…
I couldn't help but laugh.
Fu Qichuan must be responsible for her.
Why did she come to see me?
Look for Fu Qichuan.
Fu Jinan stroked her belly and said, "You need to hurry up with the divorce procedures so as not to delay my child's household registration."
"Then you have to urge Fu Qichuan."
The group building has constant temperature air conditioning all year round. I took off my windbreaker and hung it up, then picked up the watering can to water the row of green plants in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
Since Fu Qichuan is unwilling to draw a clear line between us, I won't be in a hurry.
Let Fu Jinan deal with him.
Fu Jinan sneered, "Don't play both sides with me. On the one hand, you act like you don't care at all, and on the other hand, you cling to Ah Chuan and won't let go."
"Actually, I can understand you. You are an orphan without a father or a family. You have grasped the Fu family, a big tree that can provide you with food and clothing, so you are unwilling to let go. It's human nature."
"But Ruan Nanzhi, as a woman, you should be a little thin-skinned."
She crossed her arms and chuckled, "Don't be so persistent for a man. It will be embarrassing if it gets out."
I frowned, "...This isn't the first time we've met, why are you introducing yourself?"
Fu Jinan was choked by me, snorted lightly, and stood up and walked over.
"Don't think you can be fearless just because you have that damn old man backing you up. You just have to wait until after his 80th birthday. I wonder if you have any reason not to let go then."
"Are you done?"
"how?"
"When you're done, get out."
I pointed in the direction of the office door.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Don't rush me. Don't you want to participate in the MS design competition?"
"There are only two spots in total. Are you so stingy?"
"I'm dead."
She raised her chin, as if giving alms, "One for me, one for you, how about that?"
I thought she was deliberately trying to keep me in suspense, but then I saw her waving outside.
Her assistant brought in a document.
She handed it to me and said, "Here, take a look at the requirements for this MS design competition. The deadline is next Friday. Please send your design to my email by Wednesday."
I took it and flipped through it. "Doesn't it say here that as long as the manuscript is signed by the company, it can be sent to the MS email address?"
I don't know why, but I just don't feel at ease giving her my design draft for the competition.
Maybe it was because she and I were already on opposite sides of the enemy line, so I couldn't help but be wary.
Fu Jinan's expression flashed with embarrassment, and then he suddenly smiled, disdainfully: "You don't think I want to plagiarize your design draft, do you? That's ridiculous. Have you ever heard of someone specifically picking people who are worse than themselves to plagiarize? The director plagiarizes the deputy director, you can think of it!"
"Okay, if you want to send a MS, go ahead. It's up to you," she said.
"That's slow."
I raised my lips and ordered them to leave again.
Fu Jinan remained motionless, staring at me inquiringly: "You're not surprised, whose child is this in my belly?"
"Could it be mine?"
I smiled, but it wasn't a smile.
"What nonsense are you talking about all day long!"
"If it's not mine, why should I be curious?"
"It's Achuan's. I'm pregnant with his child, the fruit of our love for more than ten years."
She was quite proud, and her slender fingers touched her flat belly from time to time.
"Hey, I know."
"What's your attitude?"
"How should I treat a bastard?"
I threw the item on the desk and looked at her in confusion. "What wealthy family doesn't have a few illegitimate children? It's such a normal thing. You're really making a fuss out of nothing."
Her eyes widened in anger. "Illegitimate child?! You're saying that Ah Chuan and I have an illegitimate child? Ruan Nanzhi, I'm pregnant with the eldest grandson of the Fu family. You better be polite when you speak. Once I enter the Fu family, it will be easy for me to kill you."
I pointed out the direction carefully, "If you hope your child is not illegitimate, go find Fu Qichuan and ask him to divorce me quickly. Do you understand?"
"Don't make a scene here. If you cause the baby to miscarry, you'll lose another bargaining chip to marry into the Fu family."
"Send your boss out."
Finally, I told her assistant.
Fu Jinan was so angry that he jumped up and down, but he probably thought what I said made sense, so he just left it like that.
And the direction I point to doesn't matter.
As for how I knew it, I received a call from Fu Qichuan in the afternoon.
"What did you say to irritate her?"
As soon as the phone call came, the questioning began.
I stopped what I was doing and said, "Nothing much, she just urged me to get a divorce, so I asked her to find you."
His tone was slightly deep, "You didn't let her die?"
“…”
The sin of lust, right?
I'm not surprised Fu Jin'an did this, my voice softened, "I only said this because I was forced into a corner. She scolded me for being a whore and pretending to be a saint, saying I was a jinx who would bring bad luck to my father and my wife. She also said that I was persistent with men who were not my husband, and she wanted to find someone to beat me to death..."
After saying that, I recalled what Fu Jinan had said before.
Well, I don’t think I’m talking nonsense?
It's better than her making something up out of nothing. I just added a little polish.
Fu Qichuan was stunned for a moment, his tone icy, "Did she really scold you like that?"
I said, "Don't you know her yet?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and then he said helplessly, "She has been spoiled by my dad and his family since she was a child. Don't bother with her."
I pulled the corner of my mouth, "Yeah."
Men are synonymous with double standards.
One foot he questioned me about Fu Jinan's words, and the next foot he could just tell me not to take it to heart.
Why didn't he say this to Fu Jinan?
When Jiang Lai heard about this, he was so angry that he jumped out of the hospital bed like a chain gun.
"This man and woman must be crazy! Gold miners could dig their entire lives and never find this kind of divine gold!"
"It's so frustrating! I'm almost exhausted, and you still have the energy to curse?"
I quickly handed her a glass of warm water and asked her to drink more water.
As soon as I got off work in the evening, I received a call from her. It was nothing special, she was admitted to the hospital due to food poisoning.
When I arrived, she was lying alone on the hospital bed receiving IV drips. She looked so pitiful, if not for the milk and fruit fed to her by her fellow patients on the bedside table.
If you are beautiful, you will be popular everywhere.
Jiang Lai glared at me with her beautiful eyes, "You have no conscience. Am I not speaking up for you?"
"I'm not angry actually."
After these days, I've gotten used to it.
Jiang Lai peeled an orange and was about to throw it into his mouth, but I snatched it away and said, "The doctor told me not to eat raw or cold food."
She watched me eat the orange and snorted softly, "Whose child is that in Fu Jinan's belly?"
"It's not Fu Qichuan's."
What Fu Qichuan said when he cornered me in the car last night didn't sound like a lie.
And if Fu Jinan was really pregnant with the Fu family's child, she wouldn't just be making trouble here.
It will cause trouble at the Fu family, or at least at my father-in-law. Given how much my father-in-law favors her, he will fight for her reputation even if it makes my grandfather die of rage.
I heard that my father-in-law only has eyes for this stepdaughter who is not related to him by blood.
Compared to Fu Jinan, Fu Qichuan is more like a burden.
No love from my father and no care from my mother.
"That'll do."
Jiang Lai lay back on the hospital bed, clutching her stomach. "Come to think of it, no matter how much Fu Qichuan likes her, he wouldn't be so foolish as to rush into becoming a father."
However, she didn't expect that she would be slapped in the face just two days after she said this.
