On the way to dinner, I thought about what had just happened and still felt confused.
When Fu Jinan asked that question, I actually expected Fu Qichuan to say something to defend me.
For example, "She has a right to take my money." "Does she need your consent to take my money?"
How did Fu Qichuan answer?
He said, "Grandpa bought her this car."
This shut Fu Jinan up.
But this car was clearly the Valentine's Day gift he gave me not long ago.
When Fu Jinan was making a fuss, he didn't recognize that the car was mine, so that's all.
He also forgot how the car came about.
Or maybe he said, he remembered.
He didn't want Fu Jin'an to know that he was actually quite nice to me.
How could I, Madam Fu, be so dishonest that I couldn't even share the property of my husband and wife? And I had to hide it from my former lover.
But he could deliver a car to Fu Jinan in front of me, and coax her coldly, "Okay, you're thirty years old, so what's the point of being willful? It's the same if you buy the same model. It won't take long to change the color."
Looking at the night scene outside the car with bright lights just coming on, I suddenly felt sad and nauseous.
Whatever you give me, you can give the same thing to someone else.
Jiang Lai was driving and asked, "Are you still thinking about what happened just now?"
"Um."
I know that the divorce will not be changed.
But I am still afraid of being disappointed again and again.
Jiang Lai narrowed his eyes, but didn't curse as usual. He just said, "If she really drives the same car as you, I'll teach her a lesson."
"What do you want to do?" I sensed something was wrong.
"Don't worry, I know what's going on. Just focus on your pregnancy!"
The hot pot restaurant was not far from the 4S store. As soon as Jiang Lai finished speaking, the car slowly stopped in front of the store.
This shop has been open for more than ten years. Although it is a bit out of the way, its reputation lies in its delicious taste. Every autumn and winter, many locals like to eat here, and the business is booming.
After we got out of the car, I pulled her aside and warned her, "Don't be impulsive, do you hear me? As long as I can get a divorce from him smoothly, nothing else matters."
"I heard it, I heard it."
Jiang Lai nodded perfunctorily and went to the store door to get a number and queue up.
When we saw the number of tables we had to wait for, Jiang Lai and I were stunned.
Forty or fifty tables, how long will it take to get in line?
Just as I was getting annoyed, someone upstairs opened the window and said in a nonchalant tone, "Little Lailai, come up quickly! We've already taken our seats!"
It’s He Ting.
I didn't expect that this young man would come to such a place with such a strong atmosphere of fireworks.
Jiang Lai came to bother him, but when he heard that he had a seat, his eyes lit up and he took me upstairs.
A semi-open private room, where He Ting and Lu Shiyan were both.
He Ting was dressed like a wealthy man as always, while Lu Shiyan preferred casual wear and was gentle and elegant.
I greeted them with a smile.
"A follower."
After Jiang Lai finished greeting He Ting, he sat down while scolding him, "I shouldn't have told you I was coming here to eat."
"Hehe, if I don't come, how long will you have to wait?" He Ting was quite shameless.
"If Ruan Ruan didn't want to eat, I wouldn't bother to accept your favor." Jiang Lai retorted to him mercilessly.
He didn't care at all and looked at me with a smile, "Then I owe it to my sister-in-law."
The hot pot restaurant was steaming hot and bustling with people. The private room was surrounded by only a layer of bamboo curtain, which did not block out the hustle and bustle outside.
The pot was bubbling, and the freshly killed fish was cooked fragrantly in the butter pot.
The appetite of the people is opened.
He Ting poured us drinks and spoke seriously for once, "Come, let's raise our glasses and congratulate Shi Yan on becoming the CEO of MS's Asia-Pacific branch."
I looked at Lu Shiyan in surprise, "Senior, you got into MS?"
Still an executive.
Lin Nianqi often told me how much she admired Lu Shiyan, but it was not until this moment that I realized that his abilities far exceeded the trophies he had won.
Although the Fu Group is large, it only dabbles in clothing. Its main focus is on industries such as real estate, artificial intelligence, and semiconductors.
