Chapter 174: Chapter 148: That Little Woman Still Has Energy

Fu Jue asked the question and immediately realized he shouldn’t have asked it.

On the other end of the phone, Fu Yisi didn’t hesitate at all and declined Fu Jue’s proposal.

“Dad, there’s no such plan.”

He would never use that plan.

Fu Yisi, who had taken psychology courses in college, knew well the fear and sadness behind such trauma.

He wouldn’t let Ji Sang recall such things.

Upon hearing this, Fu Jue knitted his eyebrows slightly; a few months ago he was worried that the Fu Family’s tradition might end with Fu Yisi, but now, it seemed he could rest easy.

“Right, did your wife and your mom come over to my place today?”

“Uh?”

“Oh, they made afternoon tea and specifically brought it over for me.”

Fu Jue’s tone was quite proud.

Fu Yisi doesn’t eat sweets, so naturally, he didn’t partake.

Fu Yisi: …

Helplessly raised his hand to his forehead, and shook his head.

“Dad,”

It’s really unnecessary; he merely chose to flee from his father when Ms. Ye Lin was exceptionally fond of making desserts.

And now…

Fu Yisi pressed his tongue against his teeth.

It seemed he was indeed a bit indignant.

Why couldn’t he enjoy the service of his wife personally delivering afternoon tea?

Fu Jue knew Fu Yisi very well; this brief word “dad” made it clear that his intentions had been achieved.

“Ah Shang’s culinary skills are not much different from your mom’s.”

Fu Yisi: …

“No more,” he said.

He hung up, the man leaning slightly against the chair, his brows furrowed, his fingers intermittently tapping the table.

Tsk…

That young woman had the energy to go there and make a fuss today?

…

In the meantime, after Ji Sang and Ye Lin returned to the Fu Family, they received a call from Song Xiu.

It was about the matter concerning Shawen Kindergarten.

Ji Sang suddenly remembered the scene where she encountered Cheng Jianwen in the small alley near the TV station. At that time, he must have already realized that his secret meeting with Zheng Xia would be exposed.

However, he was still very calm and even uttered an ambiguous, threatening phrase to her.

This meant that he was already confident about resolving the kindergarten issue.

Zheng Xia was just one of his strategies, or perhaps… he never really thought he could succeed through Zheng Xia.

After all, Zheng Xia was just a writer, and finally, the approval of the editor-in-chief is required.

So, why did he seek out Zheng Xia?

Ji Sang’s eyes flickered slightly, her hand holding the phone tightened slowly, and even on closer inspection, there was a slight tremble.

She remembered the elevator accident at the TV station that night.

If Cheng Jianwen deliberately sought Zheng Xia, purposely let her find out, leading to the subsequent incidents, then this man’s schemes were incredibly cunning.

Ji Sang calmed her restless gaze.

“Mom, I’m going out for a bit.”

Ye Lin noticed something off about Ji Sang’s expression.

“What happened?”

“It’s nothing, just a colleague asking to meet.”

But her appearance didn’t look like nothing was amiss.

“Have the driver take you.”

“Alright.”

Ji Sang agreed.

She wanted to carefully go over anything related to Cheng Jianwen from the past few months.

Cheng Jianwen had said, he wouldn’t let Fu Yisi off.

But what did he mean by not letting off?

Ji Sang and Song Xiu scheduled a meeting at a coffee shop half an hour away from the Fu Family’s place; Ji Sang arrived to find Song Xiu and Wang Ting already waiting there for a while.

Seeing the two of them, Ji Sang remembered that Lu Ming had told her that the matter of Shawen Kindergarten was entrusted to them.

But as soon as she entered, Ji Sang noticed that the atmosphere between the two was clearly different from before. She couldn’t quite put her finger on why.

Getting straight to the point.

“You’re saying you found out who Cheng Jianwen was meeting with secretly?”

Song Xiu stared at Ji Sang for a few moments, feeling that today’s Ji Sang was different from before, seemingly much gentler.

Also possessing a bit more charm of a woman.

However…

Song Xiu glanced a few times then shifted his gaze, turning his head to look at Wang Ting beside him, who blinked at him.

“Sister Ji, this is what Song Xiu and I squatted for a whole day to get.”

Wang Ting handed over a photo, her tone full of pride and excitement.

This was her first time doing something as a news journalist.

Although it was somewhat paparazzi-like, the result was good.

Ji Sang took the photo.

In it, Cheng Jianwen was being led into a Japanese restaurant by a tall man in a black suit.

Cheng Jianwen’s expression was quite stern, probably about to meet someone very important.

But…

Ji Sang looked at the man in the black suit, frowning.

That face seemed familiar.

“Sister Ji, do you recognize him?”

Song Xiu straightened up slightly, pointing at the man in the photo.

Ji Sang pursed her lips,

“I think I’ve seen him before.”

But she wasn’t sure where.

Since returning to her country, she hadn’t been to many places, but had also traveled around in her free time. Maybe it was one of the thousands of people she had captured on camera.

“I’ll look it up when I go back.”

Luckily, she had the habit of storing photos on her computer.

After talking about business, Ji Sang finally had the mind to take a closer look at the two in front of her.

There was more understanding between them, with occasional affectionate glances.

Ji Sang smiled a little,

“Are you… together now?”

The moment she said this, Song Xiu and Wang Ting both choked.

Wang Ting quickly shook her head in denial.

“No… we’re not.”

However, Ji Sang keenly noticed the diamond ring on her finger.

Middle finger, representing engagement.

Although Song Xiu was startled by Ji Sang’s sudden question, he turned his head to look at Wang Ting as she denied it.

His gaze slightly darkened, rather profound.

Ji Sang raised her eyebrows slightly, leisurely sipping her lightly iced coffee.

The refreshing coolness momentarily set aside the bothersome thoughts in her heart.

“Oh, then how do you explain the engagement rings you both have?”

Wang Ting: …

She instinctively covered her left hand.

After looking up and seeing the smiling eyes of Ji Sang, she deflated and let go of her hand,

“He isn’t wearing it, Sister Ji, how did you know?”

Ji Sang smiled.

It’s true that Song Xiu wasn’t wearing it on his hand, but he had a necklace around his neck.

She had simply bluffed them, not expecting to succeed so easily.

Song Xiu, who had been silent, suddenly snorted,

“Wang Xiaoting, isn’t it you who told me not to wear it on my hand?”

Something about how it wouldn’t be good if his coworkers at the TV station found out.

What’s so bad about it?

They were already openly engaged.

Wang Ting pouted and remained silent.

At the end of the day, she still cared a bit about Song Xiu’s previous affection for Ji Sang. But Ji Sang was so outstanding, what she felt was more admiration and inferiority.

Although between her and Song Xiu there was indeed a growing flirtatious essence, she knew that the engagement was forced by his family.

The ring, she wore it, proving that she was his, and that was enough.

Over these years, she had to take things slowly, couldn’t demand too much all at once.

Ji Sang didn’t quite understand what was happening between the two, but still raised her cup,

“In the future, remember to invite me to your wedding celebrations.”
