Zhang Ma had worked for the Fu family for many years and held considerable authority in front of Fu Yan Ting.
Seeing Zhang Ma rush up, Shi Wen Wen breathed a sigh of relief.
With Zhang Ma here, she could remain unaffected and let Zhang Ma preside over fairness.
Zhang Ma saw the fruit knife in Yan Xi's hand, Fu Yan Ting strangling Yan Xi's neck, and fresh marks on Fu Yan Ting's neck.
Without asking, Zhang Ma could already piece together what had just happened.
Zhang Ma separated Fu Yan Ting and Yan Xi, looking at Yan Xi, she couldn't help but scold, "Yan Xi, how can you be so heartless? Our master is so..."
"Zhang Ma."
Fu Yan Ting did not want Zhang Ma to reveal his feelings to Yan Xi. He hadn't said anything before because he wanted to test Yan Xi and confirm her feelings, whether she loved him.
But after today, Fu Yan Ting knew the answer and there was no need to say it.
Zhang Ma received the signal from Fu Yan Ting's eyes and wisely shut her mouth.
Yes, someone like Yan Xi was not worthy of Fu Yan Ting's love.
She couldn't say it, couldn't let Yan Xi feel superior.
Faced with Shi Wen Wen's provocation, Fu Yan Ting's injury, and Zhang Ma's scolding.
Yan Xi only felt heartbroken.
She was human.
She was an ordinary person.
She had poured all her energy into silently protecting Fu Yan Ting, only to end up like this.
"Fu Yan Ting, if there were a chance to start over, I would rather have never met you."
Loving Fu Yan Ting was truly too exhausting.
Yan Xi regretted it.
She regretted falling in love with this man.
Fu Yan Ting's lips were tightly closed, offering no reply.
Seeing how strained Fu Yan Ting and Yan Xi's relationship had become, Shi Wen Wen couldn't be happier.
She had said five years ago that Fu Yan Ting would eventually belong to her.
So, for the past five years, even though Fu Yan Ting had suppressed the Shi family and their business had declined, Shi Wen Wen, disregarding her family's objections, had been waiting silently for Fu Yan Ting to return.
See, her sincere devotion had moved heaven.
Fu Yan Ting was finally turning back.
This time, Shi Wen Wen was determined to hold onto Fu Yan Ting tightly and would not let any other woman get a chance.
Xin Yi looked at Yan Xi thoughtfully, then went to call the family doctor. Soon, Fu Yan Ting's family doctor arrived and bandaged his wounds. The doctor sighed and said, "Mr. Fu's wound is not deep, but it is a vital area. If it gets infected, it could be life-threatening."
Everyone gasped, only Fu Yan Ting stood there indifferently.
He was already accustomed to facing life and death.
If he could die by Yan Xi's hand, it would be acceptable.
Fu Yan Ting's eyes held a look of calm.
After the family doctor left, Fu Yan Ting was taken to the hospital by Xin Yi to have his wounds treated.
Yan Xi stood there, not following.
Shi Wen Wen glanced at Yan Xi and said softly, "Miss Yan, you are truly heartless. You and Yan Ting, although you can no longer be husband and wife, you knew each other once. Why can't you let him go?"
After Shi Wen Wen left, Yan Xi looked at Zhang Ma and explained, "Zhang Ma, if I told you I never did anything to hurt Fu Yan Ting, would you believe me?"
Zhang Ma glanced at Yan Xi. She wanted to believe her, but how could she explain Fu Yan Ting's repeated injuries and hospital visits?
Although Zhang Ma said nothing, Yan Xi knew clearly that Zhang Ma also blamed her.
Yan Xi suddenly laughed, a desolate laugh.
Yan Xi knew it was time for her to leave.
When Fu Yan Ting returned from the hospital, Yan Xi planned to have a good talk with him. As long as Fu Yan Ting returned her son and no longer fought for custody, Yan Xi would decide to leave.
Yan Xi waited for Fu Yan Ting to return at the Fu residence, waiting for half a month.
During these half months, Zhang Ma's attitude towards Yan Xi was also poor. Yan Xi was isolated and helpless here.
Before, even if Zhang Ma disliked Yan Xi and had opinions about her, she wouldn't openly show her displeasure as long as Fu Yan Ting was home.
But now, with Fu Yan Ting away, Zhang Ma's attitude towards Yan Xi was so unpleasant.
Yan Xi gave a bitter smile. As expected, without Fu Yan Ting as her backing, she was nothing in the Fu family.
Half a month later, Shi Wen Wen returned to Fu Yan Ting's villa. Seeing Yan Xi, Shi Wen Wen couldn't control her emotions. She stepped forward and raised her hand to slap Yan Xi, but Yan Xi stopped her as soon as she raised her hand.
Yan Xi sneered and said, "What? Do you want to hit me?"
"Yan Xi, I truly didn't expect you to be so shameless. If I were you, I wouldn't have the nerve to stay here. I would have packed up and left long ago. What are you still doing here? Are you waiting for Fu Yan Ting to come back and marry you?"
"What happens between Fu Yan Ting and me is none of your business."
Yan Xi still had unresolved issues with Fu Yan Ting and couldn't leave just like that. Even if she left, Yan Xi would settle everything.
Now that Fu Yan Ting wasn't home, Yan Xi naturally wouldn't leave.
"Yan Xi, give up on that idea. Fu Yan Ting will never see you again. If you have any self-awareness, leave voluntarily. It's better for everyone. Don't wait for us to kick you out; it won't be good for anyone to fall out completely."
"You are not Fu Yan Ting. Why should I believe what you say? You cannot make decisions for Fu Yan Ting. I said I will meet with Fu Yan Ting and resolve the issues that need to be resolved, and then I will leave on my own."
Yan Xi finished speaking, paused, and then added, "Shi Wen Wen, why are you so nervous? Are you afraid Fu Yan Ting will fall in love with me again?"
What Yan Xi said was the truth. Shi Wen Wen did have such concerns.
But hearing these words spoken so bluntly by Yan Xi made Shi Wen Wen lose face.
Shi Wen Wen's expression turned extremely unpleasant.
To make Yan Xi give up on Fu Yan Ting and stop pestering him.
Shi Wen Wen decided to lie to Yan Xi.
She looked at Yan Xi with a cold smile and said word by word, "Yan Xi, are you dreaming? Fu Yan Ting didn't love you five years ago. After you did so many hurtful things to him, how could he possibly love you now."
Zhang Ma knew Fu Yan Ting's feelings.
But thinking of the hurtful things Yan Xi had done to Fu Yan Ting in the past.
Zhang Ma didn't want to explain much to Yan Xi, letting Shi Wen Wen spout nonsense here and letting Yan Xi misunderstand.
"Yan Xi, are you heartbroken now? Can you leave?"
Shi Wen Wen dared not let Yan Xi stay any longer, fearing Fu Yan Ting might soften his heart and not allow Yan Xi to leave.
Yan Xi frowned. Yan Zi Tong was still in Fu Yan Ting's hands. How could Yan Xi leave so easily?
She could leave, but only if he returned her child and agreed never to fight for custody again. Otherwise, Yan Xi would fight him to the bitter end.
