Hearing this, Qiao man turned her head to look at the man in the main seat.
The lights on the ceiling of the meeting room shone with a deep white light. It shone on the man’s tall and slender body, making his figure seem even more profound and charming.
He was wearing a dark black suit with an exquisitely ironed tie. His entire body exuded a strong sense of abstinence.
Coupled with his handsome but serious face, it made people involuntarily feel a desire to pounce on him.
It had to be said that Ji Yunshen was the most beautiful man in a suit she had ever seen.
“I’m not going either. ” Qiao Man’s fingers ran through the long black hair at the side of her cheeks and pushed it aside. Her movements were extremely lazy “The wedding is in a few days. I plan to keep a low profile at the end. Otherwise, in the future, I’ll be labeled as either Mrs. Ji or a down-and-out socialite who has married into a super rich family. How boring. ”
Lin Yan looked at her and the corners of her lips were like a spring breeze. “Lady Qiao is really not just any pretentious person! ”
Qiao man still had the same lazy expression on her face. She smiled and said, “it’s not the first time you’ve met me! ”
“Then be careful when you go back. ” Lin Yan packed up her things and patted Qiao Man’s shoulder. “Don’t worry, I’ll try my best to help you get back what you lost! ”
“Good for you. Is Fu Qingshan too poor to support you, or what? ”
“Don’t you know that the Lin family is richer than the Fu family? ” Lin Yan stood up, her seaweed-like wavy hair curling beautifully. “My monthly allowance is seven figures. Do you think he can support me with the salary of a mere teacher? ”
Everyone in Lin city knew how much Fu Qingshan hated her.
It was not just because she was an arrogant and pampered heiress, but also because of the methods she had used to woo people over the years.
It was said that Lin Yan, a socialite, was like a spring rain in Lin city that everyone yearned for.
However, no one knew what kind of snake-like heart was underneath her sweet and lovely appearance.
Young Master Fu had once used two idioms to describe her, pestering and lingering.
However, it seemed that it had changed now. It was some kind of trickery and scheming.
He was probably unwilling to let Qiao man marry him after he had slept with her wrongly.
Qiao man raised her head. Her delicate and fair face was filled with disdain. “You look down on him so much, yet you still want to marry him. Are you looking for trouble? Or do you believe that true love is the most important thing? Or are you unable to live without him? ”
“You should go and ask him why he still wants to marry me. Oh, no, you should go and ask him if it’s because marrying me is beneficial without any harm. After hearing about the marriage between the Fu and Lin families, the shares of the Fu Corporation suddenly rose by 30% , not to mention the resources and business opportunities that come from the shadows! ”
Lin Yan blinked at her innocently. “So, to be precise, I’m marrying him. Don’t get me wrong. ”
“Okay. ” Qiao man nodded and smiled brightly. “The next time I see Fu, I’ll find out the reason why he married you. I don’t want outsiders to think that he can’t even afford a wife, and that’s hurtful. ”
“whatever. ”
Lin Yan adjusted the waves on her shoulders, looking like a fairy. “But the premise is that he’s willing to talk to you about me! ”
With that, she walked away in her ten-centimeter high heels, leaving Qiao Man, who was shaking her head and laughing.
Yes, Fu Qingshan hated Lin Yan, and he hated everyone around her, including himself.
How could he possibly listen to her talk about this?
…
When she walked out of the temporary rented office of the Production Team, she realized that it was raining heavily outside. She did not bring an umbrella, so she took off her coat and put it over her head. Then, she hurried to the side of the road, ready to take a taxi.
In August, Lin city already had the feeling of autumn, especially after the rain, it was cold.
Just as he ran to the roadside, an extremely displeased male voice sounded, “are you trying to torture yourself with a cold and then torture me? ”
Along with his voice came the suit jacket that carried his body temperature.
