Chapter 143 The Frail White Moonlight in a Substitute Abusive Novel 40
Madam Shen couldn't help but sigh, "Looking at it this way, Ruan Weiwei is far too scheming."
She felt that Qin Yan kept running into her and causing misunderstandings, which couldn't just be a coincidence. How could there be so many coincidences?
Maybe it was Ruan Weiwei who did it on purpose.
She had clearly been eyeing Shi Heng all along, but she couldn't get a hold of him. Knowing that Qin Yan and Shi Heng had a good relationship, she deliberately made him misunderstand.
It's probably no coincidence that she saw Fu Shiheng's picture on her phone screen this morning; Ruan Weiwei clearly knows her.
And what she said, was that an explanation?
That was clearly an attempt to make her misunderstand.
Clearly, she hadn't given up on Shi Heng and wanted to sabotage his relationship with Yun Qing.
Yun Qing quietly spoke up for Fu Shiheng, "After Brother Shiheng discovered her ill intentions, he fired her."
Shen Xiqin nodded and said, "This kind of person probably doesn't have the mind to work properly, so he should be fired decisively."
Yun Qing nodded repeatedly, then complained, "She's so shameless. Even after being expelled, she's still not giving up and keeps trying to get close to Brother Shiheng. She even became Brother Yan's mistress, which must also be to get close to Brother Shiheng."
Madam Shen saw through her little scheme and found it somewhat amusing. She went along with her, saying, "Ruan Weiwei is so cunning; her words are not to be trusted. Of course, we should believe Shi Heng."
Yun Qing quickly agreed, "Yes, it's all Ruan Weiwei's scheme!"
Fu Shiheng smiled and ruffled her hair. If Yun Qing's parents weren't still there, he would definitely hug her and give her a kiss. How could she be so lovable?
Fu Shiheng and Qin Yan still had work to do, so after talking with Shen Xiqin for a while, they prepared to go to the company.
Yunqing was unwell, and Madam Shen wouldn't let her stay at the hospital, so she had no choice but to leave with Fu Shiheng.
After leaving the ward, the three of them went downstairs together. Fu Shiheng held Yun Qing's hand and asked Qin Yan, "Why haven't I heard you mention those things before?"
"I thought you knew!"
"Your usual cufflinks are in her hands, how could you not know?"
"The necklace you bought at a high price is with her, how could you not know?"
"She used your card to make purchases, how could you not know?"
"Your coat was wrapped all the way around her waist, how could you not know?"
After Qin Yan finished speaking rapidly, he paused for a moment before muttering, "You really don't know how I could have figured it out!"
Fu Shiheng said speechlessly, "I've always said that Ruan Weiwei isn't a stand-in. Haven't you ever suspected anything? You've always said I'm stubborn, but you haven't even thought to say these things to slap me in the face?"
Qin Yan shook his head and said, "I've encountered so many coincidences that I've already concluded that Ruan Weiwei is a stand-in."
"Keeping a mistress is common practice in the industry, there's nothing strange about it. But at that time, I thought you were already deeply in love with Yun Qing, so I felt that your behavior was like inviting trouble."
"So during that time I kept mentioning Yun Qing in front of you, hoping to make you realize your mistake and turn back from the wrong path."
"Who knew you'd be so stubborn, pretending to be confused even when you know the truth? Not only do you refuse to admit that Ruan Weiwei is a substitute, but you also deny your feelings for Yun Qing. Well, there's nothing I can do but let you have your way."
Fu Shiheng: ...What do you mean by pretending to be confused when you know the truth? I really don't understand! At that time, I just thought you were crazy, inexplicably so.
Qin Yan said helplessly, "Given your attitude, I still have a sense of propriety. There's no need to make things ugly, is there?"
"We're good friends, but what right do I have to tell you what to do about having a mistress?"
"Don't you, Fu Shiheng, have any pride?"
"Should I really afford to break off all ties with you over this and end our friendship?"
Actually, there was another reason: he felt that Yun Qing might not come back.
Who would have thought that Yun Qing, who had been quiet for four years, would suddenly come back?
Qin Yan sighed, "In the end, I still have to keep it a secret for you. It's because Yun Qing is in poor health and has always liked you. She can't take this shock."
