I very much wanted to thank his whole family!

His long and slender fingers were like flicking cotton as he peeled the prawn nimbly. The glistening, translucent prawn meat was indeed tempting.

Under everyone’s gaze, he put the prawn in my bowl.

Jiang Yu’s gentle face was full of worry. She looked at Fu Hansheng and said meekly, “Sister is allergic to seafood. We only added two dishes today because I came back.”

Fu Hansheng did not care about the kind reminder and the vague grievance.

In his mind, even if I’m poisoned to death on that day, I would still have to show him some face.

He glanced at me, then said, “She’s been cured of her allergies for a while.”

What?

Why didn’t I know!

He continued to laugh so hard it was sickening. With one hand, he brushed the hair from the side of my ear to the back of it. Then, he whispered into it. “Eat it.”

Only I could hear this threat.

I could only play along.

I nodded. “I’m cured.”

After that, I picked up the prawn meat and put it into my mouth.

Jiang Yu knitted her brows and wanted to say something, but she didn’t.

I was distracted throughout dinner. Only when it ended did I realize there was something wrong with Fu Hansheng that night. He had never displayed his affection for me.

But why did it happen on that night?

I was full of doubts. I increasingly felt that Fu Hansheng was a mysterious and unpredictable person.

He was like an unsolved enigma.

After dinner, my dad pulled Fu Hansheng along and made some small talk.

I gave the excuse of going to the bathroom to check on my allergies in my room.

Just that someone followed behind me the moment I’d pushed the door open.

It was Jiang Yu.

I heard her voice. “I’m dating someone now. Soon, we will organize an engagement ceremony. Remember to attend it with brother-in-law.”

Brother-in-law.

She gritted her teeth as she said those 3 words as if she was hinting at something.

I turned around. Under the light, Jiang Yu’s skin was fair, and her facial features were delicate. She had the demeanor of a noble young lady. Unfortunately, her illegitimacy had ruined her.

And she had almost destroyed this family.

“You know what? I was the one who forced Dad to send you out of the country.” I pursed my lips and shot her a mocking gaze.

“Father is a son-in-law who lives in his wife’s parents’ home. Not only does he not dote on Mother more, he even brought back an illegitimate daughter while having affairs outside. My mother is kind and pitied you. She was willing to accept you, but you better remember your identity at all times.”

I purposely reminded her.

Jiang Yu’s existence was so annoying.

She was a thorn in this family. If she was honest, I could still tolerate it.

However, she shouldn’t have tried to sow discord between my mother and me.

Her face turned bloodless, and her gaze became conflicted. She struggled with her urge to fight back against my humiliations, but at last, she held it back.

How could I not understand Jiang Yu? Her gentleness and virtuousness were all just for show. Without that layer of hypocrisy, she was even more sharp-tongued than a shrew.

“Jiang Ran, I’ll definitely beat you again.”

I wasn’t sure why she said that.

“Even though I disappeared for a few years, Fu Hansheng still couldn’t forget me. Tonight was the best proof,” Jiang Yu pointed out.

Her gaze looked a little smug. I didn’t understand what she meant yet.

Jiang Yu’s red lips parted. Seeing me in such a state, she confessed everything.

“I was the one who dumped Fu Hansheng back then, after enjoying all of his tenderness and care. If not for your interference, I wouldn’t have let go of such an outstanding springboard.”

“Su Li is nothing. She’s just a substitute. I sent her to Fu Hansheng so that he could think of me all the time.”

No wonder Fu Hansheng was acting so strangely that night.

Despite my shock upon hearing that, I wasn’t as angry as I’d thought.

Almost everyone knew that Fu Hansheng and I hated each other. We were just waiting for an opportunity to divorce and set each other free.

She’s using Fu Hansheng against me? Wasn’t that a little ridiculous?

She walked up to me and looked at me pitifully.

“You were the one who stole the title of Mrs. Fu. Hence, I also stole what should have been yours.”

Jiang Yu had already snatched away my father’s love when it should have belonged to me alone. She even took away half of my mother’s love.

She was still not satisfied. Her greediness had no end

“You’re really trying your best to disgust me.”

“He-he.”

Jiang Yu sneered.

Seeing how confident she was, the flames of rage that I had been holding in exploded. Just as I raised my hand to slap her, Fu Hansheng suddenly came from outside.

“Stop!”

He gripped my wrist and tightened his grip.

I looked up at his livid face and couldn’t help but feel a chill run down my spine.

Why was he so worried about Jiang Yu? I hadn’t even hit her yet, and he was already so eager to save the damsel in distress?

“Get lost.”

Hearing his glacial tone, my eyes grew misty. I held back my tears and said, “I don’t need you to tell me to leave!”

But just as I was about to walk out, Fu Hansheng abruptly fixed his gaze on Jiang Yu and repeated impatiently.

“Jiang Yu, I’m talking about you.”

“Get lost!”
