Shattered by Fate, Restored by Truth

Chapter 720: Brother Ci is Quick to Act

Aunt...

The last time Fu Shiyi heard her call Li Mo "Aunt" like this was probably over ten years ago, when she first came to their house.

After a moment of daze, Fu Shiyi replied with a bitter smile: "My mom is upstairs; she will come down shortly. My brother and dad will be back soon too. We’ll have dinner when they return."

Su Wanxin nodded and continued to search every corner of the room with her gaze.

Upstairs, after changing her clothes, Li Mo took the elevator down. Seeing the person on the sofa, the corners of her lips lifted slightly.

Upon seeing her, Su Wanxin quickly stood up and greeted her properly: "Hello, Auntie."

Li Mo paused for a moment before quickly reverting to her usual demeanor, responding: "Just like before, call me Aunt Mo."

"...Okay, got it, Aunt Mo."

"Wanwan, I heard that Su Yao and Lu Ci went home for the fifteenth?" Fu Shiyi changed the subject and asked: "When did those two get together? I’ve heard a lot of people talking about them recently."

"When exactly... I can’t say for sure, but it was before the New Year."

Su Wanxin didn’t mention that the two weren’t really a couple yet, and they were only pretending to be lovers to put on an act for the Lu Family.

She knew Li Mo and Lu Ci’s mother were sisters, so she couldn’t talk about it.

"Brother Ci is really quick with his moves." Fu Shiyi pondered thoughtfully: "If your family had other sisters, I bet Brother Yang and the others wouldn’t hold back either."

Su Wanxin: "..."

Su Wanxin: "Why?"

"They’re all jealous that you and my brother have been so close for many years. You’re so great, so your sisters must be incredible too!"

Li Mo: "Shiyi, don’t talk nonsense."

Fu Shiyi: "What I said is true..."

"Cousin, who is Brother Yang?" Yangyang snuggled into Su Wanxin’s arms, listening to their conversation with curiosity.

"Zheng Chuyang, your Uncle Zheng."

"Hm... So, am I Brother Yang?"

"Pfft~!" Fu Shiyi let out a laugh and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, you are!"

Yangyang was especially happy to hear this and decided to have his classmates call him that when he went back to school.

Because of Yangyang’s words, Su Wanxin couldn’t help but also smile, feeling quite relaxed.

She chatted with Li Mo and Fu Shiyi for a while, mostly about work-related matters.

After about fifteen minutes, Fu Shili also returned. He greeted Su Wanxin with a smile, looking very familiar.

They didn’t bring up the incident from a few years ago, nor did they ask what her current relationship with Fu Shihan was. Su Wanxin felt a sense of relief, but at the same time, she also felt uneasy.

Besides Su Yao, no one else in her household knew she was visiting the Fu Family today.

When Su Yao heard about it, she only commented, "If mom and dad find out, they’ll be furious."

So, every time she thought about this, Su Wanxin felt guilty. Looking at Li Mo’s legs, she couldn’t cheer up either.

She worked hard to appear as if nothing was amiss, but her glance couldn’t shift away from those legs.

She remembered the words Chen Lei said during their chat earlier in the day.

Many people wanted to thank her for being the "helper" who broke Li Mo’s legs, yet there she was, sitting in front of Li Mo intact and unscathed.

A flash of scorn flickered in Su Wanxin’s eyes—she felt her own skin was thick, utterly shameless.

"Wanwan, let’s go eat."

Li Mo’s words interrupted Su Wanxin’s thoughts. She looked at the people in the room, puzzled, and asked: "Uncle hasn’t come back yet, right?"

"He’s stuck in traffic and will be late, so we don’t need to wait for him. Let’s eat first."
