I have ten trillion licking dog gold

Chapter 1830 Each on its own

Even if Boss Jiang were to return quietly, it wouldn't have caused such a strong impact on his childhood friends, since Boss Jiang has always been low-key and down-to-earth.

But his girlfriend...

"Do you know his girlfriend?"

After regaining his senses, Tie Jun urgently asked Fu Zili.

"I've met you!"

Fu Zili nodded, his face beaming. "A few years ago when I went to Donghai, Jiang Chen took her out to dinner once. Jiang Chen hadn't graduated yet, and Fang Qing was there too."

It must be admitted that President Fu's memory is truly remarkable; he hasn't forgotten me even after only meeting me once.

Tie Jun's mind was buzzing, and at the same time, he had a sudden realization.

No wonder they acted so familiar when they came into the store, even saying "A friend has come from afar."

It's no wonder he's blind.

Fu Zili had been to the East China Sea, but he had never met anyone there, nor had he even seen any photos of them.

Embarrassed.

I panicked and became flustered.

I'm at a loss.

"How to do?"

He asked it without thinking.

"How would I know what to do?"

As he spoke, Fu Zili, who was facing the shop door, moved to the side, using Tie Jun and his wife to block his way. Even though he was a respected figure on the battlefield, he was actually playing hide-and-seek.

"Everyone's already inside, do you think you can escape?"

Tie Jun couldn't help but chuckle, trying to find humor in the situation. "You've already met them, why don't you go in and say hello?"

Fu Zili said irritably, "Go to hell."

"Brother Zili, are you sure you haven't mistaken someone for someone else? It's been so long, could it just be that they look alike?"

Wen Rong probed, knowing full well how complicated the situation would be if that person were to arrive, and how difficult it would be for her husband and his friends, who were childhood friends of Qing Gege and Jiang Chen.

Fu Zili hesitated. To be honest, even after several years, he still wasn't 100% sure.

"It must be her."

Who knew that Tie Jun would actually speak up.

"how do you know?"

Fu Zili had a question.

“When she came in just now, I chatted with her for a few minutes, and I immediately felt something was off. Even though we had never met before, she acted as if she knew me.”

Because of the two grown men's behavior, Wen Rong didn't dare to turn around. "Did she come alone?"

She said she was waiting for a friend.

Tie Jun pondered for a moment, then took a deep breath. "If I'm not mistaken, the friend she's waiting for is Fang Qing."

At the same time, Tie Jun's gaze fell on Fu Zili, "And you too."

Fu Zili's lips twitched, and he even considered turning around and leaving.

what is this?
The legendary battleground.

The question is, how did he get involved?
Fu Zili, who was chatting and laughing in the highest echelons of power in Shacheng, was now in a complete mess. "What is Princess Qing doing? I didn't offend her, did I?"

Although it was inappropriate, Wen Rong couldn't help but laugh out loud and quickly covered her mouth.

Tie Jun didn't say anything, but turned to his wife and said, "You go to work first."

"Then you..."

Wen Rong's eyes showed worry.

"It's okay."

Tie Jun smiled easily, "We'll deal with whatever comes our way. She's Shacheng's 'wife,' we'll get her sooner or later."

Fu Zili glanced at him, then remained silent.

"Okay, I'll be going now."

Wen Rong nodded, then looked at Fu Zili and encouraged him, "Brother Zili, relax."

Fu Zili forced a smile, "You go to your job, don't worry about us."

Wen Rong stepped down the stairs and walked a distance before turning back to look at the shop entrance. Two grown men were standing there, looking at each other speechlessly.

"Ugh……"

Even outsiders are like this.

Not to mention those involved.

Wen Rong withdrew her gaze and walked forward.

After Wen Rong left, Fu Zili nudged Tie Jun's arm.

The two moved to the side, away from the main entrance, so that they could not be seen from inside, and they could not be seen from inside either.

"You can't say what you just said when Fang Qing comes."

Fu Zili took out a 1916 from his pocket, knocked out a cigarette, and didn't ask Tie Jun, who had already quit.

"What?"

Fu Zili put a cigarette in his mouth, lit it with a diesel lighter, took a deep drag, and exhaled the smoke along with his words, "Shacheng's wife."

"Qing Gege's mental fortitude is not as poor as ours."

Tie Jun made a self-deprecating remark.

Fu Zili's lips twitched as he gripped his cigarette holder. "What do you think Fang Qing was thinking? You got married, and Jiang Chen didn't even bring her home, and now..."

