Chapter 169: Chapter 169: You Don’t Have to Do This

When Fu Yanhe received the call from Fu Shuqin, he had just finished his rehabilitation training.

Sweat covered his forehead as he leaned on Shen Yanhe, gently catching his breath, while taking the phone Wu Fang handed him with his other hand to his ear.

Shen Yanhe also heard what Fu Shuqin said over the phone, but she did not speak, only silently supporting Fu Yanhe’s body with her own.

Her heart felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Fu Yanhe looked down at the fluffy little head nestled in his embrace, his strong arms tightly circling her slender, resilient waist without letting go.

The man breathed lightly, his voice low and composed as he countered, "Grandma, what did you just say? I didn’t catch that. Could you please repeat it?"

Fu Shuqin heard the panting over the phone, her face changed, and she immediately misunderstood what he and Shen Yanhe were doing indecently in broad daylight.

Her face darkened even more, blaming Shen Yanhe for leading Fu Yanhe astray.

Clenching the phone tightly, she said sternly with a serious face, "Go and get the divorce certificate with Shen Yanhe right now! Give Ranran an explanation!"

"You’ve seen all of Xia Ran, a maiden! If you don’t take responsibility for her, how is she supposed to marry someone else in the future!"

Upon hearing her words, Fu Yanhe understood that Xia Ran had gone to complain to the old lady.

His eyes slightly narrowed, a cold hint flickered in those deep black eyes, his tone indifferent, "Old lady, I think you’re getting senile."

"It wasn’t me who saw all of Xia Ran, nor am I the one responsible for her. Her body is too repulsive; looking at her, I’d rather look at the maggots in the toilet."

"Also," he drew the soft, delicate body in his arms even closer, a sharpness emerged from the corner of his eyes, "I will not divorce Shen Yanhe."

"Don’t bring this up again."

Fu Shuqin had been used to despotism all her life, yet Fu Yanhe kept defying her because of a woman, time and time again!

Fu Shuqin felt dizzy with anger, her face incredibly ugly as she said darkly, "This marriage, whether you want to or not, you’ll have to divorce!"

She threatened him, "If you don’t divorce, then don’t even think about sitting in the president’s seat of the Fu Corporation!"

"I’ll give you three days to think it over. Whether you want that woman or the president’s position!"

For Fu Shuqin, Fu Yanhe’s current status was all because he sat in the position of president of the Fu Corporation.

Without that position, he would have no capital to defy her.

Having said that, Fu Shuqin hung up the call with a snap.

Xia Ran’s face changed slightly upon hearing her words, and she hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her, "Grandma Fu, please calm down, talk it over with Ah-Hè, he will understand you."

"Ah-Hè has always listened to you since he was little, just talk to him properly."

If Fu Yanhe lost his status in the Fu Family,

then what was the point of her marrying into the Fu Family?

However, Fu Yanhe would surely know which choice is the best for him, right?

"He listens? He doesn’t listen to shit!" Fu Shuqin gasped for breath, her chest heaving, her hand holding the phone trembling continually, "You have no idea, when I just called, he was actually doing that kind of thing with Shen Yanhe, that vixen, in the middle of the day!"

"Now he’s completely bewitched by that vixen! How could he still listen to me?"

Jealousy flickered in Xia Ran’s eyes, but her voice remained gentle and soothing as she comforted Fu Shuqin.

With her consolation, Fu Shuqin’s emotions calmed down somewhat.

Just then, the phone rang.

Fu Yanhe had called back.

With a sneer, Fu Shuqin pointed at the phone and said, "Look, just a moment ago he refused anyone but that woman, and as soon as I bring up the fact that he can’t be president if he wants that woman, he immediately calls back to beg for mercy, right?"

Heh, all men are the same!

Xia Ran also spoke softly, "Ah-Hè will surely know which choice is the correct one."

Raising her chin slightly, Fu Shuqin straightened her posture, answered the call, and even purposefully turned on the speakerphone, "You’ve figured it out so quickly? Since that’s the case, then go tomorrow and get the divor—"

Before she could finish speaking, Fu Yanhe’s indifferent voice interrupted her.

"I’ve indeed thought it through."

"I want her, and as for the president position of the Fu Corporation, let whoever wants it, take it."

As soon as the words fell, he snapped the phone shut.

A twisted expression flickered across Xia Ran’s face, nearly failing to maintain her usual gentle demeanor.

Fu Shuqin’s head buzzed, a fury racing to her brain, trembling with rage as she violently threw her phone away: "The audacity! How dare he! How dare he!"

He actually dared! For the sake of a woman, to give up the position of president of the Fu Corporation!

It’s an outrage!

Xia Ran looked heartbroken and distressed, yet she still comforted Fu Shuqin: "Grandma Fu, let it go, since Yanhe likes Shen Yanhe so much, let’s just bless them."

Fu Shuqin grew even angrier, a ball of fury lodged in her chest, burning fiercely.

"No! I do not agree!" Su Lan was also extremely angry upon hearing Fu Yanhe’s words.

She sat down beside Fu Shuqin with a stern face and spoke, "Old Madam, I have an idea."

"If Yanhe refuses to divorce, you could talk to that woman."

"I’ve heard before, that woman came from the countryside, even bringing along a sick younger brother, a burden. Now she’s clinging to Yanhe, probably for the money."

Su Lan’s face was full of contempt: "That kind of woman is shallow. Just throw some money at her, and won’t that send her packing?"

Fu Shuqin’s face was somber, and she said nothing for a long time.

She had met with Shen Yanhe a few times before and knew that she was not an easy opponent.

On the surface, she appeared soft and tender, but in reality, she was thorny to the touch.

But this time, Fu Yanhe truly managed to make her angry.

She was determined to have him and Shen Yanhe divorce!

"I will handle this matter," Fu Shuqin said darkly, "rest assured, I will give a proper explanation to the Xia Family."

Su Lan was satisfied, smiling and nodding: "Then Ranran and I will be waiting for your good news."

-

Elsewhere.

Shen Yanhe watched wide-eyed as Fu Yanhe made the call that infuriated Fu Shuqin, and then calmly hung up.

When she heard him choose her, her heart felt a hint of sweetness.

She hesitated, then slightly looked up at Fu Yanhe: "You don’t have to do this."

Fu Yanhe tossed his phone to Wu Fang, who was standing by. Catching the phone, Wu Fang silently left the room, and he looked down at her, asking, "Don’t have to do what?"

"It’s just..." She hesitated to find the right words, her thin red lips parting slightly: "A divorce..."

As she uttered those two words, it was as if a large stone had been forced into her chest, weighing heavily on her heart, making her breath a bit heavier.

And it made her feel even more unsettled deep down.

But she knew that her marriage to Fu Yanhe had no emotional foundation to begin with.

She was also unclear about what Fu Yanhe’s feelings for her were.

Is it affection?

But he had never confessed to her, only displaying some ambiguous gestures toward her.

Even though they had shared the most intimate moments, there was still a distance between their hearts.

He had no need to lose his social standing because of her.

The position of president of the Fu Corporation.

He had worked so hard to reach that position, and after the car accident, how much effort he had put in to secure it. How could he lose it because of her?

She gripped Fu Yanhe’s clothes with a bit more strength, the knuckles on her hand turning pale.

Shen Yanhe’s lips parted slightly, about to continue speaking, when she suddenly felt an added weight upon her.
