Marital problems spiral out of control

Wen Hua loves painting, which Fu Shishen used to disdain, but now he's here discussing her oil paintings with her.

Wen Hua also enjoys baking, and Fu Shishen would support her, but he doesn't actually eat sweets much.

Even if it was made by Jiang Ruan, he would only take a bite as a gesture of goodwill and wouldn't touch it more than that.

The tension between the two gradually eased in this atmosphere.

But this atmosphere made Wen Hua feel somewhat dazed.

It felt like we were back to the very beginning of our marriage.

She was unaware of the relationship between Jiang Ruan and Fu Shishen. Fu Shishen would occasionally explain Jiang Ruan's situation to Wen Hua.

Although he is indifferent to me, at least he will remain the same as he is now.

To maintain a superficial peace.

Wen Hua knew about the greed in people's hearts.

It seemed that in this period of calm, she began to greedily want more.

She even seriously considered whether she should give this marriage another chance for the sake of the child in her womb.

However, this idea completely collapses whenever Wen Hua thinks about Jiang Ruan being pregnant.

She can't afford to gamble.

Therefore, Wen Hua eventually fell into extremely distorted emotions.

Fu Shishen watched Wen Hua's every move.

He lowered his eyes, concealing his thoughts quite well.

After all, this is exactly the kind of gentle woman he wants.

He would never let Wen Hua slip out of his control.

Everything before was just an accident.

Because of Fu Shishen's injury, he didn't go to the company, and all meetings were held online.

When he returned to his study, Wen Hua's phone vibrated.

This phone was only reactivated after I bought a new one and got a new SIM card.

She looked down at the phone; it was Su Zhiyi calling.

Wen Hua answered.

"Huahua, you finally answered the phone! Where are you? Did something happen?" Su Zhiyi's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.

Wen Hua was taken away by Zhou Yi without her knowing.

But she heard the rumors that Fu Shishen had brought Wen Hua back.

Su Zhiyi immediately tried to contact Wen Hua, but her phone was switched off.

For a long time, she couldn't contact Wen Hua, and her fear was obvious.

Only now, when Wen Hua's call connected, did Su Zhiyi finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"I'm fine, don't worry about me," Wen Hua's calm voice came through.

"Don't lie to me, why can't I contact you? Your phone is switched off! Why did Fu Shishen take you out of the military compound? What happened?" Su Zhiyi was extremely anxious.

Wen Hua did not answer immediately; she was organizing her thoughts.

Then she told Su Zhiyi everything that had happened recently.

He was taken away from himself.

Fu Shishen used the apartment and Wen Yin to threaten him.

And now, with all the things between her and Fu Shishen.

She told Su Zhiyi everything in detail.

Su Zhiyi remained silent after hearing these words.

"Huahua, you..." She couldn't find the right words for a long time.

"I can ignore Mom's apartment. I know what Mom wants most is for me to live a good life." Wen Hua's voice was filled with exhaustion.

As she spoke, she sighed deeply, "But I can't be completely selfish and ignore Wen Yin's life or death. Wen Yin is my brother, and the fact that he's still alive is a wonderful surprise for me. Even if he's in pain, miserable, or wronged right now, I can't just abandon him like I said I would. I can't do it."

"..."

"So I can't leave, because I can't leave Wen Yin either. At the very least, I have to see Wen Yin, otherwise if I leave, I'll probably have a guilty conscience for the rest of my life."

Wen Hua remained calm and expressed her meaning clearly.

Su Zhiyi fell silent.

Having been Wen Hua's best friend for so many years, she naturally knew about these things concerning the Wen family.

Finally, Su Zhiyi sighed, "But what does this all mean? Fu Shishen plans to have two wives on each side. Does he think this is still the Qing Dynasty? Are there still concubines? The Qing Dynasty is long gone!"

By the end, Su Zhiyi was quite angry.

This is to speak out for Wen Hua.

Of course she knew about Wen Hua's feelings for Fu Shishen.

That's why she was firmly controlled by Fu Shishen.

She feared that Wen Hua would eventually lose her life here.

Thinking about it, Su Zhiyi became increasingly silent.

"Zhiyi, my decision to divorce has never changed," Wen Hua said quietly.

These words surprised Su Zhiyi, but she didn't say anything and listened patiently.

Wen Hua laughed self-deprecatingly: "Jiang Ruan's pregnancy is a fact, and the existence of this child is also a fact, so we can't go back to the past, and I can't ignore this child. Jiang Ruan is the apple of his eye, and how could he possibly completely ignore Jiang Ruan's child?"

As she spoke, Wen Hua lowered her head and placed her hands on her lower abdomen, her eyes revealing even more obvious weariness.

"But I can't do it either, it's really cruel to abandon my own child. And I remember all the kindness Grandpa showed me. I just want to find a compromise." Wen Hua finished speaking, word by word.

"Huahua, is that really what you think?" Su Zhiyi asked her in return.

"Yes," Wen Hua replied affirmatively.

Su Zhiyi's lips moved, but she didn't say the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

She was an observer, and she saw things clearly.

Wen Hua was being manipulated by Fu Shishen, who was holding her to her weak spot.

Even if he really wanted to leave, Fu Shishen would try every means to stop him.

In matters of cunning and shrewdness, Wen Hua is no match for Fu Shishen.

Ultimately, it is because Wen Hua loves Fu Shishen that she has endured until now.

The determination in Wen Hua's words seemed to Su Zhiyi as something that could change at any moment.

And this variable is Fu Shishen.

"Huahua, you can decide for yourself." Su Zhiyi finished speaking quietly.

"Okay," Wen Hua replied. "Once I confirm Wen Yin's situation and her visa is approved, I'll take Wen Yin with me. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

This time, Su Zhiyi didn't say anything more.

Just then, the housekeeper rushed down to find Wen Hua: "Madam, Mr. Fu refuses to let anyone else change the dressing; he wants you to go upstairs."

"I'll do it," Wen Hua replied calmly.

The butler breathed a sigh of relief.

The butler was of course aware of the cold war between Wen Hua and Fu Shishen.

So he was really afraid that Wen Hua would abandon them, and then none of them would be able to face Fu Shishen's anger.

Even if the two hadn't argued, when Fu Shishen was sick, only Wen Hua could take care of him; no one else could get close to him.

Outsiders might not know, but the butler knew it perfectly well.

Even if Jiang Ruan were replaced, this person wouldn't work.

So sometimes he's not even sure who would die without whom.

Wen Hua has already gone upstairs.

Fu Shishen, with a stern face, was giving a speech to the video.

The maid stood nervously to the side, not daring to move forward at all.

The ground was a mess, where Fu Shishen had thrown things when he was upset.

The medicine and bandages were placed to the side.
