Seeking love through marriage: Mr. is too arrogant

There was no burnt smell in the air.

Fu Qingye stared at Tang Bao for a while, and finally looked away.

He turned and left the kitchen and walked towards Jiang Manxue's studio.

Fu Qingye rarely stepped here.

Even if sometimes Jiang Manxue missed her meal due to work, Fu Qingye would only knock on the door to remind her.

Because in Fu Qingye's view, the studio is where Jiang Manxue works and inspires her.Generally, without Jiang Manxue's consent, he would not set foot here easily.Just like Jiang Manxue doesn't often come into his study.

Fu Qingye carefully kept enough private space for each other.

This was the first time he entered Jiang Manxue's studio when she was away.

Because he remembered that Jiang Manxue told him just now that the reason why the chicken soup became mushy was because she had a sudden inspiration and went to work in the studio.

Fu Qingye pushed open the door of the studio, and the things inside were arranged in an orderly manner.

The drawing board that Jiang Manxue usually uses is there, and it is covered with a dustproof cloth, which has not been removed.

There was no smell of paint in the air either.

Fu Qingye looked around the studio silently, then walked in directly.

Jiang Manxue carefully put away the paintbrush after each painting.

Fu Qingye could easily find the location of the paintbrush.

His fingers lightly brushed the tip of the pen, and there was not even a trace of wetness on it.

It wasn't until this moment that Fu Qingye was able to confirm that Jiang Manxue had lied.

From the moment the chicken soup was boiled, I told him one lie after another.

Almost subconsciously, Fu Qingye took out his mobile phone and wanted to make a call to contact Jiang Manxue.

However, when his fingertips were about to touch the screen, he hesitated again.

In the end, Fu Qingye put the phone into his trouser pocket with his eyes downcast.

He put the brush back in place, then walked out of the studio, and gently closed the door of the studio.

Fu Qingye returned to the kitchen and made a cup of coffee.

As if nothing had happened, he went back to the study with his coffee and continued to work on his work.However, the eyes staring at the computer screen no longer had the warmth and smile they had before, and what remained was only indifference and coldness that had lost their warmth.

……

Jiang Manxue naturally didn't know what happened at home.

She sat in the car and squeezed her phone tightly.

When the car arrived at the market, he opened the door and got off the car, and told the other people: "You can help me go to these shops to buy things, and return to the car to gather after shopping."

Jiang Manxue said, and sent a few notes prepared in advance to the bodyguards following her.

The bodyguards looked at each other, and one of them said: "We can buy things, Miss Jiang, why don't you just wait in the car? We promise to buy them back soon."

However, Jiang Manxue shook her head and rejected their proposal.

"I said I would buy it myself. You just need to help me buy all these ingredients." Jiang Manxue found them some shops far away. Then, she looked at the time and reminded them unquestionably. : "Okay, don't say more, go quickly. I will buy the ingredients near here, so don't waste your time."

Because there were a lot of people in the market and it was considered a busy market, the bodyguards saw that the shop where Jiang Manxue bought ingredients was nearby, so they didn't get entangled anymore, and they all responded and left.

After Jiang Manxue got out of the car, she gave some instructions to the driver and walked into the market.

She circled around the market, avoiding the Fu family's car, and walked towards Lu Sichen's car that was always parked not far away.

Opening the door to get in the car, Jiang Manxue said sharply: "What do you have to say in person?"

Lu Sichen looked at her sideways: "Set the location here, are you going to cook dinner for Fu Qingye at night?"

"What's the matter with you?" Jiang Manxue frowned and asked without answering.

"You never cooked at home before, when did you wash your hands and make soup?" Lu Sichen lowered his eyes and looked at Jiang Manxue's long fingers: "I thought your hands were only for holding paintbrushes."

Jiang Manxue closed her eyes: "I did it, but you never went back to eat it. Are you satisfied?"

She said, staring sideways at Lu Sichen.

"If you have something to say, you'd better say it now. I have limited time to come out, and I'm not here to listen to you say these things."

Lu Sichen paused for a moment, as if he had stabilized his emotions, and said suddenly: "I will eat any dinner you cook in the future. Manman, let's get married."

Immediately, Jiang Manxue looked back at him in surprise as if she had heard something incredible.

