A Substitute Bride With Multiple Identities
Chapter 150: Jealous?

Chapter 150: Chapter 150: Jealous?

Shen Yanhe stuffed a soup dumpling into his mouth and, with downcast eyes devoid of expression, he said, "Uncle, do you want me to let Auntie off the hook?"

"No, no, no, not at all. She kidnapped you, and it serves her right to go to jail! I’m already on my way to sue her for divorce, and after that, her affairs will have nothing to do with me!"

Shen Guowei desperately tried to sever his ties with Gandan Xue.

That foolish woman had nearly ruined him!

How could he possibly let Shen Yanhe let her off the hook?

"The company has already gone bankrupt and been liquidated. I will transfer the money your dad invested with me to your bank account, and I will leave the country in a few days."

Shen Guowei, mopping the cold sweat from his forehead, pleaded, "Yanhe, for your grandmother’s sake, could you ask Fu Yanhe to spare me this one time?"

"I promise I’ll keep my distance and never bother you again."

He was really scared.

Fu Yanhe was ruthless, leaving him no way out.

In just three days, the stock market crashed and the company was liquidated.

Having no one to turn to, he had to accept the outcome and quickly liquidated his personal assets to keep some money on hand.

He couldn’t make it in the country anymore; he had to go abroad.

A hint of mockery flashed in Shen Yanhe’s eyes. Just as he was about to speak, a cold voice sounded in his ear, "Focus on eating."

Immediately after, a slender and attractive hand held a peeled, clean egg and placed it in her hand.

Shen Yanhe grunted, took a bite of the egg, and asked somewhat indistinctly, "Don’t you want your daughter, Shen Yingying, anymore?"

"She’s grown up, an adult now. She can live her own life from now on."

Shen Yanhe snorted sarcastically, his eyes brimming with irony.

Before the incident, his uncle was praised as a good husband, a good father, a good man.

Now at the first sign of trouble, he abandoned his wife and child, fleeing faster than anyone else.

He was even worse than Gandan Xue. Gandan Xue at least tried to save her daughter, while he had been hiding from the beginning.

If it weren’t for today’s call, she wouldn’t even remember this person.

"Uncle, take care of yourself," Shen Yanhe said, losing interest in continuing the conversation. He hung up the phone with a click and focused on eating his breakfast.

After breakfast, Shen Yanhe wiped his mouth and looked at Fu Yanhe, asking, "Aren’t you going to the company today?"

"No," Fu Yanhe replied, wiping his hands clean with a wet wipe and glancing at her, saying, "I’m staying here with you."

Shen Yanhe hummed, a warmth touching his heart, mixed with sweetness.

The two had a very warm and harmonious day together.

Upon hearing the news on the way, Song Shiwei sent a message asking where Shen Yanhe was.

Shen Yanhe honestly told her she was at the hospital and sent her the location.

Song Shiwei had initially wanted to come and take care of her, but was deterred by Shen Yanhe’s mention that Fu Yanhe was also there.

After all, Fu Yanhe did not have a good reputation publicly, and Song Shiwei was afraid of him.

[Shiwei]: ...Alright, since he’s with you, I’m reassured. I’ll come visit you when he’s not around.

Shen Yanhe softly laughed and replied with a simple okay.

Meanwhile, as things were getting warmer and more intimate between Fu Yanhe and Shen Yanhe,

Xia Ran, envious of the private jets and people Fu Yanhe dispatched to save Shen Yanhe, furiously smashed everything in her room.

"That useless thing, Gandan Xue!" Xia Ran, full of hatred and rage, swept all the makeup from her vanity to the floor, smashing everything to pieces.

After kidnapping Shen Yanhe, she even managed to involve Fu Yanhe! It was bad enough that she involved him, but she even let her come back alive!

"Useless! All of them are useless!"

After smashing everything she could in the room, Xia Ran sat gasping on the carpet, her body trembling, her brows furrowed, her eyes filled with a somber darkness.

Gandan Xue was now useless.

What she needed to worry about now was whether Fu Yanhe would trace anything back to her through Gandan Xue.

She had already experienced Fu Yanhe’s tactics once and did not want to experience them a second time.

Her grandmother was urging her insistently, so she had to think of a way to get close to Fu Yanhe while clearing herself of any suspicions.

As Xia Ran pondered, her phone lying on the ground vibrated.

She picked up the phone to look.

It was a message from Xia’s mother.

["One week from now will be your grandfather’s 70th birthday. I have already sent the invitation card from the Fu Family to you; remember to give it to the Fu Family."]

Xia Ran’s eyes lit up.

She had been worrying about a valid reason to approach Fu Yanhe, and now the opportunity had presented itself.

This time she was smart; she did not call Fu Yanhe but instead called Wu Fang.

Hospital.

Wu Fang, who was standing outside the ward, answered the phone, and Xia Ran’s commanding voice rang out: "I have something very important to discuss with Ah He; hand him the phone."

Wu Fang hesitated for a moment, knocked on the hospital room door, and shook the phone in his hand: "Young Master, it’s Miss Xia’s call. She says she has something important to discuss with you."

Shen Yanhe, who was lying in bed editing videos on his phone, upon hearing this, subconsciously glanced at Fu Yanhe.

Fu Yanhe looked indifferently and stretched out his hand: "Give it here."

Shen Yanhe’s grip on the phone tightened somewhat. She pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, continued editing the video, and said nothing.

Fu Yanhe took the phone from Wu Fang, turned on the speaker, and calmly asked, "Go ahead, what is it?"

Xia Ran’s soft and sweet voice came through: "Ah He, I heard that Miss Shen was kidnapped. Is she alright?"

"With me here, she is naturally alright."

At the other end of the phone, upon hearing this, Xia Ran’s eyes revealed a trace of jealousy, her grip on the phone grew tighter, whitening her knuckles: "Ah He, don’t misunderstand, I am just concerned about Miss Shen."

"The reason I called is that my grandfather’s birthday is coming up next week. He specifically asked me to bring you."

"The invitation has already been given to me, shall I bring it to you in a couple of days?"

"No need," Fu Yanhe said flatly, "just give me the address, and I’ll have Wu Fang pick it up."

Xia’s grandfather and Fu’s grandfather had a good relationship.

Since Fu’s grandfather passed away, Xia’s grandfather rarely came out for activities because of sadness.

As a junior, it was only right and proper that he attend his birthday.

Xia Ran bit her lip bitterly, making one last struggle: "It’s such a hassle, let me bring it to you..."

"No need, Wu Fang will come to get it from you tomorrow."

After finishing, he directly cut off the call, not giving Xia Ran a chance to speak.

Listening to the busy tone coming from the phone, Xia Ran’s eyes turned dark, her chest heaved violently, gripping the phone even harder.

She couldn’t help but scream out loud and slammed her newly purchased phone hard onto the ground.

Hadn’t she just made one mistake?

Besides, Shen Yanhe was fine, and she had received her punishment!

Why was Fu Yanhe still treating her like this!

He hadn’t been like this before!

Xia Ran could not accept this polarized treatment.

This time, at her grandfather’s birthday banquet, she had to find a way to win over Fu Yanhe!

-

Fu Yanhe handed the phone back to Wu Fang, his peripheral vision caught Shen Yanhe secretly watching him.

A subtle smile flashed across his dark eyes as he turned his head, meeting her gaze.

Shen Yanhe blinked rapidly and quickly lowered her head to avoid his gaze.

Unable to resist smiling, Fu Yanhe asked softly, "Jealous?"
