It was the last weekend of the month, and for once, Fu Sinian didn’t go to the company to work overtime. Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the study, casting a faint glow across his focused profile. He was handling some household financial matters—a habit they had developed since marriage. At the end of every month, he would review and manage the transactions of both their accounts.
Su Wanning had never paid much attention to finances. All her bank cards and credit cards had always been managed by him. He still remembered how, in the early days of their marriage, she didn’t even know how to check her own credit card statements, always acting spoiled and asking him to handle everything. Back then, he found her dependence on him endearing. Now, thinking about it, perhaps she had simply never cared about such trivial matters.
He opened the transaction history of one of Su Wanning’s commonly used debit cards, his gaze sweeping quickly across the screen. Suddenly, an unusual transaction caught his attention… ten days ago, there had been an outgoing transfer of 100,000 yuan, and the recipient’s name was clearly displayed: Gu Jingchen.
Fu Sinian’s fingers paused on the mouse for a moment before slowly tightening. 100,000 yuan… the exact same amount Lu Zeyan had discovered as the funding gap in Gu Jingchen’s company.
He stared at that name, his gaze gradually turning cold. So it wasn’t just emotional betrayal… now money was involved as well. He recalled how Su Wanning had always been indifferent to money, hesitating for ages even when buying a handbag. Yet now, she had so generously transferred 100,000 yuan to another man—without even mentioning it to him.
He sat silently in front of the computer for a long time. In the end, Fu Sinian pressed the screenshot key and saved the transaction record. The evidence was irrefutable. He wanted to see what excuse Su Wanning would come up with this time.
It wasn’t until evening that Su Wanning returned home. She had clearly dressed up today, wearing a newly bought dress, a lingering trace of joy still on her face. However, the moment she saw Fu Sinian sitting in the living room, her smile faded slightly.
“Why are you back so early today?” she asked casually while changing her shoes.
Fu Sinian didn’t answer. He simply looked at her in silence. The cheap star necklace around her neck glimmered faintly under the light. At that moment, he suddenly felt that the woman before him was terrifyingly unfamiliar.
“I checked last month’s account transactions,” he said bluntly, his voice so calm it carried no emotion.
Su Wanning paused slightly, her eyes flickering for a brief moment. “Why did you suddenly look at that?” Read this novel at g.com for the best experience.
Fu Sinian placed the printed transfer record on the coffee table and pushed it toward her. “Explain this. What’s with this 100,000 yuan transfer?”
Su Wanning’s face turned deathly pale in an instant. She hurried over, picked up the paper, her fingers trembling slightly. But soon, she forced herself to calm down, even deliberately raising her voice.
“You checked my account?” Her tone carried deliberate anger. “Fu Sinian, since when did you stop trusting me?”
Fu Sinian watched her coldly, unmoved by her performance. “Answer my question.”
“Gu Jingchen is my classmate. His family ran into an emergency, so I lent him some money to help him get through it. What’s wrong with that?” Su Wanning said righteously, as if Fu Sinian were the one in the wrong. “Do you have to make such a big deal out of it?”
“An emergency?” Fu Sinian raised an eyebrow slightly. “What kind of emergency requires 100,000 yuan? And since when have you been so generous to an ordinary classmate… generous enough not to even discuss it with me?”
Su Wanning was left speechless, her gaze darting around in panic. She hadn’t thought about how to explain the purpose of the money at all, nor had she expected Fu Sinian to check her accounts.
“I… I just saw that you’ve been busy with work lately. I didn’t want to bother you with something so trivial…” her voice grew softer, her confidence clearly lacking.
“Trivial?” Fu Sinian repeated the word, a mocking curve forming on his lips. “100,000 yuan is trivial to you? Or is it that Gu Jingchen’s matters have never been trivial to you?”
That remark struck a nerve. Su Wanning’s expression turned ugly. Suddenly, as if she had found a way out, tears welled up in her eyes.
“Fu Sinian, what do you mean by that? You just don’t trust me, do you?” she shouted, her voice choked with sobs. “In your eyes, am I the kind of person who would betray our marriage?”
Fu Sinian watched her quietly, his heart utterly cold. In the past, seeing her cry would have made him rush forward to comfort her. Now, he only found it laughable. You are reading on novelping . com, the official source.
“Whether I’ve wronged you or not, you know it best,” he said calmly, yet with undeniable force. “From that cufflink to today’s 100,000 yuan transfer, Su Wanning… do you really think I’m a fool?”
Su Wanning’s crying stopped abruptly. She stared at Fu Sinian in fear, as if seeing him for the first time. She had never seen him question her so calmly. That all-seeing gaze left her nowhere to hide.
“You… you investigated me?” her voice trembled.
Fu Sinian didn’t answer. He simply stood up, looking down at her from above. “This 100,000 yuan will be deducted from your allowance. As for Gu Jingchen…” he paused, his gaze sharp as a blade, “I hope this is the last time.”
With that, he turned and walked toward the door.
“Fu Sinian!” Su Wanning screamed from behind him. “You’re a cold-blooded man! You only ever measure everything with money! Jingchen was right—you don’t understand what real feelings are at all!”
Fu Sinian stopped at the doorway but didn’t turn back. His figure stood tall under the light, yet unbearably lonely.
“The one who doesn’t understand feelings… is you,” he said quietly, then left without looking back.
The door closed softly, leaving Su Wanning alone in the living room. She collapsed onto the floor, tears blurring her vision. Yet even she didn’t know how much of those tears were genuine regret… and how much were anger and humiliation after being exposed.
Outside, the night grew deeper. And within this home, once filled with warmth, a marriage was visibly crumbling. Once trust cracks, it becomes like a shattered mirror… never whole again.