“Did you not know that you were going to the dinner party, or did you think that I didn’t see you? ”
“there are too many people, so I don’t want to go. ” Qiao man put her fair little hand on her abdomen, looking wronged. “The baby doesn’t seem to want to go either. ”
“Look at your pretentious attitude. If the child does as you wish, when she finds her partner in the future, she will be despised to death. ”
“TAKE THE UMBRELLA! ”
The man handed the black umbrella in his hand to her, then bent down to pick her up. “I’ve called you so many times, why didn’t you pick up? ”
“I muted it during the meeting just now. I put it in my bag, but I didn’t hear it. ”
The man’s cold gaze fell on her exquisite and impeccable facial features, and his half-smile tone was full of mockery. “I thought Mrs. Ji would say it, but she didn’t want to pick up your call, so she muted it! ”
“Mr. Ji, you are really wronging me. I admit that I’m pretentious, but I don’t seem to be that pretentious. ”
The man raised his beautiful eyebrows and called her by her name in the same tone as before. “Qiao Man. ”
“Yes! ”
“Why didn’t you pick up my call? ”
“I just explained it! Why are you still asking? ”
The man’s legs were long, and he walked to the parking lot in a few strides “It feels like the closer we are to the wedding, the more anxious and uneasy you will be. I’ve decided to give you a grand wedding and let you stand by my side with the most legitimate identity in the world. How big of a name are you? You’re always giving me the cold shoulder, and recently, it’s been getting more and more intense. ”
For the past half a month, she still had nightmares. The lingering fear in her bones was like a strong poison that would flare up from time to time.
Because she was pregnant, she could not continue to take antidepressants. Every day, she drank tonic medicine.
But she had never forgotten about the knife attack on him that night.
“Ji Yunshen, aren’t you afraid? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll wake up one night and accidentally kill you? ”
The man did not seem to hear her, and his Adam’s apple bobbed. “The keys are in your pants pocket. Take them out and open the car door. ”
Her pair of pink arms gently held his neck. Seeing that he did not answer, she shook him hard. “Ji Yunshen, you still haven’t answered my question? ”
He glanced at her. Under the orange light of the high-pole street lamp, layers of shadows fell on his exquisite eyebrows.
He said, “If you don’t answer, won’t you open the door? ”
As if she did not hear him, she continued, “why didn’t you take me for a mental check-up? If I really had the same illness as my mother, would you have sent me to the insane asylum like my father? ”
“Why do you ask so many questions all day long? ”
The man sighed softly, as if he was helpless, but also as if he had some other emotion, and she couldn’t tell.
“Why didn’t you answer my question? Do you not know the answer, or are you too disdainful to give me an answer? ”
“Feng Liang, open the car door, I’ll answer your question. ”
Hearing this, Qiao man reached out her small hand into his pocket, took out the remote control, unlocked the central control lock, and opened the car door. The next second, she was placed on the passenger seat.
She looked up at him. He had dropped the black umbrella just now. Now, he was standing in the rain. His dark hair was wet from the rain, adding to his unruly sexiness.
“answer my question. ”
The man bowed his head. His long hand grabbed the girl’s sharp chin. His voice was deep and Hoarse, almost blending with the sound of the wind in the endless night.
He said, “man man, no matter what you become, I will always be by your side. ”
She knew that he might only be saying sweet words to coax her, but in this second, she could not stop her tears from flowing down her face.
“Ji Yunshen, even if you lie to me, I will still be happy. Don’t worry, if my illness becomes serious, I will definitely not drag you down. You have the right to choose a better life for the rest of your life. I will not live like my mother. I will not be so pathetic. I will not be a woman who lives on the strength of her husband. ”
After saying that, she endured the pain and pulled her chin out of his hand. Just as she sat up straight, she was pulled over by a strong force. The next second, the man came with a rain kiss.
He turned and gnawed at her, not letting go of any part of her mouth.
After a very, very long time, so long that she thought it had been a century, he finally let go of her. “Man man, stop being so pretentious. I’m not a patient person. ”
No matter what happened in the future, as long as he was sincere at this moment, it was enough.
It was really enough.
She said, “thank you, Ji Yunshen. ”
…
A minute later, the smoke-gray Bentley started. The wheels splashed the water on the road, creating a spray of water.
Through the misty window, she looked out at the lights and the heavy traffic outside.
She felt that this city was really beautiful, so beautiful that she never wanted to leave.
