Chapter 477 Fu Yunchuan questions Lu Mingzhu
After Gu Yihe left, Nanxing got up, took the peach shortbread to Feng Jiejie, and then opened it.
The aroma of peach shortbread filled the office instantly, making Nanxing want to try some.
"He said he's been doing this around this time for the past few days, it seems like it's true?" Nanxing asked Feng Jiejie.
Feng Jiejie nodded helplessly, "Yes, he comes over every afternoon these past few days, and he brings some things with him. No matter what I say, it's no use; he just won't budge."
"So how do you feel right now?" Actually, Nanxing wanted to ask what he meant and what he was thinking, but he felt it wasn't appropriate to ask, so he changed his approach.
Feng Jiejie casually picked up a peach shortbread, put it in her mouth, and took a bite. She knew what Nanxing meant.
"What feelings could he possibly have? He wouldn't listen to me anyway, so let him deliver it. I'm losing money anyway. If I don't respond to him for a while, he'll get tired of it and naturally distance himself from me."
"All these rich kids, born with a silver spoon in their mouths, are like this. They've been pampered and adored since they were little. Now that they've met someone who doesn't respect them, they inevitably have a desire to conquer, which is why they keep appearing in front of me so persistently."
"But such enthusiasm will eventually fade. If I ignore him for too long, he will get bored and naturally stop coming to me. As for the things he gives me, they are free, so I might as well take them."
Nanxing looked at her, and Feng Jiejie exclaimed "Oh dear!" and immediately picked up a peach shortbread and put it to Nanxing's mouth.
"Why don't you try this? It's free anyway, so why not take it? Besides, to be honest, the food that Gu Yihe brings is always really delicious."
Nanxing sipped her peach shortbread, then sighed as she looked at Feng Jiejie's obvious avoidance and self-deception.
She wasn't being nosy, but she and Jie Jie relied on each other, and Jie Jie only had her. She was really afraid that Jie Jie would get hurt.
Feng Jiejie looked at Nan Xing's eyes, smiled helplessly, and said,
"Just trust me, I won't fall for him, really! Trust me, okay? Right now I'm just waiting for him to get tired of me. Anyway, I've already scolded him and talked to him to make him leave, but he doesn't believe me and insists on coming back."
"What can I do? I can only wait for his patience to wear off. Anyway, he must find me, someone who doesn't obey him, very challenging, which is why he comes over so often. Once his patience wears off, he will naturally stay away from me."
Nanxing sighed again, "Okay, it's good that you've thought it through. Anyway, I'll still be here for you."
"Okay." Feng Jiejie gently rubbed her head against Nanxing's shoulder.
With Nanxing around, she never worried. Just thinking about Nanxing made her feel incredibly at ease.
It was already 6 p.m. when Lu Mingzhu left the hospital and arrived at Fu Yunchuan's office.
After this examination, she was actually quite tired, and her whole body looked exhausted.
Lu Mingzhu actually wondered if she hadn't been taking good care of herself lately, otherwise why would she be so exhausted after all this?
I seem to be getting tired easily lately, and I always feel weak and listless. It looks like I need to take some good care of myself.
She felt that the most important reason was that she was so angry about these things during this period, especially after she found out that Bu Gui was Nan Xing. She couldn't eat or sleep well, and her emotions were always tense. It would be strange if her body didn't have problems.
Standing at the door of Fu Yunchuan's office, Lu Mingzhu took a deep breath and composed herself.
"A-Kui, just wait for me at the door, you don't need to come in with me."
She knocked on the door, expecting to hear Fu Yunchuan come in, but Jiang Bai opened it instead.
She was taken aback when she saw Jiang Bai, and then she gave him a friendly smile.
"Jiang Bai, is that you? Did I disturb you and Brother Yun Chuan's work? Is someone inside?"
Her voice was gentle, and Jiang Bai wasn't one to show disrespect to others easily. He politely but businesslike stepped aside to let her in.
"No, the president is inside. Mr. Lu, please go in."
In truth, Lu Mingzhu didn't think much of it. She knew perfectly well that there was no one inside, but she still pretended to say such things.
If there were really people in the president's office, why would the secretary let Lu Mingzhu come over?
If Lu Mingzhu were still in the office, this secretary would have been fired by the Fu Group long ago.
