I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 128

“Alright, I accept your request. I’ll definitely cure your sister, but you might want to ask her what she did, Mr. An. The person who did this to her wasn’t just anybody. It was Fu Chengyan!”

An Chenyu jumped and stared at Su Shaoqing in disbelief.

When he first came over, An Chenyu had wanted to have Su Shaoqing ask Fu Chengyan to negotiate with those people. He had once saved Fu Ling’s life. Not many people knew Fu Ling’s true identity, but he did.

Many years passed and Fu Ling’s location was currently unknown, but the Fu family and Fu Chengyan still owed An Chenyu a favor. An Chenyu figured that if he were to bring up this matter, Fu Chengyan would definitely help him. But he didn’t expect that the person Anna angered was Fu Chengyan himself.

Su Shaoqing squinted. His charming eyes held a glimmer of light.

The man was well aware of what An Chenyu was planning. Since he owed An Chenyu a favor, he would naturally return it. But he was different from Fu Chengyan. Su Shaoqing never liked being tied down by others, and An Chenyu had clearly crossed the line.

There was someone in his heart—someone whom he still had difficulty talking about after all these years.

Su Shaoqing got up. His hands, which were stained with bleach all year long, looked so abnormally fair that they seemed rather sinister. He calmly pinched the third button of his coat with his slender fingers.

“You should head back and ask your sister how she angered Fu Chengyan, Mr. An. After all, Fu Chengyan is not easily infuriated, but once he’s mad… I’m sure you’ve heard of what happened years ago.”

An Chenyu turned pale and clenched his fists. “Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Su,” he said with a gulp. An Chenyu didn’t know what Anna had done to offend Fu Chengyan, but he knew how Fu Chengyan took care of such matters.

Rumor was that someone once laid a finger on a woman. That woman used to be by Fu Chengyan’s side. No one knew what relationship the woman had with Fu Chengyan, but Fu Chengyan treated her extremely well. To avenge that woman, Fu Chengyan instantly disposed of the young master of the Chen family, and the entire Chen family was wiped out within one night.

According to rumors, that woman was the one Fu Chengyan loved, but Fu Chengyan never clarified this matter. But ever since that incident, everyone knew not to offend Fu Chengyan.

An Chenyu walked out of Su Shaoqing’s office in a daze and headed to Anna’s ward.

Su Shaoqing was the kind of person who would keep his promises. All the doctors in charge of curing Anna were experts who had returned from abroad. Anna was an extremely vain woman; being severely injured from head to toe was the most torturous thing that had ever happened to her.

She was now fully wrapped in bandages and she laid in bed, unable to move.

An Chenyu stood at the door, shivering with fear as he looked at her. Anna hadn’t seemed to calm down. She was extremely hostile despite being covered by bandages. “Get out of here, all of you! Get out!”

Anna tried to get up, only to be pinned down by the nurses and doctors. “Please calm down, miss!”

“How can I calm down? Let go of me and get out!”

“Are you done?”

An Chenyu shoved the door open and glared at Anna coldly.

Anna’s face had been wrapped up. She peered at An Chenyu through a very small opening in front of her eyes. This was her first time seeing An Chenyu look this furious, so she was very afraid. “Brother.”

Anna instantly stopped fussing about, and she couldn’t help but cry.

An Chenyu furrowed his brows and turned to the doctors and nurses. “Could you please leave for a moment?”

After all the medical personnel had left, An Chenyu closed the door and walked in. “Are you OK?”

“No, I’m not OK at all. Brother, you have to take revenge for what they did to me!”

“Revenge?” An Chenyu laughed coldly. Seeing how unrepentant Anna was, he kind of regretted asking for this favor from Su Shaoqing. “Do you not know what you did wrong?”

“What did I do wrong? I didn’t do anything.” Anna stared at An Chenyu in disbelief. She couldn’t believe that her brother, who always loved and pampered her, was actually questioning her instead of helping her. She was clearly a victim now. “Are you not going to take revenge for me, even when I’ve been reduced to this state?”

“That’s enough!” An Chenyu interrupted her coldly. “I don’t want to argue, but what did you do at Prosperous Dynasty last night? I went around asking for help, but no one dares lend a hand. Tell me what you did that caused Fu Chengyan to personally do this to you.”

“Fu Chengyan!?”

Anna’s eyes widened. The cold eyes belonging to that man instantly surfaced in her mind. She turned to An Chenyu in shock. That dumbfounded look on her face nearly caused An Chenyu to crumble. “You really did something to piss Fu Chengyan off?”

“No! I didn’t!” Anna quickly shook her head. “You have to believe me, brother. I really didn’t. I…” she explained while on the verge of tears. “Yes, I’ve seen him, but that was a long time ago. He never even bothered me! You have to believe me. I didn’t even see Fu Chengyan this time—how could I have angered him?”

