Chapter 197 It’s too late after all



Anticipating that she would ask this question, Wu Qian had already prepared his response.

However, at this moment, being stared at by her sharp eyes, Wu Qian still felt guilty.

He lowered his eyes slightly, avoiding her gaze.

"Well, you have to ask Mr. Fu yourself."

"After all, I'm just Mr. Fu's assistant. There are some people and things I don't know."

"Mr. Fu personally contacted you about renting office space for your law firm."

Hua Qi narrowed her eyes slightly, her cold gaze moving back and forth on his face, "You are not lying to me, are you?"

Wu Qian raised his eyes and smiled, "Lawyer Hua has a sharp eye. How dare I lie to you?"

Hua Qi frowned slightly. "These past few days, Fu Jiusi hasn't disappeared from my sight except when he went to the bathroom. He hasn't even called me during this time."

"Tell me, when did he personally do such a big thing?"

Wu Qian smiled and said, "Maybe I didn't express myself clearly. Let me say it again."

"President Fu personally contacted them about renting the office space, and I was responsible for running errands and handling the paperwork."

"As for how to communicate, the media is so advanced nowadays, email, text messages, and WeChat can all be used."

Wu Qian said as he opened the car door and waited for her to get in.

After getting in the car, she took out a pen from her bag and drew a relationship diagram on her notebook.

First draw a big triangle and fill Fu Jiusi, Second Brother, and Ninth Master into the three corners respectively.

Around the triangle, write the names of Fu Family, Wen Family, and Wan Family respectively.

Staring at the few words on the paper, she frowned and pondered all the way, but still couldn't figure it out.

Alas, I still know too little about the upper class of the imperial capital.

I have no idea where to start to manage this network of relationships.

Wu Qian drove the car steadily to a stop in front of the Maogu Group office building, got out immediately and opened the door for her.

Hua Qi didn't rush to get out of the car. She looked up into his eyes and asked, "Master Jiu, what's your name?"

Wu Qian smiled and calmly shook his head, "I've been with President Fu for so long, and I've never heard anyone mention Jiu Ye's name."

"Then have you met Master Jiu?" Hua Qi asked.

Wu Qian nodded slightly, "I have seen it."

Hua Qi's eyes lit up, "What does he look like?"

Wu Qian looked slightly to the upper left, as if reminiscing.

Seeing his micro-expression, Hua Qi's doubts about him were dispelled.

Wu Qian said slowly, "Master Jiu, he's very tall and has a great figure. You can tell at a glance that he works out every day."

"He's also good-looking, imposing, and domineering."

"But, one look at his eyes tells me he's a ruthless person. Just as the rumors say, he's ruthless, dark and ruthless."

Hua Qi, "What brought you to meet Master Jiu?"

At this time, Wu Qian's cell phone rang.

"Sorry, I have to take a call first."

"This call came just in time," Hua Qi murmured as she looked at his back.

Entering the Maogu Group office building.

As she entered, the receptionist stood up and bowed.

Hua Qi handed over his business card and said, "I'm looking for Mr. Wen."

The front desk clerk said, "Sorry, our Premier Wen is on vacation."

Hua Qi, "When will you be back?"

The receptionist shook her head. "We don't know about that. Mr. Wen's assistant, Mr. Xu Fengyao, is still at the company. How about we make an appointment for you?"

"No, thank you." Hua Qi turned and left.

She came today just to see Landy Wen.

The two sisters formally got to know each other again and asked Wen Lan about the people and things in the upper class circles of the capital.

Since I haven’t seen it, it means the time is not right. Let’s wait a little longer.

Back to the car.

Wu Qian asked, "Lawyer Hua, where are we going next?"

Hua Qi was worried and said, "I want to go see Master."

Wu Qian immediately opened the navigation and entered Dijing Villa.

Halfway through the journey, Hua Qi sighed, "Forget it, I'm not going anymore."

"I haven't figured out how to tell Master about these things."

"How about taking you back to the Fu residence now?" Wu Qian asked. "You can discuss this with Mr. Fu when you get back."

"Take me to the bar where I met Fu Jiusi," Hua Qi opened the group chat [Three Musketeers] and sent the bar location.

Then, he sent a message to Fu Jiusi: Send me the photo of the marriage certificate. I’m inviting my fifth and sixth brothers to dinner tonight.

Fu Jiusi replied immediately: Where can I invite you?

Hua Qi: You don’t have to come. I’ll call you next time.

After waiting for a long time, he still didn't send the photo of the marriage certificate.

Hua Qi: Do you have to come?

Fu Jiusi: What do you think?

Hua Qi: Then you, dress nicely.

Half an hour later, we arrived at the bar.

Zuo Chuan had already arrived and was standing at the door of the bar making a phone call.

Hua Qi quietly approached him from behind and suddenly jumped out to scare him.

Zuo Chuan had already spotted her and pretended to throw her over his shoulder, then picked her up, spun her around in the air, and then gently put her down.

Hua Qi was still in shock when she saw Wu Qian pushing Fu Jiusi towards her.

Meeting the knife-wielding gaze of his second senior brother, Zuo Chuan was terrified.

I thought: It’s over! Second Brother is going to kill me!

Hua Qi looked at Fu Jiusi's clothes and felt that they looked familiar, as if he was wearing the same clothes that he had worn the night they met in the bar.

When she got to him, Fu Jiusi spread her hands slightly and asked, "How about it, does my husband look good in this outfit?"

Zuo Chuan stood nearby, looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, not sure whether he should be able to hear or was temporarily deaf.

Hua Qi patted Zuo Chuan's shoulder and said, "Let me formally introduce you. This is my husband."

Zuo Chuan glanced at Fu Jiusi and said, "I know. I saw you two go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get your marriage certificate."

"When are you two going to tell Master?"

"I asked you and Fifth Brother to come here tonight to discuss this matter," Hua Qi pulled Zuo Chuan into the bar.

Fu Jiusi looked at the two figures standing shoulder to shoulder and almost stood up from the wheelchair.

Entered the box and took a seat.

Zuo Chuan snapped his fingers and stretched out his hand, "Marriage certificate, let me see it!"

Hua Qi opened his hand and said, "Fifth Brother, you still don't know that I got the marriage certificate, right?"

"Wait until Fifth Brother comes, and then you can watch it together."

"Remember, you have to pretend like you just found out, otherwise Fifth Brother will get jealous."

Pei Qi heard every word of these words while standing at the door.

His heart seemed to fall into an icy cave and was swallowed up by endless darkness in an instant.

He pounded his fist against the wall beside the door. The heavy punch scratched the flesh at the joints of his palm, and blood slowly seeped out, staining a small area of ​​the wall red.

He seemed unconscious, and the piercing pain could not compare to the torment in his heart at the moment.

His eyes became empty and lifeless, staring blankly at the injured hand, but his thoughts had already drifted away.

Memories came flooding back like a tide, and every little detail of my time with Xiaoqi kept emerging in my mind.

Every smile, every word, at this moment, became a sharp blade that pierced his heart.

His body slowly slid down the wall and finally collapsed on the ground.

His head was buried deeply between his arms, his shoulders kept shaking, and suppressed sobs came out of his throat, which was the sound of heartbreak.

It's too late after all...
