Mr. Fu’s Wife Reincarnated - Chapter 17

Chapter 17: Fu Xiting Didn’t Expect Jiang Yi to Say…

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wasn’t it exciting?

It was rare for someone like Fu Xiting, who had not been to Capital University for a hundred years, to be invited by the school leaders for tea today. In the end, before he could drink the tea and get out of the car, he saw his fiancée standing at the entrance of the teaching building with someone. The scene of a young school romance about to develop was especially terrifying.

Guan Qing’s back was drenched in cold sweat.

Fang Chi glanced sideways at Guan Qing, not knowing what to do.

Although he knew that the two of them were engaged, he had not been in the capital for the past few days. What had happened?

However, his master’s honking was indeed chilling.

“Sir?” Guan Qing said shakily.

There was a hint of inquiry in his tone. He was just short of asking if he wanted to go down.

As for Jiang Yi?

Staring at the black Bentley in front of her, she felt that it looked very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before, but she couldn’t remember where.

She and Zuo Fei were both attracted by the car’s horn.

However, it was only for a moment. Seeing that no one got out of the car, she thought that the horn had been honked wrongly.

“Jiang Yi, if you can…”

“Beep beep…”

Before Zuo Fei could finish his sentence, the black Bentley’s horn sounded again.

Continuing like this was undoubtedly a blow to everyone’s mood.

“Go down and invite her in,” Fu Xiting said to Guan Qing.

The coldness was oppressive, making people feel a little reverence.

It was indeed inappropriate for a girl who was already engaged to be hanging around with other boys outside in broad daylight.

It was indeed infuriating that she was still unmoved after giving her a warning.

Jiang Yi stared at the black Bentley, her judging look dissipating when Guan Qing pushed the door open.

Fu Xiting’s name flashed across her mind.

“Miss Jiang, Mr. Fu would like to see you,” Guan Qing said politely.

Jiang Yi’s eyes darkened as she stared at Guan Qing.

Compared to Fu Xiting, she was more willing to spend time with Zuo Fei. At the very least, she did not have to be on guard at all times.

“Then I’ll have to trouble Secretary Guan to inform Mr. Fu. I still have something on later.”

Guan Qing smiled. “Miss Jiang, please don’t make things difficult for me. I’m just a secretary.”

Guan Qing had invited Jiang Yi over twice. The first time was at the school gate. Jiang Yi had probably heard about the engagement from the old master and had heard Fu Xiting’s name. Therefore, when she saw Guan Qing, she was visibly nervous.

Her trembling made Guan Qing unable to bear to scold this girl.

But today, they were both in school, and her tone of rejection was ridiculously familiar.

She looked like she often did this kind of thing in his daily life.

“Secretary Guan, I have the right to refuse, right?”

Guan Qing nodded. “Of course, but as a secretary, my mission is to solve my boss’s problems.”

In other words, my mission today is to invite you over on behalf of Chairman Fu.

The two of them were in a deadlock for a moment. After a few seconds of silence, Jiang Yi suddenly smiled. The moment she flipped her hair sideways, the image of another woman flashed across Guan Qing’s mind. Shock spread throughout his limbs.

“Then Secretary Guan, why don’t you tell me if I’m worried or troubled?”

Guan Qing was slightly stunned. He stood there silently for a few seconds before smiling. “Miss Jiang, you should know that if Chairman Fu wants to see you, he can go to any lengths.”

Others might not understand what he meant.

However, Jiang Yi understood. Since he couldn’t see her in school, he could only see her at home.

Jiang Yi fell silent for a moment, then nodded slightly and strode down the steps.

Zuo Fei stood beside her and grabbed her wrist. “Jiang Yi.”

“Yes?”

When Guan Qing saw this, he frowned slightly.

“You know him?”

“You should have heard of the Chairman Fu he mentioned.” Since Zuo Fei was in the same circle as her, he naturally knew about these things.

He shouldn’t have to ask the obvious now. Jiang Yi should probably know what this person was up to.

Zuo Fei’s shocked eyes lingered on Jiang Yi’s face for a few seconds, and then… he slowly let go.

He watched as Jiang Yi walked towards the black Bentley.

Guan Qing strode forward and was about to open the car door when Jiang Yi reached out her hand.

The hand that had reached out and missed slowly tightened and retracted.

It was a little awkward.

As soon as she got into the car, she smelled the thick smell of smoke in the car. There was a cup of coffee in the back seat. The smell of smoke and coffee were mixed together, making her feel especially uncomfortable. Jiang Yi reached out and rolled down the window.

Fang Chi started the car and left.

Xu Yuan did not even hear Fu Xiting speak when the car drove out.

Jiang Yi sat at the side, still silent.

Awkwardness was felt in the narrow space.

Fu Xiting raised his hand and took a puff of his cigarette. Then, he tapped the ash in the ashtray beside him. “Miss Jiang, don’t forget that you’re already engaged.”

Jiang Yi smiled and looked out of the window without looking away. “President Fu also said that it’s just an engagement. Legally, an engagement is not protected by the country’s laws. We’re still relatively free people. In layman’s terms, an engagement is just an admission ticket to a marriage, but we haven’t finalized it yet. That’s all.”

“President Fu was silent for a long time before saying this. Whether you want to use morality to restrain me or use morality to kidnap me, you’ve miscalculated.”

Guan Qing sat in the front passenger seat. When he heard Jiang Yi’s words, he glanced sideways. His meaning was obvious. Look, I told you this woman had changed! She was simply terrifying.

Fu Xiting obviously did not expect Jiang Yi to say this. His hand that was about to light the cigarette in midair paused. He looked at Jiang Yi for a long time before saying, “You’re twisting words and reasoning.”

Jiang Yi retracted her gaze and stared at Fu Xiting. She imitated his tone and said, “Eating someone’s meal and worrying about the entire world. The Pacific pancake stall should give one to Chairman Fu for free.”

Guan Qing was speechless.

Fang Chi was speechless.

“Miss Jiang’s temperament has really changed a lot.” Fu Xiting was focused on the investigation of Jiang Yi. Everything about her not being competitive to her quiet etiquette was empty talk.

At this moment, was Jiang Yi not fighting back? How was she quiet and polite? They were all empty rumors.

She would be calculative and seek revenge for the smallest grievance.

Jiang Yi could not bear to hear this. Every time someone questioned her like this, her palms would be covered in cold sweat.

She was silent for a moment and stared at Fu Xiting. Her clear eyes were forced to water as she stared at him resentfully. “Does Chairman Fu know me very well? I don’t think so! If I remember correctly, I haven’t seen Chairman Fu before the engagement. What about Chairman Fu? He doesn’t like me or love me, but he dragged an innocent person like me into the struggle of the wealthy families and tortured me. He made me deal with those ruthless people in my best years. Why is Chairman Fu doing this? Why is he tainting his hands with the blood of a young girl?”
