Reprimands, Fu Hongru must have written plenty when he was young, always with a fine brush script.
Fu Shihan found a few of them in the study when he was a child, now God knows where they all are.
After dinner, Fu Shihan took a walk and then went upstairs to work. Calculating the time for Empire, when evening came, he couldn’t resist sending a video call to Su Wanxin.
Su Wanxin had just changed clothes and done her makeup, planning to head out. She answered the video and met Fu Shihan’s gaze, listening as he asked with interest, "Where are you going?"
"There’s a financial meeting, just going to check it out."
"Why didn’t I receive an invitation?"
Su Wanxin: "...I don’t know. Should I ask the organizer for you later?"
Fu Shihan looked displeased, and seeing this, Su Wanxin pursed her lips and smiled. "I can’t talk now, I’m in a hurry to leave."
"Okay then, be careful on your way."
Reluctantly, Fu Shihan ended the call, and half an hour later, received a video call from Lu Ci.
He glanced at his phone and rejected the call. The caller kept trying, and he rejected it again. On the third try, he angrily picked up and bluntly said, "Ugly refusal, not interested!"
Lu Ci chuckled softly, adjusted the camera angle on his phone, allowing Fu Shihan to clearly see his surroundings.
Fu Shihan was slightly startled, his eyes flickering: "Where did you go?"
"To Empire."
Fu Shihan: "What are you doing there?"
"Chasing my girlfriend," Lu Ci responded matter-of-factly. "I just met Lawyer Qi, definitely made a better impression than you."
Fu Shihan: "..."
"Brother Han, no offence, but I think my chances of integrating into the Su Family are more promising than yours."
One after the other they all want to live off their wives, is it the decline of morality or the distortion of human nature?
Fu Shihan couldn’t help but laugh in anger, blurting out, "Can’t you act like a decent person?"
"Oh, you actually said that?" Lu Ci laughed nonchalantly. "Sorry, I was influenced by you; I’m still not quite there yet though."
After saying this, he hung up the phone to go elevate his presence with his future girlfriend.
When Su Yao saw Lu Ci, she gasped, "Why are you here?"
"On a business trip."
"Oh..." Right, he is not some idle rich second generation, he needs to work.
Su Yao: "Then you go ahead, I won’t disturb you."
"Hey, hey, hey, don’t go!" Lu Ci swiftly stopped her. "I’m missing a female companion for tonight, how about Lawyer Qi names her price?"
"Are you looking to die? Still coming?"
"This is your territory, what are you scared of?" Lu Ci smiled and asked, "Don’t want to earn some money?"
"...Not earning! I’m not short on money!"
"Aunt Qi’s birthday is next month, right? I heard she likes jade, and I just happen to have a piece, want to take a look?"
Hearing this, Su Yao hesitated. She was just worrying about what gift to give this year; if what he had was good, then perhaps they could negotiate a price to buy it.
"Did you bring the jade with you?"
"Yeah." Lu Ci nodded. "Sincere, right?"
"Sincerity not found yet, just feels like you are full of schemes. I don’t know who else brings jade on a business trip. What, it’s been blessed for warding off evil?"
Su Yao’s sharp teasing, knowing his calculations.
"Ugly truth first, there’s no chance for us, don’t pull this trick on me."
Lu Ci smiled ambiguously, not taking her words to heart.
The more she said there was no chance, the more he felt there were endless possibilities. Besides, seeing her reaction, he really couldn’t resist teasing her a bit.
