Chapter 383 Her protective nature towards her family VS His soft heart towards his accomplice (41)
After leaving the office building, Ji Chen's complexion was not good, and there was a hint of depression between his brows and eyes.
He really didn't expect that Fu Chengyan would abandon all pretense of dignity and expose everything to the public, even bringing it to his older brother's attention.
Given the current situation, the family's misunderstanding of Jiang Zhiyi must be very deep, which will inevitably affect the future development of their relationship.
This is really tricky.
It was because he hadn't thought things through beforehand and hadn't taken the initiative.
Since that's the case, he can no longer allow this threat to exist...
A hint of ruthlessness slowly flashed in his eyes.
...
School.
Jiang Zhiyi had just graduated from school when her younger brother's transfer to another school encountered a small problem, and the procedures couldn't be completed, so she came to handle it.
However, the problem remains unresolved.
She stood by the flower bed at the school gate, holding her phone, the screen having been stuck on the dial pad for quite some time.
The contact's name on the screen was clearly written as "Fu Chengyan".
Who else would get involved in this? She could guess without even thinking.
Back then, Fu Chengyan handled almost all the household affairs for her; she relied on him the most.
Originally, she thought that after the two broke up, she would no longer rely on his resources, and she was even prepared to be dealt with by him.
But to her surprise, he didn't do anything wrong. Her younger siblings' schooling and her relatives' jobs were not affected.
She had a very positive outlook, thinking that he was being generous and kind, and that he didn't intend to involve her innocent family in their affair.
But now it seems that things are not as simple as she thought.
He didn't let go; he continued to hold on, intending to use these things to control her and force her to come to him on her own initiative.
He didn't actually punish her, but he wanted to force her to apologize.
Jiang Zhiyi sighed.
He is, after all, a businessman, and a businessman who has achieved the highest level of success. How could he allow himself to suffer a loss?
After thinking for a long time, she finally made the call.
She didn't get through for a while, so she had to call a few more times.
The person who answered the phone was Fu Chengyan's secretary.
After learning of her intentions, a few minutes later, the secretary gave her an address, saying that Fu Chengyan was attending a cocktail party there and that if she wanted to see him, she could wait at the entrance.
Jiang Zhiyi responded and then hung up the phone.
This situation is not surprising. Given her current status, how could she possibly summon someone over with just a phone call like before?
However, since his secretary provided the address, it means she can meet him; otherwise, they wouldn't have revealed even this address.
She remembered a time when, out of sheer playfulness, she had driven his usual car by herself, intending to go for a drive.
As she was crossing an intersection, a person suddenly rushed out and blocked her car.
In her panic, she had no time to react and knocked the person several meters away.
It was later learned that this person's company was facing bankruptcy and he wanted Fu Chengyan's help, but he had no choice and couldn't find Fu Chengyan at all. So the person had to stake out the area for several days, and then did something as dangerous as stopping a car on the spot.
She didn't know what happened to that person after that, and Fu Chengyan handled everything for her.
...
Jiang Zhiyi waited at the door for half an hour.
Today she wore a pair of shoes with a little high heel, and her feet started to feel uncomfortable after standing for a long time.
A surge of anger rose within her, along with a vague sense of being wronged. She could only try to calm herself down and reassure herself that it was nothing.
Thinking back to the times when Fu Chengyan would sometimes pick her up, she would often spend an hour or two upstairs making him wait. She just thought that now the tables had turned and everyone has their low points.
Not long after, a person came out of the door. He looked somewhat familiar and seemed to be one of Fu Chengyan's secretaries.
"Miss Jiang, please come with me."
She followed the people inside.
"President Fu is inside, please go in." The secretary only saw her to the door.
Jiang Zhiyi took a few deep breaths and pushed open the door.
She hadn't seen him for a long time, and now she felt a little out of sorts. Her heart was pounding, and she didn't know if it was from nervousness or something else.
Fu Chengyan was sitting there alone. He didn't even look up when she came in, and just kept drinking tea.
She sat down directly in front of him.
"What do you want?" he asked.
Jiang Zhiyi cut to the chase: "My younger brother wanted to transfer schools, but he couldn't. Did you do that?"
"What evidence do you have to prove that I did it?" He raised an eyebrow. "Why don't you just say it's because you didn't pay enough, so they were unwilling to process your application?"
Jiang Zhiyi understood his meaning and became even more impatient. "I don't want to argue with you about this right now. If you have any problems, you can come at me. Don't use my younger brother and sister to threaten me."
Fu Chengyan then looked up at her and said, "Coming at you? How else could they come at you? Aren't they the ones you care about the most?"
"You—" Her anger intensified, her eyes stung, and she frowned as she looked at him.
Fu Chengyan stared at her face for a long time, then laughed: "What? Can't your good lover help you?"
"Shut up!"
He ignored her and continued, "Is it that he doesn't want to help, or are you simply not prepared to tell him? You don't want him to know that you and I are still so entangled, do you?"
"What are you worried about? Are you afraid he'll find your family troublesome, afraid he won't bother to help you, afraid he'll look down on you because of these things?"
Jiang Zhiyi's anger flared instantly. "He wouldn't do that! He's much better than you!"
Anger, dissatisfaction, resentment, grievance... all sorts of emotions were stirred up by his few words.
She couldn't control herself at all; she couldn't help but want to get angry at him and lose her temper.
She picked up the teacup in front of her and threw it at him.
The teacup smashed against the wall behind him, shattering into pieces that littered the floor.
Her voice trembled slightly, and it carried a hint of anger.
"So what? What do you mean? You're saying I made the wrong choice, you're saying I shouldn't have left... Should I just stay by your side obediently, be your mistress, and have a few illegitimate children that can't be brought to the table?"