The two of them did not return to the JI residence. Instead, they returned to the Blue Mountain Villa. When they entered, the British clock on the wall showed that it was already ten o’clock in the evening.
Ji Yunshen was caught in the rain. The weather was cold, and she was afraid that he would catch a cold. When she entered, she urged him, “hurry up and take a hot shower. I’ll cook ginger soup for you. ”
“There’s no need. You go upstairs and rest. I’ll cook it myself after the shower. ”
Qiao Man’s pregnancy symptoms had been getting worse and worse these past few days. She often felt dizzy and nauseous, so when she heard what he said, she did not insist. “Then can you cook something for me as well? I haven’t eaten dinner. I’m so hungry. ”
“I know. Otherwise, why would I cook Ginger Soup? ”
The implication was that if he did not know that she had not eaten dinner, he would not have gone downstairs to cook ginger soup at all.
Qiao man averted her gaze and then walked back to her room.
It was still early at ten o’clock. She took out her tablet and continued to watch the drama. The love offensive was about to end, and the plot was a little torturous. As she watched, her eyes turned red.
Ji Yunshen came out of the bathroom and saw that she was holding a tablet and watching the drama. She looked like she was about to cry, so he walked over and pulled the tablet out of her hand.
“How old are you? How can you cry watching a drama? Hurry up and close your eyes to rest. I’m going to Cook Supper now. ”
As he said that, he was about to walk out of the room.
Qiao man looked at his back and muttered softly, “I’ve been sitting or lying down all day, or sleeping. The only hobby I have left is watching the drama, and you’ve ruthlessly taken it away from me. If this continues, my brain and limbs might degenerate along with it! ”
Qiao man frowned and continued to complain “Go and look at other girls. How could they get married at the age of 23? Even if they did, they wouldn’t give birth to a child at such a young age. Compared to them, my life is like a history of blood and tears. It’s unspeakable. ”
“Alright, alright, alright. Then what do you want to do? ”
The man turned around and walked over to sit beside her. His long and slender hands were holding onto a white towel as he gently wiped his wet hair. “Tell me. I want to hear it. ”
Qiao man pursed her lips and moved closer to him. “Didn’t you say that you wanted to groom me to be an investor? Legend of the beauties is a perfect opportunity for me to train. What do you think? ”
The man nodded elegantly. The emotions in his dark eyes were hard to discern. “Yes, that’s a good idea. However, Legend of the beauties isn’t invested by me alone. It’s not up to me to decide! ”
“How is that possible? ” Qiao man obviously did not believe his words. The look in her eyes became even more sorrowful. “It’s not like you can’t afford to invest yourself. ”
“Yeah, it has nothing to do with money. ”
In this kind of matter, he simply could not be bothered to lie. If he said that he was not the only one who invested in this movie, then he definitely was not the only one who invested in it.
“Then tell me, who is your co-investor? ”
“Will you give up after telling me? ”
Qiao Man’s back lazily leaned against the headboard of the bed, and she looked at him with a warm and cold gaze. “Anyway, I won’t give up until you tell me! ”
“It’s young master Fu. He also plans to enter the film and Television Industry, so we tried going into the water together! ”
Everyone knew that the Fu family was a red family. They had no business experience from their ancestors. They all entered the army after graduating from military school.
There were no exceptions when it came to Fu Qingshan.
Other than the second young master of the Fu family, Fu Yihuai.
“The FU family was founded by Fu Yihuai. It’s impossible for Fu Qingshan to touch it. He’s just a little division commander. How much money can he have? ”
The man raised his eyes, which was rare, and looked over indifferently with a hint of mockery. “Who told you that, Lin Yan? ”
“Isn’t it? ” Qiao man avoided his gaze with some guilt, and her voice was as clear as water “Yan ‘Er’s monthly allowance alone is seven figures. Do you think that the salary of a division commander can support her? “putting these aside, even if he used all his assets to invest in some film and Television Project, shouldn’t you be the one in charge of the whole process He is a soldier who obeys the rules. How could he have so much time Ji Yunshen, do you think I’m an idiot?”
