20. Portraits
69.
For Lin Can's sake, Fu Xingzhi reluctantly agreed to let Jiang Wenxi stay here for a few days.
He regretted it right after he agreed. Jiang Wenxi sat in the seat where he was eating, picked up some food for Lin Can with a look of love in her eyes, and then stared at Lin Can while he was eating with a perverted look on her face.
Fu Xingzhi could just ignore it, but just watching wasn't enough! She even shouted! She even screamed loudly: "Ahhhhh Linlin is so cute when she eats!"
The aunt who was working nearby was startled.
Fu Xingzhi couldn't help but slap her on the head, "Where are your manners? Don't talk while eating, you know?"
This time she stopped screaming, took out her cell phone and started taking photos and recording videos with a lewd smile on her face.
Fu Xingzhi really couldn't stand this woman for even a second.
He asked, "Why did you come back this time?"
Is it really to fulfill that ten-year agreement?
Jiang Wenxi put down his phone and his expression returned to normal in an instant.
"My parents forced me to go on a blind date, but the guy really fell in love with me and kept pestering me. I had no choice but to hide in China."
Fu Xingzhi thought to himself, you know how uncomfortable it is to be pestered by someone.
Jiang Wenxi waved her hand. "Let's not talk about this anymore. I haven't seen you for so many years. How are you two doing?"
70.
She probably heard some of what happened to the Lin family after they went abroad. She didn't expect that the seemingly normal father Lin would do that to Fu Xingzhi. But in fact, this was not the first time such a thing happened in their circle.
She couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect you, a son of a bitch, to become a generation older for no reason."
Fu Xingzhi's expression at that time was so wonderful.
It was Lin Can who came out to smooth things over: "Sister Xi, let me show you around."
Jiang Wenxi's eyes instantly began to sparkle, and she agreed readily: "Okay, okay, okay, sister wants to see your room, hehehe..."
Fu Xingzhi almost fought with her again.
71.
The first place he showed her was the study. Fu Xingzhi's collection of books was astonishing. It was no exaggeration to say that it could even be used to run a small library. Even Jiang Wenxi was amazed. "Oh my God, can you two really handle all these books?"
Fu Xingzhi said coldly, "Don't bother with that."
They had just done something good in the study in the afternoon, and Lin Can felt embarrassed to let her visit for too long, so they moved to the next place.
Finally, it was Lin Can's bedroom. Originally, such a private place was not convenient for outsiders to visit, but Jiang Wenxi insisted on seeing it, so...
Lin Can's room wasn't big. He had suggested it himself, saying it was more comfortable to live in a small room. But Jiang Wenxi provoked him, "Lin...ah no, Fu Xingzhi is already your stepmother, and she's still so stingy with you? If you lived with me, I would definitely get you a big bed of 100 square meters."
Lin Can hurriedly explained: "No, I asked for it myself."
Jiang Wenxi didn't know what was going on in her mind, but tears welled up in her eyes and she sobbed, "If it weren't for that bastard, I would have taken you abroad with me, given you the biggest room and bought you the sweetest candy!"
Fu Xingzhi's forehead throbbed, and he endured it and said, "Can you be a little more normal?"
72.
After seeing Lin Can's room, Jiang Wenxi said that she was so happy that she almost fainted. She didn't know what was wrong with her but she insisted on seeing Fu Xingzhi's bedroom.
This was not acceptable, so Lin Can quickly stopped her: "Don't go!"
Jiang Wenxi was puzzled, "Why?"
Lin Can stretched his neck and thought for a long time, but in the end not only did he fail to explain it clearly, but his face also turned red.
He couldn't say it was because there were lubricant and condoms on Fu Xingzhi's bedside table!
Just when he was feeling extremely embarrassed, Fu Xingzhi whispered to him, "Don't be afraid, the things have been put away."
Lin Can finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Wenxi had just accepted that Fu Xingzhi was Lin Can's stepmother, and if she knew that they were already hooking up... In short, she had to keep it a secret for now.
As soon as she entered Fu Xingzhi's room, she couldn't help but sigh: "You old man really know how to enjoy life. When I settle down in China, I will buy a villa next to yours and decorate the room like you did."
Fu Xingzhi reminded her at the right time: "Ms. Jiang Wenxi, you seem older than me."
Lin Can chuckled.
Jiang Wenxi hated it most when people mentioned her age. She instantly felt revengeful and leaned against the bookshelf, saying, "Are you afraid that I'll knock your pride down?"
Apart from anything else, Fu Xingzhi knew that this woman had a very high fighting power, and if she really did that, his bookshelf might not survive.
Jiang Wenxi couldn't help feeling proud when she saw Fu Xingzhi's nervous look. Just as she was about to make some sarcastic remarks, her attention was suddenly attracted by the bookshelf next to her.
"Why do the book numbers here start with F?"
Fu Xingzhi has a habit of tidying up. All his books are neatly arranged in alphabetical and numerical order. For example, all the books on the bookshelf she is leaning against have numbers starting with D, so normally the row next to it should have numbers starting with E.
Although Jiang Wenxi usually seems crazy, his mind works very quickly at critical moments. "So where is the bookshelf starting with E?"
Ever since she mentioned the book number, Fu Xingzhi's expression has been unnatural.
Fu Xingzhi said calmly, "My bedroom was remodeled once, and the E bookshelf was moved away."
"Impossible! With your obsessive-compulsive personality, if you were to move anything, you'd move the last H bookshelf."
After hearing what Jiang Wenxi said, Lin Can suddenly became curious. It's not that he hadn't noticed this before, but he had never asked about it out of respect for privacy.
He looked at Fu Xingzhi, but found that he could no longer maintain basic composure on his face.
He looked a bit sullen as if his secret had been discovered.
Jiang Wenxi didn't notice anything was wrong with him, and continued, "You must have some secret room, right? Is that bookshelf hidden in there?"
She groped around the bookshelf and actually found a crack, which she pushed open.
Bookshelf F turned out to be a movable panel. After it was removed, bookshelf E hidden inside was revealed, as well as a gap large enough for one person to pass through.
She looked back at Fu Xingzhi's expression and finally realized that she had done something wrong.
The light in the dark room was already on when the trapdoor was pushed open. The soft white light shone into every corner of the room. Hanging on the wall and placed on the table were all portraits of Lin Can.
Jiang Wenxi covered her mouth tightly, but still couldn't help but let out a cry: "Fuck!"
Lin Can himself was shocked beyond words.