MS is one of the true top luxury brands and the ultimate goal that most people in the design world aspire to.
There was a faint smile between Lu Shiyan's eyebrows, "Yeah, it's just been decided."
"He just let go."
He Ting didn't allow him to keep a low profile. "MS had been in contact with him before he left the country. He hadn't thought it through, so he kept putting it off until now."
Not to mention Lin Nian, I couldn't help but admire him and said with a smile, "Senior, it seems that Jiangda will be writing a column for you soon. I wish you a great honor."
Speaking of which, Fu Qichuan has been writing columns on campus at Jiangnan University for a long time. Even though he has graduated for many years, there are still many Jiangnan University students who are his fans.
Perhaps, he should be the star in the sky, and I shouldn't dream of claiming him as my own.
"So, you are here today to celebrate Senior Lu joining MS?" Jiang Lai asked while eating.
"yes."
He Ting nodded, "Eat quickly, there's still the second half later."
He said, taking a heartless look, "It's a pity that Brother Chuan is busy, otherwise you guys..."
I can see that he doesn't want me and Fu Qichuan to divorce.
"Even eating can't shut your mouth."
Jiang Lai quickly stuffed a piece of brown sugar rice cake into his mouth.
I curled my lips and said, "It's nothing to regret."
He has people he wants to be with.
Since you are getting divorced, it is normal for you to live your own lives.
Yes, it's normal.
When I went downstairs after dinner, perhaps because I was absent-minded, I missed a step on the stairs. Fortunately, a big hand held me firmly and I didn't fall.
After I stabilized myself, Lu Shiyan reminded me gently, "Be careful, are you okay?"
"fine."
I just sprained my ankle.
However, I didn’t expect the sprain to be quite serious. The pain made me gasp every time I walked.
Lu Shiyan frowned, "Does it hurt?"
"It's okay."
I smiled and limped down the stairs holding the stair railing.
Seeing Jiang Lai and He Ting coming down to pay the bill first, he said helplessly, "I sprained my ankle. You guys go to the second half. I have to go home first."
"Is it serious? Do we need to go to the hospital?" Jiang Lai asked with concern.
"It's okay, just a small problem."
I handed her the car keys and said, "You can't drive, so I can only give them to you."
"Then how are you going to get there? Take a taxi? Or let me take you there first."
"How about I send Nanzhi off?"
After Lu Shiyan made the proposal, he looked at the time and said helplessly: "I have a video conference tonight, so I can't go to the second half with you."
"That would be great."
He Ting was of course happy to hear that. He pulled Jiang Lai up and said, "Then I'll give my sister-in-law to you."
Jiang Lai didn't struggle and just made a gesture to me saying "call me if you need anything".
I laughed and nodded, "Okay."
There are no guardrails here. Lu Shiyan held my arm and sent me to the car. He said worriedly, "Let's go to the hospital. A sprain can be serious or minor."
"How can it be so serious?"
I chuckled, "A night's rest will be enough."
"Then wait for me in the car for a few minutes."
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked away with his long legs.
After a while, he came over with a bag, walked around the front of the car, sat in the driver's seat, and handed the bag to me.
He looked at me and said helplessly, "If you don't want to go to the hospital, you still have to apply some medicine."
"Thanks……"
"What did you promise me the day before yesterday?" He interrupted with a chuckle, a hint of teasing in his smile.
"oh."
I remembered it, stopped talking, and smiled slyly: "Then... please trouble me, senior."
"You."
He smiled helplessly, shook his head, said nothing more, and drove away.
The lights are just coming on and the traffic is flowing heavily, but the speed is not fast.
There was a soothing Cantonese old song playing in the car, which aroused some chaotic thoughts in me.
"Nanzhi, are you... not feeling well?"
Halfway through, his voice as gentle as jade suddenly sounded.
I was slightly stunned, "Why do you ask?"
"You seemed a little nauseous when you were eating just now."
