Roes Wine

The sound of the pendulum clock echoed in the living room, where three people sat at a long antique wooden dining table. The chandelier hanging from the ceiling cast a warm yellow light, highlighting the girl sitting alone in the middle. She was stunningly beautiful. Fu Anna looked at the dense data sheets in front of her, still unable to believe it. She turned to her parents sitting across from her. “So, are we really going bankrupt?” she asked. The couple sitting opposite her looked well-maintained. The woman had no signs of aging on her face, only a noble aura. The man wore a suit and tie, and had a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He looked dignified and amiable. They sat upright, and Fu’s mother, Mrs. Su Caifu, took a sip of tea from a delicate porcelain cup. “Yes, we are. Why would I lie to you?” she said calmly. Fu Anna had been asked countless hypothetical questions in her life, but none of them was, what would you do if one day your family went bankrupt? Fu Anna scanned the data sheets again. “What if I become a star?” she suggested, leaning back in her chair. Fu Anna looked at her dad, who shook his head with a smile, indicating that he didn’t agree. So she looked at her mom again. Fu’s mother seemed unfazed, as if she had expected her to say that. She didn’t show any surprise, and spoke in an even tone. “Oh, really? Then let me guess. Is your star path going to be debut in the morning, scandal in the noon, and retirement in the evening?” Fu Anna was speechless. If you don’t agree, just say so. Why do you have to attack me personally? But how could she just watch her family fall apart? Wait, that’s not right. They were not falling apart, they were going from rich to debt-ridden. How was that falling apart? On second thought, going from rich to debt-ridden was worse than falling apart. Seeing his daughter lost in thought, Fu’s father glanced at Fu’s mother, and they exchanged a look. Then Fu’s mother cleared her throat and said, “Anna, you want to do something for our family, right?” Seeing that Fu Anna really believed them, she carefully took out a photo and pushed it under Fu Anna’s eyes. Fu Anna looked up at her mother in confusion. “Mom, who is this?” she asked. “This is Xiao Jing. You can see that he’s handsome, and he’s also educated and cultured, polite and elegant. He’s nothing like you, who don’t know anything but being a spoiled rich kid. If you really want to help your parents, all you have to do is get him to like you, and then you’ll have everything.” Mrs. Su said. “Mom, if you want to praise someone, just praise them. Don’t step on one and lift another.” Fu Anna said. She picked up the photo and took a look. The man in the photo had a cold and abstinent face, as if he was indifferent to women. “But I’m an independent woman of the new era, mom. How can I chase a man for money?” Fu Anna said. Mrs. Su took another sip of tea gracefully, prepared for this argument. “Hmm, okay then. Independent woman. Then you figure out how to pay back 30 billion within a year.” She said. How much? 30 billion? Fu Anna decided to be temporarily dependent for a while. Mrs. Su gave her the final push. “Anna, I know this might be hard for you, so I’m not asking you to develop anything serious towards him. Just be friends with him and talk to him…” “What’s so hard about that?” Fu Anna said casually as she put the photo in her bag. “Mom, this is the only thing I’m good at.” Fu’s mother smiled at her daughter. “Xiao Jing is different from those boys who only care about appearances that you’ve met before. Your usual tricks won’t work on him.” She said. After Fu and Anna left their sight completely, Fu’s father finally asked Fu’s mother with some concern. “Caifu, are you sure this will work? What if Anna finds out we’re lying to her?” “Lying to her? So what? If we don’t lie to her that we’re going bankrupt, would she be willing to get in touch with a good boy like Xiao Jing?” Mrs. Su said. “I regret that I didn’t think of this idea sooner, and let the two kids meet earlier.” Fu Anna, the only daughter of the Fu family, was a spoiled rich girl who grew up under the pampering of her parents. In the heart of the capital city, where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, the traffic was busy and noisy. The cold and exhaust fumes of the modern city were exchanged, and the green belts on both sides were the last natural embellishments of a city full of skyscrapers. A black SUV drove on the road, and the horns sounded one after another as the green light was about to end. The red light came on, and the black SUV stopped at the intersection. Fu Anna took out her phone and flipped through the page of information that her best friend had sent her. She saw only a A few words about it, and she called her best friend with doubts. “Qin Zhengyang, I asked you to check someone out, and is that all you got?” She said as soon as the phone was connected. She looked at the few words on the page. “And is this called information? I’m not asking for contact details or anything, but at least you should have some basic stuff like name, height, age, zodiac sign, right?” “Young lady, this is not because I don’t want to give you more, it’s because there is nothing more.” A young man’s voice came from the other end of the phone. “I can’t find anything about the person you want me to find. All I know is that outsiders call him Mr. Jing. Nothing else can be found. Why don’t you just go to his company and see him yourself?” He said. The company name was written there. JR, in the east district. “But JR’s core team is very low-key. Not many people in the circle know about them. What do you want with him?” Qin Zhengyang asked curiously. “Date him.” Fu Anna said casually and hung up. The road to the east district was not far, but it was congested. This area had some problems when it was planned, so later when it was used, plus the large flow of people, it often got stuck