Chapter 398 Why did you abandon me?
"She wants to cooperate with you too?"
Ye Jin'er mentioned Yu Canling's suggestion to Fu Shaochen, but Fu Shaochen did not respond immediately. Instead, he briefly recounted Lu Xuening's earlier suggestion.
Lu Xuening stated that she needed to create the illusion of dating him to ensure that she could stay in the Lu family for the time being, while at the same time she would assist in overthrowing the Lu family from within.
Fu Shaochen was certainly not so confident as to believe that it was all due to his own charm.
He knew that all of this was because he was currently backed by the Ye family and had the status of a member of the Fu family, which made the cooperation valuable.
Moreover, the fact that Lu Xuening could make such a suggestion shows that she actually has a very sharp eye.
The moment they saw him, they immediately recognized him as a traitor to the family. How can that not be considered ruthless?
It's obvious that Fu Sizhou's brotherly act can only fool those who are willing to believe it.
Moreover, Lu Xuening was very direct from the start, stating that she could not accept anything about the Lu family. She knew that Fu Shaochen was in a similar situation to her, so she proposed a collaboration.
After exchanging a few probing questions with her, Fu Shaochen concluded that Lu Xuening didn't have many cards to play, and the value of their cooperation was clearly less than that of Yu Canling's side.
But... her personal abilities are obviously not bad, and it must be said that Lu Xuening chose a very good entry point. She successfully aroused Fu Shaochen's feelings of sympathy, so Fu Shaochen is now somewhat hesitant.
Of course, this is not something he can decide on his own.
"I'll agree to Sister Yu's request for now. I'll report Lu Xuening's matter to my eldest sister later, and then we'll make arrangements."
Ye Jin'er pondered for a while, but couldn't come up with a better solution for the time being.
In his view, Lu Xuening's decision to reveal her hand right away was not decisive, but rather a desperate gamble.
After all, if Lu Xuening's situation is real, it looks very serious. She must be trying her best to save herself; in other words, it's her last struggle.
If she were to be arranged to marry into the Lu family as a potential marriage partner, her fate would be uncertain. Therefore, it's understandable that Lu Xuening is anxious to find a business partner before then.
Especially now that it's wedding season, it's common for someone to have several couples at their wedding, which is usually considered a wonderful story...
In other words, she seized the opportunity well.
It's not impossible for Fu Shaochen to have his cake and eat it too... Since it's all an illusion, let's just muddy the waters a bit.
The problem is that this has raised the level of hatred too high, and it will also give Fu Sizhou an excuse to teach him a lesson.
He wasn't sure if Fu Shaochen was capable of handling this complicated situation.
"Row."
Fu Shaochen said no more. After meeting up with Shen Ji at the door, they headed towards... the kitchen.
The fog was too thick. Shen Ji had been observing for a while, pretending to smoke at the door, and could only see Lu Wangxuan heading towards the kitchen. He would have to go over there to find out exactly where he went.
Ye Jin'er thought to herself, "I really should fly a drone in too..."
Zhou Jiawen had followed us without us noticing, as if he were a ghost.
This was agreed upon beforehand, so Ye Jin'er wasn't startled, but Shen Ji was almost.
Zhou Jiawen patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.
Shen Ji: I feel like being patted on the shoulder in this kind of environment only reminds me of that "don't look back" legend...
Zhou Jiawen: It's so exciting to have the right boss!
The kitchen wasn't very busy at the moment. After the dining tables were removed, the staff dispersed to handle other tasks, leaving only a few dishwashers behind.
Ye Jin'er glanced around the doorway to make sure Lu Wangxuan was inside, then patted the door. "Get out, all of you."
The dishwashers looked up from the sink and stared at him blankly.
"The Ye family has business to attend to, please leave," Zhou Jiawen said as he stepped forward.
Someone inside seemed to recognize Ye Jin'er, whispered a few words to the others, and they quickly passed by the four people at the door.
As workers for the Lu family, they should at least learn how to protect themselves wisely.
Lu Wangxuan seemed oblivious, continuing to stuff something into the bag he was carrying.
He had his back to the door. There was an old woman next to him who looked a little panicked and was pulling at his arm, but Lu Wangqian impatiently shook her off.
Ye Jin'er walked over, and Zhou Jiawen closed the kitchen door. The door couldn't be locked from the inside, so he also used something to lock the door.
"Lu Wangxuan." Ye Jin'er stopped a few steps behind Lu Wangxuan and greeted him.
Lu Wangxuan then turned around, and then...
His expression was as if he had seen a ghost.
"...Ah Jing?"
He seemed to want to take a step forward, but then looked down at the black plastic bag in his hand, shoved the bag into the old woman's hand, wiped his hands on his clothes, and then quickly walked forward.
"Ah Jing, you're not dead...? You've come back to find me...?"
Lu Wangxuan's eyes flashed with an abnormal light, and his expression was also very distorted, showing a mixture of sorrow and joy, as if he was about to burst into tears at any moment.
Ye Jin'er frowned.
He looks like...
An old dog that had been abandoned for a long time but finally waited for its owner to come back to find it.
Lu Wangxuan looked as wretched as an old dog.
His suit was a style from several years ago, with the cuffs and joints worn smooth and shiny. It seemed that no matter how carefully the owner maintained it, due to limited financial resources, he could not completely stop the traces left by time.
But he was still dressed up carefully, with a bow tie, pocket square, cufflinks, and his hair was combed meticulously...
But what was he doing just now?
Packing up leftovers...
Ye Jin'er noticed that the old lady was carrying another bag, which contained leftover wedding cigarettes that had been placed on the table but not all of them had been smoked.
This kind of practice is rarely seen outside of rural banquets...
The old lady seemed embarrassed as well, so she hid the bag behind her back, straightened her chest, and looked directly at them, "Who are you? What do you want with Ah Xuan?"
She was also wearing a cheongsam, but the style... I don't know how many years ago it was, the light-colored silk part was a bit yellowed.
It's like a piece of clothing that's been sitting at the bottom of a drawer for many years, waiting for its special occasion, and only today has it been unearthed.
Ye Jin'er had a headache.
Logically speaking, Lu Wangxuan was also present just now. He should have known that Fu Shaochen had come, and he should also know who he was. The old lady should know the same.
But why do these two people in front of me look a little off?
"Mom, don't you recognize him? This is Jing! Jing! He's come back to me. I told you, he wouldn't abandon me!"
Lu Wangxuan was very emotional and talked at length to the old lady.
"Fu Shaojing? You dare to come back?! Look what you've done to my Ah Xuan!"
The old lady was stunned at first, then stared at Fu Shao Chen with her cloudy eyes, and suddenly roared, and even picked up the bag in her hand to hit him.
Zhou Jiawen acted quickly, flicking his prayer beads and wrapping them around the old lady's wrist.
"Boss..." He looked at Ye Jin'er before the other party could make another move.
The boss's brother is also the boss, no problem!
"I do not mind."
So Zhou Jiawen quickly took action and knocked the old lady unconscious. He also thoughtfully picked up the black plastic bag.
Lu Wangxuan acted as if he hadn't seen anything and took another step toward Fu Shaochen.
"Ah Jing, wherever you go, take me with you. I've been waiting for you all this time!"
The more he spoke, the more manic his expression became.
Why did you leave me?
"Why can Shen Qing go with you?"
