After Prison, She Shocks the World-Chapter 63: Even Cursing Oneself So Harshly

The atmosphere at the dinner table was pleasant.

After a day of tiresome travel, Elder Jiang felt a weight lift from his chest upon seeing Fu Bing. Once he had eaten his fill, drowsiness overcame him.

Jian Yao tactfully helped Elder Jiang back to his room to rest. Before leaving, he subtly glanced at Wu Shi.

Ren Ye had Ren Zhi take Wu Shi to sit nearby.

Wu Shi chose a spot where he could still see Fu Bing and sat down.

Ren Zhi chuckled. "Brother Shi, you don’t need to be so tense. My Second Uncle has only ever loved one woman in his life, and that’s Miss Fu’s mother."

Wu Shi couldn’t even be bothered to spare him a glance.

It wasn’t as if Fu Bing and her mother were biologically related. Who knew if Ren Ye’s affections would shift?

Ren Ye said gently, "Thank you for saving me."

"Besides responding to Ren Zhi’s invitation, I also wanted to learn about my mother’s past from an old friend of hers. Would you be willing to tell me?"

"She still preferred to keep quiet about everything," Ren Ye pondered for a moment. "If she didn’t wish to speak of it, neither will I. She, like you, was a very charming person, liked by many."

Fu Bing wasn’t surprised by this answer. Her mother rarely mentioned her past. She was gentle and soft-spoken, but very opinionated.

Ren Ye saw a flash of disappointment in Fu Bing’s eyes.

"She called me when you were in your senior year of high school and gave me five hundred thousand to work with. Currently, I’ve established a company. I’ll have someone send the detailed income statement to you later. If you’ve formed your own team, you can send someone to take over."

Fu Bing was stunned for a long while before regaining her composure. "Please continue to manage it for me."

"Alright. Over the years, that five hundred thousand has multiplied many times over. By a conservative estimate, it’s already worth twenty million. This amount might not seem substantial to you, but it’s the future your mother paved for you, a testament to her unending love."

"She was very ill at that time. I..." Fu Bing’s voice became so hoarse she could hardly speak. "I never imagined she would neglect her own treatment to give you the money."

She not only left me with a way to make a living but also encouraged me to act and to find my real family. She herself had been abandoned by her family, yet she hadn’t wanted me to be without relatives.

Fu Bing’s eyes turned red as she fought back the tears welling up.

Ren Ye’s heart ached unbearably.

If Fu Ya hadn’t been so proud, she might still be alive. If she had truly lived as most people do, she wouldn’t have become such a vivid and impactful person.

"Later, I’ll find a suitable apartment in my name. You can consider it your home in Jiangnan. If you decide to stay in Jiangnan long-term, you can also bring your mother back. She’s been away from home for so many years; she must miss it terribly."

"I don’t have plans for a long-term stay at the moment. I came this time to accompany an injured friend. Once she recovers, I’ll return."

"Consider it your commission for saving me."

Fu Bing didn’t refuse again.

「Downstairs at Jingyun Hotel.」

Ren Yue was stopped at the entrance to the top floor.

Ren Yue demanded, "I’m my Second Uncle’s biological niece! Why won’t you let me up?"

"These are President Ren’s orders. Please, Miss Ren, don’t make things difficult for us."

Seeing the bodyguards were unyielding, Ren Yue called Ren Ye’s phone.

Ren Ye didn’t answer, letting it ring.

Fu Bing sipped her tea quietly, saying nothing.

Ren Zhi, approaching the elevator, faintly heard Ren Yue’s voice.

Worried about disturbing his Second Uncle and Fu Bing, he hurried over.

Wu Shi followed. freewebnoveℓ.com

When Ren Yue saw Ren Zhi approaching, a triumphant smirk flashed in her eyes.

But seeing Wu Shi close behind him, her face instantly paled.

The image of Wu Shi injuring over twenty bodyguards outside Ren Ye’s hospital room remained her constant nightmare. Why was this man so persistent, like a lingering ghost?

