If you can't figure it out, you don't want to think about it, Lu Yanzhi asked Fu Jichen bluntly: "Where did the Pei family provoke you?" "As soon as he made a move, he was so ruthless, it can be seen that it is not a small grudge.

"Didn't mess with me." Fu Jichen disdained to find excuses to prevaricate him, "I promised someone." ”

"Who?"

Who is it, not only has a grudge against the Pei family, but can also say that Fu Da can help.

Lu Yanzhi racked his brains to check the people around Fu Jichen one by one, and finally remembered Shen Jiannian after going around in a circle, thinking of her life experience, he felt that he had found the right answer.

At the beginning, the Lingyue Group was annexed by the Pei family, and in order not to tell the truth, the news was blocked from the outside world, and ordinary people did not know the inside story at all. However, with such a big move, it is almost impossible to hide it from everyone. Although the headquarters of the Lu family is in Yicheng, a large part of the business is linked to Beicheng, and Lu Yanzhi heard about this a long time ago.

"You, don't tell me, you did all this for Shen Jianian!" Lu Yanzhi shouted at the top of his voice, almost breaking his voice.

On the other hand, Fu Jichen looked light: "Can't you?" ”

Lu Yanzhi didn't know what kind of eyes to use to judge his expression at the moment, he didn't care at all about such a dangerous thing, as if he was saying "The moonlight is good tonight".

"Do you really want to be an enemy of the entire Pei family for Shen Jianian?" Lu Yanzhi didn't joke with him, his expression was very serious, "The Pei family is deeply rooted in Beicheng, and it is by no means as easy to destroy as it seems on the surface. ”

The struggle within the Fu family will only be more fierce than outside, and those so-called close relatives are waiting to see Fu Jichen fall into the mud and can't get up, so that they can continue to fight for the position of heir.

Less competition is more hope, isn't it?

Fu Jichen lazily lifted his eyelids, and didn't take it seriously: "It's just a Pei family." ”

Lu Yanzhi was speechless.

Compared with the Fu family, who has been rich for many generations, isn't it just "a Pei family"?

Rao is like this, as Fu Jichen's good brother, he also has to persuade him a few words: "I know you like Shen Jianian very much, but it's not worth it, you can coax her to be happy in many ways, there is no need to catch yourself." Don't people say that one more enemy is better than one more friend? Even if you can't be friends with the Pei family, it's okay to be safe, why do you make enemies for yourself, thinking that your life is too comfortable? ”

"Listening to you now is like listening to a monk chanting." Fu Jichen supported his forehead with one hand, leaned back in the chair, and his thin eyelids were half-drooping, showing impatience.

Lu Yanzhi said angrily: "You are a monk!" ”

Fu Jichen smiled and said nothing. How can he be a monk, his seven emotions and six desires have all been mobilized recently, and his life is very nourishing.

Lu Yanzhi inadvertently saw the tooth mark on his tiger's mouth again, and then looked at the curvature of the corner of his lips, and couldn't help but shake his head: "You just spoil her!" Sooner or later, pampered and arrogant. It's not going to happen yet, she dares to be presumptuous with you. If there is anything in the future, then you must not kick your nose and face. ”

Last time, he remembered that it seemed to be the day when the Qin family held a wedding banquet, he went to the Rose Manor to find Fu Jichen, intending to go with him, when he saw a scratch on this person's neck. I saw it again today, and it was still on such a conspicuous part of the face! The hand was also bitten.

Don't men want to lose face?

Fu Jichen touched the tooth mark with his fingertips, raised his eyebrows and said, "Pampered and arrogant? I'm looking forward to it. ”

Lu Yanzhi: "You are hopeless." ”

The last Saturday of the year happens to be the 29th, and I need to go to work, and then I officially have a New Year's Day holiday.

Zhu Yilan checked the schedule and crossed out the completed work one by one with a marker, leaving only one item, and she took the contract to Fu Jichen to sign.

The process was very smooth, Zhu Yilan took the signed contract, stood in front of the desk and hesitated: "Mr. Chen, there is something ......"

"Say anything." Fu Jichen covered the cap of the pen, put the pen back, and looked up at her.

