Ruan Chen didn't even glance in that direction, pulling Feng Nian aside to discuss the details of the dress design.
Leng Yueqiu struck up a conversation with Huan Shiqing, saying, "It should be the same style. Didn't the movie star mention at noon today that CEO Fu was going to the charity primary school this afternoon?"
Huan Shiqing didn't think much of it, nodded vaguely and said "Oh", then caught up with Feng Nian in a few steps and joined the discussion about the style of the skirt.
Ruan Chen quietly withdrew from the conversation, deliberately falling a few steps behind, walking slowly with her hands in her pockets.
She has a somewhat aloof personality, although she handles interpersonal relationships very well. If she wants to, she can also speak very eloquently in polite conversation.
Today, in order to get Feng Nian to accept her good intentions, Ruan Chen has shown an unusually smooth side.
Ruan Chen, in a good mood, lowered her head and stepped on the fallen leaves, skipping and hopping along. Leng Yueqiu walked up to her side.
"Sister Chen, is Mr. Fu here to see you?"
Ruan Chen's steps remained steady as she walked forward, stepping on the fallen leaves. "What?"
Leng Yueqiu didn't intentionally pry into Ruan Chen's privacy. She simply said, "That car is one of only three in the world. Only the Fu family has it in Jingzhou. Shi Qing didn't mistake it. Besides, Mr. Fu is watching you."
Leng Yueqiu handed Ruan Chen her small makeup mirror.
The mirror was spread out, facing directly behind them.
Ruan Chen saw that the left window of the black car was half lowered, and a white hand, as white as a woman's, was resting on the edge of the bed, revealing a tourbillon watch.
Above that is half of Fu Jianzhi's face.
His gaze was focused and serene as he looked in Ruan Chen's direction.
Ruan Chen reached out and closed Leng Yueqiu's mirror, made a "shh" gesture at her, and smiled.
Years later, Ruan Chen's feelings upon seeing Fu Jianzhi were very complicated.
The resentment she felt when she realized she had been used had long since dissipated. During those seven long and lonely years, Ruan Chen sat alone among the large computers, with stacks of manuscripts beside her. The only thing she could talk to was the little robot she made when she was extremely bored, which she created while waiting for the program to run.
When she was alone, Ruan Chen figured out a lot of things.
She has no right to resent Fu Jianzhi. In a sense, she is who she is today because of Fu Jianzhi, who came from across time and space.
He came into this world by betting everything he had.
If it weren't for the eight-year-old boy appearing on the streets of Meicheng, he would probably have become a wisp of smoke rising above the crematorium on the outskirts of Meicheng.
Their current problems are more serious than the resentment of being taken advantage of.
Ruan Chen discovered that after she went to the main timeline, the original Ruan Chen who should have been there never appeared, making it natural for Ruan Chen to become her in that timeline.
In later research, Ruan Chen deduced over three hundred times that there was only one conclusion: there is no second Ruan Chen in the main timeline. In the holographic projection of the Ark, only a clear weight belonging to the current Ruan Chen can be seen.
She had to admit a chilling truth: the person Fu Jianzhi had gone to great lengths to protect had been killed because of her intrusion.
But this wasn't the only problem between her and Fu Jianzhi.
Over the long years, Ruan Chen reviewed her past life and then had a terrible question.
If it weren't for Fu Jianzhi's intrusion, Cong Rao might not have been caught up in a series of causal effects and ultimately perished in the fire.
Ruan Chen was lost in thought when she heard Leng Yueqiu's voice in her ear. She didn't know if it was intentional or not, but "Our family has some cooperation with the Fu family. The eldest brother of the Fu family is extremely annoying. He openly and secretly trips up President Fu."
Ruan Chen seemed uninterested and gave a perfunctory "hmm".
Although Leng Yueqiu's family business couldn't compare to the Ruan or Fu families, she had been exposed to her family's business practices since childhood and was quite adept at reading people.
Judging from Fu Jianzhi's reaction at the event today, the fact that his car is guarding the side gate, and Ruan Chen's indifferent attitude, it's obvious what kind of relationship the two have.
Fu Jianzhi's chastity is well-known in the entertainment circle. When Fu Jianzhi first came of age and officially entered the circle, many women tried to get close to him under various pretexts.
What happened? A drink was spilled, someone fell down, someone drank too much, someone took the wrong room key...?
But Fu Jianzhi always looked at him with disgust, as if he had seen something dirty.
Ruan Chen and Fu Jianzhi's affair is no secret in the industry. Even though much of Ruan Chen's information has been erased from the internet, everyone knows that the second young lady of the Ruan family was exceptionally talented back then and that she ultimately orchestrated a scheme to send her biological father and his mistress to prison.
So everyone in the circle tacitly understood that Little Fu was keeping his chastity a secret for his white moonlight who was abroad.
Over time, the feelings of those women faded.
Today, Leng Yueqiu remembered this matter and consulted with her friends in the circle. They said that Fu Jianzhi was indeed close to the second young lady of the Ruan family back then, and the Ruan family's son-in-law who married into the family also mentioned this.
Leng Yueqiu would naturally not speak carelessly, but she wouldn't mind secretly trying to bring this ill-fated couple together.
However, Leng Yueqiu was clever enough not to tell Ruan Chen about Fu Jianzhi's composure over the years, which indirectly proved the depth of his feelings.
She said, "Sister Chen, you're a basic physicist, right? The Fu family is working on some kind of physical model recently. I'm not a professional and don't know much about it, but the Fu Group was looking for physics experts everywhere recently, offering high salaries. My dad said it seems like a Fu family secret was leaked, and I heard that the project is being led by the young CEO Fu."
Ruan Chen frowned slightly, showing a subtle reaction to Leng Yueqiu's topic.
Seeing that things were going well, Leng Yueqiu continued, "You know the Fu family has a lot of rules. It seems that young Master Fu had to kneel in the ancestral hall because of this."
Ruan Chen slowed her pace even further.
"I don't know who deliberately wanted to embarrass Mr. Fu by releasing the picture of him kneeling in the ancestral hall as punishment," Leng Yueqiu said. "Although the matter didn't cause a big fuss and didn't spread outside the circle, it's still quite frustrating to think about."
Yes, it's really frustrating and embarrassing.
Ruan Chen's hands were in his pockets, pressing his knuckles one by one, his eyes turning cold.
Leng Yueqiu had consumed a lot of "white moonlight" literature this year, and it was a rare opportunity for her novels to become reality.
She noticed that Ruan Chen seemed to be walking slowly, but her eyes were very focused, clearly thinking about something.
She knew that Ruan Chen had taken her words to heart; indeed, playing the victim for Fu Jianzhi had worked.
So Leng Yueqiu quickened her pace, letting Ruan Chen think it over carefully.
Ruan Chen stopped, took out her phone, and sent a message to Su Jin: "Is there a cocktail party at the company recently?"
Su Jin replied, "Yes, that's possible."
