Chapter 84: The two are clearly on a date.
"Miss Jiang, these claw machines have had their claws adjusted so that accuracy alone isn't enough to grab them; you also need skill."
"If this continues, even if we fill the storage box to the brim, we still won't succeed."
"Let me teach you." Fu Qinian took the liberty of coming up behind Jiang Liwu and approached her in an ambiguous manner, as if he were hugging her completely. He reached out to touch Jiang Liwu's hands.
Jiang Liwu's beautiful eyebrows and eyes were sharp and heroic, her dark eyes were cold. Just as she was about to make a move, someone was faster than her.
"You filthy scoundrel, I'll beat you to death, I'll beat you to death!"
"Outrageous and shameless in broad daylight! Greasi and shameless!"
"Trying to take advantage of my little Wuwu? Just wait and see how I deal with you!"
The slender cane struck Fu Qinian's head, back, arms, and legs repeatedly, making him grimace and dodge like a whipped rat, his image completely ruined.
Embarrassed and annoyed by Jiang Liwu's embarrassing display, Fu Qinian shouted, "Enough!" He grabbed her cane and swung it forcefully, causing the white-haired old woman to stumble and fall.
Jiang Liwu quickly reached out and helped the person up. "Grandma." The person who hit Fu Qinian was none other than Grandma Shang.
"Little Wuwu, are you alright?" Grandma Shang held Jiang Liwu's hand tightly, afraid that she had arrived too late and Jiang Liwu had already suffered a loss.
A warm feeling welled up in Jiang Liwu's heart. The old lady was about to fall, but she was concerned about her first. "Grandma, I should be asking if you are alright."
Grandma Shang shook her head repeatedly, "I'm fine, and Xiao Wuwu caught me."
Fu Qinian saw Grandma Shang's face clearly and was shocked and astonished, "Grandma Shang?"
Grandma Shang stood upright, leaning on her delicate gold and gemstone-inlaid cane. Her dignified and noble demeanor, cultivated over decades, commanded respect. She stared at them with unfriendly eyes.
He rubbed his fingers against the scepter in his hand, indicating that he still wanted to take action.
"Humph."
Fu Qinian broke out in a cold sweat. If this Empress Dowager of the capital were to stumble and fall, even losing a single hair, the Fu family would be unable to protect him, a mere illegitimate son with no real power.
Yes, although Fu's father disliked and was unwilling to see Fu Siyue, Fu Siyue was the rightful head of the Fu family.
In his quest for power, he expanded his network of connections everywhere, with businessmen being his primary targets for currying favor.
Instead of offending the merchants.
Remembering the angry words spoken by Old Madam Shang when she hit him, Fu Qinian hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you've misunderstood. I didn't mean to offend Miss Jiang. I was just trying to help Miss Jiang win a prize." He was surprised that Jiang Liwu had such a good relationship with Old Madam Shang.
"Hmph, do you misunderstand me? Do you think I have eyes and can see for myself?"
"Miss Jiang." Fu Qinian looked at Jiang Liwu with some urgency, but Jiang Liwu's expression remained indifferent. "Did I say I needed your help?"
Fu Qinian was taken aback. He hadn't actually said that, but Jiang Liwu had saved him, which gave him a secret confidence that Jiang Liwu had some feelings for him.
Looking at Jiang Liwu's indifferent gaze, he realized that he had been delusional and that Jiang Liwu didn't even notice him.
"I apologize, Miss Jiang, for being rude." Fu Qinian lowered his head, but his expression was dark. The more Jiang Liwu looked down on him, the more he wanted to conquer her.
At first, Song Jinwei also disliked him, thinking he was an illegitimate child, dirty, and unworthy to play with her, but now she loves him to death.
Jiang Liwu frowned, ignoring Fu Qinian, "Grandma, why are you out alone again? Didn't you promise me that someone would accompany me?" Her expression was somewhat helpless.
Grandma Shang blinked. "Grandma isn't alone. You've been listening to Little Wuwu's words."
She turned around, and Jiang Liwu followed her gaze, seeing Shang Tingyan strolling towards her. The sunlight shone on his back, gilding him with golden light. His already enchanting and unparalleled appearance was now even more godlike.
Jiang Liwu's heart stirred, but she kept herself calm, as she always felt a little nervous when she saw Shang Tingyan.
Shang Tingyan stopped in front of Jiang Liwu, his eyes calm and deep. When he saw that Jiang Liwu was alone, his eyes lit up almost imperceptibly.
Neither of them spoke, yet an indescribable atmosphere permeated the air.
"Little Fog, you've come to see the movie starring Little Yu Yu, right? Are you alone?"
Grandma Shang didn't give Jiang Liwu a chance to answer, her eyes sparkling, "Then come with us."
Jiang Liwu subconsciously glanced at Shang Tingyan, who calmly hummed in response, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly, without offering any objection.
But someone protested, "Who said she was alone?" Fu Siyue quickly appeared in their line of sight, his hands full of milk tea, pastries, nuts, popcorn, fries, and potato chips, enough for two people.
His wary gaze ruthlessly shattered the secretive atmosphere, and his presence beside Jiang Liwu seemed to be a declaration of sovereignty.
Shang Tingyan's aura suddenly turned somber, his thin, light red lips pressed into a straight line.
Wasn't it just one person...?
Judging from Jiang Liwu and Fu Siyue's expressions, the two were clearly on a date.
Dating……
A sense of unease settled over Shang Tingyan's heart.
At this moment, Fu Qinian couldn't help but make his presence known, "Second Master, I didn't expect to meet you here. Why don't I join you?"
Shang Tingyan then noticed that there was someone else beside him, and he said indifferently, "No need."
Fu Qinian was extremely embarrassed. He could only try to find a sense of superiority in Fu Siyue. "Weiwei is almost here. She asked me to go to the movies. Big brother won't be angry, will he?" He was clearly older than Fu Siyue, but Fu Siyue's title of young master was higher than his. In public, he had to call Fu Siyue "big brother".
Fu Qinian was provoking Fu Siyue because he was certain that Fu Siyue would not fight him in front of outsiders.
Fu Siyue's eyes were icy and sharp, filled with utter disdain. "You think you're qualified to call me brother?"
Fu Qinian's face turned ugly.
"Your legs and your hands are healing way too fast."
Hearing this, his face turned even uglier. His legs and hands were still aching, of course, because Fu Siyue was aiming to break his legs and cut off his fingers.
Fu Qinian's legs and fingers trembled slightly, an uncontrollable tremor.
"Fu Siyue, what do you want to do? If you have a problem, come at me! I won't allow you to hurt Qinian again!" Song Jinwei, who rushed over, blocked Fu Qinian's way like a mother hen, confronting Fu Siyue fiercely and stubbornly.
Fu Siyue remained silent, his gaze cold and indifferent. After no longer clinging to Song Jinwei, he no longer felt any affection for her when facing her.
My breathing was steady, my heartbeat was steady, and I only had a slight tingling sensation in my head.
"You let me out today, and I thought you'd changed your ways. But it turns out you were just pretending. You can't stand me and Qinian being together because you're selfish, domineering, obsessive, and cold-blooded. You just want to break us up. What else can you do besides tormenting Qinian and forcing me to give in and like you?!"
