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

He gripped Xu Qingcheng's wrist so tightly that Xu Qingcheng felt like her bones were about to break, and the pain was excruciating. "Let go."

Fu Jingting wouldn't let go; his eyes were dark and frightening, and his grip became uncontrollable, causing Xu Qingcheng to almost give in to the pain.

"Let go! You've squeezed Miss Xu's wrist so hard it's red. Let's talk this out." Wen Fei reached out and grabbed Fu Jingting's arm.

It's unclear what words struck a nerve, but the man obediently released his grip. Wen Fei then tightly grasped Fu Jingting's arm, looking up at Xu Qingcheng, "I'm sorry, Miss Xu, are you alright?!"

She apologized on his behalf?!

Ah!

Xu Qingcheng sneered, a sense of absurdity washing over her. She stared at their intertwined arms, ignoring every word they said, slammed the car door shut, started the engine, and drove off without a moment's hesitation.

The red sports car quickly disappeared into the underground parking space.

Fu Jingting leaned against the pillar beside him, silently shaking his head vigorously, then stared intently at the crimson taillights of the vehicle.

Wen Fei had already quietly released his arm and asked with concern, "You don't look well, is your head hurting?"

Fu Jingting looked at her, seemingly only then noticing Wen Fei.

He had cold sweat on his forehead, and his eyes were very dark, the kind of dark that has no light.

really.

Wen Fei had taken care of him for two years and knew more about his condition than anyone else. His headaches were not a physical problem but a psychological one. He had them frequently when he first started rehabilitation, but they stopped appearing after a while.

The doctor said he was recovering quickly.

Of course, it might happen occasionally, but at least Wen Fei hasn't seen it again.

"How long have you had this headache? What did Lu Jingzhou say?" Wen Fei asked him.

Fu Jingting looked at her, but didn't answer her question directly. Instead, he looked to her side and asked, "Where's your friend?"

As soon as he asked, Wen Fei knew what he wanted to know. She pinched herself hard with her fingers and smiled calmly, "Jiang Xin, she had to leave first. I'm sorry, she was away on a business trip and didn't attend the banquet for our wedding reception. I didn't know she would misunderstand our relationship. I just explained it to her."

"Wen Fei, I don't want this misunderstanding to happen again." Fu Jingting looked at Wen Fei, his voice low and heavy. "Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand. I didn't explain things clearly to my friends this time." Wen Fei looked up, her expression sincere and apologetic. "I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

"You've been looking for Xu Qingcheng?" Fu Jingting's sharp gaze was fixed on Wen Fei's face.

Some things I had overlooked in the past, her questions, pierced my ears with each stab.

"No, I'm not familiar with Miss Xu, and I don't have her contact information." Wen Fei looked at him innocently and with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong?"

Fu Jingting remained silent, his face grim, his gaze fixed coldly on her face, as if trying to pierce through her skin to see into her depths. Wen Fei's eyes flickered slightly, and she exclaimed, "Has Miss Xu misunderstood our relationship? I'll go explain to her; it's completely a misunderstanding!"

"No need," Fu Jingting refused, his voice cool and rational. "I'll explain things to Uncle Wen. Letting him know the truth will put his mind at ease, rather than just guessing."

At this moment, all Fu Jingting could think of was Xu Qingcheng's cold and trembling face. He could say anything outrageous to her, and when he saw her eyes blazing with anger, he felt like he wanted to chop him up.

But that only applies to him.

Fu Jingting couldn't accept her suffering any grievances in front of others. For example, when she spoke cautiously to Zhong Wanxiu, her careful and cautious manner still made him uncomfortable.

Let alone outsiders.

Call him hypocritical or whatever, even if he hates her to the core, the only one who can make her cry is himself.

Fu Jingting closed his eyes briefly, unwilling to admit that he was responsible for this outcome, but he couldn't help but feel resentful.

Wen Fei, naturally, was the first to be affected.

