"Today, Second Young Master Fu didn't come, and I was a bit worried..."
Manager Wu gestured excitedly, unable to contain himself.
"Look at these, I was worried for nothing. Although Second Young Master Fu didn't come in person, he still remembered you."
Is that so?
Sheng Xiangsi's face lit up with a smile, but inwardly, she felt quite absurd.
When she was his wife, he didn't even want to look at her for a second longer. But now that she's put on a mask, she's piqued his interest.
Who would have thought that Fu Hanjiang would also become infatuated with a dancer?
But what expression would he have when he sees the face beneath the mask? Disappointment... or anger?
In any case, it wouldn't be a good one.
...
It was Monday again, and Sheng Xiangsi had the day off.
She had contacted Fu Mingzhu in advance, informing her that she would come to accompany her today and stay overnight.
Naturally, Fu Mingzhu was delighted, and there was no reason for her to refuse.
Early in the morning, Sheng Xiangsi arrived with her bag and the things she would need for the day.
Fu Mingzhu had just woken up and didn't expect her to arrive so early. "Xiangsi, you came so early? Aren't you young? Don't you want to sleep in?"
"I have plenty of time to sleep, I don't mind missing a day."
Sheng Xiangsi sat down by the bed and saw that Fu Mingzhu seemed fine. After contemplating for a few days, she decided to speak her mind.
"Nana."
Sheng Xiangsi held Fu Mingzhu's hand gently. "I have some things I want to tell you. Please promise me not to get agitated. These are all my heartfelt words."
"Oh?"
Seeing her so serious, Fu Mingzhu smiled. "Alright, since they're your heartfelt words, Nana must listen."
"Then I'll speak."
"Okay."
"Nana."
Sheng Xiangsi began, her eyes slightly red. "I'm very grateful to you for adopting me all those years ago. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have been able to continue dancing. I probably would have entered society early..."
After only a few words, she choked up.
"You child." Fu Mingzhu was also moved, her eyes filled with tears. "To Nana, you're just like Han and Jiang."
"Nana, you've always been kind to me."
Sheng Xiangsi bit her lip and took a deep breath. "So, could you be kind to me one more time?"
"What?" Fu Mingzhu was taken aback, not understanding what she meant. She thought she was asking for a favor and nodded.
"Alright, tell me what it is. Whatever it is, Nana will definitely agree."
"In that case, I'll thank you in advance, Nana."
Sheng Xiangsi gritted her teeth and said, "Please agree to let us divorce."
"What?" Fu Mingzhu was shocked, unable to believe what she was hearing.
"Xiangsi, do you know what you're saying?"
"Mm-hmm, I do."
Sheng Xiangsi nodded, her voice choked with emotion. "Nana, I used to really like Hanjiang, really, really like him..."
That was a fact that couldn't be denied.
"But now, I don't like him anymore."
Behind her, the bathroom door was half open.
A tall figure stood at the doorway, about to step out, but halted upon hearing her words...
"Xiangsi?" Fu Mingzhu held Sheng Xiangsi's hand tightly.
"Besides..." Sheng Xiangsi's heart ached, and she continued, "As you know, he doesn't like me. He never has. What he likes is Yao Leyi."
"!" Fu Mingzhu was stunned, her mouth hanging open, realizing she couldn't refute her. "You, you..."
So she knew everything!
"Nana." Sheng Xiangsi's eyes filled with tears as she spoke softly, "I want to find someone who likes me. Experience what it's like to be loved and cared for. Please be kind to me, fulfill my wish."
"Xiangsi..." Tears welled up in Fu Mingzhu's eyes, rolling down her cheeks. "Nana is sorry for you."
Her two grandsons, liking the same woman, was not a secret in Jiangcheng back then and had become gossip fodder.
To be honest, back then, Fu Mingzhu had introduced Sheng Xiangsi to Fu Hanjiang partly because she liked her and partly out of her own selfishness.
She didn't want the Fu family to continue being the subject of gossip, and she was afraid of family scandal. So the best solution was to find Fu Hanjiang another partner.
In the end, she succeeded.
Fu Hanjiang and Sheng Xiangsi got married, but... it turned out like this.
Fu Mingzhu had grown old, and seeing them now as a pair of unhappy spouses, how could she not blame herself?
With tears in her eyes, she repeated, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Nana has wronged you. If I go down, how can I face your grandmother in the future?"
"Nana."
Sheng Xiangsi pulled out some tissues and wiped her tears.
"Will you agree, then, to let us divorce?"
"Xiangsi?" Fu Mingzhu paused for a moment and asked again, "Is there really no room for reconciliation? Didn't you like Hanjiang a lot? "
Though she had her own selfish reasons, she also saw them as a very promising couple.
"Yes, I used to really like him."
Sheng Xiangsi smiled faintly, thought for a moment, and then continued, "But he abandoned me
