Chapter 176 (Elder Brother x Fu) I have something to discuss with her
Fu Yingshi didn't want to continue talking to him, it was no use. "Stop following me, or I really will call the police."
Richard looked at her with affection and took a step closer. "Poetry, you are lonely. I just want to keep you company."
Fu Yingshi stepped back and shook her head. "No, I don't need it. Please stay away from me."
Richard's expression was somewhat hurt, and the tenderness in his eyes turned into obsession. "Why? Why won't you accept me? My heart is full of you. He is yours. You should see."
As he spoke, he approached her step by step.
Fu Yingshi knew he was very paranoid and would overinterpret her own behavior, thinking that one glance at him meant she was in love with him, but she never expected it to get worse and worse.
Perhaps it was my return to China that provoked him.
His eyes terrified her.
Fu Yingshi hurriedly backed away, "Stop, Richard, you're scaring me. You're hurting me."
Richard seemed not to hear what she was saying. He stepped forward to take her hand, muttering to himself, "Poetry, I love you. I would never hurt you. I just want you to see my true heart. Don't you want a heart that belongs entirely to you? It's so beautiful, so pure. That's what you need..."
Fu Yingshi frowned deeply, then turned and ran.
The high heels weren't running fast, and Richard followed at a leisurely pace, much like a cat teasing a mouse.
Fu Yingshi wasn't simply afraid; she was worried that he might lose control of his emotions and do something extreme that would hurt her.
Fortunately, this area isn't a remote place, and there are still people coming and going.
I should have stayed home today.
No, she would only be more afraid if she met him in the underground parking garage.
She looked out at the roadside, panting, and quickly waved. A taxi soon stopped in front of her.
Fu Yingshi hurriedly opened the car door and got in. Looking at Richard in the rearview mirror, he stood not far away and did not chase after her. He was just looking in her direction. His face was backlit, so her expression was not clear, but it sent chills down her spine.
She didn't go back to her home alone, worried that he would find her doorstep and come to tear down the door in the middle of the night.
They went straight back to the old house.
The enormous mansion occupies a vast area, boasts a grand design and meticulous layout, showcasing the grandeur of a wealthy family.
Fu Yingshi walked into the front yard, but froze on the spot.
Outside the gate, two men looked at her at the same time.
The middle-aged man saw her and smiled, "Yingshi, come here."
When Fu Yingshi saw the other person, all the previous distress and annoyance vanished, leaving only a cold and numb feeling.
She didn't look at him anymore, and slowly walked closer, "Dad."
Fu Zongwen laughed and criticized her, "Don't you recognize anyone? Why didn't you say hello?"
In his view, his daughter's decision to go abroad back then was nothing more than a child's game.
Now, his daughter has grown up and is reliable and steady in her work.
Li Xiao was an exceptional individual, possessing a calm and extraordinary aura despite his young age. Even when he was talking to the other party, he had to be on his toes.
So he didn't take it seriously at all.
Fu Yingshi glanced at him, then looked away. "Young Master Li."
Upon hearing the address, a glint of light flashed in Li Xiao's calm eyes.
Noticing her pale face, he asked in a low voice, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Fu Zongwen looked up at him, his face expressionless, but a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Fu Yingshi shook her head and didn't say anything.
Fu Zongwen suppressed his doubts, smiled at Li Xiao, and said to Fu Yingshi, "President Li came here today specifically to discuss an overseas cooperation project with me. If I had known you were coming back today, I should have let you listen in as well. President Li is only a few years older than you, but he is already capable of handling things on his own. You should learn from your older brothers. I will feel at ease entrusting the Fu family to you in the future."
Fu Yingshi nodded.
Li Xiao looked at Fu Zongwen and said, "Chairman Fu, your daughter and I are friends. I need to talk to her about something."
Fu Zongwen's gaze shifted and he was about to speak when Fu Yingshi said, "I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well and I'd like to go and rest first."
After saying that, he went inside without waiting for their response.
Her face was already a little pale, and Fu Zongwen was a little worried. He looked apologetically at Li Xiao, "This girl is so rude. She's used to freedom abroad and hasn't adjusted to life since coming back."
Li Xiao withdrew his gaze. "Why don't you go and see her? She doesn't look well. Have a doctor come and take a look. I'll leave now. It's not urgent; we can talk another day."
Fu Zongwen nodded in agreement, thinking to himself that the Li family's children were indeed outstanding.
Li Xiao left the Fu family and got into the car, stretching out his long legs and taking up most of the space.
His narrow eyes were lowered, and he was calmly lost in thought.
The assistant left in the car glanced in the rearview mirror, not daring to make a sound. He had been by the young master's side for many years. Although he couldn't figure out the young master's personality, he could accurately sense dangerous emotions.
What trouble has the young master encountered?
The Fu family is considered one of the top wealthy families in China, but their international reputation is like that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Although the young master valued the other party for this collaborative project because they were a real business, honest and responsible.
But this kind of project doesn't even require the young master to personally negotiate it. With that, what unpleasant things could possibly happen?
No one offered him any answers.
Li Xiao lifted his long eyelashes and looked in the direction of the Fu family.
After a moment, he slowly withdrew his voice, "Go back."
The Fu family.
Fu Zongwen went inside to find his wife, and the two of them knocked on their daughter's door together.
"Your dad said you're not feeling well? What's wrong?" Ji Meihua looked at her daughter's face, raised her hand to touch her forehead and neck, "No fever."
Seeing his daughter's listless appearance, Fu Zongwen asked, "Are you feeling unwell or has something happened? Why are you home at this hour?"
Fu Yingshi wanted to talk about being followed today, but she was afraid that the two of them would worry too much, so she only said, "It might be because my period is coming soon and I'm feeling a little down due to hormones."
The two of them were then a little relieved.
"Li Xiao was here just now, but he didn't ask you if you still like her," Fu Zongwen asked gently.
Ji Meihua asked in surprise, "You ran into them?"
Fu Yingshi was annoyed and shook her head. "It happened so many years ago, why bring it up again?"
"I must say, you have excellent taste, girl. Li Xiao is a rare talent among this generation. You should keep your eyes open in the future and find someone outstanding too," Fu Zongwen said with a smile.
Ji Meihua nodded in agreement, "He also needs to be handsome, so I can have face when I take my grandson out in the future."
Fu Yingshi: ...
My mood became increasingly irritable.
"I want to rest now. Mom and Dad, you should rest early too."
The two exchanged a glance and then dropped the subject, probably because they felt embarrassed.
After closing the door, Fu Yingshi leaned against it in frustration.
Why can someone ask you if you've taken birth control pills and ask you if you're feeling unwell in exactly the same tone?
What is it that he wants to talk about?
What could they possibly have to talk about?
Then I thought of Richard.
Will he give up on bothering him so easily? Will he become even more obsessive and impulsive later on?
