Rong Yan is good at analyzing people's psychology, but she can't figure out Liang Jia.
Or perhaps it's because her loved ones' safety is at stake that she can't truly calm down and think things through.
She was involved, not an observer, and her opinions were too subjective, while Fu Jingsheng was much calmer.
The man held his wife's hand tightly: "Rongyan, we have no choice but to do as Liang Jia says."
"Then don't compromise so quickly. Contact her tomorrow night." Rong Yan gritted her teeth. Even someone as emotionally stable as her had murderous thoughts and wanted to kill Liang Jia at any moment.
When Han Yue got home and overheard her son and daughter-in-law's conversation, she rolled up her sleeves and said, "Threatening Fu Jia? I'll go and kill her."
"Mom!" the two called out excitedly from behind.
"I'll grab a pair of scissors," Han Yue said angrily.
Rong Yan pulled her mother-in-law back: "Mom, don't be impulsive."
Han Yue has seen all sorts of storms; if she were afraid of threats, she would have been scared to death ten or eight times over.
"Don't compromise, this is outrageous." Han Yue disagreed with her son's point of view. "In a society governed by law, would she commit a crime in broad daylight? I don't believe she can manipulate things. How many people outside can help her?" Han Yue refused to believe Liang Jia's words. If she could really find people to help her, would she need Rong Yan and the others to issue a statement?
“Mom, let’s put this misunderstanding behind us. Firing Mr. Lu was a last resort for the Fu family. Although we offered a large sum of compensation, we didn’t expect the tragedy to still happen. We apologize, but not because we’ve compromised. We’re using the power of the media to get everyone involved in protecting our children.” Fu Jingsheng had to ensure his family’s absolute safety.
Rong Yan echoed.
"Okay, I'll do as you say," Han Yue conceded.
After returning to the Lu mansion, Liang Jia looked through Lu Kai's photos and said, "Sir, how could you be so foolish?"
She couldn't imagine what Lu Kai, who was already thin, would look like after going on a hunger strike. The woman's heart was in her throat, but she wouldn't be able to see Lu Kai until the next day.
Hopefully, Rongyan will sign the agreement as soon as possible so that she can bring the good news to the prison.
Liang Jia didn't have many bargaining chips. After Lu Kai's affair was exposed, netizens criticized Lu Kai for seeking revenge, and everyone felt indignant on behalf of the Fu family. No one was willing to help her.
If Rong Yan is scared, she will sign the agreement and leave Tiancheng.
Liang Jia is also gambling.
The group of people endured the night.
The next day, Liang Jia didn't receive any news from Rong Yan until she set off.
She's going to see Lu Kai.
Although she didn't receive a definite reply from Rong Yan, she was 80% certain that Rong Yan would agree to sign the agreement, so she prepared to tell Lu Kai that Rong Yan had agreed.
The man, who had been imprisoned for a while, looked haggard and walked like an elderly person.
After he sat down, Liang Jia stared at him for a long time before calling out with red eyes, "Sir."
Lu Kai knew he was no longer human, but he made no attempt to hide it. He thought it would be good for Liang Jia to see him like this, to make her hate him, and to make her forget him.
Unexpectedly, Liang Jia burst into tears and it took her a while to speak: "Sir, you will be able to leave soon. Rong Yan has agreed to plead for you, but after you leave, we must leave Tiancheng and never appear in front of them again. Are you willing, sir?"
Lu Kai thought he had misheard and asked, "What?"
Liang Jia suppressed her sobs and repeated the words slowly and deliberately.
If he could leave, Lu Kai would certainly be willing to leave Tiancheng to live.
But how could he possibly go out? Would Fu Jingsheng plead for him? The man simply didn't believe it.
"Jiajia, you're lying to me, aren't you? I've accepted reality. Don't give me hope. My only wish now is for you to be well. As long as you promise not to have anything to do with the Fu family in the future, I'll eat well, reform myself properly, and try to get a reduced sentence." In this world, Liang Jia is all Lu Kai has left.
“Sir, after you leave, I promise I will have nothing to do with them anymore. We’ll move to another place, live under assumed names, and live a simple life.” Liang Jia knew Lu Kai was willing.
“Sir, wait for me. You’ll be able to leave in a month at most,” Liang Jia said firmly.
Lu Kai didn't know what Liang Jia's method was. No matter how he asked, Liang Jia said that she had begged them repeatedly before they agreed, but Lu Kai felt that this was not the real reason.
Visiting time was over, and Liang Jia was asked to leave.
Her eyes were red from crying. The woman sat on the curb outside, lost in thought for a long time before leaving.
Rong Yan had calculated the time carefully. She called Liang Jia in the afternoon and agreed to Liang Jia's request. That evening, the two of them signed the agreement at the restaurant where they had met the day before.
Liang Jia jumped up with joy.
——
At noon, Fu Jingchen's company, the man pretended to go to a client's place in the same city, and took Zhou Luo with him. In reality, the two of them went to a lakeside farmhouse.
Fu Jingchen ordered a variety of highly nourishing soups.
When the dishes were served, Zhou Luo felt like her nose was about to bleed just from looking at them.
From bird's nest last night to fish maw this morning to chicken soup and pork tripe soup at noon... what exactly is Fu Jingchen up to?
There's no need to go to such lengths during postpartum confinement. Besides, she's only been sleeping poorly for the past few days; it's not that serious.
"That's enough, Fu Jingchen." Zhou Luo wiped his sweat. He should have known better than to say "anything is fine" when he ordered. Now look what happened.
Finally, the waiter gave them a bowl of fruit as a gift, saying, "This fruit is mild and good for pregnant women."
"A pregnant woman?" Zhou Luo was stunned.
"Who's pregnant?" she asked, pointing to herself.
Indeed, anyone would misunderstand such a nutritious meal.
Zhou Luo drank a bowl of chicken soup: "Fu Jingchen, let's run back to the company after we finish eating, otherwise we'll have no energy to spare," the woman joked.
Fu Jingchen grinned mischievously: "There's a guesthouse right next door. Some things are more physically demanding than running. I can help you energize yourself."
Zhou Luo immediately lowered his head and didn't say a word.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Fu Jingchen tugged at the woman's collar.
Zhou Luo moved aside: "I'm hungry, let's fill our stomachs first. I didn't hear what you said."
The man repeats.
Zhou Luo replied, "What? I'm deaf?"
"Pretending to be stupid? I don't have anything to do this afternoon. How about staying next door? It's a lake-view room with a private hot spring in the courtyard..." Fu Jingchen had a wicked idea.
"How do you know so much? Have you been here before? Have you brought other people here before?" Zhou Luo's face suddenly darkened.
"No, I just searched it. Look, your phone is still on that screen." Fu Jingchen showed it to Zhou Luo.
"That's good. I'm really sleepy after eating, so it's good to rest. But let's make it clear beforehand, you're not allowed to touch me." Zhou Luo herself felt that she was being hypocritical, not wanting Fu Jingchen to touch her or go to a hotel.
"Okay." Fu Jingchen agreed first, but who knows who will take the initiative later.
The two of them only ate a third of the food, and packed the rest up. Then they went to the guesthouse next door. Fu Jingchen booked the most expensive suite, which had a private hot spring and a stargazing observation deck. He wanted to stay with Zhou Luo until tomorrow and then go directly to the company.
As soon as Zhou Luo entered the courtyard, he was attracted by the environment. Nestled against the mountains and beside the water, the courtyard was full of colorful flowers, a sight to behold.
