I Want a Lifetime with You
Chapter 175

Anna shouted at Shi Wei as she was furious and she didn't want to hear Shi Wei's explanation. Shi Wei was shocked at Anna's outburst and color drained from her face. "Anna, please hear me out. I don't know anything about this. I have only heard about it too. I don't know how... "

"You don't know? Shi Wei, why are you treating me like this? Anna and I are always looking out for you but you left us in the lurch when we needed you the most. And now, you have even circulated those videos and photos? Shi Wei, how can we ever trust you again!" Su Su yelled at Shi Wei after she snatched over the phone.

Her emotions were once again triggered by this news in the morning. "Is this how you treat me?" Su Su pressed on as she had been driven to the brink of insanity, .

"Su Su, listen to me. It's not me. I've never imagined that things would turn out this way. It's all Shi Nuan's fault. It's all because of that b*tch! It should have been her instead of you yesterday."

"Shi Wei, that's enough!" When Su Su noticed that Shi Wei was still trying to shirk responsibility, she felt even more disappointed with her. "Those paparazzi were all hired by you but you're telling me it's Shi Nuan's fault? Do you think that make sense? This is a personal feud between you and Shi Nuan. Why did you get Anna and I involved? Shi Wei, listen up, if you don't settle this matter properly. I will expose everything! I'll tell everyone that you were plotting against Shi Nuan."

Su Su was already at her wit's end and was no longer able to think clearly. Her only thought was to make Shi Wei pay back for her suffering.

She was entirely devoted to their friendship but not only did Shi Wei not help her, she even added another big blow. A woman's virginity was so important and yet she was ruined by Qin Yue and Lin Chenghao just like that. To make things worse, most of the party's guests last night were from the rich and upper class. Now that things had blown up, Su Su's family would be implicated too.

Su Su was shaking uncontrollably. She slammed the phone on the floor and hugged Anna sobbing out loud. "Anna, what's going to happen to me? What should I do? I feel cheated and unjust! Why did this not happen to Shi Wei instead? It should have been her!"

"Su Su, don't cry." Anna was affected by Su Su's grief and started crying as well. She was emotionally tormented by both her hatred towards Shi Wei and guilt towards Su Su. "You still have me, I'll always be on your side!"

After a long time, Anna finally managed to calm Su Su down. Not knowing what to do next, she decided to seek advice from An Chenyu. She stepped away from Su Su while speaking to her brother over the phone.

Around half an hour later, the reporters and paparazzi who were camping outside the hotel dispersed. It was then that An Chenyu arrived to fetch Anna and Su Su.

Anna was overwhelmed with relief when she saw An Chenyu. She threw herself in his arms at once and exclaimed, "Brother, it's so good to see you!"

An Chenyu patted Anna's shoulders to comfort her before checking, "Where's your friend?"

"She's inside. She has just calmed down. Brother, regarding this matter... "Just as Anna was about to explain the situation to her brother, the door suddenly opened. Su Su was standing there with her eyes swollen from crying, gripping tightly on the door handle.

Su Su lifted her head to look at Anna. When she saw the man standing next to Anna, she was stunned for moment before slamming the door shut.

Anna immediately said, "Su Su, there's nothing to be afraid of. This is my brother, An Chenyu. You've met him before, remember?" Anna continued pounding on the door, saying, "Su Su, don't be scared, my brother is here to pick us up. He said that the paparazzi outside had already left. Don't worry, no one would see us."

The door was opened again after a while and Su Su stuck her head out. She sized An Chenyu up before opening the door fully. She looked at An Chenyu cautiously while she greeted him, "Chenyu." Her voice was hoarse and she looked extremely haggard.

An Chenyu took a glance as Su Su and nodded. His eyes darkened as he said, "Don't worry, the people outside are gone now. I parked my car at the back door. No one would spot us when we go out later." Su Su felt a little more relieved after An Chenyu's reassurance. "Thanks, Chenyu!"

"Don't stand on ceremony, you're Anna's friend," An Chenyu replied while removing his jacket. He passed it to Anna and said, "Anna, put this on for Ms. Su, we're leaving now. I have sent some of my men to lure the reporters away but I can't guarantee that they won't realize it's a trap and return here!"

"OK. Su Su, we should leave this place immediately. Quickly put on my brother's jacket!"

The three of them exited from the back door of the hotel. Even after they got into the car, Su Su was still paranoid and kept looking behind. She was worried that there would be people following them. Anna felt even more guilty when she saw how terrified Su Su was. She put her arms around Su Su's shoulders and said, "Su Su, shall I ask my brother to send you home first?"

"No! I don't want to go home. Anna, can I stay at your place? My parents will surely kill me if I go home now. They will definitely do that!" Su Su shook her head anxiously. The thought of having to face her parents frightened her. "I don't dare to go home!"

"Brother... "Anna looked at An Chenyu, feeling conflicted. An Chenyu creased his brows slightly as he thought of an idea. "Since Ms. Su doesn't want to go back, why don't she stay at my place instead for the time being?" An Chenyu owned a villa at the suburbs which he did not usually visit. He would only go there sometimes for short getaways when he was feeling down. It was a quiet and peaceful environment. There was only a helper who would go and clean the place twice a week.

