Chapter 141 Escaping Her Questions
Jiang Ranxing's beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly as she glanced at the time on her phone after seeing the message.
At 8:33 PM, she had no idea that Fu Shenyuan would be holding a meeting at this hour.
Fu Shenyuan never schedules work meetings for the evening.
She couldn't help but doubt the credibility of that statement.
Jiang Ranxing didn't want to type anything, as it was too troublesome. She wanted to end things directly, but since Fu Shenyuan wasn't answering the phone, she had no choice but to reply with a message.
Have you finalized the divorce agreement? Once it's signed, you can send it to me. I'll also send you the copy I have.
Jiang Ranxing also didn't want to meet and talk with Fu Shenyuan anymore.
It would be best to sign them and mail them to each other.
Next time we meet, it would be best to complete the divorce proceedings right outside the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Fu Shenyuan: [Some things are still uncertain, let's wait and see.]
When Jiang Ranxing saw this message, she was a little confused. Why was Fu Shenyuan dragging his feet like this? What did he mean by it? What was he planning to do?
What was he still suspicious about? She really had no intention of setting up any hidden traps for him in the divorce agreement.
Jiang Ranxing replied: "[Does President Fu really need to look at such a simple document for so long? Are you kidding me?]"
Jiang Ranxing was losing patience.
Fu Shenyuan: [No, I'm very busy lately. I haven't found a lawyer yet. Please wait a little longer.]
She understood perfectly well how he was being politely declined.
Jiang Ranxing instantly realized that she wouldn't be able to get anything out of Fu Shenyuan today, so she checked the time and replied to him.
[By next week, I hope Mr. Fu will have already consulted a lawyer and given me a clear answer.]
Jiang Ranxing was going abroad in the next few days and didn't have the time or the mood to continue talking to Fu Shenyuan about things that weren't of any real importance.
After returning to China, Fu Shenyuan should have thoroughly reviewed the agreement by then, and she can come to him again.
That's perfect, she'll be very busy abroad these days and won't have time to deal with these personal matters.
No matter how much she urged him, it seemed that Fu Shenyuan was unwilling to give an explanation.
Fu Shenyuan replied again: [We'll talk when you get back.]
After Fu Shenyuan sent the message, Jiang Ranxing looked at the message interface and did not reply.
He gripped the thin phone tightly, the veins on his hands bulging from the force.
He suddenly felt a surge of restlessness in his heart.
Looking at the unfinished business project proposal on the table, he lost all interest in continuing to read it.
That divorce agreement lingered in her mind.
Fu Shenyuan sighed, pressed the intercom, and let Tan Shen in.
Tan Shen pushed open the door and walked in, saying, "President Fu, is there anything I can do for you?"
Fu Shenyuan was putting on his suit jacket when he said, "Is there a new shopping mall investment project overseas? Can you make some arrangements? We're going abroad tomorrow."
Tan Shen was stunned. Why would President Fu need to go there personally for that project?
Tan Shen reminded him, "President Fu, there are dedicated personnel overseas to handle this, so you don't need to make this trip. There's a new real estate project in City A that's waiting for your approval."
Fu Shenyuan's gaze darkened: "Postpone it for now, go abroad first."
Since President Fu has said so, Tan Shen has nothing more to say.
Tan Shen replied, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
However, he didn't understand why President Fu insisted on going abroad.
It was too sudden, and it wasn't like Fu Shenyuan's usual way of doing things.
He wouldn't easily change a pre-determined itinerary for any reason.
Fu Shenyuan was also thinking about this question as he sat in the car on his way back to the villa.
He didn't need to go to the overseas project; his subordinates would report to him.
However, if I stay in China, I will have to face the divorce agreement proposed by Jiang Ranxing.
Jiang Ranxing has been urging him recently.
But in fact, he had kept that agreement on the bookshelf in his study and never opened it again.
Ever since Jiang Ranxing came to the Fu Group with his lawyer, he has been feeling very irritable.
It seems like something's not right with anything I do, like some things aren't organized properly, but I can't pinpoint exactly what's in the mess.
This feeling is not comfortable.
Especially after Jiang Ranxing asked him that question, he felt even more uncomfortable.
He was subconsciously avoiding Jiang Ranxing and the divorce agreement.
