Rose Manor

Chapter 64
When he couldn't figure it out, he stopped thinking about it. Lu Yanzhi asked Fu Jichen directly: "Where did the Pei family offend you?" He was so ruthless when he attacked, which showed that it was not a small grudge.

"You didn't mess with me." Fu Jichen didn't bother to find excuses to offend him, "I promised someone."

"Who?"

Who is it? Not only does he have a grudge against the Pei family, but he can also persuade Fu Da to help.

Lu Yanzhi racked his brains to check the people around Fu Jichen one by one. After going around in circles, he finally remembered Shen Jia Nian. Thinking of her life experience, he felt that he had found the right answer.

When the Lingyue Group was annexed by the Pei family, the information was blocked from the outside world in order to prevent the truth from being revealed. Most people did not know the inside story at all.However, it is almost impossible to hide such a big move from everyone.Although the Lu family's headquarters is in Yicheng, a large part of its business is linked to Beicheng. Lu Yanzhi has heard about this a long time ago.

"You, don't tell me that you did all this for Shen Jiannian!" Lu Yanzhi shouted at the top of his lungs, almost breaking his voice.

On the other hand, Fu Jichen looked calm and calm: "Isn't it possible?"

Lu Yanzhi didn't know what eyes to use to judge his expression at this moment. He didn't care about such a dangerous thing at all, as if he was saying "The moonlight is beautiful tonight."

"Are you really going to make enemies of the entire Pei family for Shen Jianian?" Lu Yanzhi did not joke with him, his expression was serious, "The Pei family is deeply rooted in Beicheng, and it is not as easy to destroy as it seems on the surface. If there is a slight mistake, your situation will be difficult. ”

The struggle within the Fu family will only become more intense than outside. Those so-called close relatives are waiting to see Fu Jichen fall into the mud and unable to get up, so that they can continue to compete for the position of heir.

One less person to compete means more hope, right?
Fu Jichen lazily raised his eyelids and didn't take it seriously: "It's just a Pei family."

Lu Yanzhi was speechless.

Compared with the Fu family, which has been rich for countless generations, isn't it just "a mere Pei family"?

Even so, as Fu Jichen's good brother, he had to give him some advice: "I know you like Shen Jianian very much, but it's not worth it. You can make her happy in many ways, and there is no need to hit on yourself." Don’t they all say that one more enemy is worse than one more friend? Even if we can’t be friends with the Pei family, it’s okay to live in peace. Why are you making enemies for yourself because you think your life is too comfortable? "

"When I listen to you now, it's like listening to a monk chanting sutras." Fu Jichen held his forehead with one hand and leaned against the back of the chair. His thin eyelids were half drooped, showing impatience.

Lu Yanzhi said angrily: "You are a monk!"

Fu Jichen smiled and said nothing.How could he be a monk? His emotions and desires have all been mobilized recently, and his life has been very fruitful.

Lu Yanzhi inadvertently saw the tooth mark at his tiger's mouth again, and looked at the curvature of the corners of his lips, and couldn't help but shake his head: "Just pamper her! Sooner or later, she will become arrogant. Even if nothing happens now, she dares to You are so arrogant here. If something happens in the future, don’t touch your nose or face."

The last time, he remembered that it seemed to be the day of the Qin family's wedding banquet. He went to Rose Manor to find Fu Jichen and planned to go with him. At that time, he saw a scratch on the man's neck.I saw it again today, and it was still in such a conspicuous part of the face!The hand was also bitten.

Men don't want to lose face?

Fu Jichen touched the tooth mark with his fingertips, raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you proud of your favor? I'm looking forward to it."

Lu Yanzhi: "You are hopeless."

The last Saturday of the year happens to be the 29th, so I need to go to work, and then the New Year's Day holiday officially begins.

Zhu Yilan looked at the schedule and crossed out the completed tasks one by one with a marker, leaving only one item. She took the contract to Fu Jichen to sign.

The process went smoothly. Zhu Yilan took the signed contract and stood in front of the desk and hesitated: "Mr. Chen, there is something..."

"Just tell me if you have anything." Fu Jichen capped the pen, put the pen back, and looked up at her.

Zhu Yilan: "The day after tomorrow is Miss Shen's birthday, do you need to prepare anything?"

