Chapter 94 You don't like her at all. You just like her because I like her. ...
It is said that the Cheng Mansion was first built more than 200 years ago. The ancestor of the Cheng family bought this building from a wealthy foreign businessman. After some repairs, it can still be called a cultural relic. After changing hands several times, it finally became the combination of Chinese and Western styles it is today.
Although the corridor inside the house is decorated with retro chandeliers, it is also equipped with the latest smart home model.
With each step Fu Langshu took, the corridor lit up little by little, like fireworks exploding in the middle of the night, until it illuminated the different faces of the two people.
Fu Haoyao's head exploded, and he felt instantly filled with all kinds of chaotic thoughts.
He stared blankly at the faint smile on his brother's face, his expression blank.
What does he mean?
Why did he invite Fu Liangxia to be his female companion?
Was there something going on between the two of them that he didn't know about?
Fu Haoyao's mind was in a mess.
He thought about other people who might compete with him for the girl, and he also thought about his brother who might stop him because of the difference in family background, but he never thought about the current situation -
His brother competed with him for the person.
The brother he respected and loved the most was competing with him for the person he liked.
Fu Haoyao looked at Fu Langshu expressionlessly, as if a hidden stick had hit him on the back of the head from behind. His head ached dully, and his heart hurt even more. His eyes turned red with pain.
Fu Langshu looked back calmly, still with that composed demeanor.
He pursed his lips, his jaw was tense, and he looked like he was about to explode, as if he was about to punch his brother.
Fu Liangxia realized the strangeness of the atmosphere and took a step back, not wanting to get involved in the dispute between the two.
However, she did think of the reward Fu Langshu had mentioned when he said he would take her to the auction, but she didn't expect him to actually make this request -
No matter how you look at it, it supports her request.
In fact, for Fu Liangxia, as long as she can attend the dinner, it doesn’t make much difference who she goes with.
However, considering what he had promised before, Fu Liangxia thought that agreeing to restore Langshu was a better choice.
It was too good to be true that a favor could be exchanged in a way that benefited oneself.
The above are all weighing the pros and cons, but Fu Liangxia is also a little curious why they all want to invite him.
It can't be that everyone likes her, right?
When Fu Liangxia thought of this possibility, her expression froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal, pretending not to understand anything. "Yes, that's true."
Fu Haoyao's face froze, as if he had already thought of Fu Liangxia's choice.
He immediately said, "What reward? Maybe I can help you without my brother. I won't use this to threaten you or force you to do anything."
He meant something.
Fu Langshu's chest heaved under the implication. He glanced at Fu Haoyao gravely, then suddenly curled his lips and said, "You've become quite capable, Xiaoyao."
The emotions in his eyes were deeply buried, and he stared at Fu Haoyao with meaningful eyes, a complex mixture of relief and other emotions.
Fu Haoyao glared back, unwilling to be outdone, his fists clenched: "Am I wrong? Since you can give it, then I can too."
He said in a resounding voice, "Since it's an invitation, you should let her choose for herself and stop threatening her with other things!"
To be honest, at this moment, Fu Liangxia was a little moved.
Fu Langshu smiled: "You are right, then let her choose."
See if she chooses him or you.
As he said this, he glanced at Fu Liangxia.
The three of them were in a situation where a storm was about to break out, and it seemed like no matter who Fu Liangxia chose, the situation would get out of control.
The silence lasted for a while. Fu Liangxia reviewed the whole thing in his mind, thinking about the impact that agreeing to the two people would have on each of them.
If she chooses to reconcile with Lang Shu, she can repay the favor she owes, but it will also bring more attention.
This is understandable. After all, Fu Langshu is the protagonist of the birthday party, and as his female companion, she will naturally get more attention.
She doesn't know yet what more attention means.
Although choosing Fu Haoyao would not be so conspicuous, the disadvantages are also very obvious.
