章節 27: Chapter 27
編輯: Dragon Boat Translation
The next day, when Fu Youhan was preparing to leave, Old Madam Fu was reminiscing about Ling Ye and Ling Hua.
He paused his wheelchair and said, "When I come back, should I bring them both with me?"
After Fu Yun Tian, the eldest of the Fu family, divorced, Ling Yinan was reluctant to have any contact with the Fu family except for Fu Youhan.
During the divorce, Ling Yinan was pregnant with their third child and couldn't take care of Ling Ye and Ling Hua properly.
Fu Youhan learned about it and arranged for two caregivers to help and occasionally lend a hand to Ling Yinan when needed.
Although Ling Yinan later gave birth to a stillborn child prematurely, she acknowledged Fu Youhan's kindness.
Therefore, if Fu Youhan wanted to meet Ling Ye and Ling Hua, Ling Yinan wouldn't object.
Old Madam Fu immediately lit up with joy and said, "Yes, yes, it's been so long since we've seen them. I'll instruct the kitchen to prepare nutritious food for them. You must bring them back."
"I understand."
He then left for his errands.
By the time he finished, it was already evening. He asked Chi Jing to drive straight to the entrance of the technical college, planning to pick up Ling Ye first and then Ling Hua.
Fu Youhan sent a message to Ling Ye, and not long after, Ling Ye came rushing out of the college with his backpack and quickly got into Fu Youhan's car.
"Uncle, Hua Hua might need another half an hour. They finish school quite late these days," Ling Ye said.
"Is she finishing school late or coming home late?" Fu Youhan inquired, and Ling Ye awkwardly scratched his head. "Hey, I can't hide anything from you, Uncle."
"She's in her senior year, yet she's running around all the time?" Fu Youhan inquired with a hint of concern.
Speaking of Ling Hua, Ling Ye also looked troubled. "Yeah, she's out early and returns late every day. I guess it's because I didn't take the college entrance exam seriously back then, setting a bad example for her."
In the past, Ling Hua's academic performance was excellent, and she was well-behaved and sensible.
With the good genes from the Fu family, she had a fair and pretty appearance even without makeup.
However, due to their parents' divorce and living alone with their mother, people started gossiping about them, which led to many people distancing themselves from them.
Perhaps because of this, Ling Hua valued those so-called friends even more. They would dress in Lolita dresses and heavy makeup, and in order to fit in, Ling Hua followed suit.
Eventually, she lost interest in studying and started wandering around with that group of friends.
With the college entrance exam approaching, both Ling Yinan and Ling Ye were anxious, but no matter how much they advised and persuaded her, Ling Hua remained indifferent.
Fu Youhan was somewhat aware of these circumstances, and he didn't want such a bright child to waste her education.
After a moment of contemplation, he suggested, "Let's find an experienced tutor to help her with this last year's sprint."
As they continued their conversation, Chi Jing couldn't help but mutter as they encountered traffic, "What's going on? Why did so many people gather all of a sudden?"
His words made Fu Youhan and Ling Ye unconsciously look out the window. People were gathered near the junction of Top One University and the technical college, where a striking yellow Ferrari convertible was parked. Lin Xian was holding a teddy bear proportional to his size, blocking Jiang Moxi's path.
Fu Youhan's black pupils deepened slightly. Although he hadn't been in love much, he had enough life experience to see through certain situations. Seeing the teddy bear and Lin Xian's blushing appearance, he could roughly guess that Lin Xian was trying to impress Jiang Moxi.
It seemed that Jiang Moxi wasn't just playing hard to get with him; she was doing the same with others as well. So, even if they had been intimate, she wasn't in a hurry to pursue any benefits because she had plenty of people to choose from.
At that moment, Fu Youhan found himself disgusted by how much attention he had been giving to Jiang Moxi for the past few days.
He even urged Chi Jing, "Hurry and take a detour to pick up Hua Hua."
However, at that moment, Ling Ye suddenly spoke up, "Wait."
Ling Ye had not been present during Lin Xian's previous confession to Jiang Moxi, and being a non-gossipy person, he remained unaware of any changes that had occurred between Lin Xian and Jiang Moxi.
Seeing the scene, he thought it was just another showdown between the top students and the unattractive ones, a monthly occurrence.
As for the teddy bear, it was probably Lin Xian's weapon to attack Jiang Moxi!
In the past, Ling Ye might have ignored it, but now Jiang Moxi had done him a favor, so how could he allow someone from Top One University to target her?
He immediately said to Fu Youhan, "Uncle, just wait for me for a moment. I'll go help out and be right back."
Without waiting for Fu Youhan's response, he pushed open the car door and walked towards Jiang Moxi and Lin Xian.
Meanwhile, Fu Youhan stared at Jiang Moxi's heavily made-up profile, his eyes dark and mysterious.
As if sensing something, Jiang Moxi suddenly looked in their direction.
She saw Fu Youhan staring coldly at her through the lowered car window.
In that brief moment of eye contact, a hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Moxi's eyes, while Fu Youhan's gaze held a clear mockery.
But Jiang Moxi didn't have time to contemplate what he might be mocking as Lin Xian continued, "Moxi, in this world, apart from my parents, I've never cared about someone like this..."
Before this, Lin Xian had already spoken countless words of confession at length.
Feeling fed up, Jiang Moxi cut him off bluntly, "I've told you, don't come looking for me again! Otherwise, I won't be nice!"
At this point, Ling Ye joined them, saying, "Moxi, do you need to fight? Should I call some backup?"
"Ling Ye?" Lin Xian looked at the person in front of him with some confusion.
He was certainly familiar with Ling Ye. After all, Ling Ye was the school tyrant at the Technical Institute and also placed second last in the institute.
He was often used as a negative example by professors at Top One University.
But how did this person have such a good relationship with Jiang Moxi?
Did he know that Jiang Moxi is actually very beautiful?
"No need," Jiang Moxi replied, confident that she could handle Lin Xian all by herself.
Ling Ye had experienced Jiang Moxi's punch before, so he knew she didn't need his help. However, he thought that making the situation a bit more intense might discourage Lin Xian from constantly bothering Jiang Moxi in the future.
He took out his phone, about to call his buddies and have them come over to confront Lin Xian. But before he could make the call, Lin Xian asked a question.
"Jiang Moxi, what's your relationship with Ling Ye?"
Without waiting for Jiang Moxi's response, Ling Ye immediately rebuked him, "What business is it of yours?"
Lin Xian seemed to realize that he had no standing to ask such a question and quickly explained, "Jiang Moxi, I didn't come here today to make you accept me. I just wanted to explain that I had no prior knowledge about the drink being spiked with something in the night club. It was Cheng Mingxiu who prepared it. He only told me after you had taken the drink."
Jiang Moxi remained expressionless, seemingly skeptical of his explanation. On the other hand, Ling Ye couldn't contain his anger and raised his voice, "You and Cheng Mingxiu are so shameless to spike Jiang Moxi's drink?"
Not far away, inside a discreet luxury car, Fu Youhan was considering calling Ling Ye back, but just as he was about to dial, he overheard their conversation. His gaze darkened instantly.