She is the leader of the secretarial office, and she has to make arrangements for the boss's business and private affairs. Especially after the special assistant Song Fang was sent to Beicheng to do other work, Shen Jiannian, the assistant to the president, has not yet fully mastered, and many things require her personal intervention. .

Fu Jichen looked at the calendar on the table: "Her birthday is December 12st?" It's the last day of the year.

"Yes, I saw it in the employment information." Zhu Yilan replied.

Fu Jichen seemed to have seen her date of birth, but there were too many things on weekdays and he didn't bother to remember it. Fortunately, Zhu Yilan reminded: "You don't have to worry about it, I will arrange it myself."

"Okay, I understand." Zhu Yilan left the president's office. The sound of high heels on the floor became faster and faster, like a dense drum beat, until he stopped next to a pot of green plants in the corridor.

She pressed the folder to her heart and calmed her slightly rapid breathing.

Time heals all pain.This was indeed true, she seemed to be in less pain than she had been at the beginning.

She slowly accepted the reality and could calmly remind him that the birthday of the woman he loved was coming soon.

Zhu Yilan raised her face and raised the corners of her mouth to the air. Although she could not completely ignore it, she believed that sooner or later, she would be able to completely erase the traces of that person in her heart.

Even if she couldn't, she would bury it forever.

There is no real holiday for businessmen. During the New Year's Day holiday, Fu Jichen went to Beicheng on important matters.

He expected to return to Yicheng on the afternoon of the 31st, but encountered heavy fog and the flight was cancelled.

Fu Jichen decisively chose to take the high-speed rail.

Because of last-minute ticket purchases and the peak holiday season, the number of passengers traveling was several times higher than usual.All the good trains and seats were sold out, so after a lot of trouble, we didn’t arrive in Yicheng until around [-]pm.

During lunch, he took the time to call Shen Jianian and asked her what she wanted to eat at night.

It was snowing lightly in Yicheng. Shen Jianian had just finished lunch when he received the call. He was curled up on the sofa in his room, holding a cup of black tea in his hand and admiring the beauty of the green vegetation in the manor covered with a thin layer of snow through the window.

No one here knew that today was her birthday, and she didn't take the initiative to mention it.

Two days ago, she received a birthday gift from Beicheng from Bai Changxia.Originally, Bai Changxia had planned to come to Yicheng to give birth to her during the New Year's Day holiday. However, because her mother was ill and hospitalized, and her father had not returned from a business trip, she had to stay in the hospital to take care of the patient, so she had no choice but to cancel the trip.

"I want to eat roast chicken." Shen Jianian told Fu Jichen on the phone at that time.

Fu Jichen paused for several seconds: "That's it?"

"Ah."

Shen Jia Nian was deeply impressed. One year for her birthday, her mother personally cooked a roast chicken for her. The chicken belly was stuffed with vegetables and fruits, and the roast tasted very fragrant.

It had been a long time since she had tasted that taste, and she missed it so much in the cold winter when it was lightly snowing.

The sky was overcast, and the room was very dark without the lights on. Shen Jia Nian did not draw the curtains, read for a while and then went to bed. When he woke up, there was no light outside and it was completely dark.

She touched her phone on the pillow and looked at the time. It was already seven o'clock in the evening, and she was a little hungry.

Aunt Zhen didn't seem to come up to ask her for dinner?Are you afraid of disturbing her rest?

Shen Jianian rubbed his belly, got out of bed and put on his plush slippers, went to the bathroom and washed his face with cold water, feeling quite awake.

She took the elevator to the living room on the first floor. As soon as the elevator door opened, she smelled the rich aroma of roasted chicken. It was the kind of smell she liked. It was very similar to what her mother made, with the aroma of lemon and basil leaves.

For a moment, the memory in Shen Jia Nian's mind quickly regressed back to the birthday scene that year, and he was stunned there.

It wasn't until the elevator door was about to close that she raised her eyes in a daze, reached out to block the metal door that was about to close, and walked out of the elevator in two quick steps.

The aroma wafts from the kitchen, so it's obvious that it's not something you just bought in the market.

Shen Jia Nian thought that during the phone call at noon, Fu Jichen asked her what she wanted to eat. She just asked casually when she had nothing to say. She didn't expect that he would take action.

Does he know today is her birthday?
