She abandoned her husband first, then her children, and was ecstatic after the divorce.

Chapter 163 I Can't Give Up on Her

Although Lu An's argument was reasonable and well-founded, Fu Xiuheng was unwilling to admit it.

He retorted excitedly, "After Fu Xingze was born, Qingran treated me the same as before, without any change."

Lu An's expression was grave. "President, please think about this calmly. Although Miss Jiang seems to be doing as usual, I can always sense from my interactions with her that she is only doing this because of the Lin family. She has to fulfill her responsibilities as a wife, not out of love for you. Her actions are more due to family pressure than genuine feelings."

Lu An's eyes were filled with helplessness. He knew his words were hurtful, but after a pause, he continued.

"Back then, she stayed by your side only to gain the Lin family's approval and to win her parents' love, right?"

After listening to Lu An's explanation, Fu Xiuheng fell silent, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

He recalled the details of the past and suddenly realized that Lin Qingran was truly all alone.

It seemed as if she had no one in this world she could truly rely on.

Actually, they could have chosen not to return to the Lin family and continued their carefree life in Yuncheng.

But she was willing to give up the comfort of Yuncheng and resolutely returned to the Lin family to start over, just for that sliver of possible warmth from family.

It turned out that his biological mother hated him to the core, and the so-called father was not his biological father.

Her blood-related brother despised Lin Qingran, speaking coldly and never giving her a kind look.

But the person she once loved so deeply never took her seriously.

They ignored her dedication and deep affection, and even trampled on it wantonly.

Lin Qingran chose to leave the capital because she was utterly disappointed with it.

There was no family affection she craved, no love she longed for, only endless pain and hurt.

Surrounded by enemies on all sides, she only chose to fight back when she was forced into a corner.

To be fair, Lin Qingran has been kind in the face of so much malice.

After listening to Lu An's words, Fu Xiuheng finally believed what Lu An said and fell into a long silence.

Looking at Fu Xiuheng like this, Lu An felt a pang of pity, but still continued speaking.

"If you truly still love Miss Jiang, perhaps you should let go. After all, it's already been incredibly difficult for her to start a new life; don't disturb her any further, she also..."

But Fu Xiuheng suddenly interrupted.

"I will not give up on Qingran."

Lu An looked puzzled, completely unable to understand his thoughts.

Fu Xiuheng took a deep breath. "I have done many things that have wronged Qingran. Now I know I was wrong, and I can't just let her leave like this. I have to do something to make up for my past mistakes, even if it comes at a huge price, I am willing to do it."

After saying that, Fu Xiuheng pushed open the car door without hesitation, got out of the car, and left.

As Lu An watched Fu Xiuheng's departing figure, he couldn't help but question his boss once again.

Sometimes persistence is a virtue, but in this matter, Lu An felt that his boss was too stubborn.

Excessive obsession is not a good thing; it will only bring endless trouble to others.

Sitting in the car, Lu An thought it over and over, but finally couldn't help but take out his phone and send a message to Lin Qingran.

After pressing the send button, Lu An reacted as if stung by a scorpion, abruptly throwing his phone away.

He didn't know if what he was doing was right or wrong, but the situation was so chaotic that Lu An felt exhausted.

He just hopes that everyone can wake up and get back to their own business.

Lin Qingran had not blocked Lu An's phone number, so she found the message Lu An sent her early the next morning.

After clicking to read it, she was first stunned, then couldn't help but laugh in anger.

Bo Ye, who was beside her, was awakened by her noise. He was still sleepy and looked blank as he spoke.

"what happened?"

Lin Qingran didn't say anything, but simply handed the phone to Bo Ye.

Bo Ye rubbed his eyes, took the phone and glanced at it. The more he looked, the uglier his expression became. His brows furrowed, and in the end, he couldn't control his burning anger and said through gritted teeth.

"How can Fu Xiuheng be so ungrateful? Even after all this, he still won't let it go!"

Lu An sent a text message, specifically reminding Lin Qingran to be careful of Fu Xiuheng recently.

Lu An meant well, but it seems that Fu Xiuheng still won't let Lin Qingran go.

Bo Ye finally couldn't help but burst out cursing, "Has Fu Xiuheng lost his mind? Fu Jingnian has already come back, and he's openly challenging him to compete! His company is facing such a huge crisis, with fire burning their eyebrows, and instead of thinking about how to deal with the mess that's plaguing his company, he has the mind to continue pursuing you. It's simply incomprehensible!"

Bo Ye grew angrier as he spoke, his face turning bright red.

"Does he really think that this kind of persistent pestering will change anything? It's ridiculous!"

Lin Qingran scoffed disdainfully, "Fu Xiuheng is a typical example of someone who is beyond redemption. Sometimes I really suspect that the reason he is in his current position is not only due to his personal abilities, but also largely due to favorable timing, location, and people."

She snorted and continued.

“Fu Xiuheng is currently experiencing bad luck, and it’s as if his brain has been ripped out. The things he does and the ideas he comes up with are inexplicable, making it impossible for people to understand his thinking.”

However, Susukino did not agree, but instead fell into deep thought.

The room fell silent for a moment, with only the soft sound of breathing.

After a long while, he slowly spoke.

“Jiuge, don’t you think that the reason Fu Xiuheng has become like this might be because Shen Pei’an is no longer here?”

Lin Qingran frowned slightly as she carefully recalled what had happened after her reunion with Fu Xiuheng.

The more I thought about it, the more something seemed off.

During this period, she could clearly feel that Fu Xiuheng was becoming increasingly reckless in both business matters and personal life.

Perhaps Bo Ye is right. In the past, when Shen Pei'an was around, he was able to restrain him to some extent.

Although Shen Pei'an's methods were ruthless, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he deserved to die hundreds of times over.

However, it must be admitted that Shen Pei-an's methods were indeed very efficient.

At many crucial moments, he relied on his ruthlessness and decisiveness to solve problems and pave the way for Fu Xiuheng, and indeed helped Fu Xiuheng a lot in his career.

If Shen Pei'an hadn't been so ruthless and decisive in his actions, making enemies everywhere and accumulating so many grudges, perhaps Lin Beichen wouldn't have had the chance to retaliate in the end.

It can only be said that everything has a cause and effect, and many things happen just like the legendary butterfly effect.
