Chương 37: Future

Rumors of Jiang Yue being disowned became a hot topic in the elite community. This time more people accused her of being unfilial and ungrateful.

"I heard that Jiang Yue wanted Young Master Fu for herself, so her father didn't have a choice but to directly disown her. I mean, who would want a shameless daughter like that?"

"Even my grandmother told me to stay away from Jiang Yue. She said that shamelessness is contagious."

"So now that Sister Jiang is to be engaged with the Fu Family, Jiang Yue decided to leave Senior Yu Chen and chase after Young Master Fu instead. How despicable."

"I'm sure she is jealous of her sister. After all, Sister Jiang is a true model of the youth. She is not only smart, but she is also very talented ah."

"Hmp! I saw Jiang Yue with Shen Rong a while ago. I don't know what has gotten into Shen Rong. She is still trying to be friends with Jiang Yue."

"Maybe Jiang Yue threatened her. Just like what she did to our headmistress!"

"We need to ask our Headmistress to expel Jiang Yue. She is a bad influence. I don't want her to become a part of our university."

"I agree. Come, accompany me to the Student President's office. We need to talk to Senior Yu Chen."

More and more students judged Jiang Yue based on the rumors. Many of them even suggested having Jiang Yue removed from the school.

However, Jiang Yue still didn't say anything. Shen Rong tried to convince her to do something, but Jiang Yue refused. Days passed as the rumors spread all over the City.

Now even people with lower status would sneer when they see Jiang Yue.

Yu Chen did not expect that the rumors will grow to this degree. However, he couldn't help but feel happy. He decided to use this opportunity to get close to Jiang Yue.

Whenever Yu Chen hear someone badmouthing Jiang Yue, he would immediately stop them. He even warns everyone in the school not to believe in rumors like that.

Yu Chen tried all he can to get close to Jiang Yue, but she seemed to become wind these days. She would appear and disappear almost at the same time.

While Yu Chen is having a hard time getting a hold of Jiang Yue, Lu Shi and Jiang Mian are feeling a little nervous. It had been almost 2 weeks and they still didn't hear anything from the Fu family. Both mother and daughter had been feeling a little gloomy in the past few days. But somehow, the thought of Jiang Yue suffering from all the rumors would immediately lift their mood.

Of course, Jiang Yue didn't see it that way. For her, this is an opportunity. An opportunity for her to be alone and make some plans. She needed a detailed plan for her company. Her schedule seems to be always full.

She was taking charge of everything for her company. She even designed their whole underground office and suggested some recipes for her cafe.

However, her schedule made Fu Jin sulk and walk around with a long face all day.

Jiang Yue was ignoring his calls. She did not send him any text messages aside from the thank yous with a smiley face every time he sends her gifts.

He felt it is a little unfair. He decided to woo her properly, but it seems she also decided to ignore him. He looked at the full body mirror in front of him and examine himself thoroughly.

He sure is very good looking. In fact, a lot of girls are swooning over him.

If it's not about his good looks, then it must be his… intelligence?

He massaged his chin as he thought about the possibility of Jiang Yue rejecting him because she thinks he is dumb.

That should be possible, right?

"Bei Ye." Fu Jin wanted to confirm something.

"Yes, young master?" Bei Ye immediately greeted him after walking inside Fu Jin's walk-in closet.

"Do you think I'm not good looking enough?" He inquired.

Bei Ye widened his eyes. This is the third time today that his young master asked him this question.

"You are very good looking Young Master." Bei Ye answered. He is wondering what has gotten into his young master today.

"Then do you think I'm dumb?"

"No young master, you are very smart."

"Hmmm… what do you think? Why is Jiang Yue is ignoring my calls and messages? Does she think I am not good enough for her?" Bei Ye can't help the sweat from forming on his head.

So, this is all about the young miss. "Young Master, the young miss is very busy today. I tried calling her grandfather early this morning and he said that the young miss is currently supervising the installation of computers in her office. Mr. Wang said that she is personally supervising all the tasks related to her own company." Bei Ye explained.