Lu Mingzhu knew that no one was in Fu Yunchuan's office, but for the sake of her image, she still needed to ask politely, otherwise how could she appear magnanimous?
After Lu Mingzhu went in, Jiang Bai closed the door and prepared to attend to his own business. However, when he turned around, he saw A-Kui watching him from the side, her eyes still the same as before, which seemed a little strange.
Jiang Bai frowned in confusion, feeling that A-Kui's gaze was a bit strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.
Seeing that Ah Kui was standing to the side looking like she didn't dare to move, he pointed to the chairs next to her that were for guests.
"You can sit and wait here. Don't stand. Mr. Lu won't be out anytime soon."
Although he didn't know exactly what the president and Lu Mingzhu would say, he knew they wouldn't come out so soon.
A-Kui was stunned when she heard Jiang Bai's words, then she was overjoyed and her face turned bright red instantly.
Why is Jiang Bai so concerned about her? Could it be because he's noticed her too? Otherwise, why would he let her sit and wait for the young lady?
She glanced at Jiang Bai's departing figure and raised her hand to smooth a strand of hair behind her ear.
If only she could be with Jiang Bai. Given her status, being with Jiang Bai would be the best outcome, much better than marrying someone else.
Jiang Bai is an orphan and a senior executive at the Fu Group. The two wives of the Fu family are known for treating Jiang Bai very well. If she had married Jiang Bai, she wouldn't have to follow Lu Mingzhu around every day like a servant who is always at her beck and call.
Everyone has aspirations, but she didn't have many. Marrying Jiang Bai would be the best outcome, since she didn't know what Lu Mingzhu would ask her to do in the future.
She wasn't stupid; she knew that Lu Mingzhu wanted her to be with Jiang Bai just to use her, but so what? If she married Fu Yunchuan, it would be a win for her.
She sat down beside me, her upturned lips never fading.
Jiang Bai had no idea what kind of misunderstanding his actions had caused A-Kui. If he knew, he would probably be speechless with disbelief.
He was just being kind and polite by asking people to sit down and wait, so why was he interpreted like that?
After Lu Mingzhu entered the office, Fu Yunchuan was looking down at the documents, occasionally signing his name with a pen.
She subconsciously slowed her pace, not daring to disturb Fu Yunchuan, found a seat on the sofa, and stared intently at him.
Seeing Fu Yunchuan's serious expression, her heart beat even faster. She had to have Fu Yunchuan like this; if she couldn't have him, she wouldn't let anyone else have him!
She has been by Fu Yunchuan's side for so many years, there is absolutely no way she would give him up!
She didn't know how much time had passed, and Lu Mingzhu was even getting a little hungry. She wanted to look at restaurants online, wondering if she could ask Fu Yunchuan to accompany her to dinner later.
Although such an opportunity is unlikely, what if it happens?
While she was lost in her beautiful fantasy, Fu Yunchuan finally forgot about his work and looked up at her.
"You went to see Lin Ke?"
Fu Yunchuan's cold voice rang out in the office, and Lu Mingzhu suddenly looked up at him.
When she heard Fu Yunchuan mention Lin Ke, she panicked for a moment, but then calmed down. She didn't know how Fu Yunchuan knew about this, but the more anxious she was, the more likely she was to run into problems.
She quickly thought of a solution in her mind, and then slowly nodded under Fu Yunchuan's cold gaze.
"Yes, I couldn't find you after my check-up at the hospital that day, so I went to look for him instead. Is there anything wrong with that? Or did he say something to you?"
At this moment, she must be thinking about what Lin Ke said to Fu Yunchuan, or what Fu Yunchuan found out through someone else, otherwise how would she know?
So, Yun Chuan asked her to come and ask this question?
"What do you want with him?" Fu Yunchuan's voice was still very cold, and he couldn't say whether he was satisfied or not with Lu Mingzhu's direct admission.
Upon hearing Fu Yunchuan's question, Lu Mingzhu's eyes instantly looked aggrieved before she finally spoke with a wry smile.
"Why would I want to see him? Don't you know? You've already had people investigate me, haven't you even figured this out?"
Her words sounded like she was throwing a tantrum, and Fu Yunchuan's eyes flashed with anger.
He never expected that Lu Mingzhu would actually become like this, making her seem like a complete stranger to him.
Do you still feel wronged? Or do you think I'm investigating you?
