I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 500

“Based on my understanding, you can go see Qin Yanzhi directly. Why do you still need to do this in a roundabout way?” This was something Fu Chengyan was puzzled by.

Stunned by his words, Su Shaoqing responded with a wry smile. “Ling and Qin Xiaoxiao’s experiences were similar. She now sees Bai as her own flesh and blood. Hence, even when Bai has fully recovered, Ling is not going to return him to Qin Yanzhi. However, do you think the Qin family will stay silent once they find out Bai is a member of their family?”

There was more to the matter than meets the eye. Therefore, Su Shaoqing had to tread carefully when dealing with it. “Besides, Ling is…”

Fu Chengyan raised his eyebrow, “What about her?”

“Nothing!” Su Shaoqing shook his head. “All you need to do is help me to contact the Qin family. As for the rest, I’ll handle it myself.”

Fu Chengyan nodded. “That’s for the best. Only you and Ling can resolve the matters between both of you.”

“So, what did Jiang Hu call you for just now?”

“It’s about May. Anyway, since you have no other business, I need to go now.” He was worried about Shi Nuan going out alone, even if Jiang Hu was watching her.

“By the way, once Li Heng is back, let’s get together some time. It’s been such a long time since we saw each other. I wonder what Jingxiu is up to now as well. It has been ages since we last heard from him.”

Fu Chengyan gaped briefly before shaking his head. “Jingxiu has always acted on his own and doesn’t like others to meddle in his affairs.”

Su Shaoqing nodded. “I wonder what he’s up to that he always has to be so secretive. Ever since he came back after leaving for a few years, he seemed to have changed. And then there’s Ning Xi…” Su Shaoqing shook his head as he spoke. “Forget it, I have enough problems of my own. I better stop talking about him.”

“Mmm-hmm, well, I’m off then.”

…

The moment Shi Nuan left the Fu Residence, she received Shi Wei’s call. “I’ll wait for you at the cafe along West Avenue. If I don’t see you in one hour, the pictures will be made public.”

“Shi Wei, how dare you!” Gritting her teeth, Shi Nuan tightened her grip on the steering wheel. “I’m on my way.”

As she floored the accelerator, Shi Nuan sped towards West Avenue.

After more than forty minutes, Shi Nuan finally arrived. However, Shi Wei arrived more than an hour late. When she alighted from the car, she was delighted to see that Shi Nuan had been waiting there for a long time. She clicked her tongue before approaching Shi Nuan with Su Su following behind. “I didn’t expect the photos to be so important to you. If I had known earlier, I would have used it long ago.”

“You! You’re the one that did that to me back then, am I right?” Shi Nuan didn’t care about the photos. Instead, she was more focused on who was responsible.

Shi Nuan had always felt disturbed by the matter. She remembered fragments of what happened but mostly felt like she had forgotten about it. Nonetheless, she would still dream about it occasionally. Every time she awoke from the dream, however, she could no longer remember what happened.

The matter had been bugging her for a long time but she assumed that it would slowly fade away with time. Never would she expect Shi Wei to bring it up at all.

Looking at her sister’s reaction, Shi Wei assumed Shi Nuan was afraid. Shi Wei started to gloat. “Haha, why don’t you make a guess?”

Shi Nuan raised her eyebrows, “I have no time to play games with you. Give me the pictures.”

Shi Wei sneered at Shi Nuan. “Do you take me for a fool?” She then glared at Shi Nuan. “Where’s the thing that I asked for?”

“What thing?” Shi Nuan played dumb on purpose.

“The Huancheng shares. I asked you to bring the share transfer certificate, didn’t I?” When Shi Wei saw that Shi Nuan wasn’t being cooperative, her temper sparked. “Aren’t you worried that I will expose all your pictures?”

“Go ahead. I want to see if you have the guts to do so.” Shi Nuan snorted. “Didn’t I tell you that I have sold the shares?”

“You’re lying. It’s impossible!” Shi Wei didn’t believe Shi Nuan. “It was a gift from Granddad, there’s no way you would sell it.”

“I’m telling the truth. Half a year ago, I sold it off and told you about it. However, you chose not to believe me.” Shi Nuan shrugged, palms up, as she watched Shi Wei seethed. “Shi Wei, give me the photos!”

“You actually want me to give you the photos without the share transfer agreement? Do you think I’m an idiot?” Shi Wei took out an envelope and shook it in front of Shi Nuan. “See this? It’s filled with photos. Besides that, I have kept extras elsewhere. If you don’t give me the shares, I will destroy whatever reputation you have left. By then, the Fu clan and the Su family will see your true colors.”

Shi Nuan’s gaze narrowed while her expression darkened at the same time. However, it wasn’t out of fear. “Are you sure you want to threaten me with that?”

“How is this a threat? It’s only a fair exchange.” Shi Wei thrust her chin forward and looked at Shi Nuan gleefully. “You must be quivering in your boots by now. It wasn’t easy to get yourself married to Fu Chengyan and then reunite with your biological father. But now, it seems your world is going to collapse on you. Shi Nuan, are you terrified now?”

“Me? Terrified?” Shi Nuan couldn’t help but laugh. “Did you think I came because of the pictures?”

“What else could it be?” Shi Wei had no idea what Shi Nuan was up to. Nonetheless, she felt that Shi Nuan was just putting up a strong front. Whoever saw the photos would be afraid and it was impossible for Shi Nuan not to feel the same.
