Chapter 103 Lin Xuesha was at a disadvantage

If he works at Ling Su, Ji Shiheng usually eats business meals at a nearby hotel.

Business meals at upscale hotels lack ambiance, but they're perfectly fine for one person.

However, considering Jiang Ranxing, Ji Shiheng changed to a more relaxed and upscale restaurant with a softer ambiance.

Jiang Ranxing naturally had no objections; she was just waiting to go back and get to work after lunch.

Ji Shiheng parked the car in the parking lot, and the two walked several hundred meters through the business district to the restaurant.

However, while passing through a bustling commercial district, Jiang Ranxing spotted a familiar small figure in front of a luxury store.

The figure was Fu Xingyi. Fu Xingyi seemed to have just finished shopping at the store, and his bodyguard was following him with several bags in his hands.

Fu Xingyi also saw Jiang Ranxing, and he was quite surprised.

So Fu Xingyi ran over and stood in front of Jiang Ranxing.

Fu Xingyi blinked his big, watery eyes at Jiang Ranxing.

"Mom, are you out shopping too? What are you buying?"

Jiang Ranxing bent down, touched Fu Xingyi's hair, and said, "Mom didn't come to shop, she was just passing by."

"Oh, I see." Fu Xingyi looked puzzled, then noticed the man next to Jiang Ranxing. He had never seen this uncle before and did not recognize him.

Ji Shiheng noticed that the little guy was staring at him, and seemed to have found the answer in Jiang Ranxing.

Ji Shiheng squatted down, touched Fu Xingyi's nose, and gently flicked it twice.

“I’m your father’s friend, you can call me Uncle Ji.” Ji Shiheng looked at the fair-skinned little person in front of him, and seemed to be able to see Jiang Ranxing’s appearance in his eyebrows and eyes, which were watery and cute.

However, when Fu Xingyi looked up at Ji Shiheng, he could not find that face in his memory.

He doesn't see his father's friends very often either.

But he still obediently greeted him, "Hello, Uncle Ji."

Ji Shiheng chuckled twice: "Good girl, what's your name?"

Fu Xingyi replied, "My name is Fu Xingyi, Xing as in star and Yi as in shining brightly."

Ji Shiheng seemed to be savoring the name.

"It sounds a bit like your mother's name."

Ji Shiheng looked at Jiang Ranxing, who just smiled and didn't say anything.

She didn't choose the name herself; it was chosen by the Fu family patriarch. As for why he chose it that way, she never asked.

Fu Xingyi turned to look at Jiang Ranxing: "Then why is Mom with Dad's friend? Did Dad come too? I haven't seen Dad for days."

When Fu Shenyuan was mentioned, Jiang Ranxing's expression turned slightly cold.

Jiang Ranxing shook his head: "Dad isn't with Mom."

Fu Xingyi said he hadn't seen Fu Shenyuan for several days.

This was something Jiang Ranxing couldn't quite understand.

Fu Shenyuan would often not bring Fu Xingyi with him.

Logically speaking, if Lin Xuesha were still living in the villa, Fu Shenyuan wouldn't have abandoned her.

Does this mean Lin Xuesha no longer lives in the villa?

While Jiang Ranxing was lost in thought, Lin Xuesha appeared.

It turns out that Fu Xingyi and Lin Xuesha came out together, but Fu Xingyi came out of the luxury store first, while Lin Xuesha was still inside trying on clothes.

When Lin Xuesha saw Jiang Ranxing, her eyes flashed with a sharp light, showing her great disgust for him.

Then she saw Ji Shiheng next to Jiang Ranxing, and she immediately smiled.

"Shi Heng, what are you doing here, and with Ran Xing no less?"

Lin Xuesha didn't really understand how these two people ended up together.

Ji Shiheng didn't seem to mind and said casually, "We're going to eat."

Lin Xuesha nodded thoughtfully.

“It’s almost lunchtime,” Lin Xuesha blinked. “Why don’t we eat together? Yiyi and I haven’t eaten yet.”

Lin Xuesha started making plans in her mind.

She was curious to see how Jiang Ranxing and Ji Shiheng got together.

Jiang Ranxing felt helpless, but he couldn't very well offend his boss on his first day of work.

Ji Shiheng thought it didn't matter, so he nodded and said, "Let's go, it's just ahead."

Lin Xuesha smiled sweetly and told the bodyguard to take the things and wait in the car until they finished eating.

