Fall in love with your enemy

Continuing from last time, Gao Xinci came over to resolve the issues at the ancestral hall. My second uncle will probably be depressed for a while, and my youngest uncle has to clean up the mess. So we planned to go back to the courtyard first. Business is easy to deal with. The only thing that is hard to deal with is Fu Yunyan rushing out to block my way.

After all, she was the best-born girl in the outer courtyard and had lived a wealthy life for several years. How could it not be sad that she had ended up in such a state today? Her hair was disheveled and her clothes were torn. It was not easy for her to break free from the hands of the escorting officer, so she cherished her only chance to survive. She knelt down in front of me with a plop, and was stunned.

“Aunt, aunt, please save me…” Fu Yunyan’s bloody hand pulled my sleeve and she shook her head desperately as soon as she finished speaking: “No, don’t save me, save Lin Song! Aunt, please save Lin Song or he will die! He was raised in the Fu family since he was a child and the second master will not let him leave the house alive. Please save him, you watched him grow up, aunt…”

I sighed and reached out to help her: "Yun Yan, you are not the only one in the Fu family who calls me aunt. I have to be responsible for everyone."

Fu Yunyan was stunned. I said what I needed to say and was about to leave. I saw them all out of the corner of my eye, feeling relieved and relieved. I smiled and asked them to follow me back. Yunyan realized there was no hope after a few seconds and started crying like crazy. Fortunately, the officers in charge of the escort were quick and grabbed her limbs to control her, so she could only cry.

"Aunt! You promised my brother that you would protect my aunt, aunt, have you forgotten..."

I felt melancholy as I listened. I couldn't remember what Yun Jin looked like, but I still remembered what he said. The ancestral hall was located in the southeast courtyard, close to the outer courtyard Shenghua Court. I hadn't burned incense for a few years, so I should go and see it and tell him that I had tried my best.

I turned around and said, "Xuan Ze, take Director Gao back to Qianhe Hall to prepare the contract. I'll be back soon."

Mrs. Lu hurriedly grabbed me and said, "Miss, what should I do now that I have told you about Qi Cheng's murder..."

I smiled bitterly and shook my head: "Don't worry, Second Uncle won't ask about it anymore. As for Qi Cheng, he will be released in less than two days. But you don't have to worry. He is timid after being rubbed once, so he will learn his lesson. Lanlan will take good care of you."

Gao Xinci frowned: "Where are you going?"

"Take a walk around Shenghua Court. Don't worry, nothing will happen." I looked up and saw Gao Xinci was still silent. I took the initiative to squeeze his palm and said, "Poisoning the Second Wife is a major matter for the Second House. I can't forgive it just because I want to. I don't have the strength to do so. I just want her to have the last bit of dignity, not only because she called me aunt, but also because we are both women."

Gao Xinci frowned, and he had figured it out. The people in charge of escorting or punishing people in the old house were all young and hot-blooded men. They were not good at treating a girl who would no longer be respected after making a mistake, and whose clothes would be torn just by walking a short distance out of the ancestral hall. They knew what would happen if no one in the South Courtyard knew about it. Those people were no different from animals.

"Then come back early, I'll ask someone to follow you." Gao Xinci nodded.

I shrugged. "No need. What could possibly happen in your own home? If you have time, why don't you help me send Mrs. Lu back home?"

"I understand." Gao Xinci took Mrs. Lu away.

Xuan Ze stood there in the empty space instead. I was so tired that I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Forget it. Go back first and ask the kitchen to prepare a few more tables of food to celebrate for Lan Lan in the evening. Also prepare more red envelopes. He can use them."

Lan Lan, who had just returned from checking the stolen goods, seemed extremely excited, but she pursed her lips and refused: "Sister, forget it. The second house has suffered such a big loss. Isn't it not good for us to gloat over it in the blink of an eye?"

"It's been less than a month since Old Master passed away, and the Second House has already put up lights and decorations to welcome me away. Why are we being so hypocritical? The Second Wife is not dead." I snorted coldly and forced a smile at Lan Lan: "Don't worry, I will never let your momentum fall below Wen Xianqin's."

"Thank you, sister!" Lanlan smiled silly and clasped her hands together, and I felt a little better.

"Xuan Ze, go get ready. You still have to do something for me. Chase after the group that went to the South Courtyard and remind them that Yun Yan is still a legitimate Miss Fu. They can't bully her anyway. Take care of their things, or I'll chop her up and throw her into the sea."

"Physical form? Oh my god, so cruel, who says men can't empathize--" Lanlan shrank back weirdly, and only stood at attention and saluted after I glared at her, said "Yes, sir", and ran away.

After giving the instructions, I took Zhizhi and You Yijie to Shenghuating. I regretted it as soon as I arrived. I didn't know how to face the tablet, so I went in anyway, burned some incense and left. It was a pity. Perhaps because of what happened today, the reputation that Lian Yunjin had accumulated over the years would be completely ruined. He was very unlucky.

