I married a petty hooligan in place of my sister, living a life of poverty. Who knew that my husband would suddenly transform into a mysteriously powerful and influential tycoon?
Jiang Can co...
Fu Xiuyu licked her lips, picked up her coffee cup, and took a big gulp.
Only by covering her face with a coffee cup can she hide her less-than-stellar acting skills.
Just then, a Siamese cat ran over, meowing and rubbing against Yoon Moon-hee's leg.
Yin Wenxi was taken aback, then smiled, picked it up, placed it on the seat, and gently stroked it.
Fu Xiuyu put down her cup and remembered that two days ago, Yin Ruohong had come to her in a hurry, saying that he insisted on meeting Yin Wenxi and asking her for a favor.
She was completely stunned, deeply suspecting that Yin Ruohong had given the wrong injection or given the wrong medicine. Should she beg her?
This man has always been proud and has never humbled himself before anyone!
Fu Xiuyu assumed he still harbored feelings for Yin Wenxi, so she stared at him coldly for a long time before letting out a soft snort and saying, "At least you have some conscience!"
"So, you're willing to help?"
"Alright." Fu Xiuyu thought for a moment, "I'm having afternoon tea with Wenxi the day after tomorrow. I'll send you the store's location, and you can come too."
"Okay." Yin Ruohong nodded.
Fu Xiuyu watched his retreating figure, her opinion of him just beginning to change, when the man turned back and said something that really annoyed her:
"Ha, I'll reunite with them, protect my daughter first, and then settle accounts with your little bastard!"
"you……"
Fu Xiuyu was about to spit out a mouthful of blood.
She was unwilling to help when she was in a bad mood, and was prepared to leave Yin Ruohong hanging.
But as if it were destined, on the same day, Yoon Moon-hee had a minor accident.
She was changing a light bulb at home alone when she accidentally tripped and fell off the stool, twisting her ankle.
Fortunately, the injury was not serious.
However, this made Fu Xiuyu suddenly realize that Yin Wenxi really needed someone to take care of her.
Now that they're all old, even if they're in good physical condition, they can't compare to young people.
On the day Yin Wenxi fell, fortunately she was able to struggle to her feet and call for emergency help, which allowed her to receive timely treatment. Moreover, Jiang Canyi rushed back immediately after receiving the call and devoted herself to taking care of and accompanying her, which helped her recover relatively quickly.
What about next time? What if she can't get up? What if Jiang Can is away on a business trip?
After much thought, Yin Ruohong was the best choice... After all, they were childhood sweethearts and had two children together. More importantly, Yin Ruohong still couldn't forget Yin Wenxi.
Although I still can't stand this seemingly refined scoundrel, I'll just treat it as hiring a male nanny for Yoon Moon-hee!
Fu Xiuyu sighed, but ultimately arranged the meeting anyway.
"Xiuyu, what's wrong?" Yin Wenxi looked at her, puzzled. "What are you lost in thought about?"
Fu Xiuyu calmed herself down and subconsciously looked back.
She knew that Yin Ruohong was hiding in that small room.
They had a secret code; if Fu Xiuyu told him not to use it, he couldn't use it.
“Wenxi,” Fu Xiuyu smiled, “do you still remember the cat we used to have?”
"Of course I remember!" Yin Wenxi held the Siamese kitten in her arms. "Look, it looks about the same size as this! And when I brought it home, it was about this size..."
"But the school wouldn't allow us to keep them!"
“Yes,” Yin Wenxi said calmly, “Ruohong raised them for us back then.”
Fu Xiuyu was stunned.
Yin Wenxi, who was stroking the cat, suddenly stopped, looked up at her, and gave a faint smile.
"What, are you surprised that I mentioned that person?"
"I..." Fu Xiuyu didn't know how to answer for a moment.
“I did hate him. At the moment of the family tragedy, I hated him to the core.” Yin Wenxi’s voice was low and calm, as if she were telling someone else’s story. “But later I stopped hating him. I know why he wanted revenge… If it were me, I wouldn’t be any more noble than him.”
“Wenxi…”
"It's alright, it's all in the past." Yin Wenxi smiled.
"Is it really over?" Fu Xiuyu's eyes welled up with tears. "But what was it all for when you were mentally unstable, depressed, and almost committed suicide all those years?"
She was saying these words to Yin Ruohong, knowing that even though the door was closed, Yin Ruohong inside the small house could hear her.
She wanted to make him feel guilty so that he would treat Yoon Moon-hee better in the future.
After a long pause, Yin Wenxi sighed softly, "At that time, it was just... a moment of despair."
Fu Xiuyu held her hand tightly.
At that time, she was bullied by Jiang Mingyuan, but no one from the Yin family would stand up for her anymore.
When she was bullied, the man who had vowed to protect her for life disappeared.
Like a parachute that won't open at 10,000 meters altitude, it's left to fall and shatter into pieces.
Her upbringing taught her that it's better to be a broken jade than a whole tile, which is why she lived in a daze for so many years, and even once truly believed that Jiang Can was Jiang Mingyuan's daughter.
"It's okay, you don't need to be sad for me!" Yin Wenxi squeezed her hand tighter. "Isn't it great now? I've met you again, we can be together again, and we've even become in-laws, isn't that wonderful..."
"Yes, that's why Yin Ruohong became my father-in-law. The person I've disliked for half my life is now going to be right under my nose!"
Yin Wenxi smiled and patted her twice.
Fu Xiuyu felt the time was right. Since she had let go of her resentment, she wouldn't react too strongly even if she saw Yin Ruohong again.
The small house was just diagonally behind her.
So she got up casually, pretended to look at the scenery and wandered around, stomping her feet twice when she got to the hut.
This was a pre-arranged code between her and Yin Ruohong: two counts meant they could come out, three counts meant they couldn't.
Fu Xiuyu was a little nervous, but there was no movement from the small house for a long time.
She was taken aback. Could it be that Yin Ruohong had misremembered? But how could he possibly misremember something so important!
Then she tentatively stomped her feet twice, and cursed inwardly: Idiot, open the door!
After waiting for a while, it was still the same as before.
Fu Xiuyu's temper flared up; was this guy playing her for a fool?
Just then, the waiter came to refill her coffee. Seeing Fu Xiuyu staring intently at the door, he asked in confusion, "Ms. Fu, what do you want to do?"
"Oh...heh, it's nothing!" Fu Xiuyu chuckled dryly. "Just looking around!"
"That's our storage room," the waiter explained. "It's stuffy and there's nothing to see inside."
"Warehouse?"
"Yes! There are no windows inside, so it's not well ventilated... Coffee beans are best stored in airtight containers, so this room is essentially a large, sealed jar!"
Fu Xiuyu's eyes widened upon hearing this!
No way? If a person gets into a sealed container, wouldn't that mean...?
Thinking of this, her heart tightened. Ignoring everything else, she shouted loudly to the waiter, "Open the door quickly! There's someone inside, hurry!"
