The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses

Chapter 1478: Great to Have You (38)

Upon seeing him again, she still found him charming, despite having gotten used to seeing him in a suit.

He appeared to be several years younger than his actual age while still exuding a mature charm. She could not resist how alluring he was.

However, he was glaring at her with a sullen expression on his face, clearly displeased.

"Why are you staring at me like this? Are you trying to devour me? You can go ahead and question me. I'd like to hear your answers too," she said.

"Who are you to question me and hear my answers? Are you in any place to do that? We're already divorced and I've given you a reasonable amount of compensation as well. Don't test my patience and stop pestering me. After all, we've never gotten intimate nor had children together. You'd better know your limits."

"You're mistaken. Since when did I pester you? I'm just curious about the reason you divorced me. Just because you refuse to tell me, it doesn't mean that I won't try to find out using other methods. However, I never expected that Mu Wansheng would still be alive. She had even given birth to your daughter. She's the reason you divorced me. Her face is already so terrifyingly hideous and yet you actually still want her."

Staring at her, Fan Shixin said, "I've always loved her for who she is. Her appearance doesn't matter at all. I understand why you were curious, but now that you know the truth, you don't have to show up in front of us again."

"I don't need you to warn me. I'm not in the mood to see you two every day either."

"Good."

Noticing that he was about to leave, she quickly yelled, "Fan Shixin, can I ask you a question?"

He turned around to look at her and asked, "What is it?"

"If she had died during the accident, would you still have divorced me?"

"Is there still a point in asking that now?" Fan Shixin asked.

"Yes, to me. I want to know."

"Probably not, but I'd still have never loved you for the rest of my life."

His words were like daggers piercing through Yang Qianxue's heart. It turned out he had never planned to love her even after they got married.

Did he only marry me just to conform to societal norms and make his parents happy?

Yang Qianxue took a deep breath, fuming with anger. She had chosen to marry him because she had fallen for him as a person.

I'm not getting any younger. I'm already in my thirties and I would be at high risk if I were to get pregnant now. Besides, I'm now jobless and divorced.

Yang Qianxue felt like she was stuck in a rut.

Her ideal life had been disrupted because of Mu Wansheng's comeback.

If it weren't because of her, my life wouldn't have ended up like this!

Yang Qianxue would get riled up at the thought of Mu Wansheng.

Yet she could not vent her anger and could only keep it to herself.

After living a peaceful and quiet life with her parents, Fan Mianmian had completely acknowledged Fan Shixin as her father.

News of Mu Wansheng still being alive were broadcast on television just as Fan Shixin was about to leave Fan Mianmian with his parents and take Mu Wansheng abroad for medical treatment.

To make matters worse, they were not just rumors, for there were photographs of Mu Wansheng strolling in the park with a veil on her face together with Fan Shixin and Fan Mianmian.

Although Mu Wansheng was not a famous person, it was not her first time making it onto the news.

She had made it onto the headlines four years ago because of her fatal accident, which had caused an uproar amongst citizens. Although several years had past and everyone had forgotten about the accident, the piece of news still managed to garner some attention now that everyone was reminded of Mu Wansheng again.

After looking at the photos, the Mu family immediately called Fan Shixin to verify if the media was reporting the truth.

Fan Shixin sought the approval of Mu Wansheng before informing the Mu family that the news reports were real.

The Mu family was flabbergasted.

They requested Fan Shixin to bring Mu Wansheng home to them. However, Fan Shixin refused and told them that Mu Wansheng did not wish to see them.

The elderly Mr. Mu flew into a rage and sent his sons to find out more about the situation. Mu Qixing then took the initiative and requested to meet Mu Wansheng, after which Mr. Mu agreed.

Mu Qixing was filled with excitement after finding out that Mu Wansheng was alive. She was initially astounded the moment she saw the news and became agitated after hearing the truth.

She headed to Wei Ni Estate alone. To her surprise, Wu Pingyang had tagged along and arrived at the same time as she did.

"Why are you here?"

"Why can't I be here? Grandpa gave me permission to come here too. I'm really curious as to what Mu Wansheng looks like now. I'm really looking forward to it."

Mu Qixing gave her the side-eye and gibed, "I personally think there's no need for you to see her, so you should just stay here and wait."

"I told you, Grandpa gave me permission to come. You're in no place to stop me," said Wu Pingyang, who entered the corridor as soon as she finished speaking.

Mu Qixing hurriedly caught up with her. Once they entered the elevator, Mu Qixing warned, "You'd better not make any snide remarks in front of Cousin. If not, don't blame me for telling on you to Grandpa."

Wu Pingyang shrugged her shoulders and said nonchalantly, "Well, it's a blessing that she's still alive so why would I make any snide remarks? Don't assume that everyone is as petty and scheming as you are."

After exiting the elevator, Mu Qixing pressed the doorbell.

Fan Shixin asked, "Who's there?"

"I'm Mu Qixing, Mu Wansheng's cousin."

Fan Shixin switched on the surveillance camera display only to discover that Wu Pingyang was there too.

After seeking the opinion of Mu Wansheng, he opened the door and allowed them to enter.

Mu Wansheng covered her face with the veil, leaving only her eyes exposed. She was in the midst of having her meal at the dining table while Fan Mianmian was at the Fan family home.

The two cousins stared at Mu Wansheng as soon as they stepped foot into the apartment.

Mu Qixing said, "Cousin, I'm really surprised that you're still alive. It's wonderful that you're alright."

"Did Grandpa send you guys?"

"Yes, Grandpa initially wanted to send Uncle and Second Uncle but I offered to take their place. Pingyang tagged along. I ran into her downstairs," Mu Qixing explained.

"Why did he send you? Is there something he wants to tell me?" Mu Wansheng asked, hanging her head low. Hence, neither Mu Qixing nor Wu Pingyang found anything unusual about her.

"Grandpa said that you're still a member of the Mu family at the end of the day. We were all thrilled to know that you're still alive. They want you to go home and see them."

Mu Wansheng declined coldly, "Nah, I don't have the time now. Maybe next time."

Wu Pingyang asked, "Cousin, why are you wearing a veil when you're eating? Where did you pick that habit up from? Doesn't it get in the way?"

"I only put it on because you guys are here. I suffered some burns on my face because of the accident," said Mu Wansheng.

Wu Pingyang felt much less envious and disgruntled about the fact that Mu Wansheng was still alive. She stood up immediately and walked toward Mu Wansheng. "Let me see what your face has become."
