Rose Manor

Chapter 14 Making a Deal
Shen Jianian had just cried, her eyelashes were wet, and she looked at him in surprise.

Not because he learned that Yin Shuyao did this.She has now seen clearly what kind of person Yin Shuyao is, and anything outrageous she does will not be surprising.What really surprised her was that the man in front of her knew that she had a cousin. Does that mean he had found out her identity clearly?

Being able to live in such a luxurious and unique manor, it must not be difficult for him to find out the details of a person with his ability.

While thinking about it, Shen Jianian felt shuddering.

Fu Jichen had an insight into her thoughts at a glance, rubbed his fingertips against the sleeping lion carved from white jade, and smiled slightly: "Miss Shen, don't worry, I won't harm you."

Shen Jianian is willing to believe this sentence.She lived in his private place for several days, if he had any bad intentions, he could take advantage of her unconsciousness to succeed.

Apart from this body, she has nothing else to worry about.

Fu Jichen further explained: "I admit that I investigated your background only because of my personal habits. I don't feel at ease when people who don't know clearly are under my nose."

He spoke so frankly that Shen Jia Nian could understand it even more.The higher you are in a high position, the more cautious you must be in dealing with certain things. If you accidentally fall into your opponent's trap, you will end up in an irreversible end.Not to mention strangers, even if they have known each other for decades, they cannot be completely trusted. Her father just trusted his family friends too much...

Fu Jichen judged from her gradually relaxed shoulders and neck that she had put down her vigilance, so she changed the subject: "What is Miss Shen going to do?"

Shen Jianian didn't seem to understand, she raised her eyes in doubt.

"I'm talking about your cousin." Fu Jichen reminded.

Shen Jianian pursed her lips, lowered her head and fell into deep thought.

Ever since she moved into Yin's house and was placed by Hu Yuzhi in the messy attic on the top floor, Yin Shuyao hadn't stopped ridiculing her.She endured again and again, just because she didn't want to embarrass her uncle.She thought that Yin Shuyao could at most take advantage of her verbally, as long as she didn't argue with her, she would be able to live in peace.

No matter how harsh those words were, they would not kill her or make her lose a piece of flesh. She would just endure it.

When the man in front of her told her that it was Yin Shuyao who hired those people to bully her, she felt it was ridiculous.

In the past, Yin Shuyao was a caring and kind-hearted sister. Every summer vacation from Yicheng, when visiting her home, she would always bring her some specialties that she loved.

The two sisters lived in the same room and spent countless nights lying side by side on the large and soft bed talking about girlish thoughts. During the day they wore the same skirts and went shopping and had afternoon tea, and at night they went to see movies and concerts.

Thinking about it now, the deep love between sisters was all fake, and Yin Shuyao's superb acting skills deceived her.

At that time, the Shen family was prominent, and Yin Shuyao would get a lot of benefits from befriending her, wearing the high-end dresses and expensive jewelry in her closet, going in and out of member-only restaurants and attending flashy banquets in her name.

Shen Jianian picked up the water glass and took a sip, the warm water slid down her dry and stinging throat, she said resignedly, "Forget it."

With her current situation where she can't protect herself, what can she do to Yin Shuyao?
"If I say I can help you." Fu Jichen's tone was casual, as if nothing in the world could trouble him.

Shen Jianian slowly clenched her fists, and the unwillingness and anger that had been suppressed in her heart emerged. She is not a soft persimmon, and it is impossible for her to treat Yin Shuyao with a normal heart after two incidents where her innocence was almost destroyed.

"I think—" Shen Jianian pondered for a while, then paused word by word, "Treat me with my own way."

Would he find her vicious?Shen Jianian looked at the man's expression, only to see that he raised his eyebrows and said three words: "Not stupid."

Shen Jianian swallowed the cold medicine, and the bitter taste spread from the base of her tongue. She frowned slightly, and quickly opened the lid of the iron box, took out a piece of chocolate cookie, and chewed it in her mouth.

The sweetness invaded the taste buds and drove away the bitterness brought by the pills, and her frowning brows relaxed.

Before Fu Jichen left, he saw her childish appearance, compared with the indifference and alienation she showed when he met her in the elevator for the first time, it was really strange.