Lu Mingzhu felt flustered when she saw Fu Yunchuan's reaction, but she still maintained a stubborn expression.
"Shouldn't I feel wronged? Didn't you investigate me? If you hadn't investigated, how would you have known I was seeing Lin Ke? Don't you trust me at all? You just promised yesterday that you would treat me better, like you used to."
"I know you don't like me anymore, you even think I'm a burden, or that I'm troublesome. I don't expect you to treat me the same way as before, after all, people change."
"It's normal that you've forgotten the promises you made when you were young. After all, my health has caused you a lot of trouble over the years. I can understand if you're tired of me. But is it really necessary for you to investigate me?"
She tilted her head back, as if trying to force back the tears that were welling up in her eyes.
Fu Yunchuan just stared at her. Lu Mingzhu's mention of her childhood and her physical condition still touched him somewhat.
He couldn't erase these things, but thinking of what Nanxing had said to him today, he instantly regained his composure.
“I never investigated you; someone told me.”
Lu Mingzhu thought to herself, "As expected, it must have been Lin Ke who said it."
I never expected that Lin Ke would be so despicable and shameless.
But why would Lin Ke take the initiative to talk to Fu Yunchuan about these things? Could it be that Nan Xing sent Lin Ke to say it?
The more Lu Mingzhu thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and a feeling of frustration welled up inside her.
That Nanxing is truly shameless! She's completely manipulating these men! And these men are willingly letting Nanxing use them, damn it!
"Someone told you? Who told you? Does the person who told you not like me? Or do they have a problem with me? Otherwise, why would they tell you these things? It's obvious they're trying to sow discord between us."
"Never mind who told me, what I want to know now is what you said to Lin Ke?"
"I didn't say anything, I just discussed it with him." Lu Mingzhu still had that "I just don't want to tell you" look on her face.
In fact, Lu Mingzhu had already guessed that Fu Yunchuan probably knew what she had said to Lin Ke, otherwise he wouldn't be asking her this now.
She still knows Fu Yunchuan very well after all these years.
Because she understood, she knew she couldn't say it so directly. Instead, she wanted Fu Yunchuan to know she was lying but still have to keep asking her, otherwise Fu Yunchuan would easily suspect her.
Fu Yunchuan was indeed just as she thought; he could tell at a glance that she was lying.
“You know me. If you tell me yourself, I might give you a chance. But if I really investigate, the result will be different.”
Lu Mingzhu's heart skipped a beat. Fu Yunchuan's gaze was too cold. Even though she had a get-out-of-jail-free card, she still couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Do you really insist that I tell you? Is it really impossible for me not to tell you?
Fu Yunchuan did not answer, but stared at her expressionlessly, his meaning quite clear.
"Okay, I understand. I'll talk, I'll talk, okay?"
Lu Mingzhu's eyes were red, and her face showed a heartbroken expression.
"You know, I wanted to go to the hospital that day, but Jiang Bai just wouldn't tell me where you were. I was not only physically uncomfortable, but also very upset."
"I know why you don't want to see me, and I know why you've started to grow colder towards me since last year. It's because of Bu Gui, that Nan Xing who has eyes similar to Nan Xing's, right?"
Lu Mingzhu really wanted to hear Fu Yunchuan's answer. She really wanted to know why Fu Yunchuan was hiding it from her and whether something had already happened.
But Fu Yunchuan kept looking at her with a cold gaze and had no intention of saying a word.
Lu Mingzhu lowered her head, tears falling onto the back of her hand, and continued speaking.
“I was so angry that I almost thought I should just die, but I wasn’t willing to give up, so I thought of Lin Ke in the hospital. I wanted to ask him if he could stop Bu Gui from having too much contact with you, because Bu Gui is his wife, so it’s normal for me to go to him and say these things, isn’t it?”
She looked up at Fu Yunchuan again.
She knew that Fu Yunchuan would probably believe her if she said these words, because she wasn't exactly lying; at most, she would only receive a warning from Fu Yunchuan.
"Really? Didn't you tell Lin Ke any gossip about Bu Gui? Like, that she's not only entangled with me but also with the three Yun brothers?"
Fu Yunchuan's voice was so cold that Lu Mingzhu felt a chill run down her spine.
What did Fu Yunchuan mean by these words? Was he trying to stand up for Nanxing? To attack her?
