Rose Manor

Fu Jichen heard her words clearly, and his expression changed instantly. Although the change was very subtle, Shen Jianian still caught it, his heart dropped heavily, and the eyes looking at him were complicated and difficult to distinguish.

"Is that you?" Shen Jianian said these three words, using up all his energy.

After saying that, Shen Jianian pursed her lips tightly, not wanting to lose her composure, but she still couldn't stop her lips from trembling.

"Who said this in front of you?" Fu Jichen held her wrist with a bit of strength, took a step forward, and took her away from the noisy center to a quieter corner.

You can still hear the music played by the symphony orchestra here, so cheerful, which makes her expression even more sad at the moment.

Shen Jia Nian tried his best to hold it back, but couldn't control it in the end. There was moisture in his eyes, and his heart that had already sunk to the bottom continued to sink, as if it would never reach the bottom.

Fu Jichen actually didn't deny it.

His response to this was to ask her who told her.

Fu Jichen was very good to her, really very good, so why was it him?

Why did even the people she trusted the most and least suspected deceive and hide things from her like a fool? Why could he still fall in love with her and marry her after doing such a thing?

Could this be a new conspiracy?

What else does Fu Jichen want from her? She has nothing left...

Breaking away from his hand, Shen Jia Nian staggered back, her eyes full of despair and loss. She and he were already a certified couple, how would he let her deal with herself in the future?

"Jianian." Fu Jichen stepped forward and held her hand again to prevent her from running away from him. Knowing that she had misunderstood, he first explained, "I didn't do it."

Shen Jia Nian did not dispel all her doubts. The tears finally burst out of her eyes: "The Fu family did it, right?"

She is not stupid. Yin Shuyao cannot believe everything she says. She said Fu Jichen did it, which may not be true. Yin Shuyao wants to drive a wedge between her and Fu Jichen. If she falls for the trick, Yin Shuyao's goal will be achieved. But Yin Shuyao said so confidently that it couldn't be completely false.

Seeing the crystal tears falling from the corners of her eyes, Fu Jichen's heart almost broke. He had secretly sworn that he would never let her cry in sadness in the future, but he failed to do it, making her so sad on her big day.

Gently wiping away the tears on her cheeks with his fingertips, Fu Jichen was heartbroken and a little helpless: "Stop crying, okay? I'll tell you everything you want to know."

Shen Jia Nian struggled to say each word one by one: "Just tell me if it's the Fu family."

"Things are not that simple to explain -" Fu Jichen sighed and decided not to delay any longer and explain it in a way she could understand. "At that time, I was sent by the old man to manage the subsidiary company in Yicheng. My second uncle, third uncle, and There are aunts who are fighting fiercely among themselves, and they all want to achieve results in front of the old man and sit in that position..."

As the saying goes, when gods fight, little devils suffer, and Shen is the innocent one who gets affected.

They were vying to expand the Junshan Group's territory. They didn't want to spend more energy and wanted to achieve their goals in the shortest time, so they focused on the ready-made sectors that the Shen family's Lingyue Group could handle. There are several, and some of them are even better than Junshan.

Fu Jianfang was the first to come up with the idea, but her every move could not be hidden from the other two people, namely Fu Qizhen and Fu Huaxian. Both wanted a piece of the pie, but Fu Jianfang reluctantly agreed. Fu Zhengyun is upright and cannot collude with them. He rarely pays attention to their movements, so he knows nothing about this matter.

They knew where the old man's bottom line was, and they didn't dare to act like a rat blatantly, so they secretly recruited Pei's accomplice as a cover.

Pei Fengnan is also a man who seeks fame and reputation. With huge interests before his eyes, he has thrown all the brotherhood and life-and-death friendship out of the window. He was thinking that by annexing the Shen family, the Pei family would be able to move to the next level.

In the middle of the plot, the Fu family members accidentally leaked the news and let a senior executive within the Junshan Group know about it. The senior executive was a confidant of the old man, and he immediately revealed what he knew to the old man.

The old man has valued the Fu family's face more than anything else in his life, so he naturally doesn't allow things like this to happen, lest he be shaken out in the future and get poked in the back.

Under fair competition, Junshan Group is already an unshakable existence. There is really no need to take risks and use despicable means to bring down the Shen family and become that despicable villain.

The old man had great prestige, and the children and grandchildren of the Fu family did not dare to disobey the old man's wishes, so the plan was suspended.

However, Pei Fengnan, who was dragged aboard the pirate ship by the Fu family, could not easily suppress his ambitions. He was unwilling to give up the benefits he was about to obtain, so he used his own efforts to plan according to the original plan and finally annexed the Shen family. .

After doing this, Pei Fengnan was also afraid of being exposed, so in order to seek shelter, he gave many benefits to the Fu family. It was Pei Fengnan who did it. The Fu family didn't get their hands dirty, so it didn't count as breaking the old man's rules. After getting the benefits, they naturally helped the Pei family hide the truth.