Wen Fei's face twitched slightly; she had to strain to keep her expression from cracking.

"What you said makes sense, and I will explain it to my dad." Wen Fei forced a smile.

Fu Jingting turned and walked towards his car.

Wen Fei hurriedly followed, "Give me a ride."

Having no reason to refuse, I simply agreed.

Wen Fei walked around to the passenger side and opened the car door. Fu Jingting glanced at her and said in a very indifferent tone, "You sit in the back."

Wen Fei loosened her grip on the doorknob, took a deep breath, and walked to the back.

His temples were throbbing, and his heart rate seemed to be racing. Fu Jingting gripped the steering wheel with both hands, closed his eyes tightly, and took deep breaths to calm his racing heart.

Sitting in the back, Wen Fei watched him steady the car before starting it and couldn't help but say, "If this happens frequently, you should try to have a driver in the future."

Fu Jingting didn't respond. His mind was filled with the image of Xu Qingcheng staring at him coldly just now, and he remained completely calm.

I drove the car out of the underground parking space. "I have something to do. I'll take you to the side of the road to get a taxi."

Wen Fei tightened her grip on her lap and hummed in response. She bit her lip and glanced sideways at the objects rushing past outside the car window. "By the way, weren't you going to introduce Dr. Lu to me? I'm on the day shift these days, so I have time in the evenings."

Fu Jingting glanced at Wen Fei through the rearview mirror and heard her laugh, "I also hope to bring a son-in-law back to Dad before he dies."

His tense nerves seemed to finally relax a little, and Fu Jingting gave a faint "hmm".

Xu Qingcheng drove straight to X Unknown, and when she stopped, she stepped on the brakes very hard, making a screech sound. The brakes were very effective and also quite frightening.

With a cold expression, she entered X's office area and went straight to Xie Yin's office.

The door opened, and Xie Yin was startled when he saw Xu Qingcheng. "What's with that expression? Are you trying to eat me?"

"I've passed the preliminary round, but my ranking isn't very high. I'll have to be on my guard for every round from now on. There are a few companies I need to pay special attention to; I've made notes..."

"Stop!" Xie Yin gestured for a halt. "I told you, this time you have complete authority. You don't need to report to me anymore. The key point is..."

"My car!"

Xu Qingcheng, "..."

She took out her phone and handed it directly to Xie Yin.

"The collision was quite serious. We've had our legal department contact him to request further compensation." Xu Qingcheng tore off a piece of paper and left Fu Jingting's phone number on it.

This is not just serious, it's extremely serious!

After Xu Qingcheng finished giving her instructions, she was about to go back when Xie Yin called out to her, "Wait a minute, give me the keys, the car keys. I'm not Xie if I don't smash this car to pieces."

"How childish of you! You'll still have to pay for it if you break it!"

"I can afford to pay for it."

Xu Qingcheng was speechless and tossed the car keys to him.

"Take one of the company cars first," Xie Yin said, then asked her, "Are you alright? Did he bully you?"

"What could possibly happen to me?! If he bullies me, wouldn't I call the police?" Xu Qingcheng smiled, went out to the administration office to get her car keys, and left.

When Fu Jingting called, Xu Qingcheng immediately hung up, blocked him, and blocked his WeChat account as well.

The phone finally went silent. Xu Qingcheng took a deep breath and rolled down the car window a little. The night breeze blew in, neither too hot nor too cold, just right for this season.

Facing the wind, she smiled slightly. Actually, there was nothing she couldn't get through. She had gotten through the past two years this way, and if she continued, things would only get better, not worse. How could she have gotten herself into his melodramatic love affair? Xu Qingcheng, you're really getting worse as you get older.

As soon as we entered the house, Xuyuan rushed over and hugged her, exclaiming, "Mommy, Mommy's home!"

Looking at the lively little one, Xu Qingcheng bent down to kiss her forehead and pinch her little cheeks. "Does Yuanyuan still have a fever today?"

