Ch 72: Fu Xicheng Throws Them Away

Fu Xicheng went downstairs.

The man had already been beaten black and blue by the bodyguards, kneeling and begging for mercy.

He felt incredibly unlucky.

Looking at Fu Xicheng, he honestly confessed everything.

“I only wanted to steal money, I really didn’t intend to hurt her, it’s that woman, she herself is sick…”

The words “sick” had just left his mouth when Fu Xicheng suddenly raised his leg and kicked him in the mouth.

The man let out an “ow,” falling to the ground.

He painfully covered his mouth, his mouth full of blood.

Unable to hold it in, he spat out a mouthful of blood, along with several teeth.

His eyes looked at Fu Xicheng in terror.

He didn’t know where he had offended this terrifying god.

“Continue, and watch your mouth.”

Chen Yang raised his leg and kicked the man hard.

Miss Su was someone this trash could insult?

The man, enduring the intense pain in his mouth, pulled out the necklace he had snatched from Su Tingwan from his pocket.

Seeing the necklace made him furious.

He had already had someone appraise it; this necklace wasn’t even worth as much as her coat.

Forgetting the pain, he spoke, his resentment evident in his tone.

“It’s such a worthless thing, yet she treasured it like a baby. I thought it was very valuable, so I wanted to grab it.”

“But she suddenly went crazy, desperately protecting it, so I thought this necklace was very valuable…”

He didn’t mention what Su Tingwan said about it containing her daughter’s bone, kept as a memento.

In his eyes, that was nonsense, pure fabrication.

In their old village, no one cared about their daughters.

And to make a necklace out of their daughter’s bone? Ridiculous.

“I only resorted to violence because I had no choice… ah!”

Accompanied by the man’s piercing scream!

Crack!

Fu Xicheng directly broke the man’s arm.

The necklace fell into his hand.

Fu Xicheng lowered his eyes to look at the necklace in his palm, then raised his eyes, his voice cold and low as he asked, “She cares a lot about this necklace?”

“Yes!”

The man didn’t know why Fu Xicheng asked this, but seeing him ask, he was afraid Fu Xicheng wouldn’t believe he didn’t intentionally hit her.

He wanted to prove himself, urgently saying, “It’s true, she cares very much about this necklace, no matter how much I beat her, she wouldn’t let go…”

“Beat her?”

Fu Xicheng’s voice was like ice, his aura becoming even colder.

The man realized something was wrong and immediately shut his mouth.

“Give him back a hundredfold.”

Fu Xicheng coldly dropped a sentence, took the necklace, and walked towards the elevator.

He entered the elevator and pressed the floor of the ward where Su Tingwan was staying.

As the elevator doors closed, the man was surrounded by several bodyguards.

They were all skilled fighters, kicking the man relentlessly, one after another.

Following Fu Xicheng’s instructions, they repaid Su Tingwan’s suffering a hundredfold onto the man.

…

Ward

Su Tingwan lay back on the hospital bed, looking at Lu Yunchen sitting beside her.

After hesitating for a moment, she spoke, “Yunchen, could you do me a favor?”

“You don’t need to be so polite with me. Just tell me what you need.”

Lu Yunchen’s voice was gentle.

“Could you help me find the man who robbed me today? He stole a very important necklace from me…”

“Okay.”

Su Tingwan mentioned Xixi’s necklace, her emotions becoming agitated, and she didn’t hear Lu Yunchen speak.

She reached out and grabbed Lu Yunchen’s sleeve, afraid he would find it troublesome.

With red eyes, she spoke urgently, “That necklace is extremely important to me… so…”

“Tingwan, I promise I will help you find the necklace.”

Lu Yunchen held Su Tingwan’s hand, comforting and promising.

Fu Xicheng stood at the ward door, coldly watching Lu Yunchen and Su Tingwan in the ward, his sharp gaze falling on their hands clasped together.

His presence was too strong.

Su Tingwan almost immediately noticed, looking up to see it was Fu Xicheng, her expression darkening.

