1669 the jing and xu families gather to send the third master off?
because of jing hanchuanâs words, duan linbaiâs hostility towards gu yuan decreased. in addition, he was injured after all, so even if he wanted to cause trouble, he would not be able to do much. on his way home, he even went to xu yufeiâs shop to buy some desserts that duan yinuo usually liked.
gu yinuo was dumbfounded. she had been staring at her for the past few days, and now she was suddenly feeding her?
âbrother, did dad get agitated today? heâs suddenly so nice to me, iâm scared.â
âiâm not sure,â duan linbaiâs brain had always been strange, and his emotions came and went quickly. duan yiyan no longer felt anything about this.
â yiyan, i donât have anything to do tonight. if thereâs anything else you need to do at the company, bring it to my study room later. â
duan yiyan nodded ...
half an hour later, duan linbai pushed open the door of the study and saw a mountain of documents. his eyelids twitched twice!
little rascal, did he want him to overwork himself to death? he was throwing away a monthâs work.
in duan yiyanâs words, he had always been forced to do business, and he had to take advantage of his fatherâs enthusiasm to work, so it was inappropriate to not satisfy him.

while gu yuan was recuperating, chen wang had visited him a few times. although the two did not talk much, they got along well, perhaps because they had similar experiences.
chen wang had a dinner appointment with fu chenâs family that night at six o âclock in the evening at quanjude in the capital. however, he had nothing to do, so he left early and went to gu yuanâs place for a while.
from a distance, he could see a few cars parked below the apartment. they were all of the same model and were all expensive models. there were four or five of them in a row, which was really eye-catching.
there were also a few people in black standing by the trash can downstairs, either chatting or smoking. they were all in black suits, tall and strong, and didnât look easy to deal with.
there was such a high-profile person in the capital?
he felt that the fu family was already a top-class family, but fu chen was very low-key. he went upstairs quietly, thinking that it had nothing to do with him. when he reached gu yuanâs door, he found two big men standing at the door.
they looked at each other ...
chen wang narrowed his eyes. who did gu yuan offend?
âlooking for gu yuan?â the burly man at the door asked.
âyes.â
the man knocked on the door. when the door opened, chen wang could only brace himself and walk in.
however, she saw gu yuan sitting on the sofa with a person sitting beside him. he looked small and frivolous. it was obvious that these big men were brought by him, but he himself ...
she looked rather innocent and harmless.
âwhy didnât you tell me you were coming?â gu yuan invited him into the house. â let me introduce you. this is the xu familyâs ... â
chen wang pursed his lips. the xu family?
when he was drawing up the relationship chart of the fu family, he had definitely checked jing xingyaoâs background because fu qinyuan was in a relationship with him. was this her uncle?
after all, she had heard that her eldest uncle was extremely steady, but her youngest uncle was a little ...
it was a long story.
however, he didnât have a deep understanding of the xu family because he really didnât have any information. the information on the internet was very mysterious, but the generations before the jing family were not clean.
now it seemed ...
this was really a master who could do whatever he wanted in the capital.
âmr. xu,â chen wang did not know him, so he could only address him in a formal manner.
âi know you. your match was especially exciting.â xu yaoâs words were completely commercial flattery. he didnât like to play go, and he didnât know how to watch any go competitions. however, he definitely had to know about the major events that had happened in the capital recently.
otherwise, if he couldnât get in when everyone in his family was talking about hot topics, he would seem so ignorant.
âthank you,â he said. chen wang looked calm. he did not speak much and just listened to them quietly.
it turned out that gu yuan and his wife knew each other, which was why he got to know xu yao. he didnât come to visit today, just like him ...
he was passing by!
âthen you guys chat. i still have to go to the airport to pick someone up. iâll come and see you when iâm free.â xu yao didnât waste any time and left immediately.
âis there a need for such a grand welcome?â chen wang smiled.
â i think itâs his uncle. i heard that he was in there before. heâs the fiercest person in the xu family. â if it was an ordinary person, gu yuan would not have said anything. â arenât you very close to fu huan? he should know about the relationship between his brother, the third master, and miss jing.â
âhe said he came back to pay respects to the late old master, so he wanted to see little third master.â
the fu familyâs matter was somewhat indirectly related to chen wang, so gu yuan only mentioned it.
chen wang nodded and suddenly sympathized with fu qinyuan. his life was not as good as he had thought.
the xu family looked much fiercer than the jing family ...
**
chen wangâs appointment wasnât on the weekend, but fu huan had just finished a monthly exam and had a few days off on friday. he also made use of the time to meet fu chen.
when he arrived at quanjude and ordered some food, the fu family arrived.
it was already heating season in beijing. when the family entered the house, they were still cold. song fengwan had just taken off her coat when chen wang reached out to take it from her gentlemanly. â auntie, let me hang it up for you. â
âthank you,â he said.
fu chen had just taken off his coat, and chen wang politely hung it on the side for him.
in the past, she thought that chen wang was arrogant, but now, after interacting with him, he seemed to be gentle and polite. song fengwanâs impression of him was getting better and better.
fu huanâs seat was naturally close to song fengwanâs. perhaps she had just finished her exams and was a little tired, but she ate her roasted duck obediently and quietly.
âyouâve been staying in beijing recently?â song fengwan asked. even if chen wang was close to their family, he was not their child. her concern should be moderate. besides, she had been really busy recently.
â yes, iâm going to stay here to study in the spring. iâm looking for a house. â
âyouâre not staying in the house arranged by the duan family?â
âthe contract here is almost over, so thereâs no need for other collaborations to occupy their house.â
song fengwan agreed. he wasnât greedy. after all, the duan family wouldnât say anything if he continued to stay here. however, his actions added to his reputation.
âyouâre not staying on campus?â
âmaybe thereâs training on a regular basis, so itâs not very convenient. i donât want to live in the team either, so itâs depressing.â
song feng nodded his head. â just tell me if you need help. â
after all, they werenât that close. if it was a child from the duan family or the jing family, she would definitely say that she was living in her own house.
they talked about his admission into the academy, and somehow the topic was brought to fu qinyuan, talking about nothing more than the marriage proposal.
âyouâre getting married?â chen wang asked.
â iâm preparing to discuss marriage. thereâs still some time before the wedding. â song fengwan explained.
âarenât you going to the xu family for dinner tomorrow night? both the jing and xu families are here, you can go and have a look.â fu chen said bluntly.
it was going to be elder xuâs death anniversary soon, and it wasnât a good time to discuss marriage. moreover, master xu had only invited fu qin to his original house as a guest. in the end, the xu family wanted to meet him formally.
fu qinyuan lowered his head and ate without saying a word.
âin fact, the xu family is not some kind of wolves, tigers, or leopards. thereâs no need to be so nervous. when the time comes, you just have to be generous and appropriate.â
fu chen didnât know what to say.
chen wang remembered the xu familyâs behavior today. he picked up the teacup in front of him, stood up and offered him a cup of tea. â thank you for your help in the past few days. â
naturally, he was referring to the AI activity. although it was duan yiyanâs home field, fu qinyuan had also helped.
âiâve been busy recently, so i didnât have time to thank you.â
âyouâre welcome. sit down.â fu qinyuan gestured for him to sit down, feeling that the tea he offered was ...
it felt like he was sending her off.