in traffic. By the time Fu Anna drove to JR’s building, it was already eight o’clock in the evening. She wasn’t sure if she could still find the person she was looking for. The SUV entered the underground garage. The dazzling lights lit up the dark garage and then went out completely. The garage was winding and spacious. She didn’t remember how many turns she had. made. When she saw that there was another turn ahead, Fu Anna couldn’t help it. She forgot what her driving instructor had taught her when she took her driving test. She stepped on the gas pedal and Go straight ahead. At the corner, a pair of alternating high and low beams suddenly lit up. Fu Anna was startled and then turned the steering wheel and stepped on the brake. A harsh scraping sound rang out. She pulled at her seat belt and then opened the door and got out of the car. She saw that one part of her car had already dented and peeled off paint. Fu Anna’s mind flashed with her dad’s kind face and cheerful tone. “Anna, do you know what this is?” Fu’s father patted the hood of his car. “This SUV is your dad’s son!” She thought for a moment and wondered if she could tell him that she had given his son a scar as an excuse. Fu Anna turned around and looked at the car she had scratched. The smooth lines and low-key luxury black paint made her wonder if she was lucky or unlucky. “Knock knock—” The window was lightly tapped, and slowly lowered. Fu Anna raised a smile. “I’m sorry for scratching your car, sir…” Her voice suddenly stopped. The man’s face was facing Fu Anna. His cold and sharp jawline, his abstinent expression, his thin lips were all very similar to that blurry photo. Fu Anna’s eyes followed his jawline down slowly, noticing his prominent Adam’s apple and his crisp shirt collar. He wore a suit style that was not very common in China, with a buttoned vest underneath, outlining his body shape. He was not skinny or muscular, but he was just like the one Fu Anna had chosen. in that anime, the picture about “which of these 16 body types do you like best”? The man turned his head slightly to listen to her speak, revealing his full face to her. His coldness and abstinence clashed with a different kind of wildness in him. His eyes were sharp and indifferent, clearly rejecting everyone else, but also making people want to know more about him. Fu Anna didn’t notice that the atmosphere in the car was a bit strange. She tucked her hair behind her ears, and her almond eyes seemed to be filled with water. Her pupils were very light, her face porcelain white and smooth, almost flawless. She cleared her throat softly, and when she spoke again, her voice was even softer, sweeter. “I’m really sorry for scratching your car. Could you please give me your contact information so we Can we discuss the compensation later?” After she finished speaking, the person next to the man leaned forward to say something, and that excellent side face appeared in front of her again. Fu Anna felt the cold air from the car, and besides that, there was another smell mixed in it. The spicy sandalwood and leather clashed together, domineering and distant, just like him. His wildness and restraint conflicted with each other, making you feel dangerous but also wanting to rely on and trust him. After a while, the person on the side of the car sat back in his seat, and he moved his hand, revealing a wrist with a Buddhist bead bracelet. He took out a black card with a gold stamp and clipped it between his fingers and handed it to her. “Find him.” His low and magnetic voice sounded, along with the window slowly rising. Until Fu Anna’s whole face was reflected in the black glass, the car drove past her. She realized that no one had gotten out of the car during the whole process, not even the driver. Was she some kind of monster? Fu Anna picked up the card in her hand. A pair of crossed eagle wings with a knight’s sword stamped in gold on one side. She flipped the card over, paused for a second, and then crumpled the gold-stamped card into a ball and threw it on the ground. She stepped on it when she got in the car. She opened the door and sat down, calmed down, and sent a message to Qin Zhengyang. [Anna: I met him. (Smile.jpg.)] Then she didn’t wait for Qin Zhengyang to reply, and called her mom. “Hey, mom? I’ve been kidn*pped. They want 300,000 ransom, or they’ll kill me.” Mrs. Su replied perfunctorily. “Uh huh, okay. Let them kill you. We’re going bankrupt. We have no money.” Then she hung up. Fu Anna was speechless. She didn’t give up, and called her dad. “Hey, dad? I’ve been kidn*pped. They want 300,000 ransom, or they’ll kill me.” There was silence at the other end of the phone. Fu Anna was silent too. After a while, Fu’s father’s voice sounded. “Anna, what trouble have you gotten yourself into this time?” Fu Anna said quietly. “Dad, you really know me.” Fu’s father said. “After all, dad really finds it hard to believe that anyone would dare to kidnap you.” Fu Anna didn’t like that. “Dad, what kind of thing is that to say? What do you mean who would dare to kidnap me? I’m so weak, so beautiful, we still have money at home. Oh wait, we’re supposed to be going bankrupt… But that still falls within the range of these criminals! Why can’t I be kidn*pped?” Fu’s father listened with a cold face. “You said so much nonsense last time when you wanted money too. Was that when you lost two million gambling in Las Vegas?” Fu Anna shut up. He said, “Tell me, what did you do this time?” Fu Anna looked at the scratched car in front of her. “I scratched your car.” Fu’s father sighed with relief. “You want money for this? That’s not too bad. Are you okay?” She was sure her dad didn’t know which car she had taken in. She hung up on Fu’s father’s phone, and saw Qin Zhengyang’s message sent ten minutes ago. [Qin Zhengyang: What’s with that expression? He’s not handsome?] Fu Anna chuckled and typed quickly. [Anna: Let’s talk when we meet. I have to fix the car first.]