She practically wrote her rejection and displeasure on her face.

“Fu Xicheng, can’t you understand human language?”

Su Tingwan didn’t expect Fu Xicheng to return, and seeing him step inside, her tone was cold.

Lu Yunchen stood up, again blocking Fu Xicheng.

Between the two men, the atmosphere was tense, on the verge of breaking.

Fu Xicheng stepped over Lu Yunchen, looked at Su Tingwan lying on the hospital bed, his voice indifferent, yet commanding, “Tell him to leave.”

Su Tingwan unceremoniously said, “The one who should leave is you!”

“Is that so?”

Fu Xicheng’s tone was very cold.

He suddenly opened his palm, revealing the necklace in his hand.

Su Tingwan saw it, her pupils violently shook.

“Give me back the necklace!”

She suddenly lunged towards Fu Xicheng to grab it.

Her outstretched hand missed, and she fell into Fu Xicheng’s arms.

Su Tingwan’s movements were too fast, Lu Yunchen couldn’t stop her.

He wanted to pull her back into his arms, but Fu Xicheng was closer to Su Tingwan.

He wrapped his long arm around her waist, pulling her into his arms.

With a turn of his body, he avoided Lu Yunchen’s outstretched hand, carrying Su Tingwan to the other side of the bed, creating distance.

Su Tingwan immediately struggled.

Fu Xicheng didn’t let go, lowering his eyes to meet Su Tingwan’s angry eyes.

His lips curved slightly, speaking in a voice only they could hear, “Don’t want the necklace anymore?”

Su Tingwan’s struggling immediately stopped.

Her eyes were red, and she glared at Fu Xicheng.

Compared to the stranger who beat her, she resented Fu Xicheng even more.

Fu Xicheng ignored her angry gaze, tightening his arms, holding Su Tingwan in his embrace.

He raised his eyes, looking at Lu Yunchen, his gaze challenging.

In front of Lu Yunchen, he lowered his head, his lips close to Su Tingwan’s ear, appearing extremely intimate, whispering, “Tell him to leave.”

Three words, unquestionable.

Fu Xicheng’s meaning was clear: if Lu Yunchen didn’t leave, he wouldn’t return Xixi’s necklace to her.

“Fu Xicheng, you’re so despicable!”

Su Tingwan’s eyes were red with anger, her teeth clenched, but she was helpless.

She wanted to push Fu Xicheng away, but he wouldn’t let go, so Su Tingwan could only turn her head towards Lu Yunchen in his arms.

Her tone apologetic, “Yunchen, you don’t need to help me find the necklace. It’s late, you should go back and rest.”

This was a subtle way of asking him to leave.

Lu Yunchen understood.

He had also seen the necklace in Fu Xicheng’s palm.

That seemingly ordinary necklace should be the one Tingwan had just asked him to help her retrieve.

“Okay, get some rest. Call me if you need anything.”

Lu Yunchen was cooperative and didn’t make Su Tingwan feel embarrassed.

He could see that the necklace was very important to Su Tingwan.

Lu Yunchen left.

As soon as the ward door closed, Su Tingwan’s expression turned cold again.

She coldly looked at Fu Xicheng, her voice devoid of warmth, “The necklace.”

“Lie down.”

Fu Xicheng uttered two words from his thin lips.

Su Tingwan: …

The words she was about to use to scold him were swallowed back the moment she met Fu Xicheng’s gaze.

The necklace was still in his hand.

She could only comply with Fu Xicheng and lie back on the bed.

As soon as she lay down, before she could speak again, Fu Xicheng turned and walked to the ward door, locking it.

Then, he returned to the bedside.

He leaned over and reached out to unbutton Su Tingwan’s nightgown.

His hand hadn’t touched her yet when Su Tingwan grabbed it, her eyes full of apprehension, “What are you doing?”

“What do you think I’m doing?”

Fu Xicheng’s expression darkened, coldly looking at Su Tingwan, who was guarding herself like she was protecting herself from a wolf.

What?

Now he couldn’t even touch her?

“Let go.”