"No. Yuanyuan is taking her medicine." Xu Yuan said, pouting, "The medicine is bitter. Auntie will give me something sweet."

Xu Qingcheng reached out and pinched her little nose. This little one was so delicate. When she fell down and got up, she would cry out in pain and ask Xu Qingcheng to blow on her nose. When she was bitten by a mosquito, she insisted on having a band-aid on her nose. She would cry her eyes out because she thought the medicine was too bitter, and even candy didn't work.

I really don't know who he took after.

Xu Qingcheng confirmed with her aunt that Xu Yuan was perfectly fine today and had no fever. She breathed a sigh of relief and called Pang Shenghua to schedule a time.

He couldn't get through to Fu Jingting by phone, and he was furious.

Fu Jingting frowned after checking the vehicle's location on his phone.

Xie Yin was driving his car and really wanted to crash it somewhere. This car was far inferior to his own, but it was still passable. He would drive it for a few days and then send it to the 4S store.

Xie Mingchen looked at the car his father had driven back and asked, "Dad, why did you buy this color car?"

"It doesn't look good?"

"It looks good." Xie Mingchen hesitated for a moment, then said, "But I think you should be more mature. What did you say to Sun Qingxue's mother at the parent-teacher conference last time?"

"Who? Sun Qingxue's mother?" Xie Yin looked bewildered. "I don't remember. What's wrong?"

Xie Mingchen said, "...In short, be more careful. Don't drive such brightly colored cars, and don't wear flashy clothes. Don't smile at people indiscriminately. I don't want anyone rushing up to me and saying that my dad seduced his mother."

Xie Yin, "..." Damn.

"I don't even know who Sun Qingxue's mother is! I'm just attending a parent-teacher conference, who am I trying to seduce?" Xie Yin snapped.

Xie Mingchen was too lazy to say more. Even half of his father didn't know what was going on, but his face was indeed very attractive, and he looked like a womanizer with ill intentions.

Xie Mingchen stood in front of the car and looked at his own face reflected in the car window. The young man's face was beautiful and delicate, and his eyebrows were lively, just like Xie Yin's.

Brother Chen sighed, thinking that in the future... he would most likely grow up to look like that too.

When Fu Jingting arrived at the Xie family villa, he was furious. He stared at the place with a cold expression, his blood boiling, wishing he could raze the villa to the ground.

When the doorbell rang, Xie Yin was wearing an apron and holding a spatula, preparing to cook. The nanny wasn't here today, so he had to feed that fussy brat and himself.

He called out to Xie Mingchen, who was doing his homework in the room, "Go see who it is!"

Xie Mingchen stood at the door and looked at the person appearing in the video. "Dad, Aunt Qingcheng's ex-husband." Xu Yuan's father.

Xie Mingchen felt that the title "ex-husband" was better... Xu Yuan's father...

"what?"

Xie Yin dropped the spatula to check, and sure enough, it was true.

"What's he doing here?"

Xie Mingchen gave him a look that said, "You ask me? Who should I ask?"

Xie Yin had no intention of inviting Fu Jingting in. Seeing that Fu Jingting's ribs ached, and now his heart was starting to ache too.

She took off her apron and handed it to Xie Mingchen, saying, "Go check the pot. Turn off the heat when it's cooked."

Xie Yin entered the courtyard but didn't open the gate for Fu Jingting. He looked at him through the fence and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Where is Xu Qingcheng?" Fu Jingting's face was stiff and cold. He had never been so embarrassed in his life, having to go to a man's house to find a woman.

"Go find her at her house... Why are you looking for me?"

He stopped mid-sentence, then abruptly turned back to her. "What do you want with her? Tell me what you have to say. She doesn't want to see you."

His forehead was taut, and his face was menacing.

Needless to say, given Fu Jingting's current state, Xie Yin felt it was wise of him not to open the door.

Fu Jingting looked at him coldly, "Xie Yin, there's no future for you two."