Anna frantically tried to get out of bed, but fell back down in pain when her movements caused a strain on her injuries. She reached out to grab An Chenyu’s leg. “I really didn’t offend Fu Chengyan, brother!”

“That’s impossible!” He wanted to believe Anna, but Su Shaoqing’s words were even more credible. After all, someone like Su Shaoqing wouldn’t lie to him. A huge figure like Fu Chengyan would never bother with them, unless Anna had truly enraged him. Otherwise, there was no way he would personally deal with small fries like them. “If you’re saying you didn’t piss Fu Chengyan off, then what on earth did you do yesterday?”

“I…” Anna opened her mouth but dared not speak.

An Chenyu was livid and anxious, especially seeing Anna remaining so secretive up until now. “How can I help if you don’t tell me?”

“I… Brother, I really didn’t mean it. I just wanted to teach her a lesson,” Anna said in fear. “I never thought it’d end up this way. You have to save me. I…”

“Don’t rush. Take your time. Who are you talking about?”

Anna gulped. “My classmate, Shi Nuan. I just can’t stand her. She stole my boyfriend while we were at school, and now she wants to steal Shi Wei’s boyfriend. Shi Wei is her own sister! I got so mad seeing her flirting around at the party, so I… I had some people teach her a lesson while she went to the bathroom. But I didn’t expect the people I hired to use a snake.”

“Snake?”

An Chenyu’s expression changed as he looked at Anna. “You sure have a lot of guts, using a snake like that. Don’t you know it could kill someone? Shi Nuan. Shi Nuan…” An Chenyu wondered why this name sounded so familiar. “You said you were just teaching Shi Nuan a lesson? Then why did Fu Chengyan do this to you?”

“How would I know? I…”

Anna couldn’t understand either. All she did was teach that wench a lesson; how did it end up being related to Fu Chengyan?

“That’s enough. Get some rest. I’ll find out about this. Fu Chengyan doesn’t seem like an irrational guy, so he naturally wouldn’t do anything if you really are innocent. But if you dare hide anything else from me, know that even I won’t be able to help you!”

Anna was in complete chaos after An Chenyu left. She couldn’t figure out how she had offended Fu Chengyan. But this was a pressing matter, and Anna quickly thought about Shi Wei. Remembering the relationship between Fu Chengyan and Shi Wei’s fiancée, Fu Xicheng, she immediately gave Shi Wei a call.

Shi Wei happened to be choosing a gown. A few days ago, Liu Min had someone send a few pieces over. After Shi Wei had tried them all, she liked two in particular. But the sizes weren’t too fitting, so Liu Min took the dresses back to have them adjusted.

Shi Wei looked at herself in the mirror with a satisfied smile on her face. Then, the housemaid, Qing, walked over with Shi Wei’s phone. “You have a phone call, Ms. Shi Wei!”

Shi Wei nodded. She was in a particularly good mood. But her expression changed slightly upon seeing Anna’s name on the screen. She felt annoyed but answered the phone anyway. “Hello, Anna? Are you OK?”

“I… I’m fine. My brother got me out,” Anna answered, feeling slightly comforted upon hearing Shi Wei ask about her. “Wei, last night…”

“I’m sorry, Anna. I couldn’t save you in time last night… But you know—those guys—they…” Shi Wei sounded like she was about to cry. “I’m sorry, Anna!”

“It’s fine. I’ve gotten out of there,” Anna said. “Wei, can you help me with something?”

“What is it?” Shi Wei asked, despite feeling extremely reluctant.

Hearing an opportunity, Anna quickly answered, “Isn’t Fu Chengyan your fiancée’s uncle? Can you get Fu Xicheng beg Fu Chengyan and ask him to let me go just this once?”

“Fu Chengyan? Anna, why would you ask me to beg Fu Chengyan for no reason? Besides, you know that even though he’s Xicheng’s uncle, it’s…not easy to negotiate with him.” Shi Wei turned her down without a second thought. “It’s not that I don’t want to help you, Anna. There’s just nothing I can do.”

“Shi Wei, you…”

“Alright, Anna, I still have things to do. Talk to you later!” Shi Wei hung up the phone and squinted. Jiang Yu happened to walk past the boutique, hence she opened the door and entered. Seeing how gloomy Shi Wei looked, she couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong? Did someone make you mad? You’re about to become a bride and you’re still not happy?”

“It’s nothing!” Shi Wei put her phone away and put on a smile. “How does this dress look, mom?”

“Good! It looks so good!” Jiang Yu said while happily gazing at Shi Wei. “You always look stunning, Wei!”

Meanwhile, Anna stared at her phone in disbelief, not expecting Shi Wei to turn down her request. “Shi Wei!!” she yelled while gritting her teeth and clutching onto her phone tightly.
