Chapter 203 A vague sense of unease
Night fell quietly, and the Fuyuan Restaurant was brightly lit. Everyone gathered around the large round table in a private room, the atmosphere relaxed and cheerful. Gu Yichen and Lu Ling'er sat close together, occasionally chatting with Ji Junche beside them. Yun Ruoxi and Yun Ruolin sat opposite them, their eyes full of smiles, and they would occasionally exchange a few words. Wen Yuan and Feng Xinying sat near Feng Jingsu, the three of them chatting and laughing, discussing the recent situation in Nanyang.
"Ling'er, this cooperation is so important to Nanyang, especially your willingness to provide technical support, which is really a big help to us! Let Yichen help you drink." Wen Yuan raised his glass and said happily.
Ling'er smiled slightly and also picked up the cup: "Master Wen, you are too polite. It is our duty to contribute to Nanyang."
"That's right, Ling'er's idea is really good. It has broadened our horizons a lot." Feng Xinying also echoed, "Especially the suggestion of separate management. That really saves us a lot of trouble."
Feng Jingsu nodded gently, his tone tinged with admiration. "Miss Ling'er's insights are indeed unique. Independent management can not only avoid future disputes, but also make each party's interests more clear. If the Zhennan Palace can cooperate with your Taoyuan Villa, it will definitely be a good thing with only one benefit and no harm."
Gu Yichen raised the corner of his mouth slightly and interrupted, "That's exactly what we thought. We can teach you the technology, but the final execution and management still depends on you."
At this moment, Feng Jingsu's gaze fell on Lu Ling'er, and his tone of voice seemed to have a hint of meaning: "Miss Ling'er's eyes... remind me of an old friend."
Lu Linger's heart tightened, but she remained calm and replied calmly, "Mr. Feng San may have remembered it wrongly. I'm just an ordinary person."
Feng Jingsu smiled slightly and did not continue to ask questions. Instead, he turned to discuss the details of the cooperation with Gu Yichen. Although he did not delve into it, his thoughtful eyes still fell on Lu Linger from time to time.
Wen Yuan broke the slightly tense atmosphere and said with a smile, "Ling'er, I heard that the farmland and breeding grounds at your Taoyuan Villa are very spectacular. Xinying, Jingsu, and I have always wanted to go and see them. Can you take us with you?"
Lu Linger smiled and nodded: "Of course, Third Master Feng, Sister Xinying, and Master Wen, whenever you want to go, I will take you there anytime."
Everyone laughed continuously, and the atmosphere became relaxed again. Ji Junche and Wen Yuan talked about the livelihood issues in Nanyang, while Feng Xinying talked about interesting things in the capital with Yun Ruoxi and Yun Ruolin.
Yet, Lu Ling'er still felt a sense of unease. Although she appeared relaxed and at ease with everyone, she remained wary of Feng Jingsu's probing gaze. She understood that the ties of family and the undercurrents of fate were ultimately inescapable.
At the end of the meal, Lu Linger excused herself, claiming to be feeling a little tired, and Gu Yichen accompanied her. Feng Jingsu watched them leave quietly, his eyes filled with deep thought and inquiry.
After returning to the clinic, Lu Ling'er stood by the window, gazing at the nightfall streets, a complex mix of emotions welling up within her. She knew Feng Jingsu's suspicions would only deepen, and that her secrets with Gu Yichen and the Ji family would be difficult to conceal forever. The bond between her family weighed heavily on her, as if no matter how she tried to escape, the gears of fate had already begun to turn.
She must be more cautious, as the road ahead seems destined to be turbulent.
