Chapter 175: I want to introduce someone to Fu Jingshen

"Xiao Fu? Why are you here?"

Mr. Bai greeted him with a smile, and Fu Jingshen handed him the thing in his hand.

"I want to discuss some business matters with you, Uncle Bai. This is a New Year's gift for you."

"Come on, and be so polite." Mr. Bai accepted the gift and handed it to the butler to take it in.

"But I think I came at a bad time. How about we talk another day?"

Fu Jingshen took a look and saw that there were many people present and he, an outsider, seemed very abrupt.

Mr. Bai was hospitable and liked Fu Jingshen very much, so he naturally wouldn't let him leave like that, so he asked.

"Have you had dinner?"

Fu Jingshen shook his head, "No, I came directly from the company."

"Then stay for dinner, and then we'll go to the study to talk business."

Before Fu Jingshen could even refute, he was dragged by Mr. Bai to the restaurant to sit down.

When he passed by Shu Yue, he glanced at her sideways, his deep eyes staring straight at her.

Those eyes seemed to contain some kind of magic. Just a quick glance from them made Shu Yue's heart skip a beat.

[Has it been a long time since we last met?] Why do I feel nervous? My heartbeat seemed to speed up too. 】

Shu Yue covered her chest, and her heartbeat did speed up a bit.

When Fu Jingshen heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up.

There were tables for adults and tables for children. As a junior, Shu Yue also sat at the children's table.

The youngest at this table is three years old, and the oldest is twenty, which is Shu Yue.

"Yueyue, please take care of these brothers and sisters, nephews and nieces. Please help with the dishes that cannot be picked up."

The aunt gave Shu Yue some instructions, then went back to her seat with a smile on her face.

"Auntie, I want to eat that, please pick it up for me."

"Mom, mom, I don't want to sit here, I want to sit with you."

"My bowl is prettier than yours. Yours is so ugly."

"Yours is ugly, mine is the prettiest."

The children were making so much noise that Shu Yue couldn't control them. She felt like her head was getting bigger from all the noise.

[Don't be angry, don't be angry. It's New Year's Day and getting angry is bad for your health. This is at the Bai family's house and it's my first time here. I can't lose my temper. 】

Shu Yue took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and faced her brothers and sisters, nephews and nieces with a smile.

Fu Jingshen's eyes were always on Shu Yue until Mr. Bai called him, and then he came back to his senses.

"Xiao Fu, try this wine."

Mr. Bai motioned for him to pick up the wine glass.

Fu Jingshen clinked glasses with him and took a sip.

"The wine has a rich aroma, a sweet aftertaste, and some lingering flavor."

Mr. Bai smiled and said, "This is the wine I brewed myself. It's good, isn't it? You all should try it."

Although it was not New Year's Eve, all the Bai family members were present.

"By the way, I remember Mr. Xiao Fu is not married yet, right?"

At the dinner table, Mr. Bai’s nephew Bai Lang suddenly spoke.

Fu Jingshen looked at him and said, "No."

"What a coincidence! My eldest daughter is 26 years old this year, the same age as Mr. Fu. How about you two get to know each other?"

Bai Lang smiled and pushed his daughter out.

Although Shu Yue was busy with the affairs of these little brats, she had sharp ears and caught the key information immediately.

【What? Are you interested in my man? 】

Shu Yue straightened her back, looked towards the table, and her eyes fell on her cousin.

My cousin has long, shiny black hair, wears a white knitted skirt, smiles without showing her teeth, and her every move reveals her elegance and intelligence. She is the type that many men would like.

On the other hand, Fu Jingshen nodded politely to his cousin, then immediately looked away.

"I already have a girlfriend."

As soon as these words were spoken, Shu Yue clearly saw that her cousin's hand that was lifting her hair paused for a moment, and the smile on her face froze instantly.

Mr. Bai also looked at Fu Jingshen in surprise.

"How come I've never heard that you have a girlfriend? Who is she? Do I know her?"

Mr. Bai was also a gossiper, and he asked Fu Jingshen several questions.

Zhou Lan quickly grabbed his hand and said, "Dad, they are just young people dating, why are you so excited? Once Xiao Fu makes it public, you will know who the other person is."

Zhou Lan was also afraid that he would ask further, so she brought up the relationship between Shu Yue and Fu Jingshen.

Fu Jingshen is indeed a nice person, but the environment and world he lives in are very different from Shu Yue's. There are so many people from the Bai family present. If their relationship is exposed, with dozens of mouths, the whole Shangjing will know soon, and the Fu family will know too.

The relationships among the people in the Fu family are not like those in the Bai family, where people gossip about other people's private affairs. They are a place where people are willing to disregard other people's lives for their own interests.

Zhou Lan didn't want to be the one to break up the couple, and didn't want to see Shu Yue separate from the person she loved, but she also didn't want her to get hurt, so she tried to keep the matter a secret.

"That's true, let's eat."

After Mr. Bai gave the order, no one mentioned the matter again.

When Shu Yue withdrew her gaze, Fu Jingshen happened to look over. When the two were looking at each other, Zhou Lan also turned her head to look over and glared at Shu Yue.

There are so many people here, are you sure you want to look at each other lovingly?

She winked and Shu Yue quickly understood what she meant and immediately looked away.

After dinner, Shu Yue was stopped by the Bai family, who asked her all sorts of questions and made her unable to get away.

Fu Jingshen and Mr. Bai went to the study to discuss important matters.

"Are you saying that the Yin family in the eastern suburbs and the Shangguan family are dealing in drugs?"

Mr. Bai stood by the window and looked back at Fu Jingshen with a serious face.

"To be precise, they are preparing to sell the raw materials, but they haven't started yet. I have some evidence."

"This is not allowed in China. Why did you come to tell me instead of reporting it? Do you have any other ideas?"

Mr. Bai saw through the purpose of Fu Jingshen's visit at a glance.

Fu Jingshen briefly told Mr. Bai about his plan. Mr. Bai stared at the heavy snow drifting under the street lights outside the window without saying a word.

"Uncle Bai, I just want to borrow those capable people under your command to go undercover in their base, so that I can have a better grasp of their movements and plans."

When Mr. Bai was in society, he got to know many gangsters, and he knew workers from all walks of life and had good relationships with them. It was because he could get along well with these people that he was able to achieve what he has today with his own abilities.

"This is something you can get out of trouble for if you report it. You did it so ruthlessly. Is there another reason?"

Mr. Bai's mind worked quickly. "I've thought about it. It's okay for you and the Yin family, but it doesn't seem to be good for you to have a bad relationship with the Shangguan family. But you want to kill them all and wait until they start selling opium to close in. No matter how I think about it, it doesn't make sense."

"Unless you have some deep hatred with the Shangguan family and you are doing this to seek revenge, I can't think of anything else."
