Shattered by Fate, Restored by Truth

Chapter 571: You are a life bought with the Fu Family’s money to shield Eldest Young Master Fu from disaster!

"You’re not soft-hearted, you’re kind-hearted."

Su Yao took the half-smoked cigarette from between her fingers, took a puff, and leaned on the railing looking in the direction of Fu Shihan’s house. The night was deep, and he hadn’t come back yet.

"Kind-hearted people are inevitably taken advantage of."

"So what you’re saying is, I was used by the Fu Family?" Su Wanxin furrowed her brows.

"How much do you really know about you and the Fu Family?"

Su Wanxin hesitated, then answered, "I know why I was adopted by the Fu Family. I heard that I once served as Fu Shihan’s amulet."

"Who told you that?" Su Yao frowned. "Fu Shihan?"

Su Wanxin shook her head. "Not him."

She wasn’t clear about who the person sending her messages was, only feeling that someday that person would contact her again.

Su Yao clenched her teeth, her mood suddenly turning sour. She had no choice, things had come this far, and she had to face reality.

"Yes, an amulet."

Su Yao nodded in acknowledgment.

"Your relationship with the Fu Family has been unequal from the start. Perhaps you see it as a mutually beneficial arrangement—they provided you with a comfortable life, took you out of the orphanage, and made your teenage years worry-free.

But what’s the cost? What did you have to pay?

The fundamental reason I hate Fu Shihan isn’t because of his status, nor because of what he has done to me. It’s because he once nearly took your life.

Perhaps you’d say he did nothing, but all the suffering you endured was because of him, and that’s an undeniable fact.

You are a life bought by the Fu Family with money, a life to shield the Eldest Young Master Fu from disasters! How can I, our parents, Su Yu, Su Bai accept this fact? How can we accept Fu Shihan being with you?"

Su Wanxin lowered her head, silent.

Su Yao: "Even though you don’t say it out loud, I can see that you like Fu Shihan. Your eyes are filled with stars when you look at him.

I don’t know how to persuade you or how to stop you. All I know is that I want you to be happy. As long as you’re happy, no matter the cost, we’re willing to pay it."

A year ago, when Su Yao brought her back home, she thought, this girl has had it too rough, to be bullied to the point of suicide.

A year later, as she accompanied her back, Su Yao was still thinking about how they just couldn’t escape or hide from the curse of the Fu Family.

Fu Shihan was persistent every day, never resting until his goal was achieved, while Su Wanxin was restless, hesitant, and conflicted every day.

Perhaps they should never have come back from the start, but fate is just like that, not everything goes the way we want.

After hearing her words, Su Wanxin stepped over and hugged her: "Don’t cry, I’ll be fine."

"Is it really fine or just self-deception?"

"Really fine. With you all by my side, how could I not be fine?"

This feeling of just being able to look back and see someone there with her, it was really nice.

Su Wanxin buried her head in her shoulder and said softly, "I’m not even afraid of death, so what else should I fear? I always feel that a year ago, I was brave enough to reset my life to zero. A year later, I should also have the courage to face whatever I left unfinished."

All the injuries suffered, all the hardships endured, they must have had meaning.

"I know you all care about me, you all worry about me. But Yaoyao, I like him, I can’t help but like him. I like him so much that I feel even if everything started over, I would still be willing to go through it all again."
