On the first day of the new year, an uninvited guest came to the door. Jiang Shu received a strange text message: I want to see you in a nearby park.
Jiang Shu's heart skipped a beat and he guessed it. Fu Shiyan was busy with social activities today and was not around.
Qiao Xia is waiting there.
She lit a cigarette and stood under the bleak winter scenery, feeling very lonely and desolate. Her eyes were very poisonous as she stared at Jiang Shu.
"Auntie, I'm Jiang Shu." Jiang Shu forced out a polite smile.
Qiao Xia looked her up and down, smoked her cigarette and said, "Let's take a walk."
Although he is not easy to get along with, he has no airs, is not condescending, and is very equal in his words and deeds.
Qiao Xia talked about her family, and Jiang Shu made no secret of it: "I am an orphan. My stepmother is now working as a sanitation worker. My father is sick and in a vegetative state and is recuperating in the hospital. I also have a younger brother who is working."
She didn't hide it. This kind of family may be very different from the Fu family, but no matter what, the living environment is different, and no one has the right to look down on the other.
Qiao Xia gave a sarcastic smile, "Very good."
"Do you think you are worthy of Fu Shiyan?"
"..." It's too direct. "Of course I'm not worthy of him, but that's the end of the matter. I will try my best to make myself worthy of him."
Qiao Xia showed a smile that she didn't know what it meant, "Divorce will happen sooner or later."
Jiang Shu said nothing.
This park is regarded as the territory of the Ming Garden, with fruit trees planted and professional servants taking care of it. The sky is deep at this time, and the grapes hanging on the branches are crystal clear.
Someone planted it, so it must be extremely sweet.
Qiao Xia reached out and picked two of them. The tail ring of her finger brushed the fruits, but they did not change color.
Jiang Shu was shocked. She had seen such a tail ring in Fu Shiyan's hand. He once told her that the tail ring was used to test drugs and could be used at any time, for smoking, drinking or eating.
The self-protection methods inherited from the Fu family are extremely powerful.
Qiao Xia tried this because she was worried that the grape managers would spray pesticides.
It's non-toxic. Wipe it clean and hand one to Jiang Shu: "The grapes in this season should be very sweet."
Jiang Shu took it, his chest shaking.
No matter how deep the past was, she still admired the person in front of her.
Qiao Xia finally talked about their relationship.
"Fu Shiyan was young and inexperienced. I owe you and another person, but you can't have it both ways. I hope you can be the villain when the time comes."
This means that she should take the initiative to file for divorce.
Jiang Shu took a deep breath, "Auntie, I know you don't like me, and most of the Fu family doesn't like me either, but so what, Fu Shiyan likes me, do you think you can be Fu Shiyan's master?"
At this point, Qiao Xia's red lips curved, "It seems that you already know me well. Grandpa Fu tells you everything. He likes you very much."
After being seen through, Jiang Shu remained neither humble nor arrogant. She straightened her back, "It's not that I don't want to let go, but I want to ask you from Fu Shiyan's perspective. You have never cared about his growth, so what qualifications do you have to treat him?"
Pointing fingers at marriage, but pointing fingers at the woman he chooses?"
Qiao Xia changed color.
"Auntie, you still need to be self-aware as a person, are you right? If I were you, since I chose to be the hands-off shopkeeper, I wouldn't end up causing trouble for my son."
Jiang Shu spoke quickly without any stuttering. She had no intention of respecting this woman, even if she was Fu Shiyan's nominal mother.
