The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 315
CHAPTER 315: CHAPTER 315
Jiang Moxi felt disgusted by the words that Fu Yiming had spoken.
If it weren’t for her small acquaintance with Lady Suchen, and not wanting to ruin the atmosphere of her evening party, Jiang Moxi really wanted to slap Fu Yiming across the face.
But Fu Yiming, noticing that Jiang Moxi was ignoring him, thought she was upset because he had touched a sore spot, and his smile became even more smug.
"I know you’re with my uncle for some ulterior motive. I can let bygones be bygones, as long as you come back to my side. Whatever my uncle can offer you, I can too. Even the utmost he can’t give you, I can give it to you as well..."
When Fu Yiming said the last sentence, his smile was so wicked that it was not hard for people to guess what ’utmost’ he was referring to.
Jiang Moxi couldn’t stand it any longer, seeing a waiter passing by with drinks, she took a glass and splashed it right onto Fu Yiming’s face.
"Jiang Moxi!" Fu Yiming did not expect Jiang Moxi to splash him with wine, his face turned somewhat embarrassing for a moment.
The only thing he felt thankful for was that the stage was currently hosting the kick-off ceremony, all lights converging above, and the lighting below was extremely poor.
Hence, not many people noticed the commotion in their corner, and he didn’t lose too much face.
"You have sinister intentions towards my aunt, this glass of wine is just a warning," Jiang Moxi’s voice chilled by several degrees.
But to Fu Yiming, it sounded like a joke: "Aunt? Do you really think you can marry my uncle? Let me tell you, the person my uncle will marry in the end can only be Aunt Wangning."
"Then you just wait to get your face swollen!" Jiang Moxi disdainfully glanced at Fu Yiming.
If she hadn’t left her marriage certificate at home, she truly wanted to throw it in Fu Yiming’s face and make him call her ’Aunt’ first.
At this moment, the kick-off ceremony on the stage was just coming to an end.
Fu Yiming, worried about staying there and being discovered with wine stains on his face and clothes, could only leave behind a harsh word: "Just you wait, I will make you kneel and beg me."
After that, Fu Yiming left to change his clothes in a huff.
Not long after Fu Yiming left, the lighting at the banquet returned to normal.
Jiang Moxi went to the food area, had some cookies, and sent a message to Fu Youhan: "Are you coming or not? If you’re not coming, then I’m going back!"
The message was met with silence, just like a stone sinking into the sea.
Therefore, Jiang Moxi decided to wait another ten minutes, if Fu Youhan still didn’t show up, she would leave.
*
On the other side, having changed his clothes, Fu Yiming returned to the banquet.
Jiang Weiwei, following Yu Man’s suggestion, went to Fu Yiming’s side immediately.
"Yiming, we haven’t gone on a date for a long time. How about after the banquet ends, we..."
Jiang Weiwei shyly looked down, her hint about what she wanted after tonight’s banquet was extremely clear.
Previously, after her hints, Fu Yiming would always take her to his apartment, or an outside hotel to spend the night.
But Fu Yiming usually didn’t need her hints; he always had a rather high demand in this aspect.
Jiang Weiwei thought that since she rarely hinted and did so this time, Fu Yiming should agree quickly.
In this way, the Jiang Family would see that her relationship with Fu Yiming was still strong, and perhaps they would treat her a little better in consideration of Fu Yiming and the Fu Family’s face.
But what Jiang Weiwei didn’t expect was that Fu Yiming tactfully refused her: "I’ve been hustling on a project at the company recently, quite tired. Let’s talk about it next time."
Jiang Weiwei’s heart went cold in an instant.
Because she knew, men are animals who think with their bottom half.
Once a man loses interest in your body, breaking up isn’t far off.
But why did it become like this?
Every time Fu Yiming wanted her before, he seemed rather enthusiastic, so why did he suddenly stop?
Jiang Weiwei was very anxious, but in front of Fu Yiming, she still had to pretend to be considerate and worried about him.
