Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan
Chapter 148 The Domineering Younger Uncle and the Gentle, Independent School Beauty (2)
Fu Jingheng leaned back in his chair, the light illuminating the lower half of his face, obscuring his expression.
"Miss Gu, do you mean you want to unilaterally dissolve your engagement with Fu Yi?"
The man's voice was deep and cold, carried by the evening breeze blowing in from the window, making one shiver.
Xiao Xiao stiffened her neck and nodded stubbornly, "Yes, Mr. Fu."
Fu Jingheng sat up straight in his chair, resting his hands on his chin, his dark, gilded eyes scanning Xiao Xiao through his glasses with a scrutinizing gaze.
"I think Miss Gu has come to the wrong person. What does your marriage with Fu Yi have to do with me?"
Xiao Xiao steadied her somewhat weak body, her attitude respectful and composed, "I know, this marriage was approved by you, so naturally, annulment would require your approval."
After a long silence,
"Since you already know, just name your price," Fu Jingheng handed a blank check to Xiaoxiao.
Xiao Xiao stared at it for a long time before slowly reaching out her hand to the check.
The moment the knuckles touched the check, the other end of the check was pressed down by the slender fingertips.
“Ms. Gu, we are all smart people. I hope you will know how to assess the situation and fill in a number that satisfies both parties.”
Fu Jingheng is indeed a shrewd businessman; he always weighs the pros and cons before doing anything.
Xiao Xiao's parents were just small business owners, and her marriage to Fu Yi was nothing more than a fabricated arranged marriage. The only reason she caught Fu Jingheng's eye was because she was easy to manipulate.
A nephew without powerful in-laws can't cause much trouble, no matter how capable he is, let alone Fu Yi, that good-for-nothing scoundrel.
Fu Jingheng is a contradictory person. He hopes that someone can help him to expand the Fu family, but he is also afraid that the person will become uncontrollable and break free from his control.
He likes to keep everything under control, both in his career and in his relationships, to the point that he is still unmarried at the age of thirty.
Emotions, something elusive and difficult to control, are what Fu Jingheng hates most.
“Mr. Fu…I understand.”
The girl's head was lowered, her thin, narrow shoulders trembling as she suppressed the intense sorrow in her heart.
Fu Yi frowned as he looked at her, his fingertips tracing the wristwatch. His tone softened considerably. "It's getting late, Miss Gu, you should go back and rest too."
The crisp sound of a door closing came from behind her. The evening breeze swirled freely in the large room, carrying away some of the medicinal scent that had been emanating from the girl.
Fu Jingheng frowned as he looked at the dark, cloud-covered night sky, then got up to close the window.
The blank check on the table fluttered to the ground as Fu Jingheng stood up. Fu Jingheng looked at the check with some surprise.
She didn't take it?
A bolt of lightning ripped through the sky, and as the heavy rain poured down, Fu Jingheng subconsciously looked out the window. There, a white figure was staggering and running in the rain.
Fu Jingheng kept his brows furrowed as he watched Xiaoxiao leave, until she suddenly disappeared from sight. Only then did Fu Jingheng rush to the balcony in a panic.
"Second Master, it's raining heavily outside, why did you come out?" Butler Cao stopped the anxious Fu Jingheng.
"Quick, find a lifebuoy! Hurry, she's fallen into the pool!" Fu Jingheng couldn't care less about anything else; after all, it was a life, and he couldn't just watch it disappear.
Fu Jingheng broke free from Steward Cao's restraints and ran towards the pond. Seeing Xiaoxiao gradually sinking to the bottom, he jumped into the pond to save her without waiting for Steward Cao to call for help.
The strong wind swept up the rain, quickly engulfing the two figures.
Butler Cao watched as the pool gradually returned to calm, his heart sinking. It wasn't until Fu Jingheng carried Xiaoxiao out of the pool that his heart finally settled, and he quickly ordered people to pull the two of them ashore.
……
"you're awake?"
Xiao Xiao opened her drowsy eyes and saw Fu Jingheng's face, which resembled Fu Yi's.
Fu Yi and Fu Jingheng look very similar, especially their eyebrows and eyes. However, Fu Jingheng always has a cold face and wears glasses, which hides his deep, captivating eyes.
Now, Fu Jingheng, dressed only in a casual shirt and without his glasses, looks even more like Fu Yi.
"Fu Yi?"
Xiao Xiao spoke with difficulty, her tone tinged with grievance and sorrow.
It was obvious that Fu Jingheng's figure stiffened for a moment when Xiaoxiao said Fu Yi's name.
Fu Jingheng crossed his arms and tapped his elbow impatiently with his fingertips. "Miss Gu, please take a closer look before calling for help!"
The somewhat shy girl in front of him turned pale instantly when she heard him speak, "Mr...Mr. Fu."
Fu Jingheng grunted unhappily, then remembered the matter of asking Butler Cao to investigate. Looking at the girl on the bed who looked like she could be blown away by a gust of wind, he suddenly felt a little guilty.
“What Fu Yi did was a bit outrageous, and I, as his uncle, also bear some responsibility.”
Fu Yi glanced at the girl, who remained silent with her head down, and felt somewhat irritated. It seemed he would have to find a successor again; this Fu Yi was simply not good enough.
“This is a card with unlimited credit,” Fu Jingheng said, taking a black card out of his shirt pocket and handing it to Xiaoxiao.
He hates problems that can't be solved, and of course, the simplest solution is to use money.
Therefore, she will definitely be able to see my sincerity.
Seeing that the girl hesitated to reach out, Fu Jingheng's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. "You are not allowed to refuse. This is the money for the things you have, and it is also the compensation you deserve."
The girl was startled by his words and hesitated before taking the card. She wanted to say something more, but Fu Jingheng decisively stopped her, saying, "I'm not that scary. Although I am Fu Yi's elder, you are no longer Fu Yi's fiancée. You don't have to treat me like Fu Yi."
"But...Mr. Fu," Xiaoxiao wanted to say more.
"No buts," Fu Jingheng said coldly as he stood up, picked up his coat, and instructed Butler Cao, "Go and pack Miss Gu's luggage. She'll move to the Jiujiang Building tomorrow."
"Jiujiang Building? Isn't that your... Second Master..."
Fu Jingheng glanced at Butler Cao, who awkwardly shut his mouth, but kept giving Xiaoxiao meaningful glances.
[Yaoyao: Wow, how do you know Fu Jingheng will definitely let you move in with him?]
Fu Jingheng is a suspicious man by nature. He doesn't trust me, this ticking time bomb, fearing I might say something detrimental to the Fu family. Given my status, it wouldn't look good to others, so he has to do it himself.
[Yaoyao: Sigh, it's a pity. The plot next door needs further planning.]
Xiao Xiao glanced at the man's handsome profile, a slight smile playing on her lips. "You see, I'm moving in with him tomorrow."
Yao Yao thought Xiao Xiao was just bragging and didn't pay much attention, instead focusing on playing games in her mind.
Xiao Xiao returned to Butler Cao with an embarrassed expression, but still refused.
The girl's voice was soft and weak, and obviously had no effect.
Fu Jingheng was still convinced that Xiaoxiao was up to something, and repeatedly emphasized that Butler Cao should personally pick her up so that she wouldn't leave anything suspicious behind, and that Xiaoxiao shouldn't have too much contact with others.
