I Want A Lifetime With You

Chapter 313

Fu Heng did not have the patience to continue arguing with Fu Jiaqi. “Jingdong, since she’s now your wife, she’s a part of your Lai family. You should know what to do!”

Fu Heng took a glance at Lai Jingdong and felt that it was such a pity that the situation had boiled down to this.

If Pei Huan had chosen Lai Jingdong then, they would have made a good pair. It was just too bad that he and Huan were not fated to be together.

“Sure!” Lai Jingdong nodded. “I shall not disturb you any further,” said the man said as he grabbed Fu Jiaqi’s hand. “Let’s go back now!”

“No, I’m not leaving! Dad, please listen to me. I’ve always been your daughter. You… Pei Huan has already been away for three years. She has never treated you and Mom as her parents. Even when mom was so sick, she still refused to come back, she… “

“That’s enough! I don’t want to hear you badmouthing Huan again. I’ve already done my utmost for you and this is as far as I would go.” If not for Fu Heng, Fu Jiaqi would not have been able to marry Lai Jingdong with her own abilities. Even though the Lai family was not within the ranks of the most powerful or influential in Jiang City, it was still a family of scholars. Besides, Lai Jingdong was an outstanding young man.

Fu Jiaqi was not willing to leave just like that, but Fu Heng’s stance was firm. He shut the door decisively, cutting off all connections with Fu Jiaqi.

“Let go of me!” Fu Jiaqi flung Lai Jingdong’s hand away and glared angrily at him. “Aren’t you very capable? Why were you not able to convince my dad? Lai Jingdong, you… “

“I can’t be bothered with you!” Lai Jingdong was extremely annoyed with the woman and left by himself. Fu Jiaqi remained on the spot, storming mad. She kept muttering to herself, “Pei Huan? Ha! You guys really think that Pei Huan can come back?”

“What do you mean?”

Suddenly, a voice sounded behind Fu Jiaqi, which almost scared the woman out of her wits.

She took a few steps back and only managed to stop herself from falling by leaning against the wall. With a terrified expression, she looked at Su Shaoqing. “Su… Su… “

Su Shaoqing curled his lips into an innocuous smile. He rubbed his chin and said, “Su? Hi, imposter, you don’t remember my name?”

“Su Shaoqing… “

Fu Jiaqi stuck herself to the wall in fear. She wanted to run but her legs felt like lead and were unable to move even an inch. The woman swallowed the huge lump in her throat and was almost bursting out in tears.

Su Shaoqing let out a disarming smile and said, “Why are you staring at me with such wide eyes? Have I grown so handsome that it surprised you?”

Even though what Su Shaoqing said seemed to be harmless, every word of his sent fear coursing through Fu Jiaqi. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

She had personally witnessed Su Shaoqing’s merciless ways a few years back. When she was imprisoned with another man in the darkroom at that time, she saw Su Shaoqing cutting off the other captive’s manhood with a surgical knife, which was worse to him than death itself.

Ever since then, Fu Jiaqi would try her very best to avoid Su Shaoqing.

How could she have forgotten that they were at the Su family’s hospital! That was clearly Su Shaoqing’s territory.

“Su… Master Su, I have something on, I shall, I… “

“Hush!” Su Shaoqing observed the changes in Fu Jiaqi’s expression with interest before taking his time to speak. “Come to think of it, we haven’t met each other in a long time. Since it’s such a coincidence that we managed to bump into each other, shall we find somewhere to catch up, my old friend?”

“I’m afraid I’ll have to pass. I really have something on… “ Fu Jiaqi retreated a few steps and almost stumbled. Supporting herself on a chair by the wall, the woman took a deep breath and reiterated, “Master Su, I have something on… “

“Master Su” was how Fu Jiaqi addressed the man during the days when she was always around Fu Chengyan and before her identity was exposed.

