Chapter 57 Does it hurt? You're on my side
Fu Liangxia leaned on the pillow of the hospital bed. The touch beneath her body was soft, and she felt as if her whole body was sunk into it, as comfortable as a soft cloud. However, Fu Langshu, who was standing beside the bed, was as cold as the wind.
"I remember that you had been living in a nursing home due to poor health, and only returned to school recently after you recovered."
Fu Langshu originally thought that the doctors at the sanatorium in the lower city were not competent enough and that was why they couldn't find anything.
However, it was not until he found the top domestic experts who gave similar answers that he realized the difficulty of the problem.
Fu Langshu's brows twitched slightly, his gaze dropped, and his eyes slowly moved from her thin figure to her small face the size of a palm.
The whole person looks like he will break if touched.
Even so, her parents dared to let her go to school?
"So, all the doctors your family took you to think you were healthy? Did they know about your frequent fainting?"
Fu Liangxia raised her eyes and saw Fu Langshu staring at her seriously, with thoughts surging in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
Under such gazes, she adjusted her sitting position with a slight sense of impatience and said obediently, "I know a little bit, but the physical examination report is fine, so they didn't object to my returning to school."
She tilted her head: "What's wrong? Am I not feeling well?"
Fu Langshu did not respond, but his eyes wandered silently over her body, finally landing on her slender neck.
The tender white skin was as smooth as milk, revealing the slightly blue blood vessels underneath, which seemed as if they would break if pinched.
There was a purple bruise near the jaw, which added an inexplicable sense of damage to the already beautiful neck, which could easily arouse people's desire for violence.
Fu Langshu took a few steps closer and stared at it.
Meanwhile, Liang Huiming, standing to the side, also noticed the man's gaze and sensed the hidden emotions within. He was startled for a moment before suddenly sneered, his lips curled up in amusement. "Mr. Fu talks so righteously, but in reality, he's not..."
"Mr. Liang," the man interrupted him. "You're a very important person, so you have a lot to do. Don't you have anything else to do?"
They are trying to drive him away because they think he talks too much.
Liang Huiming simply stopped staying here and continued to be annoying.
He winked at Fu Liangxia lying on the hospital bed, his face completely devoid of any guilt. He waved his hand and said, "I'm sorry about what happened today, but if you change your mind later, my previous suggestion will always work."
After saying that, Liang Huiming turned around and left gracefully.
Fu Liangxia looked at the other person's back as he left, frowning.
She knew what Liang Huiming's proposal was, which was nothing more than abandoning Fu Langshu and turning to him.
But, was he talking about just the love field, or was there a deeper meaning...for example, the business world?
But no matter which one it was, Fu Liangxia was certain that the other person was definitely not a good choice. This kind of person, who could be talking and laughing one second and then strangle her to death the next, was truly terrifying.
She couldn't even tell whether the other party's fleeting guilt was just a show.
But whether it is true or not, Liang Huiming is a madman.
After Liang Huiming left, Fu Langshu raised his hand, and his slender fingers gently slid along her neckline, finally falling on her bruises.
Fu Langshu leaned forward slightly, his eyes fixed on that spot, and his voice was low: "Does it hurt?"
His fingertips slid across her skin, and as the man got closer, a subtle tension gradually emerged in the air.
Fu Liangxia maintained her head tilted back, feeling the other person's gaze was a bit scary, but she still whispered, "It hurts."
Fu Langshu's eyes darkened when he heard this.
However, before he could do anything, he heard Fu Liangxia slowly finish the second half of the sentence: "How can I remember the price of 'betraying' President Fu if it doesn't hurt?"
Fu Langshu's hand on her neck paused slightly, and his originally ambiguous eyes suddenly became clear.
He stood up straight and gave an ambiguous smile: "You're just telling me like that? Without hesitation?"
Fu Langshu could guess that Liang Huiming was sowing discord between them. Whether he was worried about the two companies colluding to cheat him, or it was just his bad instincts, poaching seemed to be something the other party could do.
I'm afraid the deeper meaning behind this is to wait for the Fu family to really turn against him, or for him to discover the trick and kick the Fu family out.
However, Fu Langshu didn't expect Fu Liangxia to be so frank.
She laid out Liang Huiming's plan so casually, looking like a simple high school student.
However, Fu Langshu knew that the opposite was true.
He lowered his eyes and looked at Fu Liangxia who was half lying on the bed and smiling at him.
A beauty is a beauty. Even without makeup and with a sick face, she is still breathtakingly beautiful. As pure as the lilies growing freely in the mountains, beautiful and charming.
But Fu Langshu knew that this was just her appearance.
There is no such thing as a pure and innocent little white flower. From the moment Fu Liangxia was able to stand at the same negotiating table with him, she changed from a beautiful decoration to a carnivorous plant waiting for prey.
It’s not that he doesn’t have scheming, but that he sees things clearly and has already taken sides.
