C10 Master Jiaang

Reflecting on her encounter with Fu Yuanxi and his unusual behavior, it became clear that tonight, Chu Tian might have intended to set up Fu Yuanxi. Yet, ironically, she, an outsider, ended up caught in the crossfire.

Thinking about the farce of the evening, orchestrated by the person in front of her, she felt a surge of frustration, wishing she could confront him with the truth.

However...

When she glanced at Fu Yuanxi, whose eyes seemed to carry a hidden depth beneath a veneer of amusement, she suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for the Chu family.

Crossing Fu Yuanxi might spell the beginning of the end for the Chu family.

"Ah, Young Master Fu, you're joking. I wouldn't dare to casually comment on you," Chu Tian said, wiping the sweat from his brow with a forced smile.

"Oh, I don't mind. Go ahead, tell me, am I really someone who isn't interested in women?" Fu Yuanxi's tone almost made Shen Di lose her composure.

What kind of person was Fu Yuanxi?

In all thirty-six towns under A City's jurisdiction, everyone knew his reputation: ruthless, domineering, self-centered, aloof, uninterested in women, and seemingly without weaknesses...

In short, Fu Yuanxi was a man so formidable that he made nearly every other man feel inadequate.

A chill ran down Shen Di's spine. Getting entangled with a man like this was clearly not a wise move. It was evident that once this task was completed, she needed to distance herself from him as quickly as possible.

Chu Tian's legs were trembling, and he could only look to Jiang Guoxiong for help.

Shen Di suddenly remembered what Xu Miao had said and realized that this ET building was the Chu family's territory. In other words, the person making deals with Jiang Guoxiong was none other than Chu Tian!

Shen Di's expression turned cold, and she immediately felt that Chu Tian was despicable. Jiang Guoxiong's actions were inhumane, and anyone colluding with him couldn't be any better.

Sure enough, seeing Chu Tian's gaze, Jiang Guoxiong chuckled, "Alright, Young Master Fu, we're here today to discuss the project about building a resort in Yaocheng. Let's set other matters aside for now."

Fu Yuanxi's eyes flickered at these words, and he looked at Jiang Guoxiong with a half-smile, "What if I say no?"

Impressive! Shen Di silently applauded Fu Yuanxi and then glanced at Jiang Guoxiong. Despite Fu Yuanxi's words, Jiang Guoxiong still wore a smile, exuding a warm and pleasant demeanor, which made her uneasy.

Upon closer inspection of his eyes, she noticed they remained calm and unruffled, as if Fu Yuanxi's refusal hadn't affected him at all. How could he not react? It was simply that his mental fortitude was beyond ordinary.

At that moment, Shen Di realized how tough this man was. A man who could endure humiliation without showing a hint of dissatisfaction had a mental fortitude beyond that of ordinary people.

Shen Di remembered reading somewhere that true peace of mind means not caring about others' verbal attacks. She used to think no one could achieve that, but today, she finally met such a person. And, unfortunately, he was an enemy!

"Young Master Fu, do you have any plans to collaborate with a company in Yaocheng to build a resort?" Jiaang Guoxiong didn't answer Fu Yuanxi's question but instead went straight to the point.

Fu Yuanxi's fingers twitched slightly, and then a smile appeared on his lips. "The reason I'm here is to discuss this with you, Master Jiaang. Do you have any good recommendations? After all, you're much more familiar with Yaocheng than I am, being an outsider."
