Chapter 337: Hypocrisy

The girl’s outstretched hand froze awkwardly. She secretly glanced at Fu Ting and then retreated without daring to speak.
...Before she came, she had already heard of how autocratic Lian Jing was. When she first saw him gently holding the hand of the woman beside him, she only felt that he was extraordinarily handsome. However, now that he was targeting her, she felt afraid.
After all, the Lian family’s surname was Lian and not Fu. If she really offended Lian Jing, she probably would not be able to continue working in this family.
Fu Ting’s face darkened slightly. He felt that he had been publicly humiliated by Lian Jing, but after a moment, he maintained his calm and smiled. “Little Jing, you’re still so serious. We’re cousins. Aren’t my servants yours? What’s wrong with pouring you a cup of tea?”
Lian Jing snorted coldly. The butler quickly came over to pour the tea and braced himself to ease the atmosphere. “President Lian, in order to welcome Fu
Ting, Old Master specially instructed the kitchen to prepare some special dishes. There are a few dishes that were prepared according to Miss Shen’s taste as usual.”
“This is?” Fu Ting took over and looked at Shen Yin with a friendly expression.
Old Master Lian introduced her to him with a smile. “This is Lian Jing’s girlfriend. Her name is Shen Yin. She’s a forensic pathologist.”
Fu Ting raised his eyebrows and slowly took a sip of hot tea before turning his head to tease the Old Master. “No wonder Little Jing refused to accept an arranged marriage for so many years. It turns out that he already knew this beautiful cousin-in-law.”
“Yin Yin once saved my life.” Old Master Lian said emotionally as he talked about the past.
Fu Ting sat there and listened quietly. At first glance, he looked like a filial and sensible man, but Shen Yin had interacted with different criminals over the years, so she had instantly discerned the ruthless glint in his eyes.
He probably hated Lian Jing.
Thinking of Lian’e and Fu Xiao’s attitude towards her, Shen Yin was not at all surprised hat Fu Ting and Lian Jing did not get along. It was just that he seemed to be very good at pretending and he appeared to be keeping Old Master Lian happy.
During dinner, Fu Ting drank with the Old Master and asked casually, “I heard that Little Jing has a son now. Where is he?”
Old Master Lian narrowed his eyes slightly, then instantly regained his gentle expression. “Nian Nian is taking care of his classmate in the hospital. When he’s back this weekend, I’ll introduce him to you.”
“Hospital?” Fu Ting quickly pretended to be worried and asked about what had happened. When he heard that Shen Nian was staying in the hospital to accompany his classmate as repayment for her kindness, he immediately laughed and said, “This serious personality is exactly the same as Lian Jing’s. I remember that when he was young, Lian Jing almost got into a car accident. At that time, Na Na happened to be with him and saved his life. Later on, the elders jokingly asked Lian Jing to marry her in repayment. At that time, Lian Jing did not reject them.”
Shen Yin suddenly felt a wave of jealousy. She pursed her lips and tightened her grip on her chopsticks, staring at the wine glass.
Lian Jing glanced at her and reached out to peel a boiled prawn for her. “Eat your food. Stop staring into space.”
After reminding Shen Yin, Lian Jing turned around and looked at Fu Ting expressionlessly. “It was just a joke when I was young. Speaking of which, the
Zhao family sent me an invitation a few days ago. Their daughter is getting engaged next month. I wonder if you’ve received the news?”
Fu Ting’s smug smile froze on his face. The veins on his hand that was holding the wine glass bulged.
Shen Yin stared at him warily, afraid that he would suddenly throw the wine glass at Lian Jing.
However, Fu Ting clearly knew that he must not lose control in front of Old Master Lian. His chest heaved up and down violently for a few moments before he finally calmed down. He smiled and said, “Then we really should congratulate her properly. Will Grandpa go too?”
Old Master Lian’s expression was unfriendly. It was obvious that he had thought of an absurd incident that had occurred in the past. He sneered and said, “I won’t go. Now that Little Jing is in charge of the company, an old man like me doesn’t need to join the festivities. I’ll get someone to prepare a congratulatory gift in advance.”
Fu Ting forced a stiff smile and toasted the Old Master with an ugly smile. “Grandpa, actually, I have something to discuss with you now that I’m back. Little Jing has sent my mother overseas to develop new markets, but the company that she has been running for many years can’t be left rudderless. So I thought that I might as well take this opportunity to stay and accompany you.”
Old Master Lian did not answer. He smiled at his grandson. “What do you think, Little Jing?”
Lian Jing looked up and asked in a business-like manner, “Have you settled matters in Liancheng?”
“It’s all been handed over. I have no plans to go back this time. Of course, I can’t leave a mess behind. After all, this is the fruit of my hard work over the past few years,” Fu Ting replied sincerely. His attitude was humble, and no one could find fault with him.
However, this method of acting first and asking permission later was repulsive.
Lian Jing narrowed his eyes and said with a fake smile, “Alright, Grandpa is old now. You should also stay by his side. However, since you’re doing your filial duty, don’t go out and fool around every day like before and so that Grandpa doesn’t get to see you..”
