Chapter 27: Fu Xiting Hugged Her Waist

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Fu Xiting had never been a person who would take the initiative to get close to women. It was probably because the environment and position he had been in for so many years gave him the right to be infinitely arrogant.

Although he was a little stunned by Jiang Yi’s treatment, his good knowledge and experience did not make him too conflicted.

He thought that Jiang Yi was just one of the many girls in his heart. There was no difference.

His original intention was the same. He gave the Jiang family benefits, and the Jiang family would marry their daughter to him. It was mutually beneficial. That was all.

However, at the dining table today, Jiang Yi had refreshed his understanding of the children of wealthy families.

It was a Chinese-style dinner. There was a variety of meat and vegetables on different colored plates.

Jiang Yi had been in the negotiating field all these years. She had eaten everything from state banquets to roadside stalls. As long as the food wasn’t too trashy, she could eat it.

After having many experiences, she did not care much about the food that she saw on a daily basis.

Glutinous Ball seemed to have become her playmate. During dinner, it squatted beside her and looked at her eagerly.

Jiang Yi pushed the pan-fried codfish on the plate in front of her and threw it to Glutinous Ball under Su Xin and Fu Xiting’s shock.

As for Glutinous Ball, it ran away with it in its mouth.

“Miss Jiang, pet cats can’t eat human food.”

Jiang Yi was stunned. She looked at Su Xin and blinked. “Then what should we do?”

Su Xin looked worriedly at Fu Xiting’s expression. Although his expression was dark, she could not tell what he was thinking.

“Miss Jiang, do you know how many people in this world starve to death because they don’t have enough to eat?”

Jiang Yi looked up at Fu Xiting and said steadily, “According to the 2002 survey, there are 840 million people in the world who don’t have enough to eat. Every day, 25,000 people die of hunger directly or indirectly. Two-thirds of them are young children. Is that the number, Mr. Fu?”

Fu Xiting was speechless.

His original intention was to let Jiang Yi do something about it, but Jiang Yi did not seem to be prepared to give him this opportunity.

The conversation stopped abruptly. Fu Xiting held his chopsticks and looked at Jiang Yi. The depth in his eyes could not be seen.

What was the saying? She had predicted his prediction.

“Miss Jiang seems to like to disagree with me.”

“Most people don’t have much patience for people and things they don’t like. Mr. Fu treats me the same, doesn’t he?”

“Miss Jiang’s glib tongue is enough to be best friends with the auntie from the neighborhood committee.”

“Mr. Fu’s nitpicking skills can also be used to sell fish at the market.”

The two of them exchanged blows, neither giving in to the other.

Su Xin was terrified as she looked at Jiang Yi and Fu Xiting, her fingertips trembling.

“There’s something I’m curious about.”

Jiang Yi raised her doubts and didn’t care if Fu Xiting wanted to answer or not. She said directly, “In order to save the Fu family, I was knocked down by someone from Dongting Corporation. Firstly, I didn’t receive any thanks, secondly, that person didn’t apologize, and I was even half-imprisoned. Why is that?”

The way Fu Xiting stared at Jiang Yi could no longer be described as profound. Su Xin probably did not expect Jiang Yi to be so bold.

His palms that were hanging by his side were covered in layers of sweat.

“Miss Jiang, don’t you know? It’s because you’re weak. Weaklings don’t have the right to negotiate.”

The coldness in Jiang Yi’s eyes could hardly be concealed. She slowly lowered her head at the moment when the embankment was about to burst.

From Su Xin’s point of view, Jiang Yi was on the verge of courting death.

Although Mr. Fu did not have a good tone, he gave in again and again.

At night, Fu Xiting entered the study.

Jiang Yi went to the courtyard.

The two of them were like parallel lines living under the same roof. Neither of them disturbed the other.

When Guan Qing came in with the documents, he saw Fu Xiting standing by the study window and looking at the courtyard downstairs. He was a little curious, but he did not walk in.

He coughed lightly. “Chairman Fu, regarding the questions for tomorrow’s speech at Capital University.”

“Leave it!” The man’s tone was indifferent.

Guan Qing stood behind him in silence for a moment, wondering if he should tell Fu Xiting what he had seen today.

“Anything else?”

“No, then I’ll take my leave first.” In the end, Guan Qing chose not to speak.

Downstairs, Jiang Yi was browsing the forums of Capital University on her phone while taking a stroll.

Unintentionally, she saw a post that attracted her attention.

[Doesn’t she have depression?]

At the bottom was a screenshot of a social media platform.

Jiang Yi clicked on the photo. The account user name was Jiang Yi and she had posted a photo of various antidepressants.

[No way? She doesn’t look like it. Recently, she has been answering questions in Professor Lin’s classes. She looks radiant.]

[Has she recovered from her depression?]

[I don’t know. I heard that Mr. Fu is her fiancé.]

[Are you serious?]

The day before Fu Xiting went to the Capital University to give a speech, Jiang Yi was exposed online.

On Capital University’s forum, just the title of Dongting Group’s Fu Xiting’s fiancée was enough to make her the target of public criticism.

Dongting Group’s Fu Xiting was a legend in the business world. Moreover, this man was well known in the business world of various countries. He had boldly and decisively modified the villages in the capital city, established the CBD business district, and brought in the world’s top companies… Any one of these achievements would be admirable.

He was a high and mighty god, an object of admiration for the students.

Jiang Yi, a mortal, had actually pulled the god from the Nine Heavens down to the mortal world.

In the eyes of the crowd, this was a serious crime.

Meow— A miserable meow brought her back to reality.

When Jiang Yi shifted her gaze away from the phone, she saw the silly cat standing in the ditch with its round head looking at her.

Jiang Yi fell silent.

She stared at the cat for a long time. “Meow louder and ask Fu Xiting to save you. You’re his cat.”

Meow—

Jiang Yi sighed. She had already cursed Fu Xiting a million times in her heart. She rolled up her sleeves and squatted down to hold the cat.

“He even said that I’m here to recuperate. Ever since I met that bastard, I haven’t had a good time.”

“Jiang Yi, what are you doing?”

Just as Jiang Yi finished scolding him, a sudden question came from above.

Jiang Yi squatted on the ground and looked up at Fu Xiting. She pursed her lips in anger. “I’m not full yet. I want to dig out food from a smelly ditch, okay?”

Fu Xiting was speechless.

“Do you want me to send you to the latrine? You would have a wider selection.”

After several confrontations with Jiang Yi, Fu Xiting had more or less figured out this person’s personality.

It was true that she was eloquent, but it was also true that she was childish.

Fu Xiting stepped back slightly, as if he despised Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi was instantly enraged. She suddenly stood up, and her low blood sugar made her entire body sway.

When she reached out to support herself against the tree at the side, a broad and strong palm wrapped around her waist.
