Chapter 107 Doubt
Fu Xijing played with his phone and said calmly, "I'm disappointed in love."
Ji Qingyuan sneered mercilessly, "You've had quite a few love affairs. Which one ended in failure?"
Fu Xijing: "In your heart, I am so fickle."
Ji Qingyuan: "So you think you are infatuated?"
Fu Xijing: "Even if you don't believe me, you have to believe in your and Dad's genes. I take after you two. How can I afford to spend money?"
Ji Qingyuan: "Don't try to be so slick. Just try to coax an ignorant girl. Do you think I'll believe you?"
Fu Xijing was about to say something when Ji Qingyuan's phone rang.
Ji Qingyuan saw Qiao Wan’s call, quickly picked up the phone and called her.
Hearing the name, Fu Xijing's eyes darkened and his attention instantly focused on the phone call.
He couldn't hear what Qiao Wan said on the other end of the line, but he could clearly hear Ji Qingyuan's surprised voice: "Really? So soon?"
"Okay, okay, when fate comes, it can't be stopped!"
"I'm going to Qingshan Temple today too! Let's go!"
"Then let's meet and talk later, and I'll give you some advice."
Listening to Ji Qingyuan's words, Fu Xijing had roughly guessed what Qiao Wan had talked about with her.
He unconsciously tightened his fingers, the phone leaving marks on his palms, and his knuckles were about to penetrate the flesh.
In the back row, Fu Qingyun asked Ji Qingyuan, "Why did Madam Jiang call you?"
It was rare for Ji Qingyuan to smile so brightly when talking to Fu Qingyun: "I have completely succeeded as a matchmaker."
She paused for a moment, "Yuxu and Xiaoyi are getting married, and Qiao Wan is going to Qingshan Temple to have the master calculate the date today."
Fu Qingyun was surprised: "So fast? Didn't they just meet?"
Ji Qingyuan: "I felt the need to act decisively, which was great."
Fu Xijing lowered his eyes and said coldly, "You're getting married so quickly, are you sure you don't have other intentions?"
"What are you talking about? Xiaoyi is not that kind of person." Ji Qingyuan retorted.
Fu Xijing: "I don't think I mentioned her either."
"Jiang Yuxu has never had a woman before, and now he wants to get married after just meeting someone. Don't you think it's suspicious?" he said. "What if he has some hidden hobbies and is looking for someone to shield him?"
Ji Qingyuan heard the hidden meaning in Fu Xijing's words and was speechless: "...Why do you have so many opinions about Yu Xu?"
Fu Xijing curled his lips and did not deny it: "Maybe it's because when you meet a good girl, you only want to introduce her to him."
Ji Qingyuan: "If I don't introduce such a good girl to him, should I introduce her to you?"
Speaking of this, Ji Qingyuan couldn't help but settle accounts with Fu Xijing: "Have you dealt with Rushuang's matter? He and the daughter of the Zhao family are flaunting themselves in public, and the engagement rumors are flying everywhere. Which of them is easy to deal with? Xiaoyi is such a good girl, why would I push her into this pit of fire like you?"
Fu Xijing: "..."
Ji Qingyuan: "Nothing to say?"
Seeing that Fu Xijing was speechless, Ji Qingyuan continued: "I won't interfere in your emotional affairs. You can decide who to date and marry, but don't think of traveling around the world as your home."
Fu Xijing: "What do you think of me?"
Ji Qingyuan: "If you don't want me to miss you so much, you should deal with your romantic debts as soon as possible and stop flirting with other women all day long."
While the mother and son were talking, Fu Qingyun sat in the back row and didn't say a word.
Uncharacteristically, his gaze shifted away from Ji Qingyuan and fell on Fu Xijing in the front row, narrowing his eyes slightly.
Fu Xijing is very abnormal today.
He has never been curious about other people's affairs. In the past, when people talked about weddings or funerals in the circle, he never asked too many questions.
This time, he kept pestering Ji Qingyuan about Jiang Yuxu's marriage, even going so far as to say that if Ji Qingyuan met a good girl, he wouldn't introduce her to him...
Fu Qingyun suddenly remembered.
A few weeks ago, Song Yi quit her tutoring job, and Fu Xuqiao has not yet found a suitable language teacher.
Is there such a coincidence in the world?
Fu Qingyun's vision gradually became sharper.
——
When Fu Xijing and his family arrived at Qingshan Temple, they ran into Qiao Wan at the parking lot.
Qiao Wan came with the driver.
After they met, Fu Xijing greeted Qiao Wan and then asked, "Uncle Jiang didn't come with you?"
Qiao Wan: "He went to the third brother's place, he will come later."
Fu Xijing nodded.
Jiang Zheng is the eldest son of the Jiang family. He has two younger brothers and a younger sister. The second oldest brother and the fourth oldest sister are both in politics and often appear in circles. Fu Xijing is also familiar with them.
The only person I'm not familiar with is Uncle Jiang. We've met only a few times.
The last time seemed to date back to his high school years.
I heard that my third uncle Jiang Yuxu was a colonel in the Army Special Forces. He was injured during a foreign military exercise and was in a coma for several years. He later survived, but has been in a wheelchair ever since.
Although he was posthumously awarded the first-class merit, his career ended there.
I heard that when he was young, he put all his energy into the army and didn't get married or have children. After the accident, he didn't find a partner and has been alone for so many years.
It had been so long since he last saw him that Fu Xijing couldn't quite remember what he looked like. He only remembered that he was sitting in a wheelchair with an upright posture, a serious expression, sharp eyes, and a state of alertness.
It must be an occupational disease.
Fu Xijing's first impression of him was that he was difficult to get along with, so when he saw him he just said a polite greeting and left.
Very little is known.
However, Jiang Yuxu seemed to have a good relationship with his third uncle. He recently asked someone to keep an eye on Jiang Yuxu, and Jiang Yuxu went to his third uncle's place several times.
…
Fu Xijing followed his elders up the mountain, entered the temple and knelt on the cushion to pray.
Fu Xijing didn't believe in these things, but the Fu family had always had this tradition, so he followed the rules.
It was almost noon when the prayers and chanting ended.
Coincidentally, Jiang Zheng also arrived.
Jiang Zheng and Qiao Wan asked the host to choose a date. Considering that Ji Qingyuan was the "matchmaker" and the two families were close, they invited their whole family to go together.
Fu Xijing sat down naturally and listened to the whole process of the master selecting an auspicious day for Song Yi and Jiang Yuxu.
After hearing Qiao Wan say "within the year," the master calculated and said, "The best day of the year is December 18th, the 26th of the lunar calendar, which is about half a month from now. Isn't that too hasty?"
"Don't rush it. Get the marriage certificate first and then hold the wedding next year." Qiao Wan gladly accepted this date.
Fu Xijing sat aside and listened to the conversation without saying a word.
Afterwards, the two families went out to eat together.
After the dishes were served, Qiao Wan and Jiang Zheng and his wife offered tea to Ji Qingyuan to thank her for introducing Song Yi to Jiang Yuxu.
Ji Qingyuan smiled and clinked glasses with the couple, "You're welcome. I watched Yuxu grow up, so it's only natural."
"By the way, have you discussed the marriage with your in-laws?" Ji Qingyuan suddenly thought of this.
"See you soon." Qiao Wan said, "Zhou Zhongyu will come to visit Xiaoyi's mother first."
Midweek?
Fu Xijing calmly noted the date and played with the teacup in his hand thoughtfully.
