Hearing the name Fu Mingyue, Yu Shanshan instinctively stopped her steps, but it was just a momentary pause. The next moment, she continued walking as if she hadn’t heard anything.
Yuan Ran thought that she would immediately come back to ask her after hearing her words. Instead, she saw her completely ignoring her, which made her both surprised and angry. She stared at Yu Shanshan with wide eyes, stamped her foot in frustration, and raised her voice again, “Yu Shanshan, let me tell you, my brother belongs to Mingyue sister, and you are the third party between them! Stop being a shameful third party!”
Her voice was too loud, and the explosive words she used caused the people passing by to look at Yu Shanshan with disdain.
The third party is the most shameful.
Yu Shanshan was furious. How dare she call her a third party?!
With anger rising, Yu Shanshan walked back to Yuan Ran, standing in front of her, enduring her anger as she pointed at her, “Let me tell you, Yuan Ran, I tolerate you because you’re my husband’s sister. I give face to your brother. Otherwise, I would have dealt with you long ago. Don’t spout nonsense here. Otherwise, I won’t care who you are, I won’t give anyone face! If you don’t believe it, try me!”
Yuan Ran had witnessed Yu Shanshan dealing with someone before, so she felt a little nervous under her furious momentum. But considering that Yu Shanshan was indeed the third party, her brother should have belonged to Mingyue Jie. Yu Shanshan was the third party.
Thinking like this, Yuan Ran’s slight nervousness disappeared. She sneered and disdainfully said, “If it weren’t for you seducing my brother, my brother would have married Mingyue Jie long ago. Everyone knows that Mingyue Jie has been engaged to my brother since childhood. You’re not the third party, who is?”
Yu Shanshan wanted to slap her, but her growth in the past four years made her endure it. Four years ago, she couldn’t hold back and it led to so many conflicts later on. Now she was not the same person she was four years ago. She couldn’t act impulsively because of someone’s provocation. It would definitely lead to no good in the end.
She needed to stay calm!!!
Encouraging herself in her heart, Yu Shanshan took a deep breath and said coldly, “Yuan Ran, stop deliberately provoking me here. I know everything. You always say your brother and Fu Mingyue are a couple. Then let me ask you, has your brother ever been engaged to your Mingyue Jie? Has he ever admitted that his fiancée is your Mingyue Jie, even for a moment? Hmph, from beginning to end, it’s all your wishful thinking. But you still act like you’re morally superior here, don’t you feel ashamed? Don’t you have any shame?”
As Yu Shanshan spoke, she took out her phone. “Do you want me to call your brother and ask him personally if he has ever admitted to the fiancée you forced on him? Huh?”
Seeing that she was about to call her brother, Yuan Ran panicked and quickly said, “Just because you have a child doesn’t mean you can tie my brother down. My brother only acknowledges you because of the child. Otherwise, do you think he would be interested in you in your current fat state? Stop dreaming! Compared to Mingyue Jie, you’re much worse off. Any man with eyes can see who to choose.”
As she spoke, Yuan Ran didn’t give Yu Shanshan a chance to retort. She pulled out several photos from her phone to show her. “Do you think my brother is devoted to you? Stop dreaming. My brother’s true love is still Mingyue Jie. Otherwise, why hasn’t he come back to see you and your son for so long, but he’s so affectionate with Mingyue Jie in the army?”
Yu Shanshan looked at the photos on the screen, stunned.
The people in the photos were Yuan Long and another woman, Fu Mingyue. They were looking at each other, walking shoulder to shoulder, eating together at the restaurant, and even riding in the same car…
What shocked Yu Shanshan even more was that the Yuan Long in the photos was not the Yuan Long from four years ago, but undoubtedly him in the present, because the clothes he was wearing were the ones she bought for him before he left, even the sweater he was wearing inside.
How could he be with Fu Mingyue? Isn’t he in the army?
Seeing Yu Shanshan’s dazed expression, Yuan Ran smirked triumphantly, “How about that? Do you believe it now? Don’t think my brother likes you so much. You are nothing now. My brother doesn’t even like you. Only someone like Mingyue Jie is worthy of my brother. Stop daydreaming and leave voluntarily.”
However, Yu Shanshan didn’t follow her words. Instead, she suppressed her anger and looked at her coldly, asking, “How did Fu Mingyue appear in the army?”
Yuan Ran’s heart skipped a beat. She originally wanted to say that it was her brother who called Mingyue Jie there. But she realized that this lie could be exposed at any moment, so she reluctantly told the truth, “My Mingyue Jie is a top student who graduated from the Military Medical University. She could have gone to the best military hospital, but for the sake of my brother, she willingly gave up the comfortable position and chose to be the team doctor in my brother’s unit. My Mingyue Jie is the true love of my brother.”
With a sneer, Yuan Ran continued, “Did my brother not tell you about this? Because he simply didn’t want to tell you. If he told you, you would go and disturb them. My brother doesn’t want you to disturb them, understand?”
To be honest, Yu Shanshan’s heart was already burning with anger. Yuan Long indeed didn’t say a word about Fu Mingyue becoming the team doctor in their unit, although she knew the reason wouldn’t be as Yuan Ran said. But she was still angry.
He clearly knows that she cares about Fu Mingyue.
But at this critical moment, Yu Shanshan wouldn’t be as easily manipulated as she was four years ago.
Four years ago, it was Yuan Ran who approached her. She told her that Yuan Long already had a fiancée named Fu Mingyue, and they were childhood sweethearts. They were just waiting for Fu Mingyue to graduate to get married. But because she became the third party, Fu Mingyue was so sad that she almost committed suicide. It was the fault of this third party that almost caused the tragedy.
