"Fu Yan Ting, must you be so cruel to me?"
Xia Shi Xue looked at Fu Yan Ting with teary eyes.
But Fu Yan Ting showed no pity.
He looked at Xia Shi Xue with the same indifferent gaze, then extended a hand. Although he said nothing more, his meaning was clear.
Xia Shi Xue suddenly laughed, a laugh tinged with desolation.
She obediently handed her phone to Fu Yan Ting.
Fu Yan Ting deleted all his photos from the phone, then found Yan Xi's WeChat and blocked her.
The actions were executed in one smooth motion, without a hint of hesitation.
After finishing these tasks, Fu Yan Ting returned Xia Shi Xue's phone to her.
He coldly commanded, "Don't do such futile things again. If I find out you trouble Yan Xi again, don't blame me for being impolite."
"Fu Yan Ting, you're a complete fool. You treat Yan Xi so well, but what about Yan Xi? Yan Xi doesn't love you at all. She can even hurt you again and again for other men."
As soon as Xia Shi Xue finished speaking, Fu Yan Ting tightly gripped her neck and said coldly, "I said, this is between her and me. If you don't want to die, you'd best mind your own business." kuAiδugg
Only at this moment did Xia Shi Xue realize that Fu Yan Ting had not changed at all. He was still the same fierce and heartless man he used to be.
He only restrained all his bad temper in front of Yan Xi, bestowing all his lifelong tenderness upon her alone.
Yan Xi didn't cherish him and still hurt the man who loved her so much.
Fu Yan Ting deleted the photos, and with them, he deleted Xia Shi Xue's love for Fu Yan Ting with a single click.
Xia Shi Xue vowed that from this moment on, she would no longer love Fu Yan Ting.
When Fu Yan Ting returned the phone to Xia Shi Xue, she closed her eyes, took a deep breath as if making a momentous decision, then slowly opened her eyes. She looked at Fu Yan Ting and said word by word, "Fu Yan Ting, you can leave. I don't want to see you anymore."
Fu Yan Ting scrutinized Xia Shi Xue thoughtfully.
Xia Shi Xue sneered and said, "Don't worry, I'll tell my grandfather that you're leaving, and it won't affect my grandfather's financing for you."
Hearing Xia Shi Xue's words, Fu Yan Ting left without another word, striding out with his long legs.
Seeing Fu Yan Ting leave so resolutely, Xia Shi Xue suddenly smiled.
How heartless could one be to be so cruel to someone with a terminal illness?
After Fu Yan Ting left, Xia Shi Xue's phone rang. She took it out and saw it was an unknown number, with the location showing Kyoto.
Xia Shi Xue hung up without a second thought.
The call came in again.
Xia Shi Xue hung up again.
Several times in a row, but the caller was persistent, seemingly determined to get through to Xia Shi Xue today.
Xia Shi Xue had no choice but to press the answer button.
The moment Xia Shi Xue answered the phone, the other party chuckled twice and said, "Miss Xia is finally willing to answer my call?"
Xia Shi Xue was taken aback, then asked, "Who are you?"
"Who I am is not important. What's important is that I can help you."
The person on the other end of the line spoke very gently.
Xia Shi Xue didn't know who the other party was and dared not rashly agree to cooperate.
"Miss Xia, I know you don't actually have cancer. It's just a minor issue that can be resolved with surgery. But you lied to Fu Yan Ting, saying you have cancer and only three months to live."
This was a secret known only to Xia Shi Xue and He Rui. Who was this person? How did they know?
Now, with the other party lurking in the shadows, Xia Shi Xue instantly became wary.
"Miss Xia, you don't need to guard against me. I'm calling you because I'm on your side and want to help you."
Although they hadn't met, the other party knew what Xia Shi Xue was thinking.
Recalling Fu Yan Ting's heartlessness just now, and hearing what the person on the phone said, Xia Shi Xue felt a flicker of interest.
Clutching the phone, she pondered for a moment before asking, "How will you help me?"
It seemed as if the person on the phone had anticipated that Xia Shi Xue would agree to cooperate.
The person on the other end instructed, "You can contact Mu Jing Chen. He is one of us. I have already discussed the plan with him, and he will tell you what to do."
"Who are you?"
"You cannot know who I am yet. When the time is right, and you need to know, you will naturally find out."
After speaking, the other party hung up without waiting for Xia Shi Xue's response.
Xia Shi Xue had always known about Mu Jing Chen's feelings for Yan Xi.
Moreover, Mu Jing Chen and Yan Xi were even engaged.
Therefore, Xia Shi Xue was unsure how credible this person's words were.
She remained patient and did not proactively contact Mu Jing Chen.
It wasn't until a week later, at the anniversary celebration of the Fu Corporation.
When Fu Yan Ting high-profilely attended with Yan Xi's hand in his, Xia Shi Xue's eyes were bloodshot with jealousy.
Xia Shi Xue knew very well that Fu Yan Ting loved Yan Xi. No matter how much Xia Shi Xue badmouthed Yan Xi, Fu Yan Ting would not abandon her.
The more Fu Yan Ting protected Yan Xi, the more Xia Shi Xue resented Yan Xi.
After much consideration, Xia Shi Xue decided to contact Mu Jing Chen.
To ensure Mu Jing Chen's help, Xia Shi Xue secretly took photos of Fu Yan Ting and Yan Xi.
Meanwhile, at the center of the banquet stage, Yan Xi suddenly stopped walking.
Seeing Yan Xi stop, Fu Yan Ting couldn't help but ask, "Are you tired? Shall we go back?"
"I'm fine. I'm not tired. I just feel like someone is taking pictures of us."
Yan Xi said softly.
Fu Yan Ting glanced at Yan Xi and replied indifferently, "Today is the anniversary celebration of the Fu Corporation's revival. Many media outlets are here. It's normal for them to take photos of us. Are you afraid Mu Jing Chen will see it, or do you not want to be on the trending list with me?"
Hearing Fu Yan Ting's sarcastic tone, Yan Xi knew he had misunderstood her meaning.
However, Yan Xi was too lazy to explain.
"You need to understand that the crisis at the Fu Corporation was entirely Mu Jing Chen's doing. You attending this event with me is entirely to salvage the Fu Corporation's reputation. So, even if you don't want to, you have to endure it. You owe me this."
Yan Xi knew that if she argued with Fu Yan Ting, he would bring up the matter from five years ago again.
Yan Xi didn't want to quibble with Fu Yan Ting, so she didn't defend herself when he spoke like that.
However, Yan Xi still had doubts. As the CEO ofYC Corporation, being photographed by the media was common, and Yan Xi was used to it. But she had sensed someone stealthily taking pictures just now.
