Chapter 158: Chapter 158: The Scandalous Couple

Fu Yu’s face was filled with reluctance.

She had managed to get close to Qi Yunqian again these past few days because she had forged a diagnosis certificate for herself with moderate depression.

Before the banquet these past few days, Qi Yunqian treated her just as well as he used to treat Song Shiwei before she appeared.

But this good time had not lasted long before it was disrupted.

All thanks to that bitch, Song Shiwei, and that nosy older brother!

If not for them, how could Yunqian have abandoned her again?

The more Fu Yu thought about it, the more she couldn’t get over it.

She wanted to immediately teach Song Shiwei a lesson and vent this pent-up resentment.

Fu Yu pondered hard, her gaze passing through the banquet hall’s floor-to-ceiling windows and landing on the garden pond outside, sparking an idea in her mind.

Fu Yu sneered and walked toward the direction of Song Shiwei and Shen Yanhe.

-

In a corner of the banquet hall.

Shen Yanhe took a sip of juice and asked Song Shiwei, who was drinking heavily, "Why are Fu Yu and Qi Yunqian so inseparable, and what’s this about Fu Yu’s depression?"

Earlier, when Song Shiwei and Qi Yunqian were arguing, they hadn’t been careful to keep their voices down.

Shen Yanhe, who had good hearing, had overheard the content of their argument.

She found it odd since Fu Yu had been hopping around in front of her just a few days ago, so how could she suddenly have depression?

Song Shiwei sneered, recalling the scene a few days ago when she came home to find Fu Yu sitting in the living room with Qi Yunqian applying medicine on her, sending a chill through her heart.

"Who knows?" Her eyes were filled with icy disdain, and her expression was full of disgust: "A few days ago, she somehow got her hands on a diagnosis certificate for moderate depression after she’d drawn a cut on her own wrist and threatened to kill herself."

"Qi Yunqian then took her home and took great care of her."

Song Shiwei’s face looked as if she had swallowed ten cockroaches, her knuckles white as she gripped her glass: "During her time at the Qi family, whenever I needed Qi Yunqian for something and called him away, she would immediately show tendencies of ’self-harm’ to call him back."

"Time and time again, just as disgusting and annoying as a toad, I moved back to the Song family’s old house this morning, leaving that villa for the two of them to mess around in."

She had indeed given up on Qi Yunqian long ago, but seeing him abandon her time and again for Fu Yu, she still felt waves of chill and disgust washing over her.

Song Shiwei’s eyes shimmered with mocking irony.

She still remembered how Qi Yunqian had previously professed his pursuit of her and begged for her forgiveness, time and again.

But how long had it been? He was entangled with Fu Yu once again.

A dog can’t change its habit of eating shit.

Shen Yanhe also felt speechless about Qi Yunqian, such an indecisive man.

She momentarily put herself in Song Shiwei’s shoes.

Her fist clenched instantly.

Tsk.

It seemed she needed to arrange to trap Qi Yunqian in a sack soon.

She wouldn’t be appeased until she gave him a good beating.

Without hesitation, Shen Yanhe joined Song Shiwei in her venting session.

The two were having a lively rant when Fu Yu approached and stood in front of Song Shiwei, looking down at her with a face full of arrogance: "Come out, I need to talk to you."

Song Shiwei fell silent, raised her eyebrows at Fu Yu, and scoffed, "I have nothing to talk about with you."

"Really?" Fu Yu’s lips curled into a malicious smile, "Don’t you want to know why the Song family suddenly went bankrupt all those years ago?"

Song Shiwei’s face changed drastically, and she stood up abruptly to face her: "What do you know?"

Fu Yu turned and walked towards the outside, "If you want to know, then follow me."

Song Shiwei stood still, her eyebrows tightly furrowed and her face full of conflict.

During her two years in prison, the Song family, once equivalent to the Xia Family, rapidly collapsed and declared bankruptcy before moving abroad.

Yet at the time, she did not understand why the Song family had gone bankrupt.

This had always been a thorn in her heart.

Shen Yanhe looked at her and asked, "Shiwei, do you want me to go with you?"

Song Shiwei shook her head, her gaze somber, as she stepped forward to follow, "No need, I’ll go by myself."

She wanted to know the reason behind the Song family’s sudden bankruptcy back then.

Shen Yanhe’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, feeling an inexplicable unease, and silently followed behind the two.

-

Fu Yu and Song Shiwei arrived next to the pond in the garden.

They stopped, and Fu Yu looked from the garden’s French windows toward the banquet hall, where she saw Qi Yunqian talking with guests while holding a wine glass; a dark gleam flashed in her eyes.

She turned back, her eyes full of malice as she looked at Song Shiwei, "Song Shiwei, I admit, you indeed have some ability. After spending two years in prison, you could still snatch Brother Yunqian away from me."

"Seeing me unable to attain the love I desire, you must be quite pleased, aren’t you?"

Song Shiwei sneered coldly with a twist of her lips.

"There’s nothing to be pleased about." She looked coldly at Fu Yu, her eyes full of annoyance, "I have long lost any feelings for Qi Yunqian. If you want to snatch him, feel free to take him any time."

"All I want to know now is the reason behind the Song family’s bankruptcy at that time."

"Sure." Fu Yu nodded agreeably, beckoning her closer, "Come closer to me, and I’ll tell you."

Song Shiwei moved closer to her without hesitation.

Fu Yu’s lips curled into a malicious smile, she leaned close to Song Shiwei, her voice low and sinister as if a snake hissing, "The reason for the Song family’s bankruptcy was all because of you~"

"You, Song Shiwei, were the jinx of the Song family. After you went to prison, your mother died from a sudden cerebral infarction in her grief, and your father died in a car accident due to his distraction, leaving only your brother."

"Your brother was really pitiful at that time, facing both the Song family and external predators all by himself at just over twenty, he had no way to resist. Out of desperation, he came to ask Brother Yunqian for help."

"But at that time I was sick and staying at Brother Yunqian’s place. He was buying medicine for me when your brother came. He met me instead."

Song Shiwei’s pupils dilated sharply.

Fu Yu gave a low, ominous chuckle, "Guess what I made him do? I made him kneel down and beg me. As long as he was willing to kneel and beg, I would let Brother Yunqian help him."

"Your brother, indeed, knelt down, kneeling in the heavy rain for a whole day and night, hahaha!"

Her voice was soft yet pierced through Song Shiwei’s heart like a sharp sword.

Her mind blank, Song Shiwei pushed Fu Yu away almost subconsciously and raised her hand to slap her face.

But as she pushed Fu Yu away, the corners of Fu Yu’s mouth curled up in a triumphant smile. Soon, her face showed a panicked expression, and she screamed as she fell backward into the pond, "Ah! Brother Yunqian, save me!!"

Song Shiwei felt ice cold all over, her body trembling slightly, her hands clenched tightly into fists as she stood on the shore, coldly watching Fu Yu struggle in the water.

She didn’t go to save her.

People like Fu Yu are better off dead!

The commotion quickly attracted the attention of the guests.

At that moment, a tall and muscular figure swept past her, jumped into the pond, and rescued the flailing Fu Yu.

Qi Yunqian helped Fu Yu ashore, his face dark and slightly angry as he looked at Song Shiwei standing on the shore, not asking for reasons but immediately lashing out, "Song Shiwei! I didn’t expect you to be so malicious!"

"I’ve already distanced myself from Fu Yu! Why would you still strike at her!"
