Chapter 55: Higher than the sky and deeper than the sea
Fu Yanci went home in the evening and checked Shen Shuli's medicine. He felt relieved when he saw that there was less.
Shen Shuli followed and pulled his clothes, "The Fu family's lawyer called me today and wanted to settle it with money."
Fu Yanci put away her medicine, turned around and hugged her, "What do you think?"
Shen Shuli lowered her eyes and leaned in his arms, "They morally blackmailed me, saying that Fu Lingyuan is your second brother and we are all family. They asked me to take a step back and let me set the price. I don't want you to have a hard time in the Fu family."
Fu Yanci already knew what she was thinking.
He kissed her cheek lightly. "So, tell me, are Fu Lingyuan and I considered a family? Is he worthy?"
Shen Shuli felt more confident and hugged him tighter, "Indeed, you are not worthy. Are you going to completely break up with the Fu family for me?"
Fu Yanci sneered, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. "When have the Fu family and I never fallen out? It's better to make a big deal this time, so I don't have to find another opportunity in the future. After all, he was the one who wronged you, not me who deliberately caused trouble for him. You and I will always stand on the moral high ground!"
Shen Shuli understood what he meant. For businessmen like them, reputation was their most important concern. Sometimes a bad reputation could even ruin half of a business. Occupying the moral high ground was a very important thing.
After all, public opinion, if used well, can also be a very useful weapon.
"However, you must also be mentally prepared. Even if he gets the maximum sentence, it will only be a matter of a few years. When he gets out, it will be another bloody battle. Are you afraid?"
Fu Yanci was a little worried. After all, nothing was more important than Chen Shuli, and he would not allow any possibility of hurting her.
Shen Shuli hugged him tightly, "You are not afraid, so why should I be afraid? Do you really think that our Shen family was scared? My brother alone is enough for him to eat a pot, not to mention that I have my father and my grandfather. If we separate them, we can beat him to death."
When Fu Yanci heard this, instead of being happy, he felt a little worried. In the dream he had, she said, "I have my brother to protect me. I will not be with you anymore. My brother is willing to support me for the rest of my life!"
He was really afraid that one day, Shen Shuli would resolutely leave him because she had Shen Jinglan as her backing!
The next day, Fu Yanci waited until Shen Shuli finished breakfast. He originally wanted to watch her take the medicine before leaving, but he received a call from the company and had some urgent matters to deal with.
Shen Shuli coaxed him and asked him to go to the company to make money quickly.
Fu Yanci was helpless, and told Li Ma a few more words, asking her to take good care of Shen Shuli, and then set off for the company.
As soon as he left, Li Ma brought some water to her room.
"Madam, the master told me to remind you to take your medicine on time."
"Put it there. I'll eat it now. You go out and do your work."
Mother Li turned and left.
Shen Shuli got out of bed barefoot, took out the necessary amount to eat, and flushed it down the toilet.
She just hoped that she would get better soon and didn't want to live this Mission Impossible life anymore.
After a while, Mu Huaixu called her, and she remembered that today was the day Mu Huaixu would be back, and they had agreed to discuss legal cooperation today.
She didn't tell him about the accident.
She answered the call quickly.
"Ali, I went to your law firm to look for you. They said you were sick, but you were fine the day before yesterday. What happened to you?"
Shen Shuli had no intention of hiding it. "Fu Lingyuan came to me for revenge and injured me. I'm still recuperating at home. I'm afraid I'll have to wait a few days for the contract."
"Fu Lingyuan hurt you? Is he crazy? Is the baby in your belly okay?"
Mu Huaixu's tone was quite worried.
Shen Shuli didn't want to tell him the messy ins and outs and make him worry.
"I'm fine, I just need to rest for a few days. When I'm fine again, I'll come to talk to you about the contract."
"There's no rush for the contract. Where are you? I'll come check on you. I'm worried. I can't rest assured until I see how you're doing."
Mu Huai's preface.
Shen Shuli remembered how jealous and crazy Fu Yanci was last time. He didn't like Mu Huaixu coming over.
"I'm resting at home. I have servants taking care of me. It's okay. You don't have to go."
"A servant takes care of you? Where's Fu Yanci? How can he still be in the mood to work when you're injured like this?"
Mu Huaixu was so angry that he suddenly raised his voice.
"I asked him to go to work. I'm fine, don't worry."
"I'm going to hang up now. I'll talk to you later."
Mu Huaixu didn't wait for her response and hung up the phone first.
Shen Shuli thought he was angry. After all, he had never hung up her phone before, so she lay back down and continued to rest.
After a while, someone knocked on her door and Li Ma's voice came.
"Mr. Mu, why are you here?"
Shen Shuli quickly put on her slippers and ran out. How come Mu Huaixu really came here!
When Mu Huaixu saw her come out, he lowered the corners of his lips and said, "I came to see A'li."
Aunt Li said, "Then I'll go call the young master."
"No, I'll be leaving in a moment."
Mu Huaixu didn't change his shoes and walked straight towards Shen Shuli.
Li Ma didn't listen to him and secretly ran to the kitchen, called Fu Yanci, and poured tea for Mu Huaixu.
In Mu Huaixu's sight, there was only Chen Shuli, with a frown on his face, unable to relax at all.
"Why are you so haggard? He made me leave just to take care of you like this? Is he worthy of being a husband?"
Shen Shuli noticed the hidden meaning in his words.
"You mean, the one causing trouble for your branch is Fu Yanci?"
Mu Huaixu didn't say anything, but his expression was extremely ugly.
But it also shows everything.
Aunt Li came over and said, "Boss Mu, I've made tea for you. Our young master said he'll be back soon."
Mu Huaixu didn't even look at her.
Fu Yanci just came back, he just happened to have a score to settle with him alone!
Shen Shuli pointed in the direction of the sofa and said, “You came here specially, go have some tea and take a rest first.”
Mu Huaixu then followed her to the living room.
Mu Huaixu sat on the sofa.
Shen Shuli moved a chair and sat down opposite the coffee table, "Thank you for coming to see me, I know your company is very busy, I'm fine, you go and do your thing first."
"How can I concentrate on my work if I don't take a good look at you? You sit on the sofa and I'll take the chair."
Mu Huaixu stood up and prepared to change seats with her.
Aunt Li put a plate of cream rolls in front of him with a clatter, and spoke in a sarcastic tone.
"Boss Mu, have some dessert. I made it this morning. It's our young mistress and young master's favorite. Come and try it."
Mu Huaixu glared at her without saying a word, then stood up to change seats with Shen Shuli.
Shen Shuli couldn't persuade him, so she could only let him sit on the sofa.
Li Ma continued sarcastically, "The love between our young master and young mistress for 15 years is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea. No one loves young mistress more than our young master. Even if our young mistress doesn't like the food, our young master will eventually eat it and it will become his favorite. Who can compare to this kind of love?"
