174. Escape from being loved, avoid loving others
Seeing him staring at her bag, Ruan Shu hid it back a little nervously: "What are you doing?" β
His expression was full of vigilance, and there was a little annoyance in his vigilance.
Fu Lingyuan pursed his lips, looked at the mark he left last night exposed by her collar, threw the bag he was carrying on the coffee table, and said lightly: "Don't go to the exhibition today, stay in the hotel to rest." In the afternoon, come back to Haicheng with me. β
The contents of the bag slipped out by inertia and spread out on the coffee table, a box of ointment used to cool the intimate area and relieve pain, and a box to remove skin bruising. Glancing at it, Ruan Shu turned his face expressionlessly: "No." Thank you. I'm not so delicate that I can't get out of bed. I have my own ticket back to Haicheng, and I will be with other colleagues in the evening. β
With that, she carried her bag and bypassed him to go out.
Fu Lingyuan clasped her wrist, blocked her steps, looked sideways, and hooked the corners of his lips obliquely to look at her: "The neck is not covered, and the walking posture is strange, and a clear-eyed person can see it at a glance." Mrs. Fu is going to go out and show off in front of people how fierce her battle with me was last night? I don't mind. β
These words couldn't help but remind her of how violently he asked her again and again last night, Ruan Shu asked himself how well he had controlled his emotions, but in the past two days, he was impulsive and angry every minute.
She shook his hand hard, but she couldn't shake it off, but was pulled by him and pulled her into his arms.
Ruan Shu put his hands on his chest and grabbed him.
Fu Lingyuan contracted his arm and circled her tighter: "This kind of thing for the sake of your body, what is there to fight with me?" Well? β
He lowered his voice, as if he was holding back his anger like her.
Ruan Shu stared straight at him and gritted his teeth: "If you really think about my body, you won't toss me to death." β
"How to die? Comfortable to die 'death'? Fu Lingyuan asked.
Obviously, he was arguing one second ago, and the next second he suddenly changed his painting style without warning. Ruan Shu immediately surged up again: "Fu Lingyuan! β
"Well, I'm here." Fu Lingyuan responded with a pretentious matter.
Ruan Shu: "......"
Fu Lingyuan grabbed her two hands with one hand and clasped them behind her waist, then brought her body in front of him, flicked her collar, and checked her neck and her collarbone.
The indices were more clearly displayed in front of him than before.
Seeing that he seemed to continue to unbutton her, Ruan Shu stopped him: "Can you stop looking for trouble?" β
Fu Lingyuan lifted her eyelids, her gaze fell back to her cold face, and she said in a deep voice: "I don't eat soft or hard, I have never seen a woman like you." β
Those inexplicable emotions surged up in his heart again, filling Ruan Shu's chest and making it uncomfortable.
"Did you let me go when it was soft?" She screamed.
Fu Lingyuan was stunned when he heard this.
Her face was still cold, her red lips were slightly pursed, and she was staring at him at the moment, and her clear phoenix eyes were vaguely polished.
Soon she avoided making eye contact with him, apparently hiding her true emotions.
"You ......" Fu Lingyuan pondered her tone, put his palm on the back of her neck, pressed her head on his shoulder, and unconsciously softened his tone, "I'm sorry, I was a little out of control last night." β
He naturally knew that what she said just now meant that she had actually obeyed him later, but he was still rude......
"I didn't mean to." Fu Lingyuan added another sentence, and after making up for it, he laughed self-deprecatingly - this kind of thing that only a hairy boy can say, he accidentally gave it out without his brain.
But when it comes to really thinking about it, he is not wrong - the origin of last night's bed battle was his anger, and he was already irrational. At first she resisted, and he wanted to punish her; As he did it, he certainly wanted to conquer her further. So much so that in the end, she really went overboard.
"So I'm not going to give you the medicine now, and you don't want to." Fu Lingyuan broke her face back.
"I have to accept it if you give it a slap, and I have to take it if you give me sugar, so you have to force me to be cheap?" Ruan Shu's eyes were gloomy, and he felt that the emotions in his heart were fermenting more and more, and there was a tendency to rush to his nose.