Xie Yin looked at him calmly, "It seems I have a better chance of winning than you right now."

"Is that so?!" Fu Jingting asked in a very soft voice, his eyebrows raised, the broken brow peak revealing a chilling ruthlessness.

When Xie Yin returned, Xie Mingchen curiously approached his father and asked, "Dad, what's he doing here?"

"I didn't do anything." Xie Yin touched his nose, speaking earnestly, "Son, you can't mess with beautiful women; the consequences can be dire!"

Xie Mingchen, "???"

……

When Tang Jinchao arrived at FUC, he saw a woman leaving his office and couldn't help but take another look.

"That person just now looked familiar." Tang Jinchao couldn't remember who it was for a moment, but unfortunately Fu Jingting didn't care about him.

Tang Jinchao didn't bother to ask any more questions. He pushed up his glasses, sat down on the sofa opposite him, and said, "There's a foreign fund transferring its business to China, specifically targeting the high-tech industry."

In other words, we are in a highly competitive situation with them.

Tang Jinchao handed him the documents, saying, "Fu Hongxin's sentence will be coming to an end at the end of the year, so be careful."

Fu Jingting picked up the documents and looked through them. After his incident, Fu Pinxiu took action against Fu Hongxin. However, Fu Hongxin got away quickly and cleaned himself up. He was sentenced to three years on a minor charge.

Fu Minghui has two sons. The elder son, Fu Jinyuan, has been living abroad and there has been no news of him for the past two years. When Fu Jingting got into trouble and his money flowed overseas, Fu Pinxiu suspected that it was related to Fu Jinyuan.

"I understand," Fu Jingting nodded.

Tang Jinchao looked at his face and smiled, "Now that your face is better, let's get together tonight. Gu Feibai booked a place at the Royal City Club. It's been a long time since we've gotten together."

He paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Bring your family members."

Fu Jingting lifted his eyelids to look at him, and asked in an annoyed tone, "Who did you bring?"

Tang Jinchao didn't take the bait, only saying, "After you got engaged to Dr. Wen, none of us really got to know each other properly."

Fu Jingting stared at him. "I'm not engaged to Wen Fei."

Tang Jinchao raised an eyebrow, seemingly unsurprised.

Fu Jingting felt irritated when he saw his expression. He had said the same thing to Gu Feibai before, and only now did he realize how troublesome it was.

"Add one more person, I'll invite Lu Jingzhou over."

"Lu Jingzhou?" Tang Jinchao paused. The Lu family was not in their circle and was involved in military and political affairs, which was very complicated. Tang Jinchao did have some acquaintance with him.

Fu Jingting didn't want to explain to everyone he met. Since Wen Fei was willing to meet and talk with Lu Jingzhou, that was perfect.

Fu Jingting didn't care what Lu Jingzhou thought.

As Tang Jinchao left, he finally remembered who the woman who had left Fu Jingting's office was. "How do you know Ling Jiajia?"

Not getting a response from Fu Jingting, Tang Jinzhao touched his chin and said, "Your face, I heard from Xiaobai, was beaten up by Xie Yin."

"You've heard quite a lot," Fu Jingting said coldly.

"It's alright." Tang Jinchao scratched his brow. "Unfortunately, I also know that Ling Jiajia is Xie Yin's ex-wife."

Tang Jinchao looked at Fu Jingting's tense face but said nothing.

Old Chen rushed back from outside, but tripped on the steps as he entered. Fu Shiqing glanced at him and asked, "What's wrong? You're not old enough to be so clumsy."

Old Chen quickly regained his balance, reached out to steady the baseball cap that had fallen off the old man, covering his sparse hair, and handed the materials to the old man with both hands, "Mr. Fu, Miss Xu's information."

Fu Shiqing glanced at him, reached out and took the materials. The old man sat on the sofa, and Old Chen hurriedly handed him his reading glasses.

The old man opened the manila envelope, took out the documents inside, and several photos fell out.
