Shen Jia Nian had just cried, her eyelashes were wet, and she looked at him in surprise.
Not because he learned that Yin Shuyao did this. She has now seen clearly what kind of person Yin Shuyao is, and anything outrageous she does will not be surprising. What really surprised her was that the man in front of her knew that she had a cousin. Does that mean he had found out her identity clearly?
Being able to live in such a luxurious and unique manor, it must not be difficult for him to find out the details of a person with his ability.
Shen Jia Nian felt shuddering as his thoughts turned around.
Fu Jichen understood her thoughts at a glance. He stroked the sleeping lion carved from white jade with his fingertips, and said with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, Miss Shen, I won't harm you."
Shen Jia Nian is willing to believe this sentence. She lived in his private territory for several days. If he had any evil intentions, he could take advantage of her coma to succeed.
Apart from this body, she has nothing else to worry about.
Fu Jichen further explained: "I admit that I investigated your background just because of my personal habits. I don't feel at ease when someone who is unclear is under my eyes."
He spoke so frankly that Shen Jia Nian could understand it even more. The higher you are in a high position, the more cautious you must be in dealing with certain things. If you accidentally fall into your opponent's trap, you will end up in an irreversible end. Not to mention strangers, even if they have known each other for decades, they cannot be completely trusted. Her father just trusted his family friends too much...
Fu Jichen judged from the gradually relaxed state of her shoulders and neck that she had put away her vigilance, so he changed the subject: "What is Miss Shen going to do?"
Shen Jia Nian didn't seem to understand and raised his eyes in confusion.
"I'm talking about your cousin." Fu Jichen reminded.
Shen Jianian pursed his lips, lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
Ever since she moved into Yin's house and was placed in the messy attic on the top floor by Hu Yuzhi, Yin Shuyao had been sarcastic and sarcastic towards her. She endured it repeatedly just because she didn't want to embarrass her uncle. She thought that Yin Shuyao could at least take advantage of her verbally, and that as long as she didn't argue with her, she would be able to live in peace.
No matter how harsh those words were, they would not kill her or make her lose a piece of flesh. She would just endure it.
When the man in front of her told her that Yin Shuyao hired those people to bully her, she just felt ridiculous.
In the past, Yin Shuyao was a considerate and kind-hearted sister. Every summer when she visited her home from Yicheng, she would always bring her some of her favorite specialties.
The two sisters lived in the same room and spent countless nights lying side by side on the large and soft bed talking about girlish thoughts. During the day they wore the same skirts and went shopping and had afternoon tea, and at night they went to see movies and concerts.
Thinking about it now, the deep love between sisters was all fake, and Yin Shuyao's superb acting skills deceived her.
The Shen family was prominent at that time, and Yin Shuyao could get a lot of benefits from being friends with her. He could wear high-end dresses and expensive jewelry from her wardrobe, go to membership-only restaurants, and attend flashy banquets in her name.
Shen Jianian picked up the water glass and took a sip. The warm water slid across her dry and stinging throat. She resigned and said, "Forget it."
Given her current unsafe situation, what can she do to Yin Shuyao?
"If I say I can help you." Fu Jichen's tone was casual, as if nothing in the world could trouble him.
Shen Jianian slowly clenched her fists, and the reluctance and anger that had been suppressed in her heart emerged. She was not a soft persimmon, and it was impossible for her to treat Yin Shuyao with a normal heart after experiencing two incidents that almost destroyed her innocence.
"I think -" Shen Jianian pondered for a while, then said word by word, "Treat the other person in his own way."
Would he think she was vicious? Shen Jianian looked at the man's expression and saw that he raised his eyebrows and said three words: "Not stupid yet."
Shen Jia Nian swallowed the cold medicine, and the bitter taste spread from the back of her tongue. She frowned slightly, quickly opened the lid of the iron box, took out a chocolate cookie, put it in her mouth and chewed it.
The sweetness invaded her taste buds, driving away the bitterness caused by the pills, and her frown relaxed.
Fu Jichen saw such a childish look on her face before leaving. Compared with the coldness and alienation she showed when they first met in the elevator, it was really strange.