The outside world only knows about the fall of the Shen family, but not the real reason. Only a few people have heard that it was the Pei family, but no one guessed that the Fu family was responsible, and no one knows that the Pei family was originally a shield brought by the Fu family.

If there were not those few people in the Fu family fighting for power, the plan to plot the Shen family would not have been born, and Pei Fengnan would not have been motivated by interests and put it into action.

Ultimately, the Fu family was responsible for the Shen family's destruction, but Pei Fengnan was the only one who took action from beginning to end. "This is the truth of the matter. I didn't lie to you, Jia Nian." Seeing that Shen Jia Nian no longer struggled and resisted, Fu Jichen hugged her into his arms again, his voice was low and slow, "When I knew the matter, I was in Yicheng, and I remember it very much. Clearly, that night you fell to the ground and begged me to save you. I took you back to the manor. At about two o'clock in the morning, I saw the reason for the collapse of the Shen family in the study, and I learned about you from that. identity of."

At that time, he didn't expect that he and Shen Jia Nian would have such a deep bond in the future, so when he learned about it, he just casually sighed: Shen is unlucky.

Several members of the Fu family were fighting, and the Shen family suffered. Isn't it unlucky?

If he could have predicted in advance that he would have this day with Jianian, he would not have been so indifferent and just sit back and watch... But there are never ifs in this world, so there are regrets and regrets.

"Promise me you won't cry, okay?" Fu Jichen's heart seemed to be crumpled into a ball, and he gently stroked Shen Jia Nian's back with his palms, as if doing so could soothe her turbulent emotions, "If you are still alive, why? It’s okay with me, don’t torture yourself.”

Shen Jianian's eyelashes were still wet, and the last drop of tears fell on his black suit, leaving a mark darker than black.

After brewing for a long time, Shen Jianian finally spoke, with a cry in his voice and a sullen voice: "Are you still hiding something from me?"

Fu Jichen's hand caressing her back paused, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment. If the answer is "no", then he is lying to her. If the answer is "yes", then how should he tell her that they lost a child. He didn't want her to suffer that kind of pain.

He was silent for too long, and Shen Jia Nian knew the answer in his heart. She raised her eyes and looked at his face: "You still have something to hide from me."

Same words, this time in the affirmative.

"It has something to do with me, right?" Shen Jianian added.

Everyone has secrets. She doesn't have to get to the bottom of it and ask Fu Jichen to explain everything. She never asks about the business secrets he holds, but she can't help but care about things related to her.

She didn't want to hear some true or false information about herself from others like this time, causing misunderstandings about him.

Fu Jichen sighed softly and said in a solemn tone: "I promise you, I just didn't want you to get hurt by hiding it from you. I had no other intention. If you don't believe it, how about I swear an oath? Well, let me think about how to say it - - I, Fu Jichen, if what I conceal causes harm to Shen Jia Nian, I will be struck by thunder."

"Don't..."

Shen Jianian wanted to stop him anxiously, but took a step slower and let him finish.

"Don't talk nonsense!" She could only grab Fu Jichen's sleeve in vain and shake it violently. "Stop it quickly and tell God that what you just said doesn't count."

"Do you still blame me?" Fu Jichen did not take back his vow as she said. He only cared about whether she still had resentment against him in her heart.

"It's not weird anymore, it's not weird anymore." Shen Jianian repeated anxiously, "Quickly say that your oath doesn't count!"

Just don't blame him, nothing else matters. Fu Jichen showed a relaxed smile and said to her: "God has heard the vow I made, and I can't take it back. Jianian, I will never hurt you."

Shen Jianian's eyes turned red again, and the tears that had stopped were out of control and overflowed: "Why are you so nice to me, why are you doing this..."

"Why are you crying again?" Fu Jichen sighed silently, and raised his hand to continue wiping her tears, "Don't you know why I'm nice to you? You are my wife, the one who will stay with me for the rest of my life, it's me favorite person."

Shen Jianian's tears flowed more fiercely. Fu Jichen couldn't wipe them away no matter how hard he tried, so he gave up and said, dumbfounded: "What if someone comes over and thinks I've bullied you."

Less than three seconds after saying these words, an exclamation came from the side: "Jianian, why are you crying?!"

Bai Changxia drank too much wine, his cheeks were red, and his eyes widened when he saw this scene unexpectedly.

Shen Jia Nian was startled by the sudden sound and turned around to see not only Bai Changxia, but also Zhao Shunyi. Even after Bai Changxia's roar, many guests looked over curiously.

"Who bullied you?" Zhao Shunyi asked what was on his mind, and glanced at Fu Jichen unconsciously. She did not dare to name him directly, but her eyes seemed to say, did Fu Jichen bully you.

Fu Jichen pursed his thin lips and gave Shen Jianian an "I knew it would be like this" expression.

Shen Jia Nian sniffed and tried to calm down her emotions: "No, it's none of his business..." She quickly thought about it and thought of a reason, "I was moved to tears."
