huaisheng saw that there was another person sitting opposite her, and he guessed that he was out for dinner with his friends. he nodded as a form of greeting and planned to leave with his classmates around the table.
fu yu laughed at this snaking movement.
walk around the table?
he didnât even say a word?
fu yu finally found an acquaintance. how could she let him go so easily? she raised her voice a little, â master huaisheng! â
the student beside huaisheng almost burst out laughing when he heard the word âmasterâ.
huaisheng had no choice but to smile and turn around.
âwhat a coincidence, youâre here for dinner too? two people?â fu yu walked over graciously, and the man who sat at the same table with her also stood up. because they were not familiar with each other, he just nodded casually as a greeting.
âyes.â huai sheng nodded.
âyouâre here to give a speech today as well?â
âyes,â
â iâve been too busy recently. otherwise, iâd really like to go and listen to a few more shows. you said it especially well last time. â
âthank you,â he said.
huaisheng was just having a perfunctory chat, but fu yu could easily find a topic to talk about.
they couldnât stay standing all the time, so the man who was with fu yu said very politely, â do you want to share a table? letâs sit down and talk. â
huaisheng was about to refuse, but fu yu stopped him. â sure, you can come and sit. â
in fact, it was also a table for four, with two people on the sofa. huaishengâs classmate saw that they were chatting happily and thought that they were close, so he sat beside the man. huaisheng could only sit close to fu yu.
â i heard her call you master just now. you are ... â the man kept sizing up huai sheng.
â sheâs a monk. sheâs giving a speech at beijing university recently. i signed her name on my script. â
âso itâs this master.â
huaisheng didnât know about the signature, so he didnât know how popular he was on the internet.
fu yu was particularly concerned about intellectual property rights, and the story she wrote was originally from huaisheng. even if she redid it, she had to tell the readers that this was not her original content.
after the meal, the man invited fu yu to go to the movies, but he was politely refused.
âi want to talk about buddhism with master. iâve been very confused recently and need his guidance.â
when she said this, her attitude was very respectful and polite. if fu qinyuan and the others were to see this, their jaws would probably drop.
buddhism?
she was an atheist, wasnât she lying through her teeth?
âthatâs fine. which temple does master cultivate in? iâll also go pay my respects another day.â although the man could not hide his disappointment, he still smiled politely.
huaishengâs classmate was holding back his laughter the entire time.
âci ji temple,â when huai sheng heard this, he also felt that it was strange to say it in such an occasion.
the man was about to pay the bill and leave, but huaisheng paid the bill first. he was older than fu yu, and he had classmates with him, so it was normal for him to pay the bill.
â iâm meeting my girlfriend this afternoon. letâs meet again another day. â huaishengâs classmates left early. â i wonât disturb your discussion of buddhism. â
âthen letâs go.â fu yu pointed at her car. huaisheng had no choice but to get into her car under the resentful eyes of a man.
huaisheng wasnât stupid. he knew that she was using his name to avoid that person, so he didnât make a sound.
the car drove off and the man disappeared from the rearview mirror. â are you on a blind date? â he asked.
âyou still know about blind dates?â fu yu laughed and teased.
âyou seem to have some prejudice and misunderstanding about me.â
fu yu was just teasing him, but she was surprised to see him so serious. this monk was really boring. â itâs not really a blind date. i had an appointment with an aunt and wanted to give her something, but she brought someone here and left early, making me very embarrassed. â
although she claimed to be unmarried outside, it didnât mean that no one really wanted her.
âthank you for this.â
in todayâs society, no one was so stupid that they didnât know that they were being used. huaisheng just cooperated with her.
âyouâre welcome. if you donât like it, you can reject it.â
âi donât mind, but you have to consider that auntieâs face,â fu yu said helplessly, â do you have something on this afternoon? â
before he could speak, fu yu said, â itâs easy to verify if youâre okay. â
what he meant was, donât lie to me!
huai sheng nodded. â iâm indeed fine. â
âdo you want me to send you back to rest? iâll chat with you later.â
huaisheng was most afraid that she would say it was night time. â you donât need to rest. letâs find a tea room or a cafe. â
âalright,â he said. fu yu nodded.

