After getting the answer they wanted, Yu Jialiang and Li Fengying left.
Li Kui walked over. “What was that? Why did you tell them that?”
“It’s the truth. What’s wrong with saying it?” Yu Yue didn’t think it mattered.
After sending those two away, Yu Yue thought to herself that if they had even a shred of intelligence, they definitely wouldn’t come to Zhongsheng Hall again under the pretense of checking the accounts just to annoy her.
If they dared to show up again, she would turn her words into reality.
She still had over a year until her twenty-fifth birthday—let’s just call it two years. They could still get twenty million from her during that time.
As long as they weren’t fools, they should know what to do.
“Big brother, are you done over there?” Yu Yue asked Li Kui.
“Yeah, is there something you want to talk to me about? Where’s Lin Lan? Did she go home to rest because she was tired?”
“No, something came up with one of her clients. She just left by high-speed rail.”
“Sigh, being a big-shot lawyer isn’t easy either.”
She had just returned yesterday and was already rushing off today.
“Enough sighing. Come on, let’s go to the office and talk.”
“You go ahead. I need to check the inventory first. I’ll be right there.”
“Okay.”
Yu Yue waited for ten minutes before Li Kui finally came in.
During those ten minutes, she almost fell asleep.
When Li Kui entered and saw Yu Yue looking drowsy, he couldn’t help but laugh. “Looks like this little one is going to be a sleepyhead. If that’s the case, being a mom will be easy for you.”
“Who’s talking about that?” Yu Yue chided him.
“Su Qingyue’s information—you have a lot of contacts. Have them dig up some paper records for me.”
“Why do you want Su Qingyue’s information? You’re not rivals in love with her.” Li Kui was puzzled.
“I’m not, but she and Lanlan are.”
Li Kui was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He first went to lock the office door, then turned and leaned closer to Yu Yue, whispering, “What do you mean?”
“It’s just a guess, but I’m almost certain.”
“Yu Yue, without evidence, we shouldn’t jump to conclusions. The evidence will be out by tomorrow morning at the latest. Can’t you wait a few more hours?”
“I can wait, but do you know who we ran into at Jing’an Temple today?”
“Who?”
“Su Qingyue.”
“What does that prove?” Li Kui retorted.
The capital isn’t that big, but it’s not that small either. Running into someone anywhere is just a matter of probability.
Besides, Su Qingyue has a daughter who suffered such a tragic fate. It’s perfectly normal for her to go to Jing’an Temple to pray for her daughter.
“…”
Yu Yue suddenly didn’t want to waste any more words on Li Kui.
After all, the thought process of ordinary people was quite different from hers.
When Su Qingyue saw Lin Lan, she was indeed very calm, showing no signs of anything amiss.
But in Yu Yue’s opinion, Su Qingyue’s reaction was too calm.
Precisely because of that, she believed that a performance with no flaws at all was the biggest problem.
“Don’t worry about it. Just get her information sorted out for me. I’ll handle the rest myself.”
“Fine.” Unable to resist Yu Yue’s insistence, Li Kui reluctantly agreed.
Just then, someone at the door didn’t bother knocking and tried to turn the doorknob directly, but it didn’t budge.
The next second—bang, bang, bang—
Three loud slams against the door made the two inside jump.
Who the hell is he? How can he be so rude?
Li Kui thought it was those troublesome dealers again, shamelessly begging for medicine.
He rolled up his sleeves, ready to confront them, when Fu Jingyan’s voice came from outside: “Yu Yue, open the door.”
“Pfft—”
Yu Yue was drinking water, and the moment she heard Fu Jingyan’s voice, for some reason, she choked spectacularly.
“Cough, cough, cough—”
Yu Yue’s coughing, accompanied by Fu Jingyan’s relentless knocking, gave Li Kui a splitting headache.
Without even thinking, he grabbed a tissue and handed it to Yu Yue so she could wipe herself, while responding to Fu Jingyan: “Alright, stop knocking, I’m coming!”
What kind of impatient creatures are these?
Can’t they wait a few seconds?
However, Li Kui’s words only made things worse. Fu Jingyan ignored the people outside trying to stop him and knocked even harder.
Even Yu Yue wondered if the guy had taken some kind of stimulant.
He just wouldn’t listen.
Li Kui jogged over to open the door. As soon as it swung open, before he could even speak, Fu Jingyan threw a punch straight at his nose.
Li Kui wasn’t physically weak, but he was caught completely off guard and was knocked down instantly.
Yu Yue was stunned by the scene. She never expected Fu Jingyan to barge in and punch her senior brother, Li Kui, right away.
She swallowed the water in her throat with difficulty, and her coughing was instantly cured.
She clumsily stood up and hurried over to see Li Kui’s sorry state.
“Are you insane? Fu Jingyan—” she frowned, shouting at him.
After yelling, Yu Yue bent down to help Li Kui up.
Fu Jingyan reached out and pulled Yu Yue toward him. She stumbled and fell against his chest, which was as hard as iron.
Li Kui, ignoring his still-bleeding nose, instinctively reached out to steady Yu Yue, worried she might fall.
Seeing this, Fu Jingyan kicked him again.
“Fu Jingyan, that’s enough,” Li Kui roared.
Enough was enough.
“Exactly, Fu Jingyan, what are you doing here causing a scene?” Yu Yue couldn’t bear to watch, wondering why her senior brother wasn’t fighting back.
Seeing the two of them acting in unison, Fu Jingyan felt extremely uncomfortable.
But he also knew his own position wasn’t solid enough.
“What are you two, a man and a woman alone, doing in a room in broad daylight? Yu Yue, wasn’t what I told you yesterday clear enough? Our Fu family can’t afford to lose face like this.”
“What does your Fu family losing face have to do with me? Why are you here causing trouble?”
“We’re not divorced yet, and you’re already getting involved with another man. And you tell me this has nothing to do with you?”
“I…”
Yu Yue was at a loss for words.
If only he were involved with Su Qingyue right now, that would be perfect.
Then she could throw it back at him.
Wait, whether he’s involved with Su Qingyue or not, her relationship with Li Kui isn’t the dirty kind he’s imagining, okay?
This man may be good-looking, but unfortunately, he has no brains.
“Fu Jingyan, are you just a pretty face?” Yu Yue regained her fierceness.
“…”
Fu Jingyan was initially angry at being called a pretty face by Yu Yue.
But then he remembered what Fu Shen said last night—that Yu Yue liked handsome men, and he happened to be one of them.
When he went to his room to sleep, he unexpectedly spent half the night scrolling through his phone.
Looking up some things.
He managed to find traces of evidence from the scattered comments of netizens that Yu Yue might actually like him.
“Thank you for the compliment,” Fu Jingyan said with a straight face.
“No, Fu Jingyan, did you hit your head on the door this morning?” Yu Yue was baffled. What on earth was all this?
Li Kui, lying on the floor, laughed.
Li Kui, who didn’t understand why he was still lying on the floor and hadn’t gotten up, didn’t even notice how brightly he was smiling.
Hearing the laughter, Fu Jingyan shot a cold glare over: “What are you laughing at? Shut up—”
Then, Li Kui obediently shut up.
When he realized how readily he had listened to Fu Jingyan and was about to defy him, Fu Jingyan didn’t even glance at him. Instead, he asked Yu Yue directly, “I have something to say to you. Should we go out to talk, or should he leave first?”
“…”
