Chapter 23: Go Be a Maggot!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

All these years.

Su Xin had heard many words from crazy fans, such as: No one but Mr. Fu could marry them.

Or, if Mr. Fu did not come to see them, they would die.

Moreover, after knowing her daily purchasing route, they personally blocked her way and begged to see Mr. Fu.

Su Xin had seen too many strange things during her years in Yu Garden.

There were many things that shocked her.

However, this was the first time he had heard that someone wanted to stay away from Mr. Fu.

So much so that Su Xin could not react for a moment.

She stared at Jiang Yi in a daze for a moment.

Until Jiang Yi asked, “Can’t I?”

Su Xin came back to her senses and shook her head slowly. “I’m sorry.”

Jiang Yi did not say anything else and nodded.

“I’m Su Xin. If there’s anything, just call me or press the internal line in the room.”

“The Su Xin Flower was transplanted from the West Country to the South Sea. The people of the South liked its fragrance and planted it everywhere. It has a good name.”

This year, Su Xin was 47 years old, the same age as Yi Tian.

She was not from the same era as Jiang Yi.

Although Su Xin was a housekeeper, she came from a cultured family.

Cultural people in the late 1960s and early 1970s liked to give their children meaningful names.

When she was young, there were many people who could explain her name.

However, the further one went in life, the fewer people could explain it.

There was no one else who could directly explain her name like Jiang Yi.

Su Xin was stunned. Her first reaction was that the girl in front of her must have walked many paths and read many books.

It was very different from what she heard and thought.

Although Su Xin was shocked, she had the professionalism of a butler and nodded slightly. “Help yourself. If you need anything, just let me know.”

After Su Xin left, Jiang Yi stayed in her room and did not go out.

He took his laptop and sat at his desk, flipping through the recent news.

He tossed and turned, but it was still the same.

In the evening, Fu Xiting did not choose to work overtime or socialize. Instead, he returned home early.

His early return caught the servants off guard.

It had probably been a month since they had prepared dinner for the master. Su Xin could not help but secretly praise Miss Jiang in her heart.

“Let them prepare. Wait a moment.” Fu Xiting’s voice was cold and emotionless.

“Is she here yet?”

“She’s here. Mr. Jiang personally sent her here at eight minutes past two in the afternoon.”

Su Xin did not need to think much to know who Mr. Fu was asking.

“What did she do this afternoon?”

“She stayed in his room and never came out.”

“All day?” Fu Xiting didn’t seem to believe it, and his tone rose.

“Yes.” Su Xin nodded slightly.

Fu Xiting was silent for a while. Doubts spread in his chest.

Su Xin stood silently beside him. She only left when Fu Xiting waved his hand.

It was rare for someone who usually returned home at eight or nine o’clock in the evening to arrive home at five o’clock today. The servants were caught off guard.

Although they had doubts, because of the strict system in Yu Garden, no one dared to say anything.

At seven o’clock in the evening, Jiang Yi, who was sitting at her desk, was interrupted by a knock on the door. She reached out to turn off her computer and saw Su Xin push the door open and enter.

“Miss Jiang, dinner is ready.”

“Got it.”

Three to five minutes later, Jiang Yi went downstairs and saw Fu Xiting sitting at the dining table. He was wearing a white shirt and gold-framed glasses for short-sightedness.

When Fu Xiting saw Jiang Yi, he was a little surprised. The person who had her arm in a sling yesterday had actually recovered today.

“Is your arm healed?”

Jiang Yi took the opportunity to sit down when Su Xin pulled out a chair. She said calmly, “Thanks to Mr. Fu, I found an old Chinese doctor to fix it.”

Fu Xiting raised his eyebrows.

Before he could speak, he heard Jiang Yi say, “I want to get better as soon as possible so that Mr. Fu can let me go.”

Fu Xiting stared at Jiang Yi. After a long while, he sneered.

“Wishful thinking.”

This dinner was silent.

Jiang Yi did not like to talk during meals, and Fu Xiting had always been an extremely cold and heartless person. Other than his trusted aides, almost no one knew what he was thinking.

Not only was Jiang Yi not used to it, but Fu Xiting also felt uncomfortable with the sudden appearance of a woman beside him.

The dinner was silent.

After eating, Jiang Yi, who was about to put down her chopsticks, suddenly felt something barge in from the corner of her eye.

Fu Xiting’s American Shorthair jumped onto the chair beside her and stared at her with round eyes.

He looked like he was looking at a pitiful person.

Jiang Yi stared at it for a few seconds before slowly retracting her gaze. She sighed helplessly.

“The night view of Yu Garden is very beautiful. You can let Su Xin accompany you for a walk.”

“Someone broke my wings and wanted to trap me in the name of taking good care of me. If I can still admire the beautiful scenery in such a miserable situation, I’ll really have no heart.”

Fu Xiting smiled nonchalantly. He stood up and reached out to wipe his lips with a tissue. “Miss Jiang, think about it from another perspective. Your situation is always so miserable. If you miss the blooming flowers because of your miserable situation, won’t it make your situation worse?”

Jiang Yi leaned back in her chair and curled her thin lips. “With Mr. Fu’s mentality, he shouldn’t be the president.”

“Then Miss Jiang, explain.”

“If you go to a latrine to be a maggot, you’ll still be a maggot. It’s a waste not to eat the feces in front of you.”

Fu Xiting was speechless.

He only felt that the food he had just eaten instantly felt hard to digest.

Nausea swirled wantonly in his mind.

“Jiang Yi…” The man said coldly and angrily.

Jiang Yi smiled faintly. “Why did Mr. Fu call me?”

“Is this the lady the Jiang family was talking about?” Fu Xiting’s questioning voice was especially conspicuous in the dining room.

When the servants in the room saw that Fu Xiting was angry, they lowered their heads in fear and did not dare to say anything else.

This was because they had never seen their master angry before. Now was the first time.

It was truly rare.

He thought that Miss Jiang would restrain herself, but who knew!!!

She picked up the cup with her right hand and took a sip of water. Her left leg, which had landed on her thigh, seemed to have been immobilized by someone.

However, even if one of her hands was half-crippled, it did not affect her anger.

She curled her lips and said, “As you said, it was the Jiang family who said it. Only a high-intelligence, high-income, and high-ranking person like Mr. Fu would believe the evaluation of me by these people who have never interacted with me. Mr. Fu, if I were you, I would have gone to the police and said that they were scamming, selling fake goods and extorting…”

“Jiang Yi…” He was so angry that he almost burned the roof.

On the other hand, the one triggering him was still sitting there casually. She was peaceful and comfortable.

“Mr. Fu, my arm was injured by your company. Are you trying to silence me with the excuse of letting me recuperate?”

“Or could it be that Mr. Fu’s intention is to torture me? Is taking good care of me a false pretense?”
