Young Master Fu’s Incredible Real Heiress

“Forget it, it’s all very normal. Xinran knows this. It’s not worth it to worry about these small things,” Shi Jin advised her.

“Uh-huh. Xinran is off the scene.” The manager hurried over and brought her water and a towel.

Shi Jin could smell the alcohol on her breath. “What happened?”

“I-I was acting in a drinking scene. I drank a little to get into character, but after filming a dozen times, I accidentally drank a little too much.”

Shi Jin held out a hand to steady her. “Drank a little too much? That’s more than a little, isn’t it?”

“It’s fine, it’s fine, we’re done for the day. I’m going to remove my makeup and change.”

When she returned after changing, Shi Jin saw that she was still a little drunk and said, “I’ll get Eldest Brother to pick you up.”

“No need. He’s been very busy recently.” Liang Xinran shook her head.

The manager said, “I know, right? He didn’t show his face for more than ten days. In my opinion, a man really shouldn’t be spoiled. He doesn’t know how to cherish what he has.”

“Stop it,” Liang Xinran stopped her.

Shi Jin sensed an issue and said, “I’ll go back with you.”

On the way, Liang Xinran did not say much. It did not match her usual talkative personality.

When they reached her apartment, Shi Jin helped her in and poured her a glass of plain water before asking, “What’s my brother busy with?”

“Who knows? He’s always busy.” Liang Xinran drank water mouthful by mouthful.

Shi Jin pressed her hand. “Is there something even I can’t know?”

Liang Xinran put down her cup and said after a long time, “Yue Xiu always has a lot of things to do and always calls him along. He didn’t go at first, but slowly, he began to go all the time. Now, he often forgets that I still need him. Shi Jin, do you think men are all like this? Do they really not cherish what they have?”

“Eldest Brother probably has his own affairs, it’s probably work-related,” Shi Jin assured her. “He wouldn’t leave you alone.”

“How many days has it been since the official announcement? Everyone outside is still giving me their blessing. Tell me, am I being too optimistic about relationships?”

“Xinran.” Shi Jin did not know how to comfort her. She could only hug her and give her a shoulder to lean on, even though this shoulder was not what she wanted.

After Liang Xinran fell asleep, Shi Jin left.

She planned to go home directly, but somehow drove to Gu Jingyuan’s company.

The street lamps illuminated the street brightly. The door under the light opened, and Gu Jingyuan and Yue Xiu walked out chatting and laughing.

She frowned slightly and watched as Gu Jingyuan and Yue Xiu got into the car.

When she returned to Orchid Pavilion, Fu Xiuyuan saw that her expression was not right.

“What is it?”

“Nothing. I just thought it was a little strange. Eldest Brother suddenly got very close to Yue Xiu. I don’t know what he was busy with.”

Fu Xiuyuan frowned slightly. “The Yue family has already arranged for many people to be in your brother’s company. He should be prepared.”

“Yes, he definitely won’t have anything to do with Yue Xiu emotionally. If he did, he would have done so long ago. Why wait until now? But the situation is unclear now. I’m afraid Old Madam Yue and the others will harm him.” Shi Jin pinched her brow.

“Call Eldest Brother and ask him out for a chat.”

Shi Jin immediately picked up the phone and called Gu Jingyuan.

The phone rang several times before it was answered.

Gu Jingyuan’s voice sounded a little indifferent. “Right now?”

“When are you free? I’d like to see you as soon as possible.”

“I’m not free for a few days. I have to go to Canada in a couple of days. We’ll talk when I get back.”

Gu Jingyuan hung up.

Shi Jin and Fu Xiuyuan looked at each other.

***

A few days later, Shi Jin received another piece of news instead of the news that Gu Jingyuan wanted to meet with her.

“What? You said Eledst Brother was detained in Canada?” Shi Jin said into the phone, very surprised.

It was Gu Qingqing on the other end of the line. Her voice was anxious. “I don’t understand why either. I only said that he has to cooperate with the investigation because the terms affect Canada’s interests, so he can’t return to the country. I can’t contact him yet. I asked many friends, but they all said that they can’t see him in person.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll think of something,” Shi Jin assured her.

“That’s overseas. There are many things that can’t be handled. Shi Jin, please help.”

“I will, Mom. That’s my big brother. If something happens to him, it’s my duty.”

After Shi Jin hung up, the butler came over and said, “Young Madam, there’s a Miss Liang Xinran outside who wants to see you.”

“Let her in quickly.” Shi Jin stood up and saw that Liang Xinran had already run in with the servant.

Her eyes were red. She ran to Shi Jin and held her hand. “Shi Jin, what should we do?”

Her mouth thinned and she was on the verge of tears.

“It’s fine, it’s fine.” Shi Jin sat her down. “Butler, please make a cup of hot tea.”

“Will Jingyuan be detained there forever? I heard that someone was detained there previously and stayed there for more than ten years. He can’t even see his family.”

“He won’t. We’ll figure something out.”

“He’s just doing business. How did that happen?”

Shi Jin said softly, “There are many new drugs in his pharmaceutical company that can be used. There are also many people who want to obtain these formulas. Eldest Brother is extremely determined and unwilling to cooperate with others. Naturally, someone will find a way to detain him there. But don’t worry, if he didn’t make any mistakes, he won’t be detained forever.”

“Shi Jin, it’s my fault. Before he went out this time, I even found an excuse to quarrel with him. If only I didn’t quarrel with him.” Liang Xinran bit her lip.

“Drink some hot tea.” Shi Jin took it from the butler and placed it in her palm. “Don’t blame yourself. We’ll figure out how to fix this.”

“Okay. I’ll get back to work then. I tend to let my imagination run away with me even when I’m not working, so I might as well go film.”

“Did your driver follow you?”

“He’s with me.” Liang Xinran smiled, but it was a forced smile.

After Shi Jin sent her out, she immediately called Fu Xiuyuan. “I have to go to Canada.”

“I heard about Eldest Brother. Don’t be anxious.”

“I’m in no hurry, but I want to get there as soon as possible.”

After Shi Jin finished speaking with him, she picked up her luggage and got the chauffeur to send her to the airport.

They reached the airport. She had just gotten off the plane when she saw Fu Xiuyuan walking toward her.

He was in a hurry and didn’t stop walking. He obviously got to the airprot in a rush.

“If you’re busy, you don’t have to come and see me off…” Shi Jin’s heart ached at the amount of time he spent traveling back and forth.

“I’m not sending you off. I’ll go with you.”

His tone was firm as he took the suitcase from her.

Shi Jin pursed her lips. There was no time to be moved. She kept her emotions to herself.
