A slight smile curved Shi Wenwen's lips at this thought.
She had been by Fu Yanting's side for so many years. How long had Yan Xi been married to Fu Yanting? She refused to believe that Fu Yanting would cut off contact with her for Yan Xi.
Fu Yanting couldn't belong to anyone. If he belonged to someone, it could only be her, Shi Wenwen.
With this thought, Shi Wenwen felt even more pleased with herself.
After leaving the hospital, Yan Xi refused Fu Hao's offer and left alone.
Previously, Yan Xi had naively believed that if she could just appease Fu Yanting, she could stay by his side, and Fu Yanting could help her fight against the Yan family.
But now, Yan Xi realized she was wrong, that she had made a terrible mistake.
Watching Yan Xi's retreating figure, Fu Hao glanced at the divorce agreement in his hand, his brow furrowed. Had he gone too far?
Although Yan Xi had refused to cooperate with him before, she was innocent in this marriage.
And now, doing this to her was perhaps too cruel.
Just as Fu Hao was wrestling with his conscience, his phone rang. It was Shi Wenwen.
Fu Hao felt an invisible pressure. He really didn't want to answer Shi Wenwen's call, but he had something in her hands that she could use against him. He didn't dare offend her. Otherwise, if Fu Yanting found out about it, he would be dead.
Fu Hao was silent for a moment before pressing the answer button.
Shi Wenwen spoke indifferently, "Fu Hao, is everything progressing smoothly on your end?"
"It's alright."
"Then hurry up and deliver the divorce agreement to your elder brother. I've already spoken to him, and he believes me. If you give him the divorce agreement, he will definitely sign it."
"I..."
"Fu Hao, don't tell me you've developed a soft spot for Yan Xi. We both know that Yan Xi wouldn't be happy with your elder brother. What we're doing now is also for Yan Xi's own good."
Shi Wenwen paused, then continued, "Don't forget, you still have something in my hands. If I were to reveal that matter to your elder brother, you know what your fate would be."
With that, Shi Wenwen hung up.
Fu Hao found himself in a difficult situation. In the end, he found a reason to convince himself that Shi Wenwen wasn't entirely wrong. Yan Xi being with his elder brother was indeed a mistake.
And now, he was merely expediting the end of that mistake.
With this thought, Fu Hao felt slightly better. His self-consolation had been successful.
Fu Hao drove to Fu Yanting's villa. The moment he entered, he was enveloped by an oppressive aura. Fu Hao was genuinely afraid of Fu Yanting. He just stood at the entrance, not even seeing Fu Yanting yet, and his palms were already sweating.
"My home doesn't lack door gods. Come in."
Fu Yanting had known who it was from the moment Fu Hao entered.
Even without looking at the entrance, he knew who the visitor was.
Fu Hao had no choice but to steel himself and enter.
Upon seeing Fu Yanting, Fu Hao handed him the divorce agreement signed by Yan Xi and said cautiously, "Brother, this is the divorce agreement signed by Sister-in-law. She doesn't want to see you, so she asked me to bring it for you to review and sign, to end your relationship."
To Fu Hao's surprise, the living room fell silent after he spoke. Fu Yanting didn't lose his temper at all.
Nor did he question.
The silence was so profound that Fu Hao thought Fu Yanting had already left the living room. He cautiously raised his eyes and saw Fu Yanting's dark, piercing gaze.
His elder brother's expression was truly terrifying.
Fu Hao's legs trembled.
How could he be so unlucky as to be caught by Shi Wenwen and forced to do this?
Now, Fu Hao was truly worried that Fu Yanting would lose his temper and attack him.
What should he do?
How could he leave here?
Fu Yanting still didn't speak, not even sparing Fu Hao a glance.
Fu Hao thought that he could sneak away.
And so he did.
Fu Hao didn't dare to greet Fu Yanting. He didn't even dare to make a sound as he walked.
But even so, Fu Yanting called out to him.
Fu Hao couldn't describe his feelings as merely awkward; it was more like fear, an unknown fear.
"Where are you going?"
Fu Yanting asked indifferently.
Although Fu Yanting wasn't angry and his tone was calm, this calm Fu Yanting terrified Fu Hao to the point where his legs buckled, and he begged, "Brother, please forgive me this once. I was wrong."
"Oh? Then tell me, where exactly were you wrong?"
Where was he wrong?
He was wrong for not doing things thoroughly enough, allowing Shi Wenwen to catch him.
And thus, giving Shi Wenwen leverage over him.
Forcing him to do these things.
If Shi Wenwen told Fu Yanting what he had done, Fu Hao would be dead.
But now, although he wasn't dead, he was close to losing a limb.
Fu Hao didn't dare to tell Fu Yanting where he was wrong. He simply lowered his head and remained silent.
After all, saying more would only lead to more mistakes. Not speaking might preserve his life.
"Useless."
Fu Yanting let out a disdainful snort.
"I really don't know what that foolish woman sees in you."
"Xin Yi."
Fu Yanting called out coldly.
Fu Hao was even more terrified, as if he had seen a ghost.
Xin Yi was Fu Yanting's hidden guard, a top assassin he kept by his side.
His methods were perhaps even more ruthless than Fu Yanting's.
The moment Fu Yanting called for Xin Yi, Fu Hao realized the gravity of the situation.
Fu Hao truly regretted his actions now. He would be damned no matter what, so he might as well have not listened to Shi Wenwen and let her go complain to Fu Yanting.
In that case, Yan Xi might have been able to plead for him by Fu Yanting's side, and he might have had a sliver of hope.
"I heard you've been with Yan Xi. You even appeared at the hospital together to have an abortion? Hmm?"
He had been with Yan Xi?
He wished he could be with Yan Xi, but Yan Xi didn't agree.
Did his elder brother misunderstand their relationship?
Fu Hao couldn't help but swallow and softly asked, "Brother, who told you that?"
Fu Yanting raised an eyebrow, ignoring Fu Hao's question, and with a devilish smile, asked, "So, it's true? You two want to fly away together, so she wrote the divorce agreement, signed it, and asked you to deliver it to me, is that right?"
Of course not.
He had hinted to Yan Xi many times, but she had always rejected him outright, without any ambiguity. How could she possibly fall for him, be with him, and even choose to divorce Fu Yanting for him?
