Chapter 234 He Wants to Taste It
At this moment, guests arrived one after another. With so many people around, Lin Zhixin deliberately avoided the cameras and took Fu Chong to a secluded corner in the back garden to talk.
She knew that the Xie family and the Fu family were fierce rivals, constantly at odds. If Xie Jinghuai found out about her private contact with Fu Chong, it would create a hidden danger for her to frame Jiang Shiyuan later.
Last time, when Guan Na was in trouble, she relied on her status as Xie Jinghuai's savior, crying and playing the victim to gain his sympathy, which allowed her to get through the crisis smoothly without any real danger.
If it were any other woman, even if it was just suspicion, Brother Jinghuai would never trust or favor her again; he would have kicked her away like trash long ago.
Therefore, she had to proceed with extreme caution and tread carefully at every step from then on.
"Miss Lin called me to such a secluded place. Anyone who didn't know better would think that we had something going on, or that we were going to do something shady."
Fu Chong raised an eyebrow with a flippant smile. He had a cigarette in his hand, took a puff, and blew a smoke ring directly at Lin Zhixin. "But you're quite good at catering to his tastes, knowing that I like to play exciting games. You're so well-behaved and sensible, no wonder Xie Jinghuai always keeps you by his side."
So frivolous, completely disregarding her, the apple of Xie Jinghuai's eye; their apparent intimacy was actually more of a teasing.
His manner towards Jiang Shiyuan was completely different from how he treated her with politeness.
Disgust flashed in Lin Zhixin's eyes. She coughed softly and spoke coldly:
"President Fu is always joking. You don't have those feelings for me, but you know perfectly well what your thoughts are about my sister."
Fu Chong laughed with a carefree and irreverent air. "I just met President Jiang and I want to get to know each other better and discuss business. What? It's none of your business what kind of man my half-sister associates with?"
"Why can't I care? My sister is a member of the Lin family, so of course I have to be responsible for the reputation of the Lin family, and I don't want her marriage with my brother-in-law to be affected."
Lin Zhixin adopted a righteous and indignant demeanor, pretending to be concerned for Jiang Shiyuan, and looked at the man seriously, "President Fu, if you want to find a woman, you can find any kind, but as for my sister, I hope you will give up this idea as soon as possible, otherwise it will not be good for anyone."
Fu Chong's pupils dilated in surprise, and he pressed, "President Jiang is married? To whom?!"
Lin Zhixin feigned surprise, "Oh, Mr. Fu, didn't you know? My sister is not only married, but also has a five-year-old son."
Marriage, five-year-old son?!
Fu Chong immediately thought of the photo of Jiang Shiyuan and Fu Chen's son laughing and talking intimately. His face stiffened instantly, and the cigarette in his mouth almost fell off!
Could it be... that the wife Fu Chen mentioned who "died of a serious illness" was Jiang Shiyuan?!
Damn it, that bastard has been busy all these years. He actually got such a beautiful woman like Jiang Shiyuan pregnant, kept her outside, and even secretly gave birth to the eldest grandson of the Fu family!
First settle down and start a family, then build a career. Moreover, Jiang Shiyuan gave birth to a son. Although it is still a bit of a step up for Miss Jiang to marry into the prestigious Fu family, Fu Chen is an unfavored and marginalized person. If she can get a title from him, her father might not necessarily refuse to accept Miss Jiang.
But why did Fu Chen keep the child's mother's identity a secret? What is he really doing...?
Fu Chong's mind was in a mess, and he began to underestimate Jiang Shiyuan.
It's not that she's been married or had children.
But the fact that she actually let that stray dog Fu Chen sleep with her is just too damn degrading!
However, Lin Zhixin's next words were like a heavy blow to the back of Fu Chong's head:
“My brother-in-law is President Xie Jinghuai. They have been married for five years and are still married. However, they were secretly married back then, and my sister never showed her face in public and lived a secluded life, so not many people outside knew about it.”
