Marital problems spiral out of control

The car door closed, and Fu Shishen looked at Wen Hua with a gloomy expression: "Are you satisfied now?"

"Satisfied?" Wen Hua's voice was languid.

"Wen Hua, you're so despicable!" Fu Shishen said scathingly.

"Yes, I'm shameless. But you can't do anything about it now, can you?" Wen Hua looked directly at Fu Shishen.

Fu Shishen raised his hand and slapped Wen Hua hard across the face.

Wen Hua pressed herself against the back of the chair, still showing no sign of begging for mercy.

"I'll do as you ask. From now on, you'll stay in the villa until the child is safely delivered," Fu Shishen said directly.

She wouldn't even pretend to appear in front of Wen Hua.

"Don't worry, as for Wen Yin, I will arrange for you to come see me once a week." He finished speaking.

Wen Hua didn't respond and stood quietly in place.

But she knew what it felt like to be utterly heartbroken.

Fu Shishen didn't even give her any hope, burying her cruelly in hell, leaving her no room to struggle.

But she remained outwardly calm.

Her gaze towards Fu Shishen was much more arrogant: "I only need you to remember your promise to me."

Wen Hua stood tall and straight, still refusing to compromise.

Because it's meaningless now.

The blood at the corner of his mouth had just dried; it was from the slap Fu Shishen had given him earlier.

It hurts! It hurts to the bone.

But it was gradually erasing Fu Shishen's memory from her heart.

She thought that with time, she would probably stop feeling uncomfortable.

Even this pain is now only physical, rather than a physical wound to the heart.

She would not allow Fu Shishen to continue humiliating her like this.

She turned to look out the car window.

The car became eerily quiet.

Suddenly, she was pulled back with great force.

Caught off guard, Wen Hua met Fu Shishen's eyes directly. She didn't flinch and remained calm.

Within her sight, she saw a pair of hands with distinct knuckles, calloused and pressed against the injured spot on the corner of her mouth.

A sharp pain shot through my face instantly.

Wen Hua frowned, but even so, she didn't make a sound.

"Wen Hua, stay in the villa and don't provoke me or her again. The conditions I agreed to for you weren't meant to give you the right to act recklessly. If you make her unhappy, I'll make you unhappy tenfold, a hundredfold." Fu Shishen sneered, every word a warning.

He didn't even give Wen Hua a chance to speak, and his words became increasingly harsh and vicious.

"This slap is a lesson for you. Next time, it won't be as simple as just one slap." Fu Shishen finished speaking with a cold laugh and directly pushed Wen Hua away.

Wen Hua was slammed against the car door.

She quickly grabbed the handlebars to protect herself, preventing herself from getting even more embarrassed.

Fu Shishen, however, did not look at Wen Hua again.

The car drove towards the villa, and they didn't speak to each other the entire way.

Fu Shishen did not get out of the car until it stopped in front of the villa.

The bodyguard helped Wen Hua out of the car.

Wen Hua was certainly not naive enough to believe that Fu Shishen had specially brought her back.

He was simply bringing himself back to prevent any further mishaps.

Fu Shishen promised himself he wouldn't see Jiang Ruan, but how could she believe him?

Jiang Ruan is now provoked by her, and she is also pregnant.

Fu Shishen will turn around and go find Jiang Ruan.

Wen Hua turned and walked into the villa without asking a single question.

The moment Wen Hua got out of the car, Fu Shishen immediately told the driver to drive away.

The road was slightly flooded after it had rained.

The moment the car drove off, mud splashed onto Wen Hua's skirt.

The white dress got stained instantly.

Wen Hua looked down and laughed self-deprecatingly.

Just as pathetic as she is now, yet utterly helpless.

She returned to the master bedroom to rest. The housekeeper brought her some refreshments and then quietly left without approaching Wen Hua.

Wen Hua was very tired, but she couldn't fall asleep.

The television screen was displaying various messages.

Suddenly, Wen Hua focused her gaze on the screen.

The screen shows a very important urban development strategy meeting in Jiangzhou City, attended by many high-profile entrepreneurs and leaders.

In the center position, Wen Hua saw Fu Shishen.

So Fu Shishen went to attend the meeting instead of going back to find Jiang Ruan?

This was the first time Wen Hua had misjudged the situation regarding Jiang Ruan and Fu Shishen.

She watched passively, without saying a word.

Even when the headline popped up on her phone app, she subconsciously looked down and saw that it was still about Fu Shishen.

Almost instinctively, she clicked on the title.

This is a subservient mentality that has developed over seven years of marriage, and it's hard to change it in a short time.

Because Fu Shishen never cared about Wen Hua, and it was even less likely that he would take the initiative to report his whereabouts to Wen Hua.

So she developed the habit of searching for news about Fu Shishen.

By the time she realized this, it was too late.

The video shows Fu Shishen being interviewed by a reporter.

After Fu Shishen mentioned that he had a wife, reporters asked about the relationship between Jiang Ruan and Fu Shishen.

Fu Shishen remained silent, Cheng Ming blocked the reporters, and bodyguards quickly came forward, refusing to be interviewed.

As he got into the car, he suddenly turned around and looked at the reporter.

The reporter felt a chill run down his spine under Fu Shishen's gaze.

"Miss Jiang is a very important partner of mine. I don't want any trivial gossip to affect her. That would damage the positive image of the Fu Group. So I will absolutely not let anyone who spreads rumors get away with it." Fu Shishen said clearly, word by word, with a serious face.

The reporter heard it, and Wen Hua naturally heard it too.

Wen Hua lowered her eyes and closed the video with her slender fingertips.

Yes, she's used to it.

When things are at their most critical, Fu Shishen will not hesitate to offer himself up.

But when it comes to Jiang Ruan, Fu Shishen will pave the way for her and won't let her suffer any grievances.

She had known about the difference between clouds and mud for many years.

Wen Hua steadied herself; she knew she would eventually leave this place.

Therefore, she absolutely would not allow herself to be manipulated by Fu Shishen again.

Fu Shishen's words will no longer affect her.

With these thoughts in mind, Wen Hua gradually calmed down.

She put her phone down, but at that very moment, her phone vibrated again.

The number above was extremely familiar, but it had disappeared from Wen Hua's world for seven years.

Wen Hua opened the message.

Shen Jue: [I'm in Jiangzhou.]

Concise and to the point, just like Shen Jue, who never beats around the bush.

Wen Hua tightened her grip on her phone, quietly looking at those four words.

In the end, she didn't reply with a single word.

Wen Hua knew Shen Jue's temper; if she said another word, it would only make the situation more chaotic.

She couldn't let herself get involved with Shen Jue as well.

Even Zhou Yi wouldn't agree to do that.

Wen Hua didn't reply, and Shen Jue didn't seem to contact her again.
