CHAPTER 381: CHAPTER 379: LOVE DURING SCHOOL DAYS

The road ahead was good, and Fu Jinghen managed to glance at Wen Qiao, seeing her little face clearly spelled out "gossip," he felt even more suffocated, "You won’t be jealous because some girl wrote me love letters?"

"Jealous? No." Wen Qiao shook her head, "What’s there to be jealous about over love letters? Plus, a girl putting her feelings for you into words and then giving them to you doesn’t necessarily mean she wants something in return. Maybe she just wants to tell you about her feelings, that’s all."

With those words, she nestled back into her seat and sighed, "That’s why I say, student love is the most beautiful. No strings attached, no intense rivalries."

Wen Qiao’s lament was unintended, but upon hearing it, Fu Jinghen suddenly fell silent.

The great clans always end up with arranged marriages, and he and Wen Qiao were no exception.

After Wen Feng and Jiang Lai divorced, Wen Feng had a new family, and Jiang Lai spent years in a sanatorium. The marriage between the Fu and Wen families seemed to offer Wen Qiao a haven, but in reality it did not.

Just like the common, melodramatic stories.

When Fu Jinghen first took over FS, the company had just gone through a catastrophe.

After Old Fu passed away, FS was already unstable inside, but under Fu Qiang’s strict control, some people only had the desire to betray but not the courage.

However, things changed after Fu Jinghen took charge.

The shareholders thought Fu Jinghen was young and inexperienced and believed they could mold him as they wished. They troubled him a lot and even joined forces with rival companies.

Even if Fu Jinghen was as cautious as possible, he was just a human being, not a god with three heads and six arms.

So, when he first took over, FS’s finances were tight, and progress stopped and even started to rapidly go backward.

At that time, Jiang Lai and Wen Feng had already divorced. Knowing her own limitations and caring only about Wen Qiao, Jiang Lai learned about FS’s situation and approached Fu Qiang to propose the marriage.

Fu Qiang had been friends with Jiang Lai for many years and found her proposal appealing.

Wen Feng and Jiang Lai’s marriage was also a business alliance; the Jiang Family was not inferior to the Wen Family, and being Mr. Jiang’s only daughter, all of the Jiang Family’s assets belonged to Jiang Lai, and therefore to Wen Qiao.

Fu Jinghen knew early on that he couldn’t freely choose his other half based on his own feelings, and at that time, he only wanted to turn around FS’s difficulties and had no thoughts about romance.

Since he didn’t like anyone, it didn’t matter whom he married, and after all, arranged marriages were supposed to benefit both sides.

After Fu Jinghen agreed, Jiang Lai had her lawyer draft an agreement because Wen Qiao was still a naïve middle school student at the time. So Jiang Lai and Fu Qiang decided to wait until Wen Qiao turned twenty to engage them and plan the wedding a couple of years later.

Putting aside Wen Qiao’s surname, saying that the Fu and Jiang families were joining in marriage was more accurate.

Jiang Lai secured a good future for her daughter and also helped the Fu Family get through tough times.

Fu Jinghen grew up hearing the phrase "Heaven’s Chosen Son." He was ambitious and had great aspirations, but before he could make a significant impact in the business world, he was severely tripped up. Deep down, he was frustrated. Once the difficulties were resolved, he focused intensely on work, neglecting his young fiancée completely.

It was Fu Qiang who would occasionally mention Wen Qiao to him, but he simply let it in one ear and out the other, never taking it to heart.

Thus, it wasn’t until the engagement day that he finally met his young fiancée.

"What are you thinking about? You haven’t spoken for so long and haven’t answered my question."