The sequelae brought about by the repeated illness were particularly long-lasting. For several days, Shen Jia Nian was so weak that he never left the guest bedroom.Three meals a day are brought to the room by Zhou Rongzhen, and medicines are taken on time after meals.

Shen Jia Nian stopped mentioning leaving. The last incident left a deep shadow on her. She didn't dare to show off before her body recovered.

On this day, Shen Jianian was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, without a mobile phone, she was in a daze most of the day.Zhou Rongzhen was afraid that she would be bored, so she sent some magazines.

She wasn't interested in those things, her mind kept running, and what she thought most about was how to get back the Lingyue Group.

When it was lunch time, someone knocked on the door as in the past few days. Shen Jianian sat up and got out of bed. Knowing that it was Zhou Rongzhen, she went to open the door.

It was indeed Zhou Rongzhen.

She didn't hold anything in her hand, and when she saw Shen Jianian, she just smiled and said: "Miss Shen, sir, please go downstairs to the restaurant for dinner."

Shen Jianian was so surprised that she forgot all the reactions for a moment.

"Go, the dishes are already on the table." Zhou Rongzhen's gentle voice brought her a little comfort, "Staying in the room all day is not good for your health. Today's weather is fine, you can go for a walk in the garden after dinner, the flowers are in full bloom It's beautiful."

"Okay, I'll go over immediately."

Shen Jianian went to wash her face to refresh herself, and followed Zhou Rongzhen downstairs to the restaurant.

Several delicious dishes were placed on the huge long dining table. The man sat on one side, waiting quietly, casually flipping through a menu on the side of the table, seemingly fascinated by it.

Shen Jianian still doesn't know his name or identity, but only knows that the servants in the manor call him "Sir" with a respectful attitude. From this, she speculates that his family background is extraordinary, not just a simple wealthy family.

The temperament built up by money alone is different from the confidence brought by power. This person should belong to the category where money, power, fame and fortune are not lacking.

"Here you come? Sit down and eat." Fu Jichen caught a glimpse of a beautiful figure from the corner of his eye, closed the book and put it back in its original place.

Shen Jianian pulled out the chair and sat down opposite him, with her knees together, her hands resting on her lap naturally, not knowing what to say, she nodded to him.

The atmosphere was somewhat silent, but fortunately Fu Jichen was not a talkative person.

The two of them ate separately. Shen Jianian picked up a piece of shrimp and made very little noise while eating. Such a dining atmosphere made people feel gastrointestinal discomfort.

Shen Jianian took a deep breath, not intending to act as an ignorant girl again: "Mr. Chen, I want to be with you..."

"Wait." Fu Jichen looked at her, the corners of his mouth seemed to rise, but the arc was not obvious, "Who did you hear that my surname is Chen?"

Shen Jianian was interrupted, and all the courage she had gathered suddenly dissipated. She hesitated and said, "The driver who took me back to Yin's house that day called you Mr. Chen."

Fu Jichen coughed lowly: "My surname is Fu, not Chen."

Shen Jianian was so embarrassed that she forgot to blink, stared at him for a few seconds, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I made a mistake. Mr. Fu, I think..."

Locked in his gaze, Shen Jia Nian was so nervous that she was too embarrassed to say those words.

Fu Jichen waited patiently. There was no one else in the restaurant except them. There was only an orange kitten who appeared at some unknown time. He walked over gracefully, jumped onto an empty dining chair, and "meowed" at the dining table. called out.

There was steamed seabass on the table, and the kitten came after smelling it.

Fu Jichen frowned lightly, temporarily ignoring the cat and staring at the person opposite.

Shen Jianian has lived in the manor for a long time. Although she has never left the room, she knows that three stray cats and two stray dogs have been adopted in this garden.

Only this incident made her conclude that the owner of the manor is a caring person.

"What do you want to say?" Fu Jichen raised his wrist to look at his watch. He has something to go out next, and there is not much time left for her.

Shen Jianian broke her heart and said boldly, "Mr. Fu, I want to make a deal with you. You help me get the company back, and I'll do your best for you indefinitely, is that okay?"

He has investigated her identity and background and is clear about her current predicament. She will not go into unnecessary details. It is better to explain her purpose directly.
