Never get married in his whole life and just be with her?
Shen Youjin was stunned for a second, then burst out laughing as if she had heard something really funny.
"Fu Qingye, are you kidding me?"
"Why are you laughing?" Fu Qingye frowned slightly and looked at her. "Even if we don't get married, I can assure you that you'll be the only one for me. Everything I have is yours. No one will look down on you."
Before his voice faded away, the smile on Shen Youjin's face had gradually turned cold. "If we don't get married, how's it different from being a mistress?"
"How could you be a mistress?" Fu Qingye got anxious. "In my heart, you're my only wife."
Shen Youjin almost burst out laughing again out of anger, but she still managed to ask patiently, "What about in other people's eyes? Don't you care at all?"
"With me around, who dares to say a single word about you?" Fu Qingye was eager to swear to her. "If you feel that people in the capital are gossiping about you, we can leave. We can choose a city you like. Your mother's hometown is in the south of the Yangtze River. We can go there..."
He thought Shen Youjin would be happy, but he found that the more he talked, the uglier Shen Youjin's face became. Finally, even the last bit of warmth disappeared.
"Fu Qingye, is there only love in my world? I don't expect you to help me find out the cause of my mother's death and the murder case back then. But I can tell you clearly that I won't leave here. I'm going to take back what belongs to my mother!"
After saying that, she directly opened the car door and got out without looking back. No matter how much Fu Qingye shouted at her, she just pretended not to hear and hailed a taxi to leave.
"Damn it!"
Inside the car, Fu Qingye slapped the steering wheel hard. The harsh honking sounded like someone's angry roar.
But Shen Youjin didn't even look back. She didn't hesitate at all!
Half an hour later, Shen Youjin got home. Her phone rang.
"Miss Shen, your racing car has been returned to its original place. It will be inspected and maintained later, and the whole process will be filmed for you."
"If someone else comes to you and wants to buy this car, if the price is lower than ten million, you can just reject them directly. Don't ask me." Shen Youjin added, "Even if the offer is ten million, you need to verify their information clearly. Their background must be clean."
The person on the other end nodded repeatedly. "Miss Shen, you can rest assured. You're our big client here. Your request is our obligation. We'll definitely handle it well for you."
Shen Youjin responded and then hung up the phone.
She was reluctant to sell "Lightning", but Shen Qilin was coming back to the capital. She had to buy the seaside villa as soon as possible. She couldn't let him take advantage of this loophole.
She had forced him away back then. Now that he was coming back, the first person he would take revenge on would be her.
The Shen family wouldn't give Shen Tianzhen a large amount of money, but if it was Shen Qilin, the Shen family would sell everything they had to satisfy this beloved son.
Even if there was only a one - percent chance, she couldn't let her mother's villa fall into such a person's hands!
She sorted out the jewelry she had received in the past few days and quickly contacted someone to cash it in.
Even the "Rose Pledge" that was lying quietly in the box didn't escape. It was a special situation now. Since Gu Zhiyuan said it was compensation for her, she could deal with it as she pleased!
Looking at the incoming money, she calculated her property again. She was still far from the price of that seaside villa.
She couldn't help but feel a little worried. She could only hope that the person who took a fancy to "Lightning" was a top - level rich man!
She clasped her hands together and prayed with her eyes closed.
After a while, she made herself a nutritious meal and then drove to her studio.
Although she had hired a professional supervisor, it was still her own business after all. She always had to go and check it out in person to be at ease.
She stayed in the studio until the sun was setting. Just as she was about to leave, her phone rang. It was actually Bai Beichen's mother's call.
She was too lazy to answer it and just hung up directly.
It was easy to guess that she had seen her son racing on the live - broadcast. Her precious son had been participating in such a dangerous activity, and there had even been an accident at the last moment. It was easy to imagine that she must be angry and anxious.
But what did it matter to her? She hadn't asked Bai Beichen to participate, and she hadn't even looked for him. God knew how he had shown up!
Thinking of this, a hint of doubt flashed through her mind. Was the cute puppy Bai Beichen so good at racing?
Even though he was only sixth, he had left the others far behind.
And at that time, she had been so immersed in the joy of victory that she had completely ignored this point.
Looking back now, it seemed that... she had never even heard that Bai Beichen played racing!
For some reason, scenes of being with Bai Beichen flashed through her mind. She always felt that something was wrong.
Especially when he first took her to meet his brothers. Although those wealthy young masters had smiles on their lips, in retrospect, they had looked like they were watching a play.
After a while, her phone rang again. She thought it was the Bai family calling again, but it turned out to be Jiang Zeshen.
Only then did she remember that she hadn't contacted Jiang Zeshen since she left the racing site with Fu Qingye.
As soon as she answered the call, Jiang Zeshen's cold voice came through the phone.
"Where are you?"
The always amorous young master rarely had such a cold tone. Even a fool could tell that he was very angry and dissatisfied.
"I'm at the studio checking the decoration." Shen Youjin answered smoothly, as if she didn't care about his change in tone at all. Everything was still the same as before. "Are you back in the city?"
Hearing her calm tone, Jiang Zeshen got even angrier. But thinking of the time when he had said the wrong thing and made her run away, he still held back.
"I'm back. What about you? Are you still with Fu Qingye?"
"No!" Shen Youjin said indifferently and even casually directed someone to tidy up the corner. "I've been busy at the studio."
"I see!" Hearing that she wasn't glued to Fu Qingye, Jiang Zeshen's tone finally softened a bit. "Then I'll come and find you."
Shen Youjin smiled. How could she not know that he was coming to check on her? But she didn't refuse. There were some things about the decoration that she just wanted to ask for his opinion.
While waiting for him, she casually sent an electronic contract to Fu Qingye.
One thing was one thing. The proper procedures at work still had to be followed.
Maybe Fu Qingye was still angry because she had given him the cold shoulder. At this moment, he was in a bad mood. The message sank like a stone into the sea without any response.
But she didn't care. She had sent it. Even if he didn't sign it, she would still give him the dividends according to this contract in the end.
Soon, Jiang Zeshen's car stopped outside the studio.
What surprised her was that he was holding a bunch of roses in his hand. They were bright red and dripping in the bright sunlight, like a ball of fire.
Shen Youjin watched him walk in seriously. She was a little surprised. Were these flowers for her? This didn't seem like his style!