"Why is this forcing you to be cheap?" Fu Lingyuan took a deep breath, held her face, and his face was solemn, "If you want to be cheap, isn't it that I'm more cheap?" Try to see if other men will immediately turn around and leave when they encounter a woman like you? β
As soon as he finished speaking, he frowned and retracted his words: "No. Don't try other men. β
Ruan Shu pursed his lips and said nothing.
It was better for her to be silent than to continue arguing with him. Fu Lingyuan touched her face: "I will control my own in the future." β
Ruan Shu lowered his eyes and said lukewarmly: "When you are controlled by the lower body, you will not remember your guarantee." β
Fu Lingyuan didn't get angry anymore, but smiled, a little to ease the atmosphere, and teased: "Mrs. Fu makes me want to stop, what can I do?" β
Then he kissed her: "Can you now obediently undress and lie back on the bed and let me serve you to rub the medicine?" β
Apparently noticing that she was not as sharp as before, her answer was, "No." β
Fu Lingyuan's smile faded suddenly.
Ruan Shu broke away from his embrace, buttoned up, and said lightly: "There is a small drinking party at noon today." It's not too late, it's time for me to prepare. Thank you for the reminder, I will pay attention to the marks on my body and the posture of walking. β
"I'll go in and change my clothes." She didn't even look at him again, and walked into the bedroom.
When she came out again, the living room was filled with the smell of smoke.
It was Fu Lingyuan who sat on the sofa and swallowed the clouds.
Ruan Shu looked at him calmly: "I'll go to the Convention and Exhibition Center first." β
Fu Lingyuan's eyes were dark.
Ruan Shu turned and walked towards the door.
Fu Lingyuan's question came: "Didn't you deny that you were running away yesterday?" Q: What do I think you're running away from? β
Ruan Shu stagnated slightly.
Fu Lingyuan's voice was cold, word by word, and the words were clear: "You are avoiding being loved, and you are avoiding loving others." β
After a few seconds of silence, Ruan Shu said in a low voice: "I don't know ......"
It was as if I was exhausted.
With that, she continued to walk, opened the door and left.
Fu Lingyuan stared back at the medicine in front of him, and kicked the coffee table fiercely with a gloomy face.
β¦β¦
After coming out of the hotel, Ruan Shu first went to the Apple flagship store next door.
Chen Qingzhou's mobile phone that was broken was a product of the previous two or three years. She hesitated whether to buy him the same model or compensate for the latest one. After second thought, I finally chose the latter. After all, even if she bought the same model, even if it looks the same, it is not the same as his original one.
Naturally, she picked the latest model herself. After putting the mobile phone card into the new mobile phone, loading back all his original data, files and favorites, and checking some important information that the mobile phone had missed in the past two days, Ruan Shu went to the convention and exhibition center.
Because it is the last day of the exhibition, although the exhibition is still distributed, the finishing thing is to be done one after another from the morning, and everyone still has their own summary of the exhibition to report, but it is even busier than the first day.
Ruan Shu sat alone in a chair and used her pad to read the speeches of the various representatives at yesterday's forum that Miao Jia sorted out for her overnight.
"Mr. Ruan. For you. Miao Jia carefully brought the coffee.
"Thank you."
"Why didn't Mr. Fu join you today?"
Ruan Shu raised his head when he heard this, and looked at Miao Jia: "Are you looking for Mr. Fu?" β
"I'll ask for you." Miao Jia smiled, "I had dinner with everyone last night, and I learned that Mr. Ruan had made the relationship between Mr. Ruan and Mr. Fu public yesterday. β
The pupils shrank slightly, Ruan Shu's phoenix eyes narrowed very lightly, and there was no strange curiosity on his face: "You knew that I was married to him before?" β
Miao Jia was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and calmly explained: "It was actually my own guess before. That time, I accidentally bumped into Mr. Ruan, and you and Mr. Fu were in the office...... It's quite affectionate, I was thinking that you should be boyfriend and girlfriend. Later, I accidentally found that Mr. Fu was wearing a wedding ring on the ring finger of his left hand. So I further speculated that you might be a married couple. Now the truth is finally revealed. β
"You're smart." Ruan Shu smiled meaningfully and lowered his head again.
