Mrs. Fu, please be mindful of the appropriate boundaries.

Fu Hongxin knew Ye Tinghong wouldn't refuse to cooperate with them, and this time the discussion went quite smoothly, with everyone having their own interests. Fu Jingting had used Shengshi to deliver a heavy blow to the Ye family this time, so it's no wonder Ye Tinghong would target him.

However, Fu Hongxin didn't care about their past grievances, but Fu Pinxiu could not completely control the Fu family. So the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and that's absolutely true.

Xu Qingcheng was led inside by a waiter wearing a strapless short dress, and what she saw first were her voluptuous breasts and long, fair legs.

The black and gray marble is accented with low-saturation orange, and the stylish lighting fixtures add a touch of class.

Previously, Xu Qingcheng had no idea that the mastermind behind Jinyu Wumei was Fu Hongxin.

After all, such entertainment venues operate on the fringes of the law, and the Fu family would not allow such a disreputable industry to damage the reputation that the Fu family has worked so hard for over generations.

Fu Shiqing values ​​his reputation more than his life, and the older he gets, the more important it becomes, fearing that he will not be able to face his elders if he were to die. Therefore, the Fu family is very strict in this regard.

Even if Fu Hongxin is no longer qualified to join the Fu family, he can only work behind the scenes and not openly in this industry.

Xu Qingcheng wasn't entirely sure about her intentions when she came to see Fu Hongxin, but since he arranged to meet her on his turf, she could breathe a sigh of relief. If something happened to her, Fu Hongxin would definitely be implicated, and he wouldn't dare to make a big fuss here.

Even so, Xu Qingcheng dared not let her guard down.

"Oh, sister-in-law, it's really not easy to see you alone." Fu Hongxin pushed open the door of the private room and came in with a smile. His eyes fell on Xu Qingcheng's face, and he clicked his tongue twice in his heart.

No wonder Ye Tinghong couldn't forget it.

No wonder Fu Jingting left such a big loophole for her.

Some women are like the strongest liquor, exuding a fatal allure to men.

"Why isn't it easy? You come and go freely at the Shengshi construction site, don't you?" Xu Qingcheng curled her lips, not being polite with him at all, her words full of sarcasm. "You invited me here today just to exchange pleasantries?"

Fu Hongxin laughed and sat down next to Xu Qingcheng, putting his hand on her shoulder. "You've got guts. Coming here alone. Do you know that once you enter my Golden Domain Charm, if I'm not satisfied, no matter who you are, you won't get away unscathed?"

Xu Qingcheng's expression changed when he approached. He reeked of a strong mixture of tobacco and alcohol, as well as a woman's perfume. The combination of these smells made Xu Qingcheng unable to bear it, let alone his physical proximity.

Xu Qingcheng's expression remained unchanged. She glanced at Fu Hongxin's arm, politely brushed it aside, and then stood up, moving away from him. "Don't try to intimidate me. Do you think I came here unprepared? I spoke with Grandpa before I came."

She crossed her arms and looked at Fu Hongxin, her expression so open and honest that you couldn't tell she was lying at all.

Xu Qingcheng certainly didn't actually speak to the old man, but she knew that the old man had personally ordered Fu Hongxin to be expelled from the Fu family, so using the old man to pressure him was definitely the right thing to do.

As expected, Fu Hongxin's face darkened.

He lightly wiped his brow with his finger, deciding not to waste words with her. "I know you want to preserve the prosperous era, but you lack support. I can be your support."

Xu Qingcheng frowned slightly and looked at him, "Even if I need it, I might not necessarily ask you."

"You only have two paths now: choose me or choose the Ye family." Fu Hongxin smiled confidently. "Let's not even talk about how Ye Chengnian definitely doesn't want to help you. Even if Ye Tinghong manages to persuade them, given the Ye family's current situation, they can't help you much. But Shengshi can't afford to waste any more time."

Xu Qingcheng remained silent.

Fu Hongxin is right, but that doesn't mean she has to cooperate with him.

"Then I need to think about it carefully." Xu Qingcheng didn't refuse outright, as she was giving him face.

Although Fu Hongxin's proposal was tempting, and Xu Qingcheng had no intention of getting involved with him, she still wanted to know about Qingyao.

Seeing her ambiguous attitude, Fu Hongxin didn't say anything more. "Let's talk when you've thought it through. I also need to keep some leverage for myself."

"Fu Jingting and Tang Kejia went to Jincheng today. Where do you think they'll sleep tonight? My cousin is definitely the best candidate for the Tang family's son-in-law. I envy him, enjoying the blessings of having two women at once." Fu Hongxin said, his gaze sweeping over Xu Qingcheng, clicking his tongue twice. "Tang Kejia is quite a beauty too. I must say, your looks are really a bit..."

"I've made up my mind, I have to go now."

Xu Qingcheng interrupted Fu Hongxin, her face darkening. She now utterly loathed being associated with Tang Kejia. She clenched her nails into her palms, pinching them hard to control herself from having wild thoughts that would cloud her judgment.

Undeniably, I still tend to overthink and imagine all sorts of scenarios.

As Xu Qingcheng left, Fu Hongxin tilted his head, and his men followed her out.

The man leisurely filled his glass with wine, drinking with gusto. He glanced at the scar on his wrist, thinking of the woman's fragrance, the smoothness of her skin, and her alluring curves—truly exquisite.

Xu Qingcheng is a natural beauty; no wonder she can make Ye Tinghong and Fu Jingting so infatuated, and even make him restless.

Fu Hongxin smiled, looking at the cup on the table, but Xu Qingcheng didn't touch it.

So she thought he would make a move on her turf?

How could this be!

Xu Qingcheng went to get the car. She almost instinctively looked back, but didn't see anything. She started the car and drove off.

The city of Ancheng was bustling and vibrant at night, but as Xu Qingcheng drove, she couldn't help but think of Fu Jingting and Tang Kejia.

They went to Jincheng today.

Tang Kejia has visited Qide Group several times recently, and it's unclear what she's up to. If they want to acquire Shengshi's shares, Xu Qingcheng will essentially be kicked out of Shengshi, and regardless of Shengshi's fate, she won't be able to get involved.

My thoughts were once again diverted by Fu Hongxin's words. Could it be... could it be...?

Her heart suddenly tightened, and anxiety and frustration enveloped her. Xu Qingcheng suddenly sneered. What did it matter to her what they did? If they were, all the better. What reason would he have not to divorce her? And why should she keep this child?

Xu Qingcheng was thinking haphazardly when she turned at the traffic light intersection. She had only driven a short distance when suddenly two beams of light from the opposite direction rushed straight at her. The light blinded her, and Xu Qingcheng jerked the steering wheel!

"what!"

Tang Kejia exclaimed in surprise, and the waiter quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry, Miss Tang, it was an accident..."

"It's okay." Tang Kejia took a tissue to wipe the coffee stains off her skirt, and finally sighed, "I'll go change my clothes."

She looked at Fu Jingting, "May I borrow your room?"

Fu Jingting glanced at the stains on her shirt and handed the room key to Tang Kejia.
