Ch 53: Watch Your Performance
That inexplicable sense of oppression from Fu Beijun dissipated, and Qiao Rong couldn’t help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
Alas, this big shot is really too scary.
Isn’t she just trying to avoid too much contact with him? Why does he seem a little dissatisfied instead?
Doesn’t he hate her quite a bit?
Actually, after Fu Beijun finished talking to Qiao Rong, he was also a little stunned. Why did he feel uncomfortable about Qiao Rong wanting to draw a line between them?
That uncomfortable feeling was particularly strong, so he asked the unbelievable question just now.
Fu Beijun said to Qiao Rong: “Come to my house for dinner this Saturday after class.”
After dropping these words, he turned and left.
Qiao Rong looked at Fu Beijun’s departing back and fell into deep thought.
The current plot development is really different from what she imagined.
Forget it, let’s take it one step at a time. At least, he doesn’t hate her.
Thinking of this, Qiao Rong thought that if she was going to Fu Beijun’s house for dinner, she should bring some gifts since he was inviting her.
According to the description of Fu Beijun’s mother in the book, when the Fu family was still rich, Fu’s mother loved to dress up. Later, because of illness and the Fu family’s bankruptcy, Fu Beijun’s mother dressed plainly.
Qiao Rong decided to give Fu Beijun’s mother a set of skincare products.
Giving jewelry or clothes is not very appropriate, but skincare products should be fine.
Since she has to deal with Fu Beijun’s mother, she feels that she needs to please Ye Mei a little bit.
After all, the original owner’s fate is actually closely related to her.
So in this life, no one wants Ye Mei to be healthy and live a long life more than she does.
Whether Fu Beijun will become so cold and ruthless in the future actually depends on Ye Mei.
On Saturday, Fu Beijun came to her house to tutor her. Qiao Rong was a little absent-minded. She almost let everything Fu Beijun was saying go in one ear and out the other.
“Qiao Rong, are you listening to my lecture?” Fu Beijun suddenly called out her name as he was speaking.
Qiao Rong came back to her senses, looked at Fu Beijun, and showed a sweet smile: “Yes.”
“Then repeat what I just said.”
Qiao Rong: “……”
She looked down at her textbook: “You were just saying how to solve this geometry problem, right?”
Fu Beijun couldn’t help but reach out and knock her forehead: “I’m already on page 43, where is your textbook?”
Qiao Rong immediately apologized: “I’m sorry, I was just thinking about something.”
Fu Beijun couldn’t help but ask: “Thinking about what?”
“I get nervous when I think about going to your house for dinner later.” Qiao Rong said, biting her pen.
Nervous? Fu Beijun couldn’t help but stare at Qiao Rong. Seeing that her expression didn’t seem to be lying, he felt even more that she was completely different from how she used to be.
To be honest, after spending time with her during this period, those bad impressions of her in the past seemed to slowly dissipate.
Her being nervous is completely different from that person in the past.
He couldn’t help but smile: “You get nervous too? You used to run to my parents and yell at them.”
Qiao Rong was stunned for a moment. That’s right, the original owner threatened Fu De with money and ran to the hospital to anger Ye Mei in order to pursue Fu Beijun.
She did everything to provoke hatred. It is a bit strange for her to say this now.
Fu Beijun has actually been suspecting why she has changed so much, right? He is so smart, she is actually quite afraid of him seeing something abnormal.
If he knew about those strange things that happened to her, he would definitely take advantage of her.
◈◈◈
She knows his cold-blooded personality too well. He is just like that in the book, gentle on the surface but scheming behind the scenes.
Especially after his mother passed away.
He should be better now, right? She still has the courage to joke with him.
“I’m nervous. You also know that I did so many wrong things when I was ignorant before. Now I feel extremely guilty when I think about it.”
After saying this, Qiao Rong wanted to give herself a thumbs up for her wit.
How could she be so good at talking? She perfectly described the mistakes made by the original owner in the past as her own mistakes, further letting Fu Beijun know that she really knew that she had done wrong in the past.
He won’t continue to suspect why she suddenly changed so much, right?
When Fu Beijun heard her say this, from his perspective, he could only see her drooping her head. He really felt a little guilty, so he said, “My mom has forgiven you, you don’t have to be too nervous.”
When Qiao Rong heard this, she looked up at Fu Beijun: “Then you, you really don’t hate me at all, right?”
She felt that his attitude towards her was the most important thing.
Before, he said he forgave her, but later he became prejudiced against her because of Song Ranran. Qiao Rong thought, no, she felt that she couldn’t bear even a little bit of the Great Demon King’s dislike for her.
Looking at her raised little face, looking forward to him speaking, Fu Beijun suddenly realized that if he said he forgave her, would she immediately draw a line between them and never interfere with each other again?
Her performance during this period does have this trend.
So, he reached out and touched her head: “Watch your performance.”
This sentence……
That is to say, he still hates her now?
Alas, too difficult.
“Continue the lesson.” Fu Beijun changed the subject and took the book again to lecture Qiao Rong.
After the lesson, Fu Beijun was about to take Qiao Rong to her house.
Guo Zhenbao naturally supported it very much. She had always been planning to have Fu Beijun marry into their family.
This boy looks good and is smart. It’s just perfect that Rongrong likes him so much.
So, learning that Qiao Rong was going to Fu Beijun’s house for dinner, Guo Zhenbao asked people to prepare a lot of gifts: “I’ll have the driver take you there.”
Qiao Rong looked at the things in the trunk and didn’t know what to say. She looked at Fu Beijun: “Please accept these gifts.”
Fu Beijun looked at Guo Zhenbao: “Auntie, we don’t need these things.”
He really doesn’t need them. The house is small and can’t hold so many things.
“It’s okay, it’s okay, they are all some nutritious products. Your mom’s health is not good, so she needs to replenish more. You too, look at how thin you are. If you don’t replenish more, how can you protect our Rongrong and how can you reproduce for our Qiao family?”
“Mom!” Qiao Rong couldn’t listen to Guo Zhenbao’s words anymore, and quickly let Fu Beijun get in the car and leave.
How could Guo Zhenbao even say something about reproducing offspring? She is really not afraid that Fu Beijun will raid their family if he marries into them?
After walking for a while, she calmed down and looked at Fu Beijun: “Don’t take my mom’s words to heart. You know, she has always wanted you to marry into our family.”
Last time, she even made a fuss, causing her to think that Fu Beijun really wanted to marry into their family.
“I know.” Fu Beijun said lightly.
