Shattered by Fate, Restored by Truth
Chapter 44: Ask Clearly Face to Face
CHAPTER 44: CHAPTER 44: ASK CLEARLY FACE TO FACE
Fu Shihan has indeed seldom returned to the Fu Residence in these three years; he could count the number of times he saw Yangyang each year on one hand. Only adults understand the reason behind this, but it is unclear to children.
Back then, Fu Shihan deceived and cajoled Su Wanxin into having this child, but he did not expect her reaction during pregnancy to be so severe.
She vomited throughout the entire pregnancy, tormenting herself until she became much thinner. On the day of giving birth, Fu Shihan accompanied her to the delivery room. Watching her cry in pain, her cries hoarse, he then saw the birth of the wrinkled little treasure she cherished immensely.
Before Yangyang was born, Fu Shihan was Su Wanxin’s everything. But after Yangyang’s birth, she devoted all her thoughts to Yangyang, and Fu Shihan, feeling neglected, was naturally upset, even becoming so jealous he did not want to hold the little fellow who had stolen Su Wanxin’s attention.
In the blink of an eye, three years had passed.
"I’m not," Fu Shihan came back to his senses, patting Yangyang’s head. "But I don’t know why she doesn’t come back to see you. Maybe we should go find her one day and ask her in person."
"Can we?"
"Of course."
"Great!"
Fu Shihan coaxed him to sleep and went to the company the next morning with Fu Shili. Meanwhile, the servants who gossiped behind his back were all driven out of the Fu Family and would never have the chance to return.
Since returning to Imperial Capital, Su Wanxin saw Fu Shihan about once a week. Therefore, after having dinner with Fu Shihan, she did not expect to see his car outside her office the next day after work.
Su Wanxin, somewhat dazed, scratched her head, approached the car, got in, and asked, "President Fu, have you been quite free lately?"
"It’s not that I want to see you."
"Then who is it?"
"Sheng Qian." Fu Shihan started the car, replying indifferently, "She’s the lead actress in a movie that premieres tonight nationwide. Fearing she might not be strong enough, she wants us there for support."
Hearing this, Su Wanxin couldn’t help but sneer inwardly.
Sheng Qian, not strong enough? That’s the top-tier popular actress in the entertainment industry! If her fans heard what you just said, they’d have your head!
"Isn’t Sheng Qian an artist from your company? Criticizing your own artist like this as the boss, is that really okay?"
"There’s nothing wrong with that, it’s all the truth. Me being there to support her is her honor."
The premiere was at eight o’clock that evening. Fu Shihan leisurely took Su Wanxin for some shopping, bought some clothes, had a simple meal, and then slowly made their way to the venue. By the time they arrived, Lu Ci, the idle one, had already shown up.
They first met backstage, where the air conditioning was too strong. Upon entering, the cold made Fu Shihan cough a couple of times, which provoked Sheng Qian’s teasing.
"Yo, Brother Han, caught a cold? Or is someone missing you?"
"Someone missing him?" Lu Ci seemed to hear a joke. "Someone cursing him is more like it."
Sheng Qian: "That’s true... Brother Han, what unkind things have you done recently?"
Fu Shihan looked at her blandly and answered, "Announcing the termination of your contract at your premiere, does that count?"
"Brother, I was wrong. Believe me, I can still make money for you for a few more years, I’m really useful!"
Fu Shihan didn’t bother listening to her excuses anymore, and took Su Wanxin and Lu Ci out to mingle.
Fu Shihan rarely attends such events, and in the industry, the only artist currently worth his personal appearance to support was Sheng Qian. Hence, rumors about him and Sheng Qian spread from time to time, as the two of them, whether in terms of family background or looks, were perfectly matched.
