Summer Kiss

Chapter 139 Find him to act
She covered her mouth and chuckled to herself; it turned out that even Fu Xicheng had his moments of being outmaneuvered.

When she got home, she began to organize the contents of her shopping bags, categorizing everything one by one.

After tidying everything up, she put several boxes of cream puffs together, took a picture, and posted it on her WeChat Moments.

...

Meanwhile, Fu Xicheng arranged to meet Lu Zhiqian and Xie Linzhou at the Twilight Bar to discuss some matters.

As soon as he entered the private room, Xie Linzhou couldn't help but tease him, "Xi Cheng, your girlfriend posted on WeChat Moments, aren't you going to post one too?"

Fu Xicheng stared blankly. He had just been kicked out of his home by Jiang Yuning, and he couldn't help but want to find out what she had posted on her WeChat Moments.

He opened his WeChat Moments and couldn't help but laugh when he saw Jiang Yuning's post.

Xie Linzhou clicked his tongue twice. Is this what a man who has fallen in love is like?

Look, Fu Xicheng is almost dumbfounded.

"Is there something you need from us?" Lu Zhiqian asked directly.

Fu Xicheng turned off his phone, and his smiling face instantly turned serious.

There were some things he needed to get done quickly, and he worried that something unexpected might happen if he continued to delay.

“I have already asked Xu Yansheng to start investigating Shijiu Group. In the meantime, I need your help to put pressure on them.”

Xie Linzhou shifted his long legs and changed his sitting posture. "I noticed that Shijiu Group's stock price dropped quite a bit today. Xi Cheng, are you sure you need our help?"

The stock market downturn has only just begun.

What he wanted was for the Shijiu Group to go completely bankrupt.

Fu Xicheng curled his lips and slowly swirled the wine glass in his hand. "I only need you to release some information. You don't need to get involved in anything else. I'll handle it."

Lu Zhiqian rested his fingers on his chin and remained silent for a few seconds.

"Then why did you call us over? You could have just given us a call."

Fu Xicheng lowered his eyes and turned the expensive watch on his wrist. He smirked and said, "Do you think I called you out because of the Shijiu Group? I was just kicked out of my house by my girlfriend."

Was he kicked out of the house by Jiang Yuning?
Xie Linzhou could imagine how unpleasant Fu Xicheng's expression must have looked at that moment.

He couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Did you upset her again?"

Fu Xicheng placed one hand on the armrest of the sofa, while pinching his brow with the other.

“She saw my grandfather today. If she hadn’t, I would have stayed at her house tonight. It’s my fault too. If I hadn’t suggested going shopping, I wouldn’t have run into him.”

Upon hearing this, Xie Linzhou sat up straight and leaned forward slightly.

"Holy crap, you guys have already met the parents?"

Fu Xicheng leaned back on the sofa and sighed.

"What's the point of meeting the parents? My grandpa pretended to sprain his ankle and fell next to her car so Ningning could help him up. Do you think my girlfriend wouldn't be terrified?"

Xie Linzhou lowered his eyes. Grandpa Fu really had some skills; these days even people have learned how to stage accidents.

He's trying to stage an accident, isn't he afraid of ruining his granddaughter-in-law's life?

He pressed on with interest, "And then?"

Fu Xicheng took a sip from his wine glass and then helplessly shrugged.

"His sudden appearance completely disrupted my plans. I dropped Ningning off at her doorstep, but she kicked me out." Xie Linzhou raised his wine glass to Fu Xicheng, then drank it all in one gulp.

As Fu Xicheng's good brother, he had to comfort him.

"This is just a minor incident. Miss Jiang isn't really ignoring you."

Fu Xicheng was well aware of this, but the fact that he could no longer stay at her house, which he had previously been able to do, was a huge disappointment that he found hard to accept.

He leaned back on the sofa, a bitter smile on his lips. "I'm just feeling a little sad."

What's bothering you?
Xie Linzhou didn't understand; he had never seen Fu Xicheng look so gloomy when he was single.

He poured Fu Xicheng a full glass of red wine, then patted him on the shoulder, "Come on, drink more wine, you won't think about these things when you drink too much."

Fu Xicheng closed his eyes, and suddenly, a bold idea popped into his mind.

Xie Linzhou is right. Drinking too much can indeed lead to reckless behavior. If he gets drunk, he can just go to Jiang Yuning's house and refuse to leave.

Thinking of this, Fu Xicheng suddenly laughed out loud.

Xie Linzhou didn't understand. He and Lu Zhiqian quickly exchanged a glance. Fu Xicheng's laughter just now was too creepy.

Fu Xicheng raised his head; Xie Linzhou's words had given him a new perspective.

He really needs to thank him.

"Thank you, Xie Linzhou. You're right, I should drink more now."

"When I get drunk later, I'll need your help to take me to Jiang Yuning's house."

Xie Linzhou suddenly realized that this was a possible tactic. Fu Xicheng was too cunning; he clearly wanted to stay at Jiang Yuning's house tonight.

Xie Linzhou started asking for benefits before even doing the job. He said, "How do you plan to thank me after it's done?"

Fu Xicheng raised an eyebrow. He had always known about Xie Linzhou and Meng Shuyu's relationship, which was lukewarm and hadn't made much progress.

He made a startling statement: "After it's all done, I'll pack you up and send you to Meng Shuyu's bed."

Xie Linzhou was stunned. What had he just heard?
Is this what good brothers should say?
Fu Xicheng wanted to kill him.

His eyes blazed with fury, his expression unusually grave. "Fu Xicheng, are you insane? Do you want Meng Shuyu to kill me?"

Fu Xicheng held up his wine glass and slowly sipped his wine.

He smiled slightly, revealing a hint of confidence and thoughtfulness. "I'm not crazy. I want to bring you two together."

"Xie Linzhou, it's time to show off your acting skills. Remember to act your part perfectly and don't give anything away, or I'll make you regret it."

Xie Linzhou was not happy at the moment, and his face immediately tightened. He tugged at his tie, looking very irritated.

"Why didn't you ask Lu Zhiqian to help you to Miss Jiang's house? You never think of me when there are good things to do, but you always think of me when it comes to these troublesome and difficult matters."

Fu Xicheng knew very well who was the most suitable actor, and he had high hopes for Xie Linzhou.

“I’m afraid Lu Zhiqian will give me away. Besides, if Ningning sees her boss helping me over, she might not even dare to open the door.”

"Xie Linzhou, you're not even going to help me with this small favor?"

Xie Linzhou pouted in dissatisfaction, revealing a hint of reluctance, "You still think I'm easy to bully."

Fu Xicheng is the kind of person who dislikes taking advantage of others. He especially likes to give others a little something in return, and then that person will take the initiative to help him.

He placed the wine glass on the table, casually crossed his slender legs, and exuded an effortless elegance.

"Xie Linzhou, once this is done, just say the word if you want anything."