"Princess Qing's vision is far greater than that of us ordinary mortals."

Tie Jun interrupted with a sigh.

Fu Zili remained silent, frowning, puffing on his cigarette, deep in thought, but still unwilling to get involved in this mess.

"Junzi, let's make a deal."

"No way."

Fu Zili was both amused and exasperated. "I haven't even said anything yet."

"What storms haven't you weathered, Mr. Fu? You're scared by this kind of scene? You want to run away?"

"Come on."

Fu Zili scoffed, "This is your shop, you can't run away, otherwise you would have run away long ago."

"Haha."

Tie Jun couldn't help but laugh heartily, patting his injured right leg, "I have trouble walking."

Fu Zili looked at his legs and laughed out loud. He took a drag of his cigarette and said in a deep voice, "This matter is really a bit difficult to handle."

Tie Jun also composed himself, "Didn't you experience the same thing a few years ago?"

"Can those times be compared to now?"

Nicotine travels through the trachea to the lungs. Fu Zili's expression was serious and earnest. "Back then, they hadn't graduated yet; they were still students, and their future development was full of possibilities. But now, I'm almost thirty, and they're almost thirty too."

After listening, Tie Jun remained silent for a long while. "You still hope that Princess Qing and Jiang Chen will get together?"

"shit."

Fu Zili laughed and scolded, his smile arrogant, "Don't you want it? Didn't you see how they looked on stage at your wedding? You dare say it wasn't beautiful?"

Tie Jun remained noncommittal, watching the traffic coming and going on the road, "Even TV shows rarely have happy endings, let alone real life."

"how?"

Fu Zili flicked off some cigarette ash. "Getting married has turned you into a realist?"

Tie Jun shook his head. "Since you brought her to see us, you should know what Qing Gege's attitude is."

Fu Zili remained silent.

Yes.

Given Fang Qing's personality, how could she possibly make things difficult for them?

Fu Zili exhaled a long puff of smoke, "She used to only make things difficult for Jiang Chen, but now she only makes things difficult for herself."

"Does he still have feelings for Princess Qing?"

"Screw you!"

Fu Zili raised his foot and gently kicked him in the left leg.

"I'm telling you, I'm disabled, or I'll just lie down on the ground."

"I now completely treat her like a younger sister."

"I don't believe you, unless you get married someday, then I'll believe you."

Tie Jun said in a serious tone.

Fu Zili laughed and threw his cigarette butt on the ground. "Believe it or not, it's up to you. I don't care if you believe it or not."

"I'm getting anxious."

"I……"

They're all people of status in Shacheng, yet they're still playing around at the entrance like they were kids.

What are you two doing?

The Maserati was parked right behind the Koenigsegg, so close! They weren't even worried about hitting it; the insurance company must be terrified.

"Hehe, just exercising."

Turning his head and seeing Fang Qing arrive, Fu Zili immediately adjusted his expression and seriously twisted his shoulders.

"Princess Qing, you informed President Fu, why didn't you tell me?"

Tie Jun looked displeased. "Is this preferential treatment?"

Fu Zili said irritably, "Every time Princess Qing treats you, it's always at your shop. She's been supporting you so much, what more do you want?"

"When did I say I was treating?"

Fang Qing put her hands in her coat pockets and stepped onto the stairs.

"Then who's treating?" Whoever organizes the gathering pays the bill—that's the rule of the underworld, so Fu Zili's question was perfectly valid.

"Just arrived?"

Fang Qing asked.

"correct."

Fu Zili nodded naturally, without batting an eye. "When I arrived, I happened to run into Wen Rong on her way to work, so I chatted with the couple for a while and even had a cigarette with them."

As he spoke, he kicked a cigarette butt on the ground.

"You're such a big boss, can't you have any public spirit? If this gets filmed, you'll be cyberbullied."

As expected of best friends who have played together since they were little, the two cooperated perfectly. They didn't need to rehearse beforehand. Their performance was flawless, and even a legal elite like Fang Qing couldn't find any flaws.

"Let me introduce you to someone."

Fang Qing looked at Tie Jun.

"Who is it?" Fu Zili asked quickly.

"Qing Gege was asking me."

Tie Jun, seemingly jealous, then asked, "Who is it?"

Fu Zili looked both amused and exasperated.

It turns out that people tend to group together based on their similarities.

They're all such drama queens.

"Li Shurui".

"..."

Princess Qing is still gentle. It's like unwrapping a gift; she doesn't wait for them to open the package to find out it's a bomb, but rather informs them in advance that there is a bomb inside.