After a while, someone sat in the seat next to him.
Ruan Shu subconsciously raised his head and bumped into Fu Lingyuan's dark eyes.
Pursing her lips, she turned her eyes back to the coffee cup in front of her, stirring gently with a spoon.
The coffee ripples in a circle and in a bone china cup.
In the ear, Miao Jia came over to greet Fu Lingyuan and asked him if he wanted tea or coffee.
Ruan Shuzheng took a sip of the cup, a little bitter.
"Not at all." Fu Lingyuan was lukewarm.
"Okay." Miao Jia left.
Ruan Shu opened the sugar packet and added it, then held a porcelain plate in one hand and stirred the coffee in the other.
Suddenly, Fu Lingyuan's hand covered the hand she was putting on the porcelain plate.
Ruan Shu raised his eyes.
Fu Lingyuan didn't look at her.
Immediately afterwards, Ruan Shu noticed that the ironing from the palm of his hand on the back of his hand had disappeared.
It was he who took her coffee as his own, and took a big sip, as if the touch he had just made with her was unintentional.
And the wall of the cup he was wearing had her lipstick print.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, or if he is intentional, his lips and her lipstick mark fit just right.
Ruan Shu lowered his eyes, stared at the back of his hand, silently withdrew his hand, and continued to pick up the pad to read the information.
Fu Lingyuan sat there silently, without speaking or making any other movements.
The voices of others lingered around her, and the contrast between her and him became more and more quiet.
Ruan Shu stared at the pad, but he couldn't see any more content.
She couldn't help but breathe heavilyβshe had never been so upset as she had been in the past two days......
Fortunately, Li Mao had something to look for her, and she took the opportunity to leave her seat.
On the other side, Chen Qingzhou was talking to Huang Jinrong on the phone.
"Uncle Rong, the last time you said that the woman named Pepe was already pregnant when she was disposed of by my mother?"
"Yes. Your dad only found out about her pregnancy later. Huang Jinrong repeated what he had briefly told him last time, and repeated it in more detail, "Your mother lied to your father to throw Pepe into the sea to feed the fish, and your father couldn't find Pepe, so he thought Pepe was really dead." In addition, your family of three was actually quite harmonious, and gradually, Pepe became a small episode and was forgotten. Until your mother dies......"
No matter how many times it is mentioned, this matter is embarrassing. Huang Jinrong paused again.
Chen Qingzhou understood his psychology and said, "Uncle Rong, it's okay, you don't have to worry, this matter will not damage my mother's image in my heart." β
Huang Jinrong sighed: "It wasn't until your mother passed away that your father learned from your wet nurse that Pepe was actually sent to the urban village back then. That's the clue you have now. While your mother was sending someone to do this, the wet nurse was busy looking after you in the inner room, and only a few words were heard. β
"Your dad has a guilt for Pepe. But after all, after many years, there is not much specific information, so I have been looking for a while. Suddenly, one day he withdrew and was not allowed to look for him. I thought he had given up, but it turned out that ......" realizing that he was a little distant, Huang Jinrong turned around, "What were you just going to ask me?" β
"I want to ask, don't you suspect that the woman you saw that day who looked a lot like Pepe might be Pepe's daughter?"
Huang Jinrong's expression was solemn: "This matter is very important, I calmed down and thought about it carefully, but I didn't dare to be too sure." You're right, at that time, I was in a hurry, and I probably missed Pepe too much, so I couldn't say if I was wrong. If you read it right, then the woman who looks like Pepe may be Pepe's daughter. It could also be Pepe's other relatives. Or maybe there are people in the world who coincidentally look like Pepe. β
Chen Qingzhou hesitated: "That child of my dad and Pepe-"
"I don't know. I don't know if Pepe gave birth to your dad a boy or a girl. Huang Jinrong helped Chen Qingzhou analyze very carefully, "I'm not even sure if that child is still alive." Your mother can't tolerate Pepe, how can she tolerate that child? β
Chen Qingzhou was silent for a while before speaking up again: "Uncle Rong, after you told me that Pei Pei was pregnant with my father's child, I went through the clues at hand again, found something that I had missed before, and made a very important new discovery. Calling you now is actually to confirm with you. β
"Oh?" Huang Jinrong was very excited, "What new discovery?" β
"Let's take a look at the picture I'm sending to your phone right now."
