Episode 177 It's normal to want to run
Song Yi's speculations seemed unreasonable, baffling, and unreasonable at first glance, but he was so blocked that he couldn't explain a word - all her speculations were based on what he had said to her.
He was the one who "guided" her to think so.
At this moment, he deeply experienced what it meant to be trapped in one's own web.
Even if he explained now, Song Yi would not believe it.
During those two years in Rome, plus the ten months they met again, his image in Song Yi's mind had become extremely bad.
Robbery, coercion, cold-heartedness, unreasonableness...all negative adjectives can be used to label him.
Fu Xijing took a deep breath, his head buzzing and his ears ringing.
Just when Fu Xijing was feeling troubled by this, there was a knock on the door.
He thought it was the waiter coming in to pour water, so he said, "No, no need to come in."
"It's me." Zhao Yanjin's voice came from outside the door, "I just saw her leave."
Fu Xijing didn't respond.
Zhao Yanjin pushed the door open and walked in. She sat down opposite Fu Xijing, looked at his gloomy expression, and asked with a smile, "Did you have a fight?"
Fu Xijing: "It's your credit."
Zhao Yanjin showed an aggrieved expression, "Boss Fu, I came here out of kindness to comfort you, why are you using me as a punching bag?"
Fu Xijing sneered, didn't tell her the reason, picked up the herbal tea and drank half a cup.
It looked like he was really angry.
This was the first time Zhao Yanjin saw Fu Xijing lose control of his emotions since they met.
Her eyes were so red as if she was about to cry.
This felt particularly fresh to her, after all, Fu Xijing usually had no expression on his face.
Fu Xijing just said that it was her credit. Could it be because of what she said to Song Yi?
Zhao Yanjin carefully recalled the scene just now. She explained to Song Yi that she had nothing to do with Fu Xijing, and then -
"Is it because I said you were with me to provoke her?" Zhao Yanjin suddenly realized something and frowned slightly: "Did she misunderstand it and think it was someone else?"
Fu Xijing agreed.
"Is it the Miss Xu you pursued?" Zhao Yanjin thought of her first. "Didn't you explain this to Teacher Song?"
"She thought I was looking for her today for the same reason." Fu Xijing rubbed his temples, his voice tired, "Stop talking, it's annoying."
Zhao Yanjin was surprised. After pondering for a while, she said tactfully, "It seems that the image you hold in her heart... is very special."
High emotional intelligence: special.
Low emotional intelligence: bad.
Zhao Yanjin and Fu Xijing are partners, but she asks Fu Xijing to do more things.
Therefore, she rarely asked about Fu Xijing's privacy. At the beginning, she didn't understand why Fu Xijing wanted to play this role with her.
He heard about his relationship with Song Yi from Jiang Budu during a friend's party.
Zhao Yanjin only knew that Fu Xijing was interested in Song Yi and that he had broken up her with her fiancé.
However, Jiang Budu also said that the fiancé had a problem with his character, and Fu Xijing's action actually indirectly helped Song Yi.
Song Yi shouldn't be the kind of person who doesn't know what's good for him, so he wouldn't hold a grudge against Fu Xijing for this matter.
Why is that?
"I'm suddenly very curious. What have you done to her that makes her interpret you this way?" Zhao Yanjin didn't ask directly, but instead asked tentatively with emotion.
Fu Xijing was a difficult person to understand. Zhao Yanjin knew that she was not one of his friends, so before Fu Xijing expressed his opinion, she had a strong sense of boundaries.
"By the way, I've actually been reluctant to say this directly before," Zhao Yanjin added, "Testing things this way is risky."
"I thought you'd considered it." Zhao Yanjin smiled. "Teacher Song doesn't seem like the type to take initiative. If she's provoked too much, she might completely retreat. I've only met her a few times, but I can tell. Don't you understand?"
Fu Xijing lowered his eyes and stared at the plate in front of him, as if he was thinking.
Zhao Yanjin knew he had heard her, so she continued, "You're quite difficult to get along with, don't you think?"
"With her personality, it must have been quite stressful for her to be with you. Now that she doesn't need to follow you, it's normal for her to want to run away."
"You think she hates me." Fu Xijing translated Zhao Yanjin's words.
"Not really." Zhao Yanjin slowly poured a cup of cold tea. "Wanting to avoid someone doesn't necessarily mean you dislike them."
She paused mysteriously, "Maybe it's because the love is not returned?"
Fu Xijing: "..."
"It seems women understand women better," Zhao Yanjin raised an eyebrow. "If you don't mind, Mr. Fu, you can tell me more about your situation. I can analyze it from a woman's perspective."
A woman's perspective.
Zhao Yanjin's words made Fu Xijing think of an important point.
When he was upset about Song Yi before, there were three men who worked with him to find a solution.
So far I haven't come up with any useful solution.
Zhao Yanjin is a smart woman. Fu Xijing chose her to work with because he was naturally well aware of her advantages.
He has a quick mind, is good at assessing situations, and has a keen sense of smell.
After thinking for a while, Fu Xijing pointed to the dishes on the table and said, "Let's talk while we eat."
"Okay," Zhao Yanjin readily agreed, picked up her chopsticks, and said with a smile, "It's my honor to listen to Mr. Fu's troubles."
For the next few minutes, Fu Xijing was silent again.
Zhao Yanjin observed him for a moment, guessing he wasn't sure where to begin, so she took the initiative to change the subject: "How did you and Teacher Song meet?"
Fu Xijing: "It was a chance encounter."
Zhao Yanjin: "Oh? What a coincidence? Where did you meet?"
Fu Xijing: "Rome."
Rome?
Zhao Yanjin knew that Fu Xijing had stayed in Rome for a few years, but that was seven or eight years ago.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yanjin's eyes were filled with shock.
Before she could ask, Fu Xijing said, "Seven years ago."
Zhao Yanjin was even more surprised when her suspicions were confirmed: "So... what was your relationship back then?"
Could it be what she guessed?
"She was defrauded of her money, and I solved the problem for her."
Fu Xijing's answer was quite tactful, but Zhao Yanjin immediately understood what he meant.
Then I understood why Song Yi interpreted Fu Xijing in that way.
Fu Xijing has a bad temper and a sharp tongue.
Song Yi must have suffered a lot when he followed him.
——
Song Yi came out of the restaurant and took a taxi to the law firm.
When she rushed over, the law firm was having lunch break.
As soon as Song Yi came to the front desk, he met Gui Qing who was coming back with coffee.
When Gui Qing saw Song Yi, she immediately smiled in a flirtatious manner: "Hi, nice to see you again."
Song Yi knew from her expression that the misunderstanding was still going on.
I could only bite the bullet and respond to her: "Hello."
Then he quickly found a reason to go find Jiang Yuxu.
Gui Qing looked at Song Yi's hurriedly leaving back and shook her head.
It seems that he was seriously threatened by Jiang Yuxu.
Her curiosity was suddenly piqued. What kind of leverage did Jiang Yuxu have over Song Yi? Even if she didn't like him, she still had to hang around him all day.
It's really pitiful.
