When Jiang Bei arrived at the Glass House in the evening, there was already an additional person inside, introduced by Wei Shaoqin:
"This is Auntie Yang, who has been taking care of my family. I’ve asked her to take care of Su Mu for a while, since I can’t cook."
After Jiang Bei had greeted her, he imdiately had Wei Shaoqin carry two large suitcases upstairs, while Wei Shaoqin, following orders but quite puzzled, asked, "What do you need all this stuff for? If Su Mu is lacking anything, I can just buy it for her directly. Isn’t this all too troubleso for you?"
"It wasn’t who took them," Jiang Bei replied, sowhat gloomily. "Fu Shinian gave them to to bring over."
Wei Shaoqin had just carried the two cases upstairs when, hearing this, he was ready to take them downstairs again:
"He gave them to you and you brought them here? Why didn’t you just throw them away?"
Jiang Bei was about to say sothing when Su Mu appeared and interrupted the two: "Leave them, I do indeed need them."
Wei Shaoqin looked at Su Mu, sowhat angry:
"Aren’t you afraid there are tracking devices and listening bugs inside? You’re not afraid that he’ll just snatch you back and continue to keep you confined?"
Although Wei Shaoqin’s unrestrained words were the truth, Su Mu might not want to hear them. Jiang Bei stepped in and slapped him, "You talk too much. There won’t be any of those things inside, Fu Shinian doesn’t need to do that."
"How can you be sure?"
"Because he knows Su Mu is here."
Wei Shaoqin: "...What?"
Jiang Bei walked over to Su Mu, sighed while looking at her pallor, which had improved but still seed listless:
"I saw him today. He ca to the hospital to deliver these things to Qiao Yu. It just so happened that a friend of his ca to visit the ergency room, and then he had a few words with ."
Su Mu looked at Jiang Bei, her face showing little reaction, as if the person Jiang Bei spoke of had absolutely no connection to her. But perhaps only she knew that upon hearing Fu Shinian’s na, her heart couldn’t help but skip a beat.
Wei Shaoqin also ca over at this ti:
"What did he say to you?"
"He said he knows you’re here and that taking you back would be a matter of minutes. The reason he hasn’t done it is that he doesn’t want to, not that he can’t."
Wei Shaoqin glanced at Su Mu, and seeing her unruffled deanor, he exploded:
"What does he an by that? Who does he think he is? Does he think it’s so easy to take Su Mu back? I don’t believe this."
Jiang Bei sighed, "He said that he knew we had taken Su Mu away from Bishui Yuntian and that he let us do it so smoothly because he was cooperating with us."
Wei Shaoqin felt his abilities were being seriously questioned:
"So, he has utterly disregarded us?"
"Whether you want to believe it or not," Jiang Bei said with a wry smile. "It seems that’s the truth."
"To hell with the truth, I don’t believe it. Does Fu Shinian really think he can cover the sky with one hand in Shen City?" Wei Shaoqin looked at Jiang Bei. "You don’t think he was bluffing you, do you?"
Jiang Bei looked at him speechlessly: "Am I that stupid?"
Wei Shaoqin shook his head; Jiang Bei was clever, he couldn’t deny that.
But the truth of the matter was, Fu Shinian truly didn’t know where Su Mu was at the mont. He hadn’t ordered anyone to check because he felt it was an unnecessary action and didn’t plan to take Su Mu back at this ti. He had never told Jiang Bei Su Mu’s exact location, saying only, "Su Mu is currently with Wei Shaoqin."
Jiang Bei believed Fu Shinian’s words because he was always right.
While they were arguing, Su Mu had already gone over to the suitcase, crouched down, and opened one of them, imdiately noticing the Hasselblad cara, then her cell phone, and a variety of clothes, shoes, and other items. There weren’t many, but they included everything she needed and was accustod to using.
Only when Su Mu took out the cara did she realize that it was a completely different model from the one she had bought. She had seen this model at the store as well, and it cost about 100,000 more than her own. Did he buy it? Su Mu didn’t know.
Jiang Bei ca over and saw the item in Su Mu’s hand:
"Did you buy a cara? Isn’t this your favorite brand?"
Su Mu responded without much explanation.
The dinner Aunt Yang prepared was plentiful, all light and tasty, clearly considering Su Mu’s preferences. She gave face and ate quite a lot, which led Jiang Bei and Wei Shaoqin to finally relax.

Fu Shinian did not return to Bishui Yuntian, but went to another apartnt near the company. Resting for the night seed to bring no significant improvent, at least to his own feelings, as sothing still seed off, but because he couldn’t solve it, he subconsciously ignored it.
When he reached the top floor of the company, Song Yi greeted him:
"Qin Nianwan’s agent, Chen Jie, has been waiting for you for half an hour."
Fu Shinian answered:
"Let her in."
"Yes."
Fu Shinian had just sat down when the door to the office was knocked, and after Song Yi ushered Chen Jie in and politely left, Fu Shinian signaled for Chen Jie to take a seat in the visitor’s chair opposite him:
"Is there sothing Agent Chen needs from ?"
Chen Jie got straight to the point:
"I think Qin Nianwan might co to see Mr. Fu soon, so I ca over to give you a heads-up in advance."
Fu Shinian looked up at her, "What do you an?"
"Qin Nianwan’s appearance is very suitable for the high-end route, so I have been very strict about endorsents and her works. But Qin Nianwan seems to be dissatisfied with the image plan I have for her, and she has been telling recently that she wants to take on endorsents. However, she has only just beco famous and her TV series haven’t aired yet. Even though the endorsees knocking on her door offer high prices, they are all low-end brands, which I have rejected."
Fu Shinian slightly smiled:
"With your talents, Agent Chen, getting a few high-end brand endorsents for Qin Nianwan wouldn’t be difficult, even now."
"Yes, I have recomnded a few, but Qin Nianwan doesn’t seem very willing to accept." Chen Jie looked at Fu Shinian, "Does Mr. Fu know why?"
"Is it because of the endorsent fee?"
"Since Qin Nianwan is relatively new to the scene, and her appearances at various galas and fashion shows are scarce, even if high-end brands acknowledge Fu Corporation and give Qin Nianwan the recognition, the endorsent fees won’t be very high—in fact, so might even be for free, but that’s just how the market operates."
Fu Shinian leaned back in his chair, looking at Chen Jie:
"What do you want to do?"
"Actually, Mr. Fu doesn’t need to do anything, just do not agree to her plans when Qin Nianwan cos to you. Otherwise, it would be difficult for to proceed with my work. I believe when Mr. Fu entrusted Qin Nianwan to , he didn’t just want her to be a re money-making tool, right?"
