Chapter 523: Enemy with the Whole World
Lu Ye had just helped rescue her, so Qiao Yunxue didn't refuse him. "I'll drive over in twenty minutes."
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the same cafe and order you a piece of cake." Lu Ye said with a smile, "I guess you're not full."
Qiao Yunxue smiled self-deprecatingly, "Give me some mocha Baileys mille-feuille."
Lu Ye: "It's not appropriate to drink and drive."
Qiao Yunxue: "Don't you still have me? Hang up, wait for me."
…
A little after two o'clock, Qiao Yunxue came to the coffee shop and met Lu Ye.
As soon as she sat down, Lu Ye asked the waiter to bring up the Baileys Mille-feuille.
Qiao Yunxue picked up the fork, cut off a piece of crepe and put it in her mouth, then took a few sips of the raw coconut latte.
Lu Ye looked at her and asked, "Is his family picking on you again?"
Qiao Yunxue shook her head, "Not really."
Lu Ye: "So where are you now?"
Qiao Yunxue: "It seems his father still doesn't want to see me and him together."
Her voice was a little aggrieved. "He said we were both too young, but I always felt that he just didn't think much of me and thought I wasn't worthy of Fu Shanzhan."
Lu Ye: "Then he should take good care of his son. I still think Fu Shanzhan is not worthy of you."
To be honest, Lu Ye didn't like Fu Shanzhan that much either.
He and Qiao Yunxue were childhood sweethearts. They were neighbors when they were young, and later he was her father's student. Lu Ye was three years older than Qiao Yunxue, and both sets of parents had jokingly arranged a marriage for them.
If Fu Shanzhan hadn't appeared, he would have been the one marrying Qiao Yunxue in a few years.
But Qiao Yunxue liked him, and they got married after dating for less than a year, despite the opposition of the whole world. When they made this decision, not only the Fu family disagreed, but the Qiao family also disagreed.
Almost no one is optimistic.
But this made them both more determined, and gave them the courage to fight against the world. When they were united against the outside world, their feelings for each other heated up rapidly.
In the end, even the powerful Fu family couldn't persuade them and finally agreed to let them get married.
They also had a grand wedding.
It's only been two months since the wedding and Qiao Yunxue is already feeling depressed. This is not a good sign.
"How is he not worthy of me? He is the person who loves me the most in the world." Qiao Yunxue was a little unhappy when she heard Lu Ye say bad things about Fu Shanzhan.
Lu Ye waved his hand, admitted defeat, and quickly stopped questioning.
It was useless for him to dislike Fu Shanzhan, as he could not resist the fact that Qiao Yunxue loved him very much and could not stand anyone saying a word bad about Fu Shanzhan. Not to mention him, even if her parents questioned Fu Shanzhan, she would get angry.
"Eat the cake. You'll feel better after eating something sweet." Lu Ye could only comfort her with such insignificant words.
Qiao Yunxue took another bite of cake, but her mood did not improve. Fu Qingyun's words were still floating in her mind.
"Lu Ye, I don't understand." She raised her head. "His father specifically told me today not to have children for the time being."
Lu Ye: "Did he say that?"
"Yeah, isn't it strange?" Qiao Yunxue said, "When other people get married, their elders always urge them to have children, but not only does he not urge us, he also doesn't allow us to have children."
Lu Ye: "Did he tell me the reason?"
Qiao Yunxue: "It's the same thing. You're too young to take on the responsibility of being a parent."
Lu Ye: "He has a point. His father is old and thinks differently from young people."
"Besides, you just got married. Wouldn't it be nice to spend a few years just being the two of you?" Lu Ye also thought it was good that they didn't have children, but he couldn't show it too obviously.
Qiao Yunxue pursed her lips and said nothing.
Lu Ye: "Don't think about these things, I'll take you to relax."
He picked up his phone and said, "There's a shooting range nearby. Haven't you played in a while?"
Qiao Yunxue's eyes lit up, "Great, let's go."
Qiao Yunxue likes shooting very much. She signed up for this interest class when she was a child. This hobby has continued into adulthood. She basically plays a few games every week.
I was busy preparing for the wedding in the past two months and haven't played for a long time. I'm really itching to play.
Qiao Yunxue and Lu Ye came to the shooting range, got their equipment, and threw their bags, cell phones, and keys into the lockers.
Qiao Yunxue was in a playful mood and had completely forgotten what she had promised Fu Shanzhan before she woke up in the morning.
——
At half past three, Fu Shanzhan followed Fu Congjian out of the conference room and asked him impatiently, "Brother, can I get off work now?" Fu Congjian: "Is there something urgent?"
Fu Shanzhan: "I want to go on a date with my wife, she is waiting for me."
Fu Congjian laughed helplessly when he heard this, "You keep talking about your wife all the time. It would be great if you could devote some of your energy to your work."
Fu Shanzhan: "Why are you so much like dad?"
He waved his hand and said, "As long as you and my second brother are there for me, I'll be fine as long as I don't starve to death."
Fu Congjian: "Dad is also thinking about you. Girls like men who are ambitious and motivated."
Fu Shanzhan: "My wife is not like that. She likes me no matter what I am like."
"I'm off work, bye~" Fu Shanzhan left impatiently without saying a few words.
Fu Congjian looked at his back, which seemed to be about to fly, shook his head, and said to himself: "What a young man."
At the age of twenty-one, she is full of energy and vitality. Even when she is in love, she is full of energy. This is indeed something that a middle-aged man like him cannot understand.
No, he hadn't been like this since he was twenty-one.
No wonder Fu Qingyun is so worried - Fu Shanzhan is a little too naive. People always grow up. He is twenty-one years old now and has no ambition. Qiao Yunxue can accept it, but what about in five or ten years?
When two people are together, it is impossible for them to always be in the honeymoon period.
——
Fu Shanzhan returned to his workstation and called Qiao Yunxue while packing up his things.
The first time, no one answered.
Usually she was careless and didn't answer the phone, but Fu Shanzhan didn't think much about it and called a few more times.
But after the tenth call, no one answered.
Fu Shanzhan had a bad feeling and called his aunt at home: "Where's Xuexue?"
"Oh, the young mistress went out early this morning," said the aunt, "she went back to the old house to eat."
Old house?
Fu Shanzhan's expression darkened. He knew that Fu Qingyun had some complaints about Qiao Yunxue, and he would definitely not be able to say anything good when they met alone.
Fu Shanzhan immediately called Ji Qingyuan: "Mom, is my wife at the old house now? What did my dad say about her?"
Ji Qingyuan was a little confused by Fu Shanzhan's barrage of questions, "Xiaoxue left after lunch. It seems like a friend wanted to see her about something."
Fu Shanzhan: "My dad didn't say anything to her?"
Ji Qingyuan: "With me here, what dares he say?"
"Don't worry, maybe he was shopping with friends and didn't look at his phone." Ji Qingyuan comforted him.
Fu Shanzhan: "Impossible, she said she would wait for my call to pick me up."
Ji Qingyuan: "Maybe something happened and I forgot."
Fu Shanzhan: "How could my wife forget me? I am the one she loves the most!"
Ji Qingyuan: “…”
Fu Shanzhan: "No more talking, I'll continue calling her."
Fu Shanzhan hung up Ji Qingyuan's call and continued to call Qiao Yunxue.
I called five or six more times, but still no one answered.
"Why haven't you left yet?" Fu Shanzhan was walking in the corridor when he ran into Fu Congjian who was about to leave. "Where are you going? I'll ask the driver to take you there."
Fu Shanzhan: "Brother, please help me find out where my wife is now. I can't contact her."
