Fu Yihuai didn't hear her finish her sentence and interrupted her, "it's okay. I have a lot of time. I can totally cooperate with you. "
Lin Yan took a deep breath. She knew that there were some things that couldn't be avoided. "Send me the address of the meeting. "
Fu Yihuai put the cigarette in his hand to his mouth and took a deep breath. His voice was even more hoarse and deep due to the smoke. "There's no need. My brother's people are following you. Call me when you're done there. I'll drive over to pick you up. "
"okay, I got it. "
The red light turned green after nearly a minute. She stepped on the gas again and followed the car in front of her as it slowly drove past the intersection of the traffic lights.
For some reason, her heart was even more empty, as if she suddenly had a weakness and weakness.
He had only been gone for two days, but to her, it was as long as two years.
...
The morning rush hour at work was a little congested on the road. When she rushed to the coffee shop where she met the jewelry design master, she was already nearly ten minutes late.
Lin Yan walked over hurriedly in her high heels and apologized repeatedly. However, the jewelry designer, who was almost in his 40s, was very gentlemanly. There was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth as he said calmly, "beautiful ladies always have some privileges, such as being late. "
As he said this, he raised his right hand slightly and pointed at the seat opposite him. "Miss Lin, please take a seat. "
Lin Yan thanked him and pulled out the dining chair to sit down. Before she could think of anything to say to lighten the somewhat harmonious atmosphere, the jewelry designer across from her opened his mouth "Miss Lin, I know you must have a lot of things to do before you get married, so I won't take up too much of your time. "
As soon as he finished speaking, he pushed an exquisitely wrapped velvet box over from his handbag. "This is the wedding ring for you and Mr. He. The size and style are made according to Mr. He's wishes. Do you have anything that you're not satisfied with? "
"I've been forced to take a vacation at Mr. He's request for the past few days. I'll probably stay in Milan until the wedding between you and Mr. He is over, so you don't have to be afraid that you don't have enough time. Just tell me what you think and what you want. "
Lin Yan looked at the exquisite velvet box in front of her. After a few seconds, she reached out to open it. The Ladies'and Gentlemen's rings inside, whether in terms of workmanship or style, could be said to be the best. If there was anything that she was not satisfied with, it was that it was too perfect It was so perfect that her guilt towards he xiaoting had increased by a lot.
She took a few deep looks, then closed the velvet box. She smiled and said, "thank you for your painstaking design. I'm very satisfied. "
After the jewelry master heard her words, he smiled slightly "It's good that you like it. To be honest with you, my wife and I are both loyal fans of Miss Lin. Every time we have clothes designed by you, we will personally go to the scene to watch the model's runway show. Regardless of the details or the design, they are all very impressive. You really have a talent in design. "
"You must be joking. "
Lin Yan reached out her hand to sweep away the long hair that was scattered on the sides of her cheeks. Just as she was about to find an excuse to leave, the jewelry master said again, "Miss Lin, a talent in design is a priceless treasure. It's Mr. He's fortune to be able to marry you. "
She raised her beautiful eyebrows. She felt that there was a hidden meaning behind these words.
"If you're really satisfied, then do I have to hand in my assignment? "
Lin Yan nodded. "Yes, I'm very satisfied. "
When the jewelry design master heard Lin Yan's words, he revealed a charming smile "I heard that Chinese people are particular about reciprocity. Since Miss Lin is so satisfied with my wedding ring design, then as a reward and gratitude to me, could you ask Miss Lin to help me with a small favor? "
"Oh? "
Lin Yan showed an incredulous expression and spread her hands, expressing her incomprehension. "I really don't know what I can do to help you? "
"I haven't been to Milan for a long time. I want to go out for a walk. I wonder if I have the honor to invite Miss Lin to be my tour guide? " At this point, he paused "Of course, one or two hours will do. After all, Miss Lin's time is very precious. I don't want to delay too much. "
He waited for a few seconds, but did not receive a response from Lin Yan. Then, he said, "It seems that Miss Lin doesn't have much time, so let's just say... "
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Lin Yan's soft voice "That's not what I meant. Just now, I was just distracted thinking about what's fun about Milan. After all, when you want to return favors, you have to pay them back seriously. If you want to be perfunctory, then it's better not to return them. Do you think I'm right? "
The jewelry design master smiled and nodded. His voice was lazy and magnetic. "Very Right. "
Lin Yan put the exquisitely wrapped velvet box into her handbag and casually asked in a casual tone, "May I ask if you're Chinese? or... is your wife Chinese? "
"This... "
The jewelry designer seemed to hesitate for two seconds before he said in a low voice, "my wife is Chinese. " "My wife is Chinese, but she grew up abroad. As for me... "I'm a quarter Chinese, so I might look like an oriental man, but in fact, I don't know China at all. I only went back once many years ago. "
After hurriedly explaining, the jewelry master asked again, "why are you suddenly interested in this? "
"I'm a little curious. "
She pointed at the Sandalwood Prayer Beads in his hand. "I also asked for the Abbot's sandalwood prayer beads at Huayan Temple in Lin city. Yours is exactly the same as the one I asked for. "
"So fated? "
He raised the sandalwood prayer beads in his left hand and said in a low voice, "my wife asked for it for me. She hopes that I can live a peaceful and smooth life. "
"What a beautiful wish. I hope it will come true. "
"thank you. "
Lin Yan really did not like owing favors to others. Whether it was strangers or people she was familiar with, she did not like them at all. If she could use an hour or two of "tour guide" to return the favor, she felt that it was not a big deal Moreover, it was not tiring to talk to a smart person like him. She could still find some fun.
