Chapter 256 250: I'm Not Angry
Fuzi pursed her lips and remained silent.
"He must think I'm really angry right now, so he'll want to make it up to me," Catherine said, unconcerned by Fuzi's silence, "But I don't need his compensation; I don't care about him at all, and he'll feel very disappointed. A girl can't let a boy know that she likes him too much, it makes him arrogant. It's also time to create a sense of crisis for him."
Fuzi finally spoke softly, "Yes, Mistress, you're absolutely right. Keeping a man is like keeping a dog; if you get too close, they get presumptuous, and you can't be too nice to them."
"Yes, so this is a good leverage," Catherine said. "Do you think I'm very angry right now?"
Fuzi hesitated, afraid to speak.
She wanted to say no, but she couldn't lie to her mistress.
"He's always been like that, hasn't he?" Catherine smiled, eyes narrowing, "We've known from the start he was no good."
Fuzi nodded, "Yes, if we only consider the years before Yin Caiyu's awakening, one could even describe him as a rogue and a hooligan, a frequent visitor at the police station from a young age, clearly showing his true nature."
"So, since I knew his nature from the start, why would I be angry?" Catherine continued.
Fuzi fell silent again.
Catherine added, "What's more, it's not the first time; during his relationship with Yin Huailian, who knows how many times they did it. He's certainly not any model of chastity."
Fuzi nodded, simply agreeing, "Yes, he was basically a scoundrel, who knows how many other women he might have been with apart from Yin Huailian."
However, what she wanted to object but didn't was, Yin Huailian had been known to her before, and she had died, but Xia Qingrou was a living successor.
"It also shows, he had no feelings for Xia Qingrou…" Catherine seemed not to have heard Fuzi say anything, merely speaking her own thoughts, "I can guess why he slept with Xia Qingrou. It's merely annoyance from being hassled, or perhaps trying to make her feel secure."
Fuzi licked her lips.
"I'm not some antique, and besides, we're not in any relationship now, so who he sleeps with is none of my business, and I have no reason to be angry," Catherine glanced at Fuzi, "So I'm not angry, and I hope you don't misunderstand. When Shen Mochen kissed you a couple of days ago, was I angry?"
"Yes, Mistress said she wasn't angry, so she isn't angry. From my perspective, a scum like Shen Mochen truly isn't worth your anger."
Fuzi gripped the steering wheel.
If you weren't angry, why bother telling me all this?
Just like usual, not explaining anything to anyone unprompted.
You still care, don't you? Fuzi thought. No one asked, yet like a stubborn child, you issued a lengthy declaration. The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
I actually envy this bastard; it must be good to be a guy... But, if I were a guy, I wouldn't be able to stay by Mistress's side.
Fuzi sighed softly in her heart, feeling melancholic.
She also felt very annoyed when she thought about Shen Mochen. This guy had deceived her, stolen her first kiss, yet hadn't given her the proper repercussion.
Initially, Shen Mochen and she had agreed that once Catherine knew about their situation, she would definitely punish her severely, so Fuzi allowed him to kiss her.
But when she returned home, even though Catherine knew about it, she showed no reaction.
For Fuzi, punishment was a reward, so Catherine didn't hesitate to punish her regularly, but this time she didn't.
And in the following two days, Catherine hadn't done anything to her either. For Fuzi, this was the actual punishment.
Fuzi had truly angered her master, starting to realize she had underestimated Shen Mochen's significance in her master's heart. She could only curse Shen Mochen, the shameless villain for deceiving her. Next time he was in danger, she wouldn't save him; let the monsters devour him!
…
Shen Mochen and Xia Qingrou returned to the hospital. Xia Qingrou glanced at the lilies in the hospital room, freshly delivered by Catherine.
Not wanting to disturb Shen Mochen during his private time with his sister, Xia Qingrou quickly left the room.
"Excuse me, does that foreign girl often bring flowers?" Xia Qingrou quietly asked the nurse.
The nurse sized up Xia Qingrou, deducing she was another caught in a whirl of emotions.
Still, wasn't it said that handsome guys preferred ordinary girls? Why did this guy have two gorgeous ex-girlfriends? Couldn't ordinary girls get a chance anymore!
"Not really, she just comes occasionally on weekends. Usually, she sends someone else…" the nurse lowered her voice, "That foreign girl's family seems quite wealthy. The flowers she sends are expensive, and she changes them daily, disposing of the old ones."
"I see… Thank you," Xia Qingrou nodded.
So, Catherine must still have Shen Mochen in her heart if she's sending flowers every day to his sister, right?
But why did she say that just now? Was it just because she wanted to cut off Shen Mochen's thoughts, since they couldn't be together, to help him forget her sooner?
Or was she jealous? Xia Qingrou suddenly thought.
Because she was jealous, she was upset and had said those hurtful words.
Was it because of herself that she had felt jealous?
If she had known this would happen, maybe she shouldn't have come with him today. She should have just stayed home and played on her phone... If so, perhaps those two would be happily chatting together now.
Xia Qingrou felt a wave of guilt; it was as if she were the third party breaking up a relationship.
But then, why was there a small sense of relief… Xia Qingrou touched her chest, feeling her heart beating.
No, no, no, what was there to be relieved about? She had ruined their potential marriage!
Ah, no that's not right; even without her, the two of them couldn't be together.
Right, why blame me! I'm clearly his girlfriend! It was the first time for both of us! Even if I didn't like him, wasn't our relationship the most special? More intimate than with Catherine.
Xia Qingrou warred with herself, suddenly recalling the beautiful cross on Shen Mochen's chest. She told herself it was better to let them cut ties completely. It was impossible anyway, and lingering feelings would only cause more pain.
She touched her pocket, feeling a bit dry-mouthed, and licked her lips.
Think of it as a thank you gift; it wasn't wrong to comfort him at this time, Xia Qingrou thought to herself.
Though she and Shen Mochen had essentially broken up, they were still officially together, having been boyfriend and girlfriend… Being too heartless wasn't right.
After all, business might fail, but sincerity mattered. An ex-boyfriend could still be cared for!
Xia Qingrou made up her mind and gently pushed open the hospital room door.
"Shen Mochen, tonight…"
However, as she stepped into the hospital room, she witnessed a shocking scene. Her voice abruptly stopped, and she froze in place.
