Ning Nanxue's eyebrows twitched, and she took a sip of coffee. The heat blurred the sneer that flashed across her eyes. "And then?"
"Like you," Fu Chen paused, looking at her seriously, "just like you were so obsessed with me before." He deliberately emphasized the word "before", trying to see something from her face.
Ning Nanxue's lips curled up in a faint sneer, as if she had just heard a bad joke: "Mr. Fu has a good memory. But what does this have to do with me? Miss Su is free to like whoever she likes."
"We can make a deal." Fu Chen walked closer to her and lowered his voice. "As long as you are willing to say a few good words for Su Yao in front of Jiang Tingchen, let him treat Su Yao better and give Su Yao a chance, I will immediately stop the plan to swallow up the Ning family."
He felt that this deal was a good one. Ning Nanxue could save the Ning family, and he could also take care of Su Yao and stabilize this financial backer.
Jiang Tingchen's car just drove up from the underground garage, intending to pick up Ning Nanxue.
He saw Fu Chen and Ning Nanxue standing opposite each other from a distance, and Fu Chen's posture seemed a bit oppressive.
Jiang Tingchen frowned, his fingers unconsciously moved to the screen of his mobile phone, stopped at the alarm shortcut key, and stared at it.
Ning Nanxue seemed to have heard a huge joke and suddenly burst out laughing. The laughter was crisp, but it was full of undisguised sarcasm. "Mr. Fu, are you confused? The Ning Group is now backed by the Huayun Group. What can you use to negotiate with me? Your Fu Group, which is about to go bankrupt?"
As she spoke, she started walking away. When she passed by Fu Chen, her hand was very quick. She reached into the inner pocket of Fu Chen's suit and took out a corner of a photo.
By the time Fu Chen reacted, Ning Nanxue had already pulled out the entire photo - it was a rare photo of him and Ning Nanxue together, with the garden of the Fu family's old house as the background.
"Instead of worrying about other people's business," Ning Nanxue said with cold eyes. With a force of her fingers, the photo with a hint of the past was torn in two between her fingers. She crumpled it up and threw it into the trash can beside her. "Why not take good care of your investor and prevent her from causing trouble everywhere?"
Fu Chen's face suddenly turned dark, and he was very angry at Ning Nanxue's actions and words.
"Ning Nanxue!" He growled and reached out to grab her arm.
Ning Nanxue was prepared and tried to dodge by moving sideways, but Fu Chen was too quick and his fingers still caught her sleeve. With a "swish", the sleeve of her off-white cashmere coat was roughly torn open by him.
"Fu Chen, what are you doing!" Jiang Tingchen's angry voice came over. He had already parked the car and walked over in a few steps. He pulled Ning Nanxue behind him, and his tall body blocked her and Fu Chen.
"Tingchen." Ning Nanxue's tense nerves relaxed when she saw him.
Jiang Tingchen shook her hand and told her not to worry, then turned to Fu Chen, his eyes as cold as ice: "Mr. Fu, please stay away from Xue'er. If you bother her again, I don't mind making Fu's life more difficult."
Fu Chen looked at Jiang Tingchen protecting Ning Nanxue, then glanced at Ning Nanxue's torn sleeve, his chest heaving violently.
He wanted to say something, but found that he didn't know how to start.
In front of Jiang Tingchen's powerful aura, all his little calculations and threats seemed so ridiculous.
He could only watch Jiang Tingchen hugging Ning Nanxue and getting into the car.
In the car, Jiang Tingchen took off his suit jacket and draped it over Ning Nanxue's shoulders, covering the torn cuff.
Back in the apartment, under the light, Jiang Tingchen lowered his eyes and carefully repaired the part of Ning Nanxue's coat that was torn by Fu Chen.
"Fu Chen is really anxious." Jiang Tingchen's voice was low, with a little unnoticeable coldness. "I'm afraid Fu's purse is almost empty. That's why he wanted to use this method to stabilize Su Yao, and even exchange Ning's for you."
Ning Nanxue gently leaned her head on his shoulder, feeling the warmth coming from him: "The more he acts like this, the more it proves that our previous method was correct. I'm afraid Su Yao is not so easy to fool. I heard that she has already planted her own people in the Fu family's finance department, and she is keeping a close eye on how the Fu family's money is spent."
He put down his clothes and kissed her forehead lightly: "The location that Xu Zhiru sent you a few days ago, saying that Fu Chen would be there, and asked you to 'happen to meet him', is obviously a trap. She probably wants Fu Chen to think that you are still interested in him, or wants to use this to stimulate Su Yao and let them fight each other."
Ning Nanxue raised her hand and touched his face, a sly glint in her eyes: "Her little tricks are just the same. But this reminds me. Since she wants to cause trouble between us, why don't we take advantage of her trick?"
Jiang Tingchen's eyes lit up and he looked at her: "You mean..."
"Let Su Yao 'see' with her own eyes that we're done." Ning Nanxue's mouth curved into a meaningful arc, "Hasn't she always wanted to get me away from you? Let's give her this 'chance'."
Jiang Tingchen looked at her, and after a moment, he smiled, "Xue'er, you're really quick-witted." He held her hand, "Okay, I'll do as you say. I'll find someone to arrange it so that this drama looks more realistic."
The next day, in the elevator of Fu Group.
Several female employees were gathered together, whispering something.
"Hey, have you heard? Yesterday, Mr. Ning from Ning's and Mr. Jiang from Huayun seemed to have had a big fight on the company rooftop!" A young girl in a professional suit lowered her voice and said mysteriously.
"Is this true? Aren't they very close?" another girl said with disbelief.
"It's absolutely true! My cousin works at Ning's, and she saw it with her own eyes! It is said that the quarrel was very fierce. Mr. Jiang's face turned black, and he slammed the door and left. President Ning's eyes were red, and it seemed that he even got physical. The sleeves of President Ning's coat were torn!" The girl who broke the news spoke with details.
"Oh my God, no way? Could it be that the Jiang family doesn't agree? Or is it because of business matters?"
"Who knows? Things in rich families are complicated..."
The elevator door opened with a ding, and Su Yao walked out in high heels. She just heard the last few sentences.
She paused, her face expressionless, but her heart was filled with turmoil.
Ning Nanxue and Jiang Tingchen had a fight? And they even got physical?
She walked into her temporary office, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the news was not right. She picked up the phone on the table and dialed Fu Chen's number.
When the call was connected, Su Yao's voice was filled with a bit of deliberately suppressed pride: "I heard that Ning Nanxue and Jiang Tingchen had a conflict? Fu Chen, do you have any news?"
If this is true, has her chance come?
