Chapter 98: So much nonsense!

Ruan Liuzheng looked at Fu Yanci's fake face expressionlessly, her beautiful eyes filled with sarcasm.

She sneered, "What else? Mr. Fu, please tell me, how should I treat an ex-husband who cheated on me during marriage?"

"How should I treat a scumbag?"

Xie Wanning was instantly displeased upon hearing this.

Without even Bai Huanqing or Fu Yanci stepping in, she angrily stood up and said, "It's you who can't keep a man's heart. What does my cousin have to do with it?"

Xie Wanning looked at Ruan Liuzheng with disdain. As if thinking of something, a hint of wariness flashed in her eyes. "You've divorced my cousin, why are you still targeting Huanqing? Are you regretting it?"

She said, observing Ruan Liuzheng's expression, her beautiful eyes filled with vigilance and suspicion.

No wonder Ruan Liuzheng deliberately raised the price of the painting, even though it was clearly not worth the price, to specifically oppose her and Huanqing.

Ruan Liuzheng had such despicable intentions. Perhaps she had even guessed her identity long ago.

She was even trying to use her and Huanqing to gain power!

This woman's scheming was truly extraordinary!

As Xie Wanning contemplated all the possibilities, her expression grew increasingly solemn, and her gaze towards Ruan Liuzheng grew increasingly hostile.

She frowned, her voice stern and threatening, "I'm warning you, stop trying these devious ideas! Brother Yanci's crush is Huanqing, and in my heart, only a lady from a noble family like Huanqing is worthy of my cousin!"

"Don't even think about ruining their relationship!"

Ruan Liuzheng was practically laughing at her foolishness.

She wondered what was wrong with her mind. Or was she, like Bai Huanqing, born with a strong bias against Fu Yanci?

She assumed all women harbored inappropriate feelings for him.

After all, how could anyone who could be friends with Bai Huanqing be normal?

Ruan Liuzheng glanced at Xie Wanning in silence, a hint of disdain etched in her eyes. "Don't worry, I, Ruan Liuzheng, am not so servile as to return to my former lover." "

Besides, I have high standards. Ordinary people are not worthy of my attention."

Ruan Liuzheng glanced at the grim-faced Xie Wanning and Fu Yanci, then returned her gaze to Fu Yanci, a hint of a half-smile playing at the corner of her lips.

"Fu Yanci, why have I never heard you mention your cousin? Is she your cousin, or just another lover?"

Ruan Liuzheng's words were careless, but the expressions of the three people before her all darkened, especially Fu Yanci.

He had never expected Ruan Liuzheng to be so arrogant. Even after leaving the Fu family, Ruan Liuzheng hadn't shown any signs of restraint.

Did Ruan Liuzheng really think that everyone would be as tolerant of her as he was?

Fu Yanci took a deep breath, a chill spreading across his stern features. He looked at Ruan Liuzheng and said in a cold voice, "Shut up! Do you think everyone has a heart as vicious as yours?"

"Ruan Liuzheng, you're no longer the mistress of the Fu family. I advise you to be more restrained. If you offend someone important, no one will come to clean up your mess."

Ruan Liuzheng said nothing, simply glancing coldly at Fu Yanci with an indifferent expression. She

seemed to take Fu Yanci's threat completely for granted.

However, some people couldn't stand Ruan Liuzheng's pure and unworldly appearance, such as Bai Huanqing.

She stood beside Fu Yanci, her clear eyes fixed on Ruan Liuzheng's posture, her eyes filled with undisguised jealousy.

She tightened her grip around Fu Yanci's hand and said, "Yes, Sister Liuzheng, although you're... that kind of life isn't a long-term solution. Besides, Chengcheng is still part of the Fu family. Grandpa Fu wouldn't bear to see Chengcheng live that kind of... shameful life with you."

"You'd better change your character soon. Don't bring shame to the Fu family with you."

Bai Huanqing held Fu Yanci's arm and looked at Ruan Liuzheng earnestly. Her voice was gentle and melodious, every word a warning to Ruan Liuzheng.

Just listening to her made one feel incredibly kind.

And indeed, almost as soon as she finished speaking, Fu Yanci and Xie Wanning both smiled at her with a gentle, doting smile.

Her words also deepened Fu Yanci and Xie Wanning's dislike for Ruan Liuzheng.

Fu Yanci and Bai Huanqing's disapproval of Ruan Liuzheng grew even more displeased.

Ruan Liuzheng stood quietly aside, watching the interaction of the three people in front of her with cold eyes, and the annoyance in her heart gradually reached its peak.

Today is Mr. Wen's art exhibition, and she shouldn't keep wasting time on unimportant people like them.

Besides, some blind and heartless people do look a bit...disgusting.

Ruan Liuzheng raised her eyes slightly, her expression cold and indifferent. She looked at the three people opposite, and said in a slightly cold tone, "Do you still want to buy this painting? If not, don't waste my time."

"Buy it! Of course!"

