Chapter 266: Never mind, let's get drunk first.
Chapter 266: Never mind, let's get drunk first.
Zhao Jinming was stunned for a moment, then belatedly realized what was happening:
"So you never intended to curb the power of your fourth uncle's lineage in the first place; you wanted to kick them out?"
Fu Yanjing neither agreed nor disagreed.
It's understandable that everyone wants a piece of the pie.
However, the Fu family's century-old, clean and honest foundation absolutely cannot be allowed to be climbed up by parasites again and again.
besides--
"Just take the overseas branches in Country S as an example. They quietly and continuously received a billion dollars in salaries for twenty years without any real business. Why did the Fu family gradually withdraw from the market in Country S? It wasn't because of technological obsolescence, but because they never intended to develop properly in the first place. The talents that the Fu family poached with huge sums of money also jumped ship to their rivals because of their harsh treatment of employees."
Therefore, Fu Yanjing was playing a long game from the very beginning.
Even his initial move to Jiangbei to take over Hengji and gain prestige was a lie.
He was a well-known figure on Wall Street, trading various bonds and stocks.
Why does he need a Henderson Land development to gild him?
He simply wanted to create the illusion that he was detached from core power by publicly separating himself from the Fu family's Hong Kong headquarters.
This allows for a better understanding of the other party's subtle actions.
Thinking of this, Zhao Jinming chuckled.
“Ah Jing, sometimes I admire how your mind works. How do you manage to plan so meticulously? Since you grew up, I've never seen you panic or lose your composure over anything…”
At this point, Zhao Jinming suddenly lowered his voice, drawing out the last syllable.
Suddenly I realized.
It's not that there's none at all.
He took a turn.
"Except for Miss Wen."
But no one expected that just a short walk downstairs would lead to a spot just behind a screen.
He saw Miss Wen, who made Fu Yanjing panic and lose his composure.
*
The peach blossom wine made in Mingshanzhu is very distinctive.
Shen Jinzhao made a plan as soon as he arrived in Jiangbei, and he had been wanting to try it ever since.
Today I finally have the chance.
A waiter dressed in a well-fitting cheongsam brought out the wine, and even the jars were exquisite.
When poured into a wine glass, the aroma is even more enticing.
Shen Jinzhao abandoned the small wine cups that looked more dignified and elegant, and instead asked the waiter for two large glasses, which he filled to the brim in a very generous manner.
He gave Wen Jin a cup, and kept one for himself.
Neither of them drives.
Peach blossom wine doesn't easily make people drunk.
Even if Wen Jinye has a low alcohol tolerance, he wouldn't lose his composure after drinking peach blossom wine.
She did not refuse Shen Jinzhao.
The crisp sound of glasses clinking together rang out, like a symphony of young girls' friendship.
Shen Jinzhao said, "Fate brought us together again. You lent me your phone at the airport, and in Jiangbei, you're the only friend I want to make. Honestly."
Her expression was sincere and earnest. “I have a strange feeling of wanting to get close to you. Maybe it’s because you guessed my situation but didn’t pry too much, maybe it’s because of that phone call I made to let my best friend know I was safe, or maybe it’s because you found and returned the necklace that was very meaningful to me. Anyway, I really feel inexplicably like I want to be with you, and in fact, it is very comfortable.”
After saying that, she drank it all in one gulp.
It's not that all the emotions are in the alcohol.
But this wine is just so incredibly delicious!
The delicious taste caused her to hallucinate.
She seemed to see Zhao Jinming's lingering ghost again.
Depend on!
Shen Jinzhao suspected that he had eaten too many red beans, which was why he felt suicidal.
She was even more familiar with the man next to Zhao Jinming.
After all, he's a prince of the Hong Kong entertainment circle, and anyone with even a little connection to Hong Kong is familiar with him.
At first, his father wanted to marry into this family.
What kind of chaotic scene is this?
Will they bring helpers when they come to arrest her?
