Chapter 135: Fu Zhiqing's Suicidal Man.

Upon hearing this, Ye Shutong turned to look at Ruan Liuzheng, a warm feeling welling up in her heart.

She forced a slightly stiff smile, her beautiful fox eyes gleaming with tears. She

nodded, saying, "Yes, we'll all get through this."

Ye Shutong squeezed Ruan Liuzheng's hand, but a hint of bitterness flickered in her eyes.

Ruan Liuzheng understood Ye Shutong's feelings, having experienced them herself.

She didn't try to persuade her, just like Ye Shutong had done before. Even though she knew Fu Yanci wasn't a good match, she still chose to endure after seeing her obsessive attachment to him.

He chose to silently accompany her from behind, offering warm comfort and a qualified listener whenever she felt sad.

During those years, besides Fu Yanci, Ruan Liuzheng had only Ye Shutong as her friend.

And Ye Shutong was the only one who remained loyal to her despite all the foolish things she had done for him.

Ruan Liuzheng knew Ye Shutong's feelings at the time, and understood her choice. So, if their situations were reversed, Ruan Liuzheng would make the same choice.

Even if Ye Shutong truly made some foolish decisions for Shi Mufeng, she would always stand by Ye Shutong.

She would never leave Ye Shutong without someone behind her; she would always be his support.

From the day they became friends, they knew that, besides family, they were each other's greatest support.

And in this world, it seemed they no longer had any.

So, no matter the circumstances, no matter what happened to them, they would never abandon each other.

Even if they knew it was a wrong path, they would still walk hand in hand.

Ruan Liuzheng understood Ye Shutong, just as Ye Shutong understood Ruan Liuzheng.

They were both stubborn and inherently proud.

They would rather persevere through a path than give up halfway. If they only realized their mistakes at the end, they would start all over again.

Isn't that how Ruan Liuzheng is now?

You might think they're foolish, stupid, and unreasonable, but isn't life about growing through trial and error?

Without Fu Yanci's betrayal, how could Ruan Liuzheng be the strong and courageous woman she is today? How could she see through everything and recognize the true nature of love?

Similarly, Ye Shutong needs to grow.

Fortunately, with Ruan Liuzheng's example in mind, Ye Shutong shouldn't waste as much time on useless people as she did.

Ruan Liuzheng's lips tightened, and her delicate features shone with a faint coldness under the overhead light.

Her outfit and make-up, combined with her current attire, seemed to cast a faint divine aura over her.

A hint of compassion shone through the coldness.

...

While Ruan Liuzheng and Ye Shutong were talking, Fu Yanci and his group on the opposite side had already arrived in front of them.

They had unintentionally blocked their path, as if on purpose.

Seeing this, Ruan Liuzheng's brows knitted together, her cold almond-shaped eyes filled with icy coldness.

She glared at the three people before her with a stern look, her pale pink lips gradually pursed into a straight line.

Impatience permeated her every move.

Seeing Ruan Liuzheng's expression, Fu Zhiqing's fury suddenly flared.

It reminded her of the insult she'd suffered the previous time, and the frustration of being lectured and confined by Old Master Fu.

Her heart sank, and she released her grip on Bai Huanqing's arm, storming forward.

Even so, her attitude remained haughty.

Like a peacock with a superficial appearance, she was nauseous just by looking at it.

Ruan Liuzheng glanced at Fu Zhiqing, who held her head high, a flicker of disdain flashing across her cold eyes.

Her expression remained expressionless.

A real argument with Fu Zhiqing in this situation would have been humiliating.

She had no aspirations of being treated like a monkey in public.

But it was clear that Fu Zhiqing hadn't considered that at all.

She puffed out her chest, approaching Ruan Liuzheng with a proud and confident air, her haughty expression tinged with undisguised malice.

"You're still haunting me! You've divorced my brother, yet you're still so shameless as to cling to him. I wonder where you get the nerve!"

Fu Zhiqing crossed her arms, gazing at Ruan Liuzheng with disdain. Her arrogance was unbearable, even a bit unreasonable.

Ruan Liuzheng's eyes instantly turned cold.

She pursed her lips, a piercing chill etched in her clear, almond-shaped eyes.

Anyone standing before Fu Zhiqing would likely have looked no more displeased than Ruan Liuzheng's current expression.

No one wanted to be belittled, especially without any basis.

Furthermore, this was Fu Zhiqing, the very person who had once so critically criticized and humiliated Ruan Liuzheng.

Someone Ruan Liuzheng now loathed just by looking at her.

The temperature in Ruan Liuzheng's eyes suddenly dropped. She raised her brows, her gaze cold and indifferent. "The Fu family's upbringing is truly eye-opening!"

"Fu Zhiqing, if the Fu family can't teach you well, then I don't mind sending you to the Yuncheng Police Station for a lesson. Let you experience the suffering Fu Yanci once endured."

She gently lifted her eyelids, a hint of coldness between her delicate features, but her tone was incredibly calm. It

was calm, yet somehow, it could still convey a sense of oppression.

Not only Fu Zhiqing, but even Fu Yanci, standing behind her, darkened.

However, Fu Yanci, still the head of a group, knew the situation was not right, so he simply glanced at Ruan Liuzheng with displeasure.

He didn't approach her to provoke her, as Fu Zhiqing had done.

He snorted softly, a hint of disdain in his dark eyes. He looked at Ruan Liuzheng, but addressed Fu Zhiqing, who was standing beside him.

The voice was light, without the slightest threat, but rather revealed a sense of doting.

"Zhiqing, don't bother with irrelevant people, don't forget what we are here for today."

Fu Yanci's lips curled slightly, but the look he cast on Ruan Liuzheng became more and more disdainful, his eyebrows and eyes cold, "It's beneath your status to get entangled with such people."

Fu Zhiqing's eyes turned, she seemed to have thought of something, and the anger in her heart suddenly dissipated. She showed Ruan Liuzheng a strange smile.

Then, she turned around and returned to Fu Yanci and Bai Huanqing with an arrogant attitude.

Her expression was even more arrogant than before.

As arrogant as if nothing was worth her attention, as if she was the host of today's banquet.

Ruan Liuzheng's brow furrowed slightly. She glanced at Fu Yanci and Fu Zhiqing before her, and for some reason, a strange feeling welled up in her heart.

She tightened her grip on Ye Shutong's hand, and the corners of her pale crimson lips unconsciously pursed into a straight line.

A rare flash of solemnity flashed across her cold, almond-shaped eyes.