She could say that choosing Langshu was for the sake of return, but choosing Haoyao felt like choosing something far away, as if he was very special to her.
Fu Liangxia didn't like this feeling.
It's like identifying a person and labeling him.
Fu Langshu seemed to see her entanglement and said slowly, "There's no rush. You can think about it slowly."
"You must be very tired after getting off the plane. Go back and rest first."
Fu Liangxia hesitated. She was indeed sleepy, but she also had a vague feeling that something bad would happen if she left them here alone.
Fu Haoyao actually maintained the same attitude as his brother on this matter. He looked at her dark circles and said seriously, "That's right, you go and rest first."
He was too impatient and lost his composure. He forgot that Fu Liangxia was in poor health and urged her to make a choice.
Fu Liangxia agreed reluctantly. She needed to think about it carefully and also needed to get some sleep.
When the girl's figure disappeared at the stairs, Fu Haoyao rushed over, grabbed Fu Langshu's collar and pressed him against the wall.
"Brother, you are really my brother!"
He said in a suppressed voice and an angry expression, "There are so many female companions you can choose from, why are you competing with me?"
Fu Haoyao was really sad. He thought that even if his brother had feelings for her, he shouldn't be so obvious, almost like declaring war on him.
This made him feel doubly betrayed.
After all, he was a sports student, and Fu Haoyao was quite strong. When Fu Langshu was pushed against the wall, a muffled sound came from his shoulder, which sounded like he was under considerable force.
But he didn't even frown. He stretched out two fingers and gently pushed away the hand on his collar: "It seems that you have become more capable in all aspects."
Anyone who dared to disobey him would be attacked.
“…”
Fu Haoyao silently withdrew his hand, put his hands in his pockets, stared at him with an unchanged expression and growled, "You know I like her, why do you treat me like this?"
Fu Haoyao spoke in a suppressed tone, his chest heaving and bloodshot under his eyes.
Fu Langshu smiled: "I know you like her."
Fu Haoyao's expression suddenly became even more terrifying.
But the next second, Fu Langshu twitched his lips lightly: "But liking someone is not like Kong Rong giving up his pears. There is no distinction between the old and the young, and the inferior."
Fu Haoyao's jaw tightened even more.
"Do you really like her?" he asked seriously.
“…”
Fu Langshu looked at him for a few seconds, then turned his head away silently without responding.
Fu Haoyao suddenly laughed, an angry laugh.
He punched the wall next to Fu Langshu's cheek, his eyes clear and cold: "Brother, you don't like her at all, you just like her because I like her."
…
When they heard the news, Cheng Xingzhou and Bai Yan were chatting in the living room.
After the servant reported the situation in the corridor, Cheng Xingzhou frowned and stood up directly from the sofa.
"What's wrong?" Bai Yan was drawing a design sketch and looked up when he heard the voice.
Cheng Xingzhou: "Fu Haoyao and his brother got into a fight."
As he spoke, he put down the documents in his hand, turned around and walked towards the corridor. Su Xingshu and Bai Yan looked at each other and followed him.
Behind them, Bai Xin looked at them thoughtfully, then remembered something, stood up and walked in another direction.
He remembered that Fu Liangxia had just gone upstairs.
Bai Xin wanted to wait until she woke up to talk to her.
When the other three reached the end of the corridor, they saw Fu Haoyao pressing Fu Langshu against the wall. Fu Langshu had a cold expression, and he did not show any favoritism towards Fu Haoyao as usual.
The three of them quickly pulled Fu Haoyao away and asked him what was wrong.
However, neither of them was injured, so it should not be time for a fight yet.
"Say something, are you feeling guilty?" Fu Haoyao didn't even call him brother at this moment. He stared at Fu Langshu, waiting for his answer.
Cheng Xingzhou grabbed him and said, "Calm down. How can you say that about Brother Fu?"
Others also advised him.
