Chapter 314 He's not that kind of person
Fu Hongkai remained silent for a long time, and his secretary urged him anxiously, "Vice President, for your own sake, you must not be soft-hearted at this time. Delay will only lead to complications."
A rare look of reluctance appeared on Fu Hongkai's face: "But that's my father."
"So what about your father? He never cared about you. Don't you know that the deceased Fu Hongjin was your father's favorite child? Even after his death, the chairman never thought of handing over the company and family business to you. He handed it all over to Fu Shenyuan. The chairman never had you in his heart. Have you forgotten that?"
"Of course I haven't forgotten, but he was, after all, my father."
He was able to harm his own elder brother back then because they had been rivals since birth, and after all, Old Master Fu was his biological father.
To harm one's own father is tantamount to completely losing one's humanity.
Fu Hongkai felt a struggle arise in his heart for the first time. Thinking about it is one thing, but actually deciding to do it is another.
The secretary was getting anxious seeing that Fu Hongkai was hesitant to make a decision.
"Vice President! You really can't hesitate any longer. Can you just watch the entire Fu family become Fu Shenyuan's property? You've been at odds for so long. If it really comes to that, he won't let you off the hook. You'll definitely regret hesitating today!"
The secretary continued, "Think about it. You're considering family ties now, but when the chairman made his will, he didn't consider you at all. He gave all his shares to Fu Shenyuan and that Jiang Ranxing, and wasn't even willing to give you one percent. Do you really want to continue considering this so-called family ties that he's unwilling to give up?!"
The fact that he hadn't received any shares was like a thorn stuck in Fu Hongkai's heart, and the secretary's words only made that thorn pierce deeper.
Fu Hongkai steeled his resolve: "That's right, you're right. He doesn't consider me at all, so I have to consider myself."
The secretary smiled and said, "You're right to think that way. You shouldn't waver."
Fu Hongkai said, "Go and make the arrangements. Remember to be discreet and don't let anyone find out, especially that Fu Shenyuan. Make sure he doesn't catch you doing anything wrong."
The secretary nodded: "You can rest assured that I'll handle things well."
The winds rose again, and a thick fog blanketed the city, obscuring the sunlight.
"The weather hasn't been very good lately, and I don't know if we'll be able to see the sun, but thankfully, our show was a great success."
Mia, who had just finished the event, walked out of the venue and looked at the sky above her head.
"Sister Ranxing, who brought the food over just now? It's Japanese food, and it looks like it's from a hotel. It doesn't look cheap, but it's pretty good."
Jiang Ranxing also stepped down the stairs and looked up. The misty air made everyone feel depressed.
"Fu Shenyuan had it delivered."
Mianahan said, "It's him again. He's like a ghost that won't leave me alone. If I had known it was him who gave it to me, I wouldn't have eaten it. I take back my praise."
Jiang Ranxing was amused by Mia's expression: "Food is innocent, it's okay if you like it."
Mia then laughed and asked, "But what does it mean that he sent these things over? Is he thinking of making peace? I don't think he should even dream about it. After doing something like that, it's already a miracle that the police haven't arrested him. Who can forgive him!"
Jiang Ranxing nodded, agreeing with Mia's statement.
"This time it wasn't him, it was his grandfather. He said he wanted to see me, that he had something to say, right?"
Mia asked, "So, sister, did you agree?"
"I didn't really want to agree, but the old man was dying, and I couldn't bring myself to do it."
Mia pouted: "That's true. People are about to die, so their requests aren't unreasonable. No one would feel comfortable refusing them outright. But Sister Ranxing, if you're going to the Fu family, take me with you. I'll protect you so that Fu Shenyuan doesn't do anything else that's so beastly."
“Okay, I’ll call you to come along then,” Jiang Ranxing got into the car and saw that her colleague’s car had just driven away. “Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s go eat. I’ve made a reservation at the restaurant.”
Jiang Ranxing was driving, and Mia was sitting in the passenger seat. On the way, Mia's phone rang. She was drinking coffee and didn't have a free hand, so she just turned on the speakerphone without thinking too much about it.
"You haven't come yet? Didn't you tell me we'd meet at the hotel tonight? Are you going to leave me alone in this empty room?"
When Jiang Yan's voice came out, both women in the car were stunned. Jiang Ranxing chuckled silently, while Mia coughed awkwardly twice.
"Ahem, Brother Jiang Yan, I'm with Sister Ranxing right now. She's driving us to a dinner party, a celebration party!"
