Chapter 616: A cut on the right cheek
"Okay, I'll be right there." Fu Chengze raised his hand and rubbed his face, returning to his usual gentleness, and went out with a smile.
When he reached the door, he was so stunned by Lan Yi, who was wearing a royal blue satin dress, that he stood there motionless.
"What's wrong?"
The man's gaze was very noticeable, like a beam of strong light shining on her, and Lan Yi felt a little at a loss.
Fu Chengze shook his head. "It's okay! Meibao has really good taste. This skirt is very beautiful!"
You are prettier than the dress.
Fu Chengze said this silently in his heart.
Lan Yi smiled and agreed with him.
“Weiwei’s taste is always good.”
"Well, let's go." Fu Chengze bent his left arm.
Lan Yi knew the etiquette, so she put her arm around the man and walked into the elevator together.
…………
When they arrived at Rongbaoxuan, Fu Chengze stayed close to Lan Yi, and the two sat beside the table and chatted.
However, someone soon came to break the world of the two.
"Xiaoyi, is it really you? Are you back home?"
When Lan Yi heard this voice, her body froze instantly and her face became very ugly.
Fu Chengze felt a slight pain in his heart and looked at the middle-aged man who had been staring at Lan Yi with a smile.
"Sir, are you acquainted with Lan Yi?"
There was no malice in the man's eyes, which was why Fu Chengze asked in such a nice tone.
The middle-aged man glanced at Fu Chengze. The other party didn't know him, but he knew who this young talent was.
President of Nagasawa Group.
"Mr. Fu, I'm Lan Yi's father. My name is Lan Jian. The one next to me is also my daughter. Her name is Lan Lu."
"Sister, we didn't expect you to come back. We all miss you very much." Lan Lu held her father's arm and said in a choked voice.
Lan Yi curled the corners of his lips in a mocking manner, and stared at Lan Lu with cold eyes.
"Why are you being so hypocritical? When you saw me in the cafe the day before yesterday, didn't you warn me not to go back to Jiang City to fight with you for the family property?"
Lan Lu didn't expect Lan Yi to say such words to her face. Her face panicked for a moment, and then she felt aggrieved.
"Sister, what are you talking about? I came to Jinghai on a business trip and have never been to a coffee shop. Did you recognize the wrong person?"
"Yes, Xiaoyi, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years. How come you have become so against your sister? I know you are blaming your mother, but your sister is innocent." Lan Jian said.
Fu Chengze stood up, and his tall and slender figure inserted himself between Lan Yi and Lan Jian, separating the two of them, and took a long step towards Lan Jian.
Lan Jian could only step back and look at Fu Chengze in confusion.
"Mr. Fu, what are you doing?"
Fu Chengze walked two or three meters in the direction of Lan Jian before stopping.
"Since Lan Yi doesn't want to have anything to do with you, please don't disturb her."
"No matter what your relationship with Lan Yi is, since you haven't been in touch for over a decade, don't reminisce about the past here. Lan Yi doesn't like this kind of socializing."
Hearing the man's words of defense, Lan Yi's heart was filled with uncontrollable ripples. She raised her eyes and looked deeply at Ruyu's figure.
Fu Chengze's attitude was firm, and Lan Jian's face looked a little ugly. In this situation, it was indeed not appropriate to pester his eldest daughter. He glanced at Lan Yi with reluctance for a second, and walked away with Lan Lu.
"Dad, I really haven't seen my sister." Lan Lu explained pitifully, "If I lie, I'll be hit by a car when I go out--"
"I believe you. Your sister may be too resentful of us." Lan Jian said with a serious expression.
"Mom actually knows she was wrong." Lan Lu said hypocritically.
Well, I know I was wrong, but I haven’t apologized in more than ten years.
"Mr. Fu, you don't have to pay attention to them." Lan Yi said.
Gratitude to Fu Chengze was written in her beautiful eyes.
Fu Chengze raised the corner of his lips and said, "It's okay, it's a small matter. You don't like them, so I won't let them get close to you again."
A strange feeling once again rolled through Lan Yi's heart.
While Fu Chengze was concentrating on watching the big screen, she secretly turned her head and looked at his profile for three seconds.
Lan Yi came to the auction to see if there was a chance to find a bargain, and to confirm who would end up with these ancient medical books. Unexpectedly, all the ancient medical books at the auction were bought by Fu Chengze.
She looked over in surprise, and Fu Chengze smiled gently and said:
"The Fu family has always invested in a medical team, and we bought it to do research for them."
In addition to ancient medical books, Fu Chengze secretly bought a rare copy of an ancient gourmet book.
"I see you're hesitant to speak. Do you want to read those ancient books?"
Lan Yi shook her head, "No."
"Really? You're a doctor, too. If you want to see it, I can print out a version for you. Coincidentally, you're researching medicine for your sister, so I'm willing to show you the printed version."
The man adopted a businesslike tone and looked on, without any personal feelings involved.
Lan Yi was very moved. "Thank you."
"You're welcome. If you can heal Meibao's face and want the original one, I'm willing to give it to you."
"No, just give me a copy."
"So, you are confident that you can cure Meibao's face?"
Lan Yi nodded. She had an idea about this.
Fu Chengze curled his lips slightly, "Then I'm looking forward to it."
Outside the door of Rongbaoxuan.
Lan Jian once again stood in front of Lan Yi, his eyes filled with regret.
"Xiaoyi, come home with Dad. Dad will make up for all the suffering you have endured over the years."
Lan Yi remained unmoved: "Mr. Lan, I have nothing to do with you anymore. You don't need to make up for anything."
Lan Jian: "We are always father and daughter... It must have been hard for you living alone these years. Come home. Dad is old, and the company will be left to you and your brother and sister to inherit."
"No need, Mr. Lan, I'm not your daughter."
Lan Yi said this expressionlessly. This sentence successfully made Lan Jian's face pale.
Seeing this, Fu Chengze pulled Lan Yi away, put her in the passenger seat, closed the door, and then felt relieved.
…………
The sports car drove silently on the road.
After Lan Yi calmed down her inner turmoil, she realized that from beginning to end, Fu Chengze had never asked any questions about Lan Jian.
She thought about it and took the initiative to speak: "Mr. Fu, I——"
"Lan Yi, if you don't want to say anything, you don't have to. I won't ask you."
“Everyone has a past.”
The man's voice fell into the air gently.
Lan Yi: “…”
…………
Two days later, at noon, when Fu Chengze delivered lunch, he brought over the photocopies of the three ancient medical books he had bought at the auction. The paper was still hot.
This time, he did not stay any longer, but put down his books and food box and left.
Lan Yi held the ancient book in her arms and was stunned for a while.
My heart was filled with a strange emotion.
After dinner, she hurried out with one of the ancient books.
Spend the afternoon at the Perception Cafe.
The alarm rang at six in the evening, and Lan Yi got up and left the cafe, going to the nearby vegetable market to buy vegetables.
Xu Lingwei and Fu Chengzhou are going out on a date tonight, and she plans to cook for herself.
The afterglow fell on the ground, stretching people's shadows into long ones. Lan Yi was walking quietly with her things in her hand. When she passed a long and narrow alley, a figure suddenly rushed out from it. The figure was over 1.9 meters tall. He covered her mouth with his hand and pulled her into the alley.
"ah--"
Lan Yi's right cheek was cut by the other party with a small knife.
