Fu Beizheng has never liked Western food. These foreign food require the use of knives and forks.
Isn’t this way of eating barbaric?
But it was Song Xiaochan's first time eating Western food, and everything felt strange.
After the steak was brought over, Liang Xiao happily taught her how to eat Western food, and even thoughtfully cut the steak before placing it in front of her.
"Thank you, Teacher Liang."
Song Xiaochan's cheeks turned red and she thanked shyly.
Liang Xiao smiled softly: "Dine with a beautiful lady, this is what I should do."
Before Liang Xiao turned around to help Shen Wanyin cut the steak, Fu Beizheng at the table next to him laughed disdainfully.
"Xiaochan, men who talk sweet words are the most untrustworthy. You are still young. When you are older, you will know the true colors of some people."
While speaking, Fu Beizheng had already stood up.
He walked up to Shen Wanyin, picked up a knife and fork, and cut the steak in front of her.
"There is no need for Mr. Liang to do this little thing for my wife."
After saying that, he hummed softly.
Shen Wanyin was noncommittal about Fu Beizheng's childish behavior.
For the next time, Fu Beizheng just sat next to him drinking coffee.
From time to time, he would make some sarcastic remarks when Liang Xiao spoke.
Fu Beizheng and Liang Xiao were competing, and Shen Wanyin was the most uncomfortable.
She thought maybe Song Xiaochan couldn't stand the two of them, so she suddenly stood up and said she wanted to go to the bathroom.
During lunch time, there were many more people walking on the streets.
Song Xiaochan, who was supposed to go to the bathroom, walked out of the back alley of the Western restaurant.
She looked around first to make sure no one noticed her before trotting to the phone booth across the street.
Time was running out, so she quickly dialed a number.
After several rings, the other end finally picked up.
"Sister, I am Xiaochan."
At this time, Song Xiaochan raised her eyes in surprise.
Song Yingying on the other end has been waiting for her call for a long time.
"How are you doing with Brother A Zheng?"
"Brother A Zheng is very good to me, and no one in Fu Mansion comforts me."
"Very good, where is she? Does she doubt you?"
"...Tai, Shen Wanyin didn't bully me. I don't see her often."
Listening to her sister's inquiry, Song Xiaochan replied after a brief hesitation.
When Shen Wanyin was mentioned, Song Yingying couldn't help but narrow her eyes.
"Xiaochan, remember why I asked you to stay with Brother A Zheng! He was supposed to be your brother-in-law, but who knew that shameless woman Shen Wanyin took Brother A Zheng away from me."
Song Yingying felt particularly hateful when she mentioned these past events.
"Before, Shen Wanyin was seriously injured, and Brother Zheng blamed me for not learning about the ambush at the first time. I hate this woman so much, but I still want to protect her... Xiaochan, do you know how sad my sister is?"
"Sister, don't be afraid! When I'm at Fu Mansion from now on, I will definitely monitor her for you."
"I knew you wouldn't let me down. We are the only sisters in this world who depend on each other for life."
"Sister, I miss you..."
When Song Xiaochan heard what Song Yingying said, tears welled up in her eyes.
Before she could immerse herself in the uncomfortable emotions for too long, Song Yingying asked again: "Where will Brother Zheng stay every night during this period?"
"Brother A Zheng always sleeps in the living room. I heard from the servant that he has been resting in the living room in the past few years."
Song Xiaochan answered truthfully.
But she didn't mention that she discovered that Fu Beizheng would go to Shen Wanyin's room for a while every night when he came back. Even if he couldn't get in, he would have to stand at the door for a while.
"Very good. It seems that the person I arranged to stay at Fu Mansion was right."
When Song Xiaochan heard Song Yingying say this, she remained silent and did not respond.
There is also someone from Song Yingying in Fu Mansion, but Song Xiaochan has not heard of her before.
So just now, when she asked, who did she not believe?
Song Xiaochan certainly didn't want to think too much about her biological sister.
"Hurry back and contact me if you have anything important to do. In short, the purpose of your coming to the Fu Mansion is to keep an eye on Shen Wanyin for me and make sure not to let her get close to Brother Zheng."
Saying that, Song Yingying narrowed her eyes gloomily.
"When necessary, you can also use some small tricks. Shen Wanyin, a woman who looks gentle on the surface, is actually very arrogant. As long as you use some caution, she and Brother Zheng will not be able to get along peacefully."
"I see."
After hanging up the phone, Song Xiaochan didn't dare to waste time and ran to the western restaurant anxiously.
At this time, Fu Beizheng no longer wanted to hear Liang Xiao talk about the interesting things about being at the same table with Shen Wanyin, so he simply found an excuse and left first.
After all, it was really not a good feeling to see Shen Wanyin and Liang Xiao talking and laughing while mentioning things that he didn't even know about.
Shen Wanyin watched Fu Beizheng leave and took a sip of water.
"Fu Beizheng has been angered by you, are you satisfied?"