Huang Jinrong took the phone away from his ear when he heard this, and opened the latest message from Chen Qingzhou.
A picture of a woman came into view.
Huang Jinrong was stunned for a moment, and immediately became a little excited: "Who is she?" Where did you get that? How did you find it? β
Although his reaction was already the answer, Chen Qingzhou still asked, "Uncle Rong, is she the woman you see who looks very similar to Pepe?" β
"Yes! Be! Be! Huang Jinrong glanced at the photo again, "Oh, how did you find it?" Where did you find it? Qingzhou, don't deliberately make me anxious! Tell me! Is it right in Jiangcheng? Where is the address? I'm going to find someone right now! β
"Uncle Rong," Chen Qingzhou's voice was a little heavy, and Huang Jinrong calmed down when he heard it, "What?" β
Chen Qingzhou was silent for a while, and when he spoke again, he didn't answer Huang Jinrong's question just now, but said, "The child Pei Peihuai was born, and it was a girl. You're not sure, but I'm sure. The one in the photo is Pepe's daughter to my father. β
Huang Jinrong was stunned for a moment, and then listened to Chen Qingzhou's cold voice: "Fu Lingyuan...... You've got a good hand ......"
β¦β¦
It was almost noon, Miao Jia reminded her of the time of the cocktail party, Ruan Shu tidied up a little, and took the elevator to the banquet hall on the third floor where the cocktail party was located.
The four walls are inlaid with delicate wood carvings and mirrors, elegant but not redundant, and under the illumination of the elevator lights, it adds to the atmosphere and luxury. Through the polished mirror, she saw her slightly pale face, closed her eyes for a moment, and when she opened them again, she had already arranged her facial expression.
The elevator arrived with a "ding", and Ruan Shu stepped out.
There was also a person coming out of the elevator next door, but it was Fu Lingyuan.
Ruan Shu was slightly stunned.
Fu Lingyuan swept past her and walked to the banquet hall first.
Ruan Shu took a slow step, and when he walked to the door, he happened to catch a glimpse of Fu Lingyuan taking back his invitation from the hand of the waiter at the door, which belonged to Sanxin Group.
Before entering, he stopped and looked back at her.
Ruan Shu also showed his invitation letter to the waiter, and then walked inside with Fu Lingyuan.
"The third brother is here on behalf of the headquarters?"
In the field of health care products under Sanxin Group, there is currently only such a subsidiary as Lin's, and the headquarters should send people to Lin's for this exhibition, but no. She was originally wondering, so it was actually Fu Lingyuan?
Hearing him speak confirmed her thoughts: "Shaocong knew that I was coming to Jiangcheng, so he didn't look for another person in charge." After all, it's just a procedural need, and I don't really worry about the Lin family, so I have to stare at everything. And this exhibition does not have much value for Sanxin Group. β
Yu Sanxin Group does not have much value, but Yu Lin's is a good opportunity to contact other industry peers. Ruan Shu lowered his eyes, and his mind quietly turned in his heart - in what he said just now, he actually inadvertently revealed a message: Sanxin Group does not have high requirements for the Lin family.
In fact, she herself has gradually realized this.
previously thought that Fu Lingyuan was sent by Sanxin Group to supervise and restrain her, but everyone thought that in terms of position, she and him should have a delicate relationship. But in fact, Fu Lingyuan has been the vice president of the Lin family for so long, let alone understand the business situation of the Lin family, and he has not even come to the company a few times.
Not at all like an Overseer.
Although Sanxin Group has given Lin the financial and resource support it deserves and has shown a certain amount of attention, it has never explicitly asked Lin to forge ahead, as long as Lin can maintain the current performance.
So Li Mao had considered for her, if Lin's performance was not as good as expected, Sanxin Group would have another airborne personnel or something, but Ruan Shu was not worried.
