Shattered by Fate, Restored by Truth

Chapter 393: Don’t Tell My Brother!

"Mom, tell me the truth, when you brought Su Wanxin back home, was it because she and Shihan are your biological children, and my second brother and I just came with a phone recharge bonus?"

Otherwise, why didn’t Fu Shili and I inherit the sarcasm gene?

Li Mo’s gaze darkened when she mentioned Su Wanxin. Fu Shiyi noticed and stopped talking, not daring to continue.

Su Wanxin is like a chronic disease, planted in everyone in the Fu Family’s hearts, incurable and inerasable. It doesn’t kill you, but it tortures you constantly.

The living room fell into a brief silence, only the television continued to play. It was a crying scene, the whining made Li Mo’s head hurt.

"Mom, you know about the things my big brother has been doing these past few days, right? The engagement ring and such, no idea where he got it from."

Li Mo might be at home, but it doesn’t stop her from knowing every bit of gossip from outside.

Especially with Fu Shihan making such a scene, no sooner had the news broken than Li Mo’s phone started ringing non-stop as if it were provoked.

In these past few days, countless people have asked her, who are they becoming in-laws with? Who is Fu Shihan getting engaged to? When will the engagement party be?

A mother won’t take the blame for her son’s troubles.

So whenever someone asks, Li Mo throws the responsibility back to Fu Shihan and tells them to ask him.

Fu Shiyi looked at Li Mo, who was not speaking, and scooted closer to her, tugging at the hem of her clothing.

"Mom."

"Speak if you have something to say, don’t try to butter me up."

"...I’m angry with Su Wanxin."

"You’ve always been angry, when has it been any different?"

"This time it’s different, I’m even angrier." Fu Shiyi said, her eyes turning red. "I don’t want to see her ever again."

"Then don’t see her, no one’s forcing you."

Looking for comfort from Li Mo is as hard as finding a needle in a haystack.

She coldly watched Fu Shiyi, breaking the truth in one sentence: "You have legs, if you don’t want to, who can tie you up and make you see her?"

Clearly, it’s because you want to see her; you saw her, but got nothing out of it, and came back to throw a pity party.

You’re only tough within the nest, no ambition.

"Don’t you think she is being particularly outrageous? Ignoring us but sticking to my brother; does she know that nobody in our family dares to touch my brother, doing this specifically to irritate us?"

"How did she provoke you?" Li Mo asked quietly.

"She..." Fu Shiyi opened her mouth but hesitated. "I made her cry."

Fu Shiyi lowered her head, sighed, and related the day’s events.

After listening, Li Mo’s eyes darkened slightly. "Are you sure it’s her provoking you, not the other way around?"

"I didn’t expect the traffic to be so bad, but I did call her and told her to wait outside."

Fu Shiyi knew that Su Wanxin was timid and deliberately did not inform her in advance that the birthday party was a horror theme; it was no accident.

Because Su Wanxin fears those things, she would have to stay close to her, and wherever she went, she had to be accompanied.

Then, there would be a chance to talk to her more, and maybe even tease out some particularly valuable information.

Fu Shiyi called her over exactly for these reasons, but didn’t expect things to get messed up.

Although she knew she was at fault, Fu Shiyi was still angry because Su Wanxin always used to accommodate her and had never embarrassed her in front of others.

This time, not only did she make a face, she also looked at her with that kind of eyes.

What right did she have to hate? What was she hating about?

Li Mo fell silent for a long while and didn’t speak. After some time, she reminded, "If Fu Shihan finds out about this..."

Fu Shiyi shuddered: "Don’t tell my brother!"
