Chapter 22 Scheming and Spoiled Stepsister VS Cold Childhood Sweetheart Brother 22

"Brother Xunzhou, are you still angry with me?" she asked, looking up at him with tears in her eyes.

"You don't like me anymore, do you?" Jiang Zhiyi asked.

However, he still did not respond.

"Get away from me! I don't want you! You bastard, you disgusting man, get away from me!" she began to cry loudly.

for a long time.

"Can't you hear me? Are you deaf?" Jiang Zhiyi hugged his waist, her voice soft but full of grievance.

Fu Xunzhou sighed: "Be good?"

His chin rested on the top of her head, his voice full of helplessness, his gaze unfocused.

Jiang Zhiyi pursed her lips, and after a while, she continued to act coquettishly: "I like you so much."

"You lied to me again?"

"I only have you."

He held her tightly in his arms, his grip so strong it felt like he was trying to shove her into his body.

She obediently let him hold her without making any further moves.

Silence fell over the room once more.

"Brother Xunzhou, will you ever fall in love with someone else? Please, you'll always love me, okay?"

Fu Xunzhou stroked her hair, stared into her eyes, and said, "Are you really afraid that I'll change my mind? You don't seem to care."

"I've realized that sometimes I just can't understand you at all. Don't play with my feelings, Zhizhi."

"Did you do these things on purpose?" he asked again.

Jiang Zhiyi was startled and lowered her eyes, not daring to meet his gaze. "I really like you."

The male protagonist seems to be acting a little strange.

"But Uncle Fu and Mom won't let us be together. We'll be separated sooner or later, or we'll be stuck in the shadows forever like this."

Jiang Zhiyi deliberately brought up this matter. She knew that this was something the male lead had always felt guilty about towards her.

"So what do you think?" he asked.

Jiang Zhiyi put her arms around his neck without saying a word. After a while, she said, "After you get married, we'll separate."

"As compensation, you must give me a larger breakup fee. Preferably shares, cash, and a house."

"You can also send me abroad, and we'll never see each other again and leave each other alone."

As the man listened to her earnest answer, he tightened his grip, his face darkening considerably.

"What's wrong? Are you reluctant to give it to me? You clearly have so much money. You can't be so stingy. Besides, I don't need much."

Jiang Zhiyi provoked him.

"I would never be a third party. Or, after I get married, you can be the third party, Xunzhou. I might consider that."

She has a pretty good idea.

“I will handle it,” Fu Xunzhou said.

"Yes, I believe you. I don't really want to be separated from you at all." Another soft, sweet love confession.

"You're the one who provoked me, Zhizhi. Since you promised to keep lying to me, you'd better keep your word."

"Don't play dumb with me. If you do something like that again, I won't let you off the hook."

Fu Xunzhou warned her, word by word.

"I understand, I'll be good from now on..."

The Fu family's old residence.

"Impossible!" Fu Chengzhao shouted angrily, smashing the teacup on the table.

Ceramic shards flew everywhere, and scalding hot tea soaked the expensive carpet on the floor.

The two figures in the study stood motionless, father and son staring at each other.

"I'm just here to inform you of this. Whether you agree or not, I will not change my decision."

After a long silence, Fu Xunzhou finally spoke.

"Besides, haven't you and Aunt Jiang never registered your marriage all these years? Strictly speaking, she's just a long-term guest of the Fu family."

"I love Zhizhi, and I will marry her. No matter what it takes, I will be with her, and no one can stop me."

"Nonsense! Don't even think about it, it'll never be possible between you two!"

Fu Chengzhao reprimanded him again, his face extremely unpleasant.

He could never agree to this; it's utterly absurd!

If word gets out, what will become of the Fu family's reputation? The Jiang family will surely feel the same way.

Fu Xunzhou didn't say anything more, turned around and left the study.

Just as I reached the corner of the stairs, I ran into Jiang Yao, who was carrying fruit and preparing to go upstairs.

"Xunzhou, you finished talking with your father so quickly? Why don't you stay for lunch? I've already told the kitchen..."

"No need, Aunt Jiang, I have something to do and I have to go now," Fu Xunzhou interrupted her directly.

"Alright. Xunzhou, you go ahead and get busy. Take care of your health while you're working. Bring your sister back with you next time you have time."

younger sister……

Fu Xunzhou paused, then nodded.

"Okay, sure."

Watching his retreating figure, a hint of hesitation and worry flashed in Jiang Yao's eyes.

In fact, she was right at the door of the study and heard the father and son's conversation clearly.

Unexpectedly, Zhizhi and he had always had this kind of relationship. But was it Zhizhi's own choice or was he forcing her?

Jiang Yao pursed her lips tightly. She thought that no matter what the situation was between the two of them, Fu Chengzhao would definitely not agree to them being together.

Fu Xunzhou is his own son, so he certainly won't do anything to his son. In the end, it's very likely that Zhizhi will be the one who gets hurt.
