Fu Yinze's voice wasn't too loud, nor too soft, but it immediately caused those in the banquet hall who were subtly observing the two to reveal expressions of surprise and excitement.
After all, Fu Yinze has been involved in quite a few news stories, or rather, scandals, lately.
For example, Lu Huanhuan, the rising star who recently became a sensation; Wang Qing, the host of today's banquet from the Wang family; and...
Some of the onlookers, who had been watching the drama unfold, glanced casually at Ye Xi, the actress who was sitting not far from the door and could definitely hear Fu Yinzhe's voice. They all immediately revealed a mocking look of anticipation.
After all, this woman is incomparable to the one currently arm-in-arm with President Fu. Not only her, but many of the previous women pale in comparison. What kind of occasions did President Fu attend with those women? Some were entertainment industry parties and galas, and most were simply referred to as his female companions. But what kind of occasion was this Miss Tang? The birthday banquet of his father's best friend! Fu Yinze's father has passed away, and bringing this young lady to the 70th birthday celebration of his father's best friend is practically the same as introducing her to his parents. Moreover, she personally acknowledged that she is his girlfriend; that carries a different weight…
Isn't that just different?
In the story, Tang Ning was gradually captivated and completely fell for Fu Yinze after he took the initiative to help her resolve her father's crisis, took care of her at all times, and introduced her to many of his elders and friends.
While thinking this in her heart, Tang Ning smiled shyly at his so-called elders who came to exchange pleasantries, as introduced by Fu Yinze.
"Impossible! I don't believe it! How could the two of you be together? How could you possibly be together..."
Seeing her like that, Ye Xi, whose rationality had been on the verge of collapse ever since she saw the two of them come in hand in hand, finally lost control and shouted out in a fit of rage, not even caring about the scene in front of her.
Then, as if seeking some support and comfort, she turned to look at Fu Yuankai behind her and said in a panic, "Yuankai, Yuankai, say something! How could they be together? This is ridiculous! A joke, yes, right..."
As she spoke, Ye Xi turned to look at Fu Yinze and Tang Ning at the door, took two steps forward, and said with a smile, "It must be a joke, Yinze, why would you make such a joke for no reason? It's really not funny at all..."
Standing behind her, Fu Yuankai stared intently at the doorway. In fact, after listening to Fu Yinze's words, he felt a buzzing in his ears, which was very noisy. He could recognize each word individually, but he couldn't understand them when they were put together.
Tang Ning...girlfriend...whose girlfriend is Tang Ning?
Why is her phone always off? Tang Ning, who should be staying in their little house waiting for him to come home, is here instead.
Fu Yuankai's mind was in a state of disarray, his heart was pounding wildly and chaotically, making his breathing erratic, and his chest felt both swollen and painful.
Upon hearing Ye Xi's voice, Tang Ning, who was at the door, finally noticed the two of them. When she looked up and saw them, especially Fu Yuankai, her pupils contracted, her eyes immediately reddened, and she took a step back, subconsciously having the thought of escaping.
Fu Yin, who was the first to notice the other party's reaction, did not change his smile even under Ye Xi's reproachful and resentful gaze and Fu Yuankai's unwavering stare at Tang Ning.
He slowly pulled away the arm that Tang Ning was holding, and without even looking, he accurately grasped Tang Ning's hand. He spread his five fingers, intertwined his ten fingers, and with a slight force, he turned his head and smiled gently at Tang Ning, as if giving her boundless courage.
As the panicked and slightly sad expression on Tang Ning's face gradually faded, he withdrew his gaze, beckoned to the hotel manager who was waiting nearby, and explained in a low voice that he might have some personal matters to attend to. In order not to affect the birthday banquet, he hoped that the manager could prepare an empty room for them.
The manager looked up at Ye Xi and Fu Yuankai not far away, then at President Fu and his girlfriend, hesitated for a moment, and nodded in agreement.
Just as he was about to get up to prepare, Fu Yin called him back, "Excuse me, could you please prepare some cakes, pastries, and a cup of hot milk for my girlfriend? She's been so busy with family matters these past few days that she hasn't had a proper meal. I'm worried that if things get delayed, it might interfere with her mealtime. Thank you."
