Chapter 80 Something happened to my brother!
Huo Jingchen had to hastily end the last celebration banquet because of Lu Shiyan's sudden fainting, so tonight's welcoming banquet was not only to formally announce the Fu family's joining of this project, but also to make up for the guests from last time.
Huo Jingchen raised his hand and gestured, "Please come in, Mr. Fu."
Fu Ci's eyes vaguely glanced at the soup bowl of cordyceps and chicken soup. Seeing that it was empty, his eyes dimmed a little. Then he looked at Lu Shiyan, who was sitting on the sofa without moving, and asked, "Mr. Lu, aren't you going with us?"
After saying this, Fu Ci felt a little regretful. Why did he ask Lu Shiyan?
Wouldn't that seem like too much attention to him?
His hands hanging at his sides clenched quietly, and the emotions in his eyes trembled suddenly.
Lu Shiyan's originally dim eyes suddenly lit up. Was A Ci concerned about him?
Or is it just a courtesy?
He suppressed his lost mood and shook his head, "No, Aunt Liu specially made this meal, and I don't want to let her and Uncle Wang down."
"Mr. Fu and cousin, you guys go."
Lu Shiyan thought Fu Ci would leave, but the next moment, the sofa next to him sank and a strong scent of agarwood came over him. He raised his eyes and suddenly met Fu Ci's dark eyes, his noble and elegant face full of surprise.
Fu Ci met his doubtful gaze, and a hint of embarrassment welled up in his usually calm and indifferent eyes. "After such a long time, I'm too lazy to run away."
"Isn't there a welcoming banquet tonight?"
He glanced at the delicious food on the table, and immediately felt a clear sense of hunger in his stomach. He guessed that these must be the food he loved to eat in the past. It turned out that no matter how hard you try to forget, some things that are engraved in your bones can never be forgotten.
He raised his hand to cover his lips and coughed lightly. "The food has been delivered. It would be a shame if Mr. Lu couldn't finish it. Let's just consider it a favor for Mr. Lu and have a bite for lunch."
When Lu Shiyan lowered his eyes, a smile seemed to spread from the depths of his eyes. He tried hard to suppress the arc that could not help but turn up at the corner of his mouth and handed the clean chopsticks to Fu Ci, "Thank you, Mr. Fu, for helping me share the burden."
Huo Jingchen saw Fu Ci had already sat down. He had been craving Aunt Liu's cooking, so he quickly asked Xiao Zhiyan to cancel the restaurant reservation. He then sat down without hesitation, picked up his chopsticks and began to eat heartily. While eating, he kept praising, "Well, Aunt Liu's cooking is really good."
"Ayan, if you hadn't come to Nancheng, I wouldn't have had this blessing."
"Aunt Liu always complains that I don't eat enough, saying that if Ah Ci were here, I would always finish my meal."
Lu Shiyan picked up a crystal shrimp and put it into Fu Ci's bowl. Seeing his long eyelashes tremble slightly, he quickly picked up another one and put it into Huo Jingchen's bowl, saying with a smile: "If you like, cousin, you can come to our house for dinner often. Aunt Liu will definitely be very happy."
Fu Ci put the crystal shrimp into his mouth, and a familiar and long-lost taste instantly swept over the tip of his tongue. His eyes couldn't help but moisten slightly, but in an instant he returned to his usual calm and indifferent expression.
Fu Yuan on the other side of the monitor had obvious anger and viciousness in his eyes. The teacup and the jade he had been playing with were not spared and were thrown to the ground.
Uncle Qi walked in just as the sound of porcelain breaking clattered into pieces. Confused, he glanced at the mess on the ground and asked in a low voice, "Master, the clothes have been delivered to the eldest young master, but what happened to make you so angry?"
Fu Yuan's face was sinister, with a pair of deep, dark, turbid eyes flashing with a sharp light. The old eyebrows and eyes made him look even more sinister and violent. "It's obvious that Ah Ci has been portrayed as a perfect cold-hearted and emotionless person."
"And now I'm actually sitting here with Lu Shiyan and the others to have a meal, and they're having a great time?"
Qi Bo's eyes immediately turned to the surveillance camera nearby. Seeing the three people sitting together, he finally understood why Fu Yuan was angry.
Although Fu Ci was sitting some distance away from the cousins, this was not allowed or accepted by Fu Yuan.
He sighed quietly and suggested, "Master, although the eldest young master has been repeatedly cleared and his previous memories have been reset by the medical team over the past three years."
"But there's no guarantee that his prolonged contact with Lu Shiyan won't awaken his past memories."
"So why not let the young master come back? I always feel that this is too risky."
Fu Yuan's eyes were dark. He clutched the blanket on his legs tightly and closed his eyes in pain. When he opened them again, he slowly exhaled the foul air that was blocked in his chest. "If you want to destroy them, you must first drive them crazy."
"The same principle applies to Fu Ci. He's even more cruel and difficult to discipline than his father."
Fu Yuan waved to Qi Bo, leaned over and whispered a few instructions.
Qi Bo's eyes suddenly widened. He glanced at Fu Yuan and then quickly lowered his eyes. "Master, isn't this too risky?"
"Lu Shiyan and the Lu family are not easy to mess with, and they are in the Huo family... If Huo Jingchen is involved, I'm afraid the Fu family won't be able to escape unscathed!"
Fu Yuan's face was as gloomy as water, and his voice was as cold as a venomous snake, "He deserves it!"
"I can't care less. With the years of relationship he and Ah Ci have had, he's a bomb that can go off at any time. As long as he doesn't give up, I'll be worried about the risk of losing Ah Ci."
"So you can't blame me for being rude to him. He brought this upon himself."
He became more and more excited as he spoke, slapping the wheelchair handles with both hands. A flash of resentment flashed in his eyes. "If he knew what was good for him, he should have stayed away from Ah Ci. But he didn't know what was good for him and wanted to snatch Ah Ci from me."
Fu Yuan said with a paranoid and sinister tone, "I've already lost Ling Yuan, and I can't lose A Ci again."
In the luxurious and lively banquet hall, guests dressed in gorgeous gowns were toasting each other and chatting happily under the bright lights.
At the same time, this most magnificent and lavishly invested project in Nancheng's history, spearheaded by the Huo family and invested by the Lu and Fu families, is destined to become an epic project in Nancheng's shopping malls.
Huo Jingchen was socializing with people everywhere. Lu Shiyan was originally cold-tempered, and now Fu Ci was the same. In addition, their status was unattainable, so no one dared to get close to them, and they were happy to be free.
Lu Shiyan came out of the bathroom and was washing his hands. He glanced through the mirror in front of him at two strange men in black suits who suddenly appeared behind him. Sensing danger, he immediately raised his elbow to fight back, but was knocked unconscious by the third man hiding in the dark who covered his mouth and nose.
Soon, several people disappeared stealthily.
Fu Ci sat on the sofa in the corner, exuding a cold and indifferent aura that kept strangers away. Under his handsome sword-like eyebrows were a pair of slender and affectionate peach blossom eyes, as if one could fall in love with them immediately at a glance. However, at this moment, due to his unstable mind, he felt an inexplicable irritability and uneasiness.
He quickly scanned the bustling banquet hall and looked at the Patek Philippe watch on his wrist. It had been almost twenty minutes since his brother left.
Time passed by little by little, and Lu Shiyan still hadn't come back. Fu Ci suddenly felt his heart beating wildly. He clutched his chest tightly, feeling as if something important was getting away from him.
The color on his face faded instantly, and Fu Ci's first reaction was that something had happened to his brother!