"Who?!" Fu Chong stared in disbelief, the cigarette falling completely from his lips.
Lin Zhixin looked at his surprised expression and sneered inwardly, "Xie Jinghuai, how come President Fu is so young and his hearing is already impaired?"
Fu Chong's pupils dilated, and he clenched his back teeth so tightly that his cheeks tightened.
"She's Xie Jinghuai's wife? How could she be Xie Jinghuai's wife..."
The two didn't interact at all during the Aofeng Technology Conference!
Even when Jiang Shiyuan was on the verge of being kicked out, Xie Jinghuai turned a blind eye and didn't utter a single word.
Are they a married couple? Even a passing dog would take a look!
Lin Zhixin sighed helplessly, "Sigh, it's no wonder President Fu couldn't tell, probably no one here could either. My sister and brother-in-law's relationship has been quite tense lately. My sister hasn't been home for many days, and she and brother-in-law are having a fight."
At this sensitive time, I don't want you, Mr. Fu, to create any more trouble and make things worse for my sister and brother-in-law's marriage, or to put my sister in a difficult position. Her life in the Xie family is already very difficult..."
He appeared to be thinking of Jiang Shiyuan's best interests.
Fu Chong's eyes flashed with suspicion. "Are they getting a divorce?"
Lin Zhixin bit her lip tightly, as if she found it difficult to speak.
It was accepted by default.
Fu Chong narrowed his sharp eyes, pressed his tongue against his cheek, and the desire that had been suppressed by reason was stirring again.
So, Jiang Shiyuan has nothing to do with Fu Chen, but is Xie Jinghuai's woman?
interesting.
He was by nature competitive and ruthless, and enjoyed taking things by force. The more difficult the task, and the more unattainable the person, the more he wanted to get his hands on them.
Even if he couldn't possess it, he still wanted to experience the taste.
Xie Jinghuai had been arrogant in business for far too long, and he had long disliked him. If he could get his hands on Xie Jinghuai's woman, he would give him a good thrashing...
Just thinking about this kind of revenge is enough to give me a brain orgasm.
“Miss Lin, if I may be frank, but if your sister divorces Xie Jinghuai, wouldn’t you be the biggest beneficiary?” Fu Chong looked at her with a mocking gaze.
Lin Zhixin's brows were furrowed with worry, and she looked exactly like a victim. "I know that the outside world has a lot of criticism of me and has been spreading rumors about my relationship with my brother-in-law, but my brother-in-law and I really have nothing going on... These rumors are really making me very painful."
Mr. Fu, my sister and brother-in-law's marriage was arranged by Madam Xie, and they didn't have much of an emotional foundation to begin with. Over the years, my sister has lived on thin ice in the Xie family, carefully maintaining her relationship with her brother-in-law. If something were to happen between you and my sister at this crucial juncture… how could their marriage possibly continue?
"Mr. Fu, if you truly admire my sister, please don't put her in a difficult position, okay?"
These words are packed with information.
Lin Zhixin kept implying that Xie Jinghuai didn't love Jiang Shiyuan and that the Xie family didn't take this young mistress seriously at all.
Their marriage was already dead in name only!
This is indirectly telling Fu Chong—
Jiang Shiyuan is not a noblewoman, but a wealthy woman abandoned by her husband who can be touched and bullied at will!
She knew that this man was arrogant and domineering, with a rebellious nature; the more she forbade him to do something, the more he would encourage it.
Upon hearing this, Fu Chong scoffed disdainfully, "Ha, Miss Lin's clever tongue is truly more eloquent than her singing."
"..." Lin Zhixin's face stiffened.
"However, thank you for telling me so much. Your sister is so lucky to have such a thoughtful sister like you."
After saying that, the man strode away.
Lin Zhixin stared at his back with a sinister look, the cold light flashing in her eyes like the forked tongues of two venomous snakes.
Just then, Liu Nianrou called.
"mom."
"Xinxin, why didn't you answer my call earlier?"
