Chapter 17: Marrying Down to Marrying Up
Ye Qiaoqiao was a little flattered when she suddenly heard Fu Juechuan's confession.
"Brother Fu, wouldn't that mean I'm taking advantage of you and marrying you out of your wealth?" Ye Qiaoqiao said with innocence in her eyes.
Fu Juechuan didn't expect that she didn't care about his lie at all, but instead joked about it with interest.
"Aren't you angry that I lied?" Fu Juechuan looked up at her, all kinds of emotions surging in his eyes, and finally died down in her eyes without any disgust.
"Don't be angry. This is your business, Brother Fu. No matter whose son you are, it doesn't affect my life. Of course, I know that Brother Fu must have a reason for hiding your identity."
"You've been in the army for four years and never revealed your identity. Now that you meet me, you have to tell me. I'm afraid it will affect you." Ye Qiaoqiao said sincerely and asked worriedly, "Brother Fu, will you really not affect you if you tell me this?"
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else, even my dad. I will only tell anyone unless it affects my dad's safety." Ye Qiaoqiao covered her mouth and promised.
After her reaction, the things that Fu Juechuan originally cared about were no longer a big deal.
"Qiao Qiao, you did the right thing. My father and I had an agreement to join the army without telling my identity. This is a matter between him and me. If it endangers my uncle, just tell him." Fu Juechuan nodded carefully and supported Ye Qiaoqiao's idea.
For some reason, Ye Qiaoqiao found him cute.
This thought suddenly popped up in Ye Qiaoqiao's mind, and she was startled and quickly dismissed the idea.
"I understand, Brother Fu."
"Well, the betrothal gift I gave has nothing to do with my father. If someone troubles you because of this matter in the future, don't be afraid, just let him go." Fu Juechuan's heart softened, and he reminded Ye Qiaoqiao first when he thought of something.
Ye Qiaoqiao was shocked and asked subconsciously, "Brother Fu, do you mean that someone is eyeing the inheritance left by your mother? Who is it?"
She was already racking her brains to think of someone around Fu Juechuan who could deal with him.
"It's my second uncle Fu Heng. He has been trying to match his adopted daughter Zheng Shi with me. I don't agree. He is very persistent about my marriage. When he finds out about my marriage, he might say something unpleasant to you. Knowing how much I value you, he will definitely deliberately provoke you in this regard." Fu Juechuan said this, looking up apologetically, "It's all my fault that I have implicated you."
Ye Qiaoqiao nodded slightly, shocked by the news.
What she knew in her previous life was that Fu Heng was sincere to Fu Juechuan and was better to him than his biological father, Chief Fu.
As for why he insisted that Fu Juechuan marry his adopted daughter, she had no idea. She only knew that Fu Juechuan did not marry Zheng Shi in the end.
"Brother Fu, is it possible that Uncle Fu really cares about you?" Ye Qiaoqiao asked tentatively.
Hearing this, Fu Juechuan suddenly raised his eyes and looked at her, as if he was a little puzzled as to why she said that. "Maybe there is a true heart."
In other words, Fu Juechuan still rejects Fu Heng.
Ye Qiaoqiao knew that she couldn't convince Fu Juechuan to trust Fu Heng with just a few words, not to mention that what Fu Heng did was indeed easy to be misunderstood. However, she remembered that there was indeed a real spy around Brother Fu.
"Brother Fu, is Jiang Yuan doing business in Huaicheng?"
Ye Qiaoqiao explained, "Jiang Yuan told me this when we were toasting this morning."
"Yes." Fu Juechuan responded after hearing this, raised his eyes to look at her, and said in a steady voice, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"No, I just heard from Jiang Yuan that the Yuanke company he founded seemed to have problems and was on the verge of bankruptcy. I suspect the problem lies in the finances. Otherwise, why don't you check the person in charge of finance?" Ye Qiaoqiao couldn't explain it too clearly.
She knew that Jiang Yuan came to Huaicheng to do business in order to take care of and contact Fu Juechuan.
