I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 393

“What? You…”

Color drained from Shi Wei’s face as she stared at Shi Nuan with utter disbelief on her face. “How can you…” How can she do this to me?

Since when did she become so cunning and unpredictable?

Shi Wei was staring at Shi Nuan with so much bewilderment in her eyes. It was as though she was looking at a monster. “How can you do that? Our conversation should be private!” Shi Wei hadn’t been thinking at all before she spoke out of anger.

Oh, crap!

What will happen if Fu Chengyan heard everything I said just now?

Shi Wei’s eyes flickered with fear. At the sight of Shi Nuan’s triumphant face, her expression turned increasingly churlish. “You tricked me into this! Shi Nuan, you’re despicable!”

“I didn’t try to trick you at all. It’s not like I’m going to gain any benefit by sabotaging you,” Shi Nuan snorted disdainfully. “Look, Chengyan can’t stand being away from me for too long a time because he will start to miss me. So, I should really get going. As for you, please feel free to stay at the washroom for as long as you like.”

Shi Nuan then kept her phone back in her bag. Throughout the process, she maintained a calm and collected expression. When she spun around to make her way back to the private room, a crooked smile emerged on her face. Somehow, her mood was lifted when she thought of the devastated expression on Shi Wei’s face.

Meanwhile, inside the private room of Yun Shui Jian, Fu Chengyan switched on the hands-free mode as soon as he received Shi Nuan’s call just now. Therefore, everyone was able to listen to the conversation between Shi Nuan and Shi Wei.

Shi Jingzheng’s face looked extremely grim. There were many times when he felt like lunging forward to yell at Shi Wei and ask her to shut her mouth. However, he dared not even stand – Fu Chengyan’s aura was simply too intimidating.

Fu Yuqing was wearing a similarly ominous expression. Although he did not let his emotions show, he was secretly cursing Shi Wei for saying those things to Shi Nuan.

To his chagrin, Shi Wei turned out to be just as dumb as her mother, Jiang Yu. Both of them were only great at screwing things up.

If it were not because Shi Wei owned the shares of her family business, Fu Yuqing would not have allowed someone as stupid as her to become his daughter-in-law. Indeed, only a smart woman like Shi Nuan had what it took to deal with stuff as important as this.

In fact, Fu Yuqing only resorted to Shi Wei after finding out that Shi Nuan was not favored by her parents. The woman did not own any shares of the family business of the Shi family either. Little did he know that Shi Nuan would turn out to be the biggest winner in the end.

Her husband, Fu Chengyan, was a man who was admired by the people of Jiang City. Plenty of prestigious families in the city were desperate to marry their daughters to Fu Chengyan so that they could form a bond with him. To everyone’s disappointment, Fu Chengyan had ended up marrying a woman who had no powerful background, nor a gorgeous face.

Only then did Fu Yuqing realize the truth behind Shi Nuan’s background. No wonder the people of the Shi family had always neglected her and reserved more and better resources for Shi Wei. It was because Shi Nuan was not Shi Jingzheng and Jiang Yu’s daughter at all!

In the meantime, Fu Chengyan put his phone down and started drumming his slender fingers on the table, his expression remaining calm and collected. Compared to the others at the table, his composure looked very much out of place.

Fu Xicheng was unable to keep his cool as perfectly as Fu Chengyan. Under Fu Chengyan’s domineering aura, the man was self-conscious and insecure. He was so spooked to hear the conversation between Shi Nuan and Shi Wei that he fervently hoped that a crack would suddenly appear on the ground to swallow him.

“Uhm… Mr. Fu, Wei is just…”

Before Fu Yuqing could finish his sentence, the door to the private room opened. It was Shi Nuan, who strutted into the room with a faint smile on her face. Sensing the tension in the air, she wondered with amusement on her face, “What’s the matter? Why isn’t anybody enjoying the food?”

She then walked over to the table and sat down beside Fu Chengyan. A trace of surprise flashed in her eyes when she spotted his phone on the table.

In fact, she did not have much of a plan when she left for the washroom just now. It was only her habit to be extra vigilant, knowing that Shi Wei would always be up to some sort of mischief whenever she had a private encounter with her. Despite that, there were times she would still be caught off guard.

Therefore, Shi Nuan had learned her lesson by preparing a backup plan every time she met Shi Wei in private. This time, calling Fu Chengyan was that.

Indeed, she did speak certain things and behaved in a certain way just now, intending to infuriate Shi Wei. Yet, it never occurred to her that it was so easy to make Shi Wei could lose her cool. Shi Wei was capable of saying anything with the right amount of provocation.

Never in her wildest dreams would she have imagined that Shi Wei would blurt out the secret of her background just like that. All the while, she had assumed that her secret was known to only Shi Jingzheng and Jiang Yu. She did not expect them to have shared it with Shi Wei. Upon knowing that her sister was aware of it too, Shi Nuan finally realized why Shi Wei had been picking on her ever since they were little. As the three of them had never truly seen her as their family, they did not feel bad to sabotage her.