However, after her true identity was revealed and the things she did to hurt Pei Huan became known, Su Shaoqing no longer treated the woman in the same friendly manner. As such, she no longer dared to address Su Shaoqing that way.

Su Shaoqing might appear to be the most easy-going one among Jiang City’s so-called “Big Four”, but he was also the most ruthless among them. Even Pei Jingxiu was not his match.

“What could be more important than us catching up?” Su Shaoqing flashed a warm smile as he removed his white coat. Smoothing out the creases of his shirt, he said, “Why don’t we go back to our old haunt? So that we can have a conducive environment to talk about what you said just now!”

“I… I didn’t say anything!” Fu Jiaqi was already utterly terrified and trembling in fear. That “old haunt” Su Shaoqing referred to was the woman’s worst nightmare in her entire life. She would never, ever want to go back to that place again.

Fu Jiaqi took another two steps back and said, “No! You can’t do this to me, Su Shaoqing. I’m Lai Jingdong’s wife; you can’t treat me like this!”

“Wife?” Su Shaoqing loosened his necktie and smiled innocently. “I think Lai Jingdong would thank me instead. With a wife like you, it’s nothing but trouble for him!” The man’s face darkened as he continued, “Do you know how precious my time is? People are queuing up to meet me but you’re refusing my personal invite?”

“Su Shaoqing, don’t you dare! I’m Fu Chengyan’s sister, I… “

“Well, try me and see if I dare then. You can also see whose side Chengyan is on!” Su Shaoqing did not want to continue this conversation with Fu Jiaqi any further. He took one huge stride forward and delivered a blow to the back of the woman’s head. It was so quick that Fu Jiaqi had no chance to dodge before collapsing on the ground.

Su Shaoqing looked at the woman’s motionless body and kicked her arm while letting out a light snort.

“Hey, Li Heng, I have a present for you. Oh yeah, ask Chengyan to come along!” Su Shaoqing hung up immediately after he finished speaking. He then frowned at Fu Jiaqi for a while. In the end, Su Shaoqing still decided to carry her, albeit very unwillingly.

Ugh, how unlucky can I get! I have to remember to disinfect myself thoroughly later!

By the time Fu Jiaqi regained consciousness, she found herself shivering in the cold. It was a kind of frigidity that felt familiar to her. Isn’t this just like four years back…

Fu Jiaqi suddenly widened her eyes in shock, especially when she recognized that icy environment. She started trembling from the low temperature as well as her own fear.

“Let me out!”

Only then did Fu Jiaqi realize that her arms and legs were shackled; she had been locked up.

“Su Shaoqing, how dare you do this to me! It’s a criminal offense. The Lai family will not let you off for this. My brother won’t let you off, either!”

Fu Jiaqi screamed her lungs out in the darkroom for half an hour but received no response.

Meanwhile, inside a private room at Prosperous Dynasty, four men were in the middle of a card game. Su Shaoqing was taking his time to arrange his cards while the other three stared at him. “Shaoqing, you’d better have something important to tell us,” Fu Chengyan said, “I hope I didn’t leave work just to play cards with you!”

Su Shaoqing cocked his brows and chuckled. “Don’t worry, for me to gather you busy people here, I definitely have some good news to share. But Jingxiu… are you very free these days?” Su Shaoqing did not remember inviting Pei Jingxiu and was surprised that he showed up as well.

When Pei Jingxiu heard that, he shot a glance at Su Shaoqing while fiddling the corner of a card with his fingers. “You mean, you wanted to meet Chengyan and Heng but not me?”

Su Shaoqing was at a loss for words.

“Just say it. What is it?” Li Heng was also growing impatient, which was a rather rare occurrence for the man. “You told me over the phone just now that you have a present for me? What’s the present?”

“Tsk tsk, why can’t you have a little more patience?” Su Shaoqing tossed his cards on the table and stood up. “Do you guys still remember Fu Jiaqi?”