After walking around for about two hours, Lin Yan found an excuse to leave.
After leaving, she dialed Fu Yihuai's cell phone number. Just as the beep sounded, Fu Yihuai's deep and magnetic voice came from the other side "I thought Miss Lin was so happy as a 'tour guide' that she had forgotten about our previous conversation. "
Lin Yan heard his words and frowned. "Fu Yihuai, are you following me? "
"Don't make it sound so bad. I just happened to be passing by, and you two just happened to have a very good conversation and got carried away. This... can't be blamed on me, right? "
Lin Yan didn't intend to dwell on these things and asked again, "where are you? "
"I'm in a black Bentley without a license plate by the roadside. When you walk over, put on your sunglasses and hat. If you don't have it on you, go to the mall next door and buy it. I'll coordinate with the few black bentleys next to me so that my brother's people won't be able to tell which car you got into. "
Lin Yan took a deep breath and took a few seconds to calm down before saying in a low voice, "okay, I got it. "
After cutting off the phone communication, Lin Yan went to the nearby shopping mall to buy sunglasses and a hat. When she came out, she put on her sunglasses and lowered her hat as Fu Yihuai had said before. She smoothly got into the car that looked exactly the same She got into the Black Bentley that he was driving.
After she got into the car, Fu Yihuai quickly stepped on the accelerator. In the next second, the car flew out and blended into the traffic on the road.
The temperature today was not considered high. After Lin Yan got into Fu Yihuai's car, she didn't know whether it was because the heater in the car was too high or because the aura he emitted was too cold. She felt that it was difficult to breathe, so she reached out and lowered the car window.
The cold wind continued to pour in through the gaps in the car window, blowing up her long wavy hair and covering most of her face. After she couldn't see her expression and emotions clearly, she finally felt a little better.
Fu Yihuai didn't mind her lowering the car window. He only glanced at her and looked straight ahead, staring at the road ahead without blinking.
...
About twenty minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of an unremarkable Chinese restaurant.
Lin Yan was about to unfasten her seatbelt and get out of the car when the phone in her handbag vibrated. She took it out and saw that it was a call from Fu Qingshan. It was probably a call from her bodyguard after he found out that she had "disappeared" He had obviously called her at the first moment to ask about the reason for her "sudden disappearance" .
Just as she was about to answer the call, the phone in her hand was taken away by a man's big hand. He quickly pressed the hang-up button and quickly turned off the phone, giving her a dignified reason "At times like this, the less contact you have with him, the less pain you will have with him. "
Lin Yan frowned and was very disgusted by his words. "How can you be so sure that I will listen to you and leave him? Maybe I just want to play hard to get. "
Fu Yihuai directly threw her phone to the side of the road. A car happened to pass by, and the brand-new phone instantly shattered into pieces. "because... you are a smart person. You will definitely not refuse something that will benefit you without doing any harm. "
"Moreover... "
He paused for a few seconds before saying in a low voice, "you don't really love my brother. If you really love him, why would you have sex with other men? Am I right? "
Lin Yan didn't get angry. Instead, she laughed. "Fu Yihuai, have you ever heard of the word 'counterproductive' ? To be honest with you, my rebellious mentality is very strong. "
"Oh? "?
Fu Yihuai's arm was propped up against the window as he said in a languid and leisurely tone, "then it depends on whether Miss Lin can withstand the temptation later! "
Lin Yan didn't understand what he meant at first, but when she followed behind him and walked into a private room in the restaurant on the second floor, she finally understood what he meant by 'temptation' .
It turned out that the person who wanted to see her today wasn't Fu Yihuai, but someone else.
And that person was none other than Fu Qingshan and Fu Yihuai's grandfather, Fu Zhanglin.
