Xiao Xin noticed him suddenly staring blankly out the window, and followed his gaze to look out the window. "What are you looking at?"
Mo Xuan shook his head and said, "No, it's probably just my imagination."
Xiao Xin didn't notice anything either. He looked away and focused on eating.
In the coffee shop on the second floor across from the restaurant, Jiang Yuqing tapped the table with her knuckles. "You asked me to meet you here just to spy on these two?"
Fu Yan glanced at him indifferently: "Didn't you invite me?"
He simply picked an address.
However, he did indeed wait for Xiao Xin for two days. Xiao Xin would come to this restaurant to eat every day, and he would always choose a seat by the window.
He was content to catch a glimpse of Xiao Xin from across the street every day.
Jiang Yuqing glanced at his expressionless face, rested her chin on the back of her hand, and asked him, "Have you been working on that Mo family project lately?"
Fu Yan took a sip of coffee and said softly, "In business, no one harms anyone else; there is only fair competition."
He paused for a moment, then added, "Besides, the Fu family really needs that project right now."
Jiang Yuqing's lips curled into a mocking smile. "What a fine example of fair competition."
He was somewhat surprised to see the word "ambition" in Fu Yan's eyes for the first time, and went straight to the point: "Xiao Yan, do you want to bring down the Mo family?"
Fu Yanmei frowned and looked at him: "What do you mean by that?"
Jiang Yuqing smiled indifferently and shrugged, "The incident of you and Mo Xuan fighting over someone on the highway caused such a big fuss, everyone knows that you and Mo Xuan don't get along."
Fu Yan narrowed his eyes, quietly glancing at him: "What does this have to do with you?"
Jiang Yuqing leaned back in her chair with her arms crossed, looking at him with a half-smile: "I just wanted to tell you that if you need help, don't hesitate to ask."
"You asked me out just to talk about this?"
Jiang Yuqing nodded, "That's right."
Fu Yan stopped talking. He glanced out the window and saw that the two people who had been sitting there had left.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now," Fu Yan said, getting up.
Jiang Yuqing quickly stopped him: "You and Xiao Xin... broke up?"
Fu Yan paused in his act of getting up, then turned and left without hesitation, waving his hand behind his back to Jiang Yuqing: "It's none of your business."
Jiang Yuqing took a sip of her coffee, a faint smile playing on her lips.
Really, it has nothing to do with him?
＊
Xiao Xin had just finished eating and returned to the company when she received a call from an unknown number.
He hung up without hesitation.
The other party didn't continue calling, but instead sent a text message: "You've left the Fu family, how are you going to repay those three hundred million?"
Xiao Xin knew it was Qiao Chen from the tone of his voice. He was in a terrible predicament, feeling like he was about to explode.
He ignored Qiao Chen and went about his own business.
With her new song about to be released, Xiao Xin didn't want to be distracted by the outside world, so she turned off her phone and immersed herself in her work.
However, plans can't keep up with changes. The song, which was originally scheduled to be released next Friday, was canceled due to internal turmoil at Mo's.
On Monday, everyone in the company was talking about how the Mo family had been targeted and was about to go bankrupt.
Xiao Xin was still editing when a colleague barged in, pulled off his headset, leaned on his shoulder, and said, "Still busy? The company is about to change ownership, pack up and go home."
Xiao Xin paused for a moment, then turned back to ask him, "What bankruptcy? What changing your surname?"
A colleague explained, "I heard that the Fu family and the Mo family fought over a project. The Mo family suffered heavy losses, and the Fu family is now preparing to acquire the Mo family."
As he spoke, he glanced around the sound room and said, "Look, including this place, it might belong to someone else in the future."
Xiao Xin frowned slightly. Could this... have been done by Fu Yan?
Seeing his blank expression, his colleague shook his head helplessly and left the office.
Xiao Xin took out her phone and dialed Mo Xuan's number, but no one answered.
His mind went blank for a moment in his anxiety, and his first thought was of Xiao Lin, who was still at Mo's Hospital.
Xiao Xin grabbed her phone, put on her black down jacket, and ran outside.
As snow fell from the sky, Xiao Xin ran to the company entrance, and snowflakes melted into his clothes one by one.
He stood on the street and hailed a taxi, rushing to the hospital without pausing for a moment.
Hospital.
Xiao Xin suddenly pushed open Xiao Lin's hospital room door, only to find it empty. He asked the doctor and learned that Xiao Lin had been discharged without his knowledge.
Xiao Xin's eyes were a little red, whether from the cold or anxiety, she didn't know. She took out her phone and dialed Fu Yan's number.
Fu Yan's call was connected, but the person who answered was not Fu Yan.
"Hello?" Jiang Yuqing's voice came through the receiver.
Xiao Xin's breathing suddenly became labored, and it felt as if his throat was being choked by two hands.
His voice trembled as he asked, "Where is Fu... Fu Yan?"
"Him?" Jiang Yuqing said lightly, "Do you need to see him?"
"I'm asking you where he is right now?!" Xiao Xin roared, silencing everyone around him.
Jiang Yuqing sat in Fu Yan's office chair, casually swirling the chair around, and replied, "He's in a meeting. What, do you want me to give him the phone now?"
Xiao Xin didn't say anything more and hung up the phone.
Jiang Yuqing handed her phone to her assistant and said with a smile, "Write down this number and send it to Wang Lili."
The assistant took the phone and replied, "Yes."
＊
Xiao Xin hung up the phone, took a taxi, and went straight to Fu Yan's company.
Mo Xuan's assistant called him midway through the process, saying that there were some problems with the Mo family's accounts that needed to be investigated, so Mo Xuan and everyone in the Mo family could not contact the outside world for the next few days.
Upon hearing this news, Xiao Xin felt utterly heartbroken.
He gripped his phone tightly, his expression numb; all he wanted to know now was whether Xiao Lin was alright.
What exactly is Fu Yan trying to do?
Xiao Xin arrived at the Fu family's company and said she wanted to see Fu Yan.
Seeing his disheveled clothes and distraught appearance, the receptionist assumed he was mentally unstable and immediately called security.
Xiao Xin was being held by the arms by two security guards, and she struggled frantically, shouting, "Let go! I'm looking for Fu Yan! Why won't you let me see him!"
The receptionist patiently explained, "No, sir, I don't have your appointment information here. You can't just see our CEO, Mr. Fu."
Xiao Xin kicked his legs wildly, pointing at him and cursing irrationally, "Go to hell! You bastard!"
The receptionist frowned, waved his hand dismissively, and treated Xiao Xin as if he were crazy.
The security guard received instructions and was about to drag the man towards the door when a cold voice came from behind him: "Let him go."
The security guard turned around, saw that it was Jiang Yuqing, and immediately called out, "President Jiang."
Xiao Xin turned around and saw Jiang Yuqing, and immediately fell silent.
Jiang Yuqing, dressed in a gray suit and followed by two bodyguards, slowly walked up to Xiao Xin and stopped. Seeing that the security guards were still holding Xiao Xin's arm, she gave them a cold look and said, "I said let him go, didn't you hear me?"
