Shattered by Fate, Restored by Truth-Chapter 358: Arguing Civilly and Abiding by the Law

"You’ve upset her again?"

Lu Ci brought a glass of wine over to Fu Shihan, glancing in the direction of Su Wanxin with interest.

"It seems like she’s really fuming."

It was easy to tell when Su Wanxin was angry, unlike Fu Shihan, who could keep cool anytime, anywhere like an old turtle.

Fu Shihan raised his glass to take a sip, thinking to say "I announced our marriage." But he choked the words back at the last moment.

Wan God said to keep his lips sealed; he couldn’t just blabber about it. So he had to come up with an alternative answer on the fly.

"I didn’t provoke her."

Lu Ci raised his eyebrows, clearly not believing him. But he didn’t press the matter, just quietly watching the drama.

Su Wanxin and Fu Shihan had already publicly clashed at the economic forum that afternoon, their tension as palpable as if they were openly quarreling.

But they used professional terminology, a perfect example of a "civilized and lawful quarrel."

The audience enjoyed it, but also felt uneasy because it was the first time someone dared to oppose Fu Shihan, and it seemed like neither side had fallen into a disadvantage.

Now, as these two were gathered together again, everyone couldn’t help but watch them closely, as if they might continue their verbal face-off any moment.

Su Wanxin kept her distance from Fu Shihan, not even wanting their eyes to meet.

Her expression was cold and detached, still seemingly immersed in the confrontations from earlier. Kind-hearted onlookers worried that she had offended Fu Shihan and might face retaliation, so they advised in good faith.

"President Su, you’ll have to see him around, don’t let things get too tense."

"Yes, don’t be too stiff; aren’t you alumni and co-shareholders with President Fu? You must be quite familiar?"

Su Wanxin pursed her lips, cracking a slight smile. "Not familiar."

Her outright denial left others at a loss for how to continue the conversation.

The awkward atmosphere spread, but Su Wanxin didn’t seem to care, taking another sip of her wine before saying: "People like President Fu, venomous and ruthless, aren’t suitable to be friends."

The crowd: ...

My, girl, you really dare to say it! If the situation allowed, they really wanted to give her a thumbs up and exclaim: "Awesome!"

While people surrounded Su Wanxin discussing Fu Shihan, the situation around Fu Shihan himself was similar.

Because he had openly praised Su Wanxin last time as "good-looking and smart," now people kept a sharp eye, waiting for him to compliment Su Wanxin again.

But they waited for quite a while, even as Su Wanxin openly mocked his type as unsuitable for friendship, without him showing any reaction.

Lu Ci watched this duo’s dramatic tactics, smiling thoughtfully. At the right moment, he spoke: "It seems President Su isn’t in a very good mood today."

"Which President Su?" Fu Shihan glanced at Su Wanxin’s side, his expression a mix of smile and non-smile.

"Su Family’s Su Wanxin, aren’t you familiar?"

"Not familiar."

The two exchanged these comments like a comic dialogue act.

Fu Shihan had his own agendas and considerations, especially with Chen Lei issues at hand, preventing him from further upsetting Su Wanxin tonight, so he just played along with the act.

After stating his unfamiliarity with Su Wanxin, he added a spiteful remark.

"People like me always dislike making friends with dishonest businessmen."

After he said this, even Lu Ci was stunned for a moment. When he recovered, he laughed in admiration.

Fu Shihan, are you toxic? Having the nerve to call others dishonest businessmen?