Fu Haoyao sneered, thinking that if you knew what Fu Langshu was thinking, you would definitely think the same as him, so why are you pretending to be rational now?
But he didn't say anything. He just said coldly, "Go away. I won't go back with you."
After saying that, he shook off a few people, turned around and strode upstairs.
Behind him, Fu Langshu stared at his back as he disappeared at the stairs, his eyes deep.
He didn't expect Fu Haoyao to be so perceptive.
And now he really couldn't figure out his feelings for Fu Liangxia. Was he in love with her, or was it more like what Fu Haoyao said, just because Fu Haoyao liked her.
But Fu Langshu could be sure that at least he admired Fu Liangxia very much.
This admiration prompted him to be willing to give her an entry ticket to high society and take her into the top world of fame and fortune.
And the reward is just a joke.
But now, he was a little glad that this was a joke. At least this so-called reward would make Fu Liangxia lean a little more towards him when making a choice.
He will have less chance of losing.
Fu Langshu twirled the jade ring on his finger, his face returning to its usual expression as he nodded to the others, saying, "Since Xiaoyao insists on staying here, I'll leave him in your care."
Cheng Xingzhou: "It should be."
…
Fu Liangxia slept for a long time and didn't wake up until around five in the morning.
It was obvious that she had not been able to adjust to the jet lag, but she had slept too long and no longer had the desire to sleep any longer.
She took out the exercise book from her luggage and did some exercises, but soon felt that the questions were too easy, so she put the exercise book away.
She simply sat at the desk, staring out quietly for a while before opening her phone. She saw that Bobo's private messages had exploded. It was obvious that netizens had dug out her account and information.
Fu Liangxia was too lazy to read the content, nor was she curious. It was enough for her to know that many people were following her, and attention was ready-made traffic.
Many people sent her messages on her social media account, including those she knew well and those she didn’t, and Fu Liangxia picked and chose the ones she replied to.
Perhaps because she hadn't eaten dinner, Fu Liangxia suddenly felt a little hungry. It was not convenient to ask the servant to deliver food at this time, so she left the room by herself and prepared to find something to eat on the first floor.
When she passed the stairs, she was startled by Bai Xin standing against the wall.
Hearing the sound, he opened his eyelids and looked over. When he saw it was her, he stood up straight. It was hard not to tell that he was standing here just to wait for her.
Fu Liangxia was stunned for a moment, then remembered that Bai Xin seemed to have said that he had something to say to him at the airport.
She asked, "What's wrong?"
"Wang Xixi will be expelled from school. Whether she will go to jail depends on whether the Wang family can keep her." Bai Xin said without any context.
"Although it was an assault, it happened in another country after all. Domestic laws are of no use. The continent where we're camping belongs to has very lax laws in this area. Even if it can be proven that Wang Xixi intentionally assaulted someone, her lawyer will settle the case for her. At most, they'll just have her hired bodyguard take the blame."
After hearing how he handled Wang Xixi, Fu Liangxia didn't have much reaction.
This result was pretty much what she expected. After all, the Wang family was powerful, and before the Wang family fell, the treatment they gave Wang Xixi was just a drizzle.
But what surprised her was that Saint Lande would actually let Wang Xixi drop out of school.
The Wang family is one of the shareholders of Saint Land. Will they agree?
"The Wang family is now unable to take care of themselves and they are eager to push Wang Xixi out to calm the Cheng family's anger." Bai Xin seemed to understand her confusion and explained.
"I understand." Fu Liangxia nodded and walked downstairs. She was more anxious to fill her stomach than to care about Wang Xixi's fate.
However, when she found a few bagels on the table, she looked up and saw Bai Xin following her, as if he had something to say.
"Anything else?" she asked as she spread the sauce evenly inside.
Bai Xin lowered his head, a look of guilt and apology on his face, and said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry that the matter between her and I has implicated you."
