Chapter 17 The Result of Arrogance Is Only to Lose More Than Gain

"Siyue, did you really divorce me? Please don't do this, this will really..."

Before she could finish, Fu Siye's cold sneer could be heard.

Nan Shiqing's expression froze. She didn't know what to say after his laugh. What did his laugh mean?

"She didn't come at all," Fu Siye said, his words filled with sarcasm and disdain.

Nan Shiqing's face changed drastically.

"Didn't come?"

She looked as if she couldn't believe it.

No, she genuinely couldn't believe it. Didn't Mu Yinyin say it so decisively yesterday? She didn't seem to be faking at all.

But she didn't go today?

Why say those things yesterday? She played the game of feigning disinterest even more intensely yesterday.

What was Mu Yinyin's situation?

Not hearing Fu Siye's response, Nan Shiqing regained her senses and pretended to be relieved, saying, "That's good, that's good... You and my sister really shouldn't divorce. My sister must be just throwing a tantrum. Siyue, you, you should just coax her."

Nan Shiqing's words were full of attempts to reconcile, but she clearly revealed Mu Yinyin's manipulative and willful nature.

Fu Siye sneered, "I never planned to marry her. You don't need to worry about this. Take care of yourself. I'm going to the company now."

Nan Shiqing's expression changed slightly. Going to the company...

So the divorce couldn't happen today. She was a bit annoyed but could only say, "Yes, yes, as long as you don't divorce my sister, everything is fine. You go ahead, Siyue."

Fu Siye said nothing and hung up directly.

Nan Shiqing's face turned grim. Fu Siye hung up first again. Was it just a coincidence that she hung up first every time before?

She always felt that Siye used to wait for her to hang up, but the last few times were really not right. Was she just being overly sensitive?

She gritted her teeth and put down her phone.

He Xia did not go to the company today. Instead, she sat beside Nan Shiqing, both of them on the sofa.

He Xia frowned, her expression gloomy. "It shouldn't be like this. With Mu Yinyin's attitude yesterday, she shouldn't have not shown up. Could it really be her tactic?"

Nan Shiqing immediately let out a cold laugh. "If this is really just her tactic, I promise she will die a more miserable death than anyone else. But I'm afraid there's another meaning behind her doing this."

He Xia pondered for a moment, frowning again. "Nan Shiqing has changed a lot. She's completely different from her past self. Perhaps the death of her father made her realize something."

Nan Shiqing's brows furrowed tightly. "I have that feeling too. Otherwise, her attitude towards us wouldn't have changed so much. It's disgusting that she's forcing us to sign now, but I want to see how she'll make us look good if we don't sign!"

He Xia sneered, placed her phone on the coffee table, and leaned back in her chair, saying dismissively, "Both times she mentioned the share transfer was in front of Fu Siye. She just wants to embarrass us in front of him. If we were concerned about Fu Siye, we might have returned the shares to her. Don't worry about this."

Nan Shiqing's eyes held a hint of hesitation as she looked at her mother. "But I feel like something is not right. She was too aggressive at the time, and her Ferrari's origin is unclear. Could it be that she has found a new backer?"

He Xia did not answer immediately but seriously considered the question.

After a pause, she said, "For now, don't completely fall out with her. It won't do us any good. While shifting all the blame onto her, we also need to investigate her recent situation and see if she has contacted anyone powerful."

"Yes, I can't distance myself too much from her for now, or it will only make Siyue suspicious of me."

And then, the room seemed to emanate an aura of conspiracy.

...

Meanwhile.

Mu Yinyin was impatiently waiting in the car. She hadn't left yet.

She hadn't gone to work today, intending to get a divorce, but something unexpected happened on the road.

She had to deal with it.

And now.

Mu Yinyin had a bit of a headache.

Fu Siye's tone just now made him think she was playing mind games.

After thinking for a moment, she directly recorded a video for Fu Siye and sent it to his WeChat.

Fu Siye happened to be at a traffic light. He suddenly saw the WeChat message from Mu Yinyin, and his expression was a little stunned.

It seemed like he hadn't sent any messages in the past few days.

This was her first message after proposing divorce.

Fu Siye sneered. It must be her playing some new trick.

He originally wanted to put his phone down, but his hand moved involuntarily, and he clicked on the video.

The video directly showed Mu Yinyin's beautiful face. Her expression was indifferent, without much emotion. Then, her voice reached his ears.

"Fu Siye, watch carefully, I'm at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau right now. Look behind me. I did have something to deal with earlier and didn't intend to stand you up."

She paused and then turned her head back, and Fu Siye naturally saw the scene behind her.

Then, Mu Yinyin's voice reached his ears again, "Did you see clearly? It's the Civil Affairs Bureau. I'm not tricking you. I know you're very busy, but you'll have to divorce me sooner or later. Why not settle it now? We won't hinder each other anymore."

"I believe you don't want to drag this out any longer, otherwise, I'll think you're going back on your word. Fu Siye, I'm afraid you'll fall in love with me."

With this last sentence, Mu Yinyin's voice was filled with strong mockery. The video ended here.

Fu Siye was amused to the point of laughing. Seeing the red light turn green, he put down his phone and drove away. It wasn't until the next intersection that he stopped.

He tapped his phone again because it was vibrating.

It was still a message from Mu Yinyin.

— Mu Yinyin: [Fu Siye, I'm waiting for you here. I believe you're not that short on time.]

— Mu Yinyin: [I've handled everything. This time, nothing will make me run away midway.]

Fu Siye sneered and replied with a voice message.

Mu Yinyin was still waiting in the car. Seeing the voice message, she immediately opened it.

"Mu Yinyin, the result of being self-righteous is losing more than you gain. Don't think that just because I'm busy today, you can truly avoid divorcing me. In my eyes, you are never worthy."

The implication was that he was too busy and wouldn't go to divorce her today.

Mu Yinyin was directly angered. She gritted her teeth.

— Mu Yinyin: [Since you think I'm not worthy, then get over here and divorce me! Do you think you are worthy?]

Fu Siye gritted his molars. For the first time, he felt this woman was incredibly annoying!

He put down his phone and decided not to reply.

After that, no matter how many times Mu Yinyin called him or texted him, he ignored them all.

Mu Yinyin's expression grew grimmer. What a jerk!

Just as she was struggling with what to do, her phone suddenly rang.
