Shattered by Fate, Restored by Truth

Chapter 725 Eavesdropping

Su Wanxin replied very straightforwardly, her words sounded hurtful, but that was indeed the truth.

This is the Fu Family’s home, their home.

Even though she had lived here for over a decade, in the end...

Su Wanxin looked at Fu Shiyi whose expression changed in an instant, and she lowered her eyelids to hide the sadness in her eyes.

A place that wasn’t hers, yet everywhere she turned felt incredibly familiar, there was nothing about this that should make anyone happy.

She could throw tantrums at her own home, but here, she had to be cautious and restrained.

After hearing her words, Fu Shiyi didn’t say anything else, just watched her for a while then got up and left.

Only Su Wanxin and Yangyang were left in the room. She let out a long sigh, leaned back, and collapsed onto the bed.

A visit to the Fu Family, first she upset Fu Shihan, and then Fu Shiyi followed. This trip wasn’t in vain... quite remarkable, indeed.

Su Wanxin gave a bitter smile, covered her eyes with her hands, then heard the little one next to her asking in a very soft voice, "Mommy, why isn’t this your home?"

It’s dad and daddy’s home, why isn’t it mommy’s?

"Mommy has a headache, I won’t talk."

"Okay!" Yangyang obediently kept quiet, snuggling into her embrace, and indeed stopped talking.

Mommy smells so nice...

Yangyang thought with his eyes closed. But mommy seems unhappy, was it daddy who upset her? Or maybe an aunt?

Yangyang pondered for a while, slowly feeling sleepy. Before long, he fell asleep in Su Wanxin’s arms.

Su Wanxin lay on the bed wide awake, time slowly passed by, and she just lay there until eleven, feeling somewhat thirsty.

At this time, there should be no one downstairs.

Su Wanxin hesitated for a moment, carefully got up, tucked her son in properly, and went out to get some water.

The lights in the living room were dimmed, no one was there. However, there was a faint light leaking from the slightly ajar kitchen door, and hushed voices could be heard inside.

Su Wanxin did not intend to eavesdrop on others’ conversations, but since she’d heard something... she listened a bit longer.

Inside the kitchen, two servants were finishing up their cleaning work. They talked about tonight’s family dinner, curious.

The two servants had been working with the Fu Family for different lengths of time, one for over a year, the other only three months.

"Who was the woman who came to the house today? Have you seen her before?" the recently arrived servant whispered, "I saw that the lady seemed to value her highly."

"Didn’t you hear the Young Master call her mom? I haven’t seen her before, and when I asked the others today, they also said they hadn’t seen her. But given today’s situation, we’ll probably have to call her Young Madam in the future."

"She does look pretty... The Eldest Young Master has such a bad temper, I don’t know what she’s like, if they get married and move back here, we might be in trouble."

All the servants are afraid of Fu Shihan, without exception.

"Hey, how do you think this woman met our Eldest Young Master?"

"Who knows, probably arranged by the family. Think about it, with the Eldest Young Master’s status, how could a woman with no significant background marry in?"

"That makes sense, just like the Second Young Master and his fiancée. Let me tell you, I even heard the Second Young Master telling Miss Sheng that this month’s money had been transferred to her card!"

Being part of a powerful family alliance looks glamorous and bright, but in reality, it’s just that.

Sometimes, it might not even compare to the happiness and joy of an ordinary family.