Shen Jinzhao knew he didn't have that much influence, and it was most likely all a coincidence.
But this coincidence still made her heart rate spike to 180.
Her toes gripped tightly inside the shoe, but she couldn't create a tunnel for herself to escape underground.
She wanted to lower her head and pretend to be calm.
But the two men's calm and sharp gazes were clearly directed in their direction.
There's no way to escape now.
then--
She made a decisive decision.
Playing dead.
"Bang!"
His forehead hit the table hard.
Wen Jin was still immersed in the process of toasting with Chen Jinzhao in the previous step.
She slowly finished the glass of wine.
After putting down the glass, which was almost bigger than her face, she found herself facing the woman who had just been full of ambition and passion, pouring out her heart to her.
His face was buried in the table.
He casually rested his right elbow on the table, bending it to hug his face.
She slept peacefully.
"Huh?"
Is this alcohol really that strong?
But she seems to have a high alcohol tolerance.
Due to psychological factors, Wen Jin also felt that her brain was dizzy and swollen.
Should she get drunk too and keep her company?
But this speed is too fast.
Someone who didn't know better might think something had been added to the wine.
Wen Jin also considered it for a moment, then reached out to check her breath.
call--
Alive.
But it's a bit tricky.
I don't know where she lives, and I'm worried that I'll catch a cold if I sleep here.
Between the two hesitant options, Wen Jin also chose C.
Go pay the bill first.
I just got up.
A deliberately short, low cough suddenly sounded from behind.
Wen Jin paused, turned around abruptly, and saw Fu Yanjing and Zhao Jinming not far away.
Fu Yanjing's expression was gentle, and there was not a trace of the same surprise and delight as Wen Jinye in his eyes, indicating that he had not just seen her.
What are you doing here?
Fu Yanjing's lips curled slightly, and he said calmly, "My wife's radar went off."
How can he always utter such straightforward and tender words of love while wearing such an indifferent, aloof, and serene face?
Fu Yanjing would say the same thing before.
but--
Most of the time, it happens in bed, when he's coaxing her to do it again.
But now, he is expressing his love all the time.
Zhao Jinming, who was standing next to him, was seeing Fu Yanjing being so flirtatious for the first time.
He couldn't maintain his composure and restraint, and his lips twitched slightly.
Seeing the subtle change in Zhao Jinming's expression, Wen Jin felt a little embarrassed and blushed slightly.
"Can you stop talking nonsense? You're clearly here to discuss business."
"Then why are you asking a question you already know the answer to?"
Wen Jin also said, "I was a little surprised to see you here. I didn't expect to run into you. I was just a little taken aback."
So they just spoke like NPCs without thinking at all.
Fu Yanjing said with dissatisfaction, "If you're surprised, just say so. Why do you have to emphasize that I'm only slightly surprised? Am I already too weak to stir up any excitement in you?"
What a childish conversation.
"It has caused trouble." Wen Jin also said obediently, "You are suspected of deliberately causing trouble, and I am very angry right now."
Her face had a delicate blush, clearly the demureness of someone nourished by love.
This was quite different from the last time Zhao Jinming saw Wen Jinye.
"Miss Wen, it's been a long time."
Zhao Jinming nodded politely. Although his expression remained as composed and calm as ever, it was easy to tell from his voice that he was much more enthusiastic and respectful than he had been when they were in front of Gangcheng last time.
Wen Jin also holds grudges.
Therefore, it is difficult to show much enthusiasm.
The tenderness in his eyes faded slightly, replaced by his usual cold and indifferent demeanor.
Out of social courtesy, she nodded and said, "Long time no see."
Zhao Jinming touched his nose, a fleeting hint of embarrassment flashing across his eyes.
After all, Zhao Jinming's conversations with Wen Jinye during their last meeting and the three years they spent together were far too arrogant.
In the end, it wasn't Miss Wen who chased Fu Yanjing to Hong Kong.
Fu Yanjing, however, followed them to Jiangbei.
He almost became the villain who broke up the couple.
