Chapter 116 [Jia Jia, just forget about him. ]
Chen Fu Ji turned around.
He glanced at the other person with a cold look, too lazy to say anything more.
But Xie Ling stopped at this moment.
Her slender fingers clenched the hem of her clothes, and she repeated to him in a soft but firm voice, "I will not return home."
She... doesn't want to go back.
Xie Ling lowered his eyes.
Chen Fu Ji frowned slightly and turned to look at her, but only saw a straight white neck.
In fact, over the years, he rarely saw her being so stubborn.
In my memory, she was always gentle and obedient, which was probably due to the fact that her parents died when she was young. She didn't dare to lose her temper at home. Although she was a little bit stubborn sometimes, she would only show some stubbornness when it came to matters involving Cheng Yu'an.
But at this moment, there was a rare stubbornness in her eyes.
Huang Shishen had already caught up quickly by then. Having heard the conversation, he stood beside Xie Ling and said attentively, "Miss Xie, the room you requested is ready... Why are you in such a hurry to return home?"
"You're going to live here?"
Chen Fuji's voice suddenly dropped, full of disapproval, and every word revealed his contempt for Huang Shishen's way of doing things.
"yes."
Xie Ling pursed her lips, raised her small chin slightly, stepped back, and stood with Huang Shishen.
Her fingers twisted the hem of her dress unconsciously, the fabric of her skirt wrinkling in her palms.
"You know where this is."
Chen Fu Ji lowered his voice, but what he was thinking about was Huang Shishen's business of pimping for high-ranking officials.
This Los Angeles house is decorated in a magnificent and antique style...
Huang Shishen isn't doing charity work; he's a businessman. With investments, he naturally needs a return. And his method of seeking a return...
As soon as Chen Fuji finished speaking, Huang Shishen interrupted with a smile, "Mr. Chen, you misunderstood. This is just a small property under Huang's name. It has been vacant since the renovation. Even I have never stayed here overnight."
He rubbed his hands together, glancing back and forth between the two of them, his gaze filled with the desire to win over Miss Xie. "I can immediately clear the area and ensure that only the two of you are here..."
“…”
What do just the two of them do?
Chen Fu Ji glanced at him with a slightly sharp look.
Huang Shishen's voice stopped abruptly.
He subconsciously shrank his neck and didn't dare to speak any more.
Chen Fuji's slender fingers slowly tightened in his suit trouser pockets, the famous watch on his wrist gleaming in the light. His gaze slowly moved from Huang Shishen's flattering face to Xie Ling's slightly pale lips. His eyes darkened by two points, and he asked again, "Are you staying here tonight?"
A long time passed.
Xie Ling looked up at him, "...Yeah."
-
Chen Fu Ji has never been able to do anything to Xie Ling.
In the past, when he was young and the two were passionately in love, he couldn't control her. What's more, now, he was dragging a half-crippled body and was completely unable to do anything with her.
"Okay."
Chen Fuji was about to leave on his own. Xie Ling bit her lip and watched him walk out. Before he could go, Huang Shishen caught up with him, "Mr. Chen, Miss Xie is staying at my place alone. I'm worried..."
"Unsafe?"
Chen Fuji glanced at him coldly. Huang Shishen had just made a guarantee, so he naturally didn't dare to say that. He said, "I'm worried that Miss Xie will feel empty. The security here is naturally top-notch, but it's empty at night, and I'm worried about dirty things."
Chen Fu Ji was so angry that he almost laughed.
Huang Shishen tried every possible means to bring Xie Ling from Beijing, thousands of miles away, just to let her live in a haunted house. He probably wouldn't believe it if he told others about it.
...In the end, Chen Fu Ji and Xie Ling stayed at Huang Shishen's residence in Los Angeles.
In the room downstairs, the maid served tea, and Xie Ling took small sips from the celadon teacup.
The fragrance of Biluochun permeates the room.
The sunlight shone through the bamboo curtains, casting mottled light and shadows on her moon-white cheongsam, making her look as graceful as a painting of a beautiful lady.
In the study upstairs.
Chen Fuji leaned one hand on the mahogany table and looked down at Huang Shishen, "You are quite brave."
Wouldn't it be very courageous to dare to touch someone from the Xie family?
Xie Ling never leaves the house and stays at Xie's residence all day long. If she hadn't approached him on purpose, she wouldn't have known someone like Huang Shishen.
Chen Fu Ji didn't even have to think about how he tricked people into coming here.
"Ms. Xie... I'm also worried about your injury." Huang Shishen rubbed his hands and smiled apologetically, "Mr. Chen, you misunderstood. How could I dare to engage in such a pimping business?"
He pretended to be sincere and lowered his voice, as if he was afraid that the people downstairs would hear him. "I just can't bear to see lovers separated, and I want to help them..."
Chen Fuji's eyes flashed, and he tapped lightly on the table with his slender fingers.
After a long silence, he spoke indifferently, "...Then why don't you open a marriage agency?"
Huang Shishen, “…”
Huang Shishen chuckled twice.
Isn't he currently running one? However, this marriage agency is specifically designed to serve powerful people like this one.
But Huang Shishen didn't dare to say this.
Chen Fu Ji was too lazy to talk nonsense with the outsiders. He looked at Huang Shishen deeply and finally warned him not to get involved. He stood up, straightened his suit cuffs, turned around and walked downstairs.
Huang Shishen wisely didn't follow.
Instead, he turned in another direction at the stairs and told the servants that he would not come over at night and to take good care of the two.
——
On the day of Xie Siyan's engagement, the entire capital city was covered with dense rain.
The front door of Xie's house was filled with shiny cars.
Raindrops dripped down the edge of the black umbrella onto the red carpet, leaving dark marks.
The crystal chandeliers in the hall reflected the daylight, which eventually fell on the smiling faces of the guests.
Xie Ling didn't attend, and no one seemed to care why the second daughter of the Xie family was absent from such an important occasion. Only Xie's mother Cheng Yu asked one more question -
I was told that Xie Ling was out of town for something.
Cheng Yu hummed, a hint of surprise briefly crossing his face, but he didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he told the housekeeper not to tell the guests about this.
Song Mingxi stood in the shadow of the corridor on the second floor, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the twined flower patterns carved on the railings, taking pictures of her best friend.
【Jia Jia, just forget about him. 】
She never imagined that this man could be such a complete scumbag, so... consistent and unwavering.
Looking back now, those false illusions of reformation were simply ridiculous. I guess he must have laughed out loud when he was pretending, right?
The photo was not taken well because the phone camera was suddenly blocked by a hand.
Song Mingxi looked up and saw Zhou Xu's slightly frowned brow. "Why are you taking pictures of Xie Siyan?"
He asked in a low voice, his eyes flicking between her and the newcomer downstairs.
Could it be that...
Thinking of Bai Yirou's distraught look just now, Zhou Xu's heart began to beat fast.
In their circle, it's impossible for every woman to risk her life for Xie Siyan, right?
"I……"
Song Mingxi hesitated twice.
Realizing that if she continued like this, she would be noticed by the newcomers who were surrounded by people downstairs, she quickly explained, "I'm going to take this video and show it to Mu Jia so that she can completely give up! Don't get involved with scumbags anymore."
