Chapter 245 Along the way
"Mr. Fu."

Ye Xi was also surprised to see him. Although she had seen him once before near Xingyue Entertainment Building, she thought he just happened to come over to discuss the project and never thought that they might meet again.

"Why is Mr. Fu here?"

Fu Linchuan smiled faintly: "I live nearby."

Ye Xi was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "I see, that's what a coincidence."

She searched the nearby map in her mind. It seemed that the only place in this area that was worthy of Fu Linchuan's status was... that place.

Fu Linchuan looked around her. He wanted to wake up first, but Ye Xi hadn't driven her car out yet, so there was no one around.

"Do you need me to give Miss Ye a ride?"

It would be great if I didn't have to drive myself. Ye Xi was about to agree, but then she remembered that he said he lived nearby, so she asked hesitantly, "Can I ask where Mr. Fu lives nearby?"

Fu Linchuan said: "Looking down the river."

really.

"Fujiangting is quite close to here. If Mr. Fu sends me back and then comes back, will it take a lot of time?"

Fu Linchuan's tone remained unchanged: "No, I just happened to have something to do and needed to go to Qingyun International, so it's on my way."

Qingyun International is at the end of a boulevard behind Ye’s residence, so it is indeed convenient to go there.

"In that case, thank you very much."

After saying that, he took the initiative to run to the other side and got on the car. At the same time, he expressed his feelings that he thought he was already very tired after being busy until so late, but he didn't expect that there was still an expert.

He deserves the money.

After fastening her seat belt, she realized that Fu Linchuan had been looking at her, so she smiled at him politely.

Fu Linchuan looked away and turned his attention back to the laptop in front of him, but he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

The car was driving slowly in the dark night. There was silence inside the car. Ye Xi glanced to the side quietly. The man was concentrating on looking at an electronic document.

It is said that a man is most charming when he is working seriously. Ye Xi didn't feel anything when she saw Jiang Yixuan working at Jiang's company, but now looking at Fu Linchuan, she actually felt her heart beating a little faster.

The atmosphere inside this car...seems a bit strange.

Seeing Fu Linchuan finish reading a document, clicked a few times on the keyboard, closed the computer, and turned to look at her. Ye Xi was shocked to realize that she had been staring at him in a daze, and quickly looked away, but she was still caught.

There was no light on in the car, and after the light from the screen disappeared, only the neon lights on both sides of the road remained. They were so bright that it was impossible to see each other's faces.

"Ms. Ye, do you feel unwell somewhere?" Fu Linchuan asked with concern.

Ye Xi shook her head: "I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere."

Fu Linchuan asked again: "Then why do you keep staring at me?"

Ye Xi felt a little embarrassed. She glanced at the driver's seat. The driver was tactful enough to treat her as an invisible person.

In this case... Ye Xi turned her head and smiled with narrowed eyes: "Because... you are pretty!" She originally thought that Fu Linchuan would be embarrassed when she said that, but she didn't expect that he was not as shameless as she imagined, and even couldn't help laughing. "Ms. Ye is also very pretty."

Ye Xi was about to be modest, but he continued, "Otherwise, Mr. Jiang wouldn't be so anxious to marry Miss Ye."

Ye Xi’s smile froze.

"It seems that Mr. Fu has heard a lot of news recently."

Fu Linchuan turned around and leaned back in his chair. "These are just news that everyone knows."

Ye Xi also smiled, but there was not much smile in her smile.

"If Mr. Fu wants to know some news that others don't know, isn't it easy?"

Fu Linchuan's hand was on the closed computer lid, and his slender fingers were tapping on it intermittently, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Yes."

He admitted it frankly.

"Besides, if I hadn't known that news, I might not have been able to endure it for so long."

Ye Xi's brows tightened, then relaxed and looked at him, somewhat unable to figure out what he meant.

From what he said, he must have known all the inside stories about Jiang Yixuan being anxious to marry her, but...what does it mean to be patient?
What does he need to endure?
After thinking for a while, Ye Xi guessed the possibility: "Mr. Fu... has a grudge against Jiang Yixuan?"

Fu Linchuan glanced at her.

"That's it."

Ye Xi raised his eyebrows privately. He didn't expect that this Phoenix man had offended so many people, even Fu Linchuan. It seemed that dealing with him would be easier than he thought.

However, as the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Although it seems that Fu Linchuan treats her well now, the two of them don't have a definite relationship after all. This kind of vague friendship is not very reliable. If she can get him to join the group to arrange Jiang Yixuan, maybe she can really make friends with him.

Who wouldn't want to get on the Fu family's good side? Others had no way to get it, but she had the right timing, people, and location. If she didn't seize this opportunity that was delivered to her, she would be really stupid.

She was not the kind of person who was pretentious and falsely noble. To her, everything in the world could be used. As long as it was not illegal and did not harm others, and she could achieve her goals in a simpler and more direct way, why not do it? Moreover, Fu Linchuan himself did not like Jiang Yixuan, so there was no reason not to do such a win-win situation.

However, this is a backup option first, after all, Fu Linchuan is not someone who is easy to get rid of. If Jiang Yixuan only has the strength she has seen now, she can rely on herself, but if her idea is right... then Fu Linchuan is a guarantee.

Thinking of this, Ye Xi decided to "show a little loyalty" to Fu Linchuan first, and took the initiative to say: "Although Mr. Fu should know everything he should know, I still want to explain for myself and the Ye family. We have nothing to do with Jiang Yixuan and the Jiang family, even..."

Ye Xi sighed specially before continuing: "There is still a little holiday."

"Oh?" Fu Linchuan was obviously interested.

Ye Xi felt that what he said should satisfy him, so he continued: "Mr. Fu also knows that Jiang Yixuan took advantage of my ignorance and swindled a lot of funds and resources from me in the past, and those were not my will.

So, now that I have come to my senses, I am thinking that I must find a way to get some of it back from him. It just so happens that he came to me again some time ago, wanting to continue to cheat me out of some things, so I came up with this method of luring him with a marriage contract... This is also a helpless move."

She spoke with such sincerity and a mixture of truth and lies that ordinary people would have believed it long ago.

But she forgot that Fu Linchuan understood her better than she thought. If there was one person in this world who could completely understand her thoughts, that person must be Fu Linchuan.