In fact, this is also not the first time that he told Fu Jin about this call. Fu Jin is just too absent-minded lately.

"Oh right. Grandfather told me about that company. Hmmm...tomorrow will be the National Exams but she is still busy doing something. She should relax for the exam tomorrow. Go...prepare the car. I will visit her today." Fu Jin declared. He tried not to follow Jiang Yue for a few days because of the National Exams. He thought she needed some time to study and prepare herself.

Fu Jin is already aware of her plans from Wang Guiren. He initially thought that she will wait until the end of the exams, but he did not expect her to be this hardworking. He looked at his reflection one more time before smiling at himself in the mirror.

Maybe his beloved is just busy with her company. That's why she was not able to answer his calls and messages.

…

When Fu Jin and Bei Ye arrived at Jiang Yue's future office, all they saw was a lot of construction. Bei Ye remembered that Jiang Yue's office will be underground, so he dialed grandfather Wang's number. Then he asked for someone to guide them to her location.

After almost 5 minutes, Shen Rong arrived to greet them.

"Young Master Fu, please follow me." She said as she gestured them to follow her. Shen Rong is already aware that Jiang Yue is acquainted with Young Master Fu.

Shen Rong had to ask Jiang Yue over and over before she decided to tell her about the identity of the man who ruined their dinner with Yu Chen. When Shen Rong found out that it was Fu Jin, she felt goosebumps all over her body.

She thought that the mighty Young Master from the Fu family is an aloof immortal who doesn't just smile to anyone. But the Young Master Fu that interrupted the dinner was very different from her expectations.

What surprised her, even more, is the fact that Young Master Fu is acting as if he is Jiang Yue's little wife.

Shen Rong could not forget his doting smile as he fed Jiang Yue the strawberries. He looked just like a wife waiting for her husband's praise.

That is just simply out of character ah. Who would believe her if she told someone about this? No one!

Shen Rong led both Fu Jin and Bei Ye into a series of security scans before leading them to a door with an eye scanner. Shen Rong, then provided all details before the steel door opened.

The place looked like a laboratory. Except this one has a lot of wires and monitors all over. Computer parts can be seen everywhere. Some on the floor, some dangling from the ceiling.

"Careful, not to step on anything." Shen Rong warned them. "Jiang Yue and Young Master Wang are not yet done with some of our computers so we haven't had the time to tidy everything. Here, follow me. Jiang Yue is in her office doing some paperwork." She said.

Both Fu Jin and Bei Ye followed her into another gray door. Shen Rong knocked three times before she opens the door and walks inside the office.

The whole office is painted black with white accents. The office is bare except for the mahogany desk with 2 monitors connected to each other. Then Fu Jin's eyes reached the person sleeping on the table in front of the computer.

"I…" Shen Rong was about to say something when she was shushed by Fu Jin.

Fu Jin gestured for both Shen Rong and Bei Ye to go outside and they immediately complied. Then he slowly walked towards Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue looked peaceful in her sleep. His heart thumped as he continued staring at her beautiful face. He could not help but smile.

'She looked like an angel. My angel.' He thought.

Then he let out a long sigh. Jiang Yue is indeed very busy. He wondered when was the last time that she had any proper sleep. Fu Jin then covered Jiang Yue with his jacket as he grabs a swivel chair and sat beside her.

He continued to stare at the sleeping Jiang Yue. Trying his best to memorize her features. Fu Jin can't help but feel scared of what the future might hold for the two of them.

But one thing is for sure. No matter what happens this time, he will never leave her alone. This time he will stand beside her. Loving her, protecting her, doting on her.

Fu Jin is still thinking about the future when feels the darkness slowly overcome him. Like a warm blanket. His consciousness ebbed, As he closed his eyes and let himself fall into another beautiful dream.

A dream of their future together.
