Chapter 308 Take your hand away
He is now like a traveler who has been away from home for a long time and is eagerly waiting for his family to call him. Just a simple "come home tonight" can bring him endless warmth.
Especially since this sentence came from Jiang Ranxing, the effect was even more different.
Fu Shenyuan wore a satisfied smile, as if he had received the best promise in the world.
But he had no idea what awaited him.
Inside the restaurant, Lin Xuesha stood up when she saw him and, as usual, clung to him.
"Shen Yuan, are you tired from work today? We haven't seen each other for a long time, and you look a little haggard."
Fu Shenyuan distanced himself from her, not allowing any possibility of ambiguity between them.
Lin Xuesha looked at her empty hand, her expression faltering, but she managed to control herself.
She couldn't afford to fall out with Fu Shenyuan.
After pulling Fu Shenyuan down to sit, Lin Xuesha sat down opposite him.
"I've been too busy with work lately and haven't been able to visit you in the hospital soon. You won't be upset with me, will you?"
Fu Shenyuan took a sip of water and said, "It's alright, I'm almost fully recovered. How are things at your and your father's company?"
Lin Xuesha hesitated for a moment, then finally feigned a pitiful expression and said, "It's not good, I might still need your help."
"What's wrong?" Fu Shenyuan asked. "Tell me about it."
Lin Xuesha naturally dared not tell the truth: "Dad's investment failed, and now he needs an investment fund, but the bank will not agree to lend to us, so we can only find a way to do it privately."
Lin Xuesha's eyes welled up with tears.
"Shen Yuan, I know I shouldn't ask you for help again, but I really don't know who else to turn to. Could you please help me one more time, for the sake of our relationship?"
This time, Fu Shenyuan remained silent.
He was not a cold-blooded person, and he could not ignore the request from someone who had been kind to him.
Ke Linxue has been asking him for help and money repeatedly lately, and he's not stupid.
"Xue Sha, the money I gave you before should be enough to get you through this difficult time. I want to know, did you really use this money for company operations?"
Lin Xuesha instantly clenched her hands under the table: "Shen Yuan, are you doubting me?"
Fu Shenyuan's silence answered everything.
“I didn’t expect you to doubt me. Really, I thought our relationship wouldn’t come to this.” Lin Xuesha looked so pitiful that anyone would feel sorry for her. “If you doubt me to this extent because of this, then I really would rather have nothing at all, and that we could still have that innocent relationship we had back then, still those two children who only had each other.”
Lin Xuesha's words struck a nerve with Fu Shenyuan, making him feel guilty.
This time, besides feeling guilty, Fu Shenyuan also sensed something was off—an inexplicable, intuitive feeling that something was wrong.
But the person in front of me, with tears streaming down their face, was simply impossible to ignore.
"How much more investment does Uncle Lin's company need?" Fu Shenyuan asked.
Lin Xuesha exclaimed with delight, "It will probably cost another thirty million."
Fu Shenyuan narrowed his eyes. Thirty million was not the amount of investment required for a company of this size.
But he really didn't need to make things escalate with Lin Xuesha over this.
"Xue Sha, I can help you, but I hope this is the last time, and that this will never happen again."
By then, he would no longer have the right to continue making such sacrifices.
Lin Xuesha nodded with a smile, "Yes, yes, I will make sure Dad runs the company well and will definitely not ask you for money again."
The restaurant waiter brought out the food and red wine, poured the wine for the two of them, and then Lin Xuesha picked up her wine glass.
"Shen Yuan, let me raise a glass to you to celebrate your recovery and successful discharge from the hospital."
Fu Shenyuan silently picked up his glass and clinked glasses with her.
He didn't drink much, and with Jiang Ranxing's words in mind, he naturally didn't want to smell of alcohol when he got home.
Lin Xuesha's eyes darted around, trying to figure out how to get the medicine into Fu Shenyuan's mouth, when Tan Shen happened to come over with his phone.
"Mr. Fu, there's a call that needs your attention. It's from Mr. Wan."
Wan Luyuan's phone call was bound to be very sensitive, and Fu Shenyuan didn't want Lin Xuesha to hear it.
"I'll go answer this call first, you can take your time eating."
Fu Shenyuan walked away.
This was exactly what Lin Xuesha wanted. While Fu Shenyuan disappeared from the restaurant, Lin Xuesha stood up, made a feint, and secretly put the drug into Fu Shenyuan's wine glass. Then she swirled the wine to dissolve the drug completely.
Lin Xuesha curled her lips into a smug smile, a smile that was somewhat eerie.
Fu Shenyuan, this time you will be completely mine.
It's okay to use the same trick twice, as long as it works.
When Fu Shenyuan returned, he seemed very anxious. He did not sit down again, but said, "Xue Sha, I have some things to take care of. I'm afraid I can't have dinner with you today. I'll have Tan Shen send you something next time."
Lin Xuesha became anxious when she heard that Fu Shenyuan had stopped eating.
"Shen Yuan!" she called out to him, stepping forward to take his hand. "Can you give me a little more time? You haven't eaten anything yet. Even if you're busy, you should at least eat something. Can you give me half an hour?"
Fu Shenyuan couldn't refuse, so he eventually sat down.
Lin Xuesha watched as Fu Shenyuan drank the glass of red wine laced with drugs.
At first, Fu Shenyuan only felt a bit hot in his body, a kind of weak heat like the heat of wanting to do something when you're sick. Then it seemed to turn into a hot current, roaring and rushing around in his blood vessels. Later, he felt his brain start to feel dizzy.
"Shen Yuan... Shen Yuan? Are you alright... What happened to you?"
Lin Xuesha's voice rang in his ears, but it was as if he could not hear it clearly through a thick layer of mist.
"You don't look well, Shen Yuan... How about I help you upstairs to your room to rest?"
When Fu Shenyuan looked up again, Lin Xuesha's figure had already transformed into several overlapping figures.
Lin Xuesha walked around the dining table and came over to support his hand.
The moment they made contact, Fu Shenyuan clearly felt the pricking sensation that occurred when their skin touched.
Something's not right!
This was Fu Shenyuan's first thought.
He was gradually losing control over his body.
Something's really wrong.
Fu Shenyuan tried to break free from Lin Xuesha's hand, but she held on tightly and wouldn't let go.
Lin Xuesha's sweet voice rang out: "Shen Yuan, let me help you to rest for a while. You can't stay like this."
His body felt as if it were slowly sinking into warm, sticky water, and Fu Shenyuan tried his best to stay awake—
I don't know how much time passed or what happened.
When Fu Shenyuan opened his eyes again, the face in front of him had become the face he had been longing for day and night.
Jiang Ranxing said with a cold expression, "Fu Shenyuan, if you don't take your hands off me, I might really get rough with you!"