Sanxin Group's attitude towards Lin's made her more and more unable to figure out the reasons for acquiring Lin's in the first place.
Don't expect Lin's to dominate the market share of the health care products industry for Sanxin Group, so what do you want to do......?
Although he was representing Sanxin Group, Fu Lingyuan did not hang the badge to prove his identity, and after entering the banquet hall, he just walked around at will.
Ruan Shu met with several old acquaintances in Haicheng, and along with them, they were introduced to greet the others. Every time she swept her eyes around her, she could find that Fu Lingyuan was not far from her.
She understood that he came to the cocktail party, not to play the signboard of Sanxin Group, but to accompany her.
Pursing his lips, Ruan Shu withdrew his gaze from him and concentrated on his own communication.
Shaoqing, when she subconsciously looked again, she didn't see him again.
Someone suddenly called out to her from behind.
At the same moment, outside the main entrance of the banquet hall, Fu Lingyuan and Tang Xianyang just came out of the hall and went to the corridor together.
"The third brother also came to Jiangcheng this time? When I met Shu yesterday, she didn't even mention it to me. β
Fu Lingyuan was a little surprised when he heard this: "You met yesterday?" β
"She didn't tell the third brother?" Tang Xianyang was also surprised.
"I didn't say it." Fu Lingyuan stopped at the base of the wall, smiled, and said frankly, "You've been losing your temper with me for the past two days." β
Tang Xianyang had a sudden expression: "No wonder her whole state was a little wrong yesterday." She almost fainted in the synagogue and wouldn't let me inform her colleagues. β
"Almost fainted?" Fu Lingyuan frowned suddenly, "What fainted?" β
"I guess since the third brother didn't know that I met her yesterday, he definitely didn't know about her fainting." Tang Xianyang didn't deliberately sell Guanzi, and said with relief, "It's not a big deal." She didn't eat breakfast, and she didn't rest well, so she had low blood sugar for a while. I happened to be in the synagogue and took her to the break room to have the medical staff give her a brief check-up. β
The expression on Fu Lingyuan's face when he heard this did not stretch, but became more heavily-it was okay for her to meet Tang Xianyang, but she fainted with low blood sugar, and Zhao Shisan didn't even say a word?
Tang Xianyang paid attention to his expression and misunderstood: "You can't be angry with her, right?" She didn't say she didn't want you to worry. β
Did she not want him to worry, or did she feel that it was her own business that she didn't need to tell him? Fu Lingyuan's eyes were dark and dull, his lips were straight, he turned his eyes to look at Tang Xianyang, returned to his usual expression, and asked sparsely, "When did you come to Jiangcheng?" β
"I came with my daughter-in-law last month." Tang Xianyang smiled, "I talked to Shu yesterday that I wanted to give a big gift to my unborn son." β
Fu Lingyuan didn't act as surprised as Ruan Shu yesterday, as if he knew about it, he just raised his lips and said, "Well, it's a big gift." Mine is also with her bag, double the size. β
"First of all, I helped my son thank you in advance." Immediately, Tang Xianyang asked rhetorically, "Haven't you and Shu made any move?" β
Fu Lingyuan paused, leaned his back against the wall, clasped his arms with both hands, and said in a casual posture: "It's still early." We want to have a little more of a two-person world. β
"This is indeed in line with your character, third brother." A waiter sent something to the banquet hall, Tang Xianyang stood aside a little more, gave way to the other party, turned his head again, looked at Fu Lingyuan, and asked hesitantly, "Are you really not going back to Fu's house anymore?" β
"Can you be creative? Everyone had to ask me this phrase repeatedly, and I didn't bother to answer it over and over again. Fu Lingyuan hooked his lips obliquely, "Speaking of which, your father and my old man had a good relationship before, and they are really a group." Your father's business was discovered in time, my old man, huh,"
He pointed to himself: "I am the product of my old man's chaos. β
Fu Lingyuan's life experience, Tang Xianyang naturally knows. When it comes to elders, he doesn't know what to say, and he doesn't know how to answer.
At this moment, the shrill sirens suddenly rang out throughout the floor, covering the panicked commotion in the banquet hall.
