Young Master Fu’s Incredible Real Heiress Chapter 828 - Then, Together?

Chapter 828: Then, Together?

Shi Jin did not mention that Fu Xiuyuan had secretly learned how to carry a child. However, the smile on her face was very blissful.
“Did you know Lan Tian was getting engaged?” she asked.
“I heard. The Meng family can’t compare to the Lan family, but Uncle and Aunt Lan are too anxious because of Lan Tian’s illness. They actually agreed to let them get engaged.”
Shi Jin smiled and shook her head. “In the entire imperial capital, there aren’t many families that can compare to the four great families. If Meng Yizhou’s character is good, then it’s quite good.”
“Mm.”
“Sickness not only consumes the patient’s own will, but it’s also a test of the family’s mentality. Lupus is indeed a very difficult disease to cure. In the future, when they get married and have children, they will face the probability of multiple relapses. They have to persist in taking medicine as well. If there’s a slight issue, all kinds of problems will arise. I believe it’s because of this that parents make such hasty decisions.”
Since this was someone else’s family affairs, Shi Jin and Fu Xiuyuan chatted for a while and stopped talking about this matter.

Orchid Pavilion.
Shi Jin gathered some herbs and mixed them. She wrapped them and put them in her bag, intending to bring them to Lan Tian.
Currently, Lan Tian had been taking imported medicine. Although the effects were not bad, there were still side effects.
In the future, if she really got married and got pregnant, it would be very dangerous if she couldn’t take medicine.
At the same time, Shi Jin picked some other flowers and plants and put them in her pocket before going upstairs.
She ran a bath and tossed the flowers in.
Under the hot water, there was a very fresh smell, a little like the aroma of freshly sawn wood.
Fu Xiuyuan walked in and casually pulled off his tie. He looked tired.
When he saw her, he scooped her over. “What are you doing?”
“Mm, I ran the bathwater for you.”
A smile appeared on Fu Xiuyuan’s lips. “Then, together?”
He picked up Shi Jin by the waist and entered the bathroom. The smell was fresh, woody, cool, with a hint of mint.
“What is it?” Fu Xiuyuan looked down into the bathtub.
“You can relax your muscles. You have a lot on your plate every day, so it’s inevitable you’ll get tired and your muscles are tense.” Shi Jin smiled. “Do you want to try it now?”
Fu Xiuyuan clasped her fingers. “Okay, come.”
Not only did he want to try this, he also wanted to try something else.

Shi Jin went to find Lan Tian.
“I want to have dinner with you,” Shi Jin said over the phone.
“Sure, but I’ve got a few things I haven’t finished. It is urgent. Can you wait half an hour?”
“Where are you?”
Lan Tian mentioned a place. It was a small bookstore outside the school.
“Then I’ll come to you,” Shi Jin said.
According to the GPS, the small bookstore was in a very secluded alley. It was relatively narrow and cars couldn’t get in. Shi Jin had no choice but to stop the car at the outer entrance of the alley, planning to wait here for Lan Tian.
She stopped the car and stayed in it. Casually, she flipped open her phone. Two pedestrians passed in front of the car, but she didn’t care.
However, just as the two men were about to leave, she looked up one more time.
One of them was Meng Yizhou—she originally had no interest in this person. She had not even seen him before, but because Lan Tian had said something about an engagement, she had specially found a photo of Meng Yizhou to look at.
Meng Yizhou was tall and thin. He was not extremely handsome, but he was quite good-looking. Shi Jin had taken a few more looks at him before, so now she recognized the man as Meng Yizhou.
It was not strange that it was Meng Yizhou, but it was strange that he was holding a woman’s arm.
Could they just be family, or friends?
Shi Jin asked herself that in her mind. However, she could not help but get out of the car. Her gaze followed the two of them, who looked very intimate.
Then she saw Meng Yizhou and the woman hugging and kissing.
“Okay, let’s go inside.” Meng Yizhou pushed the woman away and glanced around warily.
“Are you that scared?” the woman asked with a grin.
“How am I afraid? It’s to avoid unnecessary trouble.”
They walked toward a hotel.
Shi Jin frowned slightly and cropped the photo she just took so that only the part with Meng Yizhou was showing. She sent it to Fu Heyan. “Sister, is this Meng Yizhou?”
“It’s him. Why did you take his picture?”
“Saw him on the street. Thought he was Lan Tian’s fiancé, so it wouldn’t be wrong to get to know him.”
Fu Heyan smiled and said, “Isn’t it easy for you to get to know him? Next time, let Lan Tian bring him out for a meal.”
“Mm. How is Meng Yizhou’s character?” Shi Jin asked openly.
As she was an artiste herself, she usually had many scruples when making friends. Fu Heyan did not suspect that she had other intentions and only thought that she was worried that others would use her identity as an artiste to cause trouble.
Fu Heyan said, “I don’t know him very well, but his family is quite close to the Lan family. We’ve met several times before, so it should be pretty good.”
It seemed that Fu Heyan did not know Meng Yizhou well either.
Shi Jin sent what she had just seen to Fu Xiuyuan.
Fu Xiuyuan called quickly. “From the photos, it should be Meng Yizhou. I’ll check on this immediately.”
“I’d rather not talk about this with Lan Tian for now. What if it’s a misunderstanding?”
Although Shi Jin knew that it was difficult to explain this matter as a misunderstanding, and there was no way that kiss could be explained by a misunderstanding.
She thought about it and decided to look for Lan Tian at the bookstore.
She locked the car and walked through the alley into the small bookstore.
Shi Jin pushed open the door and entered. The small bookstore ended at a row of small desks. Only Lan Tian was at a computer, typing.
Shi Jin walked over.
Lan Tian was delighted to see her. She patted the seat beside her and whispered, “I just have a little more.”
Shi Jin sat quietly beside her, waiting.
Lan Tian was already an adult and was in university, but she still looked like a little girl.
She was well protected by her family, and didn’t know much about the evils of the human heart.
Shi Jin thought that such a girl was really happy sometimes, but sometimes she could be easily hurt.
“Sis? Sis?”
Shi Jin was startled out of her reverie by Lan Tian’s voice.
Lan Tian packed her computer and bag and said with a smile, “I’m sorry, but the mentor requested that we send the contents to him before six so he can check them. That’s why I’ve been rushing that manuscript. The information I need is only available in this bookstore. Now I’ve got it all.”
Shi Jin followed suit and stood. “Then let’s go eat now.”
“I’d like that.”