"Work is important, but not as much as your health. After you finish this project, you must take a good rest. These two days, I’ll stew some nourishing soup for you..."
But Fu Yiming was still very cold, not even giving her a second glance: "Let’s talk about it later."
Jiang Weiwei’s heart sank even more.
Fortunately, at this moment, Yu Man called her over, and she avoided any loss of composure.
Yu Man called Jiang Weiwei over because Jiang Tairan was introducing Lady Suchen to other members of the Jiang Family.
In Yu Man’s view, Lady Suchen was an excellent networking resource, and she naturally did not want Jiang Weiwei to miss out.
However, even after being called over, Jiang Weiwei was still restless.
She was constantly thinking, if she even lost Fu Yiming, how would she establish herself in the Jiang Family in the future?
Thus, she couldn’t absorb a word of the polite conversation Lady Suchen was having with others.
It wasn’t until Suchen suddenly saw Jiang Weiwei standing quietly in the corner and asked with interest, "Is this also one of your Jiang Family’s girls?"
Jiang Weiwei was still immersed in her thoughts, and it was Yu Man who pulled her a bit, bringing her back to reality.
"Weiwei, Lady Suchen is talking to you, what are you daydreaming about?"
Jiang Weiwei snapped back to reality and quickly forced a smile to respond to Suchen, "Hello, I am Jiang Weiwei."
"Hello, Weiwei," Suchen replied, unlike Yu Man, with a distinguished aura and a gentle demeanor.
She smiled and took Jiang Weiwei’s hand, kindly asking, "How old are you this year?"
"21," said Jiang Weiwei.
"If my child were still here, she would be about your age," said Suchen, who missed her daughter deeply. Every time she saw girls of a similar age, she couldn’t help but feel emotional.
And with Suchen’s words, whether it was Jiang Tairan or Jiang Guosheng, their faces showed a hint of joy.
Because they all knew, Jiang Weiwei had caught Suchen’s eye...
If Jiang Weiwei could win over Suchen’s affection and get Suchen to adopt her, the relationship between the Jiang Family and THE ONE Corporation would advance further.
By then, it wouldn’t only be the car system cooperation that would be in Jiang Family’s pocket, but other projects of THE ONE Corporation would definitely be up for grabs.
Thus, Jiang Guosheng and Jiang Tairan swiftly shot a look at Jiang Weiwei.
Jiang Weiwei was quick-witted, catching the hint immediately, she understood what they were up to, and quickly stepped forward to hold Suchen, concernedly asking,
"I heard from my grandfather that your daughter was kidnapped and disappeared. So, have you not found any clues related to her?"
Suchen’s eyes reddened as she mentioned her daughter.
"No clue to be found. When she was kidnapped, she was such a little one. Even if the kidnappers let her go, she wouldn’t have been able to survive on her own..."
But Jiang Tairan said, "It’s not necessarily hopeless. It’s said that Heaven is merciful, and you and Mr. Lai De have always been charitable and kind-hearted, so Heaven will surely protect your daughter to be safe and sound in this world."
Suchen always felt a bit better when she heard others say that her daughter must still be alive, and she began chatting with the Jiang Family members.
"Actually, I’ve seen a girl before who felt very familiar to me, and all the circumstances seemed to match. It’s just a pity that her paternity test results had already come out, and she found her biological parents."
Suchen continued, "If it weren’t for the fact that she so wanted to return to her biological parents, I really wanted to keep her by my side."
As Suchen spoke distractedly, Jiang Tairan and Jiang Guosheng exchanged a gleeful look, then gave Jiang Weiwei another signal.
Jiang Weiwei’s acting was quite good, her eyes welling up on the spot, and she even began to dab at her tears.
Suchen looked at Jiang Weiwei in surprise; Jiang Weiwei quickly looked down and said, "Sorry, it’s just that seeing you miss your daughter so much, I can’t help but empathize..."
