Chapter 18: Those Who Don’t Know Would Think Chairman Fu Respects Me

“I don’t think I’ve done anything immoral in my life. In terms of retribution, it’s not enough. I’m indeed unlucky to have met Chairman Fu.”

Jiang Yi’s words entered Fu Xiting and the others’ ears word by word.

“No one told me but it’s not difficult to guess that the Jiang family and Chairman Fu have reached some kind of consensus, and I’ve become your bargaining chip and chess piece. How pitiful am I? It’s already my sorrow to be born into such an inhumane family, but at this moment, I still have to be a sacrifice for you moving forward.”

“Don’t you have any sisters? Don’t you have any women in your family?”

Her complaints were like attacks that directly struck their hearts.

They were neither light nor heavy, but they did have an impact eery time.

Jiang Yi was very good at psychological warfare. If not for this ability, how could she have become a high-ranking negotiator at such a young age?

If not for this ability, how could she be like a fish in water in this industry?

Guan Qing and Fang Chi were both silent for a moment. Jiang Yi’s crying and complaining look was indeed touching.

But Fu Xiting was not one of them.

He tapped his cigarette silently. “Jiang Yi, you’re accusing the wrong person.”

“First of all, the Jiang family has a favor to ask of me first. Secondly, I didn’t appoint you personally. It was your grandfather who pushed you out. Of course, this move had your father’s approval. Moreover, I have the same grievance and sadness as Miss Jiang. I spent money and effort in hopes of finding an obedient wife. Moreover, the Jiang family repeatedly assured me that Miss Jiang is the person I want, so I reluctantly agreed to your father’s request. Now, the real Miss Jiang, who is sitting beside me, makes me feel defeated.”

“According to what Miss Jiang said just now, can I settle the score with the Jiang family?”

Fu Xiting’s words were calm. Like Jiang Yi, his emotions did not fluctuate too much, but every word he said was just right.

Jiang Yi was stunned and her gaze on him cracked inch by inch.

Fu Xiting’s words were undoubtedly saying that everyone was innocent.

“The ancients said that one should know when to advance and when to retreat. The Jiang family’s actions are no different from extortion.”

“I don’t care what happens to the Jiang family, but don’t you think I’m innocent, Mr. Fu?”

“Then Miss Jiang, don’t you think I’ve suffered heavy losses?”

“Please pull over.”

She couldn’t continue talking to such an idiot.

When Fang Chi heard Jiang Yi’s words, he looked at Fu Xiting through the mirror and saw that Fu Xiting had no intention of speaking.

He did not dare to stop. “I’m sorry, Miss Jiang. I can’t park here.”

Jiang Yi’s anger was brewing in his heart. She was unable to calm down.

After a while, the car stopped in front of a private restaurant.

It was noon, and Jiang Yi wanted to eat, but she didn’t expect Fu Xiting to bring her out for a meal.

In the private restaurant, the boss seemed to know Fu Xiting. He greeted him familiarly and nodded at Jiang Yi.

“Same place?”

“There’s no need. A small private room will do.”

The boss nodded and brought Fu Xiting and Jiang Yi into the private room.

Even when Jiang Yi sat down, she could feel this person’s gaze on her.

“Menu?”

“Give it to her.” Fu Xiting reached out to take off his suit jacket and put it on the back of the chair.

The woman in the ancient-style dress was stunned for a moment. She looked at Fu Xiting. In the past, every time he came, he was always casual.

But today, he gave the menu to Jiang Yi, undoubtedly letting her make the decision.

Qin Wan didn’t say anything and handed her the menu. “Do you need any recommendations?”

Jiang Yi could feel this person’s eyes judging her. When she lowered her head to order the dishes, she did not give her any extra glances. “Braised pork balls, three delicacies soup, stir-fried vegetables, and shredded pork with Beijing sauce.”

Qin Wan stared at Jiang Yi in shock. “Miss Jiang, you’ve been here before?”

“No, but I see that you seem very familiar with me.”

Jiang Yi answered her question and asked another question.

The reason why she was certain was that ordinary people could not enter this private restaurant. This private restaurant was famous because of Fu Xiting. Many people who had booked a place for a year might not be able to eat it.

As a university student, Jiang Yi did not have any chance to set foot in this place.

If she was a pampered girl, she would have thought that the old master would bring her here.

This could be further from the truth.

Embarrassment flashed across Qin Wan’s face.

She did not expect to be questioned by a young lady who had not left the school.

She smiled awkwardly. “Mr. Fu rarely brings girls here alone. It’s my first time today. I must be daring to make a guess.”

Daring to guess?

Jiang Yi lowered her head and took a sip of tea from the cup in front of her without saying anything else.

Even if it wasn’t a bold guess, she couldn’t say anything.

A man like Fu Xiting would not bring the same woman to any occasion.

It was not that she had never seen it before.

At the nightclub, the woman he brought with him was dressed scantily and could drink well with that group of people.

In the tea room, he must have chosen a refined woman who was well read and had an elegant temperament.

At the table, any woman beside him had to complement him.

Hence, she did not believe what this person said about being the first one.

Fu Xiting leaned back in his chair and looked at Jiang Yi.

The way she lowered her head to drink water did indeed look a little like before, but it was just a resemblance.

The girl who had almost run away in fright at the engagement banquet had indeed piqued his interest. However, the Jiang Yi in front of him, who was covered in spikes and guarded against him, piqued his interest.

“There’s a banquet next Tuesday that requires Miss Jiang to attend as my fiancée.”

Without looking up, Jiang Yi asked, “Can I refuse?”

“I’m not asking for your opinion.” Fu Xiting picked up the cup and took a sip of water.

Jiang Yi looked up at him. “Then why did you tell me in advance, Mr. Fu? Can’t you just get someone to pick me up when the time comes?”

“If you tell me in advance, people who don’t know might think that Chairman Fu respects me.”

Fu Xiting was speechless.

Without a doubt, he had kicked an iron plate.

Jiang Yi was wary of him as if he was a human trafficker.

“Ha—” The man sneered. “You have a sharp tongue.”

Jiang Yi was stunned. For some reason, she heard a hint of pampering in Fu Xiting’s words.

On the other side, Guan Qing asked as he poured water for Fang Chi, “Has she changed?”

Fang Chi took a sip of water to calm himself down. “Indeed.”

“I still remember how she looked when she wanted to escape from the marriage in a white veil. She was incompetent, and timid. She was nothing like today.”

The more Fang Chi thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss. “Has she been possessed?”

Cold sweat broke out on Guan Qing’s back as he felt a chill run down his spine.

“Not to that extent. We have to be realistic. We can’t believe in ghosts and gods.”

“But she has really changed. I’ve interacted with her a few times in the past and she was submissive. Now, she makes you speechless. Her stubborn look inexplicably makes me feel like she’s very similar to Judge Jiang.”

“Which Judge Jiang?”
