Chapter 108: Do you...know each other?
Fu Xijing did not participate in this topic.
After several elders finished talking about Jiang Yuxu and Song Yi, they turned the topic to Fu Xijing.
Jiang Zheng casually asked, "Xijing and the Zhao family's daughter seem to be getting very close recently. Are they settling down?"
Fu Xijing smiled and replied, "Just ordinary friends. We've been doing some business recently and have become quite close."
"I thought you were planning a marriage." Jiang Zheng glanced at Fu Qingyun, "Your father really admires her."
Fu Qingyun waved his hand. "My admiration is useless. He has to put his mind to it."
Qiao Wan: "Is there a girl you like in Xijing?"
When Fu Qingyun heard this question, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Fu Xijing.
Fu Xijing smiled calmly, then shook his head with a smile.
Fu Qingyun stared at him, keeping it secret.

Wednesday is the day Jiang Yuxu comes to visit.
Jiang Yuxu decided to come for dinner. Since it was his first visit, Song Lansheng naturally had to prepare a sumptuous dinner to entertain him.
In the afternoon, Song Lansheng went out to buy a lot of food and walked to the entrance of the community with a cart.
Just as she was thinking about how to arrange the ingredients, a car suddenly stopped beside her.
Song Lansheng glanced sideways and the car window rolled down.
Seeing Fu Xijing in the driver's seat, Song Lansheng was surprised: "Xijing?"
"Have you gone out to buy groceries?" Fu Xijing opened the car door and got out. He naturally took the cart from Song Lansheng and put it in the back seat. "Let me take you there. It's still a few hundred meters away and the stuff is too heavy."
It was hard to refuse such a kind offer. Fu Xijing had already loaded the things into the car, and Song Lansheng could also thank him.
A few hundred meters will soon be there.
Fu Xijing parked the car at the door of the building and personally helped Song Lansheng carry the cart upstairs.
"Thank you so much for troubling you." Song Lansheng thanked Fu Xijing embarrassedly.
After these encounters, Song Lansheng's impression of Fu Xijing grew stronger and stronger. He was well-spoken, well-mannered, and respectful to everyone, which was rare.
Fu Xijing smiled and shook his head, "You're welcome, it's just a small favor."
He coughed dryly and said, "I'm a little thirsty. Can you come in and have a glass of water?"
"Of course it's convenient." Song Lansheng immediately invited him in. "Hot water or cold water?"
Fu Xijing: "Just give me some bottled water, thank you."
Song Lansheng went to the kitchen, got a bottle of water and handed it to Fu Xijing.
Fu Xijing opened the bottle and took a sip, then helped Song Lansheng move the cart to the kitchen.
Not only that, he also helped Song Lansheng organize the ingredients.
As Fu Xijing sorted things out with Song Lansheng, he pretended to ask casually, "You bought a lot of things today. Are you going to have guests?"
"Yes." Song Lansheng didn't say who was coming.
Fu Xijing felt a little regretful. "I originally wanted to stay for a meal, but it seems that today is not convenient."
Song Lansheng was just about to say "Let's do it another day" when he saw Fu Xijing frowning and his face suddenly turned pale.
It looks painful.
His hands also covered his abdomen.
Song Lansheng was a little worried: "Xijing, what's wrong with you?"
"My stomach isn't feeling well," Fu Xijing replied with difficulty. "Maybe it's because I haven't eaten anything today."
"That won't do." Song Lansheng's expression turned serious when he heard Fu Xijing said he hadn't eaten anything today. "You'll get stomach problems from starvation."
"If you don't mind, I'll cook you a bowl of noodles." Song Lansheng took a handful of vegetables and said, "How about plain noodles?"
It will still be a while before Song Yi brings Jiang Yuxu back, so cooking noodles won’t waste too much time.
"Thank you for your help." Fu Xijing nodded.
He didn't leave, but just sat at the dining table and watched Song Lansheng go to the kitchen to cook noodles.
Song Lansheng has many of the same little movements and habits when cooking as Song Yi, probably the tacit understanding developed from the mother and daughter living together for many years.

Half past four.
Song Yi was stunned when he saw Jiang Yuxu coming over with the car keys: "Are you done?"
Jiang Yuxu said, "Hmm," and said, "Let's go."
Song Yi: "Um, let's go back now. My mother may not have cooked yet."
Jiang Yuxu: "Then let's help out together, it's okay."
Song Yi nodded, relieved to know that Jiang Yuxu didn't mind.
The two walked out of the law firm, got into the car, and drove towards Xuefu Xili.
Xuefu Xili is not far from Heng'an. It was just past 5:10 when Jiang Yuxu parked his car downstairs.
When visiting someone for the first time, a gift is essential.
Jiang Yuxu took two gift boxes out of the trunk, one in each hand, and walked into the building with Song Yi.
When going upstairs, Song Yi was still a little nervous, with her hands tightly wrapped around the straps.
Although she didn't say anything, Jiang Yuxu could tell her mood from her actions.
"Don't be nervous, just leave it to me." Jiang Yuxu comforted Song Yi.
When Song Yi heard his words, she nodded first, then smiled helplessly, "It was you who came home with me, and you still have to take care of me."
Jiang Yuxu: "We're getting married, so there's no need to be so calculating."
bite.
While the two were talking, the elevator stopped.
Song Yi walked out first, entered the password to open the door, then went to the shoe cabinet next to him and took out a pair of disposable slippers for Jiang Yuxu.
Song Yi and Jiang Yuxu had just changed into slippers when Song Lansheng came out of the kitchen.
Seeing the two of them, Song Lansheng was obviously a little surprised: "Didn't you say you would be back after six o'clock?"
"I finished my work at the law firm and came here early." Jiang Yuxu took over Song Lansheng's words and bowed slightly to her. "Hello, Auntie. I'm Jiang Yuxu, Song Yi's boyfriend."
Jiang Yuxu placed the gift in his hand on the coffee table and said, "Let me help you."
Song Lansheng had a good first impression of Jiang Yuxu.
This was Jiang Yuxu's first visit, so she naturally couldn't ask him to help her. "No need. You and Xiaoyi sit and watch TV for a while. I'll take care of the kitchen."
Just as Song Lansheng finished speaking, a male voice suddenly interrupted: "Auntie Song."
The three people in the living room turned their heads and looked over at the same time.
When he saw Fu Xijing, Song Yi's right eyelid twitched twice, and his face and lips turned pale.
Heartbeat accelerates.
What is Fu Xijing doing here?
Jiang Yuxu's face didn't look very good either.
He calmly took two steps towards Song Yi and put his hand on her waist.
Fu Xijing stood opposite and saw the whole scene clearly.
Jiang Yuxu's actions caught Fu Xijing's eyes, and there was no doubt that he was declaring sovereignty.
When Song Lansheng saw Fu Xijing coming out, he was afraid that Jiang Yuxu would misunderstand him, so he explained to him: "This is Xiaoyi's friend. He happened to be--"
"Lawyer Jiang, what a coincidence." Fu Xijing looked at Jiang Yuxu with a smile, but his eyes were cold.
Song Lansheng was stunned for a moment, looked at Jiang Yuxu, and then at Fu Xijing: "You... know each other?"
Fu Xijing didn't answer immediately. Instead, he turned his gaze to Song Yi and raised his chin towards her, "You didn't tell your aunt?"
