Chapter 16: Heaven’s Secrets Must Not Be Revealed; Fate Is Beyond Our Control

Yet, Shen Changhui was unwilling. Only he knew how he had obtained his academic credentials. Once outside the office, Shen Changhui lost his temper. “Lin Yu, what do you mean? Didn’t you say you could get me in directly? Why must I go through the same process as the others?”

Lin Yu glared at Shen Changhui. Were it not for the system informing her that this was the prophesied child she needed to support, she would have nothing to do with someone like him. Just now, Fu Jiajin’s prompt agreement to her suggestion had pleased her greatly. It must be that Fu Jiajin cared deeply for her, so whatever she said, Fu Jiajin would agree.

This confidence also stemmed from the fact that ever since she took control of this world, Fu Jiajin never refused anything she proposed. Shen Changhui fixed his gaze on the expression on Lin Yu’s face and suppressed his anger.

“Lin Yu, you know my abilities. I’m afraid I can’t work alongside you at the Fu Corporation.”

Lin Yu looked at Shen Changhui.

“It’s alright. You’ll definitely pass. Trust me. Tonight, I’ll send you some materials. Study them beforehand, and when asked, just explain in your own words.”

“Alright.”

Shen Changhui held back his resentment. In today’s society, someone like him had no right to be willful. Better to swallow his pride than to stubbornly resist.

Lu Yuan had followed Fu Jiajin for many years. He was well aware of Fu Jiajin’s recent reckless behavior but wondered if he was blind to have taken a liking to that foster sister who had just left. Clearly, someone like Miss Jiang was more suitable.

Fu Jiajin, casting a casual glance at Lu Yuan, instantly sensed the ill thoughts brewing in his mind.

“Are you badmouthing me?”

“Ah?” Lu Yuan rubbed the back of his head. “No way!”

Fu Jiajin didn’t bother to argue. After all, Lu Yuan had indeed not been acting like his usual self these past years. Yet sometimes, Fu Jiajin found it strange that Lin Yu was so powerful, yet couldn’t control the so-called others.

Lu Yuan quickly fixed his gaze on Fu Jiajin.

“Are you really planning to recruit that person?”

“Lu Yuan, you’re not an outsider. Regardless, that foster sister of mine will join the Fu Corporation. I can’t make it too obvious, you understand?”

Lu Yuan felt his mind start to spin. After a moment, he nodded.

Suddenly, Fu Jiajin remembered someone.

“Have you found anything on the people from that temple I asked you to investigate?”

“That so-called Master Kong’er isn’t in the temple. I sent people to wait for a long time, but all they brought back was a slip of paper.”

Fu Jiajin took the stiff paper from Lu Yuan. On it were brush-written words.

“Secrets must not be revealed; fate is beyond control.”

Fu Jiajin waved his hand dismissively as Lu Yuan quickly slipped away. Fu Jiajin stared intently at those ten characters on the paper. His thick eyelashes trembled slightly, his brows knit tightly.

What nonsense was this “Master Kong’er” writing? Asking was like not asking at all.

At home, Fu Suiyu was still waiting for good news. This was certainly not good news. After days of delay, all they had was a scrap of paper.

Fu Jiajin was at a loss for words. It truly was a wild temple—no substance, just some cowardly so-called Master Kong’er who fled too fast to be caught. Worst of all, this Master Kong’er seemed not to belong to modern society; no useful information could be found about him.

Fu Jiajin tossed the paper aside but soon cautiously picked it up again and slipped it into his pocket. Checking the time, he took Jiang Jiujiu to see Fu Suiyu. She was a shield, his own beloved wife—time to make use of her.

Facing his beautiful sister-in-law, this useless older brother hoped he wouldn’t get scolded.

Fu Suiyu took the paper from Fu Jiajin’s hand, scrutinizing every character, but in the end simply put it away.

Fu Jiajin was surprised.

“You’re just... putting it away?”

“What, did you think I’d lecture you?”

Everyone laughed.

Fu Jiahui stood aside, his thoughts increasingly tangled. He now felt a headache whenever he faced Lin Xiange. He dared not approach her, only secretly watching her through the surveillance.

Lost in thought, Fu Suiyu suddenly patted Fu Jiahui.

“Second brother, we’re asking you—can you talk to Sister Lin about being Sister Que’s bridesmaid? Ask her.”

“Wouldn’t it be better if you asked her yourself?”

Upon saying this, Fu Jiahui noticed all three others’ gazes fixed on him. For a moment, he didn’t know what expression to show.

“You’re afraid to see Sister Lin Xiange, aren’t you?”

“Don’t talk nonsense. She’s just a substitute I found. I’m not afraid to see her!”

Jiang Jiujiu propped her chin on her hand, smiling slyly at Fu Jiahui.

“Then why did Ah Yu’er say you haven’t been to the small villa lately? Before, you practically wanted to be there twenty-four hours a day!”

Fu Jiahui pointed at Fu Suiyu.

“That’s because I have to keep an eye on her studying. After all, the college entrance exam is coming soon, and she’s missed so much time!”

“Oh, really?”

“How could it be otherwise?”

Feeling this wasn’t a place to linger, Fu Jiahui left. Hearing laughter behind him, he was thoroughly annoyed.

Jiang Jiujiu pointed in Fu Jiahui’s departing direction, then looked at Fu Suiyu.

“Are you sure? He’ll say it!”

“Don’t worry, he will.”

Fu Suiyu blinked, biting her pink lips softly, gazing at Jiang Jiujiu.

“Sister Que, my mind’s a bit foggy lately, and my memory’s poor. I forgot to tell you—the reason we set the wedding for the end of the year is to prepare for the other arrangements. I don’t want to be too clever. The wedding is the most important moment for a woman...”

Jiang Jiujiu held Fu Suiyu’s hand.

“I don’t blame you. I understand your thoughts. I don’t want to rush marriage either. I want it to be grand. Everything that should be there—I want your brother to give me all of it, or I won’t marry him!”

Both looked at Fu Jiajin in unison.

Fu Jiajin thought to himself: Now it’s turned to me!

“Don’t worry, everything will be as it should.”

Fu Suiyu quickly chimed in, nudging Fu Jiajin’s arm a few times, looking at Jiang Jiujiu.

“If he skips any step, you just don’t marry him!”

Fu Jiajin looked at Fu Suiyu.

“You’re his sister, always stirring up trouble!”

Fu Suiyu pouted.

“See, sister-in-law, he’s threatening me!”

Jiang Jiujiu rolled her eyes at Fu Jiajin.

“Go away, don’t bother us. The sister is so cute; why are you so mean to her?”

Fu Jiajin surrendered.

“Alright, alright, I won’t bother you or taint your eyes. I’m leaving!”

“Sigh~”

Jiang Jiujiu and Fu Suiyu watched Fu Jiajin leave, then exchanged a knowing smile.

Jiang Jiujiu worried about Fu Suiyu.

“Has she been bullying you lately?”

Without naming names, Fu Suiyu knew exactly who she meant.

“No, she hasn’t provoked me. We leave each other alone. For now, it’s peaceful. But if she bullies me, I won’t tolerate it!”

“Anyway, I’ve got nothing to lose—bring it on!”
