Mr. Fu’s Wife Reincarnated - Chapter 37

Chapter 37: Do I Need to Remind You? The Truth Isn’t Nice

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The children of wealthy families that Fu Xiting came into contact with were all idle.

Take the daughters of wealthy families for example. Without exception, they were all provided with clothes and food.

Tonight, Jiang Yi had really impressed him.

Knock knock knock—

The man reached out to hold the door frame.

Jiang Yi glanced sideways. Her freshly permed curly hair was tied up into a pony tail. The moment she looked sideways, her fair face was slightly raised, and she looked like a lotus flower.

Jiang Yi did not expect Fu Xiting to come down at this time. Her original intention was to get something to eat, but when she thought about how she had argued with this person not long ago, she instantly felt her confidence weaken. Her pride made her ears turn red.

She thought that Fu Xiting would take the opportunity to mock her, but this person did not seem to do so. He only reminded her lightly, “There’s yogurt in the fridge.”

“Oh…” Jiang Yi replied awkwardly, then said, “Thank you.”

Fu Xiting did not stay long. He turned around and prepared to go upstairs.

As for Jiang Yi, she bent over and took out a plate from the disinfection cabinet to place the steak on. Unexpectedly, just as she placed the steak on the plate, the plate split in half.

The freshly fried steak fell to the ground.

For a moment, Jiang Yi felt as if all the forbearance she had endured today had rushed to her head like a surging river.

Looking at the plate on the ground, tears welled up in her eyes and engulfed her nerves.

She suddenly squatted on the ground and buried her head under her arm. Her other hand was still holding the broken plate as she burst into tears.

The heart-wrenching cries made the quiet house look strange. Fu Xiting was about to leave, but when he heard the shattering sound, he turned around. When he reached the kitchen door and heard the miserable cries, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Fu Xiting heard sympathy and unwillingness in Jiang Yi’s cries.

He was even more helpless and reluctant.

All of this girl’s emotions burst out amidst her cries.

It made Fu Xiting’s feet stick to the floor, unable to take another step forward.

A thousand thoughts played out in Fu Xiting’s mind one by one. Everything that happened tonight replayed repeatedly in Fu Xiting’s mind.

In the end, his thoughts landed on Lin Jingzhou.

Was she indignant because he reminded her of something?

Fu Xiting thought that it was likely the case!

After a long while, the footsteps stopped at the kitchen door and changed direction.

He headed for the dining room.

They were separated by a wall.

The difference was like heaven and earth.

The silence in the dining room was a stark contrast to the earth-shattering sorrow in the kitchen. Her wails sounded so helpless. It was as if a heart had died.

She clutched her chest and cried her heart out in grief.

Fu Xiting sat on a chair in the dining room and smoked silently.

No one could tell what this person was thinking.

A few minutes later, Jiang Yi stopped crying.

The sound of sobbing was still there.

She looked at the plate in her hand and replayed the decades of her life in her mind.

Her parents, her career, her fiancé, and her family and friends.

She was unwilling to accept the current situation, but she was powerless to change it.

It was fine if she died, but she had to live like this and see the pain of the people around her.

What sin had she committed in her life?

She cleaned up the mess and wiped her tears.

When Jiang Yi walked out of the kitchen, she was shocked. She looked at Fu Xiting, who was smoking at the dining table, and her fingers that were hanging by her side tightened slightly.

The man leaned back in his chair. His gray pajamas were loose on him, making him look less upright than in the day.

He held a cigarette in one hand and slowly pushed the napkin on the table with the other.

The dining room was so quiet that only the sound of paper boxes rubbing against the tabletop could be heard.

Jiang Yi stared at Fu Xiting quietly.

In her many encounters with Fu Xiting, although she was on par with Fu Xiting in terms of schemes, she could never see through this person.

For example, right now.

He had no feelings for her and even threatened to abandon her if she was disobedient.

However, at this moment, even if this person did not say anything, Jiang Yi could tell that he was slightly concerned.

Jiang Yi did not move. She stared at Fu Xiting for a few seconds before asking softly, “Why?”

The dining room at midnight was very quiet. It was so quiet that only the two of them could be heard panting.

“You want the truth?”

Fu Xiting raised his hand and took a puff of his cigarette.

“Tell me,” Jiang Yiwen said calmly, deliberately suppressing her voice, as if she was afraid that she would accidentally tear apart this quiet night.

“Do you need me to remind you? The truth doesn’t sound good.” Fu Xiting still deliberated for a while. After all, in his eyes, Jiang Yi was someone who had never left school.

She hummed in response.

Fu Xiting tapped the ash in the ashtray.

“Wealthy families have never had kinship or friendship. There are many cases where a mother gives birth to a child to stabilize the family’s status. You were born in the Jiang family and are a member of the Jiang family. This is something that is set in stone and is difficult to change. Your father wanted to fight against the family in his early years, but in the end, he did not succeed much. The family needs someone to sacrifice themselves to achieve status and you are the best sacrifice. You are timid and don’t dare to refute. You only see your parents’ love and are especially sensible. You would rather have depression than make things difficult for your parents, but do you know that? Or, does everyone know that you have depression?”

“Hate me? It’s useless. The more trouble you cause by my side, the more difficult your situation will be. Other than me, there’s still a second Zhao Xiting and Li Xiting waiting for you. You were born in the Jiang family and marriage is a mission you can’t escape. Although your grandfather gained power in his early years, the situation is now hopeless. Your father and second uncle both need to use some method to advance to stabilize the family’s status in the capital. The person who keeps saying that he loves you doesn’t necessarily love you that much.”

Fu Xiting raised his hand and took a puff of his cigarette. At this point, he did not seem to understand why he was teaching a girl who had not even left school.

His original intention was to stop talking.

However, Jiang Yi’s gaze was too intense.

Fu Xiting’s thin lips opened again. “The thing you can’t escape from is not any of your marriage partners, but your family.”

“You’re unwilling, but you’re powerless to resist everything in front of you. Life is like slavery. You’re powerless to resist. Why don’t you enjoy it in another way?”

“Why are you telling me this?”

Jiang Yi stared at Fu Xiting suspiciously.

A person of his stature shouldn’t—

Fu Xiting did not care if he lived or died, because even if there was no Jiang Yi in this world, there was still Li Yi and Zhao Yi.

She was not his only choice.

“I don’t want to see Miss Jiang crying under my roof, and I don’t want others to think that I’m being immoral to you.”

Fu Xiting stood up slowly and pressed the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray.

Jiang Yi was about to leave when he asked anxiously, “Who pushed me out?”

Fu Xiting curled his lips into a cold smile. “When an avalanche happens, not a single snowflake is innocent.”
