Some things were fermenting silently, but the strange emotions that pervaded the air caused Bai Jingyan to sense something.
Shen Qieyi’s gaze was fixed on the petals, so she did not notice the change in emotions in Bai Jingyan’s eyes. She did not know that somebody was calling her phone which was muted and put into her bag. At this moment, the screen lit up and Fu Yao’s name appeared on the screen.
… After hearing ‘the number you have dialed is unavailable at the moment’ for three times, Fu Yao hung up the phone with no expression, opened the door and got out of the car.
Once he entered the prison, many people recognized Fu Yao and greeted him respectfully, “Mr. Fu.”
After explaining his intentions, Fu Yao was brought to the visiting room.
Behind him, there were whispers.
“Why do you think Mr. Fu came back to see a criminal out of nowhere? Are they related?”
“I heard that the Fu family was still in contact with the Shen family before, maybe for the sake their old friendship.”
In front of the glass panel, Fu Yao looked at the man in front of him indifferently. The anger in his eyes kept burning, but he had no expression on his face.
When Mr. Shen picked up the phone and looked at him pleadingly, Fu Yao put the phone at his ear and said coldly, “You are already in prison yet you still could contact Mr. Lu. Not bad.”
If it weren’t for him forcefully enduring, Fu Yao wouldn’t have been able to be in the same space as him.
Mr. Shen’s face was darkened, and he said in a hoarse voice, “Fu Yao, I’m sorry for the things I did to you in the past.”
“There’s too much for you to be sorry for. Which are you talking about?” Fu Yao’s tone was both harsh and cold, and his eyes were filled with derision.
Every sentence Mr. Shen spoke, Fu Yao would reply with another, his cold voice sounded more like an interrogation.
“It was all my fault. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have to be forced to marry her. But I just wanted her to marry the person she loves.” Mr. Shen said slowly, with a vicissitude voice and full of remorse.
He was Shen Qieyi’s father, and their personalities were the most similar.
Even if Shen Qieyi would show happiness every time she visited the prison, he could see from her slightly frowned eyebrows and dim eyes that she was not as happy as she looked.
“Mr. Lu was my last hope. I called you just to tell you that Qieyi doesn’t know anything about the release. This is me begging you to live a good life with her, okay? She really likes you.”
This was the only thing he could do for his daughter.
Hearing this, Fu Yao suddenly laughed, particularly exaggerated.
There was only seriousness in his eyes. He looked cold and unkind.
“What a good father.” Fu Yao laughed sarcastically. “If you continue this, even I’d have to think that you’re a good father and loving your daughter was the only reason why you forced me to marry Shen Qieyi.
He paused for a moment, his expression suddenly became stern. He raised his voice and said, “And not for my family’s inheritance nor to make me your puppet.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Shen was speechless. He looked at Fu Yao in front of him and said, “I, you…”
He wanted to explain but had nothing to say.
“Unfortunately, your plan failed. Not only did you lose your daughter, but you also landed yourself in such a terrible situation.”
Fu Yao’s pupils contracted a little bit, and his memory was brought back to the past.
“Mr. Shen, since Mr. Fu is so repulsive and there are many people who wants to marry Ms. Shen, why do you have to make things unpleasant?”
“Fu family is an old connection, Fu Yao is young and easier to control. If he becomes Shen family’s son-in-law, naturally, I can control everything in Fu family.”
He was once at the door of the Gu Group’s office and overheard the conversation between Mr. Shen and his secretary.
It was also because of this, Fu Yao hated the Shen family to the core.
If his dislike for Shen Qieyi was only seven points before, then it became 10 points after he knew about the conspiracy behind.
Therefore, Fu Yao disliked Shen Qieyi as if she was trash and hated Mr. Shen to the core.
For a long time, Shen’s father did not say a word to explain. His eyes were full of various emotions, remorse, guilt, and helplessness.
Fu Yao looked up indifferently. “Thanks to you, your daughter is not living any better than you. Now she is a coward who’s easily bullied by others.”
“Fu Yao,” Mr. Shen shouted and looked straight at him, “It was all my fault. If you hate me, just come at me. Don’t treat Qieyi badly. She is a kind girl. This has nothing to do with her.”
“Heh.” Fu Yao chuckled. “She’s indeed kind, that’s why she’d buy condoms for her husband when he sleeps with other women.”
Mr. Shen’s expression changed from shock to pain. He said, “Fu Yao, you don’t deserve to be a husband. Qieyi was blind to fall in love with you. You’re not worthy of her love.”
Although he was angry, he was more worried for Shen Qieyi. In the end, Mr. Shen did not dare to curse at Fu Yao.
Fu Yao looked at the face in front of him indifferently. The pain on Mr. Shen’s face was similar to Shen Qieyi’s.
They were indeed father and daughter.
One of them was despicable, while the other was cunning.
The more he looked at him, the more Fu Yao thought of Shen Qieyi and the situation reported on the phone.
The anger in his heart was deepened bit by bit with malicious revenge, he said, “Her love only makes me feel sick, and there is one more thing I need to tell you.”
Mr. Shen’s heart was raised because of his words.
“We’re going to get divorced soon and I’ll let her go without a single cent. Her father is in prison, her mother is gone, and she is penniless. Do you think she will be on the streets?”
Fu Yao’s calm words completely hurt Mr. Shen, and his expression was ferocious.
A hand smacked harshly against the glass panel. “Fu Yao, I’ve already said that if there’s anything you want, just come at me. It has nothing to do with Qieyi.”
However, after he finished speaking, Mr. Shen only then reacted to Fu Yao’s words. Fu Yao said that Shen Qieyi’s mother had gone.
He was alert and shocked, and immediately raised his voice. “What did you just say? Where did Qieyi’s mother go?”
“You don’t know?” Fu Yao raised his eyebrows, but he quickly understood. Shen Qieyi did not want her father to be sad, so she did not tell him that her mother had passed away.
“What’s wrong with her mother?” Mr. Shen hit the glass fiercely, his emotions had already gone out of control.
In his heart, he urgently wanted to know, but he was afraid that he would hear what he feared the most. He was extremely entangled. Mr. Shen looked straight at Fu Yao and kept asking.
Fu Yao stared at Mr. Shen for a long time, his deep eyes kept changing.
He bent his fingers, tapped the table and said, “She’s dead.”
With one sentence, Mr. Shen suddenly fell silent with a painful expression.
The phone in his hand fell to the ground. He covered his face with both hands, and tears fell when the others couldn’t see them.
