Chapter 289 Meeting Fu Yunchen
On the other hand, after Su Jingyao left Country M, Xi Lin felt as if a piece of his heart was hollowed out. He walked out of the apartment where they used to stay from time to time.
In the apartment, the traces left by Su Jingyao have not changed at all, the neatly arranged books, the soft pillows, and her faint scent in the air. Although she had only been away for a day, Xi Lin's heart was filled with an indescribable longing.
In order to maintain this fleeting beauty, he would have someone clean the place regularly.
Xi Lin returned to the Bush family, and the easy and happy life of a few months seemed to disappear suddenly, replaced by endless responsibilities and pressure.
Su Jingyao just hung up the phone. Xi Lin knew why she was angry, but he didn't know how to explain his job to Su Jingyao.
He is the Bush family's hidden knife. He has been trained as a special forces soldier since he was a child. He now controls nearly 70% of the Bush family's arms business. Sometimes he has to personally deal with the Bush family's political enemies. He lives a life on the edge of a knife.
There is no way he could reveal his identity to her, it's too dangerous.
"Master, the war in the Middle East is about to break out. Master wants you to deliver the latest batch of arms tomorrow."
The subordinate's voice sounded behind him, breaking Xi Lin's contemplation.
Xi Lin stood in front of the French window, looking at the dark night outside with his deep eyes, feeling mixed emotions.
"This mission is over. Help me create a fake identity. I'm going to Country Z."
"Young Master, Country M and Country Z are secretly at odds right now. If the old master knew about your visit to Country Z, he would probably be angry."
There was a hint of hesitation in the subordinate's tone.
"Just do what I tell you to do. Why are you talking so much nonsense? I travel around the world every day on missions. Why would I go to Country Z and talk to my grandfather?"
When Xi Lin was in a bad mood, his tone was very aggressive.
According to the rules of the Bush family, one takes over the family business, especially the arms business, when he is young, and then starts to move into politics after the age of 30. If nothing unexpected happens, Xi Lin will also develop along this trajectory.
The more strained the relationship between Country Z and Country M is, the less suitable it is for him to go to Country Z.
It's just that she...
He wanted her to be his first lady in the future.
September has quietly arrived, and the campus is filled with vitality and anticipation for the new school year.
Su Jingyao is already a junior student. The weather is still hot as summer arrives, and she tied her hair into a fluffy bun today.
She wore a small top similar to a bellyband, the exquisite design highlighted her slender collarbone and graceful shoulder line. She wore a denim skirt with slightly frayed edges, exuding a casual sense of fashion, and paired it with a pair of Martin boots to make her look even more handsome.
Fu Yunchen has been feeling angry ever since he found out that Su Jingyao had deleted all his social media accounts.
He sat in the driver's seat, frowning, holding the steering wheel, with anger and unwillingness intertwined in his heart.
Ning Mengmeng was sitting in the car with a puzzled look on her face.
"Yunchen, aren't we going to school?" Ning Mengmeng asked in a low voice.
Ever since Su Yuning told the Fu family the news that Ning Mengmeng and Fu Yunchen were in love, Fu Yunchen's mother came to see her the first time.
Just like in the novel, Fu Yunchen's mother offered her money to leave him.
But how could Ning Mengmeng accept such insulting money? She firmly refused.
Later, she told Fu Yunchen about this, and Fu Yunchen said that no matter how much his family opposed, he would not break up with her, nor would he marry Su Yuning.
Ning Mengmeng felt relieved and was very satisfied with her decision. Fu Yunchen would gradually discover her good qualities and she was not a girl who was with him for money.
Fu Yunchen ignored Ning Mengmeng's words, put one hand on the steering wheel and played with his mobile phone with the other hand, his eyes filled with indifference and impatience.
He is waiting for Su Jingyao.
But there is no need to tell Ning Mengmeng.
After Shen Siyu came back from Country M, he found out that Shen Siyu and Su Jingyao were not together, so he wondered if she still cared about him.
