Chapter 116 I'm Getting Engaged
This was an even harder question to answer, so Yun Zhaozhao forced herself to ask, "What exactly happened?"
"I don't know. You took me home that day, and then I went out again. I was drunk, and I don't remember anything..."
Fu Shangluo's face was full of pain, and there was not a single lie in his words. It was precisely because of this that he felt so uncomfortable.
Thinking of what Zhou Yueming had said, Yun Zhaozhao thought for a moment and said, "The child may not necessarily be yours."
She might not have thought of such dark things about anyone else, but not necessarily about the clerk. She may look weak, but she has a lot of tricks up her sleeve.
Yun Zhaozhao guessed that Pei Jiuyan had been tolerating her because she had something on Pei Jiuyan.
Upon hearing this, Fu Shangluo's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously grabbed Yun Zhaozhao's hand: "Zhaozhao, you believe me too, don't you?"
"Professor Fu..."
Yun Zhaozhao pulled her hand away and said slowly, "Calm down. It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not, what matters is what you do."
After all, they had known each other for a while, and she didn't want to see Fu Shangluo being completely fooled. "You can have someone investigate."
She remembered Pei Jiuyan saying that the document had a sugar daddy. She subtly hinted at it, but didn't say who it was, because Pei Jiuyan had said that this matter was very confidential, and this was the only thing she could do.
She didn't notice that Fu Shangluo's eyes flickered slightly.
"Okay, I understand. I'll look into it. Thank you, Zhao Zhao."
Fu Shangluo said he wanted to pat her head like he used to, but he restrained himself and lowered his hand halfway up.
"I'm leaving now. Don't come to the engagement ceremony."
After saying this, Fu Shangluo drove away.
Yun Zhaozhao sighed. What she didn't know was that Fu Shangluo had gone straight to his own small apartment after leaving her.
"Professor Fu..."
When the clerk saw Fu Shangluo return, she obediently went to greet him, wanting to help him with his clothes, but Fu Shangluo brushed her hand away.
The clerk didn't mind and asked with a smile, "So? Did Yun Zhaozhao empathize with you?"
Fu Shangluo didn't speak, stared at her for a while, and then asked, "Shuwen, I'll ask you one last time, are you sure the child in your belly is mine?"
The clerk was taken aback, a hint of hurt appearing in his eyes: "If you don't believe me, you can check my movements."
“After we parted ways that morning, I only went to the hospital once to get my medicine, and then I went home. A few days later, I went to the hospital again to get my medicine, and then I heard the news that Pei Jiuyan had been released, so I went into hiding.”
"For the next month, we didn't leave the house at all and survived on takeout. Even if I were shameless, I wouldn't sleep with just anyone."
As she spoke, a touch of sadness appeared on her face: "If I could, who wouldn't want to have a good background and a good family? I also want to be cherished and loved like Yun Zhaozhao."
"But did I have a choice? I was abandoned at birth and grew up in an orphanage. I didn't want to please anyone, and I wanted to live a more carefree life. But was that possible? There, you could only get food and go to school if you behaved well and pleased the headmaster."
"For this, I had to endure his frequent physical contact with me, and I had to pretend that I didn't know anything. I desperately seized every opportunity I wanted to seize. Once, I thought Pei Jiuyan was that opportunity. By chance, I saved his father, and they brought me back to the Pei family. I thought my good days had come. But no, the Pei family soon ran into trouble, and Pei Jiuyan used me as a tool to win over the powerful."
"He gave all the good things to Yun Zhaozhao, but left all the suffering to me."
"Tell me, what should I do? What can I do?"
As she spoke, large tears streamed down her face. She wasn't in pain, but wept silently, looking exceptionally pitiful.
Fu Shangluo looked at it for a while, then took out a piece of paper and handed it to her.
"You help me get Yun Zhaozhao, and I'll help you bring down Pei Jiuyan."
This was the first time he had ever looked at a document properly.
Although the two had reached a 'cooperation' agreement, he had never actually given the documents a second glance.
"……good."
The clerk nodded. "I'll help you get Yun Zhaozhao."
That's absolutely impossible!
The person she hated most in her life was Yun Zhaozhao. What she just said was half true and half false, but one thing was true: she was jealous of Yun Zhaozhao because Yun Zhaozhao had something that she had never had.
She had met so many men, knew their flaws, and also knew how to soften their hearts.
Her background and experiences, along with some half-true and half-false accusations, are enough to bring tears to everyone's eyes.
Over the years, this tactic has always been effective, except for Pei Jiuyan, whose gaze towards her has remained unchanged from beginning to end.
How could she possibly stand by and watch Yun Zhaozhao live a good life when she hates her so much?
Fu Shangluo, unaware of her thoughts, told her about meeting Yun Zhaozhao that day.
“I told her about the engagement, and her attitude towards me is much better than before.”
Although things can't go back to the way they were before, it's much better than the previous tense standoff between the two. Therefore, the written method worked.
He wanted to put himself in the shoes of a victim to make Yun Zhaozhao empathize.
Thinking of this, he glanced at the document and said, "You really do have some skills."
The document took this as a compliment and said with a faint smile, "Otherwise, how do you think I've managed to survive until now? No one can help me with anything. I can only rely on myself, and what I want to do is very simple: just live."
Upon hearing this, Fu Shangluo's eyes revealed a hint of appreciation. Although he also disliked the way the clerk handled things, he found the other party's tenacious spirit worthy of emulation.
Moreover, the clerk really knows Pei Jiuyan well. Ever since he found out that he and she were involved, Pei Jiuyan has stopped sending people to cause trouble for the clerk. It is obvious that he is happy to see the current outcome.
"Get ready, the engagement party is this weekend."
After saying this, Fu Shangluo added a reminder: "You should know what this engagement banquet is all about."
He was reminding the document that the engagement banquet was fake, and the reason why it was an engagement instead of a wedding was because the only person he wanted to marry was Yun Zhaozhao.
The clerk readily agreed, "Don't worry, I know. The only person I want is Pei Jiuyan."
Fu Shangluo was satisfied with her answer, but he underestimated the greed of the clerk.
Fu Shangluo is clearly much easier to deal with than Pei Jiuyan, and her status is no lower than Pei Jiuyan's. She is not stupid, so she naturally knows how to choose.
What's fake now can become real later.
Thinking of this, she smiled slightly.