Li Heng and Fu Chengyan looked up at Su Shaoqing when they heard the woman’s name.

Li Heng was sensitive towards Fu Jiaqi’s name because he had bumped into her earlier today. Fu Chengyan, on the other hand, would pay attention to that name because he had assumed the role of

that woman’s elder brother for over two decades. Fu Chengyan’s gaze darkened almost instantly as he asked, “Why do you suddenly mention her?”

“I found out something interesting. We might be able to find Pei Huan soon!”

“You mean…” When Li Heng heard “Pei Huan”, his spirits immediately lifted. “She knows where Huan is?”

“Well, I’m not too sure about that.” Su Shaoqing shook his head.

“Then why… “

“Fu Jiaqi went to visit your in-laws today and was chased out by your father-in-law!” Su Shaoqing touched his chin as he observed that Li Heng’s expression did not change much. “Are you not curious at all?”

“I already saw her at the hospital. C’mon, what’s the point you’re trying to make?” Li Heng was increasingly impatient.

“Okay, fine! The main point is, she was chased out by Fu Heng and I think it was very upsetting for her. Moreover, Lai Jingdong had a huge argument with her after that, and I caught her mumbling to herself.”

“Mumbling to herself? Is it related to Huan?”

Su Shaoqing nodded and replied, “You guys really think that Pei Huan can come back?” Su Shaoqing repeated the exact sentence Fu Jiaqi had said and looked at Li Heng. “Don’t you think there’s something very wrong with that sentence?”

Li Heng frowned and Su Shaoqing carried on speaking, “Even if she did not know where exactly Pei Huan is, at least we can be sure that she knows who’s the mastermind behind that incident. As for why

Pei Huan left… Li Heng, I’ve locked that woman in there. You can ask her yourself!”

Li Heng narrowed his eyes and looked at Fu Chengyan. Fu Chengyan simply shrugged and said, “My sister is Huan. Besides, like mother, like daughter. After all, Fu Jiaqi is Lin Yunjia’s daughter. If Lin Yunjia could be so cruel as to harm your child previously, I’m sure Fu Jiaqi wouldn’t be any better… Just do whatever you want!”

Li Heng nodded and threw his cards on the table as he stood up. “I’m going to take a look now!”

Su Shaoqing watched Li Heng leave and started spinning a card on his fingers. “Why do I feel like Li Heng is out to kill?”

Fu Chengyan smirked, “As long as he doesn’t literally kill her!” He stood up right after he finished speaking and said, “I still have something to attend to, so I’ll make a move first.”

“Hey, Chengyan, aren’t you going to stay and watch the show? After all, she’s once a member of your Fu family. Don’t you… “ Su Shaoqing stopped mid-sentence as he noticed Fu Chengyan’s cold gaze. After that, Fu Chengyan turned to Pei Jingxiu and spoke casually, “Don’t let Li Heng take her life. At the end of the day, she’s still Mrs. Lai. Let’s show some respect to Lai Jingdong.”

Pei Jingxiu nodded in agreement. “Yup! We have to let her live; otherwise, given her current status, it’ll be troublesome if she suddenly goes missing.” Pei Jingxiu rose from his seat as well and said, “Shaoqing, let’s go have a look, too!”

“Right away!” Su Shaoqing stood up and followed Pei Jingxiu to that place.

Li Heng stomped into the underground darkroom, giving off a deadly vibe as he made his way there. When Jiang Hu saw the man, he scurried over at once and greeted, “Mr. Li!”

Li Heng nodded and asked, “Where’s she?”

“She’s here, right inside!” Jiang Hu answered as he led Li Heng toward Fu Jiaqi. Even though Jiang Hu was a well-built man, he was actually rather daft. Li Heng’s appearance had piqued Jiang Hu’s curiosity as, after all, the former had not set foot here since that incident three years back.

When they reached the outside of the room, Jiang Hu said, “Mr. Li, she’s inside.”
