The two quietly exited the room and came to the corner of the corridor.
"Ready?" Cheng Muching asked.
Fu Bining nodded, with excitement in his eyes: "Things have been prepared a long time ago. Have you figured out how to get rid of Cheng Zitong?"
"I have a solution."
"Then let's split up."
Two figures separated from the corner of the corridor.
**
"A common cold, nothing serious." The doctor paused for a moment, "But my wife's gastrointestinal condition needs to be adjusted. Her digestive function is not very good."
"What impact does this have?"
"Of course, if you can't absorb the nutrients in food well, how can you increase your body's resistance?"
That’s why you’ll catch a cold and have a fever whenever you’re exposed to wind or rain.
Cheng Zitong nodded thoughtfully and watched the doctor's car leave.
"You care about your wife very much." Suddenly, a sarcastic chuckle sounded from the steps.
Cheng Muching stood on the steps: "How did I hear that the woman you love most is in country C?"
"My favorite woman?" Cheng Zitong sneered, as if this sentence itself had a huge logical flaw.
"Let me tell you something," he walked up the steps. "It is better to expect that the sun will come out from the west tomorrow than to expect a man to have the woman he loves most."
Cheng Muying clicked her tongue, "It's so heartless. I wonder what Fu Yuan'er will think after hearing this."
"I didn't say this to her." Cheng Zitong looked at her.
The meaning was very clear, he meant this to Cheng Muching.
Cheng Muching was stunned, and his cheeks turned red. He seemed to know something.
"You...what do you mean..." Her tone was hesitant.
"It's nothing interesting, it's just that someone needs to be reminded not to be deceived."
"He won't lie to me!" Cheng Muying suddenly shouted in a low voice.
Cheng Zitong's words touched her sore spot.
She does have a boyfriend. They have been dating for three years, and they have been caught cheating on each other for the fifth time, with five different women...
But every time her boyfriend told her, it was all a misunderstanding and the person he loved most was her.
And every time, Cheng Muching could believe his words.
As time went by, no one mentioned it anymore.
Cheng Zitong said a faint "Oh" and continued walking up the steps.
Cheng Muching came to her senses, she still had tasks to complete.
"Cheng Zitong," she called him, "why do you say this? Do you know him or are you looking for someone to check on me?"
Cheng Zitong's eyes flashed slightly. She was looking for trouble. She might have a purpose to find trouble at this point and not go to sleep...
"I'm having a cocktail party at home tomorrow night," he said, not answering the question, "Do you think you should invite him over?"
Cheng Muching was stunned, "You're talking nonsense, he's not in City A at all."
He told her that he was going abroad to discuss business.
Cheng Zitong curled his lips slightly: "Why don't you wait until tomorrow and see if he will come over."
Cheng Muching was completely speechless. Her mind was so confused that she couldn't care less about delaying time.
**
"Fu Yuan'er, Fu Yuan'er?"
Following Fu Bining's soft call, a cup of granules was placed on the bedside table.
Fu Yuan'er didn't respond to her voice. She was falling asleep under the influence of antipyretic medicine.
Fu Bining smiled coldly, helped her up, and was picking up the cup on the bedside table when a male voice suddenly sounded: "What are you doing?"
Fu Bining turned around and saw that the person standing at the door was Cheng Zitong.
The head was secretly surprised.
Didn't Cheng Muying agree to delay time? Why did he come so quickly!
"I'll give her medicine." She said calmly.
Her plan was divided into two steps. The first step was to give Fu Yuan'er some sleeping pills, and the second step was to send Fu Yuan'er to Cheng Yiming's bed.
Cheng Muying had given her a guarantee, and Cheng Yiming would never say "no" to this matter.
He had just been robbed of his business by Cheng Zitong. Basically, he would do anything that could hurt Cheng Zitong.
Therefore, even though Cheng Zitong is here now, she still needs to complete the first step first, and then think about how to do the second step.
Cheng Zitong stepped forward and stared at the medicine in her hand: "The doctor did not prescribe this kind of medicine."
"You don't know this, but this is a traditional method for treating colds. It is very effective," Fu Bining said. "Everyone in our family who catches a cold uses this method and is cured quickly."
Before she finished speaking, the cup in her hand was suddenly snatched away by him.
"The Cheng family doesn't use this method." He poured the medicine into the trash can without hesitation.
"Zitong!" Fu Bining's eyes turned red. He was really red because of jealousy and envy.
"What do you mean? Are you afraid that I will poison the medicine?" Fu Bining said directly.
Cheng Zitong looked at her silently, and the embarrassment in the air had already answered her question.
"Those things you said to me are all lies!" Fu Bining roared angrily and rushed out of the room.
Cheng Zitong thought for a while, what did he say to her?
Asking her to work as his secretary in the company? This is indeed a lie.
He stepped forward, straightened the quilt that was messed up by Fu Bining, and then put his big palm on Fu Yuan'er's forehead.
Still very hot.
**
Fu Bining walked downstairs quickly, and through the large window in the living room, she saw Cheng Muying standing by the bench in the garden.
