Ye Li was completely dazed until she sat down.
After arriving at the banquet hall, Fu Yanci went straight to Madam Fu's place.
Without even showing their faces again, the banquet ended.
Fu Garden's parking lot resembled an international luxury car exhibition, with cars roaring out.
Before Ye Li could even get Qin Chu's car, the Fu family's butler came out and said that Old Madam Fu had something to say to her.
But when Ye Li stepped into the restaurant and saw that tall, straight figure at the table, her heart skipped a beat.
"Master Fu..."
With a barely perceptible tremor in her voice, Ye Li forced herself to remain calm as she sat opposite Fu Yanci and asked, "Grandmother Fu, she..."
"I sent you."
Fu Yanci cut to the chase, "You and He Chen..."
"We've already called off the engagement!"
Ye Li said softly, "My father has passed away, and my mother is in poor health. I will make my own decisions about my own affairs. I am determined to cancel this marriage!"
"Fu Yanci!"
Thinking about the purpose of her visit today, Ye Li seemed to have made up her mind, and looked up at Fu Yanci, "Let's make a deal!"
Fu Yanci looked up at him.
Meeting the man's deep gaze, Ye Li took a deep breath and said, "You need a girlfriend to put Grandmother Fu at ease and to clear up those unspeakable rumors in the capital. As for me, I need 100 million to pay off the Ye family's debts... I can cooperate with you unconditionally, allowing you to focus your time and energy on what you deem worthwhile. Once you no longer need her, I will leave immediately. During this time, I promise I will be a qualified girlfriend!"
The girl tried to remain calm as she looked at him, but her reddened earlobes betrayed her shyness and embarrassment.
It seems that linking emotions with interests is an outrageous thing.
His gaze slid from her face to her back, and as he looked at the heavy snow falling outside the window, Fu Yanci's eyes paused slightly.
Ye Li waited for a long time but did not receive a response from Fu Yanci.
Then he thought that he might have kept her here under the guise of Grandmother Fu just to teach her a lesson and prevent her from acting recklessly under the name of the future Mrs. Zhou.
Ye Li was almost unable to hold back her emotions.
The next moment, a cold, deep voice was heard, "Fine!"
Ye Li suddenly looked up.
Fu Yanci frowned and said, "However, there's a problem..."
"According to your logic, you'd be my girlfriend, unconditionally complying with all my demands, and the price I'd pay is 100 million. So, how do we measure the value of that 100 million, and when will it be fully realized? In a month? Or... I'll just finish paying back that 100 million to the Ye family, and you're already breaking up with me?"
"Then...wouldn't I be at a huge loss?"
? ? ?
I meant that I wouldn't have broken up with you if you hadn't brought it up.
I also want to say that I am not that kind of person.
But words are not enough to prove anything.
Besides, even if I told him, he might not believe me.
Ye Li's mind went blank for a moment.
The man's expression was deep and unreadable.
Only a fleeting glint of light crossed his eyes.
The next moment, he sat up straight and looked at her intently.
"I have a suggestion!"
Fu Yanci said in a deep voice, "Let's...get married!"
My heart jumped into my throat.
Ye Li's eyes widened.
Fu Yanci explained, "After we get married, I'll treat your 100 million as a joint marital debt and help you repay it unconditionally. Divorce is obviously much more difficult than breaking up, so the decision is in my hands, not yours. How about it?"
Ye Li stared blankly at Fu Yanci.
For a fleeting moment, Ye Li had an absurd illusion that today's blind date was a trap specifically set for her.
But Ye Li decisively nipped such a thought in the bud.
That's Fu Yanci!
Fu Yanci set a trap for her.
Are you kidding me?
With just a glance from him, the elegant ladies of the capital's elite families could instantly fall at his feet, at his beck and call.
If he didn't like those refined ladies, finding an ordinary girl with a clean background who was easy to manipulate would be a piece of cake.
And she doesn't have to shoulder the huge debt of 100 million yuan that she has.
But then, he said to her, "Let's get married!"
Blink, then look back at the snow-covered landscape outside the window, and once again confirm that you are not dreaming.
Ye Li looked up at the man, "Fu Yanci... are you serious?"
Marriage is a magical thing.
Marrying Fu Yanci doubles the magic.
But as long as it could solve the Ye family's urgent problem, she was willing to jump into a fire pit.
"Stay at Fu Garden tonight and keep Grandma company. I'll come pick you up tomorrow!"
Without answering her question, the man left after uttering a single sentence.
With a dazzling array of delicious food laid out before her, the aroma and steam rising together, Ye Li still felt as if she were dreaming.
It was just an ordinary night.
But for Ye Li, it was destined to be a sleepless night.
Thinking back on the unbelievable experiences of the day.
I wonder what Fu Yanci's inexplicable suggestion was, given his aloof and indifferent demeanor.
What they thought about more was the Ye family, which had already fallen apart.
If only Dad were still here, if only the Ye family were still here... How wonderful that would be!
Tears soaked her pillow, and Ye Li didn't even know when she fell asleep.
I woke up again to a knock on the door.
The morning light shines brightly outside the window.
I opened the door, and there was a brand new set of clothes on the cart.
White shirt.
jeans.
Ankle-length down jacket.
They were all her size.
Although she didn't know what he wanted her to do by waiting for her at Fu Garden, since she had agreed to his marriage proposal, she should still show the sincerity she needed to.