The sequelae brought about by the repeated illness were particularly long-lasting. For several days, Shen Jia Nian was so weak that he never left the guest bedroom. Three meals a day are brought to the room by Zhou Rongzhen, and medicines are taken on time after meals.
Shen Jia Nian stopped mentioning leaving. The last incident left a deep shadow on her. She didn't dare to show off before her body recovered.
On this day, Shen Jia Nian was lying on the bed with her eyes closed and concentrating. She didn't have a mobile phone, so she spent most of the day in a daze. Zhou Rongzhen was afraid that she would be bored, so she sent her a few magazines.
She wasn't interested in that, her mind kept running, and what she thought about most was how to get back Ling Yue Group.
At lunch time, there was a knock on the door as in the past few days. Shen Jia Nian sat up and got out of bed. Knowing that the person coming was Zhou Rongzhen, he went over and opened the door.
It is indeed Zhou Rongzhen.
She didn't hold anything in her hand. When she saw Shen Jianian, she just smiled and said, "Miss Shen, sir, please go downstairs to the restaurant for dinner."
Shen Jia Nian was so surprised that he forgot all his reactions for a moment.
"Go, the dishes are on the table." Zhou Rongzhen's gentle voice brought her some comfort, "It's not good for your health to be bored in the room all day. The weather is nice today. You can go for a walk in the garden after dinner. The flowers are blooming. It’s so beautiful.”
"Okay, I'll be there right away."
Shen Jia Nian went to wash his face to wake up and followed Zhou Rongzhen downstairs to the restaurant.
There were several delicious dishes on the large long dining table. The man sat on one side and while waiting quietly, he casually flipped through a cookbook placed beside the table, seemingly fascinated.
Shen Jianian still doesn't know his name or identity. She only knows that the servants in the manor call him "Sir" with a respectful attitude. From this, she speculates that his family background is extraordinary and not just a wealthy family.
The temperament built up by money alone is different from the confidence brought by power. This person should belong to the category where money, power, fame and fortune are not lacking.
"Here? Sit down and eat." Fu Jichen caught a glimpse of a beautiful figure from the corner of his eye, closed the book and put it back in its place.
Shen Jianian pulled up the chair and sat down opposite him, with his knees together and his hands naturally placed on his legs. Not knowing what to say, he nodded towards him.
The atmosphere was somewhat silent, but fortunately Fu Jichen was not a talkative person.
The two of them ate separately. Shen Jianian picked up a piece of shrimp and made very little noise while eating. Such a dining atmosphere made people feel gastrointestinal discomfort.
Shen Jianian took a deep breath, no longer intending to play the ignorant girl: "Mr. Chen, I want to talk to you..."
"Wait a minute." Fu Jichen looked at her. The corners of his mouth seemed to be raised, but the arc was not obvious. "Who did you hear that my surname is Chen?"
Shen Jia Nian was interrupted, and the courage she had accumulated suddenly dissipated. She hesitated and said: "The driver who took me back to Yin's house that day called you Mr. Chen."
Fu Jichen coughed: "My surname is Fu, not Chen."
Shen Jianian was so embarrassed that he forgot to blink, and stared at him for a few seconds, apologizing: "I'm sorry, I made a mistake. Mr. Fu, I think..."
Locked in his gaze, Shen Jia Nian was so nervous that she was too embarrassed to say those words.
Fu Jichen waited patiently. There was no one else in the restaurant except them. There was only an orange kitten that appeared at an unknown time. It came over with elegant steps, jumped up on an empty dining chair, and "meowed" at the dining table. called out.
There was steamed seabass on the table, and the kitten came after smelling it.
Fu Jichen frowned slightly and ignored the cat for the time being, staring at the person opposite.
Shen Jianian has lived in the manor for a long time. Although she has never left the room, she knows that there are three stray cats and two stray dogs adopted in this garden.
Only this incident made her conclude that the owner of the manor was a caring person.
"What do you want to say?" Fu Jichen raised his wrist and looked at his watch. He had to go out for something, and he didn't have much time left for her.
Shen Jia Nian was worried and said with all his face, "Mr. Fu, I want to make a deal with you. You help me get the company back, and I will work for you indefinitely, is that okay?"
He has investigated her identity and background and is clear about her current predicament. She will not go into unnecessary details. It is better to explain her purpose directly.