"Aren't you afraid that I don't want to offend Liang Huiming? After all, in order not to annoy him, I dragged you here to act out for him."
Fu Langshu asked her, looking very curious about her answer.
Fu Liangxia thought for a few seconds and said with certainty: "You won't."
"Oh?" He raised his eyebrows slightly.
Fu Liangxia nodded, and said as a matter of course: "I am the one who actually controls the technology. If you want to keep this project, of course you have to stand on my side."
She raised her chin, and the light fell on her face: "Now it's not that I stand on your side, but I want you to stand on my side."
Fu Langshu was stunned when he heard that, then he stared at her and suddenly smiled, and his smile grew bigger and bigger, as if he had heard something very interesting.
Fu Liangxia was confused by his laughter and almost got angry and asked, "What's wrong? Wasn't what I said right?"
Fu Langshu curled his lips and gently ruffled her hair. "No, that's right. How dare I not support you? Wouldn't that mean the project would be disbanded?"
This is the truth, but after he said it, Fu Liangxia felt a strange teasing tone...
But at least she achieved her goal.
Of course, she couldn't drive away the annoying Liang Minghui by herself, but it would be different if she were to restore Langshu.
The Fu family was fully qualified to challenge the Liang family, not to mention Liang Huiming, who was just one of the younger generations of the Liang family. However, although he was capable, Fu Langshu had no reason to go against Liang Huiming for no reason.
Just like when Fu Langshu was favored by Liang Huiming before, the only way he used to reject her was to ask her to act in a gentle way.
So, the chips need to be accumulated little by little.
Fortunately it works.
After a while, Fu Liangxia felt no discomfort, so Fu Langshu drove her back to Fu's house.
Fu Liangxia sat in the back seat, wrapped in the small blanket Fu Haoyao gave her. She curled up into a small body, staring out the window in a daze.
She was looking at the night view outside. Even the sky in the upper city seemed different from that in the lower city. The stars seemed much dimmer against the backdrop of the tall buildings on both sides. Inside the colorful buildings, countless small, brightly lit cubicles were crowded together, filled with employees who stayed behind to work overtime.
This is the financial center, home to the headquarters of all financial institutions and banks. Hundreds of millions, even tens of billions, of dollars are traded here every day, yet none of that money goes to the majority of workers.
The lights flickered in her eyes, but Fu Liangxia didn't know that her appearance at this moment was no less dazzling than the light outside.
Fu Haoyao was so absorbed in looking at her profile that he didn't even notice that he had unconsciously pressed her finger.
Fu Liangxia felt the touch on her fingertips, she looked back with a puzzled look in her eyes.
What's wrong?
Her eyes asked.
Fu Haoyao didn't know what was wrong with him.
He just suddenly felt a little nervous, as if the girl in front of the car window was about to turn into light and disappear.
Then Fu Haoyao reached out his hand.
...Then, he slowly lowered his eyes, looked at the two people's intertwined fingers, and almost flew out, sitting directly on the ground, and his back hit the rear door.
"Bang!"
It sounded like a loud bang that was very painful.
Fu Liangxia was stunned.
"I, I was just helping you swatter mosquitoes." Fu Haoyao explained stutteringly while leaning against the car door. His blue eyes were wide open, a bit like a puppy that was caught stealing canned food, and his whole body showed guilt.
"Yeah, I was swatting a mosquito." Fu Liangxia smiled and stretched out a hand to pull him. "Did you swatter it?"
"Probably." He met her gaze and spoke without hesitation, his hand reaching out with an extremely firm movement.
However, at the moment when the two men held hands, the car suddenly changed direction, and Fu Liangxia, who was sitting in the seat, suddenly lost his balance and fell to the right.
The strength in his hands became her only fulcrum for a moment. She felt dizzy and when she opened her eyes again, she found herself in someone's arms.
Fu Haoyao leaned against the car door, and she clung to him wrapped in a blanket, their clasped hands hidden beneath. Her other hand rested on his sturdy thigh for balance, her entire body curled up in his embrace.
Sensing the scorching temperature and the vaguely hard touch between his hands, Fu Liangxia suddenly retracted his hand, secretly sighing in his heart, he is worthy of being called a diamond high school boy.
"I told you to take good care of yourself. It's so easy to fall. Luckily I'm down there."
Fu Haoyao's voice came from above her head, a little muffled and a little awkward.
"Does it hurt?" he asked.
Actually, it didn't hurt too much. Fu Liangxia was wrapped in a blanket, and he was her human cushion. The bottom of the car was covered with leather mats, which were soft enough.
But why did she feel that this had another meaning?
"All right?" she ventured.
Hearing this, Fu Haoyao hummed a sound, his tone sounding more like disappointment than relief. He raised his head, touched his chest, and muttered, "Strange, have I been neglecting exercise recently..."
It turned out that Fu Haoyao was not asking her if it hurt, but was asking her in disguise if his chest muscles were hard.
Fu Liangxia looked at him, speechless.