As soon as he said that, the surroundings fell silent.
This is incredible! The way they're protecting and cherishing her is definitely true love!
The group of people exchanged glances discreetly.
Ye Xi, who had been deceiving herself that Fu Yin was just joking, suddenly had tears in her eyes, while Fu Yuankai clenched his fists instantly.
As the two were led to their room on the 8th floor by the hotel staff, Fu Yin smiled and recommended to the girl beside him, "The snacks in this hotel are quite delicious. You slept too late last night and didn't eat. When I woke you up this morning, you said you didn't have much of an appetite. If you don't eat, are you going to become an immortal? Have some snacks to fill your stomach first, and then drink some milk, okay?"
Tang Ning nodded slightly. Upon hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, she froze for a moment, biting her lip hard, her gaze remaining fixed on the exquisite and beautiful pastries in front of her, without looking up.
There were other people in the banquet hall earlier, so even in her irrational state, Ye Xi didn't dare to say certain things recklessly. Now, with only the four of them in this room, Ye Xi finally couldn't help but take two steps forward, gritting her teeth, and said, "Miss Tang Ning, whose girlfriend were you before? The four of us here know that. Back when we were on the set of 'The Longevity Sword,' I felt that you were too concerned about Yin Ze, and I was even going to remind Yuan Kai. Now you actually... Do you even know what the word 'shameless' means?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Ning's body trembled slightly.
Fu Yin then took her hand and gently squeezed it to comfort her.
“Yuan Kai only went to Japan for a few days, and you actually went behind his back…”
Ye Xi, who had no right to criticize Fu Yinze and dared not, was about to continue her reckless remarks, having completely turned her attention to Tang Ning.
The next second, Fu Yin chuckled, then his gaze fell directly on Fu Yuankai, who was standing not far behind Ye Xi. "Yuankai, are you just going to let others criticize your ex-girlfriend like this? Or is this what you really think?"
Hearing this, Tang Ning, who was looking down, didn't know what expression Fu Yuankai had. She only knew that today's confrontation was most likely orchestrated by Fu Yinze. He wanted her to see clearly what kind of person her ex-boyfriend really was, so that after comparing them, she would completely break away from Fu Yuankai and willingly throw herself into his arms.
all in all--
That dog of a man is such a scoundrel!
Fu Yuankai suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Tang Ning, who was sitting next to Fu Yinze. He wanted to hear her speak, he only wanted to hear her speak. He knew she wasn't that kind of person, but he wanted to hear her say it herself. As long as she spoke, he could even treat everything that had happened before as just a nightmare, and after waking up, nothing would have really happened...
"Fu Yuankai's current favorability rating: 89."
Just then, Tang Ning heard 54088 whisper this report in her ear.
Tang Ning smiled slightly to herself.
What's this? Is it that food that's eagerly sought after is always the most delicious, or that things that are about to be lost are the most precious?
"This can be called an accusation? Isn't this just the truth...?"
Ye Xi reluctantly opened her mouth.
The next second, Fu Yin, who was sitting on the sofa, pulled out a stack of photos from somewhere and threw them at the feet of the two of them.
"So, is that also true?"
Fu Yin then asked with a smile.
At first, Ye Xi and Fu Yuankai were a little taken aback by what Fu Yinze said. But when they saw the photo, they both showed expressions of disbelief and even froze on the spot, unable to move.
The photos were taken in Japan, showing Ye Xi drunk, being carried back to her hotel by Fu Yuankai, who then took her to her room. There were even a few photos that seemed to be taken from the building across the street, showing Fu Yuankai putting Ye Xi on the bed and her reaching out to hug Fu Yuankai's neck and asking for a kiss. Because the photos were blurry and taken from different angles, they really looked like the two of them were kissing intimately.
"This can't be true? Yuan Kai... Yuan Kai did take me back to my room, but nothing really happened between us, really! Yin Ze, you have to believe me. I was drunk, I wasn't even thinking straight, I don't know what I was doing, but I know that after Yuan Kai put me down, he just left, and nothing else happened after that. You can check the surveillance footage from that day if you don't believe me..."
Ye Xi hurriedly explained in a panic.
Fu Yuankai, however, kept staring intently at the photo on the ground, feeling a chill creep up from the soles of his feet; he felt very cold.