Zhu Yilan: "The day after tomorrow is Miss Shen's birthday, do you need to prepare anything?" ”

She is the leader of the secretary's office, and she has to arrange the boss's official and private affairs properly, especially after the special assistant Song Fang was sent to Beicheng to do other work, Shen Jianian, the assistant to the president, has not yet completely gotten started, and many things need to be asked by her personally.

Fu Jichen glanced at the desk calendar on the table: "Her birthday is December 31st?" "The last day of the year.

"Well, on the onboarding profile." Zhu Yilan replied.

Fu Jichen seems to have seen her date of birth, but he didn't bother to remember too many things on weekdays, but fortunately, Zhu Yilan reminded: "You don't have to care, I'll arrange it myself." ”

"Okay, I got it."

Zhu Yilan walked out of the president's office, and the sound of his high heels on the floor became faster and faster, like a dense drumbeat, until he stopped next to a pot of green plants in the corridor.

She pressed the folder against her heart, slowing her breath a little faster.

Time heals all suffering. This is true, she doesn't seem to be in as much pain as she was at the beginning.

She slowly accepted the reality, and was able to calmly remind him that the woman he had favored was about to have a birthday.

Zhu Yilan raised her face and pulled the corners of her mouth at the air, although she couldn't do it at all, she believed that sooner or later, she would be able to completely erase the traces of that person in her heart.

Even if she can't, she'll be buried forever.

Businessmen have no real holidays to speak of, and during the New Year's Day holiday, Fu Jichen went to Beicheng for something important.

He was expected to return to Yicheng on the afternoon of the 31st, but the flight was canceled due to foggy weather.

Fu Jichen decisively chose to take the high-speed rail.

Because of the temporary purchase of tickets and the rush hour of the holiday, there are several times more passengers traveling than usual. The good trains and seats were sold out, and after some tossing, I arrived in Yicheng at more than seven o'clock in the evening.

At lunchtime, he took the time to call Shen Jianian and asked her what she wanted to eat at night.

It was snowing lightly in Yicheng, and Shen Jianian had just finished lunch when he received the call, curled up on the sofa in his room, holding a cup of black tea, and enjoying the beautiful scenery covered by the thin layer of snow in the green vegetation in the manor through the window.

No one here knew it was her birthday, and she didn't take the initiative to mention it.

Two days ago, she received a birthday gift from Bai Changxia from Beicheng. Originally, Bai Changxia planned to take advantage of the New Year's Day holiday to come to Yicheng to give her a birthday, but because her mother was sick and hospitalized, her father went on a business trip to other places and did not return, she needed to accompany the bed in the hospital to take care of the patient, so she had to cancel the trip.

"I want to eat roast chicken." Shen Jianian told Fu Jichen on the phone at the time.

Fu Jichen paused for a few seconds: "That's it?" ”

"Hmm."

Shen Jianian was very impressed, one year for her birthday, her mother made her a roast chicken, the chicken belly was stuffed with vegetables and fruits, and the roasted taste was very fragrant.

She hadn't tasted that in a long time and missed it so much in the cold winter months with light snow.

The sky was gloomy, it was very dark in the room without turning on the lights, Shen Jianian didn't draw the curtains, he went to bed after reading a book for a while, and when he woke up, he couldn't see a trace of light outside, and it was completely dark.

She touched the phone next to her pillow to check the time, it was already seven o'clock in the evening, and she was a little hungry.

Aunt Jane didn't seem to come up and call her for dinner? Is it for fear of disturbing her rest?

Shen Jianian rubbed his stomach, got out of bed and put on plush slippers, went to the bathroom to wash his face with cold water, and the whole person was a lot more sober.

She took the elevator to the living room on the first floor, and as soon as the elevator door opened, she smelled the rich aroma of roast chicken, the kind she liked, much like her mother had made, with lemon and basil leaves.

For a while, Shen Jiannian's memory quickly regressed to the scene of that year's birthday, and he was stunned.

It wasn't until the elevator door was about to close that she raised her eyes in a trance, reached out to block the metal door that was about to close, and walked out of the elevator with two quick steps.

The scent wafted from the kitchen, and it was clear that it wasn't bought at the market.

Shen Jianian thought that on the phone call at noon, Fu Jichen asked her what she wanted to eat, but she didn't have anything to say and asked casually, but she didn't expect him to take action.

Does he know it's her birthday?
