Her tone was very calm, and there were no fluctuations.
It was the same as usual.
But it could often hit his heart and bring about a burst of electricity.
The heat of the milk tea passed through the paper cup to his palm and warmed his entire body.
Fu Yunshen looked down.
He never thought that his 23rd birthday would be like this.
He thought that it would pass by in a daze like before.
But it was different this time.
Jiang Moyuan couldn't help but take a step back.
To him, nothing was more impactful than Ying Zijin's actions and words.
His heart spasmed, and he felt suffocated.
"Jiang Moyuan, you're old. Remember to buy some insurance and maintain yourself." Fu Yunshen tilted his head slightly, his peach blossom eyes curved, but there was coldness in them. "Don't think about someone you don't deserve."
The Maserati left just like that, blowing the exhaust all over Jiang Moyuan's body.
He stood rooted to the ground, his expression unprecedentedly ugly.
Jiang Moyuan had always been conceited. He never thought that he would have a day like this.
Even when Ying Zijin threw the bank card at him in front of him, he only thought that she was throwing a tantrum.
After all, he was the one who brought her to Hu City. He was the only one she could rely on in the beginning.
But Fu Yunshen appeared midway.
It was the only accident that he didn't expect.
Jiang Moyuan pursed his lips, returned to the driver's seat, and started the car.
**
In the Maserati.
This was Ying Zijin's first time driving. After driving for such a long distance, she was already very familiar with it.
But this was the only time. After all, she was still underage and hadn't even gotten her driver's license.
Fu Yunshen leaned against the front passenger seat.
The sunlight outside the window was warm and fell on his eyelashes, dyeing his brows and eyes a light gold.
It wasn't that he wasn't in Hua City all these years. Every year on November 11th, he would return to Hu City to pay respects to Yan Yuehua and Fu Liuying.
Every time he stayed on that mountain, he would stay for an entire day.
It was as if this was the only way he could feel that Fu Liuying was still there.
Fu Yunshen lowered his head and only then remembered to look at the other unread WeChat messages.
There were many people asking about him. There were 99 + people, not including other chat apps.
With a relaxed expression, he clicked on Nie Chao's chat box.
[Bro, are you alright?]
[I've just been released by my old man. I'll go to Hucheng to look for you. Wait for me, brother. I'll bring two bottles of wine. No, I forgot that you don't even drink wine.]
A while ago, Nie Chao was kidnapped by Grandpa Nie and brought back to the Imperial City.
Nie Yi was the head of Yizi, so he couldn't interfere with the Nie family's matters.
Old Man Nie had no choice but to take a step back and start training Nie Chao.
Although this guy was quite unreliable, he was very smart and did not put his heart on the right path.
Fu Yunshen seemed to be deep in thought. Instead of answering, he asked a question.
[What does a little girl mean by saying that she wants to raise you?]
He had never seen someone like his little friend, who could use the most heartless tone to say the most provocative words.
She had said what she should and shouldn't say.
Nie Chao's reply was very fast.
[What? Bro, there's a rich woman who wants to raise you? Damn, you're too lucky. Introduce her to me. I need her, okay?
My old man cut off my bank card. I have no source of income. I'm hungry. I'm begging for food.]
Fu Yunshen's gaze fell on the words "introduce her to me." His peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly.
[I'll block you if you say any more nonsense.]
Nie Chao immediately sent a kneeling emoji.
[I was wrong. Bro, go on. Go on.]
Only then did Fu Yunshen type a reply.
[Does this count as liking her?]
He really couldn't understand his little friend.
Nie Chao had interacted with all kinds of women. Although he had been kicked away, he should have some experience.
He had to treat a dead horse like a living one.
[Seventh Young Master, you can't do this. You're the number one hedonist. Don't you know this?
I don't think she said this because she likes you. If she likes you, she'll let you raise her.
Girls like to be protected. Only then will they feel safe. So I think there's only one reason why she wants to raise you.]
Fu Yunshen raised a brow.
A second later, a second message followed.
[She might just want to be your father.]
"…"
**
At the Jiang family's old residence.
Ye Suhe was brewing tea.
When she heard the door open, she stopped what she was doing and looked up. "Moyuan, what's wrong? Who provoked you? Why do you look so upset?"
Jiang Moyuan never revealed his emotions. He always had a frosty expression.
But how could Ye Suhe not understand her son? Whenever he had any emotional fluctuations, she would be able to see it.