"Heh, actually, I've always known Yuan Kai's feelings for you, and I know you like to ask him to keep you company, even when he has a girlfriend. And he's basically always there for you. Like this time, even though he didn't have any work to do in Japan, he still chose to go with you, diligently playing the role of your protector. Actually, whether these photos are real or fake, I don't care. I just hope you stop standing on your moral high ground to criticize my girlfriend. It seems like there's no reason why her boyfriend shouldn't cheat on her, and she doesn't even have the right to change boyfriends, right?"
After saying that, Fu Yin looked down at Tang Ning and the untouched snacks in front of her. "What's wrong? Don't you like it? How about I take you to say hello to Uncle Wang now, and then we'll go back, okay?"
He reached out and took Tang Ning's hand, then turned away from the two people and walked out.
But just as they were about to reach the door, Ye Xi, unwilling to give up, finally spoke again in a hoarse voice.
"You did this on purpose. Now I understand, all those rumors, the engagement, the excuses about being too busy to contact me—it's all fake, fake! You deliberately schemed against us, all for this woman beside you! I should have known from the moment you came to see me at the 'Eternal Sword' set that you had feelings for her all along! That's why you set up this whole mess to scheme against us! Fu Yinze, you're so cunning! You're so heartless and selfish, you only care about yourself. Tang Ning, do you really think he likes you? No, he just wants to grab everything he's interested in, even his own nephew's woman. Wait until he loses interest in you, then you'll see… Hahaha… Fu Yinze is, at the very end, a heartless person!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Ning paused slightly.
Seeing this, Fu Yin raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you believe what she says?"
Tang Ning pursed her lips and shook her head slightly.
Tsk, what a coincidence, she's the same kind of person!
We'll see who comes out on top in the end.
Just as she was about to follow Fu Yinze out, when Fu Yuankai was standing by the roadside, he suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.
"No...don't go...Ningning..."
With just those few words, Tang Ning's tears fell.
The warmth of the tears streaming down her cheeks brought her back to her senses. She forcefully pulled her fingers out of Fu Yuankai's hand and continued walking out with Fu Yinze.
Meanwhile, Fu Yuankai, looking at his empty hands, didn't know how much time had passed before he seemed to wake up from a dream and ran outside.
But as soon as he ran downstairs, he saw Tang Ning's profile flash past him in the passenger seat of Fu Yinze's car.
He unconsciously took two steps, then two more, his pace quickening, quickening...
He ran until his heart was about to jump out of his throat, but he still lost the car at a corner, and lost Tang Ning too...
Why... was she getting revenge on him? Was she getting revenge for what happened in Japan, which is why she chose to be with Fu Yinzhe? The photos were all fake. He only took Xi-jie to her hotel room, and then... nothing happened. Why wouldn't Tang Ning listen to a single explanation? Were all four years of feelings fake? Was all her previous behavior of liking him fake too? Was it all fake...?
For four whole years, Fu Yuankai had grown accustomed to Tang Ning's initiative, devotion, waiting, and patience, and he was suddenly completely at a loss. She loved him so much, to the core, that she would never truly be angry with him, and would always wait for him to return to that little house. As long as he turned around, he would see her smiling brightly at him...
The man was breathing heavily, his eyes so red they looked like they were about to bleed.
Fu Yuankai, who had wandered off into a state of confusion, found himself lost somewhere. Before he knew it, he found himself downstairs at the small house he shared with Tang Ning.
He looked up at the room that was always lit up whenever he came back, clenched his fist, and was about to turn around and leave, but the moment he lifted his foot, he took a breath, turned around and ran upstairs.
He pushed open the door and turned on the light. The room, which he had previously thought was crammed full of things because of its small size, suddenly seemed empty.
But then, Fu Yuankai's gaze paused. On the white dining table not far away was the phone he had been unable to call—the one he had bought for Tang Ning. There seemed to be a white envelope under the phone.
This is……
I hope Fu Yuankai and Ye Xi will like the last gift she gave them.
I'll say it again.
She's the most vengeful person.
She's happy when everyone who offends her is unhappy.
Tang Ning, sitting in the passenger seat of Fu Yinze, thought to herself.
