Chapter 90 In Young Master's world, you are incomparably important...
"Isn't the young master's arrangement just to let you eat as much as you want?"
As soon as He Xiaduo arrived, Fu Qingli took his leave.
After hearing Lin Xi's explanation, He Xiaduo couldn't help but laugh, "I think the young master really spoils you unconditionally. He just wants you to be happy."
Lin Xi blushed, feeling quite embarrassed by her statement: "No, he just respects my decisions. Actually, he's usually very strict. When we were taking the medicinal diet before, the doctor emphasized that I couldn't eat spicy food, and he really wouldn't let me touch it at all."
"Medicinal cuisine? Are you trying to conceive?" He Xiaduo's thoughts wandered.
“No,” Lin Xi shook her head. “Right now, I’m just getting my body in good condition. The doctor said I should wait six months before trying to conceive.”
Lin Xi paused, her words hesitant, "Duoduo, you know, I haven't been in good shape these past few years. I've been taking antidepressants, and those medications are very harmful to the body, requiring a long period of recuperation."
"Actually, I'm quite worried. Although the doctor said I'm in a good condition to have a baby and the medication won't affect my pregnancy, I'm still a little worried about whether I can endure the pain of pregnancy and whether I can have a healthy child."
"this……"
He Xiaduo couldn't help but feel sorry for Lin Xi after hearing about these things. She reached out and hugged her to comfort her, saying, "The doctor said it's nothing serious, so there's definitely no problem. Don't put so much pressure on yourself, just relax."
"I know, I'm just afraid that if it doesn't work out, I'll disappoint Fu Qingli."
"Does the young master really want a child?" He Xiaduo felt that Fu Qingli was the kind of person who would always put Lin Xi first, and didn't seem to have a particular obsession with having children.
He said to let nature take its course, that it doesn't matter whether it comes or not, and that my health is the most important thing.
This aligns with Fu Qingli's thinking. He Xiaduo nodded in agreement: "That's right, he said so, so why are you so anxious? It's not good for your recovery."
"Because I saw that he bought books on pregnancy and parenting, I think he actually wants a child, but my state of mind..."
Lin Xi knew she should believe what Fu Qingli said, but seeing how much Fu Qingli looked forward to having a child, she couldn't help but feel nervous and overthink, afraid that she would disappoint him in the end.
She also wanted to make Fu Qingli happy, instead of him worrying about her all the time.
Hearing this, He Xiaduo frowned: "Xiaoxi, having a child is not a trivial matter. You should communicate more with the young master so that you both know what the other is thinking. This way, you can avoid some unfounded thoughts."
“You and the young master have had a tough journey together. You should know that if you could have communicated more deeply about some things, there wouldn’t have been such a big misunderstanding between you, right? You’ve already stumbled once, you can’t repeat the same mistake.”
Realizing her words were a bit harsh and afraid of upsetting Lin Xi, she quickly tried to salvage the situation, saying, "Don't be angry with what I'm saying, but I've seen some things. I can see how much the young master loves you. You don't know how anxious he was when he couldn't find you that year and came to me for help. After that, every day, he would ask me if I had any news about you, even though he had just gone to such lengths to find you."
Later, news of Fu Qingli suddenly stopped.
He Xiaduo thought that a year of searching had finally exhausted Fu Qingli's feelings for Lin Xi.
She felt sorry for Lin Xi, who had been abandoned so quickly after more than ten years of relationship.
In a fit of rage and resentment, she sent a message to Fu Qingli cursing: 【Fu Qingli! Men are all the same, aren't they? You've given up so quickly too? What about Lin Xi's feelings for you all these years? Was she stupid?!】
Yes, she's out of contact now, but her disappearance along with Uncle Lin must have some compelling reason. If you've given up on what's most important to him, who else will care about her?
Fu Qingli did not reply for a long time.
Just when she thought Fu Qingli no longer wanted to pay attention to Lin Xi, he suddenly sent her a photo of Lin Xi's back: 【I found her.】
In the photo, Lin Xi is wearing a hospital gown and sitting on a bench by the lawn, basking in the sun.
He was thin and frail, and his back view looked lonely and desolate.
Only then did she learn about Lin Fengyuan's sacrifice and that Lin Xi had spent the entire year in the hospital.
She wanted to rush to Jiangcheng to see her, but Fu Qingli stopped her: "Xiaoxi is very averse to thinking about the past. The doctor advised that people from the past should not appear in front of her for the time being, for fear of upsetting her."
Knowing that she cared, Fu Qingli would send her photos of Lin Xi every day until Lin Xi was discharged from the hospital.
After that, Fu Qingli would occasionally share Lin Xi's recent situation with her, but she would never say anything else.
But she could see that even though Fu Qingli couldn't get close to Lin Xi's life, he was still paying close attention to her, loving her from afar, laughing with her, crying with her, and sharing her pain.
He Xiaduo took a sip of water and continued, "You don't know, do you? During the month you were supervising the field outdoors during your junior year, Fu Qingli stayed with you in Jiangcheng. The time you fainted, he was the one who took you to the hospital."
Lin Xi remembered that incident.
When she woke up, the worker who went to the hospital with her said that a handsome young stranger had carried her to the hospital.
But when she woke up, she couldn't find the person anywhere, so she had to give up.
But I never expected it to be Fu Qingli.
So how many days in those five years did he quietly stay by my side? How much did he do for me in secret?
