Chapter 81 Why is your mouth swollen? Before everything happened, she...
The person who had just been in his mind was now embraced by her friend, her skirt swaying softly in a curve. Her waist was slender, and the arms around the boy were so pale and tender that they stood out against the night, as if they would break if bent.
She tilted her head back, her hair falling, her crimson lips intimately intertwined with another's. Even during the most intimate moments, her eyes were open, dark and deep, reflecting the cold moonlight.
Bai Xin didn't know if normal people kissed like she did, so close yet so distant. But he could clearly see his friend frowning in displeasure. As if to punish her for not paying attention, he bit her lower lip, earning a soft gasp and an angry slap from her.
The boy chuckled, his singer-like voice even more alluring when he laughed.
Fu Liangxia was speechless and didn't want to tolerate him anymore, but Su Xingshu chuckled and hugged her back: "Sorry, I won't do it next time."
"There won't be a next time." When she returns, she will replace all the system rewards with ones that strengthen the body.
She reached out to push him, but because she had her head raised, she noticed that the vines on the balcony directly above the third floor were swaying slightly, and the wind tonight was not strong enough to blow the vines.
Was there anyone there just now?
Fu Liangxia frowned.
Su Xingshu let go of her hand and looked up along with her gaze, but when he looked up, the vine had stopped shaking and he saw nothing.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
Fu Liangxia retracted her gaze, recalling in her mind whose room that was, and replied, "It's okay."
The beach activities weren't over yet, and Su Xingshu hadn't interrupted the song halfway through, so he naturally didn't want to continue. He wanted to stay with Fu Liangxia for a while longer, but he couldn't find an excuse, so he just followed her back.
After Fu Liangxia returned to the beach, she didn't join the dancing crowd. She walked to the barbecue grill, picked up the watermelon juice she had brought, and poured herself a glass.
There was a new singer on the stage, and the song wasn't bad, but it seemed a bit mediocre considering the excellent performance before it.
Bai Kewei had been looking for her. Seeing her come back, she quickly stepped out of the crowd. After standing next to her, Bai Kewei asked worriedly, "Where did you go just now? Are you okay?"
She knew Bao En and remembered that she and a few other girls often talked to people and even smoked in the bathroom. Bai Kewei felt that she was not a good person and was afraid that Fu Liangxia would be bullied.
Fu Liangxia smiled and said, "Nothing, the club's matter has been resolved."
Bai Kewei didn't ask any more questions, but brought up another topic: "Just now, Fu Haoyao came to you and asked me where you were going. I said I didn't know."
Fu Liangxia: "Why did he look for me?"
"Fu Haoyao didn't say anything, so it's probably not a pressing matter. He just does whatever he wants." Bai Kewei curled her lips, took her arm, and suddenly her eyes narrowed. "Why is your mouth swollen?"
Bai Yan appeared out of nowhere at this moment, took a closer look at her, and raised his eyebrows inexplicably: "You eat so well?"
Bai Kewei didn't understand what he meant, and didn't pay much attention to Bai Yan, the man of the hour. She just stared at Fu Liangxia, a little puzzled: "Did you eat a lot of spicy food?"
Fu Liangxia didn't expect it to be so obvious. She felt that because Bai Yan came over, many people around were looking at her. She said vaguely, "Maybe it's too spicy. Just drink more water."
After saying that, she raised her hand and took a sip of the watermelon juice in the cup as if to cover up.
Bai Yan smiled and said, "Oh, it's spicy."
Bai Kewei nodded doubtfully: "Do you want me to pour you another glass?"
Fu Liangxia shook her head. She wanted to go back and rest, so she asked her, "Do you want to play for a while longer, or come back with me?"
"With you." Bai Kewei said without hesitation.
The class divisions in Saint Lande were clear, and she could only stay with a few special recruits with whom she had a slightly better relationship, and there were people who ordered them around.
Bai Kewei didn't want to pay attention to those people, but she also knew that everyone had their own ambitions and she had no interest in meddlesome things, so she simply turned a blind eye.
Seeing the two preparing to leave, Bai Yan said, "See you at the hotel," and turned away. Fu Liangxia guessed he was about to mention the model, but for some reason he didn't. She and Bai Kewei walked towards the villa. It was a little after nine in the evening, so it was still early. They planned to go to the cinema on the basement floor to watch a movie.
Just as the two of them entered the villa, Fu Liangxia's phone suddenly lit up and a call rang. Bai Kewei, who was very good at reading people's expressions, said that she would go downstairs to wait for her, leaving the space for Fu Liangxia to talk.
She glanced at the caller ID and it said "Father".
There is no visitor without a request. Fu Liangxia didn't receive many calls from Fu's father when she was in the sanatorium. However, when she was camping abroad, she received a call from him across the ocean and time difference. She didn't think that this was Fu's father's belated fatherly love and care.
On the contrary, with Fu Liedong's preparations, Fu Liangxia was able to guess the other party's intentions.
When she answered the phone, she heard Father Fu's usual gentle voice coming from the receiver: "Xiao Xia, are you used to camping? Are you getting along well with your classmates?"
Fu Liangxia walked to the cushion in the corner and sat down. The shadows enveloped her in darkness. She said slowly, "It's okay. My classmates are all very nice."
