Chapter 548: Blue Confidant
Although Lin Muyue was not sure that she still understood Fu Shanzhan after so many years of separation, she understood men.
Of course she knew that Qiao Yunxue and the man next to her were most likely just close friends of the opposite sex, but Fu Shanzhan would definitely mind it very much. No man would want his wife to have a male confidant.
No wealthy family would allow their daughter-in-law to meet with another man alone in such a public manner, not to mention that the Fu family is no longer an ordinary wealthy family.
How would Fu Qingyun react if he knew about this?
Lin Muyue took out his phone from his bag slowly and said, "Go to 51 Gallery and send two people with me. You know what to do."
——
Qiao Yunxue and Lu Ye arrived at the gallery and met the staff member that Lu Ye knew. The staff member took them inside and introduced several oil paintings that were being auctioned in the gallery.
After choosing for almost half an hour, Qiao Yunxue selected a work called "Autumn on the Wheat Field".
The gallery staff helped transport the paintings to the car. Qiao Yunxue's trunk was filled with birthday gifts for Fu Shanzhan, so the paintings had to be left with Lu Ye for the time being.
The hotel Lu Ye booked was near the university town, more than 20 kilometers away from here, so the two of them headed directly towards the restaurant.
Qiao Yunxue was concentrating on driving and didn't notice anything unusual.
…
Before twelve o'clock, Qiao Yunxue met Professor Wang in the restaurant.
Professor Wang is a very easy-going person and always has a smile on his face. Before coming, he knew that Qiao Yunxue wanted to apply for his graduate program, so he talked to her about a lot of professional knowledge during the meal. Qiao Yunxue has unique insights on many issues and her professional ability is unquestionable.
Professor Wang couldn't help but wonder, "With your knowledge, you shouldn't need World War II, right?"
When Lu Ye introduced Qiao Yunxue to him earlier, he said that she was taking the exam for the second time. Professor Wang thought that her grades and qualifications were average, and that she was a hard-working person. But when he saw her today, he realized that this girl was completely different from what he had imagined.
He is very talented and smart. As a mentor, he is very willing to accept such a student.
"I used to study at Renmin University. I was admitted to this university last year, but I didn't go due to some personal reasons," Qiao Yunxue said frankly.
Professor Wang nodded and said, "I was saying that with your qualifications, you shouldn't be able to do this."
"Did you study history at Renmin University before?" Professor Wang did not ask her about her personal reasons, but asked about her undergraduate studies.
Qiao Yunxue: "Yes, modern world history."
Professor Wang: "Your grades in the major should be very good, right?"
Qiao Yunxue: "Top ten in the grade."
Professor Wang smiled and said, "You're a good candidate. Have you ever thought about specializing in research in the future?"
Qiao Yunxue shook her head and said honestly, "Probably not."
Professor Wang: “So what is your career plan?”
Qiao Yunxue: "Maybe I'll find a job in a museum, working in cultural and creative industries."
This is the result of her recent thinking.
Her grades were good, but she knew very well that she was not someone who could concentrate on academic work. Such a life was too boring and she needed stimulation.
Professor Wang smiled with satisfaction when he heard Qiao Yunxue's plan. "You have some ideas. Not bad."
…
This meeting with Professor Wang was a complete success. Professor Wang had classes in the afternoon and had to go back to school. Before leaving, he specifically told Qiao Yunxue, "Study hard. I'll be waiting for you to join my group at T University."
After seeing Professor Wang off, Qiao Yunxue stroked her chest and let out a long sigh.
She sighed to herself, "Thank goodness, it went much more smoothly than I thought."
Lu Ye glanced at her sideways, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, "When did you think of doing cultural and creative work?"
Qiao Yunxue: "Just recently."
She said, "I think I should find a career, at least to be able to support myself."
Lu Ye: "Did someone say something?"
Qiao Yunxue pouted and shook her head: "What others say is fine, but if I can support myself, I won't feel so bad when they say that."
Unlike now, she really relied on Fu Shanzhan and the Fu family for support.
Fu Shanzhan at least still has a job. Although his position in Kelan is not an important one, he still gets a salary.
Fu Shanzhan had never asked her to find a job, and he even said that he didn't want her to go out and suffer. Qiao Yunxue believed him, but others...
Ji Qingyuan's birthday party was the first time Qiao Yunxue officially participated in a social event in that circle after her marriage, and it also made her realize many things.
Even if Fu Shanzhan didn't ask for it, she should have her own career. It doesn't matter how much money she makes. At least people won't think that she is a dodder who can only survive by clinging to the Fu family - she is not really a useless person with no ability. If she is a useless person, let people say so.
After listening to Qiao Yunxue's words, Lu Ye stared at her for a long time with a complicated look in his eyes.
Qiao Yunxue: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Lu Ye smiled and shook his head, "I just feel that you have suddenly matured a lot."
I don’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.
"Isn't this good? If I were immature, I would be sold out in this kind of environment and still have to pay people for it." Qiao Yunxue casually told Lu Ye about how Lin Muyue instigated her to quarrel with Fu Shanzhan on Ji Qingyuan's birthday.
The more Lu Ye listened, the tighter his brows furrowed.
Although Qiao Yunxue said that she and Fu Shanzhan had finally made things clear and Fu Shanzhan had apologized to her, he still had a bad feeling.
That Lin Muyue seems to be at a very high level. Qiao Yunxue and Fu Shanzhan should not be her match.
Moreover, she was highly appreciated by Fu Qingyun.
This person might become a time bomb between them. Even if Fu Shanzhan doesn't like her, she still has a way to detonate their relationship, just like the last birthday party.
"By the way, Xiaoxue," Lu Ye pondered for a long time and asked her, "Does Fu Shanzhan know that you met me today?"
Qiao Yunxue shook her head. "Why do you ask that?"
Lu Ye: "Tell him now."
Qiao Yunxue: "Ah?" She was confused by Lu Ye's unconventional thinking and didn't understand what he meant.
Lu Ye: "Fu Shanzhan has always been bothered by you meeting me. I just ran into that Miss Lin—"
"...You're right." Qiao Yunxue suddenly realized, "If I don't take the initiative to speak up, she'll have another chance to sow discord."
After saying that, she took out her cell phone.
But as soon as she unlocked the screen, Qiao Yunxue felt a little overwhelmed again - Fu Shanzhan was a jealous person, and if she took the initiative to tell him, he would definitely still be angry.
There is no other way, choose the lesser of two evils.
After all, it is better for her to confess proactively than for Lin Muyue to add fuel to the fire.
So, Qiao Yunxue opened WeChat and sent a message to Fu Shanzhan: [Are you taking a lunch break? ]
After waiting for a few minutes, Fu Shanzhan replied: [I'm in a meeting. Is there something urgent?]
Qiao Yunxue: [Then you can start the meeting first. Come back to me after the meeting.]