When I returned to the courtyard, Gao Xinci was already waiting for me in the small living room of my room. There were several pages of contracts on the table. Although the location he chose was a bit imaginative, at least his expression was serious. Until I went to the bathroom and accidentally looked into the bathtub: I knew it was too early to praise him, because the bath water was already prepared for me.

I went out speechlessly and picked up the pen to sign. Gao Xinci was very happy. Seeing me like this, he sat up straight in admiration: "You don't even take a look?"

"Can you still sell me out?" I threw the pen down and leaned against the sofa.

Gao Xinci nodded, picked out a sheet from the middle, moved it in front of me, and pointed to the first few words on it: Consent to Remarriage.

I also raised my chin to let him take a closer look at what I was signing.

"Fu Jiangling?!" Gao Xinci widened his eyes and even rubbed them for fear that he had seen it wrong.

"Yes, a lot of my properties have been transferred to my daughter's name. If you like, take my daughter away." I wanted to laugh a little, and I also resented this father for not having seen his daughter for a day. Although it was largely my fault for not telling him, how could I admit it?! What did he do that he didn't count and check?

Zhu Wenqing leaned over to Gao Xinci's ear with a playful smile and said, "Boss, it seems your decision has failed."

"Shut up, I want you to speak." Gao Xinci pursed his lips and was very helpless. He had no choice but to take the contract and hand it to Zuo Qiao: "Okay, everyone, get out."

Zhu Wenqing covered his mouth and said, "Boss, can you please be more reserved?"

"If you don't go, I'll suspend your card." Gao Xinci pursed his lips.

"Got it!" Zhu Wenqing dragged Zuo Qiao away.

Gao Xinci's wolf-like gaze moved away from my face and quickly moved upwards, looking at Zhizhi with even more displeasure, as if he wanted to write four big words on her face: Why don't you leave!

I turned aside and said, "Zhizhi, go out and prepare the dinner with Xuanze and the others. Lanlan is the deputy after all, and it will depend on this whether he or Wen Xianqin will listen to whom in the future. Oh, and Director Gao has come all the way here, so you should arrange a special banquet for him tonight, right? Tell the kitchen to give him more oysters, sea cucumbers, and mutton, and remember to sprinkle a handful of wolfberries on each dish. He likes it."

"You'll be happy after eating it, so be more reserved." Gao Xinci retorted.

It's so strange. Everyone was digging up the past behind each other's back, but today it's all out in the open. I clearly remember that he used to be a cute boy who blushed easily, but now in front of outsiders... Oh, no, I forgot. He has been reborn as Niu Hulu Xinci. He's an old man and he doesn't have any shame.

I was a little annoyed and was waiting to settle the score with him. Zhizhi couldn't stand the provocation and got so angry after just a few words. I guess he couldn't even eat dinner. He stomped his feet loudly when he went out, and almost broke my door which cost $400,000. Fortunately, he closed it safely in the end, called the artificial intelligence to lock it, and I stood up and sat astride Gao Xinci.

"Should we be happy after dinner or now?" I asked, putting my arms around his neck and kissing the corner of his lips.

Gao Xinci still looked calm, pretending to be deep but still managed to pinch me. "Why are you in such a hurry? It seems that the male models that President Wei sent are not of good quality and didn't satisfy you?"

I smiled, lying on his chest, circling my fingers around him: "I'm about to start a new relationship, and you're still settling old scores? I remember that Director Gao was a decisive person. He came to propose marriage the second time he met me."

"I also remember that Mr. Fu was not so cunning before. If he was bullied by me, he should have covered his face and cried breathlessly instead of sitting here and teasing me now." Gao Xinci pointed downwards, and I also felt Gao Laoer poking at me. He suddenly tightened his arm around my waist and said, "So where did those old sisters go?"

"I gave him some money and sent him down the mountain—" I dragged out a long tail tone to express my helplessness: "With you here, my aesthetic taste won't be degraded to that level. Next."

"Fu Shuyu."

"That's my brother. I can't learn your perversion. Next one."

"What about Feng Shizhi?"

I was even more helpless, and I flicked my hair: "Sister, I have personal charm, can you still cover me with a bag?"

"I really want to kidnap you now." Gao Xinci was a little annoyed. He put his hands on my knees and picked me up. The water in the bathtub was in vain. He threw me directly on the bed. Fortunately, I chose a soft mattress, otherwise I would have a concussion. He unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt and pressed on me: "It's already afternoon and you haven't eaten. Aren't you a little hungry? But I don't plan to let you go. I just want to remind you that it's okay. It's normal to feel dizzy-"

I also stroked his head with concern: "You didn't sleep well last night because you were jealous of me, right? Didn't you have any appetite? Don't worry, it's normal to feel dizzy. I'll make up for it with dinner."