Fu Liangxia looked up at him and felt that this was not a matter of forgiveness or not, the main thing was that the whole thing was ridiculous.
However, considering that this was the world of an ancient novel, she quickly felt relieved.
Fu Liangxia took a bite of the bagel in her hand and said calmly, "It's okay. I wasn't the one injured. Maybe Cheng Xingzhou was worse off."
She didn't like to hold a grudge in her heart for too long, especially when the Cheng family was personally involved and Wang Xixi's future was foreseeable. If she continued to dwell on it, it would be purely to make things difficult for her breasts.
So she was really relieved.
However, Fu Liangxia's words seemed to have another meaning to others -
For example, standing up for Cheng Xingzhou.
Bai Xin was silent for a moment, the apology in his eyes faded, and finally he nodded gently and said, "Yes, I know, I will apologize to Cheng Xingzhou too."
Oh, that didn't seem to have anything to do with her. Fu Liangxia nodded casually, finished the bagel in a few bites, and poured herself a glass of water. She heard Bai Xin say again: "If there is anything you can't handle, you can come to me, such as taking care of Cheng Xingzhou."
Fu Liangxia didn't understand what he meant, but agreed.
Two hours later, on Monday morning, Fu Liangxia, Cheng Xingzhou and others got on the bus to school.
When he got out of the car, he inevitably attracted a lot of attention. Fu Liangxia sighed and could almost imagine what would be written on the forum.
The troubles of celebrities.
It seems that there was a similar plot in the original book, but the heroine at that time was Bai Kewei, and the male protagonist was only Fu Haoyao. But now it has become her, and the male protagonists are all F4 members.
This is so weird.
There was clearly no shooting in the original book, but the consequences seemed to be the same, even though the protagonist of the story had changed.
But this time, no one dared to target her like in the original book.
These people are not fools. Excluding her may cause resentment, but trying to please her may give them the opportunity to climb up the F4. The choice seems clear.
But the gossip factor quietly flowed among everyone. They were curious about what happened during the camping, and when Cheng Xingzhou became involved with her. The two seemed to have little intersection.
The only communication seemed to be a true talk forum.
Yes, a truth-telling forum!
"I watched the replay again, and with the benefit of hindsight, these two were indeed a bit strange, don't you think?"
"Yes, I also feel that the atmosphere between these two is very strange. They don't seem like ordinary classmates meeting for the first time. They are more like enemies."
"They're not enemies, right? I feel like the way the president looks at Fu Liangxia is clearly not innocent. It's more like they're in love and hate each other."
"But Fu Liangxia's expression is quite cold, and I can't tell what's going on..."
When Fu Liangxia entered the classroom, the classmates were chattering and even divided into several factions: the enemies faction, the lovers-hate faction, the unrequited love faction... The argument was in full swing. Seeing Fu Liangxia's figure outside the classroom, they immediately stopped talking, but their eyes were full of gossip when they looked at her.
She ignored their looks and walked straight to her seat.
Seeing this, some classmates who had chatted with her once or twice before gathered around, their eyes full of curiosity: "Liangxia, is this true? Did Senior Wang really kidnap you and want to kill you?"
"It's so horrible, you can't tell she's that kind of person!"
"How are you? Are you hurt? Did the president really take a bullet for you?"
"Maybe Senior Sister Wang's aim was bad and she missed the target from the beginning."
Fu Liangxia was getting a headache from the back-and-forth questions. She answered as concisely as possible, "It's true. The injuries aren't serious. But the president's condition is more serious, and there's a risk of amputation."
This was the excuse they had agreed on early in the morning. Only by making the illness sound more serious could they highlight the Wang family's abominable nature and Cheng Xingzhou's selfless and loving spirit.
Hearing this, everyone covered their mouths in shock: "Amputation——"
One of Cheng Xingzhou's fans burst into tears on the spot. Seeing his devastated look, Fu Liangxia wanted to tell him the truth that in the face of the Cheng family's wealth and power, any risk would be reduced to zero.
