CHAPTER 250: CHAPTER 250

Fu Wangning even linked Jiang Moxi to the woman who was with Fu Youhan that night, full of a sense of crisis.

The previously sweet smile on her calm and pure face could not help but fade a bit.

"Moxi, it seems you and Huahua, Brother Han, and the others get along really well. It’s my first time seeing them take care of someone like this."

The obvious sourness in Fu Wangning’s words made everyone feel the air around them grow heavier.

"Of course, Sister Moxi is the great benefactor who helped skyrocket my grades!"

Ling Hua also noticed something and hurriedly started to smooth things over.

In fact, she also knew from what the adults said that Fu Wangning was to marry the uncle.

Although she really shipped Jiang Moxi with the uncle, Fu Wangning was after all the officially designated partner.

If she caused a ruckus and it led to their separation, the Fu Family would definitely give her mother trouble.

Ling Ye also realized that his sister had stirred up trouble and quickly chimed in: "Moxi is also a great buddy of mine, so of course we were going to take good care of her now that she could come play with us."

Fu Wangning, listening to Ling Hua and Ling Ye making their positions clear, then turned to look at Fu Youhan.

Actually, all she wanted was a definitive statement from Fu Youhan.

As long as Fu Youhan denied his relationship with Jiang Moxi, she would believe it.

But after waiting for several minutes, Fu Youhan still did not speak.

Her heart suddenly began to sink little by little.

Fu Youhan’s non-committal stance, combined with Fu Wangning’s refusal to accept and her sad demeanor, made the atmosphere at the dinner table even more tense.

The irony was that Jiang Moxi and Fu Youhan, the two parties involved in the questioned relationship, remained silent throughout.

Fu Youhan was somewhat concerned that Jiang Moxi always refused to let others discover their relationship.

Especially today, when Fu Youhan realized that Fu Yiming still harbored feelings for Jiang Moxi, he couldn’t help but suspect whether it was for Fu Yiming that Jiang Moxi wouldn’t acknowledge their relationship.

So was her first time with Fu Yiming?

Does she still remember the good times they had together?

Or is she keeping Fu Yiming on the hook, wanting to experience those good times with him again in the future?

Such speculations made him feel the impulse to tear apart the pretense he had carefully maintained for many years.

Jiang Moxi remained silent because she knew that Fu Wangning just wanted to hear from Fu Youhan.

But after waiting for a long time, Fu Youhan just quietly ate his Wellington steak, as if it all had nothing to do with him.

Unable to hold back, Jiang Moxi kicked out from under the table.

But who knew, that person actually caught her foot, flicked off her slipper, and started toying with the arch of her foot...

Jiang Moxi’s cheeks flushed immediately, and the blush quickly spread to her ear tips!

But she couldn’t say a word, only glaring at Fu Youhan and silently cursing in her heart: Shameless!

Yet Fu Youhan acted as if nothing had happened, continuing to eat.

His pace of eating was not hurried, slow and methodical, perfectly showcasing his nobility and elegance.

No matter how you looked at him, you couldn’t tell he was the one misbehaving under the table.

Jiang Moxi gritted her teeth in anger, wanting to break free from his grasp.

But Fu Youhan gripped even tighter and continued to scratch more vigorously.

Ye Chen, seeing the two of them quietly responding to Fu Wangning, was pondering whether to say something to help, when Fu Yiming spoke up at that moment.

"Aunt Wangning, you might not know, but Moxi was previously my fiancée. So I suppose the uncle must also be taking extra care of her for this reason."

At that statement, everyone looked at Jiang Moxi in utter astonishment.

Especially Ling Ye and Ling Hua, as if they were hearing a completely implausible story.

"Sister Moxi, you were Brother Yiming’s fiancée?"

"Really?"

The Ling siblings asked in quick succession.

Jiang Moxi glanced up at Fu Youhan, whose eyes grew colder by a fraction.

Taking advantage of the man’s diverted attention, Jiang Moxi quickly withdrew her feet and then spoke up.

"That was before, it’s not like that now."

Everyone’s expressions were somewhat intriguing.

Fu Wangning seemed relieved; she smiled apologetically at Jiang Moxi and said:

"I heard about the engagement between Yiming and the Jiang Family’s daughter while I was abroad, but I never connected it with you, Moxi."

"The Jiang Family’s daughter you’ve heard about is probably not me. I was adopted by that family."

Jiang Moxi’s tone was slightly mocking.

After all, that family had never acknowledged her publicly, so what difference did it make whether she was the real daughter or the adopted one.

Fu Yiming felt very uncomfortable listening to Jiang Moxi so clearly dissociating herself from the Jiang Family and from him, Fu Yiming.

"Moxi..."

Fu Yiming wanted to say something, but before he could get the words out, Jiang Moxi interrupted him.

"And Young Master Fu, our engagement was only verbal, nothing substantial, and now you’ve got your wish to be with the real daughter of the Jiang Family. Please stop publicizing our past, lest others assume we have some unspeakable relationship."

Jiang Moxi looked directly at Fu Yiming, her eyes cold from beginning to end, her emotions calm.

This made it difficult for people to believe that there was nothing between her and Fu Yiming.

So under the dual influence of the Fu Family’s prestige and the amorous charm of Yiming, Jiang Moxi always managed to remain as calm as still waters.

This inevitably impressed everyone with Jiang Moxi!

Especially Ling Hua, who was cheering in her heart: Amazing, my sister!

Her admiration for Jiang Moxi had grown even stronger.

Fu Yiming, on the other hand, felt terrible.

He hardly ever failed when pursuing girls, even when he directly sought fleeting unions.

Even the most chaste women would invariably submit to him within days.

But Jiang Moxi was so averse to him, even openly distancing herself from him in front of everyone.

It seemed that his previous dalliance with Jiang Weiwei truly hurt Jiang Moxi’s heart.

Nevertheless, Fu Yiming still harbored thoughts of Jiang Moxi’s beautiful legs.

The meat that had not reached his mouth always stayed on his mind – such was the baseness of men.

So he planned to pursue Jiang Moxi over the next few days, sending flowers and a few luxury purses...

Women always liked this kind of vain and flamboyant courtship.

He believed it wouldn’t be long before Jiang Moxi would willingly lie beneath him.

However, just as Fu Yiming was indulging in these thoughts, Fu Youhan, who had been silent up to now, suddenly spoke.

"Didn’t you have the kitchen make curry crab? Serve it up, let’s not dwell on such unlucky topics."

Fu Youhan’s words caused everyone to unconsciously look in his direction.

But his gaze just lightly swept towards Jiang Moxi, the corner of his lips hooking into an almost imperceptible smile.

The curve was faint, yet it was evident that he was in a good mood.

His woman had publicly disentangled herself from her ex-fiancé and covertly explained to him that there was nothing between her and her ex.

This made his heart feel like a grand fireworks show had been set off.

Now, no matter how he looked at Jiang Moxi, he was pleased and just wanted to spoil her to the heavens!

Therefore, the gazes of these irrelevant people didn’t matter, he just wanted to make Jiang Moxi happy.

Upon hearing Fu Youhan’s words, Ye Chen knew someone was secretly doting on his woman and hurriedly asked the housekeeper to serve the curry crab.

What flashed through his mind was that, after confirming Jiang Moxi would be visiting the private hot spring hotel, Fu Youhan had specifically instructed him to prepare this dish of curry crab because it was Jiang Moxi’s favorite.

As for Fu Yiming, he couldn’t shake the feeling that Fu Youhan’s use of the word "unlucky" when referring to his and Jiang Moxi’s engagement was an indirect way of humiliating him as well...
