Chapter 34

"Fu Chenyan, we broke up a long time ago. Stop calling me 'wife.' I feel disgusted just looking at you now; you make me physically repulsed by the very word 'wife'!"

Looking at this face, her internal organs churned along with her emotions.

Her stomach cramped uncontrollably, wave after wave.

Shu Xia's face turned even paler.

Fu Chenyan's handsome face was full of shock, "Wife, do you know what you are saying?"

How had Shu Xia suddenly changed?

This really wasn't just ordinary anger.

"Get out!"

Shu Xia pressed her lips tightly together, but in the end, she couldn't stop herself from biting out this word from between her teeth.

"Shu Xia, you know I never say 'break up' lightly. You keep saying it over and over again—aren't you afraid that we will really go our separate ways?" Fu Chenyan had lost his patience.

Fu Chenyan said this sentence almost in a roar.

"It would be best if you never appear in front of me from now on," Shu Xia said in a heavy tone.

The sunny boy from the past had turned into the hypocritical scumbag of today; her entire youth had been fed to the dogs!

She had to wait, wait until his mother was hospitalized again and needed a large sum of money; she wanted to see what he would do then.

Fu Chenyan took a deep breath, pointed at Shu Xia, and said, "Don't regret this!"

After saying this, he turned around in a rage and strode away.

Watching Fu Chenyan run off into the distance, the suffocating feeling in Shu Xia's heart gradually calmed down.

This scene fell into the eyes of Qiao Muting.

Standing in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, Qiao Muting had seen the emotional entanglement between Shu Xia and Fu Chenyan through the bright floor-to-ceiling windows.

His gaze gradually turned as cold as ice.

He sent a message to Shu Xia: No need to wait for me.

"You are Qiao, right? Just now was merely a misunderstanding; I have already forgiven that reckless young lady."

Lin Miao came out of the elevator and was immediately drawn to Qiao Muting; he was simply too eye-catching.

Not wanting to miss a rare opportunity, she trotted in her high heels to behind Qiao Muting.

Chen Xiuyue saw Lin Miao go to find Qiao Muting and did not stop her. It was rare for her daughter to like someone, and this person was someone the Lin Family wanted to befriend; it would be even better if he could become her son-in-law.

Qiao Muting turned his head, his ice-cold gaze glancing at Lin Miao, with a hint of severity between his stern brows.

Lin Miao was startled, "Qiao... Qiao?"

Qiao Muting remained expressionless and walked straight past Lin Miao.

Lin Miao's face turned pale instantly; she had been ignored!

Back in university, she was the campus belle and had many pursuers; no one had ever ignored her directly.

Chen Xiuyue hurried over, "Miaomiao."

"Mom, does Qiao not like me? I spoke to him, and he completely ignored me." Lin Miao's eyes turned red. She had always been proud and never took the initiative with men. This was the first time she had taken the initiative to speak to a man like this, only to be ignored—how was this any different from being slapped in the face?

"Perhaps Qiao is busy and didn't have time to talk to you. I saw his expression wasn't very good; maybe something just happened to make him unhappy. Don't overthink it. Your father said he is going to Qiao Group in two days to discuss a partnership; I'll have your father take you then," Chen Xiuyue comforted her.

Under Chen Xiuyue's comfort, Lin Miao regained her confidence.

——

An hour later, Lin Miao found an opportunity to call Fu Chenyan.

"Did you see Shu Xia? Did you help me teach her a lesson? My face still hurts from where she hit me. I don't know what kind of wrong medicine she took today."