Unable to contain herself, Liu Nianrou asked, "So? Was that little bitch kicked out afterward?"
Lin Zhixin's face darkened. "No."
Liu Nianrou screamed like a chicken, "What happened? Jing Huai didn't make a move?!"
"Brother Jinghuai made a move, but then some old woman suddenly appeared. I heard she's the wife of the chairman of RX Group. She helped Jiang Shiyuan out of that predicament. I'm so angry!"
Seeing that no one was around, Lin Zhixin revealed her willful side, stomping her foot angrily, "Not only that, that bitch has now transformed into the president of Eternal Technology!"
"Mom, isn't this ridiculous? Jiang Shiyuan isn't highly educated; she's a complete idiot. That such a stupid woman could be a CEO? It's laughable!"
"That little bitch went to manage the Jiang family's half-dead company?"
Liu Nianrou was clearly surprised. She remained silent for a long time before letting out a contemptuous laugh. "Hmph, well, it's good that Eternity has completely rotted in that little bitch's hands. It's a fitting end. I wonder if her unlucky mother can rest in peace down there."
However, it's a real pity that we didn't invite Jiang Shiyuan along with us during such a great opportunity.
"Mom, what's the pity? I had an unexpected gain today."
"What unexpected gain?"
Lin Zhixin's red lips curled into a wicked smile, "Just you wait and see, soon, that bitch will suffer a humiliating fall from which she can't get up."
...
The banquet started on time. Compared to the more formal conference, the banquet was a scene of elegant attire and extravagant luxury.
Everywhere you look, you can feel the atmosphere of the upper class.
To match the banquet atmosphere, Jiang Shiyuan did not wear the champagne-colored suit she wore during the day. Instead, she chose a cream-colored off-the-shoulder top and paired it with a bright yellow silk long skirt. Her black hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and she looked like a fragrant and beautiful tulip.
A flower of the high mountains, its beauty is so captivating that one forgets the mundane world.
As soon as Jiang Shiyuan appeared, she once again became the focus of attention, and the men's eyes were once again treated to a delightful visual feast.
"Wow! Mr. Jiang, you're wasting your talents by being in the business world!"
Yin Meng cupped her face in her hands, her eyes practically bubbling with rainbow bubbles as she looked at Jiang Shiyuan. "You should walk the red carpet, debut as a big star, and have all the men in the world fall for you, and all the women be green with envy!"
Jiang Shiyuan gave a helpless bitter smile, "Jealousy has completely distorted my appearance, and in the end, everyone is drowning me with their spittle."
Yin Meng: "..."
"I'm here on a routine basis. I wouldn't have shown up tonight if I hadn't promised Fu Chong. I don't like social engagements."
Jiang Shiyuan deliberately walked to a corner and sighed softly, "Besides, the business world is not my ambition. I just want to follow my teacher, Professor Xue, and devote myself to scientific research. Being able to stay in the laboratory all day is the happiest thing for me."
Unfortunately, reality forced her to shoulder the burden, prop up the crumbling edifice, and carry on with a heavy load.
"Sister Shiyuan..."
Yin Meng's throat tightened, and just as she was about to say something comforting, her eyes widened suddenly. "Look, President Fu is here!"
Jiang Shiyuan's beautiful eyes darted towards the door—
Sure enough, Fu Chong, dressed smartly in a suit, strode in and looked around.
Jiang Shiyuan pursed her lips, hesitating whether to go over, when she saw him answer a phone call and then turn around and leave the banquet hall.
...
At the end of the corridor, under the dim light, two tall and powerful figures faced each other in a somber standoff.
Xie Jinghuai's phoenix eyes were dark and stormy, like a large tree with dark clouds pressing down on it, standing in front of Fu Chong.
The two stood there for a while before the man coldly opened his mouth.
Just as he was about to speak, Fu Chong slightly raised his chin, his tone casual and commanding:
"Mr. Xie, when do you plan to get a divorce?"
