She was fuming, and it was clearly directed at Fu Shihan. Lu Ci and the others could tell, so they all watched in silent amusement.
Su Wanxin met Fu Shihan’s gaze with a mocking smile, "I’m truly sorry, but you are not worth the courtesy."
This asshole was trying to trick her into drinking again. Last time, because of the drinking, she had a rough few days, occasionally getting scolded by the doctor without being able to talk back.
So with all the pent-up anger, who else should she vent on if not him?
Su Wanxin was full of belligerence, and Lu Ci and the others exchanged glances, hearing her speak to Fu Shihan in such a tone for the first time.
Not worth the courtesy...
When had Fu Shihan ever been spoken to like this?
He glared at Su Wanxin as she said, "We’re already broken up, can’t you just quietly and honestly behave like an ex-boyfriend without causing trouble? You like to press people to drink so much, go find someone else for that, don’t pull that on me."
If the occasion had been appropriate, Lu Ci and the others would have felt like whistling at this point.
Huo Jingfan couldn’t help but laugh as he glanced at Fu Shihan’s face and said, "Wanwan, are you free tonight? How about we have dinner together?"
Su Wanxin looked at him, her sharp gaze softening a bit, but she still shook her head.
"I have something on tonight. Maybe another time. I’ve been busy with business trips lately, and there’s a lot to deal with at the company."
She should not have mentioned her trip—it prompted a sneer from Fu Shihan.
Where did she go on a business trip? Bin City? Who was it that was supposed to go to Bin City but ended up standing someone up?
Fu Shihan was about to get angry when Su Wanxin’s phone suddenly rang. She looked down to answer, and then she heard Zhan Che admonishing her like an old mother, begging her not to drink again.
Zhan Che has been nagging about her drinking for years.
He had once threatened her with, "If you dare to drink again, I’ll hit you with the bottle," but Su Wanxin, with her boldness and thick skin, didn’t take it seriously. Only this time, it was different.
Su Wanxin pursed her lips into a smile, nodded, and acknowledged the advice. Her pleasant demeanor instantly irked Fu Shihan, whose brain had not yet reacted, but his hand had already made its move.
Taking a step forward, he suddenly snatched the phone from her hand. From the earpiece, Zhan Che asked, "What do you want to eat tonight? I’ll make a reservation in advance."
Fu Shihan’s action made Su Wanxin startle, then annoyed, she demanded, "Give me back my phone!"
Fu Shihan clenched his teeth, feeling a stinging pain in his chest with each breath.
Who was this man? Had she been spending the last few days with him?
Su Wanxin stood up to snatch her phone back, exchanged a few words with Zhan Che, hung up, tidied up her plate, and left.
"Who was that?" Lu Ci couldn’t help asking, looking at Fu Shihan’s expression.
"I don’t know."
Fu Shihan coldly responded and walked away. Seeing this, Lu Ci and the others hurriedly followed.
Although he didn’t say anything else, they could guess from his reaction that the call was probably from a man.
Lu Ci didn’t dare to provoke Su Wanxin, fearing that she might report him to Su Yao, which would make his life difficult.
But he also didn’t dare to provoke Fu Shihan, who, when truly angered, would not let anyone off. Being caught between the two of them made it very hard to be in either’s good graces.
The lunch break ended, and it was time to pretend in front of the media again.
Su Wanxin was invited on stage, took the microphone, and began to answer the reporters’ questions.
Having not eaten her fill at lunch and upset by Fu Shihan, her expression appeared particularly cold and stern.