Fu Yunchen and Ning Mengmeng being together is just a superficial thing. He just wants Su Jingyao to see that for an ordinary girl like Ning Mengmeng, he can resist his family even if his family opposes it. If Su Jingyao is with him, he can also protect her.
When Ning Mengmeng saw that Fu Yunchen ignored her, she felt a sense of loss in her heart.
She lowered her eyes slightly, looked at her hands, and stopped talking.
The car suddenly became quiet, as if they could hear each other's breathing.
After being with Fu Yunchen for the past few months, she really experienced what a wealthy family was. The luxurious places, expensive gifts, and the superior life that Fu Yunchen inadvertently displayed made her deeply feel an unbridgeable gap.
Ning Mengmeng bit her lips slightly, her eyes revealing confusion and uneasiness.
Fu Yunchen doesn't allow his girlfriend to dress shabbily, so the clothes she wears now are all brand-name clothes given by Fu Yunchen. Every time she sees those exquisite clothes and bags, she feels both happy and an indescribable pressure in her heart.
Fu Yunchen also did not allow his girlfriend to work part-time outside, so her monthly living expenses were also transferred to her by Fu Yunchen. At first she did not want to accept it, as she felt that this would make her appear to be very dependent on him.
But later, after realizing that the money Fu Yunchen spent on her was less than his monthly expenses, Ning Mengmeng stopped insisting.
She wanted to spend more time with Fu Yunchen and more time studying, so that Fu Yunchen could see that she was no worse than Su Jingyao.
Ning Mengmeng was sitting in the car, bored. Her eyes were wandering around, but her mind was thinking about various things. She really enjoyed the envious looks from the students outside the car from time to time.
Those gazes made her feel inexplicably satisfied and proud, as if she had become the focus of everyone's attention.
Suddenly, Ning Mengmeng saw Su Jingyao.
She is still so beautiful. When she walks on the street, everyone's eyes will unconsciously look at her.
"Yun Chen, is that Su Jingyao?"
She really wanted to know how Su Jingyao would feel if she knew that Fu Yunchen was with her now?
Fu Yunchen came back to his senses when he heard the three words "Su Jingyao".
An inexplicable excitement and nervousness surged in his heart. He looked up and saw Su Jingyao's back. It seemed as if he had returned to the first time he saw her. It was also just a back that caught his attention.
Fu Yunchen opened the car door and walked towards Su Jingyao.
Ning Mengmeng sat in the car, watching Fu Yunchen walk towards Su Jingyao without hesitation. A strong feeling of unwillingness and anger surged in her heart. She gritted her teeth and suppressed all the emotions in her heart.
I didn't expect Fu Yunchen to go straight to Su Jingyao without even saying hello.
She was flustered and lost. She couldn't leave Fu Yunchen and Su Jingyao alone like this, so she could only get out of the car quickly and follow Fu Yunchen quickly.
"Su Jingyao, long time no see."
Su Jingyao was slightly startled when she heard the familiar voice, then turned around and looked at him.
Her eyes were calm and indifferent, as if they were just ordinary acquaintances.
"Long time no see."
Then, Su Jingyao's eyes fell on Ning Mengmeng who followed over. She didn't know this girl.
"Is this your girlfriend? Congratulations." She gave a faint smile.
Fu Yunchen frowned, feeling dissatisfied and confused.
Why doesn't she care? Does she really have no feelings for him at all?
Ning Mengmeng's face flushed slightly, but when she saw that Fu Yunchen didn't say anything, she felt a little flustered and said, "Hello, my name is Ning Mengmeng, and I'm Fu Yunchen's current girlfriend."
Su Jingyao returned a polite smile.
Is Fu Yunchen here to show off to her?
When Fu Yunchen heard Ning Mengmeng take the initiative to say that she was his girlfriend, he didn't know why he was angry at Su Jingyao's indifference just now, but now he became even more panicked.
"I want to talk to you. Can we talk alone?"
Fu Yunchen spoke to Su Jingyao. The first time she asked for a breakup, he did not refuse. The second time he wanted to keep her, but failed. This time she came back, and Fu Yunchen knew that he still liked her, and he had to let her know his determination.
