His question caught me off guard.
Beichen and I grew up together. In my eyes, he is my family. He listens to me and relies on me, so naturally I trust him...
"No matter what, Beichen wouldn't hurt me." After regaining my senses, I casually replied to him.
Fu Yanshen's brows furrowed slightly with anger. "He wants you."
He almost blurted it out.
I remained silent, watching him calmly, my expression seeming to say: So what?
He looked utterly defeated and fell silent.
I hurriedly left the ward and rushed to the company.
After reviewing the CCTV footage from the day Lin Xiao called me, I still couldn't see who had touched my phone. But the only people who entered and left my office that day were Mengmeng and... Beichen.
Mengmeng is just like her name suggests—naive and innocent. She has neither the guts nor the motive to sow discord between me and Fu Yanshen.
And Beichen...
His hostility towards Fu Yanshen was written all over his face. I thought that his hostility towards him was to avenge the hurt I had suffered at Fu Yanshen's hands in the past.
Looking back now, I realize he had a crush on me for so many years...
He had that motive.
...
Before I left work that evening, Beichen called and invited me to dinner, but I declined, saying I had other commitments.
Although he wouldn't harm me, I don't want him to have any further improper thoughts about me, or give him the opportunity to get close to me.
Even though I still have a brotherly bond with him from when we grew up together.
However, I am now someone who doesn't cling to emotions.
I used to value and rely too much on family and love, and I gave too much, which is why I was hurt so deeply.
Now that they've learned their lesson, they won't give up so easily.
Bei Chen didn't force me. That evening, I invited Mu Ye and Shen Hanxing to have hot pot at Mu Ye's villa, thus avoiding him.
...
I met Beichen again at a business dinner in the Beijing entertainment circle.
Although his parents went bankrupt and his mother is still in jail, the old patriarch of the Sheng family has not yet fallen from power, and he, the eldest grandson of the Sheng family, is still a star and a highly sought-after prince.
In particular, his success in starting his own business overseas over the past two years has made him even more sought after by mothers-in-law in Beijing's elite circles.
Many young ladies of marriageable age wanted to snag him as a wealthy husband.
Under the dazzling lights, Bei Chen, dressed in a bespoke suit, held a champagne glass and chatted with a group of "mothers-in-law". He seemed polite, with an elegant smile on his lips, but his eyes shone with a cold light like shattered ice.
"Young Master Sheng is walking this way!"
Who are you looking for?
"Are you looking for Luo Luo or Lu Lu?"
"Is it Lulu? I heard that the old master of the Sheng family intends for our Lulu to marry Young Master Sheng."
Seeing Beichen approaching, the women around him chattered excitedly, their eyes filled with admiration.
"He walked towards Luo Luo."
Listening to the voice of one of the young ladies, I looked at Luo Luo beside me. She was looking down at her phone, chatting with someone on WeChat.
"Typing...it's already sending it!"
"Hmph, I'm ignoring you."
Luo Luo continued talking to herself.
He said he wouldn't pay attention, but he kept staring at the screen.
"I'm in love," I said firmly, leaning closer to her.
"It's not even close to happening yet. They say it's easy for a woman to pursue a man, but there's a mountain between us!" Luo Luo pouted and said angrily.
I looked at her in surprise, "There's a man our Miss Song can't win over? Which family's young master is so ungrateful?"
"Not a young master, but he's the kind of guy I like, a real man!" Luo Luo looked at me, her eyebrows dancing with excitement.
She has a pair of sweet eyes with under-eye bags, and her eyes are full of starlight.
It seems like she genuinely likes it.
"Tell me quickly, who is it!" I asked with concern and curiosity.
Suddenly, the image of Fu Ren holding the peace charm flashed into my mind.
Could it really be... him?
"He replied to me! He replied to me!" Luo Luo was so excited she almost jumped up and down.
"sister."
Just as I was about to lean closer to see who it was, Bei Chen's gentle voice rang out.
When I turned around, he was already sitting down next to me, his handsome face turned to the side, his dark eyes looking at me with a glint of light, and his eyes filled with a gentle smile.
I smiled and said, "You're here."
All the young ladies' eyes fell on us.
"Could Young Master Sheng still have feelings for his sister? His attitude towards Qiao Qiao is completely different from how he treats other people."
"It's all because Sheng Qiaoqiao seduced him. He couldn't be a rich girl, so now he wants to be Mrs. Sheng. Disgusting."
Hearing those harsh words, I looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person slandering me was none other than Qin Lulu.
Has her hair grown back? And she still dares to go against me.
"Looks like another big shot is coming!"
The group of young ladies all turned to look at the entrance of the banquet hall.
The man wore a perfectly tailored bespoke suit that accentuated his slender yet robust physique, his chest was prominent, and he possessed a stunningly handsome, pale face that exuded an overbearing aura.
It is Fu Yanshen.
A group of "fathers-in-law" greeted him again.
When I saw that there was a woman beside him, my hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly.
The woman had long, wavy hair and wore a champagne-colored, silky, form-fitting dress that accentuated her curves, revealing a full bust and a slender waist. Her peach-shaped buttocks swayed as she walked.
She had a stunningly beautiful face, with fair skin that seemed to glow, deep-set, captivating European-style eyes, and fiery red lips; her whole face had a somewhat mixed-race look.
Looking at her, the word "stunner" popped into my mind.
I had never seen her before.
Her slender arm was hooked around Fu Yanshen's arm, and she greeted the bigwigs with a smile.
