Mr. Fu’s Wife Reincarnated - Chapter 24

Chapter 24: You Have No Choice

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When was the first time Su Xin had seen her master so forbearing?

It was probably many years ago when Old Madam Fu had begged him to do something out of morality and not his interests.

At that time, he endured it in all ways, and the anger in his body almost soared to the sky.

However, he still chose to extinguish his anger after all the considerations.

Today, he was restraining himself.

In essence, Fu Xiting was not a person who would reveal his true nature so easily.

Growing up, he was shaped into a man of restraint.

It was not an exaggeration to describe it as a self-defeating gift.

His anger swirled in his chest for a long time before finally settling down.

Jiang Yi’s carelessness was a stark contrast to Fu Xiting’s coldness. “Whether I want to trap you and torture you, or want to take good care of you, you have no other choice. Jiang Yi, if I were you, I would be smarter.”

“But I’m not you, Mr. Fu,” Jiang Yi said word by word with his back facing Fu Xiting.

Her cold tone was comparable to Fu Xiting’s.

Mr. Fu gritted his teeth.

With Fu Xiting’s status, he was someone who had to time his travels between major international venues.

At this moment, Jiang Yi naturally didn’t want to waste too much time.

If it was Jiang Fu in the past, he might be willing to waste some time sparring with her.

“Take good care of Miss Jiang.”

“Yes.” Su Xin knew that even if her master did not call out her name, she knew that these words were directed at her.

Jiang Yi sat on the chair for a long time.

Su Xin, on the other hand, stood silently at the side. She did not urge him or say anything.

She was like a silent robot.

Su Xin had always treated Jiang Yi as a guest.

She had mastered the art of hospitality.

This was also the reason why she could stay by Fu Xiting’s side for so many years.

In Su Xin’s eyes, when Jiang Yi was silent, she was an extremely calm person. Although this woman’s face revealed her childishness, her eyes gave people the feeling that she had seen through all living things. Her upright posture could not be faked. Most of it came from her bones.

She was a combination of contradictions.

She was 21 years old, but seemed to have experienced the vicissitudes of life.

On this day, Jiang Yi left the restaurant and went to the courtyard. She did not go far.

Walking along the cobbled path in the garden, the peonies were in full bloom in May.

Jiang Yi stood in front of the peonies and fell into deep thought.

A friend once pointed at a wild peony and said to her, “Do you know? The first time I saw you, I felt that you were very similar to it. You don’t have many friends, but you’re still arrogant and independent.”

The corners of Jiang Yi’s lips curled up. Her smile was neither deep nor shallow, but it carried a hint of desolation.

In the study on the second floor, the man was standing by the window, answering a call.

When his gaze locked onto the person standing at the bottom of the building, he raised her hand to smoke and paused.

Jiang Fu?

Fu Xiting hurriedly pushed open the window. When he took a closer look, it was Jiang Yi.

This scene happened in Yu Garden two weeks ago.

The international negotiator, Jiang Fu, was invited to Yu Garden as a guest. During the interval, he received a call. Jiang Fu strolled around the courtyard and stood there, staring at the flowers in a daze.

In an instant, Fu Xiting felt that the two of them were extremely similar.

The man threw the cigarettes in his hand into the ashtray and rubbed the space between his eyebrows.

Exhaustion surged from the bottom of his heart.

When he looked carefully again, Jiang Yi had already squatted down.

Glutinous Ball squatted at her feet and used its claws to pull her knees.

She was squatting and talking to the cat.

The cat responded to her.

The strange and horrifying scene made Fu Xiting stare at her.

The gaze was too direct and she did not avoid it. Jiang Yi looked back slightly and met his eyes.

What about Fu Xiting?

He did not avoid her at all.

What was the saying?

Only true lovers would be shy.

If she didn’t love him, she would be magnanimous.

Jiang Yi curled her lips and slowly retracted her gaze.

Jiang Yi was having a hard time in Yu Garden, and the Jiang family was in an uproar.

Yi Tian was so angry that her face and neck turned red. After a round of arguing, she sat on the sofa and wiped her tears.

Jiang Ze sat opposite, elbows on his knees, covering his face.

His face was filled with grief.

“Go and fetch Yiyi tomorrow.”

“Fu Xiting won’t agree,” Jiang Ze said helplessly.

“How can Fu Xiting hold my daughter down and not let her go? Who is he?”

“He’s not much but the lifeline of most of the aristocratic families in the capital is in his hands.” Jiang Ze did not speak in an aggressive tone, nor did he deliberately express anything. Just a calm sentence made Yi Tian fall silent.

On her third day in Yu Garden, Jiang Yi felt extremely bored. If it weren’t for the cat accompanying her, she would probably be depressed.

On the fourth day, she sat at the dining table early in the morning and said to Fu Xiting, “I should go back to school for class.”

Fu Xiting did not deliberately make things difficult for her. “Let Su Xin arrange for a driver.”

He was very busy.

He left early in the morning and returned late at night. He barely saw anyone.

Other than dinner on the first night, Jiang Yi had not seen anyone for a few days.

Only the sound of a car engine in the yard at midnight could prove that he had been back.

The next morning, she might get a slim chance to be able to see him at the dining table.

“Tomorrow night, Miss Jiang. Don’t forget.”

After Fu Xiting finished speaking, he took the towel from the servant and wiped his hands. Then, he turned around and left the dining room.

On May 17th, two weeks had passed since the incident.

Jiang Yi gradually walked out of the uncontrollable sense of powerlessness.

This morning, she went to class. Before she walked in, she saw that the corridor was crowded.

All of them were discussing something.

“Fu Xiting has a speech at the School of Economics tomorrow morning?”

“What’s the background of the School of Economics? The big shots they invite every time are so awesome.”

“They’ve invited half the country’s bigshots.”

“I heard that Fu Xiting is engaged to a girl from our school.”

“How do you know?”

“It’s not a secret. It was on the news at the time.”

“When? Why didn’t I know?”

After that person’s words, the crowd instantly exploded.

Jiang Yi stepped back at the right time.

She was afraid that she would be surrounded later.

“Jiang Yi…” Zuo Fei’s voice came from behind.

“You’re taking international relations?”

Jiang Yi nodded.

“Me too. Let’s go together?”

“If I say no, will you take a detour?”

Jiang Yi asked coldly.

Zuo Fei smiled faintly and shook his head. “That’s unlikely. Auntie Yi asked me to take care of you.”

Zuo Fei’s mother and Yi Tian had been good friends for many years. The two of them would get together from time to time. Jiang Yi had known about this a few days ago.

She wouldn’t be too surprised.

The youth beside him was high-spirited and energetic.

If it was many years ago, he might have been the type she liked.

But at this moment…

Jiang Yi felt that she was too old.

“Are you going to attend Mr. Fu’s speech tomorrow?”