Who is Li Shurui?

Tie Jun asked, puzzled. It was fine for him to ask, since he had never seen her before. But the key was that Fu Zili was not to be outdone and didn't want him to steal the spotlight, so he quickly followed up with a copy-paste: "Yeah, who is Li Shurui?"

Fang Qing's gaze shifted to Fu Zili's face. "Think about it carefully."

Fu Zili frowned slightly, pretending to be deep in thought, "I know him?"

Pity.

If he had been born earlier, and smuggled himself to Hong Kong during the golden age of Hong Kong films, he might have become a powerful figure in the entertainment industry.

Tie Jun muttered to himself.

"You've met Jiang Chen's girlfriend before."

Fang Qing didn't keep them in suspense.

"what?!"

Fu Zili's eyes widened, vividly portraying the word "shock," and he even involuntarily took a step back.

Were you serious about taking half a step back? Such a small movement can cause so much damage...

Even Tie Jun (a nickname for a popular military unit) wanted to create background music for him.

"Are you kidding me?"

Fu Zili stared intently at Fang Qing, incredulous, bewildered, and incomprehensible.

"She should be inside."

"what?"

All right.

How can we let one person steal the spotlight while it's Tie Jun's turn to perform and not do his job properly?

"Really? I didn't see it?"

"You've never even seen them before, what kind of ghost are you seeing? You wouldn't recognize them even if they were standing right in front of you."

You can learn from it.

What does cooperation mean?

"...Could it be her?"

Tie Jun seemed to be enlightened and recounted to the two of them: "Around six o'clock, a beautiful woman was the first to enter the store. When I asked her how many people were in her party, she said she didn't know and only said that she was waiting for a friend. I even chatted with her for a while."

"Yes, it's her."

Fang Qing nodded.

"I suddenly remembered that I have something urgent to attend to..."

Fang Qing said calmly, "You went to the East China Sea and they treated you well. Now that you're on your turf, are you going to avoid them?"

Fu Zili was immediately unable to move.

Tie Jun did not kick them while they were down; in this situation, the two brothers were in the same predicament.

Where is Jiang Chen?

Tie Jun asked.

"He didn't come back."

"She came alone?"

"I brought her with me."

Fang Qing answered whatever came to mind.

"You brought her back."

Fu Zili repeated, his expression strange, his inner thoughts even more complicated.

"We'll meet sooner or later, won't we?" Fang Qing smiled.

Tie Jun remained silent, only glancing repeatedly at Fu Zili.

Fu Zili really wanted to say: What are you looking at? But what could he do? He was the "big brother" of the small gang.

After hesitating several times, Fu Zili finally asked, "Does Jiang Chen know?"

"I do not know."

"You don't know what that means."

“I didn’t tell him. As for whether Li Shurui told him or not, I don’t know. We had a fight.”

Qinggege truly treated her childhood friends with honesty and sincerity.

"Did you two have a fight?"

Fu Zili was surprised; this time it wasn't an act.

Tie Jun also looked at Qing Gege in surprise.

It was common for these two to quarrel, and it wouldn't be surprising if they even got into a fight, but that was a long, long time ago.

"To be precise, I broke off all contact with him."

"..."

He's stunned again.

Now that we're all adults, the words "break up" don't carry the same weight as they used to, and can't be uttered so casually.

"what happened?"

Fu Zili frowned, not bothering to confirm the truth of the statement. Fang Qing rarely joked with them.

Tie Jun was the same, with a serious expression.

"It's alright, it has nothing to do with you. From now on, we'll each go our own way."

"You only say half of what you mean, aren't you just making Junzi and me anxious? You make it sound so easy to talk about each of us separately, but how are we supposed to agree on this? Does that mean I can't ask him out anymore if I want to ask you out in the future?"

"Princess Qing, if there's any problem, perhaps we can help mediate."

Tie Jun said that he was not a busybody, but some things were not.

Fang Qing shook her head. "Everyone has grown up, has their own family, their own life. Just live your own life well."

Fu Zili and Tie Jun couldn't help but exchange a glance.

Qinggege's words sound like she's really taking her job; judging from the tone, the conflict might actually be quite significant.

"You didn't bring him back because you and Jiang Chen had a fight, did you?"

Fu Zili asked tentatively.

"It has nothing to do with this."

Fang Qing chuckled: "I already said, let's each do our own thing."

"..."

What a fine example of each person having their own opinion.

So, after falling out with Jiang Chen, she ended up becoming sisters with him?
