Shen Qingqing watched her with a cold gaze.
Lin Minglan felt that she was angry and embarrassed, but pretended to be calm, so her words became even more excessive, "He won't be back, you should give up on that."
There were no cameras filming at this time, and she spoke without any reservations.
Shen Qingqing put one hand behind her back and said faintly, "Then you are here too, has he returned?"
Lin Minglan felt as if an arrow had pierced her heart, "Although he hasn't returned, but only I know that he has left, doesn't that explain something?"
Shen Qingqing let out a light laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" she asked, not understanding.
"I'm laughing at you," Shen Qingqing's eyes held a hint of coldness and sarcasm, "Even if you know, he still left, didn't he? Whether you know or not, it doesn't matter."
Lin Minglan, full of pride, was exposed by her words, "I think you're just trying to stay calm!"
"At least I got a response, while you are entirely deluded," Shen Qingqing was in a bad mood and didn't hold back, "If I were you, I would have been ashamed and hit the wall long ago, how could I still stand here so shamelessly."
Lin Minglan's face turned pale and then flushed.
She hated it, but she couldn't refute it, because what the other person said was true, Fu Jingshu had never given her a good look, nor had he ever given her any hope.
"Last night, you saw it all, didn't you?"
Shen Qingqing's face grew colder, "So what? In the end, he still left alone."
They were both equally bad, neither had the right to mock the other!
Lin Minglan gritted her teeth, "Keep pretending to be tough, no matter how good he is to you, in his heart, you can never compare to that woman!"
Lu Wanying.
This name reappeared in Shen Qingqing's mind, filling her with a strong sense of crisis.
Unlike Lin Minglan, she knew very well that this woman was no threat; Fu Jingshu didn't even look at her. The previous embrace, the secret conversations, were all just little tricks played by Lin Minglan.
She was angry, but not really going to fall out with Fu Jingshu over this. But the name Lu Wanying...
Shen Qingqing had a premonition that this name would bring an unprecedented crisis to them both. She took a deep breath, glanced at Lin Minglan, and turned to leave.
The shouting from Lin Minglan behind her was all left behind.
Only no one saw the smile disappear from Shen Qingqing's face, as she silently repeated the name Fu Jingshu in her heart.
There was no lingering affection, only annoyance and impatience.
Lin Minglan was so angry she stamped her foot. Just as she saw the village chief come out, she angrily rebuked him, "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a beauty before?"
The village chief was stunned and looked at her with strange eyes.
Indeed, he hadn't seen one, but he had never seen someone so narcissistic.
His gaze was too obvious, and Lin Minglan couldn't pretend not to see it. She glared at him fiercely before turning and striding away.
She didn't look in the direction she was going, walking aimlessly in her anger.
Naturally, she didn't notice the path ahead, stepped on something, her foot slipped, and she tumbled uncontrollably.
She thought she was going to fall and get bruised, but unexpectedly, she landed in something soft.
She raised her head, breathing in fresh air suddenly accompanied by a foul smell. She realized something and stiffly looked down at the ground.
She had actually fallen into a pile of cow dung!
Not only was her face smeared with cow dung, but her clothes were also covered in it. A foul odor surrounded her, making her like a walking toxic gas bomb.
Some villagers who saw this scene couldn't help but laugh, but out of consideration for her dignity, they held back. As a result, they all had contorted faces and grim expressions.
It was simply too difficult to hold back their laughter.
Lin Minglan, in her embarrassment and anger, roared, "Stop laughing! Get away from here, all of you!"
The villagers dared not provoke her and ran off one by one.
Covered in cow dung and smelling awful, she felt wronged and miserable. She hatefully wiped away the cow dung from her face, feeling so disgusted that she started to retch.
She had wanted to go to the village chief's house to change clothes, but thinking of the mocking glances of the villagers just now, she couldn't go back.
Especially if Shen Qingqing saw her, she would surely make fun of her!
She went to the river, managed to wash off the cow dung from her face, and roughly cleaned her clothes. Then, covering her face, she ran away.
She never wanted to return to the village again!
At this moment, Shen Qingqing slowly came to the riverbank. Her heart was filled with mixed emotions, and she finally took out her phone and called Fu Jingshu.
The phone rang for a long time before it was finally answered.
Fu Jingshu's voice sounded somewhat strained, "What is it?"
Shen Qingqing's grip on the phone tightened. He seemed a little impatient... Before she could speak, she suddenly heard the sound of the phone hanging up.
She stared blankly at the phone screen.
Before it hung up, she heard a woman's cry.
She stood by the river for a very long time, until it was almost dark, before turning back. The children saw her preoccupied look and were a little worried.
Chenchen hesitated to speak, while Shen Jinxi, as usual, was direct, "Mommy, are you unhappy?"
Shen Qingqing shook her head.
Shen Jinxi's eyes darted around, "Mommy, where is Daddy? He said this morning that he would help us with our homework, but why didn't he come?"
"He left."
"Left?" Shen Jinxi's eyes widened, "Why didn't he take us with him?"
Shen Qingqing was speechless for a moment. She couldn't tell the children that he went back for a woman, and that she still didn't know who this woman was or what she looked like.
She felt a surge of powerlessness within her, and hugged Shen Jinxi, "He had something to deal with, so he went back first."
Shen Jinxi didn't believe her, "But why didn't he tell us?"
Shen Qingqing didn't know what to say, so she changed the subject, "Don't worry about grown-up matters, children. Mommy knows what she's doing."
Shen Jinxi pouted.
Mommy always said that, but he wasn't a child anymore. Although his body was still small, his IQ was higher than that of his cheap daddy.
At least he didn't always make Mommy angry.
Over there, Chenchen was a bit worried, afraid that Mommy would argue with Daddy again, "Mommy..."
Shen Qingqing was unaware of her child's concern. She held his small hand and said gently, "You two be good. Mommy will be going out tomorrow."
"Are you going to find Daddy?" Chenchen asked.
Shen Qingqing neither confirmed nor denied it, but instead coaxed the two children to read. Occasionally, Shen Jinxi would notice that his mother was distracted.
He was sensible and didn't ask further.
Later, Shen Qingqing handed over the matters here to Fang Hui. She took the children back to the city, and then took a plane back to her home country.
In the early morning, she left early and arrived at the Fu family's residence.
A servant opened the door, wearing an apron. She recognized Shen Qingqing and smiled, "Miss Shen, you haven't been here for a long time."
"Yes, is Fu Jingshu here?"
The servant quickly brought her in, "The master isn't home. Why don't you call him? Or wait a moment, he'll be back soon."
As soon as they entered, Shen Qingqing saw a girl sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Hearing the sound, she slowly turned her head, revealing a delicate face.