After hearing his suggestion, Anna took another look at An Chenyu before nodding her head. "Sounds good," Anna agreed and turned towards Su Su, encouraging her. "Su Su, you can't hide from this forever. We can definitely replace a way out. Just rest at my brother's villa for the next few days. As for your parents... you'll still have to face them sooner or later!"

"I understand. Thank you, Anna!" Su Su hugged Anna tightly. Hard times would always reveal true friends. She knew that Anna was the only one who truly treated her well. "Anna, if you ever need my help, I wil always be there for you too!"

An Chenyu and Anna left after sending Su Su to the villa as An Chenyu had some other matters to attend to. When they were alone in the car, An Chengyu said to his sister, "This is an accident, Anna, it has got nothing to do with you."

"Brother!" Anna cried out, as her eyes reddened. "No, this happened all because of me. I was entirely focused on Shi Nuan's safety and totally forgot about Yun Shen... Yes! It's Yun Shen! I could never imagine that he would treat Su Su that way!"

An Chenyu's eyes darkened and he patted Anna's hand. "Even if you had kept an eye on Su Su, whatever that was meant to happen would happen eventually. This was not something you could have prevented single handedly." An Chenyu shook his head and continued, "Steer away from people like Shi Wei in the future. She is capable of doing anything. It was you the last time. Now, it's Su Su. Who knows it might be you again next time." An Chenyu never like Shi Wei anyway.

She even plotted against her own sister. Even if the victim last night was not Su Su, it would have been someone else. Shi Wei was one who would not hesitate to use unscrupulous means to achieve her goals. She even dared to offend a character like Yun Shen.

"I know." After last night, Anna was even more certain of Shi Wei's true colors. "Oh, brother, regarding Fu Chengyan... " Anna stared out of the window and noticed that something didn't seem right. "Brother, that's not the way home!"

"Yup!" An Chenyu nodded and said, "I'm taking you to see Fu Chengyan now!"

"We're meeting him now?" Anna couldn't help but quiver. "Brother, can I not go?" She was scared of Fu Chengyan.

Ever since she found out that Shi Nuan's husband was Fu Chengyan, she had even started being scared of Shi Nuan. She had personally seen Fu Chengyan's ruthlessness. The one thing that was scarier tha death was a living hell and that was exactly what the man had made her go through.

"Don't worry, he won't do anything to you since you have saved Shi Nuan." "But..."

"Trust me. We might even need his help for Su Su. I'm sure you don't wish to see Su Su hiding in the villa for the rest of her life!" An Chenyu saw the look of hesitation on Anna's face and said, "Just listen to me."

An Chenyu brought Anna to Prosperous Dynasty. Anna had been to this place previously, which was the beginning of her nightmare. As such, the woman had been feeling nervous since the moment she stepped out of the car. "Don't be scared!" An Chenyu said, as he held on to his sister's hand to give her reassurance and support.

Zhou Zheng led An Chenyu and Anna to the private room, which was exclusively reserved for Fu Chengyan. Fu Chengyan and Su Shaoqing were in the middle of a poker game when the siblings arrived. Fu Chengyan's eyebrows raised when he saw them.

Su Shaoqing threw his cards on the table as he said, "Look, who's here!"

An Chenyu did not know Su Shaoqing, but there weren't many in Jiang City who could sit at the same table as Fu Chengyan and still look so calm and composed. After looking at Su Shaoqing, it only took a moment before it became clear to him who the man next to Fu Chengyan was. "Master Chengyan, Master Shaoqing."

"Master Shaoqing?"

Anna looked at Su Shaoqing with a shocked expression on her face. She pointed at him and said, "Aren't you..."

Su Shaoqing arched his eyebrow. "Does Ms. Anna know me?"

Anna shook her head immediately and replied, "No, I don't!"

Su Shaoqing curled his lips and drummed his fingers on the table. "Chengyan, why don't you say something since they are already here?"

Fu Chengyan tossed his cards on the table and lifted his head up. He took a glance at An Chenyu and Anna then said, "Mr. An and Ms. Anna, please take a seat!"

"Thank you, Master Chengyan!" An Chenyu replied as he sat down. An Chenyu continued after making sure that Anna had sat down as well, "Why is Master Chengyan looking for my sister?"

"It's about last night," Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes as he said, "Ms. Anna, you did well!" Then, he carried on slowly, "May and I owe you one."

"Please don't say that!" Anna was flattered. Fidgeting her hands she said, "Mr. Fu, I'm sorry about the way I treated Shi Nuan... I mean Mrs. Fu previously. I'll make sure it doesn't happen again. Please take last night as me making it up to Mrs. Fu."

Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes again before smiling with a nod. "Since I already said that I owe you one, I intend to fulfill it." Fu Chengyan always kept his words. Upon hearing what the man said, An Chenyu swiftly told his sister, "Anna, you should thank Mr. Fu!"

"Oh! Thank you, Mr. Fu!" Anna knew that it would not be wise to reject Fu Chengyan as it would meant not showing him respect. "If that's the case, Mr. Fu, can I ask you for a favor?"

"Tell me what it is, Ms. Anna!" Fu Chengyan extended his arms, indicating his willingness to listen.

Anna hesitated for a moment but she continued with An Chenyu's encouragement, "My friend... that friend of mine is called Su Su, she... Can you please help her?"
