The scarlet wine spilled from the corner of his mouth and went down along his pale neck, which was extremely cold and decadent.
Zhong Han saw this and couldn’t help but ask, “What exactly happened to you?”
Fu Yao turned his head and looked out of the window at the dusky sky. Every word he said sounded like a dull pain in his heart. “I don’t know… how I feel about her. Everything is really terrible now.”
Zhong Han was confused. “Her? Who? Is there someone outside?”
Fu Yao couldn’t be bothered to roll his eyes at him again. “Shen Qieyi, she’s Shen Qieyi.”
Zhong Han understood, but he was shocked the next second.
He would never forget the fact that Fu Yao was drunk on his wedding night and how he cursed Shen Qieyi. He could not wait to tear her into pieces.
He thought that with Fu Yao’s personality, even if they were tied together, there would not be a good result.
Zhong Han still remembered that on the day of the wedding banquet, Shen Qieyi was wearing a white wedding dress and holding Fu Yao’s arm, smiling brightly.
He didn’t even want to put on an act as the groom. His face was dark and cold throughout the whole process.
After getting married, Fu Yao had never brought Shen Qieyi with him to their brother’s gathering. Instead, he had even brought along all kinds of female companions. He would never bring the same one twice.
Everyone was young people who would not speak the truth even if they saw it. Zhong Han thought that Fu Yao and he were on the same side, and that they were both smart people who didn’t care about emotions.
They hadn’t talked about their emotional life for a long time, but he didn’t expect the relationship between Fu Yao and Shen Qieyi to be turned upside down.
“What… happened to the both of you?”
Fu Yao was in no hurry to answer. He raised his head and gulped down another mouthful of wine.
“Oh, nothing. I’m getting a divorce.”
He spoke in a carefree manner, but Zhong Han was alarmed when he heard that.
“Why are you…”
“She wants a divorce, but I didn’t agree.” Fu Yao knew what Zhong Han was thinking, so he corrected him.
Zhong Han thought that Fu Yao would be the one who couldn’t take it anymore and want a divorce. Who would have thought…
“Shen Yuan is dead, and I killed him. Shen Qieyi wants a divorce.” Fu Yao closed his eyes and looked indifferent.
Zhong Han sat across from him in a daze, unable to react for a long time.
Fu Yao was really beyond his expectations.
The children of rich families were born with shackles and they couldn’t even make their own decisions regarding their love lives. They often fell into the cage of marriage for interests. Only a very few people were truly happy.
He, Zhong Han, was no exception. He was the result of his parents’ loveless marriage and was destined to have incomplete relationships for the rest of his life.
Zhong Han didn’t resist, because he knew that he couldn’t resist at all. In this life, he could only deceive himself by playing around.
Zhong Han opened a new bottle and handed it to him. “Isn’t a divorce something you’ve always wanted?”
Fu Yao stared at him.
“Don’t you hate Shen Yuan? This might be the best outcome.” Zhong Han earnestly advised him.
“You’re not the only one who has suffered pain. In the recent past, Shen Qieyi, Shen Yuan and you have been torturing each other and looking at each other from afar. Look at me again.”
Zhong Han pointed at himself and laughed bitterly. “Who can I go against? I’m about to lose the ability to love someone. Who would be willing to bear my pain?”
“But there’s a fact that you haven’t recognized yet.” Zhong Han continued.
“What?” Fu Yao didn’t take it seriously.
“She wants you to be a man of flesh and blood, not a cold money-making machine of the Fu family.”
Fu Yao was stunned. It was as if he was a robot whose battery had been turned off, there was no reaction at all.
Zhong Han didn’t disturb him and just drank alone.
In the Fu family’s mansion.
Fu Laoye sat in the dining room, reading the newspaper with his glasses.
“Lishao, why don’t you go upstairs and wake him up? Look at the time.” Fu Laoye suddenly remembered something and ordered the servant standing beside him.
Lishao nodded and quickly went upstairs. Then she hurried down.
“Sir, Fuyao has gone out.”
Fu Laoye paused as he flipped through the newspaper. “He went out?”
Fu Laoye puffed up his chest and asked the crowd with annoyance, “When did any of you see him go out?”
The servants stopped what they were doing and looked at the old man. They looked at each other and then shook their heads.
Fu Laoye thought for a moment and said, “This unfilial child! He thinks nothing of my words!”
Fu Yao, who was muttering, was drunk and dreaming in the bar.
Zhong Han was already drunk. He laid prone on the sofa and kept nagging at Fu Yao.
“It’s said that drinking should be drunk no more than 60 percent, eating not more than 70 percent full, and love no more than 80 percent. But what about most people? They often get drunk, eat too much, and love too much to be a fool! The result is vomiting, growing a lot of meat, and being abandoned!”
“Ha ha ha ha ha ha, don’t you think they are fools?”
There was no response.
Fu Yao’s entire body was red as he collapsed on the carpet. The wine bottle was knocked down.
The bright red drops of wine fell on the carpet, and the spots that spread looked glaring. Everything seemed ridiculous and confusing.
“Hey! Brother, do you know that there is such a thing as this?” Zhong Han pushed his shoulder from time to time, but there was still no response.
Zhong Han muttered to himself as he waved his hands around. “What do you mean by ‘I’d rather drink my sorrows away’. Hahaha, damn it, it’s all top-grade!”
After he finished speaking, he burped loudly and completely passed out.
Fu Yao felt extremely uncomfortable. The cells in his body were trembling, and his brain was about to burst.
He pressed his temples tightly to relieve the pressure, then picked up the bottle and gulped it down.
Looking at the scene in front of him which was shaking left and right, he clenched his fist and pounded it heavily on the ground, and his surging emotions were about to overflow.
He didn’t want to face the mess of his life anymore.
As long as he didn’t agree, nothing would change.
How could he allow Shen Qieyi to escape just like that?
Even if he went to hell, he would take her with him.
Fu Yao stubbornly convinced himeself and completely immersed himself in a drunken state.
At nine o’clock in the morning, in the backyard of the Fu family.
An hour ago, when Zhangma went upstairs to ask Shen Qieyi to have breakfast, she bumped into her packing her things.
Zhangma quickly stepped forward to stop her. “Madam, what are you doing? There is no overnight feud between a couple.”
Shen Qieyi was caught off guard by the interruption. She watched as Zhangma carried the clothes out of the suitcase and put them back into the wardrobe.
Shen Qieyi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, nor was she annoyed. Instead, she took a step back, tilted her head, and listened carefully to Zhangma’s nagging.
“No matter how much a couple fight, you can’t lose your temper at will. You have to be serious about your relationship…”
Seeing that Zhangma treated her as a daughter so gently, she was very touched.
Shen Qieyi stepped forward and held Zhangma’s hands, saying, “Don’t worry about me. I’m not leaving now.”
Zhangma stopped and held Shen Qieyi’s hand. “Silly child, what is so hard to get pass?”
Shen Qieyi shook her head.
Indeed, there was nothing that couldn’t be get pass.
She didn’t want to make things difficult for Zhangma, so she obediently went downstairs for breakfast.
After breakfast, Shen Qieyi had nothing to do and cleaned up with Zhangma.
Zhangma was afraid that she would be tired, so she would ask her to rest from time to time. Shen Qieyi went unwillingly.
