Chapter 108 Delicious
With a few words, Fu Jing was appeased, and he forced a smile: "It's delicious, it really is delicious."
Even so, he still put down his chopsticks.
This noodle is inedible.
Jiang Luo's gaze was unabashedly fixed on Fu Jing's hands, and she said with a half-smile, "It's delicious, why don't you keep eating? I made these noodles especially for you. If you don't finish them, wouldn't it be a waste of my time?"
His words were barbed, revealing his dissatisfaction.
He has to eat these noodles today, whether he likes it or not!
As perceptive as Fu Jing was, he sensed Jiang Luo's displeasure.
Under normal circumstances, he would never be willing to be controlled by a woman.
But he still wanted to squeeze money out of Jiang Luo.
For the sake of 30 million, I'll give her face.
Let's eat it then.
With eyes like peach blossoms dipped in water, Fu Jing gazed at Jiang Luo with tender affection. He picked up his chopsticks again, and when he lowered his head, his expression changed to one of tragic grandeur.
The thought of eating this rubbish made him feel like he had no will to live.
Seeing Fu Jing pick up his chopsticks, Jiang Luo was satisfied and then got down to business.
"Mr. Fu, do you know Lin Shuang?"
Taken aback by this unexpected question, Fu Jing paused for a moment, but not forgetting his manners, he swallowed the noodles in his mouth before asking, "What's wrong?"
“I attended a friend’s birthday party yesterday, and while chatting with others, I heard that you studied in France. Coincidentally, Lin Shuang also studied in France. The circle of students studying abroad is not that big. You two are both from Chunxing and are about the same age, so I wanted to ask if you know each other.” Jiang Luo said frankly.
With a calm expression, Fu Jing glanced at Jiang Luo, unsure whether she was being sincere or not, and said, "We've met a few times, but we're not that familiar."
There was not a trace of anything unusual about him; he was as calm as if he were telling the truth.
Jiang Luo was indignant.
Is acting a required course for scumbags?
Her superb acting skills are no less than those of someone with a professional background.
She continued, lightly tossing her loose hair: "Sigh, Lin Shuang has really had a lot of bad luck lately."
"She was clearly deceived in that matter, yet she has to bear such a bad reputation."
"You have no idea, when that man approached her, he lied and said he was single and had a crush on her for over ten years."
"A fleeting glimpse of her when I was a child left a deep impression on my mind. I couldn't forget her when I grew up, so I went to study in Paris specifically for her, hoping to rekindle our romance."
Jiang Luo spoke slowly and deliberately.
One last question: "Tell me, which girl wouldn't be moved by a story like this?"
Fu Jing's lips twitched.
Since Jiang Luo was able to reconstruct his past acquaintance with Lin Shuang, how could he not know that person was him?
Unable to get an answer from Fu Jing, Jiang Luo persisted: "President Fu, do you think... that man is a scumbag?"
Is it a test, or a sharing?
Fu Jing avoided answering, saying, "This matter is still in doubt. I don't know the whole story, so I dare not comment further."
Ha, what a scoundrel.
The purpose of saying all this is to use the program to illustrate Lin Shuang's tragic experience.
The truth should be laid bare in broad daylight.
Police intervention and public opinion dissemination are both indispensable.
"Mr. Fu is right." Jiang Luo nodded lazily, then picked up her phone and quickly typed a few words.
After finishing typing, he pushed the phone between the two of them and said, "President Fu."
Turning his head, Fu Jing's pupils dilated and his expression hardened the instant his gaze met the screen.
It's a notepad page.
One sentence, two lines, concise and to the point.
I want to buy what you have. Let's meet tomorrow at 3 PM at Yannan Residential Complex, Building 7, Room 608.
A sinister glint appeared in Fu Jing's eyes, but he didn't react.
As if anticipating his reaction, Jiang Luo rested her chin on her hand, her slender fingers lazily tracing an upward motion.
Another line of text appeared on the sticky note.
