"In that case, because we don't have enough people in the Southern Courtyard, we currently lack someone to clear the weeds. If Assistant Zhang doesn’t mind, can you help us get rid of them?" Fu Zhaoxiang's tone was still gentle and refined, but when he spoke, he only cared about whether Qiu Xingmi was happy or not, not even looking at Assistant Zhang.
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.
