The remarried husband is actually the head of the rich family?

There were six people at one table, as if there was a Chu River and Han River dividing them. Three people were on each side, and each side had its own thoughts.

When the meal was almost over, Fu Yehan did not hesitate to talk about business directly, but he did not go into too much detail. He just consulted Ling Shi about some feasible legal solutions.

"Uncle Qi." After listening to their discussion, Fu Jingwei looked around at everyone present calmly, and finally looked at Fu Yehan and asked, "You and Aunt Qi, you really don't plan to make the fact that you have obtained the marriage certificate public?"

Fu Jingwei's question was actually completely unnecessary. Uncle Seventh had already told her what he thought. Even if she didn't understand it before, she shouldn't have asked about Uncle Seventh's decision in front of so many people.

But Ling Xihe's performance today disappointed her. She did not enjoy the meal very well. This unnecessary question was a serious reminder to her.

In the past, when her seventh uncle was single, she could turn a blind eye to Ling Xi's love for him. However, now her seventh uncle is married, and the other party is Ye Qingluo, who has become a hot topic on the Internet, but Ling Xi pretended not to know him.

And contrary to what was said online, her seventh uncle loved her seventh aunt very much and there was no room for a third party to interfere.

"not going to."

"considering."

In the quiet private room, two voices sounded at the same time.

Ye Qingluo who said "I'm considering it": "..."

Fu Jingwei didn't know who to listen to: "..."

“There’s nothing wrong with what Qingluo said.” Chu Tiankuo coughed, and tried to smooth things over by suppressing his smile. “Considering it is just a euphemism. To put it bluntly, it means that we don’t plan to make it public for the time being. Am I right? Qing…”

Before Chu Tiankuo finished saying the word "Luo" in Qingluo, he received Fu Yehan's obviously unfriendly look.

"Ha, ha." Chu Tiankuo laughed awkwardly twice. He didn't know which minefield of Fu Yehan he had touched again, but his intuition told him that he must have said something wrong, so Chu Tiankuo was flexible and changed his words immediately, "Of course, I was just guessing, just guessing."

Fu Yehan still didn't retract his gaze, and even narrowed it dangerously. His tone of questioning was chilling: "You Qingluo? Who are you dating?"

Chu Tiankuo: “…”

Now that everyone was full and satisfied, Fu Yehan looked at his watch and stopped chatting with them. He stood up and took Ye Qingluo's hand.

"We walked."

Fu Yehan simply said this and led the person towards the door.

However, the moment he opened the door, Fu Yehan paused again.

After standing still for two seconds, he turned around, looked at Ling Shi with an ambiguous expression, and said, "Lawyer Ling, if you have time, please help me check someone. It is obvious that the person who came forward with his real name is just a pawn. I guess the Chu family also contributed to this."

"What a coincidence." Ling Shi smiled, "We guessed the same thing."

"That's good." Fu Yehan nodded, "Remember, don't alert the enemy before you find the person."

"Since Mr. Fu already has an idea in mind," Ling Shi spread his hands, "why would it be necessary for me to come and offer my services to him?"

"I know." Fu Yehan's eyes flashed coldly, "I'm just afraid you don't know."

Sensitively sensing the danger signal, Ling Shi's smile suddenly faded. He held his breath and waited for Fu Yehan's next words.

"I want to know." Fu Yehan said, "Whose pawn is the Chu family?"

After Fu Yehan took Ye Qingluo's hand and left, Fu Jingwei also stood up, ready to pay the bill and leave.

"Boss Fu, can you give me a ride?" Chu Tiankuo stood up and made up an excuse, "I've been drinking and can't drive."

Fu Jingwei was going back to the company, which was totally off the road for Chu Tiankuo.

Looking down at the white wine in front of Chu Tiankuo who had just taken a sip, Fu Jingwei said, "Hmm," and said, "I'm going to Ifyou tomorrow and I'm going to the mall to prepare some gifts. Where are you going?"

"What a coincidence." Chu Tiankuo said happily, "I've been invited to Aunt Lan's birthday party tomorrow, and I'm going to the mall to pick out some gifts for her."

"Let's go together then."

After Fu Jingwei and Chu Tiankuo left, only Ling Shi and Ling Xi were left in the private room.

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Ling Xihe moved her chair back, stood up, and went behind her to pick up her bag.

Just as she was about to walk towards the door, Ling Shi suddenly ordered in a deep voice: "Come back and sit down."

Ling Xi stood there for a while, then reluctantly returned to his previous seat and sat down.

"What's up?" Ling Xihe took out a makeup mirror from her bag, checked her makeup, and flicked the fine lines at the corners of her eyes. "Brother, do you want to talk to me alone?"

Ling Shi glanced at the fish in Fu Yehan's bowl across from him, which was untouched. He lost his usual playful expression and spoke in a serious tone as if covered with a layer of cold frost: "Ling Xihe, do you still know how to write the word 'bottom line' now?"

As if he didn't expect to hear such a direct question, Ling Xihe was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly laughed after a moment. If you look closely, his eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Ling Shi.

Ling Xihe put away the makeup mirror and looked at Ling Shi intently: "So, brother, are you teaching me how to behave?"

Ling Shi did not answer, but looked at her expressionlessly.

If there were bystanders at this moment, they might see sparks from the unhappy gazes between them.

Ling Xihe was the first to look away, lowered his head and smiled: "Brother, can I take the liberty to ask you a question?"

Ling Shi also retracted his gaze and stared at the rotating round table in front of him: "What do you want to ask?"

"You seem very unhappy today." Ling Xihe said, "Why exactly?"

Ling Shi frowned.

Ling Xihe took out a cigarette from her bag, lit it skillfully, took a puff, and then asked, "You reminded me to have a 'bottom line', is it because you want to protect me, or because... I offended the person you want to protect."

In the rising smoke rings, Ling Shi's face became uglier than ever before.

The only sound in the room was the humming of the motor of the round table turntable.

When a small plate of peanuts on the round table was turned in front of him, Ling Shi raised his hand and took down the plate together, put it in front of him, and then poured himself a glass of white wine.

The burning sensation brought by the spicy liquid sliding down the throat became the only outlet for all the unspeakable things.

Although Ling Shi and Ling Xihe are siblings, their relationship has never been very good.

Maybe it was because that terrible family didn't teach them how to get along with people close to them. After Ling Xihe was born, Ling Shi never felt happy because he had a younger sister. On the contrary, he felt sad and didn't know what the point of having children was for a family like theirs.

In their childhood, Ling Xi, like Ling Shi, lived under the shadow of their father's drinking, gambling, whoring and frequent domestic violence. However, their mother had a good temper. She was so good that even when her father knocked out her teeth, she would still run out to fool around with a smile on her face, rain or shine.

This suffocating life continued until the summer vacation after Ling Shi’s high school entrance examination.
