I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 144

Shi Wei had coincidentally gone to the restroom when Shi Nuan went, so the former watched everything unfold before her eyes. Shi Wei was upset to see that Fu Xicheng still missed Shi Nuan. The woman was fuming and prepared to charge towards them, but someone grabbed her arm.

Shi Wei swiftly turned to look at the culprit and was surprised to see that it was Anna. “Why are you holding me back?”

Anna dragged her to a corner. It was obvious that Anna had reapplied her makeup, but the scar on her face was still barely visible, so Shi Wei was scared. The fear on Shi Wei’s face did not escape Anna, so the latter scoffed at her quietly. She said, “What can you do if you go up to him right now?”

Anna checked their surroundings surreptitiously. When she saw that Fu Chengyan had left, she exited the restroom, dragging Shi Wei behind her. “Today’s your wedding. If you make a scene now, everyone is going to laugh at you. You literally just got married! So, if you create a ruckus about this, it’s going to embarrass the Fu family.”

Shi Wei calmed down after listening to Anna’s analysis. She then looked at Anna dubiously.

While Anna’s reasoning made sense, it was unlike her to think so far ahead which was why Shi Wei had qualms about her advice. Anna’s heart skipped a beat when she saw how Shi Wei was looking at her, but she smirked and said, “Your next line is ‘When did you become so smart?’“

“When did you…” What? Shi Wei felt as if she had been seen through, but she shook her head and vehemently denied, “No, I don’t mean that, Anna. Don’t take this the wrong way.”

“Alright, we’re friends, so I won’t blame you for this. I used to be a stupid woman, so I got set up by that evil woman, Shi Nuan. I learned to be more alert then on.”

Anna then sized Shi Wei up, and when she saw the latter letting her guard down, she sneered internally before assuring Shi Wei, “We’ll take this up with her eventually. Now, your mission is to lock Fu Xicheng down, have him wrapped around your finger. If you guys get married, there’s no need to fear Shi Nuan.”

“Yes, you’re right. I wasn’t thinking straight.” Shi Wei was furious earlier, but she had sobered up from Anna’s words. “Let’s go, Anna.”

“Okay.” They left with their arms linked together, but all Anna could think of was that Fu Chengyan did seem related to Shi Nuan somehow. No wonder my brother asked me not to cross Shi Nuan. I don’t want to cross her if Fu Chengyan has her back.

Anna shuddered. She didn’t want to go through that night a second time. Her brother had told her that Fu Chengyan had promised to help the An Group from now on, so he asked her to lay low and not make any rash moves.

“What’s wrong?” Shi Wei felt that something was off with Anna as her face was drained of color. “Are you feeling unwell?”

“It’s nothing,” Anna said, “The wedding hasn’t begun yet, so you should go to the waiting room. I’ll go to the hall and watch Fu Xicheng for you.”

“Sure!”

Anna left Shi in the waiting room. The moment Anna was out of her sight, Shi Wei quickly made a phone call to Jiang Yu, “Mom.”

“What happened? Why did you call me? I’m busy as heck outside there. Just stay here if you have nothing to say, or just call your friends over.” When Jiang Yu walked in and saw Shi Wei reclining on the sofa, the woman felt frustrated.

Shi Wei quickly stood up once Jiang Yu made her appearance. “I can’t wait any longer, mom. I won’t be at peace as long as that bi*ch, Shi Nuan isn’t married.” She forced her next words through gritted teeth, “Mom, didn’t you promise to help me?”

“Why the rush? When have I ever gone back on my promises?” Jiang Yu said. “Did something happen?”

“I…” Shi Wei angrily recounted what she saw at the restroom, but she omitted the fact that Fu Chengyan had been there too. Jiang Yu’s eyes gleamed after hearing that, and she clenched her fists. “How dare that little b*tch do this? Looks like I have to chase her out!”

“I think so too, mom. Xicheng will always think about her as long as she remains single. Do you know what he said just now? He said if she agreed to it, he would cancel his wedding with me and marry her instead. They obviously don’t care about me, you, or the Shi family at all.”

“Alright, I’ll settle this as soon as possible. Just get ready for now. Nobody can ruin your marriage.” She would never allow Shi Nuan to ruin her beloved daughter’s marriage.

Jiang Yu pulled out her phone and dialed a number the moment she left the waiting room. “Hey, Yunwan, is he here? He is? That’s great to hear! We did say that they would make a cute couple. It’s lucky we’ve decided that they’re going to marry each other when they grow up. Oh, okay, I’ll be waiting then.”
