Chapter 23, Question 23: Will they stop considering me a friend?
Lin Zhao shrank back and remained silent.
The car remained quiet all the way to my doorstep.
Lin Zhao originally wanted to say something to break the deadlock.
But Lin Zhao glanced at Fu Yansheng and suddenly didn't know how to speak.
Fu Yansheng's aura was unusually cold.
Lin Zhao opened her mouth and then silently closed it again.
Lin Zhao saw that although Fu Yansheng had a cold face, he still got out of the car and opened the door for him.
Feeling a chill run down her spine, Lin Zhao didn't know why Fu Yansheng was angry, nor did she dare to ask.
But after thinking about it carefully, Lin Zhao felt that it was still Liu Mingxi's fault, since Brother Fu got angry as soon as he finished talking about Liu Mingxi.
Lin Zhao felt like she had been struck by a bolt from the blue, but at this critical moment, she dared not say anything and could only obediently follow Fu Yansheng back to the Fu family.
Uncle Lai had prepared a late-night snack early and was waiting for the two to return in the living room. Seeing that the two were not in a good mood, he quickly went into the kitchen and brought out the food he had prepared.
"Young Master, this is a late-night snack that Mr. Fu specially asked me to prepare for you. It's all your favorite dishes," Uncle Lai said with a smile, glancing at Fu Yansheng before turning his gaze to Lin Zhao.
Lin Zhao's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Thank you, Brother Fu, thank you, Uncle Lai. Brother Fu is so kind to me."
Seeing that Lin Zhao seemed to hope that he wouldn't be angry, Fu Yansheng's initial anger dissipated.
You heartless bastard.
Fu Yansheng thought to himself.
Seeing Fu Yansheng having dinner with her, Lin Zhao felt much less stressed.
While cautiously glancing at Fu Yansheng, she sipped her soup from the bowl in front of her, inwardly praising her own cleverness.
I'm so smart!
She managed to appease Brother Fu in no time!
As Uncle Lai sensed the change in the atmosphere between the two, the stiff smile on his face gradually became sincere.
"Young Master, Mr. Fu asked me to prepare this while he was still at the company. It's all your favorite food. Didn't you say last night that you liked cakes from X's? Mr. Fu specially had them bought today and they're in the refrigerator!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao's eyes widened in disbelief as she turned to look at Fu Yansheng.
Even though Brother Fu knew he was hiding a lot of things, he would still treat me well.
This inevitably made Lin Zhao feel a little guilty.
if……
If one day Brother Fu finds out who he likes, will all the kindness shown to him disappear?
Lin Zhao felt a little disappointed at this thought. She rubbed the rim of the bowl with her fingertips. Just thinking about this matter made her heart clench.
"Brother Fu, if one day you find out that I'm not so great, will you stop considering me a friend?"
Lin Zhao picked up the bowl, hiding half of her face, not wanting the person in front of her to see her nervousness.
A pair of eyes darted around, anxiously awaiting Fu Yansheng's answer.
Upon hearing this, Fu Yansheng put down his chopsticks, his brows furrowed and his eyes serious: "Zhaozhao, you already have new friends, so you don't want to continue being friends with me?"
Fu Yansheng stared intently at Lin Zhao.
Lin Zhao is acting very strangely.
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao quickly shook his head.
"Of course not, I'm just suddenly afraid that one day Brother Fu won't want to be friends with me anymore."
Lin Zhao spoke very seriously, almost as if she were making a guarantee to the person in front of her that she would not break ties with them.
Upon hearing this, Fu Yansheng glanced at the serious-looking Lin Zhao and could only hum in response.
They didn't say whether they believed it or not.
Lin Zhao awkwardly shut her mouth and silently drank the soup in her bowl.
"No, I will always be by Zhaozhao's side."
Fu Yansheng chuckled softly as he watched Lin Zhao finish her soup and obediently say goodnight to him and Uncle Lai.
Lin Zhao then took the cake upstairs to rest.
Lin Zhao sat on the sofa in her room, watching a TV series while eating her cake.
Then I went to the bathroom to wash up, and came out to charge my phone.
As soon as I opened it, I found a new friend request on my phone.
The note reads: Mr. Luo.
Luo Sheng?
Who is it?
Lin Zhao was a little confused and frowned slightly.
After thinking about it, I accepted the friend request.
The message came immediately after we got through.
Luo Sheng: I'm sorry, Zhao Zhao. I said the wrong thing at the party. I apologize to you. Could you please ask the Lin family to let our family go?
Luo Sheng: I really only overheard those words by accident. I was just being a smart aleck and shouldn't have blurted it out, but now my parents want to remove me from the family tree...