Su Jingyao curled her lips and smiled, with a hint of teasing in her smile.
"No, I'm afraid your girlfriend will be jealous."
When Fu Yunchen heard her call Ning Mengmeng "girlfriend" again, he felt inexplicably angry.
She's not a girlfriend at all, just a paid tool.
Ning Mengmeng sensed Fu Yunchen's dissatisfaction and panicked. She hurriedly said, "Su Jingyao, I won't be jealous. You guys chat. I'll go to school first."
She seemed to be trying to please Fu Yunchen and regain his favor.
Fu Yunchen expressed satisfaction with Ning Mengmeng's current awareness of current affairs.
Su Jingyao raised her eyebrows slightly. Since the main person didn't care, she might as well make it clear with Fu Yunchen today to avoid "accidental encounters" in the future.
Su Jingyao and Fu Yunchen were sitting in a cafe outside the school.
The coffee shop has an elegant environment, filled with a faint aroma of coffee. Sunlight shines in through the huge glass windows, forming patches of light on the ground.
They sat facing each other, with a small round table between them. On the table were two steaming cups of coffee. The white porcelain cups glowed softly in the sunlight.
"Is there anything else you want to talk to me about?" Su Jingyao's voice was calm and without any hint of emotion.
Fu Yunchen didn't expect Su Jingyao to be so cold after the breakup. He felt inexplicably lost and missed the time when they were in love.
"I know you and Shen Siyu are not together, Yaoyao. I misunderstood you before, but I just care about you very much. I am afraid that you will fall in love with Shen Siyu."
"Let's get back together. I can protect you. If you want to study, I won't be a hindrance to you."
"Fu Yunchen, I won't go back to you. You already have a girlfriend, so be careful with your words."
Su Jingyao took a sip of coffee, the bitter taste spread in her mouth, making her feel calmer.
"I don't consider Ning Mengmeng my girlfriend. She is with me only for my money."
"The reason why I let her be called my girlfriend is just to let you see that you said I couldn't resist my family at first, but now, even if my parents hate Ning Mengmeng, I don't want to break up, and they can't do anything to me."
Fu Yunchen's eyes revealed pride, as if he was showing off his abilities to Su Jingyao.
"Then have you ever tried to understand what Ning Mengmeng went through?" Su Jingyao asked calmly.
Has Ning Mengmeng ever been threatened by the Fu family? Has Ning Mengmeng ever been insulted? Has Ning Mengmeng ever been bullied at school? Has Ning Mengmeng ever been bullied by Su Yuning?
Fu Yunchen doesn't care, so he probably knows nothing.
Fu Yunchen looked puzzled. Ning Mengmeng's living conditions had improved by more than one level when she was with him. What was the experience she was talking about?
"Ning Mengmeng is living a good life now."
Su Jingyao held her chin with one hand and looked at Fu Yunchen with her bright almond eyes.
"Fu Yunchen, I have a boyfriend." Her voice was calm and firm, completely breaking Fu Yunchen's thoughts of getting back together.
She was not going to say anything to this young master. How could he, who had been spoiled all his life, understand the pain of the lower class people? But there was no need for him to understand.
Ning Mengmeng is not like Su Jingyao. She seems to be able to endure hardships, so she may keep many things to herself.
But Su Jingyao always speaks her mind. She uses her emotions to influence others rather than herself, so Su Jingyao never suffers any injustice.
But now that they broke up, she no longer had the qualifications to educate Fu Yunchen.
Fu Yunchen's expression changed immediately. "I don't believe you. You lied to me." There was a slight tremor in his voice.
"Fu Yunchen, today's coffee is delicious. If you just want to talk to me about getting back together, then we should try not to see each other again in the future." Su Jingyao's voice was decisive and indifferent.
She stood up, picked up her bag, turned around and left the cafe.
Fu Yunchen stared at Su Jingyao, his grip on the coffee cup growing stronger and stronger. "Su Jingyao, I won't give up. People in the Fu family are not someone you can get rid of just because you want to."
