calmly drinking his coffee, he was managing work-related matters on his tablet.
"So, you think you can brush me off just by buying a random bag?" Shen Feiwan asked him.
Indeed.
They had been married for three years and it wasn't like they hadn't argued before.
With the way Fu Shiyan behaved, it was a testament to her tolerance that she hadn't taken a kitchen knife to him yet.
And every time after their quarrels, Fu Shiyan would use gifts to shut her up.
She had accepted them countless times in the past.
But not this time!
Adultery within marriage.
An issue of principle that required no forgiveness.
Fu Shiyan didn't spare her a glance, he just coldly threw out the words, "Quit while you're ahead."
"Fu Shiyan, I don't care for your things. It's over between us. We're getting a divorce!" Shen Feiwan threw the bag directly at Fu Shiyan.
Fu Shiyan caught it in his hand.
His expression drastically changed.
For a moment, Shen Feiwan felt that Fu Shiyan might want to choke her to death.
"If you are not satisfied with our property division, you can have your lawyer contact me. I can be somewhat accommodating..."
"You're only fit to leave empty-handed." Fu Shiyan coldly responded, his words filled with contempt and anger.
Shen Feiwan clenched her jaw, her fingers tightened into a fist.
She already knew that Fu Shiyan had nothing but disdain for her.
But hearing such ruthlessly cold words from him made her heart ache.
Their three years of marriage was truly unbearable to witness.
After a long while.
Shen Feiwan regained her calmness, she replied, "Okay."
Fu Shiyan's eyes tensed up.
The hand holding the coffee cup was so tightly gripped that his knuckles turned white.
"I don't want a single penny, we'll go to the civil affairs bureau for the divorce tomorrow." Shen Feiwan dropped the sentence and turned to leave.
"Shen Feiwan, you'd better not regret it!"
"Regret?" Shen Feiwan sneered, "The thing I regret the most is that I got into the wrong bed initially!"
"So, who's bed do you want to get into?" Fu Shiyan's voice had an obvious edge of gritted teeth.
Back then…
Who knew?!
"Xu Rufeng?" Fu Shiyan's face turned icy.
Shen Feiwan was taken aback.
This name sounded like a lifetime ago.
After a few seconds of dazed confusion, Fu Shiyan was already in front of her.
He forcefully grabbed her jaw, forcing her to look him in the eye.
"Let go of me... it hurts!" Shen Feiwan's eyes were reddened by Fu Shiyan's strength.
"Shen Feiwan, the trick of being resistant yet longing for me to pursue has no effect on me. It only makes me think you're overdoing it."
Having said that.
Fu Shiyan contemptuously pushed her away and walked past her.
Watching Fu Shiyan's proud and arrogant back, Shen Feiwan retorted, "Yes, I am playing hard to get! Your mother said having a child with you would be more beneficial than anything else! I'm ready, let's get this done quickly tonight!"
As soon as she finished her sentence, she directly threw herself at Fu Shiyan's back.
Might as well break the pot now that it's already cracked!
