Free Web NovelChapter 1296: Chapter 1295: Shen Rushuang Pays a Visit
Right now, he could be completely certain that Su Changfeng was an expert, and at this point he could only push all his chips onto Shen Rushuang.
The things Shen Yunlong had done to Su Changfeng before were enough to drag the entire Shen Family into an endless abyss; whenever Shen Yaowen thought of this, he only felt his head spin.
For the Shen Family to have come this far, who knew how much effort and blood had been poured into it; naturally, he was unwilling to see the foundation built up over so many years destroyed in his own hands.
Shen Yunlong’s mood wasn’t much different. He didn’t want to just die like this. He was still hoping he could make amends with Su Changfeng, have Su Changfeng help him improve his strength, so he too silently wished that Su Changfeng would forgive Shen Rushuang, return to their Shen Family, and change the Shen Family’s fate.
But as for how much chance there was of this succeeding, Shen Yunlong didn’t even have the courage to imagine it.
"Father, do you think Rushuang can succeed?" Shen Yunlong asked.
Shen Yaowen didn’t speak; he only let out a sigh. Whether Shen Rushuang could succeed, he wasn’t sure, and he didn’t have the courage to think about it.
Given Su Changfeng’s current status, if even beauty couldn’t sway him, then this matter was probably doomed to fail.
In truth, with Su Changfeng’s strength, what kind of woman couldn’t he have? Shen Rushuang could rank as the number one beauty in Tianshui City, but outside of Tianshui City, it wasn’t as if there weren’t women prettier than her.
Shen Yaowen shook his head, then finally said, "Until the last moment, no one knows what the outcome will be. Our Shen Family really did owe him in the past. Even if he truly isn’t willing to forgive us, we have no right to say anything."
Shen Yunlong’s expression changed at once. Of course he understood what Shen Yaowen meant. If he had left himself some leeway back then, things wouldn’t have developed to this point.
To say he didn’t regret it would be impossible, but things had already come to this. Even if he regretted it to death now, it would be useless!
At this time, Shen Rushuang finally stood outside the small courtyard.
She knew very clearly that Su Changfeng was inside, but for some reason, now that the moment had truly come, she actually felt a bit afraid to knock on the door.
Before, she had always thought Su Changfeng was a complete good-for-nothing who had to obediently listen to her, and the only reason she kept Su Changfeng in the Shen Family was to use him as a shield. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
But now, their positions had completely reversed. She no longer had any capital to be proud, and there was even a faint sense of inferiority, because that man inside whom she had never once taken seriously was someone who could change the Shen Family’s fate and stir up storms in Tianshui City.
"Miss, are you going to knock?" the maid asked Shen Rushuang.
Shen Rushuang blankly shook her head, then said, "I’ll go by myself. You can head back first."
After hearing this, the maid looked at her with a worried face. "Miss, how can that be? What if that good-for-nothing bullies you, what if that good-for-nothing hurts you?"
Good-for-nothing? That was what they had always called Su Changfeng before. Shen Rushuang had never felt there was anything wrong with it, but now, she naturally could no longer use that form of address for Su Changfeng, much less say such words in front of him.
"Remember this—from today on, I don’t want to ever hear those two words from your mouth again." Shen Rushuang rebuked the maid in an icy tone.
The maid was startled, but inwardly she didn’t think much of it. Wasn’t Shen Rushuang the one who used to call him a good-for-nothing all the time? What did this mean now; how could her attitude change so drastically?
Could it be that Miss really had gone muddle-headed and actually fallen for that Su Changfeng?
"Hurry back," Shen Rushuang repeated.
Seeing how insistent Shen Rushuang was, the maid couldn’t say anything more. "Miss, then I’ll go back. You must be very careful."
After the maid left, Shen Rushuang took a deep breath, walked forward, and was just about to knock when the door was actually opened from the inside.
"Who are you?" Qiutang Yu’er looked at Shen Rushuang standing outside and frowned as she asked.
"Who are you?" Shen Rushuang also felt a bit strange. Wasn’t this Su Changfeng’s place? Why was there a woman here?
Qiutang Yu’er sized her up, only to find that the other woman was very beautiful, and compared to herself, she seemed more mature and more attractive to men. A woman like this showing up here was probably someone who knew Su Changfeng, and perhaps their relationship was anything but ordinary.
Thinking of this, Qiutang Yu’er couldn’t help but feel a trace of unease in her heart.
"I’m Su Changfeng’s wife. Who are you?" Qiutang Yu’er said.
Hearing this, Shen Rushuang’s pretty face instantly went pale. She hadn’t wanted to believe it before, but she had never imagined that Su Changfeng had really married another woman!
In that moment, a surge of uncontrollable anger welled up in Shen Rushuang’s heart. What she couldn’t accept the most was that Su Changfeng had only left the Shen Family not long ago, yet he had already turned around and found another woman.
But she quickly calmed down. Shen Rushuang sorrowfully realized that in her current position, she had absolutely no right to meddle in Su Changfeng’s affairs. After all, her marriage with Su Changfeng had always been fake, so even if Su Changfeng sought a new lover, it was perfectly reasonable.
Besides, it was the Shen Family who had driven Su Changfeng out, and the Shen Family who had wronged him first. What grounds did they have to blame Su Changfeng?
Noticing Shen Rushuang’s reaction, Qiutang Yu’er grew all the more certain of her identity, and she couldn’t help feeling a bit smug inside.
From this alone it was obvious she was just an emotionally immature little girl. Although Su Changfeng didn’t like her, making a love rival feel miserable still made Qiutang Yu’er very happy.
"Oh my, what’s wrong with you? Did I say something wrong? If you’re not feeling well, you shouldn’t be wandering around outside. Hurry up and go back," Qiutang Yu’er said.
Shen Rushuang numbly shook her head. She had come here this time precisely because she wanted to ask Su Changfeng some things in person. She hadn’t even seen him yet, so naturally she wouldn’t leave.
"Is Su Changfeng home? I want to see him," Shen Rushuang said.
Qiutang Yu’er smiled and said, "You’re Shen Rushuang, right? Do you really think he’ll be willing to see you?"
"Since you know who I am, you must also understand our relationship. I came to find him this time just to clear up some things," Shen Rushuang said.
Qiutang Yu’er naturally didn’t care what Shen Rushuang wanted to do. In her eyes, Shen Rushuang was a rival in love. And since she was a rival in love, of course Qiutang Yu’er wouldn’t let her see Su Changfeng.
"He won’t see you. You should give up on that. I hope you don’t come here again in the future," Qiutang Yu’er said, and reached out to close the door.
Without time to think, Shen Rushuang had no choice but to reach out and stop her, then said to Qiutang Yu’er, "Tell him I’m here. He’ll definitely be willing to see me. Besides, what right do you have to stop me?"
Qiutang Yu’er looked at her expressionlessly and said in an icy tone, "I have the right because I am Su Changfeng’s wife. Is that enough?" freewёbnoνel.com
Hearing Qiutang Yu’er’s words, Shen Rushuang didn’t know what to say for a moment. Since she was Su Changfeng’s wife, she naturally had every right to keep Shen Rushuang outside the door.
