Chapter 691: What Can I Do If I’m Handsome?
Assistant Zhang had originally hoped that Fu Zhaoxiang would deliberately act like a good husband in front of Qiu Xingmi, but when she saw the way he looked at her, her last hope was shattered.
“We… weeding?” Assistant Zhang was shocked.
She had not expected his gaze to be ruthless, and his words to be even more ruthless.
“It’s okay if Assistant Zhang is unwilling. This is not your responsibility to begin with. It’s just that you kept asking to come to the Southern Courtyard to help today. I thought you were the type who could help with anything,” Fu Zhaoxiang said indifferently.
“I…” Assistant Zhang did not know what to say for a moment.
She did not know how to weed at all.
“If it’s not convenient, I won’t make things difficult for you.” Fu Zhaoxiang’s tone turned cold.
How could Assistant Zhang not understand that Fu Zhaoxiang had directly slapped her face?
Initially, he had already rejected her clearly enough in the afternoon, but she refused to give up and even rushed over.
Assistant Zhang really did not know if she should agree or not.
Fu Zhaoxiang said, “Let’s go back. If anything happens to the Fu Corporation’s employees in the middle of the night, we’ll have to deal with the diplomatic representatives. Assistant Zhang, it’s already very difficult for people to do their job well. As for other things, if you don’t have the energy, there’s no need to take responsibility. No one can do so much.”
Assistant Zhang’s face turned red from his words.
“Got it, Mr. Fu. I’ll go back now.” Assistant Zhang fled.
Throughout the entire process, Qiu Xingmi did not say a word, and Fu Zhaoxiang resolved everything himself.
Qiu Xingmei couldn’t help but reach out and pat his face. “Fu Zhaoxiang, oh Fu Zhaoxiang. I didn’t expect that after more than twenty years, there would still be so many women pursuing you.”
“What can I do about being handsome? It’s not my problem.” Fu Zhaoxiang pretended to be troubled and sighed.
“You think I’m complimenting you?” Qiu Xingmi punched him heavily.
Fu Zhaoxiang grabbed her hand. “Alright, I was wrong. Next time, I should have slapped her face on the spot. I shouldn’t have let her come to the Southern Courtyard.”
“I know. You want to tell me on the spot that you didn’t accept these women. Indeed, just reject them directly next time. I don’t want to see them anymore.”
“Yes, wife!”

Fu Xiuyuan and Shi Jin returned to the Fu residence.
When Butler Kang saw them return, he quickly came over and said, “Young Master, Young Madam, Jiang Yiqian is here. She’s waiting for you inside.”
“Who is that?” Fu Xiuyuan asked indifferently.
Butler Kang knew that he had always been too lazy to remember these unimportant people, so he explained Jiang Yiqian’s identity.
“Why is she looking for us?”
“I think she’s sick. She came to ask Young Madam for help.”
“Just say that the Young Madam is busy.” Fu Xiuyuan rejected her immediately.
“Alright, got it,” Butler Kang quickly said.
Shi Jin couldn’t help but laugh. “I didn’t expect her to really fall for it. When she came to look for trouble today, Mom deliberately hugged her and used a little itching powder on her. She must have thought that she was infected.”
Fu Xiuyuan looked at her with a smile. There was only doting in his eyes, not a hint of reproach.
“Leave her waiting. She reaped what she sowed,” Shi Jin said lazily. She had no sympathy for such people.
Although Jiang Yiqian had taken a shower after the incident and quickly disinfected herself, not long after she returned, her body was still covered in red rashes.
The red rash was so itchy that she couldn’t help but reach out and scratch it hard. Soon, her arm was covered in bloody marks.
She was frightened. Thinking back to how Qiu Xingmi had hugged her fiercely, she knew that she was in trouble. She must have been infected by Qiu Xingmi.
She went to the hospital immediately. The doctor prescribed some medicine for her, but it was useless after she used it. That was why she ran to the Fu family to beg Shi Jin.
Seeing Butler Kang enter, she quickly stood up. “Butler Kang, where’s Shi Jin?”
“Young Madam is not free. Go back.”
“Butler Kang, I’m begging you. Let me see Shi Jin…” Jiang Yiqian begged.
Butler Kang no longer wanted to care about her, so he got the bodyguards to take her away.
Jiang Yiqian cried uncontrollably as she was brought out of the Fu family.
She had no choice but to look for Qin Fanya.
Qin Fanya was a little disgusted. Seeing the scratches on her arm, she immediately felt disgusted.
“Fanya, please help me.”
Qin Fanya put on a mask and gloves before picking up her arm to look at it. After a long time, she said, “It should just be an allergy. There’s nothing wrong.”
“Really?” Jiang Yiqian did not believe her.
“Then why don’t you find another doctor to take a look?” Qin Fanya took off her mask and gloves.
Jiang Yiqian finally believed her. “So Qiu Xingmi was lying to me!”
Qin Fanya listened to her explain everything and finally understood what was going on.
“Why must you offend Qiu Xingmi?” Qin Fanya could not understand Jiang Yiqian’s thoughts.
“I… I…” Jiang Yiqian stammered, unable to explain the jealousy and inferiority complex in her heart.
Qin Fanya did not want to talk to her anymore. “Go back and rest. You’ll be fine in two days.”

At the Jiang residence.
Jiang Ning’s official inauguration banquet was about to be held.
The entire Jiang family was busy because of this.
Shi Jin sat opposite Jiang Ning and said with a smile, “Congratulations, President Jiang.”
“Don’t tease me. Quickly see if my clothes are suitable.” Jiang Ning was trying on a custom-made, high-end formal suit. It was dark blue with light stripes.
In order to make herself look more mature and steady, she had done her best.
“Very good.” Shi Jin sized her up. “This is it.”
Jiang Ning said, “I’ll take care of this inauguration banquet myself. There are still many things to do and I need quite a few people. Shi Jin, help me choose a few.”
The last time Shi Jin had gone to Country F, she had worked with the people around her and knew quite a lot about these people.
Just as she was about to speak, Jiang Yiqian walked in and said to Jiang Ning, “Jiang Ning, congratulations. From now on, the entire Jiang family will be under your control. Everyone is very happy.”
Jiang Ning rolled her eyes at her. That was not what she had said back then.
“I heard that you have to personally arrange your inauguration banquet. You must be very busy, right? If there’s anything you need me for, just tell me. I can come and help at any time,” Jiang Yiqian recommended herself hopefully.
Everyone knew that Jiang Ning was generous. Those who worked for her would more or less receive some benefits.
Many people were thinking of ways to help with such a huge matter like the inauguration banquet.
How could Jiang Ning not understand Jiang Yiqian’s thoughts? She said indifferently, “I don’t need help here. I have enough people.”
“Jiang Ning, then you can at least give me something to do, right? Like receiving guests or something?”
