Chapter 156: Brutal Sharp Tongue

Chapter 156: Brutal Sharp Tongue

It was Fu Qingye’s fault for doing a background check on Shen Xi!

She must have been hurt because of this.

Understanding where he was coming from, Shen Xi fixated on the man. “Mr. Fu, you are a man of aristocracy. I get it. I am not angry. Sir, you don’t have to apologize to me for this.”

She knew what he was apologizing for.

He knew what she was referring to.

Fu Qingye’s eyes welled up to hear her words.

At the tender age of seventeen, Shen Xi must have gone through a lot of hardships to speak lightly in such a mature and dispassionate manner.

A girl this age would be doted and cherished by parents and family, living a carefree life. However, she appeared to have faced the vicissitude of life and seen through everything.

Fu Qingye was conscious that she was speaking the truth and because it came from her heart, he was heartbroken and felt for her.

“It was wrong of me. Allow me to formally apologize to you.” Fu Qingye solemnly looked into her eyes. “I didn’t investigate you because I don’t trust you. I just thought that, in my mind, you’re really identical to my sister.”

“Mr. Fu, there’s no need to blame yourself. I trust that you will find your sister soon.” Shen Xi let out a smile that reflected warmth and well wishes. “I believe that your sister is living a happy life.”

In fact, she should have known better than to fantasize and have expectations. The urge to draw close because he was warm and familiar should be nipped in the bud.

They were from different worlds. Perhaps there would not be another after this collaboration.

People would call her a social climber for befriending a blue blood like the Fu family.

“What about you?” Fu Qingye asked her.

Shen Xi grinned. “I am happy. I have my mom and dad, and they are nice to me. I trust that Ms. Fu will be as lucky as me to meet people who love her.”

For a moment, Fu Qingye was suffocating from the heartache. He looked at her, wanting to say something but was at a loss for words. In the end, he uttered, “I hope so.”

“Sir, you don’t have to feel sorry for me, think that I have a miserable life or be nice to me because I look like your sister. I’m not a substitute for your sister. I’m a greedy person and will take it seriously.” Shen Xi made it seem as though she was joking.

Fu Qingye wanted to tell her to take it seriously, but the words could not escape his lips. “You’re a great person. It’s their loss for not cherishing you.”

Although Shen Xi came off as heartless, Fu Qingye should ask himself whether his amiability towards her had no correlations to his sister.

No. He was a selfish man at the end of the day. He was only nice to her because of his sister and mother.

“I think so too. However, I don’t need them to cherish me.” Shen Xi nodded at him. “I should get going.”

As she made her exit in a carefree manner, Fu Qingye watched with a complicated look on his face all while overwhelmed with a mix of emotions.

The young lady was truly magnanimous, free, easy, and clear-headed. Nevertheless, her sharp tongue was mercilessly brutal.

Shen Xi could be said to be heartless. Prior to learning that he thought of her as a sister, she could indulge in fantasies that she had her charm. Shen Xi could not accept the good in him now that she found out that he imagined that she was his sister.

His affections and goodness belonged to his sister and not her. She had her own principles. She would never daydream, covet, or take away what was not hers.

It would only make her the person she hated the most. How different would she be from Su Ruowan then?
