Chapter 12: It Was As Ambitious As You Back Then

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Jiang Yi’s eyes were very clear. They had the unique clarity of a young girl. She had probably not experienced the harsh beatings of society and was not as smart as older people.

She looked up at him, and Fu Xiting felt like he had been seen through.

However, in just an instant, the feeling disappeared.

“Am I being a busybody?”

Fu Xiting’s tone was indifferent. He crossed his legs and looked at Jiang Yi with a cup of sobering tea.

Jiang Yi was still squatting on the ground with a cup of warm water in her hand.

“Will Mr. Fu admit to being a busybody?”

Jiang Yi’s soft question made Fu Xiting lower the smile on his lips.

“Mr. Fu wanted to send me here!”

“Are you so impatient?”

“Anyone who stays in a wolf’s den will want to escape.” She treated Yu Yuan as a wolf’s den, and Fu Xiting was a wolf in a wolf’s den. She really did not have a good impression of this person. In other words, before she understood her situation, she had to avoid him.

“Miss Jiang, don’t forget that this wolf den will be your permanent residence in the future.”

“Mr. Fu also said that it’s in the future. Perhaps I might do something wrong and Mr. Fu would change again!”

Jiang Yi’s tone remained indifferent, not confronting Fu Xiting directly. There was a hint of deliberate gentleness in her words.

Guan Qing couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Jiang Yi. She looked too much like a strong woman who had experienced many ups and downs. She wrapped herself in a layer of weak clothes to blind the eyes of the world.

She had a gentle tone and a strong personality.

Everything was just right.

“Miss Jiang seems to be looking forward to that day.” Fu Xiting stared at her and sized her up.

Jiang Yi shrugged. “I want to live the life of an ordinary person.”

Fu Xiting smiled faintly and bent down to place the cup in his hand on the coffee table. “What should we do? The Jiang family doesn’t think so.”

“Miss Jiang was born in the city, so she can’t run away.”

Fu Xiting leaned against the sofa and shook his head slowly. He looked at Jiang Yi with pity.

That kind of pity was almost impossible to hide. Jiang Yi’s fingertips turned slightly white as she watched him.

Fu Xiting was the kind of person who stood at the top of the food chain and looked down on all living beings. In front of him, Jiang Yi was a person who struggled bitterly but had no way out.

The two of them looked like cat and mouse.

“Mr. Fu, why do you have to do this? There are a lot of girls in the capital who want to play with you. Why do you have to find someone like me who hasn’t left school and isn’t of any help to you?”

Fu Xiting did not hide it. “Miss Jiang, haven’t you thought about it? What I like is that you’re not presentable.”

Jiang Yi felt a thousand curses run through her heart. Her hand that was holding the cup trembled a little.

A man like Fu Xiting stood at the pinnacle of power and had seen many life-and-death situations. People like him wanted someone they could control absolutely.

Not someone who would flare up at random.

“Mr. Fu, aren’t you afraid that I’ll cause trouble in the next few years?”

When Jiang Yi said this, there was hatred in her heart.

This world was too harsh on women.

There were people who wanted you to fail, and there were people who wanted to make things difficult for you if you’re surrounded by your family.

Fu Xiting was a classic example of such a person.

Why did he say that?

Jiang Yi saw him slowly reach out and knock on the coffee table. A fat cat slowly came out from under the coffee table and rubbed against Fu Xiting’s feet, looking up at him.

Fu Xiting pointed at the cat. “It should have the same ambition as you in the past.”

But at this moment…

Cold sweat broke out all over Jiang Yi’s body as she stared at Fu Xiting with even more vigilance.

“Mr. Fu’s hobbies are quite unique.”

“Miss Jiang isn’t bad either. You’ve hidden your true personality for so many years, making people think that you’re a harmless little white rabbit. I didn’t expect you to be so sharp.”

Bang! Jiang Yi placed the cup in her hand on the coffee table, staring at Fu Xiting with a cold gaze.

“Mr. Fu is just afraid that I’ll run away from home. Do you just want to pick me up and scold me?”

Fu Xiting’s lips curled up slightly as he answered Jiang Yi’s question in silence.

“Send Miss Jiang down. She won’t be able to eat the food in Yu Garden.”

The man got up and left the living room.

Guan Qing looked at Jiang Yi’s gloomy expression and did not dare to say anything else. He only said the word “please”.

Jiang Yi sat in the car, trembling with anger. If it was in the past…

If it was in the past, why would she let someone press her to the ground like this?

If it was in the past, Fu Xiting would not have dared to be so arrogant in front of her.

Guan Qing could clearly feel Jiang Yi’s murderous aura rising.

After sending her to Jiangnan Garden, he did not even have the time to say any polite greetings.

The slam of the door was deafening.

Jiang Yi carried her school bag into the house and saw that it was filled with people.

Even the old master of the Jiang family was there.

Everyone in the room stared at her and fell silent.

Only Yi Tian walked over nervously and grabbed her wrist. She kept saying that it was good that she was back.

“Come and sit,” the old master said as he looked at Jiang Yi.

As for Jiang Yi?

She had just been bullied by Fu Xiting. How could she be obedient now?

She stood still and looked at Jiang Ze.

Jiang Ze sighed. “Yiyi is tired today. Let’s talk tomorrow!”

Jiang Yi waited for Jiang Ze to finish speaking. Without saying anything, she turned around and prepared to leave.

“Stop right there.”

“Jiang Yi, you’re getting more and more disobedient.”

The old master’s angry voice sounded. The person who was originally sitting stood up from the sofa.

He glared at Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi slowly looked back, her eyes filled with indignation. “I’m disobedient? And then what? Since I’m so disobedient, why don’t you find someone obedient to marry out? For example, Jiang Si.”

“You’re presumptuous.”

“I’m presumptuous? If I were presumptuous, I wouldn’t have agreed to your marriage at all. If I were presumptuous, I would have run away long ago. You’re really impressive. My father has clearly separated from you, but you’re still rushing to drag us down with you? What are your intentions?”

“Bastard! You’re simply a bastard!”

Jiang Yi’s anger surged.

She wanted to find a place to hide, but she did not manage to do so. Fu Xiting scolded her and sent her back. It was fine if he sent her back, but there was still the old master waiting to deal with her.

Was she a punching bag?

All of them were rushing forward to hit her.

“If I’m a bastard, what are you? An old bastard?”

Jiang Yi turned around and walked toward the old master. Her fierce posture made the old master think that Jiang Yi was rushing to beat him up.

He was so frightened that he retreated.

“Yiyi.” Yi Tian reached out to hold Jiang Yi’s hand.

Slap!

The old master took this opportunity to slap Jiang Yi’s face, causing half of her brain to buzz.

Jiang Yi had lived for more than 20 years, but she had never been treated like this.

At this moment, the tears that she had been holding back for a long time burst out.
