Chapter 453: Suicide is not something I’ll let you attempt a second time.
In the silence, the door was pushed open again. Fu Shihan turned his head and saw that it was his own younger brother.
Fu Shili entered the room and sat down, glancing at his brother’s expression.
"Wanwan upset you?"
Fu Shihan: "..."
Lu Ci and the others laughed uproariously, seemingly unafraid of being whacked.
"She ran off to a blind date with someone tonight, and I caught her in the act." Fu Shihan seemed to have given up, leaning on the couch drinking alcohol. "Has she always had such peculiar taste? Likes foreigners?"
"Blind date? Who set it up?" Fu Shili was suspicious, who would dare to arrange a blind date for Su Wanxin?
"I don’t know, probably her family. They apparently like the foreigner quite a bit."
Fu Shihan grew increasingly aggrieved as he spoke.
How could that blond be better than him?
"Bro, have you ever met Wanxin’s parents?" Fu Shili thought for a moment and asked.
"No, for the past two years in KL it’s been Su Yu and Su Bai taking over, I’ve mostly dealt with them. But meeting them wouldn’t matter, not a single one in the family likes me."
Listen to that self-deprecating yet resentful tone.
After they gloated over Fu Shihan’s misfortune, they didn’t forget to lend a hand. They were brothers after all; they couldn’t stand by and do nothing.
When Fu Shili heard Fu Shihan pressing for details about Su Wanxin’s suicide attempt, his expression darkened.
"It has nothing to do with you, but it does with us."
Lu Ci and the others exchanged looks; such words could only be said by members of the Fu Family, they couldn’t say them.
No matter how good their relationship with Fu Shihan was, they couldn’t directly tell him, "Su Wanxin’s suicide wasn’t because of you, but because of your family."
Besides, they didn’t have any concrete evidence, just speculation.
They knew that Su Wanxin had been under a lot of pressure because of the car accident. After all, she was just a girl, being pushed to the brink and having suicidal thoughts was normal.
"It’s been us pressuring her," Fu Shili said somberly, "This blame shouldn’t fall on you."
They drank and chatted about the past, dissecting various doubts and suspicions.
When Fu Shihan returned home in the wee hours, he stood at his doorstep, glancing at the house next door, his gaze flickered as he entered his home.
...
Su Wanxin thought that after offending Fu Shihan so badly last night, she would never receive a kind look from him if they met again, and there might not even be a chance for them to meet.
But in reality, she was thoroughly mistaken.
In the early morning, as she saw the man leaning against her car, her mind went blank, she missed a step on the staircase, almost fell but was swiftly supported by him.
"What... what are you doing here?"
Su Wanxin looked up to meet his gaze, asking the question with mixed emotions.
"Waiting for you."
"..."
"I thought all night, there’s something I can’t keep to myself."
Su Wanxin, anticipating a reprimand, mentally prepared herself.
After all, for a proud person like him, it was rare to be rejected and receive harsh words like he did the night before.
"I still think we’re quite suitable for each other."
Fu Shihan looked down at her stunned expression and smiled.
"If I can’t forget and let go, might as well not let go at all. I won’t allow you to try suicide a second time."
Su Wanxin clenched her fists, wanting to push him away.
"You already accepted the engagement ring, want to try and see how it feels on your finger?"
His words made Su Wanxin notice for the first time that he had an extra ring on his hand, resembling the one around her neck as if they were a pair.
"I don’t want it." Su Wanxin frowned in refusal and was about to say something when she heard the sound of a door opening.
Su Yaoyi stepped out to see some ruffian hugging her little sister at their doorstep, scaring her sister so much that her face turned red.
