Shen Fanxing gripped the teacup tightly. Her whole body had turned icy cold, as though she was inside an icehouse.
"You're saying… before I left the country, Su Heng has fallen for Shen Qianrou?"
Cai Jingyi's face was streaming with tears. Upon hearing Shen Fanxing's question, her face stiffened before she bit her lips and nodded.
Shen Fanxing slowly shifted her gaze to Su Heng's face, where she saw the guilt in his eyes.
She stared at him for a long time. Her heart trembled as she asked, "You fell in love with her before I went overseas? You struggled for six years during our relationship?"
Su Heng didn't speak, but the deepening guilt in his eyes had given her an answer.
Shen Fanxing sneered coldly and replied, "I thought it happened when I was overseas. I assumed you couldn't stand the loneliness and hooked up with her… I didn't expect… it was way before that…"
Shen Fanxing spoke softly, full of sarcasm.
Yet, every word was like a knife that stabbed into Su Heng's heart.
Shen Fanxing couldn't help but feel sorrowful and bitter.
It turned out that they were more shameless than she had imagined.
"Su Heng, can I ask you a question?"
Su Heng opened his mouth and nodded silently.
"What do you like about Shen Qianrou? Because she is beautiful, innocent, kind and gentle?"
Shen Fanxing stared at Su Heng intently without blinking.
Su Heng stiffened under her cold and pressurizing gaze.
He couldn't utter a single word, but Shen Fanxing seemed determined to hear his response.
After a long while—
"Yes…"
That word seemed to squeeze every ounce of energy out of him.
Something flashed across Shen Fanxing's eyes before she gave a cold laugh. She quipped, "I see… these are the qualities which I don't have…"
"Fanxing…" Su Heng's voice was hoarse." Sorry…"
"I've said it before, I won't accept your apology… Not every apology can receive a corresponding forgiveness. The two of you will not be together with a clear conscience! The reason you like her… I finally understand. I won't stop the both of you from being together!"
Upon hearing Shen Fanxing's statement, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Jiang Rongrong pressed on,
"As long as you can put everything behind you! Don't worry, I have already found a suitable match for you. You've met him before. Ding Haoding is the young master from the Ding Corporation…"
Su Heng tensed and looked at Jiang Rongrong.
"Grandma!"
Shen Fanxing frowned and stood up abruptly.
"Save your effort, Nobody has the right to interfere in my life!"
"How dare you!" Shen Defan berated her suddenly.
"How dare you speak to your grandmother like that? What do you mean by no one has the right to interfere in your life? Aren't you aware of being part of the Shen family?"
"All these years… have you treated me as family?"
"You… ungrateful girl! Don't forget the stupid things you did back then. Who helped you handle everything and sent you overseas?"
Shen Fanxing massaged her temples and said, "It's the Shen family."
"Hmph! You remembered too!"
"Yes, I remember everything. That year, because I didn't listen to all of you and signed up for the competition of my own accord. All the reporters found me in the resting room with the judge, in a disheveled state.. I said I was being forced but the judge said I seduced him. All of you believed the judge's words but not mine…"