Fu Zhanglin sat at the main seat of the table, holding an exquisite blue and white porcelain teacup in his weathered hands. When he heard footsteps, he raised his head and looked over.
When he saw Lin Yan behind Fu Yihuai, the corners of his lips curled up into a kind smile. He waved his hand and said, "come here. "
Aside from the initial few seconds of shock, Lin Yan quickly recovered. After hearing what Fu Zhanglin said, she didn't hesitate or cower. She walked over in her high heels and sat beside him.
Fu Zhanglin watched her walk over and sit down. He reached out to touch his presbyopia glasses on his nose bridge. His voice was mellow "It has been almost a year since I last saw you, right? To be honest, if it wasn't for you and Xiao Shan, I would have liked you very much. I would have doted on you as much as I doted on my granddaughter. It's a pity... "
Lin Yan picked up the teapot in front of her and poured herself a cup of tea. She then poured another cup of tea for Fu Zhanglin who was beside her. It was clearly a sweet voice, but it was not gentle at all. She went straight to the point "Grandfather didn't ask me to come here today just to catch up with me, did he? "
Fu Zhanglin sighed and took a sip of the tea she had just poured. "It's been so long since we last met. Let's put aside the serious matters and talk about our daily life first? "
"Sure. "
Lin Yan was not a particularly stubborn person. Most of the time, she was more transparent than anyone else, and she had a delicate heart. "What does grandfather want to talk about? "
"How's your grandfather's health recently? I often sneeze. He probably misses me a lot. "
Lin Yan smiled and replied, "his body is fine and he's in good spirits too. It's just that his legs aren't very agile. He has to sit in a wheelchair wherever he goes. "
Fu Zhanglin nodded slightly. His pair of sharp eyes looked at a certain place in the space, and his voice was filled with a lot of emotion "thinking back to the time when the two of US joined the army together, we experienced countless battles of all sizes and also brushed shoulders with the grim reaper countless times. However, I never thought that what separated us was not death, but separation. "
At his age, emotion and nostalgia took up most of his emotions, but it was only emotion and nostalgia, right Lin Yan thought so.
"You're still young. I wonder if your grandfather told you that the marriage between him and your grandmother was arranged by me? "
Lin Yan shook her head. "This... He didn't say. "
In fact, ever since he was young, his grandfather had never mentioned anything related to the Fu family. It was probably his weakness and also his wound. After all, after so many years of brothers turning against each other, no one would feel good about it Moreover, they had gone through life and death so many times, so their relationship must be extraordinary.
Fu Zhanglin sighed deeply again. "That's true. Why would he tell you these things? "
"Grandfather, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. "
Fu Zhanglin wanted to say something, but she directly interrupted him "You don't have to beat around the bush and play the family card. I'm not an unreasonable person. If what you say is reasonable and can convince me, I won't be as willful and willful as when I was young. "
He frowned. A few seconds later, he said in a low voice, "alright, Lin girl. Since you don't want to reminisce, let's not reminisce. Let's get straight to the point. "
"Alright, I'm listening. "
Fu Zhanglin took a deep glance at Lin Yan beside him and then looked at Fu Yihuai, who was sitting two seats away. "Have you brought everything? "
Fu Yihuai nodded. "I've brought it. "
Fu Zhanglin retracted his gaze from him and continued "Lin girl, Xiao Shan is a loving child. He always feels that he owes you and the dead child something. He has been living a muddle-headed life all these years. He doesn't even have a woman by his side who knows him well. I know what he's thinking. He's using this method to force us to compromise and let you return to his side. "
"As for GRANDPA, his body is not as strong as before, and he doesn't have the time and energy to compete with him anymore. Since he's so infatuated with you, and I'm powerless to change it, there's only one way left... "
At this point, Fu Zhanglin paused slightly.
In order to cooperate with him, Lin Yan hurriedly asked, "then what's the best way? "
Fu Zhanglin took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "if you're willing to follow him without a name or status, I can agree to the two of you being together. As long as you're not pregnant and don't deliberately ruin his relationship with the warm couple. "
"So, the best solution you gave me is to let me be his mistress? "
Fu Zhanglin put his hands on his delicate head and didn't answer for a long time, as if his body was a little uncomfortable.
Fu Yihuai's face slightly changed. He quickly took out the medicine bottle from the pocket of his suit and quickly poured two pills into Fu Zhanglin's hand. "GRANDPA, take the medicine quickly. "
Although Lin Yan was not a professional doctor, the English letters on the bottle could still be seen clearly. It was a drug to treat Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer's disease, commonly known as Alzheimer's Disease, was clinically characterized by memory impairment, APHASIA, loss of function, Agnosia, impairment of visual space function, impaired executive function, and personality and behavior changes.
