Chapter 137: Because I Am His Fiancée
Jiang Li looked at Fu Jiuxiao’s teasing eyes and cursed in a low voice, “You hooligan! I can’t be bothered with you.”
Fu Jiuxiao stopped teasing Jiang Li and took the initiative to hold Jiang Li’s hand. The two of them interlocked their fingers and left the cloakroom.
Chu Chu saw Fu Jiuxiao’s red and swollen lips, and her eyes froze. She had already guessed what happened between the two of them in the cloakroom.
Chu Chu did not want to be ignored, so she asked gently, “Mr. Fu, what happened to your lips? Are they okay? Do you need me to apply some medicine on them?”
Fu Jiuxiao raised his eyes and looked at Chu Chu coldly. His tone was very cold. “You don’t need to meddle in other people’s business.”
Chu Chu unconsciously clenched her hands, but she still had a decent smile on her face.
Jiang Li looked at Chu Chu and ordered the butler, “Butler, take Miss Chu Chu to another villa.”
Chu Chu’s eyes widened instantly. “What right do you have to let me live in another villa? I’m here to treat Mr. Fu’s illness!”
If she was allowed to live outside, how could she get close to Fu Jiuxiao?!
Jiang Li looked at Chu Chu. “Just because I’m his fiancée. Why? Are you not convinced?”
Chu Chu was so angry that her face turned red when she saw that Jiang Li wasn’t willing to let go. She looked at Fu Jiuxiao and complained, “Mr. Fu, look, this woman is almost riding on your head!”
Fu Jiuxiao did not answer immediately. Instead, he gently kissed the back of Jiang Li’s hand. “She’s the mistress of this family. She can be as willful as she wants. There’s nothing she can’t do.”
Jiang Li’s eyes lit up when she heard Fu Jiuxiao’s words.
Chu Chu did not expect Fu Jiuxiao to be so partial to Jiang Li. She widened her eyes in disbelief. Her heart was filled with unwillingness and shame, but before she could argue, she was asked to leave by the butler.
The Fu family was in a mess, and Fu Yunze’s heart was even worse.
The reason why Fu Yunze did not show up at the family banquet was that he was not in the mood as he could not figure out his own affairs.
Jiang Man’s movie was pulled out of the theater early because of the dismal box office earnings.
Jiang Li’s movie was well-received at the box office, and it was even delayed for a period of time before it was pulled out of the theater.
Moreover, the media was full of reports about Jiang Li’s film crew. The director who was always being called ‘box office poison’ and the screenwriter who lived in the basement suddenly became the target of everyone in the industry.
Fu Yunze’s money had gone down the drain. Coupled with the obvious contrast between Jiang Li and Jiang Man, it caused him to blame Jiang Man even more deeply. He even began to regret why he did not choose Jiang Li in the first place
When Fu Yunze thought about how his fiancée, who used to belong to him, had now become his aunt, not only were they gapped by a marriage, but there was also a gap in seniority between them, he was extremely frustrated.
Fu Yunze turned on his phone and saw the news of Jiang Li’s movie celebration party.
He had not received any invitations, but he just wanted to see Jiang Li. Therefore, he pulled all the strings and took an invitation from his reporter friend. He even deliberately matched his clothes for this.
The celebration party was very lively, but Fu Yunze saw the person he wanted to see at a glance.
A gown from Qing Xin, a perfect and fitting gown that complemented Jiang Li, made her a star that did not lose out to celebrities.
She accepted everyone’s blessings with a rare smile on her face.
Fu Yunze looked at Jiang Li like this. His eyes reddened involuntarily. He picked up a glass of wine and took the initiative to congratulate her.
“Congratulations on your box office sales. You must have made a lot of money from this investment, right?”
Jiang Li was stunned when she heard the familiar voice. Then, she turned around and realized that it was Fu Yunze. She could not help but feel puzzled.
Did he take the wrong medicine to come and bless her?
Although Jiang Li was puzzled, she still accepted his congratulations and took the initiative to clink glasses with him.
“Thank you.”
Fu Yunze’s face froze. He lowered his head and smiled self-deprecatingly.
Jiang Li continued to socialize with the others. At this moment, Fu Yunze was drinking glass after glass of wine.
With a dazed expression, the Jiang Li in his eyes suddenly turned blurry.
At that moment, he was fantasizing whether there would be a Jiang Li that could belong to him.
Once he thought of this absurd idea, he could not stop it no matter how hard he tried. He quickly stepped forward and used his drunkenness to hold Jiang Li’s wrist.
“Jiang Li, I know that you still like me. If you break off the engagement with my uncle, I will break off the engagement with Jiang Man. The two of us will definitely be able to get back together. I will bear all the blame from Grandpa, and I will definitely not let you suffer any harm.”
“Jiang Li, did you hear me? Promise me. I don’t mind anything.”
Yes, as long as he could be with Jiang Li. He could abandon everything in the past, and he could also forget Jiang Li’s past.
