After walking a long way, she finally reached the entrance to the villa complex and, braving the cold wind, called a car.
As soon as she got in, Yan Sui received ten million yuan that Yan Zhaohua had transferred to her.
The Yan family had given her plenty of spending money over the years, but most of it had gone toward Fu Qingci.
Yan Sui suddenly remembered that she still had something very important in her possession.
The IOU Fu Qingci had written her!
Her memories told her that although Fu Qingci had been poor back then, he had a great deal of pride.
To protect Fu Qingci’s pride, “she” had concealed her identity from him at first.
When Fu Qingci eventually found out, he had flown into a rage and left her an IOU.
In essence, it said that no matter how much money Yan Sui had lent him, he would repay her tenfold in the future.
Ten times the amount—that was no small sum.
Yan Sui covered her mouth with a hand and giggled. Another windfall!
She got out of the car, and before she had even entered the complex, she met Fu Qingci’s icy gaze.
She’d nearly forgotten that, to make it easier to fawn over Fu Qingci, she had rented an apartment in the same complex as him.
Yan Sui pursed her lips. It didn’t matter. She could always move.
She looked away and walked past him as if nothing were the matter.
But Fu Qingci’s mocking voice rang in her ears. “I wondered how long you’d hold out. Not even a day, and you’re already here to apologize to me?”
He had already heard from Yan Mo that Yan Sui had been kicked out of the Yan family.
He felt no sympathy for her. If anything, he thought the timing couldn’t have been better.
Yan Sui had lost her last remaining support. Now she would come crawling back to him and keep fawning over him.
“Yan Sui, even if you apologize and beg me now, it won’t do you any good! You’re not three years old anymore. It’s time you learned to take responsibility for the stupid mistakes you make!”
Yan Sui watched him quietly as he put on his little performance. Suddenly, she thought he was practically born for show business.
He could put on a whole act without even a stage.
But Fu Qingci was waiting for her to lower her head and apologize. When she still didn’t say a word, his expression turned even colder.
“What are you standing there for?”
Yan Sui said, “I’ve never seen shit talk before. It’s fascinating.”
Fu Qingci choked, his face turning the color of liver.
He bellowed angrily, “Yan Sui!”
“Why are you yelling so loud? I heard you the first time, dog!”
Yan Sui rubbed her ears and turned to leave.
She was still muttering, “What a bad omen.”
Fuming with humiliation, Fu Qingci called after her, “Where are you going?”
Hadn’t Yan Sui come here to see him?
He clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking.
“If you apologize to me now, I might consider clearing up those things about you online.”
If he hadn’t brought it up, Yan Sui might have let it go. But the moment he mentioned the rumors online, her anger flared.
She stopped and let go of her bag. Her luggage hit the ground with a thud.
Fu Qingci felt rather pleased with himself. He had always found it easy to keep Yan Sui under his thumb.
But just as he was about to speak, Yan Sui moved so fast she was almost a blur. In the blink of an eye, she was in front of him, slapping him several times across the face.
Yan Sui wasn’t an ordinary person. Her superpower could enhance her physical abilities. Back in the apocalypse, one slap from her would have sent Fu Qingci flying.
But she had only just returned and hadn’t yet adjusted to her original body. On top of that, spiritual energy was scarce in this world, and her strength had declined badly.
Even after several slaps, all she managed to do was split the corner of his mouth.
While he was still dazed from the blows, Yan Sui kicked him and gave a vicious grin.
“Have you ever added up how much you’ve spent of my money over the past five years? Tuition, living expenses—even your mother’s medical bills came out of my pocket! Without me, your mother would’ve been dead by now, and you’d still be out begging somewhere! Fu Qingci, what gives you the nerve to threaten me?”
“I don’t need you to clear anything up. Of course I’m not a homewrecker. I wouldn’t touch trash like you!”
“I still have your IOU. You haven’t forgotten that you’re supposed to repay ten times what you’ve spent over the years, have you? I suggest you pay me back quietly. Otherwise, I don’t mind hiring a lawyer and suing you. You don’t want this debt lawsuit making headlines everywhere, do you?”
Fu Qingci propped himself up on his arms, staring at her in a daze.
No. How could Yan Sui treat him like this?
“You—you’re not Yan Sui. Who are you?”
Yan Sui lifted her chin, her expression scornful. “I am Yan Sui, the genuine article!”
She picked up her luggage again and walked away.
Fu Qingci’s face turned pale, then flushed red. Only then did he remember that Yan Sui lived here too.
So she really hadn’t come to see him.
The realization made his face burn.
Yan Sui didn’t care what he thought. She went straight back to her rental apartment.
She had rented a one-bedroom apartment with a living room. It wasn’t large, but it was clean and tidy.
Renting in this neighborhood wasn’t cheap.
It wasn’t as if she didn’t own a home, so there was no need to waste money on rent.
Yan Sui booked a cleaner online to clean the large apartment she owned.
Then she contacted her landlord to discuss ending her lease.
Fortunately, the landlord was easygoing and agreed without hesitation.
After that, she went to Changjing Group several times to see Fu Yansheng, hoping to get closer to her future husband.
But every time, she left disappointed.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Yan Sui moved out of the rental apartment and into her own spacious home.
When she woke up in her custom-made five-meter-wide bed, she casually picked up her phone.
A new friend request had popped up on WeChat. The note said the sender was Fu Yansheng’s secretary, surnamed An.
Yan Sui woke right up and sprang out of bed.
Here it comes! Her monthly allowance of several million!
Secretary An: “Hello, Miss Yan Sui. I’m President Fu’s secretary. You can call me Xiao An.”
Secretary An: “When would be convenient for you? There are a few things I need to discuss with you in person.”
Yan Sui: “I’m free anytime.”
She arranged to meet Secretary An that afternoon.
Since she had time to spare, Yan Sui booked a stylist to come to her home.
Her instructions were: “Today’s theme is two words: dignified!”
No matter how wild she was by nature, she had to get through the first meeting without raising any alarms.
Once her hair and makeup were done, she went to meet Secretary An.
Secretary An was a capable, poised woman.
After a brief handshake, Secretary An got straight to the point.
“Although President Fu has already discussed breaking off the engagement with the Yan family, and they have no objections…”
Yan Sui jolted. “Wait!”
Secretary An stopped and looked up at her.
At their first meeting, she had been struck by Yan Sui’s beauty.
Her lips were like cherry blossoms, her nose delicate, her skin as white as snow. Every feature was beautiful in just the right measure.
Most striking of all were her eyes, bright as stars, as though they held boundless strength.
But her polished heiress’s outfit clashed with her temperament and suppressed her natural spark.
She seemed like someone who should be free, unrestrained.
“Miss Yan Sui, do you have a question?”
Of course Yan Sui had a question. A very big one!
“You just said… breaking off the engagement? Fu Yansheng broke off our engagement?”
Secretary An asked in return, “President Fu made his intention to break off the engagement clear two months ago. Didn’t President Yan and Madam Yan tell you?”
Yan Sui stared at her, stunned. Now it all made sense.
No wonder Zou Shuangyun had thrown her out of the Yan family without hesitation over something Yan Mo had said.
It was because Yan Sui was no longer of any use.
Yan Mo, on the other hand, was close to Fu Qingci.
Over the past few days, Yan Sui had heard rumors that Fu Yansheng’s elder half-brother, who shared the same father, intended to acknowledge Fu Qingci as his illegitimate son and bring him back into the Fu family.
If Fu Qingci returned to the Fu family, Yan Mo’s marriage to him would count as an alliance between the Yan and Fu families.
Set side by side, Yan Sui and Yan Mo’s relative importance was obvious.
