Chapter 402: Su Wanxin’s Suicide, They Forced Her.
Fu Shiyi found it funny. Something she personally drew was powerful?
Is it really that easy to make money these days, where scribbling and doodling could be sold as a Peace Talisman for a high price? Then why is it still so hard for those studying fine arts to find a job?
Mu Suyu saw her mocking smile and understood what she was thinking.
In the past, Mu Suyu would have said nothing. Every profession has its own rules, and in her line of work, she didn’t force others to believe in anything.
In other words, some people are lucky enough not to believe in those things their entire life.
But now, Mu Suyu was quite irritated.
"Lin Yifan is an artist under your company, isn’t he? Have you heard about his recent encounters with unclean spirits?"
Fu Shiyi was momentarily stunned; of course, she had heard about it. Lin Yifan would often claim to have seen ghosts, and indeed, some strange incidents took place on the set of his shoots.
Later on, it was said that they sought out a master to solve the problem, spending a good deal of money.
"Some things don’t need to be strongly believed in, but it’s best not to dismiss them entirely. I am a Heavenly Master who specializes in cleansing unclean spirits. Su Wanxin had an accident and her constitution weakened, allowing her to see certain things, so she hired me to protect her."
Fu Shiyi staggered, leaning against the wall. "What did you say?"
"Su Wanxin is very afraid of those things. You grew up with her from childhood; you should know that, right?"
Mu Suyu looked at her, speaking up for Su Wanxin.
"Don’t think you’re the only ones who deserve sympathy. Who isn’t deserving of pity? Just because you’ve had a hard few years, do you think she’s had it any better?"
Fu Shiyi was at a loss for words; she stood there for a while before leaving in silence.
She remembered some mean things she had said and done.
She was once shopping with Sheng Qian and saw a promotion for a horror movie in a cinema, mentioning that Su Wanxin was most afraid of those.
She even said that if there really were unclean spirits, she hoped they would give Su Wanxin a good scare, to punish her for being so nasty.
She knew Su Wanxin was frightened, too scared to watch even comical horror films, fearing the restroom afterwards.
Yet she took her to a horror party, arriving over an hour late and afterwards they argued bitterly.
Memories resurfaced, piercing painfully.
They had always attacked Su Wanxin in their own skilled ways, leaving her scarred all over.
Su Wanxin’s suicide was driven by them.
Fu Shiyi cried loudly over the steering wheel, remembering how many years ago Su Wanxin had been abducted in her stead. After returning, she still smiled and comforted her not to cry, saying it was nothing.
How could she be alright!
She had been bullied so cruelly by the person she loved!
She was someone who was afraid of injections, but now she was lying in a hospital bed, sustaining her life via IV drips!
Fu Shiyi wept uncontrollably, wondering how she would face Su Wanxin in the future.
Humans are such strange creatures, always probing boundaries with attacks and seeking love with hurt.
And then, after hurting others and themselves, they live with endless regrets.
...
Fu Shiyi cried for a long time until she gradually calmed down, then she drove away.
In the hospital, Fu Shihan sat beside the bed holding Su Wanxin’s cold hand, studying her features intently, as if imprinting her visage deep into his memory.
From nightfall to dawn, he only left his vigil to shower and change clothes when Fu Shili and Lu Ci arrived, then checked on Yangyang who still had a fever and cold.
Children love to be spoiled when they’re sick; Yangyang clung to Fu Shihan’s neck, crying and not letting him go.
Fu Shihan comforted her for a while, assuring, "Daddy will come back to have dinner with you tonight; I just need to go to the office to handle some things. I need to make money so that we can buy Mommy the things she likes later on."
