Fu Yan Ting did not know if Yan Xi was feigning ignorance or truly didn't understand what he meant.
Fu Yan Ting's gaze was fixed on Yan Xi. Since Yan Xi was unwilling to respond directly, Fu Yan Ting didn't force her.
Currently, her favorability towards him had dropped. Fu Yan Ting was well aware of this, so he had to be completely compliant with Yan Xi, re-establish his position in her heart, and make her give up the idea of divorce.
Suddenly, Fu Yan Ting's phone rang. He glanced at it and then walked out of the ward to answer it.
Yan Xi gave a wry smile.
This call was definitely from Shi Wen Wen. Otherwise, why would he avoid her and go out to answer the phone?
Actually, it wouldn't make much difference to Yan Xi even if Fu Yan Ting didn't go out to answer the phone. Yan Xi had already made up her mind to divorce Fu Yan Ting and would no longer have feelings for him.
After leaving the ward, Fu Yan Ting answered the call.
He spoke coldly, "Speak."
"Sir, I investigated and found that it was Miss Shi Wen Wen who kidnapped the young madam. However, the mastermind behind it, the one who hired the assassins, was her brother, Shi Kai Nan."
Fu Yan Ting's eyes gradually turned cold.
So, he had misunderstood Yan Xi. Yan Xi had indeed been kidnapped.
It was just that Shi Wen Wen had begged Fu Yan Ting to spare the Shi family a few days ago. He thought the Shi family would lay low for a while. Now, it seemed Shi Kai Nan's ambition was far greater than he had imagined.
If that was the case, then he couldn't be blamed.
Fu Yan Ting sneered. Since they dared to kidnap Yan Xi, they would have to pay the price for their actions.
After hanging up the phone, Fu Yan Ting didn't want to scare Yan Xi. He adjusted his emotions and then pushed open the ward door and walked in.
Upon entering, he saw Yan Xi already lying in bed asleep. Fu Yan Ting couldn't bear to disturb her. He pulled the covers up for Yan Xi and then tiptoed out.
What Fu Yan Ting didn't know was that the moment he left the room, Yan Xi opened her eyes. Staring blankly at the ceiling, she had lost all trace of sleepiness.
Yan Xi knew very well that if she brought up divorce with Fu Yan Ting like this, he wouldn't agree.
That's why she wanted to ask He Yun for help. However, He Yun was Fu Yan Ting's friend, and she didn't know if he would be willing to help her.
And Yi Yi, she had to rescue Yi Yi first, and then leave Yan Cheng with Yi Yi, leaving Fu Yan Ting behind.
Before Fu Yan Ting could settle the score with Shi Kai Nan, Shi Kai Nan proactively sought him out.
He knew very well that with Fu Yan Ting's capabilities, he would soon find out that he and Shi Wen Wen were responsible.
To avoid being passive, Shi Kai Nan took the initiative to contact Fu Yan Ting.
At the coffee shop.
Seeing Shi Kai Nan, Fu Yan Ting was expressionless, but inwardly he sneered.
He wondered where Shi Kai Nan got the courage to propose a meeting with him.
Coincidentally, he also had something to discuss with Shi Kai Nan. Since he was here, it was time to settle their accounts properly.
"Yan Ting, since we graduated from university, we've both been busy with our careers and haven't had time to meet for coffee."
"You wouldn't have asked to see me just for coffee. What do you want to say?"
Shi Kai Nan was surprised that Fu Yan Ting was so direct and didn't even bother with basic pleasantries.
However, this was quite in line with Fu Yan Ting's character.
Shi Kai Nan paused for a moment, then laughed.
Fu Yan Ting knew Shi Kai Nan's true nature, so he was well aware that Shi Kai Nan's invitation for coffee was not a simple matter.
He wanted to see what tricks Shi Kai Nan was planning.
"Yan Ting, to be honest, I hope you divorce Miss Yan and then marry Wen Wen."
Fu Yan Ting was not surprised by Shi Kai Nan's request.
After all, the Shi family was not what it used to be.
Although they still maintained a semblance of prosperity on the surface, the Shi family was now practically an empty shell.
Shi Kai Nan would definitely try to find a way to salvage the situation.
However, he hadn't expected Shi Kai Nan to be so ambitious and make such an unreasonable demand.
"What if I refuse?"
Fu Yan Ting asked indifferently.
"Yan Ting, we are friends. There are many things I don't want to make unpleasant. If you are unwilling, then don't blame me for being impolite."
Shi Kai Nan paused, then continued, "I know about the relationship between you and Miss Yan, but if you don't agree to my terms, I will reveal your secret to Miss Yan. Do you think Miss Yan will stay by your side if she finds out about your secret?"
Fu Yan Ting's expression turned extremely unpleasant, his eyes dark and fierce.
This Shi Kai Nan, after a few years, had grown bolder and dared to threaten him.
Since childhood, no one had ever dared to threaten Fu Yan Ting. Shi Kai Nan was definitively the first.
After speaking, Shi Kai Nan began to observe Fu Yan Ting's reactions. Seeing that Fu Yan Ting showed no reaction, he felt relieved.
Everyone has a weakness, and even Fu Yan Ting is no exception.
However, his weakness had been exploited by Shi Kai Nan.
He didn't believe that Fu Yan Ting wouldn't care about his reputation.
Even if Fu Yan Ting didn't care, he still had his grandmother.
That old lady cared a lot about such matters.
Moreover, if Fu Yan Ting's secret were exposed, it would affect the Fu Group and the Fu family. Fu Yan Ting would certainly not let such a small matter lead to a big loss.
It was just a woman, and he didn't seem to love Yan Xi that much.
Shi Kai Nan was confident that Fu Yan Ting would divorce Yan Xi and marry Shi Wen Wen.
Fu Yan Ting gave a faint smile and stood up to leave.
Shi Kai Nan didn't understand the meaning of that smile when Fu Yan Ting stood up and left.
He had a vague sense of foreboding in his heart.
But he quickly adjusted himself.
He was overthinking. Now, Fu Yan Ting wouldn't have any leverage over him, whereas he had learned Fu Yan Ting's secret and could use it to threaten him.
Watching Fu Yan Ting leave the coffee shop, Shi Kai Nan didn't rush to leave. Instead, he took out his phone and dialed a number.
The call was answered after one ring.
The person on the other end asked, "How did things go?"
"Don't worry, Fu Yan Ting will definitely yield."
"Among so many people, only you, the young master of the Shi family, do things that make me feel at ease. To achieve your goals, you would even sell out your own sister. You are destined for great things, and I admire you."
Hearing the other person say this, Shi Kai Nan, instead of being happy, became worried.
Fu Yan Ting's rise to power was definitely not due to luck.
He had capability.
Shi Kai Nan's meeting with Fu Yan Ting today was undoubtedly a showdown.
If Fu Yan Ting also had a powerful backer, then he, and even their Shi family, would not end well.
Shi Kai Nan, who had been feeling triumphant just moments ago, now began to worry.
He knew very well that Fu Yan Ting was not someone to be trifled with, and his actions today were a declaration of war.