Ren Zhi said, "Second Uncle and Miss Fu are discussing important matters and don’t want to be disturbed. Whatever you need to say can wait until Second Uncle gets home."

"By then, it’ll be too late!" Ren Yue mustered her courage, glanced at Wu Shi, and whispered, "Fu Bing saved Gu Sining on the day she arrived in Jiangnan. Now the Gu Family is in complete disarray, and Fu Ning has been taken away for investigation too. She saved Second Uncle; who’s next to be taken in?"

Ren Zhi was rendered speechless by her wild imagination. "Fu Ning was taken away because she’s closely connected to Zhou Zhizhuo’s case. Even if Miss Fu hadn’t come to Jiangnan, once Zhou Zhizhuo fell, those implicated would have been affected regardless."

"I think Fu Bing has completely fooled you! When you end up in prison, don’t blame me for not warning you!"

"You’re not a child anymore; don’t speak so recklessly." Ren Zhi truly had no way to handle his sister. She was headstrong and spoke her mind too freely.

Wu Shi stared coldly at Ren Yue. "Do you know why Ren Ye didn’t choose you?"

"Isn’t it just because he looks down on me for being a girl?"

"He looks down on you because you’re stupid, malicious, and ignorant. Don’t you think it’s strange that you’re of marriageable age, yet no one has sought a marriage alliance with you, even considering your Second Uncle’s status?"

Wu Shi deliberately jabbed at Ren Yue’s sore spot.

Ren Zhi, unable to bear it, said, "Brother Shi, please stop."

"You should have slapped some sense into her long ago. Nothing is more sobering than a slap to the face."

Ren Yue’s face flushed crimson. Afraid Wu Shi might actually hit her, she scurried away dejectedly.

Wu Shi glanced in Fu Bing’s direction, then had Mu He come over to protect her.

He then removed his mask, changed out of his usual clothes, and went to Jian Yao’s room.

Jian Yao was still awake, practically buzzing with excitement.

Seeing Qin Jinhai, his eyes crinkled into a smile. "If Fu Ying finds out Wu Shi is you, she’ll definitely try to poison you!"

"She wouldn’t have the heart."

DAMN IT! This cursed stench of romance!

Jian Yao handed him a bottle of medicine. "This will make your fake scars look incredibly real. Without another solution to dilute it, you won’t be able to remove them at all."

"Thanks." Qin Jinhai pocketed the medicine.

Jian Yao asked, puzzled, "Why don’t you tell Fu Ying the truth? Knowing her temperament, she wouldn’t blame you if she found out. But by hiding it like this, she’ll be heartbroken when she eventually realizes you’re Wu Shi."

"She hates me."

Qin Jinhai thought of her drunken mutterings; those hate-filled words still made him too afraid to face her.

Jian Yao’s expression went blank for a few seconds. "...She’s a very understanding person, she can reason..."

"Just because she’s kind and magnanimous, does that mean she has to force herself to forgive me even while she hates me?"

Jian Yao fell silent.

Qin Jinhai said, "Don’t you dare let it slip in front of her."

"Of course not. My old man really likes her."

"Is he still thinking about having you marry her?" Qin Jinhai’s tone was icy.

Jian Yao felt as if his own neck was being targeted. He chuckled nervously. "Old folks just tend to overthink things. I have no other intentions towards Fu Ying. Really! I swear!"

When Fu Bing and Mu He returned to the villa, they saw a familiar car parked outside.

Fu Bing raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at the man leaning against the car.

The streetlight slanted across his shoulders, like an oil painting.

Mu He peeked furtively at Fu Bing, then at Qin Jinhai outside.

Qin Jinhai, his long legs crossed, walked over and opened the car door for Fu Bing.

Fu Bing glared at him. "You seem quite pleased to be here."

"If I’m not quick about pursuing my wife, am I supposed to wait for you and your hideous bodyguard to cuckold me?"

Mu He, avoiding eye contact and focusing inward, thought that Brother Han was becoming increasingly ruthless, even cursing himself so fiercely!