"What did you say?" Jiang Manxue responded, "Are you joking, Lu Sichen."

"I'm serious." Lu Sichen's expression was serious, and he didn't mean to be joking at all.

Then, Jiang Manxue smiled mockingly, "I'm really crazy, I rushed over after hearing your call, and then heard that you are going crazy here!"

After finishing speaking, Jiang Manxue wanted to open the door and get out of the car to leave.

But Lu Sichen grabbed his wrist in an instant.

He was so strong that he clamped Jiang Manxue's hand, preventing her from moving at all.

"Let go!" Jiang Manxue growled angrily, her eyes were red, and she wanted to open Lu Sichen's hand, but she was not as strong as him.

"Manman, can you listen to me!" Lu Sichen finally couldn't bear it anymore, like a wounded lion, he maintained his last trace of reason and stopped Jiang Manxue from leaving, but he didn't want her to be hurt because of him .

"Listen to what you say, listen to you continue to go crazy here? I have nothing to say to you!"

"I know it all!" Lu Sichen interrupted Jiang Manxue, and shouted anxiously, "Why was Uncle Jiang arrested back then, and why did he die, why did your family get to this point today, I already know all the reasons!"

The moment Lu Sichen said the words, Jiang Manxue stopped all movements.

Her body, which was still leaning outward, stopped, and then slowly leaned back into the car seat.

Jiang Manxue lowered her eyes to see him holding her hand, and said softly: "I won't go, let go."

Lu Sichen knew that since Jiang Manxue said so, she would definitely not leave.

He let go gently.

On Jiang Manxue's fair wrist, there were still a few bright red marks left.

Jiang Manxue is fair and thin-skinned, and she would leave marks if she was bumped, let alone pinched so hard now.

"Sorry." Lu Sichen looked down at his fingers helplessly, and apologized in a low voice, "I was in a hurry..."

Jiang Manxue's right hand subconsciously covered the reddened wrist skin: "It's okay, I'm used to it."

But these words did not make Lu Sichen very happy.

His eyes flickered slightly, annoyed.

And Jiang Manxue really didn't care much, just said: "Okay, let's get down to business."

She glanced at Lu Sichen: "You just said, you know."

"Yes. I know. I know all about the fact that the Fu family used the cooperation with Uncle Jiang to smuggle ephedrine and frame Uncle Jiang for embezzling the company's funds." Then, Lu Sichen looked at Jiang Manxue: "Manman, actually you You know it too, right?"

This time, Jiang Manxue did not deny it, she nodded and replied: "Yes, I know. The letter my father left me has already explained everything clearly."

"So, Uncle Jiang left you his company's previous accounts?" Lu Sichen guessed a little, and almost guessed everything.

Jiang Manxue made a 'hmm' sound.

"Yes. In addition to that, there is another piece of land. It is the one that Aye and I jointly developed recently."

"You can't hand over that piece of land to Fu Qingye for development and construction!"

The moment this topic was brought up, Lu Sichen strongly objected.

Jiang Manxue looked at him suspiciously: "Why?"

Lu Sichen thought for a while, and found that telling Jiang Manxue the truth was much better than hiding it from her, so he took a deep breath and said in a calm tone, "Master Fu has a housekeeper named Guan Ping, don't you know?"

"I know." Jiang Manxue remembered this man, and also remembered the creepy look when he looked at her.

"He wanted to turn against him. He wanted to swallow the Fu family. He wanted to join me in doing this, so he gave me the truth. Some of the ephedrine that was smuggled back then was swallowed and disappeared. Back then That batch of goods, Mr. Fu, is missing, and Guan Ping doesn’t know where they are, so who else do you think can know the whereabouts?”

Lu Sichen's question made Jiang Manxue's face turn pale suddenly.

She stared at Lu Sichen, and said slowly, "It's... my father."

"Yes." Lu Sichen's voice was deep, "The only possible explanation for the disappearance of that batch of goods is that Uncle Jiang hid them. All the property of your family has been confiscated over the years, and there is nothing belonging to it." The Jiang family's private property, even the current company, if it is not named under the Lu family's name, it is impossible to keep any of your shares. But they have not found any traces of that batch of goods anywhere. Only the piece of Land."