The cause of the disease was still unknown. It was a major problem in the world of medicine. Once the disease was diagnosed, it could not be cured and could only be maintained by drugs until complete dementia.
After swallowing the pill, Fu Zhanglin took a moment to recover before he said, "Lin girl, what did I say just now? "
"You said that as long as I'm willing to follow Fu Qingshan without a name or status, you'll agree to us being together. As long as I don't get pregnant, I won't deliberately destroy his warm relationship with his wife. "
Lin Yan repeated this sentence very calmly, as if this sentence was not a particularly insulting statement to her self-esteem, or that she could already face any slander and harm with ease.
Fu Zhanglin nodded. "Yes, as long as you agree with what I said just now, I'll give you half of the shares of Shengshi Group. This money will be enough for your Lin family to rise again, and it will also be enough for you to live comfortably for the rest of your life. "
"What If... I don't agree? "
Lin Yan turned to look at Fu Zhanglin beside her. "GRANDPA, what can you do about me? "
Fu Zhanglin seemed to have guessed that she would say this, so he looked back at her. "Lin girl, do you think I came here to tell you this because I wanted to? "
Lin Yan raised her delicate eyebrows, waiting for the words that he was about to say.
As expected, in the next second, he said something that made her heart curl up. "I told Xiao Shan that he didn't object. In other words, if you agree, you can be together. "
"I don't believe it. "
Lin Yan quickly shook her head "Grandfather, Fu Qingshan is such a proud person. How could he be willing to be a puppet? How could he be unwilling to marry a woman that he didn't want to marry at all? " "Aren't you underestimating my intelligence a little too much? Or do you really think I'm a fool? "
Fu Zhanglin didn't say anything more. Instead, he placed the medicine bottle in front of her eyes "Lin girl, you saw the medicine I took. He does have his pride, but the premise is that his pride can be proud. With my current physical condition, do you think he will oppose me to the end? "
He stared at her without blinking, his every word extremely clear "To put it nicely, I still have a few years to live. To put it bluntly, I've been "dead" since I became mentally retarded. Do you think he'll go against a person who's about to die? "
The answer was no. Fu Qingshan valued loyalty and was extremely filial to his parents and elders. He was also a well-known filial son in Lin city. If Fu Zhanglin used this illness as a threat, he might indeed agree.
Lin Yan didn't say anything else. or rather, she had nothing more to say.
"Of course, you have another choice. "
As he spoke, Fu Zhanglin took out a box of medicine bottles from his pocket and placed it in front of her. "This is a medicine that can make a man make mistakes. You personally give it to him and then personally arrange a woman for him. I think... He will completely let you go. "
Jiang was indeed experienced and shrewd. This move was much simpler and clearer than Fu Yihuai's method of making her drug him and then kidnapping him back to Lin city.
She personally pushed him away. It was far more unforgettable than them kidnapping him back.
"Little Lin, you're so smart. You should know what you want. If you want to have a successful wedding and marry he xiaoting, then this is the best opportunity and method. Believe me, there's no other way to achieve immediate results than this method. "
Fu Zhanglin's every word was like a thousand arrows piercing through her heart. It made her doubt that she had lost her voice. After a long time, she squeezed out a sentence, "GRANDPA, what guarantee do you have that he won't continue to Pester us? "
Although the probability of him giving up was greater than the probability of him continuing to Pester them, it was just a small probability. It didn't mean that there was no chance.
"Little Lin, you know that he will definitely not continue to pester her. "
Fu Zhanglin did not say anything else because the two of them had already reached a tacit understanding.
Fu Yihuai had been sitting at the side watching Lin Yan and Fu Zhanglin the entire time. When the topic reached this point, he did not forget to add one more sentence "Although Wen Nuan is not my brother's best choice, with her ability and skill, she will not let my brother have the chance to Pester you again. Miss Lin, our Fu family's temple is too small. We really can not afford to support a great Buddha like you. Please be magnanimous. "
His friends and family didn't agree to be together with him, so it seemed that there was really no need for them to be together.
Moreover, no matter how shameless she was, she wouldn't be his mistress. This was her principle and also her bottom line.
"Okay, I've understood what you guys said. It's getting late. I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you guys to chat. "
Lin Yan picked up her handbag and hurriedly walked in the direction of the door of the private room. Before she pulled open the door, Fu Zhanglin's deep voice sounded behind her "Little Lin, when you see your grandfather, don't forget to say hello to him for me. We can't be good brothers in life. I hope that when we die, we can forget about the past and continue to be brothers. "
