Shattered by Fate, Restored by Truth

Chapter 583: Fu Shihan, you old bastard, did you trick me again?

Fu Shihan left the bar and went home, sending messages to Su Wanxin for a while.

He didn’t tell her about the messy things Zhang Xinjie did in private, that woman was dirty, but his treasure was clean.

He just reminded Su Wanxin to be careful when she was out, suggesting that Zhang Xinjie might still try to harm her.

Then he told her that he was worried and had arranged for two people to protect her in secret, fearing that she would be unhappy if she found out.

Su Xiaopian: I understand all that, but I’ll be home in a few days, would she dare to chase me to the Empire to mess with me?

She had already booked a ticket to return to the Imperial Capital, and would leave soon. The next time she would come back would be a month later.

Fu Shihan had not been back together with her for more than a month and they were going to part again, it couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.

Su Xiaopian: Also, my sister said that she will go to your company to find you tomorrow.

H: What for?

Su Xiaopian: To ask for money.

Su Yao felt like she must have inhaled too much smog after coming to the Imperial Capital, which made her silly—how could she do business with someone without discussing the price? Was she sick?!

Though she didn’t lack the money and it wouldn’t make a difference if she didn’t get it, the customer was Fu Shihan and she would get that money come hell or high water! She couldn’t let the Fu family take even the slightest advantage of them!

So, after finishing her work in the morning, Su Yao drove straight to Fu Shihan’s company, only to see Lu Ci getting out of the car next to her as soon as she parked.

Their eyes met, both with different expressions.

Su Yao: "You’re kidding, right? Even if you like me, do you have to make it so obvious?!"

Lu Ci: "..."

Fu Shihan, you old son of a bitch, you’ve screwed me over again? You said there was something important to talk about, is this it?

Su Yao: "How did you know I was coming here?"

Lu Ci: "...Did Fu Shihan tell you?"

Su Yao slapped her forehead, gasping with irritation.

She glared at Lu Ci, said nothing else, and walked towards the elevator. Lu Ci silently followed behind her, cursing Fu Shihan in his heart.

They entered the elevator one after another, with Lu Ci pressing the button for Fu Shihan’s floor. Then he looked at her, curiously asking, "What are you looking for him for?"

"To collect a debt," Su Yao said expressionlessly: "He owes me money."

Lu Ci laughed, finding this quite novel. Over the years, it was always others owing Fu Shihan; he had never heard about him owing anyone.

The elevator quickly reached the top floor, with Lu Ci leading the way; this was Su Yao’s first time at the Fu Group headquarters.

She came to find Fu Shihan today for two reasons: first, to collect money, and second, to see if there were many women around him, if he was doing anything cruel behind her sister’s back.

After walking for a while, they arrived outside Fu Shihan’s office.

Outside the door, the secretary at the desk stood up quickly when she saw Lu Ci.

"President Lu, you’re here!"

"Mhm." Lu Ci spoke indifferently, glancing at the door to Fu Shihan’s office and asking, "Is he in there?"

"President Fu left an hour ago, didn’t you know?"

Lu Ci frowned, looking at his watch.

Eleven o’clock, that was the time Fu Shihan arranged to meet him.

The secretary looked innocent: "President Fu said that he had reserved a spot at Muses Western restaurant for you, for you to take...take your girlfriend there for lunch, and then come back in the afternoon."

As the secretary spoke, she sneakily sized up the woman behind Lu Ci. She thought she looked familiar, as if she had seen her face before.

Lu Ci sighed speechlessly, then turned to look at Su Yao beside him.

Su・reluctant・fake girlfriend・Yao also sighed and looked at him, grinding her teeth.
