Chapter 31: Zhuang Jing

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It wasn’t that he hadn’t seen all kinds of strange marriages in the current era.

Fu Xiting’s concept of marriage was twisted.

It was not for love, nor was it for benefits. He only wanted to find an obedient wife who would not cause trouble for him.

If these words were to be heard by any ordinary person, no one would be able to accept it.

However, he was Fu Xiting. He did not care if others accepted it or not. He only cared about himself.

The man’s gaze landed on Jiang Yi. Their eyes met, and all his words were unnecessary at this moment.

When Fang Chi opened the car door and entered, he saw that the atmosphere between the two of them was strange.

He shrunk his neck and silently drove to his next destination.

“Can I ask Miss Jiang a question?”

Fu Xiting took the initiative and turned the tables.

Jiang Yi nodded and imitated him. “Why do you want to ask this question?”

“That’s because you don’t want anyone to be a burden to you.”

Jiang Yi said straightforwardly.

Fu Xiting smiled. “Why do you say that?”

“You don’t love me and have no feelings for me. I don’t have an outstanding IQ or an amazing appearance. Mr. Fu chose me among all the outstanding ladies from wealthy families because I’m weak and easy to control. The main reason for all of this is that Mr. Fu doesn’t want to marry a troublemaker and bring her home. Anyone would think that Mr. Fu wasn’t willing to protect me and will only treat me as a burden.”

Fu Xiting listened to Jiang Yi’s analysis and nodded in agreement. “Miss Jiang’s analysis is right, but since Miss Jiang has analyzed it, I will answer seriously.”

“There’s three types of women to a man. The first type is the unpresentable love affair during social events. The second type is a business partner who can be used by me as a knife and be linked to benefits. The third type is a woman who can be married. Among these three types of women, the first type has nothing to do with me. I won’t waste my energy on them. The second type is dependent on the situation. If her predicament is related to my interests, I might be able to help. The third type is like Miss Jiang. Regardless of whether there are benefits or no feelings, I will protect her because your face is my face.”

If you wanted to hear this man say romantic words at this moment, such as “you’re my woman and no one can bully you”, it was really wishful thinking.

Fu Xiting was a realist.

Just like the few situations he had just listed, every one of them was logical.

Jiang Yi smiled. “Mr. Fu, are you so sure that the fourth scenario won’t happen?”

“Such as?” The man raised his eyebrows.

“Someone you love has appeared.”

Fu Xiting sneered and stopped talking.

There was no conversation.

When the air in the car was silent, Fu Xiting was slightly stunned. He did not expect to talk about these realist topics with a student who had not even graduated from university.

Usually, he would only talk about them to people of the same rank as him.

Today, in his life, it was no different from an accident.

In Jiang Yi’s opinion, his laughter was indeed filled with disdain.

He couldn’t be bothered to assume such a situation, nor could he be bothered to talk to her.

Fang Chi drove all the way to Dongting Corporation’s building.

When Fu Xiting got out of the car, Jiang Yi did not move.

“You’re not getting out?”

“This is your company.”

In other words, why did she want to go down?

“My schedule today is very full, and Fang Chi doesn’t have time.” Fu Xiting’s words implied that no one had time to send her back.

Jiang Yi understood the deeper meaning behind Fu Xiting’s words.

Just as he was about to speak, a group of men and women in suits walked out of the elevator. They were either holding computers or documents. They were undoubtedly in a hurry.

Fu Xiting’s gaze on Jiang Yi only lasted for a few seconds.

Immediately after, he went up to talk to the presidents of the Dongting Group.

Jiang Yi wanted to say something, but Fu Xiting had already hurried into the elevator.

“Young Madam…”

As soon as Fang Chi spoke, Jiang Yi was clearly frightened. “What did you call me?”

“Young Madam.” Fang Chi’s words were firm but Jiang Yi was not.

She was confused by the words ‘young madam’.

He stared at Fang Chi and forgot to speak for a moment.

“I’m going to the airport to pick up foreign businessmen for Chairman Fu later, and Guan Qing is handling the follow-up matters at Capital University. Do you want to go to Chairman Fu’s office?”

Jiang Yi pursed her thin lips tightly, clearly unwilling.

She was not prepared to accept Fang Chi’s suggestion.

When Fang Chi saw that Jiang Yi was silent, he looked at his watch and urged, “Look…”

Jiang Yi nodded with an unpleasant expression and walked towards the elevator.

Fang Chi personally sent her to the door of Fu Xiting’s office.

He even reached out and pushed the door open.

When the office door was pushed open, the argument and noise inside stopped abruptly.

Obviously, Jiang Yi’s arrival shocked everyone.

Fu Xiting saw Jiang Yi standing at the door and asked someone from the secretary’s office to send Jiang Yi to his private meeting room.

Although the secretary was puzzled, he did not say what it was.

“This way, please.”

After the secretary settled Jiang Yi down, she walked out of the reception room and saw Fang Chi coming out of the office. He grabbed her and said, “Guard Fang, that girl just now was…”

“Don’t you have a guess?” Fang Chi asked.

“You said it was the eldest daughter of the Jiang family? But it doesn’t look like it to me!”

It wasn’t that Jiang Yi hadn’t been to Dongting Group before, but the last time they met seemed to be worlds apart from this time.

The first time, she saw Jiang Yi with her back bent and her head lowered. No one could see her true appearance.

But now,that girl had a straight back and exuded youthful vitality. She couldn’t link the two of them together.

Fang Chi was in a hurry and did not have time to say anything.

The person who walked to the elevator suddenly called out, “Zhuang Jing.”

“Is something wrong?”

Fang Chi froze for a moment and pursed his lips. “I’m fine.”

In the lounge, Jiang Yi sat on the sofa. Her thoughts had long flown out of her mind. She did not even feel that Zhuang Jing had returned.

“Miss Jiang, here are some tea and snacks. If you need anything, you can open the door and call me.”

“I’m Mr. Fu’s special assistant, Zhuang Jing.”

Had Jiang Yi heard of Zhuang Jing’s reputation?

Yes.

She often heard people in the business world talking about the two jackals of the Dongting Group.

The first was Guan Qing. His tactfulness was admirable.

Secondly, there was Zhuang Jing. He had always been successful at entertaining people. He had no abnormality after drinking five catties of white wine.

No one knew this person’s exact alcohol tolerance.

Most of the veterans at the social gathering did not dare to create any noise when they heard the words ‘Zhuang Jing’.

It was all because this woman had the ability to force people into the hospital.

Jiang Yi looked at Zhuang Jing and nodded. “Thank you.”