"Mom." Jiang Moyuan nodded slightly and sat down opposite Old Madam Jiang. He tugged at his tie in frustration and exhaled slowly. "Fu Yunshen isn't from the Fu family?"
Fu Mingcheng's words at the funeral were straightforward. Everyone in the socialite circle in Hu City wanted to step on Fu Yunshen.
But thinking about it carefully, if Fu Yunshen really had nothing to do with the Fu family, why would Master Fu treat him so well?
"In terms of blood, he is." Ye Suhe obviously knew some inside information. "But Fu Mingcheng is the head of the Fu family now. If he wants to chase Fu Yunshen out of the Fu family, then he's not from the Fu family."
Jiang Moyuan frowned. "Then whose son is he?"
Ye Suhe took a sip of tea. "The number one socialite in Hu City at that time, Fu Liuying."
"Fu Liuying?" Jiang Moyuan frowned even deeper. "There's such a person?"
"It's normal that you haven't heard of her." Ye Suhe was indifferent. "You weren't born yet. After you were born, Fu Liuying wasn't in Hu City anymore. She died, and no one mentioned it."
She didn't like Jiang Huapin, so she naturally didn't like Fu Liuying, who was close to Jiang Huapin.
Jiang Moyuan's expression relaxed.
So she was dead.
Then she really didn't have any status.
He was silent for a moment, then said, "Mom, I have someone I want to marry."
"Who?" Ye Suhe was a little surprised. "Which family's daughter is it?"
"It doesn't count." Jiang Moyuan massaged his temples. "I want to marry Ying Zijin."
Ye Suhe was stunned. "Who did you say you want to marry?"
Jiang Moyuan repeated, "Ying Zijin."
"Family Ying's adopted daughter?" Ye Suhe's expression darkened. "Moyuan, Mom will listen to you in everything. I won't let you mess around like this."
She put down the teacup heavily. "Mom won't say anything if you marry the daughter of a small family, but her? She's not even a socialite. "
Because of Ying Luwei, Ye Suhe had naturally heard of Ying Zijin's name many times.
She was just an adopted daughter and wasn't worth her attention.
"Mom, why do I need a political marriage?" Jiang Moyuan's expression was cold. "Can't I marry whoever I want?"
Ye Suhe's gaze darkened. A few seconds later, she said calmly, "Since that's what you think, Mom won't say anything else. Although she has left Family Ying, if you want to marry her, you still have to go to Family Ying."
As she spoke, she took the calendar from the side and handed it to Jiang Moyuan. "Pick a good date yourself."

On the other side, Fu Mingcheng had already picked up Su Lianghui at the airport.
Su Lianghui didn't even tell his biological daughter, Su Ruan, that he had come to Hu City from the capital.
"In-law, long time no see." Su Lianghui reached out to shake Fu Mingcheng's hand, his face full of smiles. "Congratulations, you've finally made it."
Fu Mingcheng also smiled. "You're too kind. It was all thanks to your help."
The moment the two sly old foxes met, they already had a tacit understanding.
"In-law, you're meeting the President of Bi Man Asia Pacific this afternoon?" Su Lianghui thought for a moment. "Then we might not have enough time."
Bi Man was a Fortune 500 company headquartered in Continent O. It was already condescending for the President of Asia Pacific to come personally for this collaboration.
Fu Mingcheng was already prepared to build a good relationship with this President of Bi Man Asia Pacific.
"It's fine." Fu Mingcheng waved his hand confidently. "I've already asked the company to take action. They'll release some announcements, just like in the entertainment industry. The netizens love to read about the affairs of the wealthy."
Su Minghui nodded. "In-law, I'll support you fully. Don't disappoint me."
If Fu Mingcheng failed, his status in the Su family would plummet. He might even lose and be chased out of the Su family.
The Su family's competition in the capital wasn't any less than the Fu family's.
"Don't worry." Fu Mingcheng's smile widened. "I won't let you suffer."
The two of them didn't return to the Fu family's house. Instead, they went to a cafe in the city center.
"I've already contacted that fellow." Fu Mingcheng put down his briefcase. "It's related to Old Master. He'll definitely come."
Upon hearing this, Su Lianghui nodded, leaned against the sofa, and closed his eyes to rest.
Twenty minutes later, Fu Mingcheng turned his head. "He's here."
Su Lianghui opened his eyes and looked over.