He did not come alone, but brought with him Yu Jun, the son of the nanny who took care of Fu Juechuan when he was a child. Yu Jun seemed to trust Fu Juechuan very much, but in fact he had betrayed him long ago.
It's just that Fu Juechuan seemed to have some affection for him and was quite tolerant of him, but he didn't expect that he was the culprit that caused Jiang Yuan's business failure.
Fu Juechuan also understands the business process. He joined the army and cannot do business, but he unexpectedly has some talent. However, he is not interested in business and only gives advice to Jiang Yuan when he needs it.
"...I'll tell Jiang Yuan." Fu Juechuan asked, "Is this urgent?"
"Urgent!" Ye Qiaoqiao nodded seriously, "If the accountant wants to do anything, the money can be swindled away directly."
"Then I'll inform Jiang Yuan right away." Fu Juechuan valued Ye Qiaoqiao and did not choose to ignore her words. Whether it worked or not, they were her intentions.
Ye Qiaoqiao quickly handed him the phone with an expectant look on her face.
In front of her, Fu Juechuan called Jiang Yuan and gave him a few simple reminders.
When he hung up the phone, he looked up and saw Ye Qiaoqiao looking at him with a smile in her eyes.
Fu Juechuan's eyes suddenly darkened and he stood up abruptly.
Ye Qiaoqiao looked up in confusion, but what she saw was a pair of long legs, a slender figure, broad shoulders and a narrow waist. For some reason, the belt was tied very tightly and his muscles were bulging.
Not only is it not strange, it also makes his body look powerful.
Ye Qiaoqiao couldn't take her eyes off him, and her heartbeat slowed down.
She came back to her senses, subconsciously pinched her burning ears, coughed lightly and said, "Brother Fu, I have prepared a gift for you, can you come with me to the room?"
Fu Juechuan had already controlled his emotions. He nodded and followed Ye Qiaoqiao upstairs into her room.
Ye Qiaoqiao said, "Brother Fu, please sit down. I'll go clean up."
Seeing that the room was a little messy, she quickly got up, folded the pajamas on the bed and put them in the closet.
Then he found the paper bag he had saved earlier, opened the drawer of his wardrobe, and put several items into the bag.
watch.
shaver.
Outdoor sunglasses.
belt.
She had someone buy them from the Friendship Store, which cost her a lot of foreign exchange coupons, but compared to Fu Juechuan's betrothal gift, it was nothing. However, it was a token of her love, so she still wanted to give it to him.
"Brother Fu, this is my gift to you." Ye Qiaoqiao picked up the bag, turned around and walked to Fu Juechuan who was sitting on the bed, and handed him the gift.
"The gift I prepared is not too precious, please don't despise it." Ye Qiaoqiao said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Fu Juechuan took it and found that it was full of valuables. He immediately stood up and put the gift on the bed, "I can't accept it, it's too expensive."
"Brother Fu, I accepted all the gifts you gave me. If you don't accept my gifts, does that mean you don't like them?"
Ye Qiaoqiao quickly reached out to pull him back, preventing him from leaving.
Unexpectedly, she took a few quick steps and bumped into Fu Juechuan's chest. She gasped and quickly raised her head to steady herself.
“Ah…” Ye Qiaoqiao grabbed her hair that was pulled in pain and said weakly, “Brother Fu, don’t move. My hair is caught on your button. It hurts.”
"Don't worry, I'll untie it." Fu Juechuan suppressed his thundering heartbeat and immediately lowered his head to reach out to untie it. However, he didn't expect that due to the height difference between them, Ye Qiaoqiao's hair would be pulled as long as he stood up straight.
“It hurts, it hurts…”
Fu Juechuan became anxious and saw the desk next to him. He immediately reached out and carried her to sit on the desk.
Ye Qiaoqiao looked up in a daze, and happened to bump into Fu Juechuan who was lowering his head and eyelids to unbutton his hair. A handsome face like a sculpture instantly enlarged in front of her eyes.