Father Fu seemed to smile when he heard this, and his voice became even softer as he said, "As long as your classmates are doing well, I'm glad. Dad heard that you've been getting close to the heir of the Su Group recently? Have you become good friends?"
Fu Liangxia held the phone tightly, thinking that this was the main reason for his call, to find out about her relationship with Su Xingshu.
Normally, Fu's father would choose to ask Fu Liedong for information. After all, he was easier to control. Why would he suddenly come to her?
She recalled Fu Liedong's evasive words at noon. Could this be what he meant? Did he no longer want to help Fu's father monitor her and Su Xingshu's movements? Otherwise, Fu's father would not have come directly to her.
The more Fu Liangxia thought about it, the more possible it seemed. In an instant, he figured out the twists and turns involved.
But he still perfunctorily said, "He sits behind me in school, so naturally we're closer. But it's definitely not as close as my brother and him. We're just ordinary classmates."
Father Fu didn't know whether he believed her or not, but he just said gently: "The Su family has a strong background. Any information they can get from us would be enough for us to rise to prominence. I believe you won't let this relationship stop at just being an ordinary classmate, right?"
Fu Liangxia stretched out her hand, watching the moonlight pour into her palm through the gap, and pulled the corner of her lip meaningfully: "Father, people can't be too greedy."
Hearing Fu Liangxia's words, Fu's father felt guilty for a moment. He suspected that Fu Liangxia knew something, but he quickly rejected this idea.
While Fu Liangxia was involved in the company's operations, he had absolutely no authority over the day-to-day decisions of the top management. At most, he only had the authority over new projects. And when the person above approached him, he did so entirely in secret, using a special channel. Fu Liangxia shouldn't have known about it, and couldn't have known about it.
Thinking of this, he felt relieved and said helplessly, "How can you talk to your elders like that, kid? Dad has been in the business world for so many years, who could possibly trick him?"
"Anyway, I can't interfere with your young people's social life, but since you have the opportunity to enter their circle, Dad still hopes that you can seize it. Do you understand what I mean?"
When Fu Liangxia heard the content of the words, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes, but he responded obediently: "Of course, father."
Fu's father hung up the phone with satisfaction.
But Fu Liangxia knew in his heart that the plot in the original book must have happened.
I remember that in the middle of the original book, the Fu family experienced a crisis and was on the verge of bankruptcy. Fu's father was also imprisoned for illegal operations. When he was released, everything had changed.
Along with the Fu family, several other businesses that had also grown prosperous in recent years also declined. Their companies were all confiscated and, after countless twists and turns, finally fell into the hands of the Cheng family.
Fu Liangxia hadn't paid much attention to the story when she read it, and the author didn't dwell on cannon fodder characters, so she didn't know much about the inside story. She only knew that from then on, the original owner's situation became even more miserable. From a nouveau riche to a specially recruited student, the bullying she endured only intensified, ultimately leading to her death from depression.
Fu Liangxia hoped in her heart that he was just greedy for more shares, which was why he called tonight.
But she knew in her heart that this matter was not that simple. Because in the original book, it was from the moment Fu's father asked the original owner to get close to Su Xingshu that everything gradually collapsed.
At that time, the original owner and Su Xingshu were only sitting in front and behind each other.
Fu Liangxia was so lost in thought that she didn't rush to get up after hanging up the phone. She sat in the shadows, her eyes cold and thoughtful.
Even if she has made changes and prompted the Fu family to cooperate with Fu Langshu and Liang Huiming, can it still not prevent the original plot from happening?
Is the world's will really so powerful that the decline of the Fu family is inevitable?
Or is there some plot point where she hasn't changed, and that just happens to be the reason why the Fu family is being targeted?
Fu Liangxia held his chin with one hand, lost in thought.
There are many plot points that she did not change, and it seems useless to think about it too much, so she can only take it one step at a time.
But there is one thing she can start preparing for now.
If the Fu family is destined to decline, the company will inevitably be handed over to others.
So, why can't she be the one to take over?
In other words, she might as well short the company before anything happens.
Fu Liangxia paused in the darkness for a moment before finalizing her plan. She found a contact on her phone, quickly typed a few lines, and sent them off before she slowly exhaled.
Standing up, she walked to the counter and poured herself a glass of water.
The cold liquid slid down his throat, causing a slight discomfort.
Fu Liangxia's heartbeat calmed down. Since she had decided to short the company, she'd better stick to her original plan and avoid raising Fu's father's suspicions. As for Su Xingshu, she had no idea what their current situation was.
Although they were just ordinary classmates, they had indeed engaged in ambiguous behavior. However, as for how close their relationship was, at least Fu Liangxia didn't have that idea.
——She has kissed so many people, how can she give each of them a name?
It's just a casual act, don't take it too seriously.
After drinking half a glass of ice water, she was about to put the cup down when she suddenly noticed a gaze coming from the stairs.
At the staircase where a dim wall lamp was lit, a slender figure was standing there, and it was unknown how long he had been standing there.
It’s Bai Xin.
She has now mastered the skill of quickly identifying Bai Xin and Bai Yan. She can tell whether the person in front of her is Bai Xin or Bai Yan at a glance.
