Sun Meifen's eyes and brows revealed a calculating nature.
Fu Qingyan nodded and chuckled, "Mom, I understand!" She then handed her her phone.
The chat box was full of messages she sent to Jiang Can, including daily greetings and many everyday sharing sessions.
However, she usually had to send about twenty messages before she would get a faint "hmm" from Jiang Can.
As Sun Meifen looked at it, her brows furrowed again.
She felt that wasn't enough.
"Qingyan, why do you keep sending her these useless messages?"
Fu Qingyan's eyes widened. "Didn't you say I should get close to her and become her only friend in this family..."
"Are you stupid!" Sun Meifen emphasized. "Yes, I'm asking you to curry favor with her, but I want you to say something useful!"
"Useful?"
"When a woman is pregnant, that's when a man feels most empty!" Sun Meifen declared confidently. "When you chat with her, you should ask her where your cousin is and what he's doing! Silly girl, do I need to teach you the rest?"
Fu Qingyan lowered her head slightly, blushed, and smiled.
She liked Huo Zhixing, and because they were not related by blood, Fu Qingyan never hid her feelings for him.
However, due to their status as cousins, this affection cannot be openly expressed.
But Sun Meifen doesn't think so.
In her mind, there was no man who couldn't be taken away, and no cat that wouldn't steal fish. When she married into the Fu family with her child, she faced countless criticisms. She knew herself that if Fu Chengwei hadn't been an idiot, she would never have been able to reach the Fu family's threshold in eight lifetimes.
But it is precisely because Fu Chengwei is a fool that her true intentions are exposed.
So she kept holding her breath.
She vowed to make her daughter's marriage a grand affair, a movie queen, a red carpet star, and a person of high status! She wanted to show everyone in the Fu family who had mocked, despised, and humiliated her that one day, she and her daughter would make them unable to reach her!
If Fu Qingyan could hook up with Huo Zhixing, it would not only make her proud but also severely humiliate the Fu family.
In particular, it slapped Fu Xiuyu in the face.
Who told her to always look down on them, mother and daughter, with such arrogance!
"Qingyan," Sun Meifen took a deep breath and looked at her quietly, "You must make your mother proud, you understand?"
"Um!"
Fu Qingyan nodded vigorously.
They had no idea that Tang Yilan, who was hiding behind the pillar, had overheard their entire conversation.
Tang Yilan originally intended to return to her studio to edit the video, but as soon as she reached the door, she heard this wonderful drama.
She gave a cold laugh, took out her phone, and sent a text message to her assistant:
"I'm not going back to the studio. I'll be editing the film this afternoon, and I won't see any visitors!"
...
As Jiang Can walked towards the parking lot, she marveled at how quickly Tang Yilan edited the video.
"I have to say, you're amazing! Isn't it supposed to be an hour? I feel like you're down here before I've even finished a cup of coffee!"
"Pregnant women should drink less coffee!" Tang Yilan looked at her intently, reaching out to wipe her lips, his gentleness tinged with a strong sense of protectiveness. "Caffeine affects sleep, which is bad for the baby! From now on, one cup every three days, no more! Do you understand?"
Jiang Can smiled, took her arm, and rested her head on her shoulder.
"Sigh, if I hadn't met Huo Zhixing first, I would definitely have been won over by you!"
"Grandma, you can't say things like that! First of all, I'm straight, and secondly, you're standing so close to me. This underground parking lot is full of security cameras. If some jealous guy sees this, I'll lose my job!"
The two walked towards the parking space laughing and joking, and just then they saw Sun Meifen and Fu Qingyan getting into the car not far away.
Jiang Can was taken aback. Tang Yilan asked her what was wrong, and she pointed over there.
"Oh, isn't this that nobody?" Tang Yilan said with a mocking expression.
"That's Fu Qingyan." Jiang Can's eyes widened. "You know her?"
“I know her!” Tang Yilan shrugged. “She said she’s President Fu’s niece and sends me photos every day. But I felt she didn’t fit the image of the female lead, so I didn’t respond. And now, she’s here again, waiting at the door of my studio…”
"Oh, right, Can Can!" Tang Yilan suddenly remembered something, "Do you know why those employees treated you like an intern and made things difficult for you?"
...
A few days later, Huo Zhixing returned from Paris, bringing back three business contracts.
These past few days, every time Jiang Can opened the financial news, she could see Huo Zhixing. He was already so handsome on screen that it made people want to scream, but Jiang Can still thought Huo Zhixing was even more handsome in real life.
He was very charming on the show, speaking fluent English and French.
The well-tailored black suit accentuated his cool and stylish demeanor. His unsmiling appearance naturally exuded a powerful and imposing aura, making people hesitant to approach him, yet unable to resist doing so.
Jiang Can's eyes crinkled into crescents, her dimples brimming with sweetness.
Huo Zhixing stood on the balcony and saw her watching that replay again, and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Young Master? Are you listening?" Fang Han's voice came from the other end.
Huo Zhixing snapped out of his daze and coughed twice. "Yes, I heard you."
"So... what do you plan to do?"
Although Fang Han was far away in the central city, he was still monitoring the Fu family's every move. He reported everything that happened in the Fu family building to Huo Zhixing.
Especially the part where Jiang Can is mistaken for an intern.
He not only retrieved the surveillance footage from that time, but also obtained a detailed account of the events from Tang Yilan.
“Those people were all acting under Fu Qingyan’s orders,” Huo Zhixing sneered. “It seems she and my aunt are up to something again.”
"I heard that Fu Qingyan wants to be in Tang Yilan's drama, and Sun Meifen is actively bidding for it."
Which bid?
"Young Master, have you forgotten?" Fang Han chuckled. "It's the order from Fashion Week!"
Huo Zhixing remembered.
Ha, Sun Meifen really has quite an appetite!
However, this way...
He turned to look around the room and saw that Jiang Can had changed the channel and was doing prenatal yoga with a TV program.
Doesn't she always find it boring in England?
Huo Zhixing smiled slightly. "Then let's find her something to do!"