on the other side, fu qinyuan had already followed fu chen out, saying that he was going to meet a client. he had even taken a shower and changed into clean clothes.
when meeting clients in private, they usually chose high-end private clubs that could protect privacy and provide entertainment, so when he drove to the suburbs of beijing, he didnât care, because he was still having a headache.
âdad, whoâs this client?â fu qinyuan pinched the space between his eyebrows and chewed on two pieces of mint-flavored gum to refresh his mind. â do we need to come together? â he asked.
âyouâll know once you enter.â
âiâm telling you in advance so that i can be prepared.â
fu chen sneered. â you were so determined to meet your parents, but you didnât prepare for me. â
seeing that his father didnât say anything, fu qinyuan turned to look at shi fang. even master san didnât say anything, so he couldnât say anything.
in the private room, jing hanchuan was playing cards with duan linbai and fu sinian.
âdamn, jing hanchuan, whatâs wrong with you today? canât you give me a way out? let me run two more cards, theyâre all rotten in my hands.â duan linbai threw a stack of cards on the table.
âiâm really unlucky today.â
fu sinian said, â itâs not bad luck thatâs why i have bad cards. itâs because iâm bad at playing. â
âha, youâre not any better than me today. havenât you been losing all the time?â
âat least i didnât complain. losing doesnât mean losing.â
duan linbai wanted to throw his cards at his face.
âspeaking of which, whatâs fu san doing today? hanchuan, your parents just came back. youâre not at home with them, how can you come out?â duan linbai originally wanted to take a walk around the jing family, but he didnât go in time considering the time difference.
âyouâll know in a while.â
a few minutes later, there was a knock on the door. after fu chen pushed the door open and went in, fu qinyuan saw who was inside.
what kind of police station was this? what kind of operation was this?
âsixth uncle, cousin, uncle duan.â fu qinyuan greeted them one by one. he knew that his father had probably colluded with jing hanchuan to set him up.
jing hanchuan would definitely âsettleâ with fu chen after this. rather than doing this ...
fu chen thought that it would be better to hand him over first.
there were things he couldnât avoid anyway, and he had to face jing hanchuan.
âdad, is this the client you were talking about?â fu qinyuan covered his mouth with his hand and said in a low voice.
â didnât you say that your sixth uncle is high and mighty and difficult to get close to? iâm creating an opportunity for you to have an in-depth exchange with him. itâs important to please your father-in-law. â fu chen narrowed his eyes and smiled.
if he wanted to scam you, he could naturally come up with thousands of reasonable reasons that you couldnât refuse.
â qinyuan, when you were drunk yesterday, didnât you keep saying that your mother helped you a lot and i didnât help? â
â iâve created an opportunity for you. itâs up to you how you want to grasp it. â
â look, iâve even invited your uncle duan and cousin to support you. if you canât handle him, i canât help you with this. â
at this time, duan linbai was eating the fragrant melon seeds gifted by the club. he had no idea that he was just a companion in fu chenâs words.
âwhat are you two whispering about? whatâs going on today?â
âtheyâre all so mysterious.â
âespecially a certain someone. fu san, you have to help me later. i lost a lot of money to him.â
duan linbai was just saying that. the few of them played cards and took out some money to have fun.
â qin yuan is free today. he actually has time to come to our gathering? â duan linbai chuckled. â didnât you say before that you donât like to come to the health bureau for people who have been in the age limit? â
âhealth bureau?â jing hanchuan asked.
âat that time, you were still abroad, and it was really boring for the three of us to get together. he had just started working and was learning from fu san, so we brought him along to have fun. but he was young and didnât want to stay with us old men.â
duan linbai had never thought of himself as an old man, and even his clothes were more fashionable than his. what right did this kid have to mock him?
âwhat else did he say?â
duan linbai did not know about the relationship between the two of them. he told fu qinyuan everything he could think of in the past. he was just joking.
everyone had grown up as a baby and had some dark history. duan linbai liked to exaggerate, so he didnât mean it, but jing hanchuan listened very seriously.
fu qinyuan did not expect to be stabbed by duan linbai.
â qin yuan, i can only help you up to this point. do your best. â after fu chen finished speaking, he sat down next to fu sinian, completely outside the war zone.
