Shattered by Fate, Restored by Truth

Chapter 428: Annoying People

Wanxin couldn’t help feeling irked at first, then thought the heavens truly played fair.

She forgot about him, and he wiped her from his memory just the same. Everything about each other had to be recounted by others.

But she ended up with a damaged brain from a drug-induced suicide attempt, what about him? What happened? Did he also take drugs in a show of romantic solidarity?

The casual thought made Wanxin scoff at its absurdity.

"Then you arrange it, do something to cheer yourself up," Su Wanxin replied nonchalantly, her eyes on the documents. "Anything else?"

"How about dinner tonight?"

"Thanks, I have plans."

"Was it with the person from earlier?"

"Someone else."

Fu Shihan clicked his tongue, thinking this girl really had a way of stirring interest. She just got back two days ago, and he needed to queue up to have dinner with her?

Her schedule was busier than his.

Su Wanxin had to pick up Su Yao later; Su Yu said he bought them a house, thinking the hotel wasn’t safe. They planned to check out the new place in the evening.

After discussing the competition with her, Fu Shihan left. He also had plans that evening and thought about canceling if she had agreed.

The room fell silent again. Su Wanxin sighed heavily, shook her head, and told herself not to be influenced by him, to stay clear-headed.

Coming back to work for the first time, Su Wanxin felt pretty good about it.

A bit tired, but more than anything, she felt a sense of fulfillment, which was far better than idling at home without a purpose.

After work, she left for Su Yao. Su Yao mentioned that people had mistaken her identity a lot today. Probably in a while, rumors about Su Wanxin having a doppelganger would circulate throughout the Imperial Capital.

"Wanwan, since you’ve come back, has anyone unwelcome bothered you?" Su Yao suddenly asked after a moment of silence.

Su Wanxin looked at her skeptically and countered, "What do you mean by ’bother’?"

"Like... someone with the surname Fu being particularly annoying?"

Su Wanxin chuckled lightly, "Indeed, there is."

On this topic, their opinions were quite aligned.

"I met Fu Shihan twice and found him really annoying."

"Steer clear of anyone surnamed Fu from now on," Su Yao said earnestly. "You were bullied by them enough in the past when you were here."

Su Yao knew that the Fu Family would probably seek out Su Wanxin after her return.

Especially since there was a child involved—something she hadn’t brought up to Su Wanxin yet, and Wanxin didn’t know either. If she found out, she’d probably want custody of the child.

So Su Yao was already preparing the documents, thinking about strategies for a custody battle against the Fu Family if needed.

"How did I provoke their family?" Su Wanxin wondered. "The Fu Family has connections and power; I have no reason to put myself in the line of fire."

"It’s not you running into them; it’s them coming after you," Su Yao snorted sarcastically. "Never mind, let’s not dwell on these unhappy matters. Just remember to keep your distance from them."

"Mhm, got it."

Su Wanxin nodded, but as soon as she agreed, she was metaphorically slapped in the face.

And not just her, Su Yao was caught in it too.

The villa Su Yu bought for them turned out to be right next door to Fu Shihan.

Fu Shihan had heard about Su Yu’s sister before but had never met her. This was his first time seeing Su Wanxin and Su Yao together. He paused for a moment, his gaze sweeping over their faces, then he relaxed.

Not bad, they were quite different. No risk of accidentally flirting with the wrong person someday.

Su Yao nearly rolled her eyes into her head upon seeing him. She pulled Su Wanxin into the house and slammed the door shut with a bang.