[Thirty million. I want to buy it out.]
Jiang Luo only showed Fu Jing the phone for two seconds before picking it up and getting up.
He Ziyan has already investigated and found that Fu Jing's extortion of Lin Shuang was not only due to the Fu family, but also because he himself had a gambling debt.
He desperately needs those 30 million.
Determined by his desire, Jiang Luo walked with great vigor and determination.
Behind her, Fu Jing, like a hungry wolf seeing its prey, followed her with a fierce look in his eyes.
-
"Luo Luo".
As soon as Jiang Luo entered the bedroom, Shi Yan, who was lounging on a recliner with a face mask on, sat up.
She walked over in a few steps, scrutinizing Jiang Luo, who was standing at the corner of the bed, with the same eyes she would use to examine a criminal.
Jiang Luo: "I know what you're going to ask."
"Oh? Is that so?"
To appear more imposing, Shi Yan deliberately raised her chin, but due to her height disadvantage, she could only be looked down upon.
After a three-second eye contact, the pain was too much for her, so she simply strode over and onto the bed.
The sudden movement startled Jiang Luo, making her shudder and her double chin almost pop out.
Her gaze shifted upwards, and she looked up at the giant-like Shi Yan, feeling both amused and exasperated.
Yes, that's tall enough.
Shi Yan finally understood the aura of someone in a superior position, and even her face covered with a face mask seemed to exude a touch of aloofness. "What have you been secretly doing lately? Spending time alone with Fu Jing? You know Fu Jing, he's a bad guy!"
With her hands on her hips, she scolded sternly, "Stay away from hanging out with that guy Fu Jing!"
This appearance... looks just like her mother.
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Luo put her hands together, bowed to Shi Yan, and teased, "Okay, Mother Shi."
Shi Yan: ...
"What I'm doing right now involves my friend, and it's really not convenient for me to disclose it to you..."
The small face, tilted upwards, has its facial contours highlighted.
With red lips and white teeth, skin as smooth as jade, and a pair of dark, sparkling eyes that seemed to illuminate everything in the world.
When I first met Jiang Luo, I did feel that her appearance was somewhat distant.
They seem difficult to approach.
He seems to have a bad temper.
But after spending more time with her, her soft and cute side was revealed. She could still act coquettishly, be mischievous, and even have a funny side.
She's the kind of goddess you can't help but want to befriend.
Shi Yan cupped Jiang Luo's face and rubbed it gently, then snorted and said, "Fine. I won't force you. But you have to promise me that no matter what you do, you must protect yourself."
The earnest tone and sincere expression conveyed genuine concern and advice, not the casual use of "baby" in social situations.
"Yes. I will."
"Alright." Shi Yan jumped down nimbly and pushed Jiang Luo forward. "Go wash up quickly, then try my new face mask!"
"Okay," came the soft reply.
-
The following day, in the afternoon.
Large swaths of sunlight streamed in, casting shimmering rays that slanted down, while tiny particles floated in the air.
Shi Yan hugged her knees and squatted on the sofa like a small animal.
Overnight, everyone in the cabin became busy.
The people upstairs were nowhere to be found, and Luo Luo changed her clothes in her room before going out.
Ten minutes later, Luo Luo came out.
"I'm leaving now, I'll be back later!" She waved to Shi Yan.
Shi Yan waved back.
Ten minutes later, He Ziyan walked past her.
"goodbye."
"goodbye."
Watching He Ziyan walk away, Shi Yan seemed lost in thought.
Another date?
Oh, are you taking advantage of her not having a boyfriend/girlfriend?
Why does everyone seem to be on a date?
After sitting there for a minute, she suddenly grabbed her phone as if she'd been electrocuted and dialed her boss's number.
Connected.
"Boss, I want to go back to work!"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then a man's voice came through urgently, "Don't come back yet! I'm her personal assistant now! If you come back, she'll definitely fire me! Play for another two... ten days! That's all, bye!"
"beep--"
Shi Yan: ?
