Chapter 143: Fu Sijue Joked

Fu Sijue's already deep, ink‑colored eyes were now terrifyingly black, and his gaze at Yun Ruojin was guarded, laced with intense hostility.

Seeing her grip the fountain pen so tightly, Yun Ruojin felt as if he were squeezing his own throat.

A Fu Sijue like this is too frightening…

Shen Shu recounted the whole matter in detail to Fu Sijue while they were in the car.

He was the first to suspect Yun Ruojin.

"Miss Yun, don't you want to explain?"

Fu Sijue narrowed his eyes dangerously, making Yun Ruojin even less able to read his meaning.

But she knew Fu Sijue's mood must be very bad right now.

"I still went to Miss Xi to apologize for what happened last time; I don't know why those people suddenly rushed out… "

Yun Ruojin's eyes flashed as she changed the subject, "Isn't Miss Xi a doctor? I think what those people meant is that Miss Xi hurt their family members; otherwise they wouldn't be so angry."

Lu Xiwán's scalp was still sore from being pulled, and hearing Yun Ruojin's words made her even more furious.

This clumsy acting made Lu Xiwán almost unable to watch any longer.

"I've been working abroad all these years, and most of the patients I've dealt with are foreigners; today the troublemakers are all locals from Haicheng."

Lu Xiwán saw no need to indulge Yun Ruojin and directly exposed her lie.

If Shen Shu hadn't appeared in time, who knows what else might have happened today.

Even if she can't truly do anything to Yun Ruojin, a good reprimand is still necessary.

"A Jue, you can't doubt me! Today Xi Wan was being harassed, and I've been protecting her all along! Assistant Shen saw it all!"

Yun Ruojin, in order to act the whole part, practically threw herself onto Lu Xiwán's protected side; who could have imagined that before she could even get a strand of Lu Xiwán's hair, Shen Shu arrived first.

It even caused her to be interrogated like a suspect.

To craft a good image for herself, Yun Ruojin really went to great lengths.

Fu Sijue showed no gratitude at all and turned his gaze directly to Shen Shu.

Having received Shen Shu's affirmation, Fu Sijue temporarily spared Yun Ruojin.

"Are you okay?" When looking at Lu Xiwán, Fu Sijue's demeanor clearly improved, his tone softening a bit.

Lu Xiwán gave a slight nod.

"From now on, don't go looking for Xi Wan again." Fu Sijue didn't spare Yun Ruojin either, using a method to keep her away from Lu Xiwán.

Thus the matter concluded, leaving Yun Ruojin in deep remorse.

Lu Xiwán's ears finally enjoyed a period of quiet.

Taking advantage of this time, she happened to finish revising all the drafts for the Spring Fashion Show.

A week before the start, Yunsheng Studio ran into problems.

The several brand partners that had already been confirmed seemed to change their minds overnight, each claiming they had no money left.

Yunsheng's big show had no one taking it on; the funding chain was cut, and the Spring Fashion Show faced the risk of being halted.

Even a few manufacturers that had a good impression of Yunsheng ignored Luo Zhou's pleas for help.

Yunsheng's survival situation became even more dire.

Lu Xiwán naturally knew it was Yun Ruojin pulling strings behind the scenes.

But they could do nothing.

No one would risk offending the Yun Family to help a fledgling studio.

Upon learning the news, Fu Sijue didn't hesitate to have Shen Shu extend an olive branch to Luo Zhou, inviting him to the Fu Clan.

Luo Zhou had no choice but to keep the appointment.

"Mr. Fu, Yunsheng can supply your company's entertainment department with costumes for the coming years."

Luo Zhou could only utter that dry sentence and then fell silent.

His proud backbone wouldn't allow him to bow his head and ask the Luo Family for help.

Likewise, Fu Sijue was never within his considerations.

But now, for Yunsheng, he had to lower his head.
