Chapter 568 I am a principled eavesdropper
"If you don't have the money, then just drag it out. Give it to them whenever you've saved up enough."
"Father, how can this be? They won't agree."
"That's none of our business. Let them sue you. At worst, we can mortgage our house back home to them."
"They don't want it."
"If this won't work and that won't work, then don't come asking me. Figure it out yourself."
Fang Qing stamped her feet in frustration, but there was nothing she could do.
The two sides were in a stalemate.
……
Yi Yunshuo was very excited today. He wanted to talk to Fu Huaiyi about it while he was at work, but he didn't get the chance.
After get off work, she pulled Fu Huaiyi aside and said, "Something terrible has happened, do you know?"
Fu Huaiyi: "I noticed something was off about you when I was at work. So, what's the big deal?"
He looked around and said, "There are so many people here, it's really hard for me to speak. Let's go eat first, and I'll tell you slowly when we get back to the dorm."
Now that they're not rushing to complete projects, they've returned to a normal routine, with a lunch break after lunch, usually spent going back to their dormitories.
Everyone went to the cafeteria, and Lu Jiangting was no exception.
The plaster on his face was very noticeable, and many people asked him what happened.
He answered that he fell off his bike.
No one suspected anything.
Fu Huaiyi frowned and glanced at him, then asked in a low voice to Yi Yunshuo, who was sitting opposite him, "Is what you're talking about related to him?"
Yi Yunshuo nodded hurriedly.
Fu Huaiyi roughly knew what had happened, but he didn't realize it was so explosive.
After quickly finishing their meal, the two hurried back to their dormitory.
Because they were experienced at eavesdropping in the toilets, and fearing being overheard in return, they would always block the toilet door tightly before revealing anything important.
This time, even the cracks under the door, including those of Yi Yunshuo, had to be covered with rags.
Fu Huaiyi: "Are you serious?"
"As for it," Yi Yunshuo said seriously, "Although I'm a gossip, I'm a man of principle. This matter is no small thing; if word gets out, it could lead to someone's death. And if someone dies and it all comes back to me, what would that be like?"
It's rare to see him so serious.
Fu Huaiyi also lowered his voice, "What is it? Tell me."
"Oh dear, Wang Jianguo is here. He immediately started messing around with Fang Qing, and then he beat her up. Lu Jiangting found out."
Fu Huaiyi: "..."
Yi Yunshuo recounted everything he had overheard the previous night, concluding, "Lu Jiangting doesn't yet know that the man is Wang Jianguo. Fang Qing's lies came out so easily; she said it was done by a drunk thug. Lu Jiangting sensed she was lying, but he had no evidence."
Fu Huaiyi lowered his head and remained silent.
Yi Yunshuo nudged him with his elbow and said, "Do you think we should do something?"
"doing what?"
Yi Yunshuo: "..." Yeah, what should we do?
"Let's wait and see, and talk about it when the time is right."
"Okay, hey, I'll walk with you after work today. I'll go and meet Wang Jianguo too."
Fu Huaiyi: "You're so idle."
"Yeah, we're just killing time anyway."
Fu Huaiyi: "..."
……
After get off work, Yi Yunshuo followed Fu Huaiyi to Chenshan Town.
The car stopped at the intersection, and Fu Huaiyi got out and tossed the keys to Yi Yunshuo.
"Drive it back and park it downstairs in the apartment complex."
Yi Yunshuo looked completely bewildered. "Where are you going?"
"I'll pick Yao Yao up from get off work."
"Oh? Then let's drive over and pick him up."
"She won't take a car, she'll walk."
Yi Yunshuo: "..." What's wrong with him?
"Wait a minute, I'll go with you."
"What are you going to do?"
“I haven’t been there in a long time. I heard that Sister Lin’s company is doing very well. I’ll go and see for myself.”
I might as well just park the car on the side of the road, then catch up with Fu Huaiyi and go to Lin Yuyao's company with him.
The third floor is now used as a magazine publishing house, and the fourth floor as a film and television company.
The place is small and feels crowded, but it's very lively.
Everyone recognized Fu Huaiyi and knew he was there to pick someone up, so they all greeted him with smiles.
As usual, we left together after picking them up.
Yi Yunshuo followed closely behind.
The people at the film company were all hired later, and most of them didn't know Yi Yunshuo. They were whispering among themselves about who the person who came with Fu Huaiyi was.
"Judging from his walking posture and demeanor, he should be just like the boss's father."
"She looks so young, I wonder if she has a boyfriend or not."
Ye Xiaotong had just come upstairs when she heard several colleagues talking.
When everyone saw her, they asked, "Xiaotong, do you know that young man who came with President Lin's husband?"
"We know each other, so what?"
She had just run into them, greeted them, and then hurried upstairs.
Does he have a girlfriend?
Ye Xiaotong: "..."
"I'm sorry, we're not very familiar with each other, so I don't know."
"You're related to President Lin, I thought you two were close."
Ye Xiaotong explained, "We just know each other, we're not very close."
No one asked any more questions.
After tidying up, Ye Xiaotong should go home from get off work.
She took her lunchbox to the cafeteria to eat, and then went back home to avoid having to cook again.
As soon as I went downstairs, Lin Yuyao called me back.
"Xiaotong, don't go to the cafeteria, come out to eat with us."
Ye Xiaotong looked at them and asked with a smile, "Yuyao, are you treating everyone today?"
Lin Yuyao smiled and said, "It's perfect timing that Brother Yi is here. None of us have eaten yet, so let's go have a meal together. It'll be more lively with more people."
"Okay, wait for me a moment."
Ye Xiaotong gave the lunchbox to Zhou Jing, who was working overtime, and left it with her for the time being, so she wouldn't go upstairs.
It's the same restaurant, owned by the Fu family, the best restaurant in the area.
The waiters knew them well, and when they saw them coming, they led them directly to a private room.
While waiting for dinner, Yi Yunshuo couldn't resist his gossipy mouth and blurted out all about Lu Jiangting and Fang Qing.
He spoke with great enthusiasm, spitting as he spoke, and was unusually excited.
Lin Yuyao and Ye Xiaotong frowned deeply, their mouths never closing.
They are quite traditional; they simply cannot accept such chaos.
Fu Huaiyi glanced sideways at Yi Yunshuo and said, "Didn't you say you're a principled person who wouldn't say such things carelessly?"
Yi Yunshuo: "..."
"Yes, I wasn't making this up. Everything I said was true."
Fu Huaiyi: "Is this your principle?"
"No, Brother Yi, why are you stabbing me? Sister Lin and Xiao Ye aren't strangers, what's wrong with me saying something?"
Fu Huaiyi: "..."
"Besides, even if... even if I have no principles, they are people with principles. I believe they won't tell anyone about these things."
"Cough cough cough cough..." Lin Yuyao almost choked on her drink.
Fu Huaiyi quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe her mouth and then patted her back.
Yi Yunshuo seemed a little worried, and then said weakly, "You won't tell anyone, will you?"
