Shattered by Fate, Restored by Truth

Chapter 717: Long Time No See You Smoking

Su Wanxin and Su Yao talked for a long time, finally satisfying her to leave.

The study room’s door closed again, Su Wanxin leaned on the sofa, looked up at the ceiling, and complexly smiled after a while.

Su Yao is really quick to spill everything, not even giving herself a reason to cry...

The next day, at 10:30 AM. Yangyang suddenly called her.

Su Wanxin picked up and heard him loudly shout: "Mom! I miss you!"

He was still at the Fu Residence, and hadn’t come back these days.

Su Wanxin’s eyes softened, gently replying: "Mom misses you too."

"Then Mom, can you come pick me up? Auntie said..."

"Fu Yu’an!" An irate voice came from the other end of the phone, "I didn’t say that!"

"Auntie said she misses you too!" Yangyang finished with a laugh, clearly having been urged by Fu Shiyi to make the call.

Go to the Fu Family to pick him up? Am I sure I won’t be kicked out? Grandpa from the Fu Family is probably still there, right?

As Su Wanxin was contemplating, the person on the other end of the line changed.

Fu Shiyi awkwardly took over the phone, softly starting: "Wanwan."

"Hmm."

"Do you have time tonight? Yangyang said he misses you and wants to see you. How about coming over for dinner and then taking him back?"

"Let’s not." Su Wanxin tactfully refused. "Let Fu Shihan come back and pick him up, or have a driver send him back."

"Come back, I miss you too..." Fu Shiyi hesitated, his voice very low: "The others at home want to see you too, it’s been a long time since they have seen you."

Su Wanxin lowered her eyelids, swallowing her saliva.

"Wanwan, can I pick you up after work?" Fu Shiyi persisted in a low voice, "I managed to get two of the new limited edition bags from H, one for each of us."

Hearing this, Su Wanxin laughed.

Is this how the Fu family always sweet-talks? Fu Shihan cheers her up with balloons, and Fu Shiyi with handbags?

"Wanwan, I’m begging you, just come back for a meal!"

Fu Shiyi plaintively wheedled, Su Wanxin hesitated for a moment, asking: "Does the rest of your family know about asking me over for dinner?"

"They know! Ah... My brother doesn’t know yet! I heard from Shi Li that he seems to be on a business trip today, he won’t be back tonight!"

Actually, it was Li Mo’s idea, as Yangyang was fussing about wanting to see his mother this morning, Li Mo said, "Then we should call your mom to come here and pick you up."

Hearing this, Su Wanxin finally made up her mind. "Alright, pick me up at five."

"Great!" Fu Shiyi was overjoyed. "Then it’s settled!"

Fu Shiyi happily ended the call, turned around to find the chef to prepare tonight’s menu. Then he went to tell Li Mo about Su Wanxin agreeing to come over for dinner.

After agreeing with Fu Shiyi, Su Wanxin’s heart hung in suspense, both nervous and uneasy.

Having to meet the Fu Family and sit together for a meal, for her, is undoubtedly a huge challenge.

Su Wanxin felt like she was crazy; how else could she be so recklessly brave. But she had her own reasons, so she couldn’t not go.

She sighed deeply, opened the drawer, took out a cigarette from inside, and headed to the smoking area.

Chen Lei was smoking there too, saw her, and reflexively looked outside, afraid that Fu Shihan might appear unawares.

"It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you smoke, what’s the matter today?" Chen Lei looked at the troubled Su Wanxin and asked concernedly.

"It’s nothing, just a bit tired."