She walked out without thinking and wanted to ask Cheng Muying for an explanation as to why she had promised to cooperate, but in the end it was not effective.
However, before they even got closer, they heard Cheng Muching's angry voice: "...What do you mean, you don't think highly of us either? He even helped you lie in front of my dad last year!"
"I just think you guys are not suitable." The person who answered her was Cheng Yiming.
Fu Bining immediately stepped lightly and secretly listened to their conversation.
"Cheng Zitong sees my jokes, and you see my jokes too," Cheng Muying became even more angry, "You asked me to help you deal with Cheng Zitong, and I agreed. Now it's better for you to side with him!"
"I didn't." Cheng Yiming denied briefly but firmly.
"Then help me and stop him from coming to my house tomorrow," Cheng Muching said bitterly: "Cheng Zitong will definitely invite many people to watch my joke, and I can't let him succeed."
Cheng Yiming was silent for a moment and said: "Does this still need to be stopped? Since he lied to you and went abroad, he will definitely not show up tomorrow."
"...Don't worry so much, you must stop it anyway."
Cheng Yiming sneered: "Actually, you know very well who he is. He is the kind of person who does not hesitate to curry favor with Cheng Zitong but also wants to embarrass you."
She knew he would come because it was Cheng Zitong who invited him, and he would come even at the risk of her lies being exposed.
Cheng Yiming didn't understand what she could miss about such a man.
"Anyway, you can do it for me, otherwise I might help Cheng Zitong deal with you." Cheng Muying lost face and hurried away after leaving the harsh words.
Cheng Yiming stood for a while, then turned and left.
Fu Bining thought about it. She still didn't know who "he" was, but she knew that if he came out tomorrow night,
Now, things must be fun.
**
Fu Yuan'er slowly opened her eyes. Outside the gauze curtains of the window, the sky was already bright.
She knew she had a cold and a fever. She fell asleep and woke up in and out, and was too lazy to move.
But she knew it. A hand touched her forehead several times, and someone gave her water and medicine along the way.
Although she didn't open her eyes, she could detect the faint smell of perfume on his body.
At this moment, he was sleeping next to her, with a touch of blue under his eye circles.
Was it because he had to take care of her that he got the dark circles under his eyes?
This was not the first time that she had seen him clearly from such a close distance.
I remember when she was a teenager, she followed Ji Senzhuo and a group of friends to the Wild Botanical Garden for camping.
One night she was having a fight with a girl and accidentally drank a glass of liquor and became drunk soon after.
She couldn't remember what happened after that, but when she woke up the next morning, she found herself lying next to Cheng Zitong.
He was still asleep at that time, and his young face was not very handsome, but it had sharp edges and corners, implying an edge.
She snorted after seeing it, and secretly complained in her heart that with such good looks, she still wanted to run after those wealthy daughters.
Don’t you know that all those rich girls like handsome guys like Ji Senzhuo?
Looking at him now, he still doesn't look very handsome, but his outline is sharper, like a hard and sharp rock.
Is there anyone in this world who can make him surrender?
Suddenly, his eyelids moved.
Fu Yuan'er quickly closed her eyes, not letting him see that she was peeking.
He was indeed awake. Hearing the noise, he first sat up and then reached out to touch her forehead.
Then I went into the bathroom to wash up.
Fu Yuan'er breathed a sigh of relief and then opened her eyes.
She still had no energy, so she first picked up the phone and asked for leave from the newspaper office.
"Isn't today your first day in charge of the social section?" Xiaoxiao immediately said "tsk tsk", "I understand, you don't want to face the editor in chief, so you deliberately asked for leave? You are still very strategic!"
Fu Yuan'er was a little speechless at her own guess.
"Don't think too much, I just really have a cold. If I feel better this afternoon, I will come to the newspaper office."
"But I heard that several new shareholders will come to the newspaper office today," Mr. Xiao Xiao also wanted to say something serious. "They are all investors with a culture of farming and studying. In fact, they can be considered real bosses."
Fu Yuan'er nodded, remembering what Cheng Zitong told her about investment, he was quite right.
"I don't need to meet these big bosses. From now on, performance will speak for itself."
"The reporter from Fu Da is indeed the best." Xiaoxiao gave her a thumbs up.
While he was talking, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.
Fu Yuan'er put down the phone and Cheng Zitong had already stepped forward to open the door.
"Master Zitong," the butler said outside, "the evening party has been prepared and the guest list has been determined. Please take a look."
Cheng Zitong took a look at the guest list and said, "Fu Yuan'er can't attend."
"Then your dance partner..."
"I'll figure it out myself."
Cheng Zitong sent the butler away and returned to the cloakroom to change clothes.
Fu Yuan'er rolled her eyes and wondered why Cheng Zitong organized a gathering at Fu's house. Was it to let people in the circle know that he had indeed moved into the Cheng's house legitimately?
"How are you?" At this time, Cheng Zitong, who had changed his clothes, came to the bedside. His indifferent expression made Fu Yuan'er feel that she had made a mistake.
The person who checked her forehead and gave her water and medicine last night was not him at all.