Mr. Luo: I had no choice but to ask other people for your contact information. I'm really sorry.
Lin Zhao looked at the message sent by the person above.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed with my phone in hand, I thought for a long time before I finally figured out who this Luo Sheng was.
He was the one who revealed his true identity as a fake young master at the banquet.
At that time, Lin Xian had not yet been found, so the Lin family did not reveal Lin Xian's identity.
The person seemed to know his identity at the time, and that's why they revealed it.
Lin Zhao had long forgotten.
I never expected the Luo family to be like this now...
Lin Zhao sighed.
Actually, this matter has little to do with Luo Sheng.
Since I'm not a child of the Lin family, I can't blame anyone for discussing this matter.
From the moment Lin Zhao requested a paternity test, she had already anticipated that the whole industry would spread the word.
Therefore, Lin Zhao did not deny it at the time, but instead admitted it directly.
But he never expected that his actions would lead to such a miserable outcome for Luo Sheng.
The Lin family, that must be the older brother.
Lin Zhao thought to herself.
Lin Zhao: Don't worry, I will talk to my brother.
Lin Zhao replied to the message and then stopped looking at her phone.
But something still feels off.
The Lin family and the Luo family are not that different in terms of family background. Even if the Lin family intervenes, the Luo family would not abandon their own child, would they?
That's strange.
Forget it, if I can't figure it out, I'll stop thinking about it!
Lin Zhao leaned back and fell onto the bed. His expression changed drastically in an instant, and he instinctively hugged his calves.
Sitting for too long...
My legs are numb!
Lin Zhao reached out and rubbed her calves, her face scrunched up like a bitter gourd, but thankfully she recovered after a while.
Lin Zhao was furious for a moment, then pouted and lay down on the bed.
He took out his phone and sent a message to Lin Rong.
Lin Zhao finished sending the message and then went to sleep with her blanket!
When Lin Zhao woke up, she saw that Lin Rong had already sent her a message.
Lin Zhao yawned, and after reading the message, he also sent Lin Rong a good morning message.
Luo Sheng can rest assured now!
Lin Zhao was still in a daze, but she was still thinking about Luo Sheng's matter. She couldn't really let him be removed from the family genealogy!
Lin Zhao, still half asleep, slipped on her slippers and washed up.
Winter has arrived, and it's getting colder every day. Lin Zhao wore a thick coat today and also held up a gray scarf in front of the mirror.
Looking at herself in the mirror, with half her face hidden under the scarf, she was finally satisfied.
I went downstairs excitedly.
"Brother Fu, look, this scarf is so beautiful!"
Lin Zhao's tone was full of excitement. The living room was warm, but Lin Zhao still put on the scarf and showed it to Fu Yansheng.
Fu Yansheng watched as Lin Zhao spun around vividly, just for him to see.
Fu Yansheng smiled and said, "It looks nice, but I feel like something is missing."
Then, Fu Yansheng glanced at Uncle Lai beside him and said, "There's a small wooden box in the second drawer of the study. Bring it over."
Uncle Lai nodded and went to do it.
Lin Zhao sat next to Fu Yansheng, somewhat curious.
"Brother Fu, is there anything we're missing? I'll go get it right now!"
Once I get to the company, there won't be a way to change it.
Lin Zhao looked anxiously at Fu Yansheng, but Fu Yansheng remained silent.
We waited and waited until my uncle came down.
He handed the small wooden box to Fu Yansheng.
Lin Zhao watched as Fu Yansheng opened the brooch, and saw that inside was a silver brooch inlaid with a purple gemstone.
Fu Yansheng took out the brooch and smiled at Lin Zhao: "It was just delivered yesterday. I was planning to give it to you tonight."
Fu Yansheng stood up, faced Lin Zhao, and bowed slightly.
The man's rich woody scent lingered around them, and Lin Zhao slightly raised her head.
Seeing the extremely serious expression on Fu Yansheng's cold and hard face, Lin Zhao was momentarily stunned.
Fu Yansheng pinned the brooch in his hand to the collar of Lin Zhao's gray coat and carefully smoothed it out.
After completing these actions, Fu Yansheng gently touched the cool gemstone with his fingertips and smiled:
"It looks great."
I just don't know if this phrase refers to a person or a brooch.

Sorry I'm late QAQ, little ones!!! (bows)
-Today's Mini-Theater:
Xiao Fu (angrily): I feel like someone is trying to drive a wedge between my wife and me. [angry]

Luo Sheng (being suppressed): It was only much, much later that I realized it wasn't just Lin Rong who was suppressing me, lol [clown]
