Chapter 35: Please the Living

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The human body had consciousness and memories.

There was a period of time in Jiang Yi’s life when she spent it with the bidder.

Their familiarity with each other could not be described simply with words.

However, she never expected to see him on such an occasion.

Jiang Yi’s entire body trembled. When she suddenly looked sideways at Fu Xiting, she did not have the time to retract the emptiness in her eyes. Fu Xiting caught a glimpse of it.

The man’s eyes narrowed.

He didn’t say anything, but his bid increased.

It seemed to be reminding Jiang Yi not to forget what she had promised him.

“7.2 million,” Jiang Yi called out.

“7.3 million,” the other party called out.

“7.4 million,” Jiang Yi called out.

“7.5 million.”

Just as Jiang Yi was about to bid, Fu Xiting’s hand on her waist suddenly tightened, as if he could not wait to grab a piece of her waist.

The man lowered his eyes slightly and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “It’s not that I don’t have money, Miss Jiang.”

Jiang Yi was struggling.

Her original intention was not to go against the person behind her, but Fu Xiting’s every word was threatening.

“Ten million.”

Jiang Yi slowly raised her card and pushed the price to a new high.

The voice behind her stopped abruptly, and Jiang Yi did not dare to turn around.

He only dared to stare at the host on stage. He watched as he made the final decision. In the end, the emerald fell into Fu Xiting’s hands.

After the auction ended, it was time for the banquet. The group of people moved to the banquet hall.

Jiang Yi held Fu Xiting’s hand and slowly walked forward in a daze.

“Chairman Fu’s reputation as a philanthropist is really well-known.” Lin Qinghe was naturally happy to see an emerald being sold for an astronomical price. He hurriedly came to toast Fu Xiting.

“The title of philanthropist was just given to me by someone else. Why are you making fun of me, Elder Lin?”

“The eyes of the masses are bright. Chairman Fu, you shouldn’t be reserved.”

“However, although Chairman Fu has become a philanthropist, he has to bear the reputation of breaking up a couple.”

“Oh?” Fu Xiting did not seem to understand and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Lin Qinghe looked behind him as if he was looking for someone. “The person who competed with Chairman Fu just now was Jiang Fu’s fiancé. Ever since Negotiator Jiang passed away, Lin Jingzhou has been sorting out Negotiator Jiang’s belongings. Today, Chairman Fu snatched his lover’s item.”

Fu Xiting smiled faintly. “Is that so? I’m really sorry.”

Lin Qinghe and Fu Xiting did not talk for a long time because there was an endless stream of people looking for Fu Xiting.

When they saw the woman beside Fu Xiting, they only nodded. However, what followed was a conversation with Fu Xiting.

“I’m going to the bathroom.”

Jiang Yi’s calm voice sounded beside him. Fu Xiting nodded slowly and let go of her waist.

Jiang Yi left the crowd and went to the washroom.

She sat on the toilet bowl in the bathroom and bent down slightly. She covered her face and digested those emotions.

She originally thought that she could face everything calmly, but reality proved that when those old matters and old friends appeared in front of her, all her emotions would suddenly collapse.

She was utterly defeated.

She wanted to cry, but she couldn’t.

If not for this accident, she and Lin Jingzhou should have been able to enter the marriage hall.

But at this moment, there were no ifs.

If she died, so be it, but she had to let her live like this and watch the people around her suffer.

This kind of torture and torment was even more terrifying than death.

“Who was the one competing with Chairman Fu just now? I don’t think I’ve seen him before.”

“It’s normal that you haven’t seen him before, but he’s a popular person in the translation department. He’s the top international translator and the youngest deputy minister in the presidential translation department.”

“I heard that if Lin Qinghe retires, it will be his turn to rise up.”

“Isn’t Lin Qinghe going to retire this year?”

“That’s why! He’s a star in the sky. Mortals like us can’t see him.”

“Beautiful, gentle, and elegant. He’s quite good-looking.”

“It’s useless even if he’s good looking. His fiancée just passed away.”

“Huh?”

“The international negotiator, Jiang Fu, was his fiancée. She was the last disciple of our professor.”

“Oh my god…”

Jiang Yi sat in the toilet bowl in the bathroom and listened to the girls chatting outside.

The torment and struggle in her heart became stronger and stronger as the two of them conversed.

After a long time, Jiang Yi left the washroom and found Fu Xiting.

The man stared at her with a probing gaze.

It was as if he could see through the forbearance in her eyes at a glance, but he did not say anything. Instead, he turned his gaze back indifferently.

After the banquet ended, Fu Xiting reeked of alcohol.

Jiang Yi stood beside him, no longer as agile as when she first came, but more silent.

“Mr. Fu.”

Just as she was about to get into the car, a black Mercedes-Benz car door beside her was opened.

When the man’s slender figure appeared in front of Jiang Yi, she felt her breathing stop.

She looked at Lin Jingzhou with sparkling eyes.

The man was handsome and had yet to change out of his translation department uniform. His gold-framed eyes were on his high nose bridge, and he looked gentle and warm.

He was different from Fu Xiting.

The auras of businessmen and scholars could be seen at a glance.

“Translator Lin.” Fu Xiting seemed to know him and greeted him with a faint nod.

“I have something to ask Chairman Fu to be magnanimous about,” Lin Jingzhou went straight to the point.

Fu Xiting’s thin lips curled up slightly, as if he did not know what Lin Jingzhou wanted to say.

“The emerald that Chairman Fu bought today is a relic of my fiancée when she was alive. I hope Chairman Fu can be magnanimous and let me have it.”

Fu Xiting looked at Lin Jingzhou and was silent for a moment.

The man held a cigarette in his hand and tapped it lightly in the air. “Logically speaking, it should be fulfilling my wish.”

Although Lin Jingzhou had not interacted much with Fu Xiting, he knew what kind of person Fu Xiting was.

This man had never been soft-hearted when he was dealing with businesses in the business world.

There was no way he would hand over what he had obtained to someone else.

Lin Jingzhou knew that there was a hidden meaning behind his words.

As expected, Fu Xiting glanced sideways at Jiang Yi, who was standing beside him. “But Translator Lin should be able to understand me.”

“I don’t know if this lady will make it happen.”

Jiang Yi’s hands, which were hanging by her side, bent slightly. She did not expect Lin Jingzhou to look at her.

Jiang Yi’s thin lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something.

However, at this moment, Fu Xiting’s cold and heartless voice sounded slightly beside her. “She’s already dead. Translator Lin, why are you doing this?”

“There are so many things in the mortal world. Why does Chairman Fu have to go through so much trouble?”

Clearly, Lin Jingzhou knew something.

And all of this was enough to make Fu Xiting unhappy.

Hence, he tapped the cigarette ash lightly and said in a cold voice, “Translator Lin wants it just to reminisce about the deceased, while I am using it to please the living. Forgive me for not being able to fulfill Translator Lin’s wish.”
