Chapter 65 A Well Though Scheme
Song Yan didn't want others to find out that there was something wrong with her, so she curved her lips in a smile and looked at both Fu Yu Sheng and Xu Ming who were staring at her curiously. " What? What are you looking at? I said I'm fine, didn't I? It was just that I am not feeling good and nothing more."
Though there was a smile playing on her lips, Song Yan wasn't the least bit calm. A myriad of calculations was flashing in her mind, what she saw in the mirror through scrying Song Yan was certain that whatever was going to happen to Assistant Xu wasn't just a small coincidence, he was very likely being schemed against.
And as for who was scheming against Assistant Xu, she had a very good idea about that person as well. Back then in her past life, Song Yan noticed that the new assistant chosen by Fu Yu Sheng was very respectful toward Song Lan and sometimes even allowed small concessions such as her bringing lunch to Fu Yu Sheng and whatnot.
After her death, Song Yan was busy levelling up her cultivation and learning all the skills that were important to a spiritual master. But now that she was thinking about it, she was fairly certain that Chu Lian did the same thing when she was trying to rope in her father.
She targetted those people who were around her father before successfully vanishing or killing them in a freak of an accident, then she very conveniently changed them with her own people.
Once those people who were loyal to her father were replaced, it was very easy for Chu Lian to pop in and out of the Song company.
Song Yan narrowed her eyes as she tapped her well-manicured nails on her thighs. No wonder, No wonder Song Lan was able to make a narrow escape from getting caught under the charges of murdering her. That girl was slowly poisoning Fu Yu Sheng so that he would only think of Song Lan and protect him.
And the only reason Song Lan couldn't marry Fu Yu Sheng was possibly her limited Yin energy.
Song Lan was an evil woman there was no denying it but the Yin energy that surrounded her body was vague and could not match to Fu Yu Sheng and might have created conflict for Song Lan.
She rolled her head as she cracked a few stiff bones in her neck and licked her lips, Old master Gu has said back then that she was Fu Yu Sheng's soulmate naturally her Yin energy that couldn't belong to a human only had one bane and that was Fu Yu Sheng's abundant Yang energy.
Similarly, Fu Yu Sheng's Yang energy wasn't one to be trifled with either, a woman with weak Yin energy could never match up to a man whose Yan energy was this strong.
" Why are you silent?" asked Fu Yu Sheng who was done dealing with some matters on his phone, he closed it with a click and then raised his head against her so that his well-defined jawline stretched even further. " You used to speak a lot more before."
" People change," answered Song Yan in a clipped voice of course she used to speak a lot. In the past, she was a lot naive because of the secure and loving upbringing of her mother who wanted to protect her from all the evil in the world.
After she married Fu Yu Sheng, she was just thinking about how she should get along well with her husband and didn't care about what was happening around her.
She jabbered a lot when she was with Fu Yu Sheng and this guy had never answered her once when she used to go on and on about this or that, now he was suddenly missing the old her? Snort, well there was nothing she could do about it now can she?
Fu Yu Sheng hummed in response, his assessing gaze sweeping over her body like a cutting glare that made her inwardly shiver. Really, why was this guy like this? He was naturally good looking, so instead of acting like everyone owed something to him?
Can't he just smile, once in a while?
They soon arrived at a posh restaurant that was one of the best in the city. Fu Yu Sheng was the first one to get off as he was quite the gentleman, after getting off the first thing he did was to open the door for Song Yan and helped her get down from the car.
Behind them assistant, Xu took the charge of the car and drove it away before parking it securely in the parking lot of the restaurant.
" Let's go," said Fu Yu Sheng as he motioned Song Yan to follow him. She nodded as she started to walk behind him but her gaze furtively glanced at assistant Xu who was standing in the parking lot next to the car with a very solemn expression on his face.
The Black Qi that was a bit faint a while ago was now clogging assistant Xu's fortune like a badly grown stretch of the water lilies over a fresh pond.
Fu Yu Sheng and the manager of the restaurant named Classy bites were good friends. The manager knew that Fu Yu Sheng was coming to his restaurant and was even bringing his wife with him, so he hurriedly rushed out of his office to welcome Fu Yu Sheng and Song Yan cordially. " Ah, Brother Fu! Sister in law Song, it's good to see you at my humble abode. I have taken the liberty to secure a private room for you and sister in law, please follow me."
Manager Qiu had known Fu Yu Sheng from the time the two of them were in college. So, he was quite chatty as he guided them to the private room. " Sister in law, it's a good thing that you came along with brother Fu, every time he comes here alone, his entire body is like a freezing cold ac. But now that you are here with him at least now he looks a bit human with that little curve of his lips."
Song Yan blinked as she slowly turned her head to look at Fu Yu Sheng who was the same as ever. With one hand in the pocket of his suit and his expression as stoic as ever - yeah right, if this was his smiling self then she didn't even want to think about his cold as Ice self.
Manager Qiu must be really blind in his eyes to think that this Fu Yu Sheng was a smiling one.
" the dishes in this restaurant are good, their taste is fine and they are easy to digest. You won't have trouble eating them with your picky appetite," said Fu Yu Sheng as he picked the menu and handed it to Song Yan. " I would recommend their shrimp porridge and meat buns they are small and easy to eat in one bite."
Song Yan took the menu from his hand and quickly skimmed her gaze over it. He was right though the dishes in this restaurant were really good, with her picky appetite she would only be able to stomach some porridge and meat buns. It was a habit that she picked up ever since she was a child.
The first meal of her day should be light and easy to digest, though the dishes were good and looked great. Song Yan was afraid that she might get a stomach ache if she ate something heavy, so she nodded. " Let's go with that, we shouldn't eat anything heavy on an empty stomach."
Fu Yu Sheng's lips curled up slightly. At least one of her habits was still the same as ever, he was a bit worried that maybe after so long, even this habit of Song Yan would be changed.
Though they only ordered shrimp porridge, it wasn't something unsightly to eat as their first meal. This shrimp porridge was widely popular in the city and sometimes people without a reservation would have to wait for three hours to grab a bite of it.
Since their order was simple it didn't take long for it to arrive and be served.
Song Yan picked up her chopstick and took a bite of her porridge and almost moaned out loud. It was that good, not overly cooked nor too soggy. Just the right amount of flavours exploded in her mouth, and just as Song Yan was diving deeper into the explosion of the flavours, Fu Yu Sheng parted his lips and spat out a few words," Wang Yufan called me, and he said that you have acquired a really weird hobby. He complained that you gave him a tacky talisman to carry around, mind telling me what was that? From where in the world did you pick up this weird hobby?"
Song Yan who had just taken a large bite of her porridge choked and started sputtering.