"Fu Beizheng is too impatient. Now I'm talking about us being roommates in the second year."
After succeeding, Liang Xiao smiled with satisfaction.
At this time, there were only two of them left, and Shen Wanyin could bring up business matters without any scruples.
"It seems that my uncle is still in Hong Kong City, and it will take a few days before he comes back! When he comes back, I will arrange for you to meet."
When Liang Xiao talked about this, the smile on his face faded a bit.
After hearing this, Shen Wanyin turned her head and looked at him.
"Two days ago you said he was still abroad, why is he suddenly in Hong Kong City again?"
Her eyes are clear, and at the same time, she gives people the feeling of being seen through her heart.
Liang Xiao suddenly panicked.
"Really? Oh, I forgot to mention...he just arrived in Hong Kong City from abroad and has business matters there."
He was a little unnatural when he said this.
Shen Wanyin listened and didn't speak for a while.
The two grew up together, and she knew Liang Xiao's little details very well.
"Liang Abao, are we good friends?"
Abao is Liang Xiao's nickname, and only those closest to her family know it.
Shen Wanyin suddenly called him like this, which made Liang Xiao feel a little dazed.
"Of course, you even agreed to my proposal when you were a child and became my little fiancée."
Liang Xiao always feels a little angry when mentioning this matter.
He was the first one to confess to Shen Wanyin, but now he could only watch her from a distance.
"In this case, if you have anything, you can't hide it from me. Now I am considered a businessman. If there is anything you can do to help me, please tell me."
"Xiao Wanyin, has Fu Beizheng seen you like this? You mean by saying this, it seems that you want me to eat soft rice."
Liang Xiao was a little surprised when she heard Shen Wanyin's words.
But soon he had a naughty and unrestrained smile on his face.
"Don't worry! I'm just a university teacher now, how can I get into trouble."
"Really? You can't lie to me."
"My little fiancée, it would be great if I didn't go abroad to study. Maybe the person you marry will be me?"
Liang Xiao was a little stunned. He thought about the past and said with emotion.
Before Shen Wanyin could respond, Fu Beizheng, who had already returned, sneered behind him.
"Teacher Liang, you are not the one doing daydreaming."
…
On the way back, Shen Wanyin asked the driver to stop in front of a clothing store.
"Want to buy clothes?"
Fu Beizheng turned his head to look at her.
"Don't you think the clothes you bought for Song Xiaochan are inappropriate? She is only sixteen years old and still a little girl."
As Shen Wanyin said, Chu Jin had already walked over with Song Xiaochan.
"Madam, what's the matter?"
Song Xiaochan asked in confusion.
"The clothes Fu Beizheng asked people to buy for you are so ugly that I feel uncomfortable. After all, you are from the Fu Mansion, so people know it's a joke. The clothes in this dress shop are good. I asked Chu Jin to accompany you in to pick some."
Hearing Shen Wanyin's words, Song Xiaochan originally wanted to refuse.
"I have to buy it, otherwise people will think there is something wrong with my taste."
When Song Xiaochan walked into the store, Shen Wanyin let her drive.
"Sometimes, you don't mean what you mean."
"If you don't want to be kicked out of the car by me, just shut up!"
Shen Wanyin glared at Fu Beizheng angrily.
"Actually, I can help you with your business matters."
After a while, Fu Beizheng mentioned this matter.
Whether it's Ma Xiu or Liang Xiao, it's not easy for Shen Wanyin to negotiate this business.
Fu Beizheng didn't understand that as Jiangcheng's young commander, he could obviously help solve many things.
But she never mentioned it to him.
"Young Marshal Fu, you have great hands and eyes. Of course you can help me with these little things. Even other businesses of the Shen family, as long as you are willing, you can make money easily."
Shen Wanyin did not deny this at all.
And many times before, the business of the Shen family and the Jiang family was particularly smooth thanks to Fu Beizheng's care.
"I understand the truth, but Marshal Fu, can you help me for the rest of your life?"
"You know, I can."
Fu Beizheng said casually.
She is his wife, isn't it natural to do this?
After listening to it, Shen Wanyin evoked a faint smile.
"...but I can't."
As she spoke, she turned her head and looked out the car window.
"Before I married you, it was the Shen family who protected me, and later you made me live a comfortable life in the Fu Mansion. But I don't want to live like this for the rest of my life. I think I can live well even without you."
As he spoke, Shen Wanyin's eyes were firm.
…
Shen Wanyin's body had not recovered to what it was before the injury. She had been out for most of the day and fell asleep quickly from exhaustion.
When they were in the car, Fu Beizheng saw this and gently leaned his head against hers.
After returning to Fu's mansion, he directly hugged her and got out of the car.
Fu Beizheng didn't feel it before, but now the more he hugs her, the easier it becomes.
Every time, he lamented why Shen Wanyin was so light.
When he put her on the bed, he looked at her quietly for a while.
"Shen Wanyin, are you ready to leave me no matter when? But I will never let that day come."