After receiving the explosive news, several people couldn't help but want to go back and share it with their friends, but they also thought that Fu Liangxia was so easy to talk to, so why not just ask the parties involved what their relationship was? Maybe they would get an answer?
One of them thought so and whispered, "What's your relationship with the president, Liang Xia? Are you dating..."
Before he finished saying the word "go", Bai Xin suddenly appeared behind him and glanced at him. The man immediately shut his mouth. All the students who were originally gathered around the seats stepped back three meters, leaving space around Fu Liangxia.
Bai Xin didn't say anything, but just sat down by the window.
However, Su Xingshu, who was following behind, said, "We are not dating, we are just classmates."
Seeing that it was the more talkative Su Xingshu who spoke, some classmates immediately leaned over curiously: "That's impossible, would an ordinary classmate risk his life to save someone?"
After the classmate finished speaking, she saw Su Xingshu's eyes suddenly turn cold. He immediately shut his mouth and wanted to leave. However, his displeasure was not directed at her. Instead, he said sarcastically, "Because our president is kind-hearted. Believe me, even if it was you who was threatened at the time, our dear president would have risked his life to save you."
There was another round of commotion.
"It's so noisy." Bai Xin suddenly raised his head from the book and said in a calm voice.
I don't know if he was talking about the noisy classmates around him or Su Xingshu himself.
But the classmates were all very perceptive. Bai Xin had a weird temper, but he had always had a good relationship with the other members of F4. How could he possibly say that Su Xingshu was noisy? Of course it was the others.
They immediately scattered like birds and beasts.
Fu Liangxia breathed a sigh of relief, but she felt that although Su Xingshu said what he should say, there was something strange about it. Perhaps he blamed Cheng Xingzhou for getting hurt while helping others, so he was being sarcastic.
There was laughter and chatter at the door. She glanced over and saw Xu Cai and her friends. She noticed the strange atmosphere as soon as she entered. She froze for a moment and looked around, thinking the teacher had started class early.
Then she grabbed a classmate and asked what happened. Her expression suddenly became strange and she patted the classmate on the head: "There are still two weeks before the monthly exam. How many points can you get? You are gossiping about others here."
"But everyone is talking about it," he said unconvincedly. "It's all over the place, so we're curious. What's going on?"
Xu Cai stared at him: "I don't know them, but I know you."
"Gossiping about classmates, and having such dirty thoughts... What, don't you think the president is the kind of person who would sacrifice himself for others?"
After being praised like this, the student of course couldn't say anything more, but he just looked a little unhappy.
Ju Jinghuan had been distracted since Su Xingshu started talking, his eyes always fixed on Fu Liangxia, but she was reading a book seriously the whole time, as if the person being talked about was not her.
After a while, he noticed the argument between Xu Cai and his deskmate, and said to him slowly, "At least we have to believe in the president's character, right?"
This was said with some skill, as if any further doubt on his part would be questioning the president's character, and that he wouldn't be so kind as to sacrifice himself to save an ordinary classmate. If it got out, it would be a serious matter.
My deskmate was very convinced of Ju Jinghuan. He was not very happy at first, but now he has no other thoughts.
The discussions gradually died down. Xu Cai trotted over, switched seats with Fu Liangxia at the table in front of her, and turned to stare at her.
Fu Liangxia was frightened by her stare and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I just think you're so unlucky, being dragged down by others and suffering this kind of unprovoked disaster." Xu Cai said, taking out a string of cinnabar from her bosom and putting it on her hand. "Why don't you go to the temple to pray when you have time? Why do you always get involved with unlucky things?"
Bai Xin, the “other” who was dragged down by others: “…”
She speaks with such eloquence.
Fu Liangxia was amused by her: "You make sense. I'll go and worship when I have time."
Although these things of hers will not be effective just by praying, they are essentially caused by the will of the world.
