Episode 549: Sense of Boundary
Qiao Yunxue and Lu Ye separated in the restaurant's parking lot and went back to their respective homes.
It was 3:30 in the afternoon when Qiao Yunxue drove back to the bridal chamber. She left the gift she bought for Fu Shanzhan in the trunk without touching it, just to give him a surprise on his birthday.
After Qiao Yunxue got home, she drank a glass of water and opened WeChat to see that Fu Shanzhan had not replied to her message yet.
This will last long enough.
He was working, so Qiao Yunxue didn't disturb him. She turned her phone to silent mode and put it aside, then took out her English test paper to practice. Although she was very tired after going out today, she couldn't completely stop reviewing. She planned to do a set of English questions and a set of political questions before taking a rest.
——
Today is the shareholders' meeting of Kelan in the second half of the year. The meeting covered a lot of content and lasted more than five hours.
Fu Qingyun, who rarely comes to the company, was also present.
After the meeting, Fu Qingyun and Fu Congjian walked out of the meeting room while chatting about work. After a few steps, they saw Special Assistant Chen walking towards them with a serious expression.
Fu Congjian: "What happened?"
Special Assistant Chen glanced at Fu Qingyun and handed over the file bag in his hand. "Mr. Fu, Mr. Fu, a paparazzi downstairs just sent this... I was afraid it was something dangerous, so I opened it and checked it without permission..."
Special Assistant Chen hesitated and looked very flustered.
"What is it that makes you look like that?" Fu Qingyun raised his hand and took the file bag, opened it casually, and took out the things inside.
It's a stack of photos.
Fu Qingyun took a closer look, his expression instantly became much more serious, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Fu Congjian also looked down, and his eyelids twitched when he saw Qiao Yunxue in the photo holding the hand of a strange man.
Fu Congjian immediately went to see Fu Qingyun. Seeing that he looked unhappy, Fu Congjian said, "Dad, it's easy to make up stories with photos. This must have been done intentionally. I believe Xiao Qiao is not that kind of person."
Fu Qingyun didn't respond to this. He walked towards the office with the photo and said to Special Assistant Chen, "Go and call Shan Zhan over."
Special Assistant Chen responded immediately and went to find Fu Shanzhan.
After the meeting, Fu Shanzhan went to the security passage to call Qiao Yunxue.
No one answered the first call. When he was about to call a second time, the door of the emergency passage was pushed open. Fu Shanzhan paused in dialing the phone and turned to look at the door.
Special Assistant Chen walked in with a serious face and said to him, "Mr. Fu and Mr. Fu want you to come over."
"Me?" Fu Shanzhan saw that Special Assistant Chen had a serious expression on his face. "What happened?"
Special Assistant Chen couldn't explain it too clearly, so he could only say vaguely, "A paparazzi sent some photos related to the Third Young Master's wife."
"My wife?" When Fu Shanzhan heard that it was related to Qiao Yunxue, he immediately walked past Special Assistant Chen.
Five minutes later, Fu Shanzhan arrived at Fu Qingyun's office.
As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Fu Qingyun and Fu Congjian sitting on the sofa. Their expressions were even more solemn than when they were in the meeting just now.
Fu Shanzhan closed the door and walked up to the two of them: "Dad, big brother, what's wrong?"
"Look for yourself." Fu Qingyun pointed to the photo on the coffee table.
Fu Shanzhan bent down and took the photo in his hand. After looking at the first one, his eyes became gloomy.
He continued to flip through the pages, and his expression grew uglier with each page he turned.
"When was this photo taken?" Fu Shanzhan asked.
Fu Congjian: "I don't know, but the paparazzi were sent to the company today."
"But don't worry, I have asked someone to deal with it, and these photos will not be exposed." Fu Congjian first gave Fu Shanzhan a reassurance.
Fu Shanzhan did not respond, and his hand holding the photo gradually tightened.
Recently, Qiao Yunxue has very little time to talk to him. When he feels disappointed, he can only comfort himself that she is not deliberately ignoring him, and her studies are more important at this stage.
His birthday was coming up, but she hadn't thought about it. A few days ago, he wanted to take her out for dinner to relax, but she disagreed.
But she went to the gallery with Lu Ye and had dinner together.
"Do you know the person in the photo?" This time, it was Fu Qingyun who spoke.
Fu Shanzhan took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and said to Fu Qingyun, "This photo was taken by a paparazzi and taken out of context. This man is Xuexue's friend. They have been neighbors since childhood and there is no ambiguity between them."
"Then why do you look like you want to kill someone?" No one knows a son better than his father. Even though Fu Shanzhan tried not to lose his temper, Fu Qingyun knew that he was very unhappy and very concerned.
Fu Qingyun glanced at the photo and said directly: "He likes Xiaoxue too."
Fu Shanzhan: "What's the use of him liking her? Xuexue is my wife."
Fu Qingyun: "You have the guts to yell at me, why don't you think about how to deal with it."
He reminded Fu Shanzhan: "You are a member of the Fu family. If this kind of photo gets out, what will people think of it? Others won't care if they have been neighbors since childhood, let alone if they have an affair."
Fu Shanzhan: "Then what do you think I can do?"
He tugged at his collar in annoyance. He had seen how terrible the rumors in this circle were. There were countless cases of three people making a tiger. If this kind of news got out, it would indeed damage the reputation of the Fu family. This was also the price he had to pay for enjoying the halo brought by the Fu family.
Fu Qingyun: "I believe Xiaoxue is devoted to you, and I know she is not that kind of person, but there are differences between men and women. Even if you are good friends, you should have some sense of boundaries. The parties involved may not have any intention, but the outside world likes to speculate. Over time, it will also affect your relationship. Go back and have a good talk with her."
Fu Shanzhan rubbed his temples, feeling a slight headache. "She may not listen to me."
Fu Congjian: "Don't lose your temper. Speak nicely. Xiao Qiao will understand."
He added at the right moment, "Dad doesn't mean to blame her. You two are too young and have no experience in managing a marriage. These things really need to be resolved as soon as possible. If you keep dragging it out, it will definitely cause big problems."
Fu Shanzhan said "hmm" and listened.
He thought for a moment, put the photo in his hand on the coffee table, and asked, "Can you find out who sent this photo?"
Fu Congjian: "I've checked. It's an entertainment studio. They were previously filming celebrities. Recently, they may have to rely on other methods to gain traffic. Don't worry, I've already warned them, but these situations will be difficult to avoid in the future. You all need to be mentally prepared and pay more attention when you go out."
Fu Shanzhan laughed, being a member of the Fu family was also tiring.
"I'm going out to make a phone call." Fu Shanzhan got up from the sofa and walked out of the office.
This time, he went directly to the rooftop.
Fu Shanzhan found a corner to stand in and called Qiao Yunxue again.
This time, the call was answered quickly.
Qiao Yunxue: "Your meeting lasted so long?"
The environment over there was very quiet, but Fu Shanzhan couldn't help but start to wonder where she was and who she was with.
Fu Shanzhan: "Yeah."
He resisted the urge to question, and tried to keep his voice calm. "What did you want to talk to me about?"