“He has already applied for a career change. He can be discharged from the army by next month at the latest. Didn’t Lin Yan tell you? ”
Lin Yan didn’t say. There were only two possibilities. One was that Fu Qingshan hadn’t told her, and the other possibility was that Fu Qingshan had told her, but she didn’t believe him, so she didn’t tell her.
“The money you lent him? ”
Only this explanation could make her believe that Fu Qingshan had really invested in this project.
“Put away your imagination. Even I can’t estimate old FU’s true wealth. What kind of look do you and Lin Yan have in your eyes that you think he needs to rely on borrowing money to invest! ”
After Ji Yunshen said that, he stood up and prepared to go downstairs to Cook Supper for her.
Just as he stood up, Qiao man tugged at the Hem of his casual pajamas. “then if I manage to convince young master Fu, will you be able to let me be in charge of the whole process? ”
“Yes, if you can convince him. ”
“okay, it’s a deal. ”
…
Ji Yunshen opened the door and walked out. Qiao man picked up the phone and dialed Lin Yan’s number. After two beeps, Lin Yan’s slightly drunk voice could be heard.
“Man Man. ”
Qiao Man’s hand that was holding the phone was so hard that it turned white. She frowned and asked nervously, “Yan ‘er, where are you? Why did you drink so much wine? ”
“It’s a gathering. When young master JI carried you away, we were standing about twenty meters behind you. Didn’t you see? ”
Qiao man was thinking about Ji Yunshen’s answer at that time and almost ignored everything beside her.
“Why did you drink so much? ” Qiao man hurriedly lifted the quilt and got off the bed. She put on her slippers and walked out of the room. “where is the place? I’LL PICK YOU UP! ”
“No need. My dear young master Fu said that he will pick me up. You don’t have to worry. ”
These days, she clearly felt that Yan ‘er had changed, but she couldn’t tell where.
“Give me a call when you get home, don’t make me worry. ”
“okay, I got it. ”
After hanging up the phone, Qiao man looked troubled. It was not only because of what Ji Yunshen had said just now, but also because of Yan ‘Er’s change.
Perhaps, it was not the person she wanted in her heart. Even if she got an enviable marriage, it could not hide the deep-rooted coldness and embarrassment.
…
Ji Yunshen cooked a bowl of scallion flower noodles for Qiao Man. Just as he scooped it out, he heard light footsteps approaching from afar.
Seeing that it was her, a faint smile appeared on his exquisite face, but it was not obvious. At least, Qiao Man, who was a little absent-minded, did not notice it.
“The noodles are ready. Come and eat. ”
He brought the bowl to the dining table and brought her chopsticks and a spoon. She took it, picked up a few noodles, blew on them, and put them into her mouth. The taste was very good. At least, it was much better than the things she made that looked like dark cuisine.
“Ji Yunshen. ”
While eating the noodles, she looked up at him and called his name.
He nodded and Qiao Man said calmly, “does Fu Qingshan have a lot of secrets? For example, his real wealth, for example… His love for Ji Han. ”
“What are you trying to say? ”
“I… ” Qiao man put another mouthful of noodles into her mouth. After thinking for a few seconds, she continued, “if, I say if, Ji Han found out about the real wealth of Fu Qingshan that you mentioned, would she kick Gu Xichen away and go to Fu Qingshan? ”
Under his sharp gaze, she lowered her head slightly “after all, everyone knows that Gu Xichen is a big brother in the underworld who has no future. As for young master Fu, he comes from an illustrious family and is a talented man. He married Lin Yan, who everyone knows he hates. If one day she finds out that he has a lot of money, then… ”
“Then what? ”
“then… it’s very likely that he will attract the pure and innocent heart of little Princess Ji Han! ”
Ji Yunshen frowned slightly. His deep black eyes were filled with emotions that could not be seen clearly. “Old Fu is married. Did you lose your memory, or did you not know? ”
“You can get a divorce even if you get married! ”
She spread her hands and looked innocent and helpless. “Of course, the above is purely my idle speculation. There is no hostility or malice. ”
The man opposite her smiled, but that smile did not reach his eyes at all. He said, “Qiao Man, let me emphasize again. She is just a 20-year-old girl. She doesn’t know anything. ”