Lu Sichen looked at Jiang Manxue.

"Over the years, the old man of the Fu family has actually suspected that Uncle Jiang put the land in your or your brother's name, but he couldn't find out who signed the land. Guan Ping said, yes Because your names are hidden. In other words, someone deliberately hid your information, so that no one can find out who the owner of this piece of land is."

Lu Sichen's gaze was heavy: "Guan Ping revealed that this person's background should not be that simple. After all, Mr. Fu has used the connections in the capital, but he still hasn't found out. So, this person is probably a certain important figure in the capital. Long Man, Someone behind you is deliberately protecting you. It may be because of Uncle Jiang. "

"No wonder." Jiang Manxue's lips trembled, "No wonder I have never known the existence of this land for so many years, and no one has ever come to me. It turned out to be because of this reason... Who is that person?"

"I don't know." Lu Sichen shook his head, "This is not something we should be entangled with. If he doesn't show up, it only means that he only wants to stay in the dark. Or maybe, he has no chance of winning against the person behind him. There may be anything .But Manman, what we are going to talk about now is something else."

"Because of this piece of land, the old man of the Fu family and the housekeeper suspected that the batch of goods they had disappeared was buried in that piece of ground?"

Lu Sichen nodded, with approval in his eyes.

He knew that Jiang Manxue had always been very smart, and he could even be said to be transparent.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling a little regretful, maybe he was really wrong before.

If he hadn't kept these things from her from the beginning, perhaps the relationship between them would not have come to this day.

"Really?" Seeing that Lu Sichen didn't speak, but stared at her instead, Jiang Manxue couldn't help frowning and asked one more question.

"That's right." Lu Sichen came back to his senses, forced himself to concentrate, not to think about so many past events, and continued the topic, "They are so skeptical. Therefore, you cannot hand over the development rights of this land to Fu Qingye .”

Jiang Manxue didn't say anything immediately, she was silent for a while, and then spoke slowly.

"If they were really so suspicious, they wouldn't need to think about who the owner of the land was from the very beginning, and just went in and searched. Why, they are so law-abiding, have they never searched?"

This can be said to be quite ironic.

Lu Sichen never knew before that Jiang Manxue could also prick his hands like this, and his whole body was covered in thorns.

Even the words she uttered were all in a gentle tone, and her disdain and sarcasm could be heard with just a slight hum.

"Of course they won't do nothing. They have searched for it many times over the years." Lu Sichen sighed, "Do you still remember that there was a rumor that there was a treasure nearby? Then there was Reports say the land was excavated by citizens on treasure hunts."

Jiang Manxue thought of something like that in a trance.

It's just that back then she was so focused on Lu Sichen that she didn't pay much attention to it.

"Well. So, that was the person they sent out back then."

"It's not just the people they sent out, they even released the rumors." Lu Sichen frowned and said, "I didn't think about it before, but I just remembered the connection after thinking about it recently. Do you think they haven't looked for it? They just didn't know It’s all about returning.”

Jiang Manxue took a look at Lu Sichen: "Since we haven't found it, it means that the thing may not really be in that field. Who does the right to develop it make, and what difference does it make?"

Then, Jiang Manxue took a deep breath.

"Or, you don't want me to give the development right to Fu Qingye because his surname is Fu?"

"That's right." Without any hesitation, Lu Sichen gave Jiang Manxue an affirmative answer.

"It's because his surname is Fu, and he belongs to the Fu family. Manman, how do you know that Fu Qingye didn't know what happened back then from the beginning to the end? What if he knew? If he was using you from the beginning, from beginning to end, just for that What are you going to do with a batch of missing goods?"

Jiang Manxue didn't like to hear such words.

Lu Sichen's words seemed to anger her.

She suppressed her anger and retorted: "I'm not a fool! Lu Sichen, just because I've been hurt once, doesn't mean I'll be hurt a second time! I have eyes, so I can see by myself! What's more, what we're talking about is only possible! You How can I be sure that that batch of goods is in the field my father left me!"

Then, Lu Sichen looked at Jiang Manxue deeply, and said word by word.

"It's very simple, because he is Uncle Jiang, he is Jiang Zhengyang!"