To make her believe, Yuan Ran even brought various evidence to prove the relationship between Fu Mingyue and Yuan Long, including various photos of them together, looking so intimate in those photos.
Seeing these, she had to believe it.
At that time, she was a princess who couldn’t tolerate being wronged, and her easily angered and impulsive nature made her unable to bear it. Being humiliated by Yuan Long’s parents in public made her lose all her rationality. Out of anger, she broke up with Yuan Long again, this time she really wanted to break up, because not only did she block him, but she also found another man to be affectionate with, just to anger Yuan Long.
Yuan Long came to her countless times, but in the end, he was left heartbroken by her. Finally, he admitted to the outcome of the breakup.
Then she found out that she was unexpectedly pregnant, but couldn’t find him.
After that, she left and went far away, four years had passed since then.
Detaching herself from the memories, Yu Shanshan firmly told herself in her heart: “Yu Shanshan, you are not the little girl from four years ago anymore. You shouldn’t hurt yourself and hurt Yuan Long because of someone else’s provocation. You should trust Yuan Long,and not listen to anyone else’s words.”
Yu Shanshan chuckled, looking at Yuan Ran with disdain mixed in her gaze. “Do you think I’m still the same as before? Do you think I don’t know you’re deliberately sowing discord? You used this trick four years ago, and you’re still using it four years later. Don’t you have any other tricks?”
She continued, “You are still the same you from four years ago, but I’m not the naive fool from four years ago anymore. I won’t let you easily provoke conflicts between me and your brother. I will only believe what your brother says, not a word from you!”
“Lastly, let me advise you, don’t prance around in front of me. In my eyes, you’re just a ridiculous clown!”
After saying these harsh words, Yu Shanshan walked away without even looking back, leaving in a cool and graceful manner.
Yuan Ran stared wide-eyed, infuriated beyond belief. She stomped her feet, exploding with shouts and screams on the spot, until security forcibly escorted her away.
As for Yu Shanshan, although she had just coolly confronted Yuan Ran, the frustration in her heart hadn’t dissipated. She was still very angry!
Fu Mingyue unexpectedly transferred to the same unit as Yuan Long to work as the team doctor. Wouldn’t that mean they could see each other every day, and isn’t it easier to succeed when you’re close to the water’s edge?
What’s even more infuriating is Yuan Long didn’t even tell her about this news. Did he want to rebel?
Yu Shanshan was so angry she wished she could bite Yuan Long to death right now.
Although she knew Yuan Long definitely had nothing going on with Fu Mingyue, it didn’t change the fact that she was in a bad mood.
Because of her bad mood, when Yuan Long called via video chat in the evening, Yu Shanshan threw her phone to her chubby son, letting him talk to his dad slowly. She didn’t want to talk to him!
Yuan Long talked to his son for over ten minutes without seeing Yu Shanshan’s figure. He quickly ended the conversation with the little guy and said, “Dudu, give the phone to mommy and let daddy talk to mommy.”
Dudu gave an “oh” and handed the phone to Yu Shanshan on the other side of the bed. “Mommy, talk to daddy.”
Yu Shanshan quickly lay down, yawned, and closed her eyes, telling Dudu, “Mommy is sleepy and wants to go to sleep.”
Dudu looked at his mom with confusion. Seeing that she had really closed her eyes, he said “oh” and told Yuan Long on the video, “Daddy, mommy is already sleeping.”
Yuan Long had an intuition that something wasn’t right. Since when did she go to bed so early? Did something happen?
“Dudu, can you let mommy answer the phone?”
Dudu, feeling awkward, pinched his own chubby belly. “But daddy, mommy is already snoring.”
Yuan Long: ……
He didn’t believe she could fall asleep so quickly, and she doesn’t snore when she sleeps. This lie was just to fool the chubby son.
But she clearly didn’t want to take his call, and he couldn’t reach her now, so he reluctantly hung up the video call with a heavy heart.
After the call ended, Yu Shanshan opened her eyes with a swipe.
Dudu was stunned by his mom’s actions, blinking in confusion. “Mommy, weren’t you asleep?”
Yu Shanshan didn’t blink, “Oh, I just fell asleep, and now mommy is awake.”
Dudu didn’t understand the complexities of the adult world, let alone the complexities of women. Although he felt something was wrong, he couldn’t figure it out and just continued playing.
Yu Shanshan began to contemplate.
It’s impossible for her to act as if nothing happened. She’s just living her life, but she’s repeatedly being provoked by Yuan Ran. If she could ignore it, she”d be a saint.
But it’s also impossible for her to quarrel with Yuan Long like she did four years ago. She’s not the naive fool she was back then. The best way to handle it is to ask Yuan Long face to face and tell him that Yuan Ran is causing trouble for her, let Yuan Long deal with Yuan Ran.
But now Yuan Long is in the army, still undergoing a very important exercise. She can’t talk to him face to face, nor can she talk to him on the phone, lest she distracts him, and if he gets injured during the exercise, it won’t be good.
After thinking it over, Yu Shanshan decided to personally visit the army, both to report Yuan Ran’s actions to Yuan Long and to assert her dominance, making everyone back off automatically, especially Fu Mingyue, to crush her hopes!
The exercise on Yuan Long’s side ends in three days. Yu Shanshan decided to wait until the exercise officially ended before going there. By then, Yuan Long would also have time to deal with her, and she could have a good talk with him about this matter.
In the meantime, during these two days of waiting, Yu Shanshan wasn’t idle. She had something important to do, which was – buying clothes.
