Chapter 345: It's really the wealth that makes the cowardly brave
In the box, a luxurious table of wine and food was already prepared. Shen Ci raised his head from his seat and looked towards the door.
Outside the door, Fu Yong, who still hadn't figured out what was going on, hesitated and didn't dare to go in. Shi Kai behind him saw this and pushed him impatiently. Fu Yong was caught off guard and stumbled when he rushed in headfirst, almost falling down.
He quickly steadied himself, subconsciously raised his head and glanced around, and then stood there in a daze.
The private room is spacious and bright, and the new Chinese style of decoration looks particularly classy. The large round table in the middle is filled with various tempting dishes.
A pretty young girl sat opposite him, looking at him with a smile on her face.
Fu Yong, whose mind was already full of questions, was now even more bewildered. He looked around nervously, and finally looked at Shi Kai, who was standing behind him, and whispered, "Little brother, did you find the wrong person?"
Shi Kai said nothing, walked to the position behind Chen Ci and stood with Duan Duan.
Only then did Shen Ci speak faintly: "I didn't find the wrong person, Second Uncle!"
Fu Yong was shocked when he heard this, and his eyes widened.
Second uncle?
"You..." At this time, he looked at Shen Ci carefully again, and seemed to have realized that he saw some shadows of his younger brother and Shen Jingjing, so he took two steps forward in astonishment and said infatuatedly: "Are you Ah Ci?"
Chen Ci sat motionless in his seat, without the humility that a younger generation should have towards their elders. He just nodded with a smile: "Second uncle, it's our first meeting, please take a seat!"
Although she had a smile on her face, her tone was very distant. The "Second Uncle" she called sounded more like a name than a respectful title for an elder.
Fu Yong came back to his senses, still a little absent-minded, and looked at the two young men in black standing behind Chen Ci. He slowly moved to the position closest to the door, pulled out a chair and sat down.
Then he forced the corners of his mouth, trying to show a friendly smile, but unfortunately the smile was really ugly!
"Ah Ci, look...if you want to see Second Uncle, you don't have to do it this way, right?" He smiled awkwardly, "Right?"
Unlike his attitude towards Shen Xing, which was still somewhat tough and elder-like.
Facing Shen Ci's aura and the strong pressure of the entire surrounding atmosphere, Fu Yong felt only apprehensive and uneasy, even a little frightened!
Shen Ci didn't respond to his words, nor did she care what Fu Yong said. She just looked at him and said to herself, "Second uncle, I'm twenty-one years old this year, and this is the first time we meet."
"I've met Uncle a few times, but you two don't look alike!"
Fu Yong's eyes darted around, and he replied, "Yes, they don't look alike. Your aunt and uncle look alike."
"Oh, I have an aunt I haven't met yet..."
"Aci, I just came to see the stars, nothing else." Fu Yong whispered.
Shen Ci nodded: "Didn't you see it yesterday? When does Second Uncle plan to leave?"
"Let's go... There's no rush to go. This is my first time in Longcheng, and I wanted to take a stroll around."
Fu Yong's mind was spinning, and he said whatever he thought of, just trying to deal with Shen Ci.
But how could Shen Ci not know the little tricks in his mind?
"Want to go for a stroll?" Chen Ci's smile widened a little as he greeted enthusiastically, "Well, it just so happens that my two friends are both locals in Longcheng. Let them take Second Uncle around for a stroll? Otherwise, Second Uncle, who's unfamiliar with the place, would be like a headless fly all day long. If he gets lost, he'll get lost and end up at the gate of Second Middle School."
Fu Yong: “…”
He is not stupid, how could he not hear the sarcasm in Shen Ci's words?
Chen Ci picked up the chopsticks and ate while leisurely looking at Fu Yong who was sitting there hunched over. Compared with his uncle Fu Kang, he was more like an ordinary citizen. When facing someone stronger than himself, he would instantly lose his arrogance.
With such courage, he actually dared to come to Longcheng to look for stars?
It's true that wealth gives cowards courage!
Seeing Fu Yong was silent, Chen Ci was too lazy to waste words with him and said directly, "Xingxing is now in the last semester of his senior year. The reason I transferred him to Longcheng at such a critical juncture is to avoid harassment from your Fu family."
"I didn't expect you to be so persistent that you could run all the way to Longcheng to find Xingxing's school!"
At this point, Chen Ci stopped eating and looked up at Fu Yong. "I'm really curious, if Xingxing was included in the Fu family's demolition, how much more money would you get? It's so persevering that you don't even care about such a major event in her life as Xingxing's upcoming college entrance exam!"
Fu Yong raised his head when he heard this, with some surprise in his eyes, as if he didn’t expect Shen Ci to know about the demolition of the Fu family.
Later, he remembered that his eldest brother had told him that Shen Yingying knew about the demolition, so it was not surprising that Shen Ci knew about it.
It was like the last piece of fig leaf had been torn off, and the secret that the Fu family had kept secret was no longer a secret. Fu Yong actually felt a little relieved.
"It's not clear exactly how much more each person can get, but it's definitely not a small amount." Fu Yong looked at Chen Ci and said earnestly, "Ah Ci, as long as Xingxing moves his account back, this is free money. If you want, you can move back too. It would be a waste!"
"Then can you give us all of Xingxing's and my share?" Chen Ci still kept smiling: "If you can give us all, I will let Ali move back too. Just like Second Uncle said, it's better to take advantage of free money!"
After hearing what Chen Ci said, Fu Yong hesitated subconsciously, and then he laughed dryly and pretended to agree: "Of course I can give it all to you. It's all for your sake. After all, you are all children of the old Fu family!"
As a result, Chen Ci's smile faded, and then he uttered an undisguised sneer: "Second Uncle, I feel guilty for him when he said this. Second Uncle, are you thinking that the most urgent thing is to get the account back first, and the key is to get the money first. How to divide it later is of course up to you guys."
Fu Yong blushed upon hearing this and hurriedly explained: "How could that be? How could you think so much about Second Uncle..."
"Then what should I think?" Shen Ci's face turned even colder as she looked at him aggressively and asked, "If the Fu family is really as frank and kind-hearted as Second Uncle said, then why did they hide it in the beginning?"
"In the final analysis, it's because Xingxing is innocent and inexperienced, making her easy for you to manipulate. Once my mom or I find out about this, your wishful thinking will be completely shattered!"
Fu Yong: “…”
Shen Ci's aura was too overwhelming, making him unable to resist.
I've heard from my eldest brother a long time ago that Ah Ci has a very opinionated and strong personality. When I met him for the first time out of the blue, I realized that what my eldest brother said was true!