"And what happened? You called me an idiot!"
Thinking of this, Qin Yan couldn't help but say indignantly, "I'm such a traitor!"
Yun Qing looked at Qin Yan and realized that he didn't seem to be lying. He really was thinking about her health.
That's not how it was in the original story.
In the original storyline, the people in Fu Shiheng's small circle kept his hiring of a body double a secret, a choice made purely out of self-interest.
This also applies to Qin Yan, the second male lead.
He even saved Fu Shiheng from being exposed, then called Fu Shiheng to boast about his success, jokingly getting Fu Shiheng to give him a lucrative project.
Qin Yan was quite smug, and his words showed almost no respect for Shen Yunqing.
But things seem different now?
Qin Yan still values interests, and Fu Shiheng has also said that he doesn't believe in feelings and only cares about interests.
But he doesn't seem to have as few moral limits as he did in the original story.
Is it because the male lead has changed, which has affected the second male lead, causing him to change as well?
Upon closer reflection, it doesn't seem to make any mistake.
Birds of a feather flock together.
Fu Shiheng has gone from a scumbag to a normal person. If Qin Yan were still the same character in the story, even if the two were childhood friends and had interests involved, they would probably only maintain a superficial relationship and shouldn't be spending so much time together.
And despite Qin Yan's sharp tongue and annoying manner, and Fu Shiheng's apparent resentment, Fu Shiheng was noticeably closer to Qin Yan than to the others in their circle.
Fu Shiheng glanced at Qin Yan and sneered, "You were completely fooled by Ruan Weiwei, and you concluded that she was a stand-in after just a few coincidences? Aren't you stupid?"
Qin Yan sneered, "How much better can you be? You're practically being labeled as Ruan Weiwei's possession, and you still know nothing about it!"
Yun Qing: ...You don't need to portray Ruan Weiwei as having some amazing methods; it's mostly just part of the plot.
She pulled Fu Shiheng closer to her and patted his back reassuringly.
Then she looked at Qin Yan and asked curiously, "Brother Yan, why did you agree to let Ruan Weiwei be your mistress?"
He clearly doesn't like Ruan Weiwei, and he even knows that Ruan Weiwei likes Fu Shiheng. What's his motive?
Is it because you didn't have enough fun that you feel you were at a disadvantage in the marriage alliance?
He didn't even make a profit by keeping Ruan Weiwei as his mistress!
Isn't this just the plot forcing them to be connected?
Qin Yan's expression turned sour when the matter was brought up.
The thought of being forcibly kissed by a woman like Ruan Weiwei made him feel disgusted.
He must have lost his mind. He was clearly disgusted, but he still wanted to try to get closer to him.
Ultimately, it was Xu Qiao who angered him.
At that time, he and Xu Qiao reached a preliminary agreement on marriage. The process was a normal negotiation and went relatively smoothly.
But then Xu Qiao suddenly said, "Young Master Qin is quite innocent. It seems I'm the one who got the better deal."
Qin Yan felt a little unconvinced when people called her innocent.
She then looked him over and asked, feigning hesitation but actually teasing, "Is Young Master Qin alright?"
She practically pointed her finger at him and asked if he was impotent.
Qin Yan's restraint in not flipping the table in anger was already quite remarkable.
Xu Qiao then comforted him, "It's okay if you're not feeling well. My little puppy is quite pleasing to the eye, Young Master Qin shouldn't have any objections, right?"
Qin Yan was so enraged that he almost wanted to prove himself right there and then.
The woman left after flirting with him, leaving him feeling incredibly frustrated.
He now reasonably suspects that Xu Qiao did it on purpose, just to make him make a mistake so that she could find something to use against him.
He was so angry that he impulsively kept Ruan Weiwei as a mistress who was not real, and as a result, she seized the opportunity to rewrite the distribution of benefits.
Qin Yan sighed inwardly. Why was he acting out of spite?
He's not really impotent; he just hates having intimate relationships with women.
However, he certainly won't say these things.
He smiled wryly at Yun Qing and said, "Wasn't this Shi Heng's suggestion? If I don't do as he says..."
He glanced at Fu Shiheng, then shut his mouth with a knowing look, appearing pitiful and oppressed, unable to speak out against his anger.
Yun Qing: ...
