Su Yao finds this matter too disgusting to even talk about now. It’s just a case, isn’t it? Did it really require such a high-level scheme?
That man was also a lawyer. At the time, Su Yao thought they had a lot in common, including their interests and hobbies.
He had just graduated not long ago, eager to expand his client base and make a name for himself in the industry.
In fact, Su Yao could understand all these, considering not everyone is born with a good background like her.
But!
To deceive someone using feelings, doesn’t that deserve a damn lightning strike?!
Later, Su Yao found out that when he confessed to her, he already had a girlfriend. In other words, she, Lawyer Su, almost unwittingly became the third party!
Afterwards, just thinking about it made her scalp tingle. It’s like once bitten, twice shy. If anyone confesses to her now, there’s only one answer: You are a good person, but we are not suitable.
Yet, there’s a hurdle in her heart she could never get over because back then... she truly had feelings for him. So now, seeing him again brings not only disgust but also pain and resentment.
Hating herself for being blind, almost letting a pig score.
In a few words, Su Yao explained to Lu Ci her grudge against that scumbag and carefully avoided mentioning her own feelings at the time because she found it embarrassing.
After listening, Lu Ci nodded thoughtfully and asked, "So you rejected me because you think I’m after your business? Let’s forget about it then; I currently have no plans to pursue a career in law."
"So you’re pursuing me because you want to help Fu Shihan?" Su Yao sneered, "Don’t think I don’t know. You’d go to great lengths for a friend, but I’m not willing to suffer on behalf of your friend!"
"Fu Shihan is currently being tormented by your sister to the extent of having mental issues, so let’s not talk about that crazy guy for now."
Lu Ci was quite calm about this.
"I can’t deny it initially was because of him, as without him, I wouldn’t have met you. But, have you considered any other possibilities?"
"No." Su Yao firmly responded: "Even if there were other possibilities, I wouldn’t accept. Because of your relationship with the Fu Family, I wouldn’t want to get too entangled with you."
Lu Ci gave a bitter smile and sighed, "Wanwan has been living with the Fu Family for more than a decade, there are many things you don’t understand. Why are you so sure that the Fu Family treated her poorly?"
"Are they treating her so well that she wanted to commit suicide?"
Lu Ci: "..."
Su Yao pursed her lips and smiled, "You may think I’m being too sensitive, but in my eyes, ten sweets can’t compensate for one slap.
Perhaps they did treat Wanwan well at times, but they also truly hurt her.
My sister has looks, abilities, and background.
Why should she humble herself to please a family that doesn’t like her? Just for Fu Shihan who has a way with words and looks handsome? Why don’t you marry her then?"
"No, no, no, don’t speak nonsense."
Lu Ci was a bit flustered, knowing those words could infuriate Fu Shihan.
"Actually, Aunt Mo and the others quite like Wanwan, they’ve always treated her like a daughter all these years."
"Really?" Su Yao’s expression was sarcastic, "It seems Young Master Lu also plans to have his daughter endure hardships for others in the future?"
It’s clear to everyone whether the Fu Family treated Wanxin well, carefully nurturing her as their amulet, or truly accepting her as a daughter.
