Jiang Mujin didn’t want to listen anymore and hung up.
Fu Ciyu’s lips curled into a slight smile: “Serves him right!”
Qu Wanwan and Mo Xiaofei bought a lot of clothes, including some for Fu Ciyu, Qu Muqing, and Qu Cheng’an.
“Does your brother really like women who wear dresses?”
“Why would I lie to you?”
Qu Wanwan put the clothes in the car, then asked Mo Xiaofei: “Want some afternoon dessert?”
“Yes!”
“Let’s go then.”
The dessert shop in the afternoon was a bit crowded, so they chose a window seat.
But as soon as they sat down, a man sat down with them.
Qu Wanwan looked up, displeased. For a moment, she felt the man looked very familiar, yet she couldn’t place where she’d seen him.
He had a pair of narrow, long phoenix eyes, carrying an inherent air of nobility; the corners of his eyes were slightly upturned, seeming to charm everyone.
“Miss Qu, hello.”
Qu Wanwan snapped back to reality and politely asked: “Who are you? Do you know me?”
“I have the honor of knowing you.” The man gave a charming smile.
Mo Xiaofei grinned: “Handsome guy, do you have a girlfriend?”
“Not at the moment.”
“No way——”
Mo Xiaofei’s eyes lit up, but Qu Wanwan stepped on her foot.
This woman is flirting everywhere, without considering who’s across from her, what kind of person he is.
“Sir, excuse me, we don’t know you, please leave.” Qu Wanwan’s voice turned cold.
“Miss Qu, don’t you want to save Fu Ciyu’s life?”
Hearing this, Qu Wanwan’s face changed drastically. Her cold gaze fixed on him: “Who are you, exactly?”
“Who I am is unimportant. What matters is that I can save Fu Ciyu.”
“We don’t need your help!” She wouldn’t trust anyone to save him.
“It seems Miss Qu doesn’t truly like Fu Ciyu——”
Qu Wanwan was about to scold him when she saw the woman beside her throw a punch, landing squarely on the man’s face.
“Shut your foul mouth!”
The man was stunned, seemingly not expecting Mo Xiaofei to strike first.
“Weren’t you just into me?” He could tell the woman liked him.
“I like your grandpa! Are we clear? You’re nowhere near as good as the man I like. Go look in a mirror!”
The man’s eyes turned cold, his voice dropping: “I’m not handsome?”
“I can’t see it. Who told you you were handsome?” Mo Xiaofei, this fearless woman, had gone crazy.
“And, do you not know that ruining other people’s relationships is something only a wicked person would do? Little Wan and Fu Ye are so good together, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I’ll sew your mouth shut.”
The man looked at her incessantly chattering mouth, really wanting to shut it.
“Miss Qu, we will meet again.”
The man got up and left, casting one last deep look at Qu Wanwan.
Qu Wanwan searched her mind for everyone she knew, but couldn’t find any information about this man.
“Do you know him?” Mo Xiaofei asked.
Qu Wanwan shook her head: “I don’t, but he feels so familiar.”
“Isn’t he your old friend?”
“Get lost!”
Who is he——
Back at Yuyuan that night, Qu Wanwan told Fu Ciyu about the incident.
Fu Ciyu also frowned: “Do you remember his appearance?”
“A little——”
“Draw him.”
“Now?”
“Yes, Wanwan, it’s very important.”
After hearing this, Qu Wanwan went upstairs to the study to get paper and pen.
Qu Wanwan sat at the large desk, pencil in hand, her brows furrowed.
She closed her eyes, trying to recall the day’s events.
Fu Ciyu stood beside her, his gaze fixed on Qu Wanwan.
He knew this man’s appearance was no coincidence. And the mention of “saving Fu Ciyu’s life” put Fu Ciyu on high alert.
Qu Wanwan finally opened her eyes and began to sketch on the paper.
The pencil moved lightly across the paper, lines gradually outlining a man’s silhouette.
“Is it him?” Fu Ciyu’s voice was low.
“You know him?”
“I’ve seen him a few times. We have some… disagreements.”
“Is it troublesome?”
“Not exactly troublesome.”
If Fu Ciyu felt it was troublesome, then it was truly a big problem.
Jiang Mujin, handling her daughter Yuyu’s enrollment, was particularly noticeable in the crowd.
“Headmaster, I entrust my daughter to your care.”
The headmaster looked at the two identical faces in surprise: “Jiang Zong got married?”
“Yes, the wedding is in a while. I’ll invite you to have some celebratory drinks then.”
The headmaster smiled: “Certainly, I’ll be there.”
Qu Muqing hadn’t gone home for three days. It was said that the old man hadn’t returned either.
Jiang Jingzhi neither divorced nor left the Qu residence. The old man was very annoyed, so he stayed at his place.
He’d just come back today to get some things, and saw Shen Man here.
The people in the living room didn’t seem to notice his presence. Just as the maid was about to speak, he put his index finger to his lips.
The maid quickly retreated.
The sound of two people arguing came from inside.
“Manman, why are you here?” Jiang Jingzhi looked at Shen Man in surprise.
Shen Man sneered: “Why am I here? Don’t you know in your heart?”
“I don’t understand what you’re saying?”
“If you still consider yourself my mother, then help me!”
Jiang Jingzhi was puzzled: “Help you with what?”
“Get the Qu family’s assets.”
Jiang Jingzhi’s eyes widened in terror and dismay: “You’re crazy! You actually want to——”
“If you hadn’t revealed your identity, I wouldn’t be like this today.”
“Shen Man, you know how I treated you! I gave you all my love, and I made Wanwan yield to you in everything. In the end, you actually want to harm the Qu family——”
“Treat me well? That’s because you owe me. You brought me into this world, but didn’t let me enjoy any fatherly love, and even the little motherly love was stolen.”
Jiang Jingzhi spoke with difficulty: “Stop it. I won’t help you.”
“If you don’t help me, I will make your scandals public.”
“You——” Jiang Jingzhi’s face changed drastically. He had raised a viper.
“Such big talk.”
Qu Muqing slowly entered the living room, making both of them freeze.
Jiang Jingzhi let out a bitter smile: “Muqing——”
“Ms. Jiang, she wants you to help her destroy the Qu family, right?” Qu Muqing’s eyes held a hint of a smile, but it didn’t reach his eyes.
Hearing this, Jiang Jingzhi quickly shook her head: “No——”
“I didn’t——”
“I wouldn’t do that.”
Qu Muqing sneered: “Then——”
“What if she blackmails you with your past? Will you still insist?”
“I——”
Seeing this, a cold glint flashed in Qu Muqing’s eyes: “Ms. Jiang, you also have compassion?”
“Muqing! I don’t!”
“It doesn’t matter, whether you do or not. But I remind you, my father is determined to divorce, there’s no turning back. Don’t have any illusions.”
After Qu Muqing finished speaking, Jiang Jingzhi’s face turned pale and weak: “You——”
“You want me and your father to divorce so much? You don’t care that I’m your mother at all?”
“What about you?”
“When you were having an affair, did you consider me and Wanwan? Did you?”
“Where were you when Wanwan almost died in the hospital?”
“Where were you when she needed her mother?”
“Where were you when she was sad and disappointed?”