Gao Xinci pursed his lips, and with a little effort, my custom-made silk shirt that cost more than 5,000 yuan was heroically sacrificed. I don't know if unbuttoning buttons is really a very tiring job, as he never does it, or maybe he actually passed the exam to become a senior designer without telling me. I've seen many clothes in fashion shows that are in pieces, and my aesthetic taste is totally beyond my reach.

"Are you so tired every day?" Gao Xinci took time out from his busy work to ask me. He really liked to bite me, neither hard nor light.

I hummed and closed my eyes, not wanting to see. Many times, I hated myself for using my body as compensation, even if the other party was my ex-husband - oh, it seemed reasonable to hate my ex-husband. Many people in the world hated their ex-husbands, some even beat them up, not to mention lying in the same bed with them. But I vaguely felt that it was not Gao Xinci that I hated.

I am indeed very tired.

"Are you tired? Why don't you let me support you?" He came over and licked the tip of my tongue.

I let out a breath, "I told you I have to take care of the eldest house. My brother is still young."

"I still like it when you treat Fu Shuyu as a thorn in your side." Gao Xinci was quite disappointed.

I hummed again, and thought back out of boredom. Actually, I never hated Cheng Cheng very much. What I hated were Lu Yinyin and Lao Fu. I regarded him as a member of the same kind, a loner.

"So you are only interested in the Fu family. Without the Fu family, would you elope with me? Are you secretly in love with me?"

I frowned: "Gao Xinci, you are saying such nonsense again."

He was quiet for a while, biting my face, kissing me, and sucking after kissing: "Then don't ask the Fu family, ask if you love me?"

I didn't say anything, my mind was empty. I guess I treated my concern for him as a habit and instinct. When asked what I loved him like, I couldn't tell. On the surface, I didn't seem to have any intense emotions.

"Don't you love me? Or do you think it's different from loving others?" Gao Xinci finally stopped moving his hands. I could feel his burning gaze even with my eyes closed. He held my face with his hands: "Can you fit two people in your heart? I'll make do with it. There's a dead person on the other side anyway."

I was so annoyed. He hated Jiang Yinan, and so did I, but I cherished him at the same time. Protecting him was like protecting a rebellious child. This description was strange but also apt. I opened my eyes and saw that he had made me itchy all over, and he was still glaring at me. I didn't ask any more questions and just got on with my work.

But suddenly I didn’t want to think about it anymore.

“Two more times,” I said.

"What?" Gao Xinci raised his head.

"I said, there are two more times." I said tiredly, "I'll remember that you haven't come for a hundred days, and since you helped me today, I'll sleep with you twice. We can bargain. Originally, I wanted to charge you for kissing me in public, but unfortunately I'm too kind."

Gao Xinci was stunned, then became angry: "You're ignoring me again with your pants pulled up?!"

"I haven't taken it off yet." I said with a yawn.

One was a mental accusation, and the other was a physical fact, which made little Gao Zhen a little bored. Gao Xingci sat up, buttoned up his clothes beside the bed and got up.

"Mr. Fu has started doing business with me again. This is a rare opportunity, and I don't want to waste it. I'll wait until we meet again."

"Mr. Gao, are you so busy? You're leaving soon. Would you like to keep dinner for me tonight?" I asked, looking up.

Xiao Gao and Xiao Xiao Gao were both furious. They looked at me in an extremely annoyed but cute way: "No!"

Then the person left, and I got a brief moment of peace. It probably also made my second uncle feel more at ease. Ten minutes is a reasonable time to sign a contract. He probably wouldn't believe that Gao Xinci, a young and strong man, could complete multiple tasks in such a short time. Zhizhi didn't believe it either. He knocked on the door and barged in. He sat on the bed and went from being angry to gossiping.

"Could it be that...what you said about sprinkling wolfberries is really not abstract?" Zhizhi's eyes were almost shining.

I grabbed the shredded shirt with one hand and put it together, feeling very resentful: "Brother, if he and I really did something, would it be appropriate for you to come in without even giving me time to get dressed? Be careful or I'll send you to the South Courtyard to accompany Qi Cheng!"

Zhizhi blushed and turned her back, thought for a moment and slipped away again. I relaxed a little and breathed a sigh of relief, firmly believing that Gao Xinci would not be so shameless as to refuse to respond if I said a word. I silently counted the time in my heart and knew that he would definitely contact me again within three hours. I also took this opportunity to use the water in the bathtub in the mentality of not wasting water resources. The only thing that went against my expectations was that a text message reminder popped up on my phone in less than three seconds.

No way, Gao Xinci has evolved?

I picked it up and looked at it. Oh my god, it was actually Gao Xinci. It was Liang Sen who sent me a message with only three words.

Return to Linjiang.
