Chapter 124 - Falling From Grace (3)

“Fu Bainian-!”

Shen Yu’s angry voice echoed inside the office.

His hands were placed on the desk as he looked down at the man sitting in the chair behind it. At this moment, in this office, there was no boss and subordinate; only close friends.

He was practically shouting at Fu Bainian’s expressionless face.

“You can’t do this, do you hear me? We are now falling deeper and deeper! You can’t let your emotions control your rationality, don’t lose your mind!”

Apparently, since Shen Yu didn’t usually yell at people, his voice sounded a little hoarse. After he’d finished shouting, he coughed violently.

Fu Bainian furrowed his brows, stood up from the chair, and then went to the coffee table and poured a cup of tea. “Are you done shouting? Here, moisten your throat.”

Shen Yu took the cup of tea, and after he’d finished downing the drink, he said, “Fu Bainian, I’m serious, I also have shares in those stocks. I can’t let you continue down this path, or we’ll all suffer a huge financial loss. Jiang Cheng is clearly waiting for that!”

After frantically saying all that, he stared straight at Fu Bainian, waiting for his answer.

“Are you done?” Fu Bainian said indifferently in response.

“Let me emphasise my point again; I’m utterly serious this time! If you don’t stop, then I will withdraw my investment!”

The two men glared at each other for a minute before Fu Bainian said, “Ok!”

“What do you mean?” Shen Yu hurriedly asked. “Are you agreeing to stop?”

However, Fu Bainian shook his head. “You leave first, and I’ll consider this matter again!”

Listening to his ambiguous words, Shen Yu seemingly sighed in relief. He patted Fu Bainian’s shoulder and said, “Alright, think about it carefully, I won’t bother you. I’m leaving.”

After the office door closed behind Shen Yu, Fu Bainian sat on the couch and stared at the cup of hot tea, lost in his thoughts.

After a while, his phone rang. It was a new text message.

“Fu Bainian, I haven’t given up yet, so our marriage can't be considered as over! No matter what other people say, I will not believe it!!!”

Fu Bainian stared at the last sentence, especially the exclamation marks, for a long time. Suddenly, he smiled. It was a very shallow smile, but the corners of his mouth still rose slightly.

Half an hour later, Shen Yu received a phone call from Fu Bainian. The voice was as cold as usual. “Shen Yu, stop it!”

Shen Yu was in the hall. After receiving the call, he couldn’t help cheering. His money was saved, at least for the time being.

After he’d calmed down, he found that everyone around him was staring at him. He gave those people a bright smile. “I’m so happy today; I’ll treat you all to dinner tonight!”

And thus, everyone in the hall started cheering.

……

In the evening, it was Lan Jinyao’s turn to perform. She stood under the shadow of the tree, holding a long sword. Her figure was wrapped in a long white dress that fluttered along with her movements. Her actions were swift, yet elegant. She was flying fast with grace.

There were pink petals raining down around her; some landed on the ground, and some landed on her white clothes.