Without waiting for Fu Yanci and Bai Huanqing to speak, Xie Wanning spoke first, her attitude as high and mighty as always, "It is an insult to Uncle Wen that his paintings fall into the hands of people like you."

Ruan Liuzheng raised her eyes and glanced at the paintings behind her, and a faint light flashed across her cold eyes.

She raised the corners of her lips and looked at Xie Wanning with a half-smile, "In that case, then you should pay."

"Five million, by card or check?"

Ruan Liuzheng held out her hand as a matter-of-factly, gazing at the three people in front of her with a smile that was indescribably playful.

Fu Yanci was startled when he heard this, and he frowned, his expression slightly surprised. "What kind of painting is worth five million?"

Ruan Liuzheng smiled slightly. As a seller, she kindly turned aside to reveal the vibrant and vibrant painting behind her.

A hint of a half-smile played at the corners of her pale pink lips.

Fu Yanci raised his eyes and glanced at the painting on the wall, his stern brows slightly wrinkled.

The style and brushwork were slightly innovative compared to Mr. Wen's previous paintings, and it could be considered Mr. Wen's masterpiece.

But to say it was worth five million was still a bit of an exaggeration.

He glanced at Ruan Liuzheng lightly, ignoring her provocation, and turned his head to look at Bai Huanqing beside him.

He lowered his eyebrows, and his dark eyes were instantly filled with tenderness. He whispered, "Huanqing, do you like that painting?"

Bai Huanqing bit her lip, she looked up at Fu Yanci, nodded shyly, and whispered, "Professor Wen's birthday is in a few days, I will choose a special birthday gift for Professor Wen. You know Brother Yanci, ever since I was reported that time, I have never..."

Before he finished speaking, Bai Huanqing's eyes suddenly turned red, and a trace of desire flashed in his clear eyes.

It was the desire to be recognized.

Fu Yanci seemed to remember something. He reached out and hugged Bai Huanqing in his arms, his dark eyes full of heartache.

His face darkened, and he softly soothed Bai Huanqing. Then, raising his eyes, his gaze darkened. "Ruan Liuzheng! Look at what you've done!"

"Framing Huanqing once wasn't enough. Are you planning a second time?"

His voice was cold and filled with anger, as if Ruan Liuzheng had truly committed some unforgivable crime.

Ruan Liuzheng immediately laughed.

It was a laugh of disdain and irony.

She raised her eyebrows and looked at Fu Yanci with cold contempt. "Fu Yanci, I advise you to think carefully before you speak! You know exactly who framed whom. If you keep throwing mud at me without any basis, I will not let you off!"

Ruan Liuzheng looked down at him, her cold eyes filled with impatience and disgust.

She was truly disgusted by the hypocritical couple, Fu Yanci and Bai Huanqing.

She took a deep breath, the chill between her brows growing even colder. She said coldly, "Your self-righteous affection will only move yourselves in the end."

Fu Yanci was instantly enraged.

He said grimly, "What about you? You're fickle, and after your divorce, you're already eager to find another target. How can you be considered a good person?"

"Ruan Liuzheng, you'd better hope that the person behind you will always protect you and ensure you never regret it. Otherwise... even if you come back to beg me, I won't let you off easily!"

Fu Yanci stared at Ruan Liuzheng with a heavy gaze, as if he wanted to see through her, to poke a hole through her.

After leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau that day, he had asked Jiang Ze to investigate the owner of the Rolls-Royce Phantom. But a week had passed, and even after exhausting all his connections, he had still found nothing.

This meant that Ruan Liuzheng was currently hooking up with either one of Yuncheng's most prestigious families, or that person.

Fu Yanci's face darkened, and his gaze towards Ruan Liuzheng darkened even further.

Ruan Liuzheng had no idea that in just a few seconds, Fu Yanci's thoughts had changed a thousand times.

But even if she knew, she wouldn't care.

Because in her eyes and heart, Fu Yanci no longer had any place.

She would never let Fu Yanci influence her thoughts again.

Ruan Liuzheng's eyes narrowed, and a cold look appeared between her beautiful eyebrows. She opened her mouth expressionlessly, "You talk too much nonsense!"

"Do you want this painting or not? My patience has its limits."

Ruan Liuzheng changed her tone and looked at Bai Huanqing indifferently, but her tone was as indifferent as ever.

She crossed her arms, and her slender fingertips gently tapped her slender arms. Her pure and unworldly face showed undisguised impatience.

Fu Yanci looked at Ruan Liuzheng and felt like he had punched cotton. He couldn't even vent his anger

because Ruan Liuzheng didn't buy it at all.

He took a deep breath, his eyes cold, and his handsome face seemed to be dripping with ink.

Every move he made revealed deep displeasure.

However, before he could speak, Bai Huanqing, who was standing beside him, took the lead and stood up. She looked at Fu Yanci tenderly, then at Ruan Liuzheng, and her clear eyes flashed with a moment of hesitation. She unconsciously pursed her lips.
