A stock clerk passed by pushing a shelf and interrupted, "Hello, can you lend me that?"
I pulled Jiang Lai back and asked, "What did you just say?"
"She can't be your father-in-law's biological daughter, right?"
Jiang Lai looked very excited.
I frowned, "Not really... She is two years older than Fu Qichuan."
If you want to cheat, it shouldn't be so early, right?
"Why wouldn't that be a problem?"
Jiang Lai didn't take it seriously and excitedly chatted about the gossip of wealthy families. "They're such a mess. Marrying one wife at home and having several mistresses outside is just a normal practice."
"But……"
I still felt something was wrong. "If Fu Jinan is really his biological daughter, and Grandpa hates Fu Jinan so much, why didn't he tell Grandpa?"
It would definitely be different when treating your own granddaughter.
Jiang Lai thought it made sense and started to wonder, "You mean that? If Fu Jinan is really his biological daughter, and he watched Fu Qichuan and Fu Jinan get together, isn't that incest?"
I nodded and said nothing more. Jiang Lai suddenly said, "No, it's still strange. It doesn't make sense no matter how I think about it."
"Don't think about it, it has nothing to do with us."
I poked her head and handed her a bag of potato chips. "Here, your favorite is tomato flavor."
Anyway, it will be next month soon.
Once the divorce certificate is obtained, Fu Qichuan and I will be people from two different worlds from now on, not to mention my father-in-law and Fu Jinan.
Not to mention that they are biological daughters, even if they really sleep in the same bed as Jiang Lai Ma did, it has nothing to do with me.
…
The place we had dinner in the evening was a private Cantonese restaurant, and Jiang Lai and I went there first.
When Lu Shiyan came, Jiang Lai glanced at the empty space behind him, curled his lips sarcastically, and said nothing.
I saw through it immediately and asked, "Senior, isn't He Ting here?"
In the past, whenever there was a place called Jianglai, He Ting would join in no matter what.
"he……"
Lu Shiyan also knew about his relationship with Jiang Lai, and hesitated to speak, saying, "He has something to do today."
Jiang Lai knew it all clearly, "He went on a blind date. His family is trying to arrange a marriage for him."
“…”
I was stunned for a moment, feeling an indescribable helplessness, but it wasn't a surprise either. I just didn't expect this day to come so soon.
In fact, the relationship between Jiang Lai and him was doomed to have no results from the beginning.
Just like me and Fu Qichuan, if it weren't for grandpa, how could I have the qualifications to marry into a family like the Fu family.
When we landed, I didn't try to persuade Jiang Lai to do anything.
Jiang Lai spoke first, "Ruan Ruan, you represented F&A in the design competition and won first place, but you've already resigned. What about the joint payment?"
Hearing this, I was stunned and looked at Lu Shiyan, "Yes, Senior, I have already resigned from Fu's..."
Lu Shiyan raised the corners of his eyes, "Are you interested in coming to MS?"
"Going to MS?"
My eyes widened, I couldn't believe what I heard.
Most of the MS designers have won awards in international competitions or have made their mark.
I don’t have the qualifications yet, and I’ve never dared to think about it.
Lu Shiyan nodded and curled his lips. "I remember that the brand you admired most in college was MS."
"Lu Shiyan, I noticed that you have a very good memory about our Ruan Ruan family."
Jiang Lai became interested. "She said something. Is there anything you don't remember?"
I immediately dug my toes into the ground, feeling extremely embarrassed. Just as I was about to find some excuse for her, I heard Lu Shiyan reply indifferently, "Not yet."
“…”
Jiang Lai quickly turned her head and looked at me, with ambiguous hints almost overflowing from her.
I was also a little confused, but when I saw Lu Shiyan's calm and composed look, I felt that this was definitely not what Jiang Lai understood.
Besides, Lu Shiyan has a crush on someone, and he has liked her for ten years. How could he possibly be interested in someone like me who just got divorced?
Lu Shiyan refilled my corn juice and said, "Don't rush to answer. Think about it first."
"good."
My heart is still pounding.
After all, this is a brand I've longed for for so many years, and it suddenly becomes readily available, like a dream.
After dinner, Jiang Lai asked Lu Shiyan to take me home, saying that she had to go to the next place.
After getting in the car, I said helplessly, "Sorry to trouble you again."
"What's the trouble? I'm a soft-hearted person who eats people's food and is short-handed when receiving people's money."
Lu Shiyan laughed and teased.
I chuckled, "You didn't even let me pay, thank you..."
In the middle of the meal, he went to pay the bill under the pretext of answering a phone call.
His cold, slender fingers rested on the steering wheel, a natural elegance evident in him. He glanced over and interrupted, "You treated me, I paid. It makes no difference. If you want to thank me again, you should treat me to dinner again."
"oh……"
I shrugged and let him lead me astray.
I gave him the address of Linjiangyuan. Since Fu Qichuan didn't promise me that he would go to get the certificate as scheduled, he would not live here anymore.
And presumably, he never came back after I moved away.
It’s not a good idea for me to stay in Jianglai for a long time, so it’s better for me to move back to Linjiangyuan first.
When I arrived at Linjiangyuan, I got out of the car and shivered at the cold wind blowing in from the garage vent. I quickly gathered my coat and waved to Lu Shiyan, "Go back soon, bye! Drive slower!"
As soon as he looked at me, his whole body was filled with tenderness. "Well, I know. Go up quickly."
"Okay."
I agreed and ran into the apartment building without looking back.
It’s finally not that cold anymore.
When I opened the door and saw the lights on, I was stunned for a moment. Was there a thief? Or did I forget to turn off the lights when I stayed at Jiang Lai's house last time?
And the next moment, I frowned.
At the entrance, there is a pair of shiny men's leather shoes. They are custom-made and not available on the market.
Fu Qichuan's tall figure stood on the balcony, with a flickering scarlet color on his fingertips.
"Why are you here?"
He seemed to be distracted. When I approached and spoke, his back stiffened. He turned around, stubbed out his cigarette with his bare hands, and said in a voice filled with the chill of early winter, "Did he send you back?"
"right."
I admitted it generously, "You haven't told me yet, why are you here? Or do you want to go back on your word and not give me this apartment anymore?"
He touched his teeth with the tip of his tongue. "Am I such a stingy person?"
"Then please leave."
"You're so anxious to draw a line between you and me,"
Fu Qichuan frowned slightly, his dark eyes gleaming with a cold and fierce look, "Do you think Lu Shiyan is a good person? The Lu family's influence is no less than that of the Fu family!"
"That has nothing to do with you, Fu Qichuan. We shouldn't interfere in each other's lives, okay?" I was exhausted from this matter.
He didn't respond, but walked to the coffee table with a cold look on his face, took out a paper bag, and handed it to me without saying a word.
Out of nowhere, he said, "You keep this."
