Fang Shiqing certainly wasn’t going to listen to him. Watching Ren Yuan’s ashen face, she continued, “But I have to thank you for cheating on me back then—otherwise, Banxia wouldn’t have met such a good match.”
“Do you really think Pei Shaoze truly loves Su Banxia?”
Ren Yuan let out a cold laugh.
The affections of a wealthy young master came easily and faded just as fast. He doubted Su Banxia had found her soulmate this time.
Fang Shiqing glanced at him, raising an eyebrow. “Even if this feeling is fleeting, what he brings to Banxia is far more than what you ever did.”
“This is between me and Banxia. It’s not your place to stir up trouble here.”
Ren Yuan clenched his jaw, speaking coldly.
“Ren Yuan, do you think if you go back and beg Banxia now, she’ll take you back?”
Fang Shiqing looked up at him, her gaze piercing.
For some reason, facing that stare, Ren Yuan felt an inexplicable panic. He knew Su Banxia—she was meticulous in matters of the heart and wouldn’t tolerate infidelity.
He had personally destroyed their future. He had ruined the happiness that belonged to them.
Sensing the regret radiating from Ren Yuan, Fang Shiqing sneered, “A scumbag is a scumbag wherever he goes. It’s really a shame that Gu Feifei stuck with you for so long and never got a shred of your love!”
With that, Fang Shiqing couldn’t be bothered to talk to Ren Yuan any longer and turned to leave.
Ren Yuan stood there, anger and remorse intertwining, gradually flooding his entire being.
The next day, everything was as usual.
After resting for a night, Su Banxia felt completely refreshed. She watched Pei Shaoze leave for work, then got out of bed, ready to take a stroll downstairs.
Being cooped up in bed for a day had nearly driven her crazy!
“Miss Su.”
A nurse slowly pushed a cart toward her. “You’re feeling better?”
Yesterday, when she came to check on Su Banxia, she’d seen her looking listless and assumed her condition had worsened. So today, she’d arranged for the attending physician to examine her, only to find her lively and out of bed.
“Nurse Xia.”
Su Banxia gave an awkward smile. “After resting for a night, I’m much better now. I’m planning to go downstairs and get some sun.”
“That’s good. Staying in bed all the time isn’t great for your health. Moving around a bit is fine.”
The nurse nodded at her.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Su Banxia quickly slipped away.
The sunlight was warm, pleasant against the skin.
Su Banxia strolled through the garden, feeling a genuine warmth in her heart.
“Su Banxia!”
Gu Feifei, holding a medical report, stood not far away, glaring at her venomously.
Hearing that familiar voice, Su Banxia couldn’t help but look up. She couldn’t help but gasp—had she checked the almanac before going out?
Why did she always run into something unclean every time she came down to relax?
Gu Feifei strode over to her in a few quick steps. Having just undergone surgery, her face was slightly pale, but it didn’t diminish her overbearing demeanor.
“You bitch, don’t think just because Pei Shaoze has your back, you can do whatever you want!”
Gu Feifei’s expression was extremely displeased.
Ren Yuan’s attitude last night had truly struck a nerve.
Though she didn’t love that man deeply, she absolutely wouldn’t allow something that belonged to her to be taken by Su Banxia.
“Then why don’t you find yourself a wealthy bachelor to back you up?”
Su Banxia shot her a glance, her words dripping with sarcasm.
“You!”
Gu Feifei’s face turned livid.
Su Banxia looked at her flat stomach and clicked her tongue. “You’d better save your energy and focus on recovering.”
“Su Banxia, I’ll destroy you. Just you wait—I won’t let you off!”
Gu Feifei’s fingers curled toward her palms, the chill in her eyes deepening.
“Miss Gu, why can’t you see reason? You stole my boyfriend from me back then, and I didn’t hold it against you. So why are you still clinging to me now?”
Su Banxia looked at her with a hint of amusement.
She didn’t want to deal with this woman, but the other party just kept pushing.
“If he truly belonged to you, I could never have taken him. That only proves you two were never meant to be.”
Gu Feifei said bluntly.
Hearing this ridiculous argument, Su Banxia shook her head helplessly. “Miss Gu, you’re quite the talent. Have you gotten too used to being the other woman?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Not only did you steal my boyfriend, but you also climbed into the bed of Shiqing’s ex. You really know how to stir things up.”
Su Banxia clicked her tongue.
Gu Feifei’s pupils involuntarily widened. “So it really is you, you bitch!”
“Considering you just had an abortion, I won’t say anything to provoke you. But I’m warning you—don’t come looking for trouble. I’m not as easygoing as I used to be.”
Su Banxia’s entire aura flared up.
Perhaps from spending so much time with Pei Shaoze, she had picked up about seventy or eighty percent of his commanding presence.
Gu Feifei was momentarily stunned, standing there speechless.
Seizing the opportunity, Su Banxia walked away calmly. To her, Gu Feifei was nothing but a lunatic who loved to pick fights.
Gu Feifei stood there, watching Su Banxia disappear from sight, and rage surged within her once more.
Time and again, she had been bested by this woman—how could she swallow this bitter pill?
“Bitch!
Bitch!”
Burning with fury, Gu Feifei stomped her foot and turned into the examination room.
Su Banxia made it back to her ward smoothly and let out a sigh of relief. Seeing that it was still early, she sat on the bed and picked up a magazine from the side.
Drowsiness gradually set in, and she drifted off to sleep. When she woke up, it was already completely dark.
Fang Shiqing arrived first, bringing her dinner. Not seeing Pei Shaoze, Su Banxia couldn’t help but feel a bit curious.
“President Pei has an international conference today. He’ll probably come late. Just make do with this for now—I stood in a long line to get it for you.”
Fang Shiqing pouted in dissatisfaction.
They were both human, so why was the treatment so different?
“Thanks.”
Su Banxia smiled awkwardly, taking the lunchbox from her.
“Is that the face you make when you see me? Su Banxia, you’re such a fair-weather friend!”
Fang Shiqing grew even more displeased.
Su Banxia cleared her throat and said slowly, “I’m just worried about you overworking yourself. You have to take care of the kids and come to the hospital to look after me.”
At this explanation, Fang Shiqing’s expression finally softened. “At least you have some conscience.”
“By the way, is work busy at the company lately?”
Su Banxia held her chopsticks, suddenly asking seriously.
