Undercover...

An Ying blinked, thinking to herself: Sure enough... it's probably that Butler Zhao.

I heard that Fu Chengli's bodyguard is a confidant of Butler Zhao.

Butler Zhao was also a trusted confidant of Old Master Fu for many years.

The bond between this grandfather and grandson is so strong that it's even stronger than that between Fu Chengli and his biological father, Fu Haidong.

An Yingxin understood.

She thought to herself: Fu Chengli's willingness to help resolve the negative news surrounding the engagement banquet and investigate An Weiping for buying smear articles about his daughter must all be for the sake of the Fu family.

If either of these two incidents escalates, An Ying will become the biggest victim. But why would a wealthy family care about the fate of an ordinary person like her? As long as An Weiping can't escape responsibility, he will inevitably cause trouble for the Fu family in the end.

What incredible luck she had to get a favor from Young Master Fu!

But this small favor isn't enough.

Just now at the Fu family home, Old Master Fu's disdain for An Weiping's family was palpable.

The old man would rather watch the family fight amongst themselves than get involved in anything.

An Ying pondered: "So you deliberately let the old man know that I participated in the birthday banquet, hoping to give me a chance to show off, and at the same time, to distance yourself from An Weiping and Ping Xiaoxiao in the old man's eyes?"

An Ying looked down and fiddled with the large claws of the Boston lobster on the plate in front of her.

“Old Master Fu forbids anyone from the An family from touching any of the Fu family’s businesses. After this engagement banquet incident, his impression of me is definitely not good anymore. If you let me join Fu’s Group, you are risking offending the old man.”

"If I join the Fu family in the future, the old man will definitely object. So I have to make a good impression on him at this birthday banquet, right?"

"Of course, my performance in front of the old man is not just about getting a position in the Fu family, but about learning to establish myself in this industry and become strong. Otherwise, I will always face the dilemma of Lu Qiyao tripping me up and me being unable to fight back."

An Ying continued her analysis to herself.

Fu Chengli nodded slightly, without offering any further explanation, but a smile still appeared on his lips.

She was smart enough that she didn't need any further explanation from him.

In fact, Fu Chengli hadn't considered that much.

He just wanted to get the person to his side as soon as possible.

An Ying was grateful.

At this moment, I wish I could give Fu Chengli a big hug.

But she couldn't do that.

I must be more careful about how I interact with Fu Chengli in the future, and I must not cause him any trouble.

An Ying's gaze was firm.

After her experience with Lu Qiyao, An Ying finally understood: men are unreliable, and she has to rely on herself for the rest of her life. Focusing on her career is the only way out.

Fu Chengli has never liked to meddle in other people's business. He saved her to the hospital last time and is willing to help her again this time, which is already rare.

She couldn't repay kindness with enmity, lest it damage his relationship with the old man.

On the surface, it's not appropriate for her to have too deep a relationship with the Fu family, as it could be used against her by those with ulterior motives.

An Weiping's recent purchase of smear articles is a case in point.

More than 20 years ago, he got into trouble and the Fu family kicked him out of their home.

This time he caused trouble again, and the Fu family stepped in to eradicate his dirty secrets at the source.

She had witnessed firsthand the Fu family's ruthless methods.

However, what can she do when Fu Chengli is her future boss?

In private, you still have to curry favor with those who are powerful enough.

An Ying rested her chin on her hands and blinked her beautiful eyes, as if countless little stars were dancing in them.

She smiled and said to Fu Chengli, "My handsome and kind cousin, how can I ever repay you?"

Fu Chengli pursed his thin lips slightly, his eyes like a deep, unfathomable lake.

His every move was confident and composed, like a hunter about to catch his prey, with everything under his control.

At that moment, An Ying caught a glimpse of a gloomy black shadow out of the corner of her eye.

A dark figure blocked the floor-to-ceiling window of the dining table where the two were eating.

She turned her head and was startled.

Lu Qiyao's cold and gloomy face was pressed against the window, staring at her menacingly.

His expression was like that of a vengeful ghost, his eyes darting back and forth between An Ying and Fu Chengli.

Outside the restaurant window, pedestrians on the roadside turned their heads to look.

A little boy passing by, holding his mother's hand, pointed at Lu Qiyao and asked in a childish voice:

"Mom, is this person unable to afford food and can only watch from outside the window? How pitiful..."

The little boy's mother smiled awkwardly, quickly covered her child's mouth, and hurried away.

An Ying was speechless: "Big brother, what exactly do you want to do..."

Fu Chengli acted as if nothing had happened, calmly finishing his steak and then gesturing towards the waiter.

A few seconds later, the restaurant manager jogged over, looking uneasy.

It's rare for the renowned Young Master Fu to come to his restaurant, so why does he look so displeased while eating...?

The restaurant manager leaned forward and asked nervously:

"Mr. Fu, how is today's food? Is it not to your liking? We can remake it for you free of charge, or even give you the meal for free..."

Fu Chengli took a sip of water, pointed out the window, and said slowly:

"Get rid of this person, they're ruining my appetite."
