Chapter 40: He Said: Not Stupid

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Have they left? In the study room, the man’s tone was indifferent.

“They’re gone,” Guan Qing replied.

He hesitated for a moment, looked at Fu Xiting, and said, “The Jiang family…”

“Don’t worry about it for now. They know what to do.”

Guan Qing knew that Fu Xiting was angry.

He did not know the cause of the matter.

However, Fu Xiting’s actions undoubtedly made Guan Qing overthink. Why did he force Jiang Yi like this? He could ignore what the Jiang family did, but what did Jiang Yi’s life have to do with him?

But at this moment, the person gathered the Jiang family in Yu Garden and stood in the courtyard. He asked Jiang Ze with a cold and indifferent voice, forcing him to give an answer!

Could it be that he just wanted an answer?

It was not necessarily true. No matter from which angle Guan Qing looked at it, he could tell that Fu Xiting did it on purpose.

He wanted Jiang Yi to hear the answer.

“I have some doubts,” Guan Qing stood behind Fu Xiting and said tentatively.

Fu Xiting hummed faintly. “Go ahead.”

“Sir, are you doing this today to let Miss Jiang see reality?”

Fu Xiting’s heart wavered for a second when his thoughts were seen through.

When he saw Jiang Yi squatting in the kitchen and wailing yesterday, he interferred even though he was usually cold.

The girl’s helpless and indignant cries touched him, and this was only because she had been helpless for a period of time in her life.

He wanted to save her.

Fu Xiting nodded slightly. “I guess so!”

The man reached out and tapped the ash on the flowerpot on the balcony.

Although Guan Qing had already thought of it, he was still a little stunned when he heard it from him.

“Send Jiang Yi back to the Jiang family.”

Guan Qing was shocked. He had been by Fu Xiting’s side for more than six years. In these six years, he had witnessed all of Fu Xiting’s methods and accompanied him through life and important times. No matter which direction he looked at it from, this man was not a person who cared about trivial matters but he was different with Jiang Yi.

Guan Qing saw an exception.

Even when his mother begged him, he was indifferent. Today, Fu Xiting’s heartstrings were moved by Jiang Yi.

He was so moved that he did not feel anything.

Jiang Yi was sitting at the entrance of Yu Garden when footsteps came from behind.

After the Jiang family left, she sat on the stone steps. The cat squatted beside her, as if it had already become her good friend.

Guan Qing looked at her back and felt that this girl’s back view was a little different from ordinary people’s.

Su Xin stood guard behind him and did not say a word.

Guan Qing stopped in his tracks. He looked back and stretched out his hand. Fu Xiting was leaning against the railing, looking at him without any emotion.

He hesitated.

Fu Xiting’s gaze drove him forward.

Guan Qing walked closer and stood behind Jiang Yi. He covered his mouth and coughed slightly. “Miss Jiang, Mr. Fu asked me to send you back to Jiangnan Garden.”

Jiang Yi looked back at Guan Qing, her eyes a little dazed. After a few seconds of silence, she said calmly, “Got it.”

She stood up from the steps and prepared to get up.

However, as she had been sitting for too long, his her legs were a little numb. She could not help but stagger.

Guan Qing and Su Xin, who were standing next to her, quickly stepped forward and helped her up.

She nodded lightly. “Thank you.”

Jiang Yi felt that she was in a difficult situation and had no one to rely on.

It seemed like her family was pushing her into a corner, and none of them could be trusted.

Human love was selfish.

Yi Tian was no exception.

When she packed her things and left, she did not see Fu Xiting, but she roughly knew that her was in the study.

When she was Jiang Fu, she had some respect for Fu Xiting and also some precautions.

What she admired was that this man had reached the peak at the age of 30 and became a tycoon at such a young age.

She was on guard against this man’s heart. If they were to fight, she would fall into a trap if she was not careful.

Today, Fu Xiting wanted her to see reality clearly.

How could she not know?

Before getting into the car, she looked at Guan Qing. “Just let the driver send you there. Please thank Mr. Fu for me, Secretary Guan.”

Guan Qing watched the car’s tail lights drive away and only recovered from his shock when they disappeared.

He had seen many girls in their early twenties around alcohol or interns in the company. These people had their strengths and weaknesses. However, there were not many people like Jiang Yi who could see through Mr. Fu’s intentions.

If there really was such a person in Dongting, Guan Qing would definitely accept this person as his disciple to take over his position.

The heart of a ruler was unpredictable, but she understood.

After Jiang Yi left, Guan Qing conveyed her words to him. Fu Xiting’s lips curled up slightly as he muttered, “She’s not stupid.”

Fu Xiting’s gaze was exceptionally sharp.

Which Vice President of Dongting Group wasn’t personally supported by him?

And which one of these people was not sincerely convinced by him?

Wasn’t the reason why he helped Jiang Yi because he saw something in her?

On this day, the Jiang family returned to Jiangnan Garden without saying a word.

It was as if no words could describe their current feelings.

Silence began to spread in the room. Everyone had become criminals, including Yi Tian.

When Jiang Yi returned, shock flashed across Jiang Ze’s eyes.

He hurriedly stood up from the chair and looked at her. He wanted to say something but hesitated.

When Jiang Yi saw him like this, she wondered what would happen if Jiang Yi was still alive and knew the truth.

Or had she known the truth all along and chosen to end her own life?

She went upstairs after greeting them.

The next afternoon, Yi Tian did not knock on her door.

When she went out, she saw Yi Tian’s slightly swollen eyes and her apologetic expression.

Jiang Yi met Fu Xiting again a week later at the Dongting Group and Six Countries Meeting.

When the car stopped in Capital University’s campus, Guan Qing got out before Jiang Yi could react.

He invited her to the car.

As soon as Jiang Yi walked in, she heard Fu Xiting talking to the person on the other side in fluent French. His words were 30% serious and 70% casual.

The man held a cigarette between his fingers. When he saw her coming in, he glanced sideways at her and started to pick up the phone again. The smell of smoke in the car made Jiang Yi’s throat feel uncomfortable. She suppressed her cough and reached out to lower the car window slightly.

When Fu Xiting saw this, he quietly pressed the cigarette into the ashtray.

This call was extremely long.

Fu Xiting only hung up when the car was about to reach Yu Garden.

“I promised Miss Jiang that I would bring you to the Dongting and Six Countries Meeting. I wonder if Miss Jiang still remembers it.”

The man returned to his usual cold self.

His tone was polite and cold.

Jiang Yi nodded slowly. “I remember.”

The man looked down at his watch. “One hour. We leave at six sharp.”

Although Fu Xiting did not say it explicitly, Jiang Yi knew that this hour was for her to put on makeup.