When Fu Xingyi heard that they were going to eat, his stomach rumbled twice.

After glancing at Jiang Ranxing, he still chose to reach out his small hand and hold Lin Xuesha's hand.

"Let's go, Aunt Xue Sha."

Lin Xuesha took Fu Xingyi's hand and led him away.

Jiang Ranxing simply watched silently from behind them, without saying a word.

Even Ji Shiheng noticed something was amiss, and he spoke directly: "Why is your son looking for Xue Sha instead of you?"

Jiang Ranxing raised an eyebrow, his tone indifferent: "It was his own choice."

Jiang Ranxing wouldn't be too moved by such things.

He respects Fu Xingyi's own choices, while also taking care of his own feelings.

She should just ignore what makes her upset or unhappy.

When you can truly stop using your heart and emotions, everything becomes much simpler.

Jiang Ranxing glanced at Ji Shiheng and said calmly, "Let's go too, President Ji."

Ji Shiheng glanced at Jiang Ranxing out of the corner of his eye for a moment before the two left together.

Inside the restaurant, the group was seated in a secluded and quiet spot, and Ji Shiheng ordered several of their signature dishes first.

After noting down everything, the waiter thoughtfully asked, "What would you ladies like? Our restaurant has beauty and health-enhancing soups to choose from."

The waiter picked up the heavy menu, ready to hand it over, but didn't know who to give it to.

Jiang Ranxing and Lin Xuesha were both sitting inside, making it easy for them to grab the menu.

Lin Xuesha felt that she was more qualified than Jiang Ranxing to take the initiative, so she prepared to reach out.

However, Ji Shiheng stopped them and took the menu.

Ji Shiheng placed the menu in front of Jiang Ranxing and casually flipped to the page with soup.

"Take a look, what would you like to drink?"

Ji Shiheng glanced around, then pointed to the menu and said to Jiang Ranxing, "This looks good."

Jiang Ranxing didn't look up, thinking that Ji Shiheng's recommendation should be acceptable, so he said to the waiter, "This one will do."

The waiter respectfully accepted the menu and then turned to go to the kitchen to prepare the food.

Ji Shiheng then noticed Lin Xuesha's expression, which was slightly unpleasant.

Ji Shiheng casually said, "Sorry, I forgot about you. Why don't you order another one?"

Lin Xuesha clenched her fists under the table, but still managed to force a smile.

"No need, I can't eat much, I don't have a big appetite."

Ji Shiheng didn't say anything more and stopped paying attention to Lin Xuesha, as he didn't care about such things anyway.

Jiang Ranxing didn't care either; she was just thinking about how to carry out the work.

Lin Xuesha sat there alone, her heart filled with resentment.

Ji Shiheng is not Fu Shenyuan; he won't always put her first.

She was spoiled by Fu Shenyuan, so she felt that everyone should put her first.

If Fu Shenyuan were here, he would definitely make her happy and comfortable. How could she be so overshadowed by Jiang Ranxing?

Lin Xuesha was very angry, so she turned to Fu Xingyi and said some caring words to him, deliberately putting on an act for Jiang Ranxing.

Fu Xingyi thought that Lin Xuesha really liked him, so he and Lin Xuesha talked even more intimately.

Jiang Ranxing merely glanced up briefly before looking away.

Seeing Jiang Ranxing's attitude, Lin Xuesha felt she couldn't find any point to attack him.

Then she thought of Fu Shenyuan.

Whenever Fu Shenyuan is mentioned, Jiang Ranxing can't take it anymore; she breaks down and goes crazy.

Lin Xuesha took out her phone and dialed Fu Shenyuan's number: "Shenyuan, it's me."

Fu Shenyuan answered and asked her a few questions.

Lin Xuesha said sweetly into the phone, "I took Yiyi out shopping today. You know, Shen Yuan, I also ran into Shi Heng and Ran Xing. They came out together."

Lin Xuesha smiled sarcastically: "They seem to know each other quite well."

Jiang Ranxing wasn't oblivious to Lin Xuesha's sarcastic tone.

But she has no obligation to defend herself, so it doesn't matter.

Lin Xuesha smiled at Jiang Ranxing, then said into the phone, "Shen Yuan, are you coming to pick us up? Sure, Yiyi and I are waiting for you here."

Lin Xuesha hung up the phone and stared at Jiang Ranxing.

When Fu Shenyuan arrives, she will definitely get her revenge in some roundabout way.
