1478 Why Should I Listen to You

Fu Chenxi’s parents were furious.

They looked at Fu Chenxi, and Fu Chenxi’s father said, “Look at you. You should have said something.”

Fu Chenxi lowered her head, not saying a word.

Her mother also said, “Hmph, she only dares to speak to you like this because her family is rich. Why should you be afraid of her? Lu Beichen treats you well. What can she do to you?”

“That’s right. That’s right. Put in more effort with Lu Beichen, and you might kick her status as Mrs. Lu. If it doesn’t work, then have a child with Lu Beichen…”

“Mom, what are you saying?” Fu Chenxi stomped her foot and went back to her room.

Lu Beichen gave her this place.

However, Lu Beichen only provided her with food so she won’t die of starvation. He never said that…

He would give her any special feelings.

She couldn’t even touch him for no reason.

At the moment, things were like what Gu Jingyan had said. Lu Beichen was unwilling to file a divorce against Gu Jingyan.

Lu Beichen made it sound that he did not want to accept things and that he didn’t want to let Gu Jingyan have her way.

But was that true?

Over the years, she kept on recalling what Gu Jingyan had said back then.

Both Lu Beichen and she came from comparable family backgrounds and were both very rich. They cared little for money or status.

Therefore, the reason they could be together was that they had feelings for each other.

Then, was it true that Lu Beichen had feelings for Gu Jingyan?

Gu Jingyan didn’t go home. There were many places she could stay at, and she couldn’t be bothered to see Lu Beichen. She stayed somewhere else.

When Lu Beichen went home and didn’t see Gu Jingyan, he was enraged.

This woman had recently been…

Putting aside the fact that she ran away for half a year, she also kept on disappearing after she came back.

He went out and saw his family’s bodyguards.

“Where’s Madam?” he asked furiously.

“That… We don’t know.”

It made Lu Beichen flare up once again. “What do you mean you don’t know? What do you guys do that you do not know her whereabouts?”

“Young Master Lu… It’s not as if you don’t know about the bodyguards from Madam’s family. If Madam doesn’t wish for others to find her, it’d be very difficult to locate her.”

“…”

That was right. That was right. It always felt that he could control the entire world, but Gu Jingyan. No matter how much he wanted to control her, he couldn’t.

Great, great, that’s just great.

“Alright, all of you can scram. You can’t even win against a few lousy bodyguards from the Gu family… You’re really… bringing me shame!”

After saying that, he went back and slammed the door hard.

However, he was feeling bad about this.

Who would feel good about this? His wife kept on saying that she wanted to get a divorce. It’d be strange if he would feel good about it.

At this moment, Fu Chenxi called.

He looked and then felt annoyed for some reason. However, he still picked up the call.

“Is something the matter?”

“Yes… Jingyan came over today.”

Lu Beichen only casually asked, but upon hearing that Gu Jingyan went to see Fu Chenxi, he immediately jumped up.

A short moment later, he entered the western dining restaurant of a hotel.

This restaurant didn’t sell western food at that time around, but they would provide some afternoon tea menu.

Fu Chenxi ordered some red wine to go with the tea. When she saw Lu Beichen, she lowered her head and said, “Come and try this red wine. I heard that you like Lafite and specially ordered it.”

How could Lu Beichen possibly care about red wine at this moment? “Why did Gu Jingyan go there in the afternoon? Did she look for you? What did she say? Where the h.e.l.l has she gone to?”

Fu Chenxi was stunned for a moment, finding it hard to keep up her smile.

She said, “She didn’t say much, but that the two of you are going through a divorce…”

Lu Beichen was enraged.

This woman…

Who was going through a divorce with her?

They haven’t gotten a divorce yet.

He hadn’t agreed to it yet, but she was already announcing it to others.

“Was this how she said it?”

Fu Chenxi said, “Beichen… Why are the two of you getting a divorce for no reason? Can you not get a divorce? If there’s any problem, just talk things through.”

He pulled at his arm, appearing to be persuading him carefully.

Lu Beichen became agitated again.

“Don’t listen to her. We aren’t getting a divorce. We aren’t divorced at all. Heh, she wants a divorce? No way. It’s her wishful thinking,” he mumbled angrily.

Fu Chenxi felt very bitter, and it was as if there was something stuck in her throat.

Did he not want to get a divorce?

She smiled. “That’s right. Your child is already so old.”

“It’s not because of the child. I just don’t want a divorce. Why do I have to listen to her? I’m not getting a divorce. Hmph.”

Fu Chenxi felt increasingly upset, and she glanced at the red wine. “Alright, don’t be angry. Beichen, when I heard about it, I thought that it was true. How can she say something like that? It’s so hurtful for your relations.h.i.+p, and it frightened me as well. Have a drink, don’t be too angry.”

Lu Beichen took a big gulp of the wine.

He was furious and drank quite a lot of wine at one go.

Seeing that he had drunk too much, Fu Chenxi sent him back.

When they reached the door, she called Gu Jingyan.

“Jingyan.”

Gu Jingyan let out a cold snort. “What more do you have to say?”

Fu Chenxi said, “It’s not much, but Lu Beichen is with me. He’s drunk. You… why don’t you come and fetch him.”

There was a long silence on the other end of the call.

A short moment later, she said, “Since he is drunk and he’s with you, then you should be the one responsible for the aftermath. I’m not his nanny. Why do I have to fetch him whenever he gets drunk? You can take care of the drunkard.”

After saying that, she hung up the call.

Fu Chenxi paused for a moment before she looked at Lu Beichen.

She had done this on purpose. She didn’t want to see Gu Jingyan and Lu Beichen well together.

Back then, Lu Beichen had been her boyfriend. It was Gu Jingyan that b*tch who s.n.a.t.c.hed him away.

Gu Jingyan put down the phone, but her secretary, who was next to her, was still hesitant.

“President Gu, was it a call from that b*tch?” As she had helped Gu Jingyan to handle some matters, she knew some things about the two of them.

Gu Jingyan nodded silently.

The secretary said, “Madam, don’t believe this b*tch. She must be doing this on purpose.”

Gu Jingyan took in a deep breath. “That’s right. She’s doing this on purpose. But remember, who was it that gave her this chance?”

The secretary was stunned.

Gu Jingyan said, “If Lu Beichen didn’t meet her, then she wouldn’t show off to me.”

The secretary had nothing to say to this.

What President Gu said was right.

Gu Jingyan continued to lower her head to write something. A short moment later, the pen broke.

The next day.

When Lu Beichen woke up, he realized that he was back at home.

And next to him…

Was Fu Chenxi.

He was stunned.

He glanced down to check himself and saw that his clothes were intact, and Fu Chenxi was also wearing the clothes she wore yesterday. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, nothing happened.

He looked at Fu Chenxi, “Why are you here?”

Fu Chenxi said, “Beichen, you were drunk, so I could only stay to take care of you. Don’t worry, nothing happened. You fell asleep the moment you came back.”

“Of course. How could anything have happened?”

He got up, rubbed his hair, and headed out.

However, he had just reached the door when he saw Gu Jingyan carrying her handbag and entering.
