Chapter 148: Chapter 146: Fu Yanyan’s Despair and Pleas (Second Update)

Hearing this phone call, Qin Qin curved her lips upward, "You don’t need to call back now, the call has come."

Fu Yanyan glanced at Qin Qin, took out her phone, and her face turned ugly at the sight of the number.

"Answer it, she will tell you everything."

Fu Yanyan clenched her teeth tightly, not wanting to answer the call, but was glared at by Gou Bufan.

"Hello!"

"Fu Yanyan, do you know who this is?" A clear female voice came from the other end, conveying complexity and a hint of hatred.

"Yang Jie," Fu Yanyan said softly.

"It seems you haven’t forgotten me. I fear you’ll never be able to forget me in this lifetime, right? My once best friend, Fu Yanyan! Fu Yanyan, I’m not calling today for any other reason but to tell you something that everyone else has kept from you, your mother has died, two days ago, in fact. And when she died, her eyes were not closed. Even in death, she instructed everyone not to tell you, claiming it was as if she never had a daughter like you. Fu Yanyan, just how cold-hearted can you be, to not have seen your mother for years? Actually, I should thank you for what you did back then, otherwise I wouldn’t be so in love with my husband now, having made him see your true colors. Fu Yanyan, you’re truly disgusting, the most disgusting woman I’ve ever met in my life! My husband and I are getting married, oh right, no need for your blessings, we will be very happy. And one more thing, we all hope you never show up in our lives again."

The woman on the other end abruptly hung up.

Fu Yanyan’s face showed a complex mix of remorse after hearing the woman’s words. Throughout her life, she had done many things that kept her up at night, and it seemed she had gotten used to it, also forgetting the initial remorse. But now, hearing the call from her once best friend, a surge of regret and pain suddenly overwhelmed her heart.

Fu Yanyan put her phone away and looked up at Qin Qin, "You... really predicted it!"

Qin Qin didn’t speak, just looked at Fu Yanyan with an indifferent expression.

Fu Yanyan’s face turned deathly pale as she suddenly grasped Qin Qin’s hand, "Miss Qin, could it be that my latter years are really going to be as you said? I don’t want that, Miss Qin, please save me, whatever the cost, as long as you can save me!"

Qin Qin withdrew her hand, and Mo Yunchen, who was standing by, raised his hand. Mo Sheng passed a handkerchief to Mo Yunchen, who wiped Qin Qin’s hand with it.

This time Qin Qin ignored Mo Yunchen and instead fixed a cold stare at Fu Yanyan, "You must bear the consequences of your own deeds; I will not solve them for you."

She disdained to help such a person!

Fu Yanyan paled, her steps faltered, and she nearly collapsed.

Seeing Fu Yanyan despised by Qin Qin like this, Gou Bufan immediately put on a sycophantic smile, "Miss Qin, this kind of woman deserves it. Thank you, Miss Qin, for helping me see this woman’s true face. Otherwise, I would have no idea to what extent this woman could deceive me!"

Qin Qin gave a cold laugh, pulled her hand back from Mo Yunchen’s, and with a hint of regret, he handed the handkerchief to Mo Sheng, who immediately tossed it away.

"Wasn’t Director Gou just saying that this Miss Fu was your wife? How come now she’s ’this kind of woman’?" Qin Qin said with a cold laugh.

Gou Bufan covered his lips with an awkward smile, "Miss Qin, my apologies for the spectacle. If you find this woman distasteful, I will have her leave immediately, so as not to offend your eyes."

"Get out of here now!" Gou Bufan bellowed at Fu Yanyan.

Fu Yanyan wanted to say something but was silenced by Gou Bufan’s fierce glare. She knew that from this day forward, she would not be able to rely on Gou Bufan anymore, that she would have to cling to someone else. However, she didn’t expect that when she got home, she would receive two calls of desperation, calls disassociating from her, because the men on the other end had been found out by their wives for having affairs and, of course, wanted to distance themselves quickly. Fu Yanyan did not foresee that this was not the worst of her despair. After leaving Gou Bufan, she carelessly got involved with a man, only to discover not long after that she had contracted AIDS. Only then did she realize her life truly started to crumble from that day.

Returning to the present, Fu Yanyan was shouted at by Gou Bufan and left with reluctance.

Once Fu Yanyan had left, Gou Bufan turned to Qin Qin with a warm smile, "Miss Qin, I’ve heard you can tell fortunes. I wonder if you could do one for me!"

"As a token of my appreciation, please accept this." Gou Bufan handed a card to Qin Qin, "There are five million in it. I hope you won’t find it too modest, Miss Qin. You know Secretary Gan, so this sum might seem trivial to you. In the future, I will surely bring more to show my respect to Miss Qin."

Gou Bufan’s intention was clear to everyone present—if Qin Qin could help him connect with Secretary Gan, he would share the resulting benefits with her.

Qin Qin scoffed inwardly but did not refuse, taking the card directly. Lu Xue Zhen and Doctor Bai showed complex expressions, not expecting Qin Qin to actually accept the card.

"Director Gou, what would you like to know? Do you want to find out about your future?" Qin Qin asked.

Gou Bufan beamed broadly, "Miss Qin, you truly are the Fortune-teller. Please, help me see what my future holds."

He never really believed that Qin Qin could predict the future; it was merely an excuse to give her the five million. Now that Miss Qin had accepted the money, he believed his bright future was just around the corner.

Qin Qin caught the smug look on Gou Bufan’s face and raised a sardonic smile, "Director Gou, actually, the name your parents chose for you is quite apt, ’Bufan’ is appropriate indeed."

Director Gou smiled, "Thank you for the compliment, Miss Qin. I also think my parents chose a great name. ’Bufan’, destined not to be ordinary."

"Director Gou is mistaken, I wasn’t complimenting you. I was merely sighing for your parents. They entrusted their life’s work to you, and true to their expectations, you became quite the official. But you erred by betraying what they hoped—an honest official—a good man. You’ve used your position for personal gain and amassed quite the fortune, haven’t you? Director Gou, let me advise you: donate the wealth you’ve accumulated over the years, and maybe your end won’t be so bleak. If you continue to obtain everything you want through unscrupulous means, I have only one thing to say to you: those who practice injustice will bring about their own demise."

At Qin Qin’s words, Gou Bufan’s expression darkened, "Miss Qin... you must be joking, right? I, Gou Bufan, am an honest official. How could I possibly be corrupt!"

"An honest official?!" Qin Qin sneered, "Director Gou isn’t afraid of being a hypocrite? I have nothing more to say to you. As for what you do, that’s your business. I won’t bother to see you out. Sister Xuezhen, would you escort Director Gou out?" Qin Qin no longer wanted to lay eyes on Gou Bufan. Today, both men had shattered her worldview, and she didn’t want to sully her vision any further.

Turning away, she found Mo Yunchen’s face before her, but before she could turn away again, he caught her shoulders, "If it’s dirty, you don’t have to look."

Qin Qin didn’t speak, nor did she try to avoid him.

Lu Xue Zhen smiled and gave a nod, gesturing for Gou Bufan to leave. Gou Bufan’s face was ashen, but he knew he couldn’t afford to provoke the girl named Qin Qin, so he clenched his teeth and departed.
