Shattered by Fate, Restored by Truth-Chapter 347: Why Did Grandpa Suddenly Threaten You with Me?

He always does this, able to spot her flaws between the lines. Su Wanxin, seeing his all-knowing expression, hurriedly tries to defend herself, but it’s useless.

Fu Shihan finds the answer he wants, silently walks to a sofa nearby, and lights a cigarette.

He finishes an entire cigarette before he looks again at Su Wanxin, who is still standing in the corner.

"Come here."

She shakes her head.

"Wanwan, come here."

He repeats in a low voice, his temper flaring because of her.

There are still some things unclear, he has suspicions, but he is not certain, he needs her help.

It feels like a century has passed, and Su Wanxin slowly walks over to him with heavy steps.

She can’t clearly describe her feelings right now, tormented, anxious, uncomfortable, yet mixed with a slight sense of relief that is difficult to detect.

At some moments, she inexplicably feels a joy of relief, as if she had been struggling to carry a mountain alone and suddenly got a helper who is stronger than her.

But it’s just a fleeting few seconds, then that feeling disappears. What follows is regret over messing up important matters.

Fu Shihan raises his eyes to look at the person standing in front of him, lifts his hand, and pulls her to sit on his lap.

"I won’t scare you anymore, don’t be afraid," he says gently, pinching her cold cheek, comforting her softly.

"You didn’t scare me, you were just stating what you could do."

"...I was wrong, don’t be angry." Fu Shihan quickly backs down, but it doesn’t work very well.

Su Wanxin gets caught in his trap and blurts out the wrong words under confusion. But it’s too late to mend the fold after the sheep have escaped, he’s as clever as they come.

Her gaze is calm as she looks at him, and she smiles.

"Wrong? Where did you go wrong? Is it wrong in bribing Mu Suyu to help you lie? Or is it wrong in threatening me, a garment for every lie? Or, is it wrong in using death to scare me?"

Fu Shihan is at fault, and the room falls into silence for a moment. But eventually, he manages to regain control of the situation.

"The last matter, we are both guilty."

He did trap and force her, no doubt. But isn’t she doing the same?

That day, her words "If you don’t sign, I will die for you to see" had a significant deterrent effect.

The thought she put into manipulating him wasn’t any less than his.

"An article of clothing for every lie, you know even if you took every piece off, and you shake your head saying no, I wouldn’t do anything to you."

In some matters, he would seduce or deceive, but would never force. Over the years, how many times she kicked him out of bed and out of the door, he couldn’t recall.

He still argues, and Su Wanxin frowns slightly after listening.

"Moreover, I only planned to ask you two questions, count how many garments you are wearing."

Now that it’s cold, it’s not as easy to take advantage as in summer. With her skill in dodging the topic, those few garments she wears would last for hours of talking.

"Bribing Mu Suyu, she couldn’t resist the temptation of money, you can’t blame me."

Su Wanxin scoffs coldly, he always has a rationale. She can’t argue with him, she stays silent.

"You tell me, why would Grandpa suddenly find you and threaten me to leave?" Fu Shihan ponders for a moment before asking her.

He feels something is off, feels like someone is scheming against him. "He indeed doesn’t like you much, but I had already talked to him on the day Fu Shili’s engagement, and he promised not to touch you for three months."

Now that Fu Shihan has calmed down, the more he thinks, the less it adds up. What could make the old man go back on his word?
