A cool and classical beauty, a fallen socialite, against an untamed and roguish Hong Kong scion. Five years after their breakup, Gu Xiangsi never expected to encounter her first love again upon ret...
Chapter 49 Who would dare to marry such a violent girl in the future?
"Mr. Fu, if you don't like me wearing this, I can change it."
As soon as Gu Xianglian saw Fu Sinian's face, especially at such a close distance, her heart felt like it was about to explode. She instantly turned back into a shy little girl, lowering her head slightly.
Fu Sinian ignored her and walked straight to Gu Xiangsi. He looked down at her for a while, then half-knelt down and reached out to lift her chin.
"What? A little hedgehog covered in thorns can also be defeated by others?"
Gu Dong smelled something unusual and asked Fu Sinian, "Does Mr. Fu know Xiang Si?"
The people around them also started talking, and Gu Xianglian and the women around her also had incredible expressions.
Gu Xianglian was even more furious. How could it be possible? How could someone of Gu Xiangsi's status be worthy of knowing the Crown Prince of Hong Kong City?
"Miss Gu, do we know each other?"
Fu Sinian asked back, with a hint of meaning in his peach blossom eyes.
As long as she asked him for help, this would be nothing.
Gu Xiangsi blinked, tears of grievance welling up in her eyes as she looked at him hesitantly.
"Boss Fu, I...I'm an assistant recruited by Special Assistant Li to join the Si Nian Group."
She just refused to admit that she knew him.
Fu Sinian narrowed his eyes and snorted in his heart.
That’s great.
Is it so difficult to say that we know each other?
"It turns out he's just a little assistant!"
The curly-haired girl pouted and muttered something, her tone full of contempt.
Fu Sinian paused, slowly turned his eyes to the side, and his gaze swept across her face like a knife.
"My...group's people are naturally mine."
His voice was low, and every word was as cold as ice. "Why, do you have any objections?"
The woman was frightened by his gaze and hurriedly shrank behind Gu Xianglian, not daring to say another word.
Fu Sinian sneered and raised his chin towards Li Xiaoyao.
"Go check who she belongs to."
Li Xiaoyao nodded, and before turning to leave, he glanced meaningfully at the curly-haired girl, his eyes seeming to say, "You're done."
Lu Liang stepped forward and exclaimed, "Miss Gu, your hand..."
Fu Sinian lowered his eyes to Gu Xiangsi's hand.
The edge of the palm was worn, with a few traces of blood seeping out, and the knuckles were slightly red. It was obvious that the slap just now was extremely fierce.
His eyes suddenly darkened, and he reached out to hold her wrist, gently rubbing the edge of her wound with his fingertips.
"pain?"
Gu Xiangsi subconsciously wanted to pull her hand back, but he held it even tighter.
"It's okay, just a minor injury..."
Before she could finish her words, Fu Sinian leaned over, put one hand through her legs, and picked her up sideways.
"Fu Sinian!" she exclaimed, subconsciously grabbing the front of his shirt.
He lowered his eyes to glance at her, a dangerous curve at the corner of his lips.
"Are you panicking now? Weren't you quite fierce when you hit him just now?"
Seeing this, Gu Dong hurried forward and said, "Boss Fu, this... isn't appropriate?"
Fu Sinian didn't even turn his head, his voice was cold.
"My assistant, is it Mr. Gu's turn to worry about him?"
He strode out with her in his arms, adding, "Who would dare to marry a girl this violent?"
His arms tightened even more.
Jiang Liangchen coughed lightly and looked at Gu Dong with a serious look: "Mr. Gu, your daughter is really too fierce. Girls should be gentler..."
Lu Liang slowly took Gu Xiangsi's bag from the curly-haired girl, looked her up and down, and sneered:
"Tsk, ugly and mean."
“…”
Fu Sinian carried Gu Xiangsi into the lounge of the banquet hall.
Li Xiaoyao took out a medicine box from somewhere and put it aside.
Gu Xiangsi was sitting down and just as she was about to get up, Fu Sinian grabbed her hand and stopped her from moving.
He took out a towel from the medicine box, wrapped an ice pack in it, and asked her to press the wound on her face with her hand. He then picked up a cotton swab and medicinal wine, bent down and helped her wipe the wound on her hand.
"Tell me!" he said. "What do you want me to do for you?"