Fu Xicheng ordered in a low voice.

In front of Su Tingwan, he had long been accustomed to taking the lead.

Su Tingwan didn’t listen; she still held his hand tightly, “I’ve already sent Yunchen away, return the necklace immediately, and leave.”

Looking at Su Tingwan, stubborn as a mule, Fu Xicheng worried about her injuries and took a step back, “I just want to check your injuries.”

He didn’t know what was wrong with Su Tingwan.

Ever since he had broken his promise to Xixi at the amusement park, Su Tingwan not only hid Xixi but also changed her attitude towards him.

Could it be that she really fell for Lu Yunchen?

Fu Xicheng directly denied this possibility.

Impossible!

Su Tingwan loved him so much, it was impossible for her to fall for someone else overnight.

Agreeing to the blind date arranged by his grandmother, wanting to be with Lu Yunchen, it must all be to anger him.

“No need.”

Su Tingwan directly refused.

As soon as she finished speaking, Fu Xicheng had lost his patience and acted directly.

He controlled Su Tingwan’s hands and forcefully unbuttoned her nightgown.

“Fu Xicheng!”

Amidst Su Tingwan’s angry shout, her injuries were exposed to Fu Xicheng’s sight.

Fu Xicheng’s pupils violently shook.

The man said that even when he beat her, Su Tingwan wouldn’t let go.

He knew she must have injuries.

But he didn’t expect them to be so severe.

Fu Xicheng looked at her injuries, his expression terrifyingly cold.

“Su Tingwan, are you sick? For such a worthless piece of junk, you’ve made yourself look like this?”

Fueled by anger, Fu Xicheng’s tone was stinging.

The disdain in his eyes when he looked at the necklace deeply hurt Su Tingwan.

In her eyes, that necklace represented Xixi.

Fu Xicheng’s attitude towards the necklace was his attitude towards Xixi.

The only person in this world who had no right to disdain this necklace was Fu Xicheng.

Su Tingwan’s heart ached violently.

Her eyes were red with anger.

Filled with hatred, Su Tingwan suddenly raised her hand and slapped Fu Xicheng hard, “Shut up!”

“Fu Xicheng, you have no right to criticize this necklace; it is priceless to me, give it back to me.”

This man who didn’t love Xixi at all wouldn’t understand how important things related to Xixi were to her.

“Su Tingwan!”

Fu Xicheng was completely enraged!

Su Tingwan ignored Fu Xicheng’s sinister gaze after the slap.

She sat up from the bed and frantically tried to snatch the necklace from Fu Xicheng’s hand, “Give me back the necklace!”

When Fu Xicheng said “worthless piece of junk,” Su Tingwan even felt that Xixi’s necklace being held by Fu Xicheng was an insult to Xixi.

In Fu Xicheng’s eyes, her Xixi had always been insignificant, unimportant.

He didn’t care about the person, let alone a necklace made from a bone.

Su Tingwan’s eyes were even redder, and her emotions became more agitated.

“Give it back!”

Fu Xicheng watched her struggle, pulling and tugging, hurting her wounds.

The pain on his cheek reminded him of how ungrateful Su Tingwan was.

He felt sorry for her injuries, yet she slapped him and went crazy.

Fu Xicheng was used to Su Tingwan’s behavior.

Her cold words and slap were challenging his limits.

Fu Xicheng was completely enraged.

She actually hit him because of a broken necklace.

The moment Su Tingwan frantically tried to pry his hand open to snatch the necklace, he suddenly let go of her hand.

Under Su Tingwan’s resentful gaze, he strode to the window and opened it.

He turned, his gaze cold as he looked at Su Tingwan.

The cold wind blew in, Su Tingwan shivered violently, realizing something, feeling the piercing cold, her pupils widening, “Don’t!”

But Fu Xicheng ignored her pleas, raising his hand and throwing the necklace out the window like trash, without hesitation.

Outside the window was an artificial lake.

Su Tingwan heard her heart break again.

What she had regained was once again thrown away by Fu Xicheng.
