After being missing for five years, President Fu's eyes welled up with tears when they met agai

As they were talking, Chen Shu had already brought Wen Qingruan to his side.

"Young Master Shen! It's a pleasure to meet you!"

Chen Shu fawned over him, extending his hands, but Shen He didn't even glance at him.

"Is this Mr. Chen?"

Shen He chuckled.

"You have good taste; you've found yourself a capable fiancée."

Chen Shu could easily hear the sarcasm in Shen He's words.

But he never cared about any of that. As long as he could make money, what did it matter if he heard a few unpleasant words? So what if he relied on women!

Shen He only got to where he is today because of his family!

Chen Shu put his arm around Wen Qingruan beside him.

"Xiao Ruan and I have a good relationship, and she always wants to help me with my career."

"Yeah?"

Shen He's gaze fell on Wen Qingruan.

"Then you really have found a... virtuous wife! But you should be careful. This Miss Wen is very calculating. Now that you are successful in your career, she is protecting your wealth and glory. But if something happens to you one day, she probably won't hesitate for a second and will run away without looking back."

After all, this wasn't the first time she'd done something like this.

Wen Qingruan, am I right?

Shen He's voice wasn't quiet, and since there were already quite a few people watching them, his words were naturally heard by them.

Wen Qingruan stood there, enduring their blatant mockery and ridicule.

She has no right to care.

"Young Master Shen is joking. Little Ruan would never do that to me. We have a very good relationship."

Chen Shu smiled, probably wanting to prove something, and leaned in towards Wen Qingruan, pretending to kiss her.

"Shen He!"

A chilling voice interrupted Chen Shu's actions.

Wen Qingruan wanted to push Chen Shu's hand away, but she stopped in her tracks.

She recognized the voice; it was Fu Yanci…

Before my eyes could even perceive it, I was struck by the familiar scent of sandalwood.

That was the scent of Fu Yanci.

Wen Qingruan looked down and saw that the hem of her skirt was gently touching his suit, just like five years ago when they attended various parties together.

Until the man in the black suit walked away from her, until Shen He's voice came.

"Brother Yanci, you've come at the perfect time!"

You remember him, right? Wen Qingruan's fiancé, the one I met at the coffee shop last time. They…”

Shen He wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Fu Yanci.

"When did you become so gossipy?"

Shen He ignored Fu Yanci's warning.

Today he must make Yan Ci see clearly just how heartless and ungrateful Chu Wen Qing Ruan truly is!

"Wen Qingruan, you still haven't told me why you asked me to meet your fiancé that day."

Just like you said, out of consideration for our past relationship, I'll grant whatever request you make today.

Shen He wanted Wen Qingruan to beg him personally to help Chen Shu, so that Fu Yanci could hear that the woman he cared about was not worth his years of longing!

Wen Qingruan lowered her head.

She could feel the gaze upon her, burning hot; it was Fu Yanci looking at her…

The hand on her shoulder kept tightening, reminding her that Luo Luo's surgery fee was just a matter of her decision, and also reminding her that Fu Yanci and she were no longer a possibility.

She finally raised her head and even took the initiative to link her arm with Chen Shu's.

"Shen He, my fiancé, has always wanted to find an opportunity to cooperate with the Shen family. Considering our past relationship, I would like you to give Chen Guang a chance."

She said those words with a smile, swallowing her tears.

Fu Yanci, just continue to loathe and hate me...

You should have your own future and have nothing to do with me anymore...

Fu Yanci stared at Wen Qingruan, looking at the glaring smile on her face, trying to see something from it.

In the end, all he saw was that annoying man next to her with his damned arm around her shoulder, a forced smile on his face, bowing and scraping before him.

"President Shen, President Fu, you two are Xiao Ruan's friends, which means you are my friends too."

"On my wedding day with Xiao Ruan, I would be grateful if you could both grace us with your presence."

Fu Yanci could no longer stay there.

He knew that his composure and self-control were simply not enough in front of Wen Qingruan.

Before, I was infatuated with her and crazy about her; now, I hate her, resent her, and blame myself for not being able to let her go.

He turned and left without giving Wen Qingruan another glance.

This was exactly the result Shen He wanted.

"Wen Qingruan, stay away from Yanci-ge!"

Remember this warning, or I can make you lose everything!

And you too!

Shen He pointed at Chen Shu, "Keep an eye on your woman, don't let her have any improper thoughts! Otherwise, Chenguang will be ruined in your hands."

After saying that, Shen He turned and walked towards the crowd.

There stood a group of well-dressed people, and Fu Yanci was among them.

Wen Qingruan's gaze unconsciously fell on Fu Yanci, but a voice rang in her ears.

Stop looking!

They've already made it clear enough that you should stay away from them in the future!

Come with me, I promise, I will...

Wen Qingruan! Where are you going?!

Before Chen Shu could finish speaking, Wen Qingruan had already turned and walked out.

The sound of a live band playing behind her was irrelevant to her.

She completed her deal with Chen Shu, and the money for Luo Luo's surgery was raised. After Luo Luo's surgery, she would take Luo Luo away from Kyoto.

Just like the past five years, I've forgotten everything about Kyoto—the people and the events of Kyoto…

Fu Yanci watched Wen Qingruan's departing figure, his eyes deep and somber.

Shen He handed over a glass of wine.

"Now, can you let go?"

Fu Yanci withdrew his gaze and looked at Shen He's face.

The two were childhood friends, and Shen He naturally understood that Fu Yanci's look was an accusation that he was meddling in other people's business.

He lost his temper. "Fu Yanci, we've known each other for almost thirty years. Are you going to blame me for this woman?!"

Fu Yanci looked away, took the wine glass from the plate the waiter was carrying, and drank it all in one gulp.

"You should be grateful that I still value our thirty-year friendship! Otherwise, given how you've treated her time and time again, I would have turned against you long ago!"

After saying that, Fu Yanci slammed the wine glass back onto the table and left with a cold expression.

Shen He angrily ran his hand through his hair, feeling a surge of frustration welling up inside him.

He couldn't understand what was so good about Wen Qingruan that made Fu Yanci so infatuated!

Well, he was just being nosy!

Even if Fu Yanci is completely swindled and left with nothing but bones, he won't care anymore!

Wen Qingruan walked out of the crowd alone.

Chen Shu naturally wouldn't leave with her.

This party was attended by prominent figures in Kyoto, so how could Chen Shu miss the opportunity to get to know them?

As Wen Qingruan emerged from the banquet hall, wearing only a thin evening gown, she couldn't help but shiver.

She hugged her arms tightly and called a taxi on her phone, but she had to get to the manor gate first.

Fu Yanci was right behind her and naturally saw everything.

He summoned a waiter, gave him a few instructions, and continued to follow Wen Qingruan at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

"Miss Wen!"

Wen Qingruan was stopped by someone.
