Shattered by Fate, Restored by Truth

Chapter 646 I Believe In Him

After Qi Ran entered the room, he knocked on the box on the table and said, "Give this to Fu Shihan later."

Su Wanxin walked over with curiosity, opened it, and was stunned by the contents, "So beautiful!"

She was completely clueless about jade, but she could still tell at a glance that this was a precious treasure, which proved its true worth.

"Mom, is this from Fu Shihan?"

"Mhm."

"Then why don’t you keep it? Why return it to him?"

"What relationship do I have with him to accept such a grand gift?" Qi Ran looked at Su Wanxin helplessly, sighing. "I really regret letting you return to Hua Country last year."

If she hadn’t gone back, perhaps things wouldn’t have developed to this point today.

Su Wanxin heard the implication in her words and spoke softly.

"Even if I hadn’t returned, he would have come. He has been looking for me all along. Moreover, the Fu Family has business dealings with us, meeting him was just a matter of time, so you shouldn’t blame yourself."

"As for this thing..." Su Wanxin earnestly looked at the necklace: "Just keep it. Your daughter is quite valuable. Consider it a part of the many costs he has to pay to pursue your daughter."

She smiled faintly and pushed the necklace towards her, "You’ll definitely look exceptionally beautiful with it on."

Qi Ran: "You admit that he’s pursuing you?"

"He even came here specifically to bring a birthday gift for you. If I said that he and I are just friends, you definitely wouldn’t believe it."

Su Wanxin decided to just come clean instead of beating around the bush.

"Mom, I think he’s a very nice person and he treats me exceptionally well. How about you consider giving him a chance?"

The most dreaded words Qi Ran feared finally came from her daughter’s mouth.

In all fairness, Fu Shihan indeed had the looks and abilities to make a person’s heart flutter, otherwise Qi Ran wouldn’t have resisted Su Wanxin’s interactions with him.

But...

"He treats you well, but does his family treat you well too?"

Qi Ran asked in a quiet voice, causing Su Wanxin to tremble slightly.

"Wanwan, you need to think carefully. If you choose to be with him, think about what you’ll have to face in the future. Mom doesn’t want to put you in a difficult position, but I even less want to see you being mistreated."

"He said... he will handle his family matters," Su Wanxin lowered her head and spoke softly.

"Do you believe him?"

"Yes, I believe."

"What if you’re wrong? What will you do?"

Su Wanxin hesitated for a moment, then looked up with a radiant smile: "Then I’ll come back, and never try again."

She had a home, and of course, she would return to seek comfort and support if wronged.

"Mom, if he deceives me, I’ll never deal with him again. In the future... we’ll go our separate ways, each walking a different path.

I just feel that there’s no need for him to weave such an intricate scheme, if all he’s doing now is to hurt me later, then...

I have nothing to say. If I can’t outplay him, then I’ll simply not play at all."

After hearing her words, Qi Ran gave a wry smile, "Why are you so brave?"

"Because I have you guys!" Su Wanxin straightforwardly said, "I know you would help me, so I don’t worry as much. Besides..."

She paused for a moment, then added.

"Besides, I like him. If I don’t give it a try, I’ll always regret it."

Su Wanxin had previously confessed her feelings to Su Yao, but the other family members were still unaware.

Her words made Qi Ran sigh deeply, and after looking at her for a while, she waved her hand, signaling her to leave.
