Falling in Love With My Arranged-Marriage Husband-Chapter 42 - 23: She Saw Malevolence in Him
Chapter 42: Chapter 23: She Saw Malevolence in Him
Half an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of the Fu Family villa.
Ye Lin and Fu Jue were still waiting at the entrance, but this time, their faces were as somber as Fu Yisi’s.
Ji Sang followed behind Fu Yisi, her mood growing heavy. She cautiously approached and voluntarily looped her arm through Ye Lin’s arm, softly calling out,
“Mom”

“Ah, you’ve arrived”
Their voices were hoarse and trembling.
Ji Sang’s eyelashes flinched slightly, and when she lifted her eyes to Fu Jue standing beside her, she noticed that even the always amiable and kind-hearted man had red bloodshot eyes.
“Dad”
Ji Sang’s voice trembled too.
She didn’t know exactly what was going on, but she could feel their sorrow.
After entering the house, the two men headed upstairs to the study, while Ji Sang was pulled by Ye Lin to sit on the sofa.
Her mother-in-law, usually very proactive and kind, sat down today and remained silent, simply holding her hand and gently patting it.
Ji Sang didn’t know what to say, and could only sit there silently beside her.
It was unclear how much time had passed when Ye Lin finally spoke softly,
“Xiao Si, this child, has been quiet since he was little, disliked being touched by others, and even seemed reluctant when his mom and dad hugged him, but whenever his aunt hugged him, he would settle down quietly. His aunt, being the only daughter of the Fu Family, was pampered from a young age, yet she liked to experience all kinds of life, rejecting the noble schools arranged by her family, and she was unusually resilient, almost like a tomboy.”
“I was two years older than her, and I would often hear about her exploits at school, like taking the school’s athletes to fight against hoodlums who bullied girls from our school. As a girl, she managed to intimidate those hooligans away.”
“She was like the little overlord of the school, admired by many boys and girls, she didn’t cause trouble, and she did righteous deeds, so the school turned a blind eye. I remember once, to help a stranger, she chased a robber on her own and got stabbed. That time, the Fu Family was very angry, but no one at home could control her, so Xiao Si’s dad asked me to talk some sense into her.”
Smiling at a funny memory, Ye Lin’s face finally relaxed a bit,
“Ah Shang, do you know what she said then? She said she couldn’t stand such scum and that she wanted to become a police officer to serve the people. I asked her why, and she said, there’s too much filth and darkness in this world. At that time, the Fu Family was unstable, and she personally experienced the evil of those who would do anything for money and power. She was kidnapped to threaten Xiao Si’s grandfather, but she was smart, managed to outwit the kidnappers and escaped. Later, when Xiao Si’s grandfather gained power and stability ensued, her ideas did not change; she was still determined to become a police officer.”
“But, as you know, in such a family, it would be impossible to allow their child to take up such a dangerous job. The family pulled strings, getting the public security school to reject her, and she, ever stubborn, surprisingly didn’t protest. Just when everyone thought she had given up on becoming a police officer, she directly enrolled in a journalism school, saying, if she couldn’t be a police officer, she would become a journalist, using her camera to expose those ugly truths.”
“She really became an excellent, very accomplished journalist, winning many international awards. But her family grew increasingly worried as each story she pursued was very dangerous, making numerous enemies.”
“The Fu Family in S city had great influence, and could secretly sort out some issues for her, but it was still unsafe; Xiao Si’s dad repeatedly urged her not to continue working in that field, to come back, settle down, and take a proper role as the lady of the Fu Family and a wealthy wife, but she refused.”
“That time, she and Xiao Si’s dad argued fiercely; in a fit of anger, she moved out of the Fu Family home and didn’t return for a long time; our only way to know about her was through Xiao Si. She only agreed to report her whereabouts to Xiao Si. Normally, with her character, she wouldn’t let us know where she was, but later we learned she was about to do something dangerous, she worried we wouldn’t be able to find her.”
Ye Lin suddenly choked up, tears flooding like fountains, causing a sharp pain in Ji Sang’s heart; quickly, Ji Sang reached for tissues to wipe her tears, but Ye Lin’s hands suddenly started trembling.
