Chapter 33 The culprit who poisoned the victim has been found.

Inside the cultivation box is a uniquely shaped plant seedling with leaves that display a rare pale purple color.

"Did he really find it?"

"Very good!"

She held the object as if it were some rare treasure, her voice trembling with excitement.

Fu Beichen felt uneasy watching this scene.

He had been married to Gu Xingnian for three years and had never seen her so lively and cheerful.

The complete trust and reliance she showed in the professor stung his eyes.

He then looked to the other side.

Lu Lie naturally picked up a large shrimp, carefully peeled off the shell, and then put it into the bowl in front of Gu Xingnian.

Gu Xingnian didn't even look at who it was before picking it up and eating it. Her movements were smooth and natural, as if she had already gotten used to it.

Lu Lie picked up the serving chopsticks again and put some of her favorite dishes on her plate.

Every now and then, he would refill her empty juice glass.

Every movement exudes familiarity and intimacy.

Fu Beichen felt as if a ball of fire was burning in his chest, causing pain to his internal organs.

That was his wife.

Why should other men be able to show her concern and take care of her so meticulously?

He picked up his wine glass, turned to Lu Lie, and raised his voice deliberately.

"Mr. Lu is so considerate. He's so thoughtful and attentive to other people's wives."

The moment the words were spoken, the atmosphere at the table froze.

Everyone stopped moving.

Lu Lie's hand holding the juice glass froze in mid-air. He looked at Fu Beichen with a cold gaze.

Gu Xingnian seemed not to hear, and continued to study the plant sample the professor had given her.

She picked up a piece of paper and began writing and drawing on it, completely absorbed in the task.

Sitting next to Lu Lie, Cheng Xinyao couldn't stand it any longer. She picked up a full glass of red wine, stood up, and smiled at Fu Beichen.

"Mr. Fu, I saw the news yesterday."

"I heard that you and Actress Jiang are getting married soon, and have you officially announced it?"

Congratulations!

"I'm a big fan of actress Jiang Yinghou. I especially love watching her movies. Her acting skills are superb, and she's a very insightful person. Her tea ceremony is particularly exquisite and sophisticated."

These words, while ostensibly congratulating her, were actually a blatant jab at Jiang Kexin, with the comment "her tea skills are superb" being a direct slap in the face.

Fu Beichen's expression turned even uglier.

Cheng Xinyao ignored him and drank the red wine in her glass in one gulp.

"I'll take it, Mr. Fu, please feel free to do as you please."

Another young man, Feng Jun, Lu Lie's junior brother, naturally didn't want to be left behind, and also came over with a wine glass in hand.

"Mr. Fu, this is our second meeting. I am Lu Jun."

"Let me toast you. Our Lu family has recently developed a new type of eye drop. After my senior sister used it, her eyes really became much brighter. If you don't mind, Mr. Fu, I'll also send you a portion."

"You're a special guest today, so please don't be shy and eat more."

The implication is that if your senior sister hadn't been blind, she wouldn't have been able to marry you back then.

Fu Beichen suppressed his anger, picked up his wine glass, clinked it with his, and drank it down decisively.

"polite."

His voice was cold and hard.

Throughout the entire luncheon, Gu Xingnian did not glance at Fu Beichen even once.

She didn't say a single word to him.

All her attention was focused on the professor and the plant sample, occasionally responding to Lu Lie with a few words.

Fu Beichen sat there, completely ignored, like an outsider.

This made him angrier than any argument, and there was also a hint of inexplicable panic.

He drank one glass of wine after another in silence.

Finally, Gu Xingnian got up, seemingly to go to the restroom. She didn't like being in the private room, so she decided to go for a walk outside.

Fu Beichen immediately put down his wine glass and stood up as well.

His steps were a little unsteady, and he was feeling the effects of the alcohol, but he was still relatively clear-headed.

The corridor was dimly lit.

Fu Beichen caught up with Gu Xingnian in a few steps and grabbed her wrist.

Her wrists were slender and slightly cool.

Gu Xingnian struggled for a moment, but couldn't break free.

