Ch 219: What kind of trouble is this man trying to stir up again?
Professor Wu Fan gave Lu Min some oral medication after performing a psychological profile for the first time.
Under the influence of the medication, Lu Min gradually improved and no longer resisted Zheng Xiao.
“Xiao Xiao, smile.”
He liked Zheng Xiao’s smile.
He always had.
Besides painting, his favorite thing was photography.
And he took the most pictures of Zheng Xiao’s smile.
Then he would paint it.
He never sold those paintings, and he wasn’t even willing to put them in galleries for exhibition, saying he couldn’t bear to let others peek at Zheng Xiao’s beauty.
Zheng Xiao smiled and hugged Lu Min, “Lu Lu, you’re finally willing to call me.”
Outside the door, Lu Li witnessed this scene. Although his heart was breaking, he still insisted on sending Zheng Xiao over every day, as if masochistically wanting to witness Zheng Xiao and Lu Min’s relationship getting better and better.
Lu Min’s dependence on Zheng Xiao was clear even to someone like him who didn’t understand psychology.
Jiang Zao was also outside the door, gently patting Lu Li’s shoulder.
She said, “If you truly love her, then boldly say it. Opportunities are in your own hands. Xiao Xiao is just helping Lu Min with his treatment right now, it doesn’t mean they will get back together.”
When Professor Wu Fan asked Zheng Xiao what her relationship with Lu Min was, Zheng Xiao hesitated.
It was that hesitation that made Jiang Zao determine that Lu Li already occupied a certain place in Zheng Xiao’s heart.
Lu Li wanted to laugh, but the corners of his lips that turned up were more like self-deprecation, “They are very much in love.”
This was what he had witnessed with his own eyes for many days, and it couldn’t be faked.
He lost.
He used to lose to a ‘dead man’.
Now he lost to time.
He didn’t meet Zheng Xiao sooner; they met at the wrong time.
“General Jiang, I’m fine, you don’t need to comfort me. It’s just a broken heart, I can handle it.” He pretended to be strong.
Jiang Zao also didn’t have any solution. Outsiders couldn’t judge this kind of thing, only time could prove everything.
“Wife.” Fu Yanci suddenly appeared behind her.
He greeted Lu Li very enthusiastically, and even showed concern for Lu Min’s condition.
“Wife, Professor Wu Fan is an authority in this field, you can rest assured, she will definitely be able to help Lu Min come out of the shadows of the past.” The corners of his mouth were almost splitting to the back of his ears as he smiled.
But this silly appearance didn’t make Jiang Zao lower her guard against him.
What kind of trouble is this man trying to stir up again?
“Thank you for helping to invite Professor Wu Fan, I’ll accept this favor on behalf of Xiao Xiao,” Jiang Zao said.
Fu Yanci was someone who never let go of any opportunity: “Then do me the honor of having a meal with me, just consider it repaying the favor.”
Jiang Zao: “……”
Half an hour later, Jiang Zao was brought by Fu Yanci to a private restaurant called Chen Family Kitchen.
The decoration followed a minimalist style, and even each room had a different theme, always giving people the urge to experience all the private rooms.
Moreover, it was said that this store was renovated once a year, changing all the themes.
Fully satisfying the curiosity of the guests.
In addition, the chef’s cooking skills were online, so the business had always been booming.
The most important thing was that this place didn’t have a membership system, nor did it provide reservation services.
◈◈◈
Whether you can catch up with an empty private room all depended on time and luck.
When Jiang Zao sat in the Adam and Eve retro-themed private room, looking at the explicit art paintings on the wall, she immediately had the urge to turn around and leave.
Before leaving, it would be best to give this man a shoulder throw.
That’s what she thought, and that’s what she did.
Bang!
Fu Yanci was thrown to the ground.
Jiang Zao felt extremely happy in her heart.
Perfect.
She flicked her hair and turned to leave.
“Wife!”
It was unknown how Fu Yanci did it, but he quickly jumped up and blocked Jiang Zao’s path.
His expression was very serious, “I didn’t mean to trick you on purpose, it’s just that this is the only private room left here today. The reason I brought you here is because my way of conducting myself and dealing with things has a great connection with this place. I want to open my heart and talk to you once, and I hope you can give me this opportunity.”
Jiang Zao was angry in her heart, but the shoulder throw just now had released most of her anger. Looking at the man’s pleading gaze at this moment, she didn’t know why, but she nodded and agreed.
The two sat opposite each other, and the dishes served by the waiter were random. It was said that this was also a tradition of this restaurant.
That is, guests cannot order dishes.
If there was a need to avoid certain foods, or the dishes served didn’t suit the taste, then it could only mean that the guest and the restaurant had no fate.
Therefore, the reviews of this restaurant in the food critic world were mixed.
But it unexpectedly made this restaurant famous, becoming an internet celebrity check-in spot, and even appearing on hot searches many times. Many celebrities had come to experience it, which also invisibly drove some fan effects and stimulated consumption.
Jiang Zao wasn’t picky about food and ate with relish, deliberately ignoring the man across from her.
Fu Yanci sighed helplessly, “I’m sorry.”
Jiang Zao’s chopsticks paused, she raised her eyes, “What?”
Fu Yanci repeated, this time his tone was more serious and solemn than just now: “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have included you in my plans.”
Jiang Zao lost her appetite, put down her chopsticks, wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin, and looked at the man across from her again, waiting for his next words.
Fu Yanci, on the other hand, hadn’t eaten a single bite from beginning to end. Although his eyes were on Jiang Zao, his thoughts had returned to the past.
“As the Fu Family Heir, I followed my father to learn various skills since I was a child, and I often came here to eat with him. Each time, there would be a beautiful sister accompanying me. At first, I thought they were my father’s partners, until later those women began to try to use me. They even scalded me with hot water first, and then acted very nervous about me in front of my father, in order to gain my father’s favor.”
Jiang Zao frowned subconsciously.
She didn’t dislike scheming, after all, everyone had different survival methods.
But using scheming on a child was too much.
Fu Yanci continued, “Later, I accidentally discovered that every time I ate with those sisters, my mother would secretly cry. There were even people who came to the Fu Family with big bellies, clamoring for my mother to give up her position as the Fu Family Matriarch.”
“Illegitimate children also have inheritance rights. It was at that time that I began to feel a sense of crisis. Zhang Yinhe told me countless times that if those women’s children were allowed to enter the family, I would completely lose the Fu Family. We, including my mother, would become the laughingstock of the entire Lin City. At that time, Zhang Yinhe was very good to me, so I believed her. I began to return the schemes those women used on me to them, and began to plot against every woman around my father.”
Jiang Zao only asked one question, “How old were you then?”
Fu Yanci: “Eight years old.”
He continued, “At first, my methods were very immature and were seen through by my father, but he didn’t criticize me. Instead, he told me that as the Fu Family Heir, I had to have the courage, and I couldn’t be timid in doing things. If I wanted to hit the mark with one strike, I had to plan fully. In this way, we still often came here to eat, and there were still different women appearing, but they all became tools for my father to test my scheming.”
Jiang Zao: “……”
“How could he teach a child like that?” She simply couldn’t understand.