He then said quickly and quietly, "I'm on speakerphone."
Jiang Ranxing couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Alright, just say what you want to say. I'm not that old-fashioned, and I don't want to interfere in your relationship."
"But brother, don't be too impatient. At least let us have a meal, otherwise we won't have any energy."
Mia blushed slightly: "Sister Ranxing! What are you saying..."
"I didn't say anything. I just said that we've been working hard all day and we won't have any energy if we don't eat. What were you thinking?" Jiang Ranxing teased Mia with a smile.
Mia covered her face shyly.
Jiang Yan said on the other end of the phone, "Xiao Xing, stop teasing her. Okay, you guys go eat first, and contact me again after you finish eating."
"Mmm, I'll stop talking now."
"Looks like I'll soon have a very close sister-in-law, right?"
Jiang Ranxing looked at Mia, quite satisfied with this new sister-in-law. He was certain that their future in-law relationship would be very harmonious and amicable; it could be said that it was a double blessing.
Mia's face grew increasingly red, as if it were on fire.
Mia said shyly, "It's not certain yet. These things are unpredictable. You can be together and then break up, just like my ex-boyfriend and I. And you can get divorced even if you get married."
Jiang Ranxing's expression froze for a moment, and Mia realized she had said the wrong thing: "I'm sorry, sis, I didn't mean it that way. Don't overthink it. My mouth always goes before my brain."
Jiang Ranxing shook her head: "I know, I don't blame you. You're right, being together and getting married doesn't mean anything. These relationships can be broken at any time."
"However, I want to say that not everyone is the same. At least my brother is not that kind of person. Once he sets his mind on someone, it's for life. He is not as fickle as Fu Shenyuan or many men. You can feel at ease dating my brother. Our Jiang family welcomes you to join us."
Mia's eyes suddenly welled up with tears: "Sister Ranxing, thank you. I won't let Brother Jiang Yan down either."
Jiang Ranxing smiled and nodded.
The team members at the studio had a very enjoyable celebratory dinner. After dinner, Jiang Yan appeared at the restaurant entrance.
Mia was teased by everyone in the studio that she had found a new boyfriend.
Jiang Yan is a low-key person, so apart from his younger sister Jiang Ranxing, no one knows his identity, which makes things much easier.
Mia said, "Then I'll be going now, Sister Burning Star."
"Hurry up, I'm really afraid my brother will lock me out of the house if I'm any later."
"That's not an exaggeration at all, it can't be."
"Alright, go on your date, I won't hog you anymore."
Jiang Yan picked up Mia and then looked at Jiang Ranxing.
"Xiaoxing, shall I have someone take you home?"
"I'm driving myself, bro. You guys should hurry up and go. I don't want to waste your time on your romantic night. Go on your way."
Jiang Ranxing didn't say anything more. After saying goodbye to them, he drove away.
Instead of returning to the Jiang family home immediately, she drove to the beach.
It was already dark at the beach, with only the streetlights on the coastal road still lit, illuminating the tranquility of this place.
After getting off the bus, Jiang Ranxing sat alone by the sea for a long time, thinking about many things.
Lately, she always feels like there's a fog in her head that she can't shake off, which keeps bringing back fragments of memories, but whenever she tries to delve deeper into those memories, she can't recall anything at all.
This feeling is even stronger when you get to the beach.
She had an idea, or you could say, a curiosity.
Is she really different from the person she was in the past? Is there some particularly unforgettable memory that she has forgotten?
She also worried about what would happen if those memories were all related to Fu Shenyuan.
Jiang Ranxing recalled what her doctor had told her.
"Ms. Jiang, memory loss is a very common medical condition. Some people forget painful things, while others forget pleasant things. Everyone's situation is different. You may have forgotten all of these things. If you want to regain this memory, you must be prepared to accept any possible outcome, whether it's good or bad. You need to think this through carefully."
Jiang Ranxing hadn't really thought it through, because she didn't know if remembering it would be a good thing for her.
Perhaps it's not necessarily a bad thing for people to have shortcomings.
But there was always a voice in my heart clamoring, "You should remember, Jiang Ranxing."
Jiang Ranxing could only console herself that she was probably too tired from work lately, and that she should take a few days off.
But remembering that he had promised Grandpa Fu to visit the old house, Jiang Ranxing felt that he should take care of these things before resting.
Two days later, Jiang Ranxing entered the gate of the Fu family's old mansion with a gift as a gift.
The butler knocked on the door and said, "Master, Young Madam Sun has come to see you."