In this situation, he might as well go abroad for a few days; perhaps things would be better that way.
Perhaps if he goes abroad and changes his environment, he will be more clear-headed when he comes back and won't do something like this again.
These were things that he usually considered childish and foolish.
When he saw the call from Jiang Ranxing, he instinctively hung up.
He even said he was in a meeting, just to avoid hearing any questioning from Jiang Ranxing.
Fu Shenyuan looked at the dazzling night view outside the window and suddenly smiled.
What is he doing?
When did he start avoiding questions?
When did he stop wanting to hear Jiang Ranxing's harsh voice?
Fu Shenyuan closed his eyes wearily.
After an unknown amount of time, Tan Shen's voice rang out: "President Fu, we've arrived at the villa."
Fu Shenyuan opened his eyes and looked at the familiar Green Mountain Villa in front of him.
Fu Shenyuan hummed in agreement, got out of the car, and walked into the villa.
The butler waited at the door and took Fu Shenyuan's coat.
He changed into slippers and went inside.
Lin Xuesha saw him, put down her phone, and walked over with a smile: "Shen Yuan, you're back so late today? Xiao Che and Yi Yi have already gone to bed."
Fu Shenyuan glanced upstairs, then looked at Lin Xuesha and said, "I've been working on some things, why aren't you asleep yet?"
"Of course I've been waiting for you. I made some food for dinner. Would you like some late-night snack? I'll have someone heat it up."
Lin Xuesha said.
Fu Shenyuan moved to the kitchen and looked at the red and spicy dishes on the table. He had just had some appetite, but suddenly lost his desire to eat.
But he couldn't bear to see Lin Xuesha sad, so he said, "No need, I'm not very hungry, I won't eat."
Lin Xuesha didn't say anything: "Okay, then you go take a shower first."
Fu Shenyuan stroked her long, black hair and walked upstairs.
When he reached the halfway point of the stairs, he could just see the kitchen.
In a daze, he seemed to see Jiang Ranxing wearing an apron, busy in the kitchen.
Jiang Ranxing would usually say to him, "Shen Yuan, go take a shower first. I've made you some light soup for a midnight snack."
Jiang Ranxing turned around, looked up at his spot on the stairs, and smiled, holding a large bone china soup spoon in his hand. His smile was bright and warm.
"I know you don't like eating anything too greasy at night, so I made winter melon soup today without any oil. I'm sure you'll like it, and it'll definitely warm you up."
Jiang Ranxing would say this.
Jiang Ranxing smiled and turned around to stir the casserole with a spoon.
She added some more nourishing ingredients to the casserole and continued to monitor the size of the fire.
Jiang Ranxing was busy in the kitchen, which was filled with a warm atmosphere called home.
Fu Shenyuan thought that he seemed to be missing those feelings.
"Shen Yuan, Shen Yuan? What are you thinking about?"
Lin Xuesha asked.
Lin Xuesha's voice shattered the illusion.
Fu Shenyuan snapped out of his reverie and smiled at Lin Xuesha: "It's nothing."
Then he continued walking upstairs.
He returned to the guest bedroom bathroom, and as warm water poured over his head, he realized that he had been lost in thought about Jiang Ranxing, and how he had treated her when she was still living in the villa.
The scene that flashed through his mind in that instant was so real that he didn't even realize he was lost in thought.
Why did I suddenly think of Jiang Ranxing?
It seems no one can give him that answer.
Fu Shenyuan closed his eyes in the mist, trying to find some answer in his mind.
However, all of this was in vain.
After taking a shower, he was supposed to go to bed, but he unexpectedly walked into the study.
As he sat down in the study chair, his gaze unconsciously fell on the black folder on the bookshelf.
Fu Shenyuan picked it up as if possessed and opened the folder.
The five bolded characters of "Divorce Agreement" were once again laid out before him.
The document outlines all the terms and conditions for the divorce between Party A, Jiang Ranxing, and Party B, Fu Shenyuan, and none of them are particularly controversial.
Fu Shenyuan's eyes were somewhat dejected. He used his fingers to flip the paper to the last page.
On the client's side, Jiang Ranxing's handwriting is clear and neat.
However, the space for Party B was still empty; he still hadn't signed his name.