She frowned, turned around, and looked at him.

"Fu Beichen, what are you doing?"

Fu Beichen stared at her, his breath reeking of alcohol and anger as he sprayed it onto her face.

"Stay away from Lu Lie from now on, he's not a good person."

Gu Xingnian chuckled as if she had heard a joke.

Whether he's a good person or not, what does it have to do with you?

"What friends I make is none of Mr. Fu's business."

"Don't forget what you promised me." Fu Beichen tightened his fingers, almost crushing her wrist bones.

Gu Xingnian's face paled as she recalled what she had said to him that night.

[Mr. Fu, don't worry, I won't be with anyone. I guarantee I'll grow old alone and die alone. Are you satisfied?]

The more resolute we were then, the more ironic it seems now.

She looked at Fu Beichen and suddenly smiled, a smile that was somewhat cold and indifferent.

"I did say I wouldn't marry him."

"But that doesn't stop me from dating him, or..."

She paused deliberately, leaned close to Fu Beichen's ear, and spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"Let's do something else... something more interesting. Does Mr. Fu even need to interfere with this?"

Fu Beichen's body stiffened abruptly, an uncontrollable surge of anger rising to his head.

He was furious. "Gu Xingnian, how dare you?"

Gu Xingnian fiddled with her hair, looking at his slightly drunken, cold eyes, "President Fu, you've had too much to drink. Why don't you wash your face and sober up?"

Just then, his cell phone rang at an inopportune moment.

The shrill ringing of the bell was particularly jarring in the quiet corridor.

Fu Beichen took out his phone, and the screen displayed the three words "Jiang Kexin".

He took a deep breath, suppressed his turbulent emotions, and answered the phone.

Jiang Kexin's voice, trembling with tears and panic, came from the other end of the phone.

"Brother Beichen, come quick... I've been bullied..."

Fu Beichen frowned.

Where are you? I'm coming to you now!

Gu Xingnian turned coldly and walked into the women's restroom. Fu Beichen suppressed his anger and returned to the private room to say goodbye to the professor.

When she returned to the private room, Fu Beichen had already gone to rescue her.

But his departure actually made her feel much more at ease.

After the meal, Lu Lie picked up the professor and took him back to Lu's Corporation. At the same time, they discussed the new opportunities and highlights of this global medical summit.

At 6:30 p.m., Gu Xingnian walked out of the Lu Group. She was now Lu Lie's special technical advisor.

Anyway, she didn't have much to do during this time, so she stayed there to help him.

By the time the global medical summit concludes, her divorce proceedings with Fu Beichen should be finalized.

She went to Country F to return to her Qingniao Technology.

Haicheng, perhaps, she will never come back.

She returned to her apartment, took a shower, cooked herself a bowl of clear soup noodles, and then sat at the dining table, eating her noodles while looking at some documents.

The hustle and bustle outside seemed to have nothing to do with her.

Suddenly, another trending topic popped up on my phone.

Fu Beichen's fury for the sake of a beauty

She glanced at it briefly, probably because two big stars, Jiang Kexin and Ma Xiaoxiao, were vying for the lead role in the TV series "Pear Blossom Tomb".

Jiang Kexin's performance was not as good as Ma Xiaoxiao's, and the two got into an argument.

So she started calling for help.

In order to highlight her prestigious status as Mr. Fu's girlfriend, she used her power to pressure the film and television company.

How shameless!

Jiang Kexin was about to win, but the author disagreed and insisted on letting the online vote determine who would be chosen as the female lead.

Jiang Kexin released a statement in a fierce manner, announcing that she will hold a fan press conference tomorrow and plans to call on her millions of fans to garner votes for her!

Gu Xingnian couldn't be bothered with this mess.

She continued eating her noodles when suddenly her phone received a document.

She zoomed in on the picture, examining it closely, and the chopsticks slipped from her hand...

She forwarded the picture to Sheng Weiwei, then quickly changed her clothes and went out.

The culprit who drugged her child has been found; the murderer who dared to harm her child.

She won't let any of them go...