Over the years, I've often thought I saw him at street corners and intersections, and it turns out it wasn't just my imagination; it really could be him.
Her eyes were a little moist.
Speaking of the past, even He Xiaduo couldn't help but tear up: "In my opinion, you are irreplaceable in the young master's world, so no matter what happens, you should be brave enough to ask him what he really thinks, instead of guessing here. You should have confidence in your feelings for him."
"You're right. Even though he's given so much, I'm still not confident that he loves me."
Seeing her frustrated look, He Xiaduo couldn't help but touch her hair: "It's not your fault. It's the Fu family and that Su Yi'an who went too far. They planted the seeds of doubt in you from the very beginning. Years of self-doubt have created a habitual way of thinking for you, which is why you lack confidence in everything."
"But you should think more about how good the young master is to you. You see, even though he really wants you to have a child, he still puts your preferences first and allows you to eat spicy food so that you can be happy."
The topic suddenly circled back, leaving Lin Xi both amused and exasperated: "No, he and Zhou Leyan probably really have something to discuss."
Without thinking twice, He Xiaduo blurted out, "What could possibly happen between two rivals? Won't they fight again?"
"Huh? What rival in love?" Lin Xi asked incredulously. "What do you mean, 'fighting again'?"
"..."
Now it was He Xiaduo's turn to be speechless. "Seriously? You still don't know that Zhou Leyan likes you?"
"The two of them even got into a fight because of you."
"..."
-
The rivals they talked about actually got along fairly well.
Zhou Leyan rushed over and drank all the water in her cup as soon as she sat down.
Fu Qingli silently continued the process for him.
After catching her breath, Zhou Leyan got straight to the point: "I asked my classmates in Beicheng, and the Economic Investigation Department has officially started investigating the Su family's case."
"That's good." Fu Qingli handed over a stack of documents. "These people also deserve to be investigated. All the assets under their names were transferred out by Su Qichao."
At the top of the document is a photo of a young man who looks somewhat similar to Su Qichao.
Zhou Leyan immediately became alert: "Who is this? What is his relationship with Su Qichao?"
“Su Qichao’s illegitimate son,” Fu Qingli curled her lips, “one year older than Su Yi’an.”
"...he had..."
Fu Qingli nodded, neither confirming nor denying: "Yes, his marriage to the Chen family is a business arrangement; there's no real sincerity involved."
However, the couple only have one daughter, Su Yi'an.
"In other words, if things really continue like this, the heir to the Su family might not be Su Yi'an," Zhou Leyan analyzed. "That's why she insisted on marrying you. She wants to use the power of your Fu family to help her retain her status as the heir to the Su family?"
Fu Qingli raised an eyebrow, not expecting Zhou Leyan to be able to analyze the whole incident so quickly.
"But wasn't your engagement set a long time ago? Did she know back then that Su Qichao had a child outside?"
Zhou Leyan found it unbelievable. After investigating for some time, he knew that the Chen family was extremely powerful in this marriage. How could they allow Su Qichao to have a son outside the marriage?
"It's unclear how she found out, but she must have already known about the child's existence at that time, which is why she proceeded with such caution."
"This woman is really good at enduring things!" Zhou Leyan couldn't help but exclaim.
For over a decade, Su Yi'an has quietly consolidated her position without making a fuss.
However, she chose the wrong person; she chose Fu Qingli, a tough nut to crack, who refused to do as she wished.
What are your plans next?
"The revelation of his illegitimate child's identity caused Su Qichao to completely lose the support of the people."
Fu Qingli spoke casually, but the sharpness in her eyes made Zhou Leyan tremble: "Have you been planning this for a long time?"
"Yes." Fu Qingli did not deny it. "I have been waiting for this day for a long time."
"But I need to make it clear to you in advance that the Su family and the Fu family's businesses are too intertwined. If something happens to the Su family, the Fu family will not be able to escape unscathed. They may not face imprisonment, but their foundation will definitely be damaged."
Are you sure you want to do this?
Although Zhou Leyan did not know the whole story, she knew that Fu Qingli had little contact with the Fu family, and given Fu Wenxun's past actions, she was very resistant to the Fu family.
But since they were his family, he felt obligated to remind Fu Qingli of the risks.
“Confirmed! What Fu Wenxun did cannot be simply wiped clean. I said I would make them pay the price.”
"Besides, doesn't he think that these things can only be obtained through marriage? I'm going to show him that I can get both the Fu family and the Su family without any power."
"..."
Despite hearing her incredibly arrogant words, Zhou Leyan knew that Fu Qingli was truly capable of doing it for Lin Xi.
This day came very quickly.
Less than two weeks after the two met, Su Qichao was arrested, and at the same time, news of his illegitimate child spread, with partners withdrawing their investments one after another, and the Su family business was on the verge of collapse.
At that time, Fu Qingli and Lin Xi had already returned to Beicheng and officially started working.
It was a weekday when Zou Song suddenly called: "Brother Fu, Su Yi'an came to the company and said she wanted to see your wife, but she has been stopped by security."
"But she didn't want to leave, saying she wanted to wait downstairs."
Fu Qingli sneered: "Trying to plead with Lin Xi now? Too late!"
"Should I have someone kick her out?"
“No need, I’m going now.” Fu Qingli got up, grabbed her suit from the sofa, and went out. “She won’t give up until she sees him.”