Gu Xiangsi was stunned.
He chuckled.
"With your thorny personality, those three misfits are no match for you. Look at your face, you're really hurting yourself..."
"I'm sorry, I just want to get my mother's things back." Gu Xiangsi took advantage of Fu Sinian and regretted it after making that decision.
He looked at the wound on her hand, his eyes turning cold. "Gu Xiangsi, you're quite straightforward in using me, but are you so cruel to yourself?"
Gu Xiangsi lowered her eyes, "You know I did it on purpose, why didn't you expose me?"
Fu Sinian threw the cotton swab into the trash can and sat down on the chair next to it.
"You took advantage of me, and we'll settle the score later."
Fu Sinian's tone was calm, but it carried a sense of oppression that left no room for questioning.
"I can help you get your mother's things back, and you'll owe me a favor."
"I will work hard." Gu Xiangsi expressed his attitude seriously.
Fu Sinian sneered: "Do you think I need an assistant like you?"
Gu Xiangsi was speechless for a moment.
Yes, he has everything.
"Yes, Mr. Fu has everything he needs."
Fu Sinian felt inexplicably annoyed when he saw her flattering expression.
The woman who used to be arrogant and angry with him had her edges smoothed out by time after five years.
What kind of life has she lived abroad over the years that could change a person so much?
The atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Gu Xiangsi lowered her head slightly, and after a while, Jiang Liangchen brought her bag.
Gu Xiangsi thanked him.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Liang and Li Xiaoyao came in together.
Lu Liang raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Xiangsi, his tone a little deliberate: "Miss Gu, you look like this, some people are probably heartbroken."
He emphasized the word "heartache".
Gu Xiangsi raised her eyes in surprise and subconsciously looked at Fu Sinian.
Fu Sinian was staring at her seriously, with a strange emotion in his eyes that she could not understand.
Does he...really still feel sad?
When this thought flashed through her mind, her heart began to beat wildly as if it had been hit by a deer.
She twitched her lips and said, "Mr. Lu, you're such a joker."
Fu Sinian withdrew his gaze and looked at Li Xiaoyao.
Seeing this, the latter immediately told him the information he had found: "The curly-haired woman is called Chen Xiaoxiao, and she is Chen Hui's niece."
Fu Sinian nodded slightly.
"Snakes and rats really come from the same nest."
Li Xiaoyao continued, "Chen Xiaoxiao is Gu Dong's niece. She is a relative of Gu Dong's wife, Chen Jinmei..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Liang interrupted, "You're talking about Chen Hai, right? He's in the wholesale trade business and is quite famous in this industry."
Fu Sinian listened and suddenly asked, "Oh? Has this person ever had any dealings with our branch?"
Li Xiaoyao nodded and replied, "Yes, we have a subsidiary that does cross-border e-commerce. After purchasing goods from overseas, we do supply them to domestic offline import goods stores through Chen Hai's wholesale network."
Fu Sinian paused, as if thinking of something, and his tone became serious: "But this kind of person...is not worthy of cooperating with our company."
Fu Sinian pursed his lips and turned to look at Lu Liang: "I think it would be a good idea for your company to build a supply chain."
Lu Liang moved a stool and sat next to Fu Sinian, lowering his voice and jokingly saying, "This is the first time I've seen you pick up girls like this? You're even using your tricks in the business world. I really admire you."
He gave Fu Sinian a thumbs-up, but Fu Sinian slapped him away.
"Business is business. Do you want to make money?"
"Profit!" Lu Liang responded immediately, "I can take any opportunity you, the dignified Crown Prince of Hong Kong City, give me."
Jiang Liangchen laughed at the side: "And me."
Duan Jingwen remained silent, just staring at Fu Sinian, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Fu Sinian ignored him. At this time, Gu Dong came in with Chen Jinmei and Gu Xianglian, holding a box in his hands.
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Fu."
Gu Dong smiled awkwardly and said, "This is the necklace left by Xiangsi's mother. I wanted to return it to her after the birthday party, but I didn't expect this misunderstanding to happen."
Li Xiaoyao stepped forward and took the box.
Fu Sinian glanced at the box, his tone calm but weighty.
"No matter how hard you hold on to something that doesn't belong to you, you can't keep it, and it can easily hurt your hands."
