Fu Sinian leaned on the bar counter with his head slightly raised, his eyes full of sadness, loneliness and pathos. After hearing Su Xiyu's words, he slowly twisted his lips into a bitter smile.

"Believe it or not, I hope that he can replace me." Ironically, Fu Sinian hated Fu Chen to the point of frenzy, but now he could only rely on Fu Chen to help him.

'If Fu Chen can take over my body, he will certainly get along with Zijin. He won't make her cry. What's more, I can't stand to see their affection for each other grow stronger day by day. I know clearly that her love for me is gone. It's the biggest punishment to me. But these days Fu Chen seems to have no desire to take over my body,' he thought.

Su Xiyu couldn't believe his ears. It seemed that Fu Sinian was no longer the man he used to be.

In Su Xiyu's impression, Fu Sinian was an extremely coldhearted man. He was cruel not only to his enemies, but also to himself.

When he was a child, he suffered a devastating blow. His family was ruined and most of its members were dead. But he never once thought of escaping from reality or giving up his revenge.

Even when he was abandoned in the orphanage and then was adopted by his enemy, he didn't show any sign of weakness.

To outsiders, he was a steel-willed, powerful man. However, he developed his secondary personality, Fu Chen, because of Xu Zijin. Now he even wanted to give up control of his body and hide behind Fu Chen's personality.

Su Xiyu looked at Fu Sinian with mixed feelings, and poured a glass of water for him. "Sinian, you really have to go to America for treatment."

If he went on like this, he would go insane sooner or later.

Fu Sinian took a mouthful of water and sighed, "It's too late."

It was really too late. If he could give up on Xu Zijin, things wouldn't have come to such a pass.

He picked up his coat, turned around and left the office.

When he walked out of the building, Fu Sinian met Mu Anan.

Mu Anan looked pale and drawn because she had a hard time recently.

At the sight of Fu Sinian, she felt like every fibre of her being was vibrating with excitement. She immediately rushed to him and said, "Sinian..."

"Get out of my way!" Fu Sinian looked sharply at her, with cold expression on his face. His eyes were like two icy knives, preparing to cut her to pieces.

Under his piercing gaze, Mu Anan stiffened. His eyes were burning with anger and hatred, which scared her. She clenched her fists and tried her best to calm herself down.

"Don't do this to me, Sinian. Please give me a chance to explain. I know you are angry with me because I had someone kidnap Xu Zijin. But I had no other choice.

I have waited for you for so many years. At long last, you have succeeded in taking revenge on the Xu family, and now we can be together. But Xu Zijin stands between us trying to destroy our relationship. I trust you, but I'm afraid that you will feel pity for her and then fall for her. Anyway, she's a scheming woman and good at conning others.

Sinian, don't forget that Xu Zijin is Xu Yuanshan's beloved daughter. She's one of the Xu family. Your father was forced by Xu Yuanshan to commit suicide. And he even set fire to the Fu's mansion and burned the rest of the Fu family. Your father, my mother, and the elders of the Fu family. They all died distressingly with everlasting regret. Sinian, even if you feel sorry for Xu Zijin, you can't be with her."

Fu Sinian cast a cold, disgusted look at Mu Anan.

"Thanks for reminding me. I almost forgot that you are Xu Yuanshan's daughter too."

Mu Anan's face turned pale all of a sudden. She looked up and met his cold, murderous eyes. Fear gripping her spine, as her body was frozen as if all the blood had stopped flowing.

She forced a smile with her lips trembling, and said, "Sinian, you must be kidding. I have nothing to do with the Xu family..."

"You are Xu Yuanshan's own flesh and blood. It's an immutable fact."

Mu Anan was shivering all over. Next chapter -> She’s Just A Substitute for Xu Zijin.
