Chapter 1231: I’m Not Afraid Of You

Pei Rong paused briefly. He had always wanted to get into Deputy Chairman Qin’s inner circle, but Deputy Chairman Qin could not be bothered with him. Even though he had offered to lend Deputy Chairman Qin his family’s ancient medical texts, all he got out of Deputy Chairman Qin was a thank you.

Pei Rong gathered his thoughts and nodded. “I don’t know that much about her either.”

“Don’t worry about it.” Fu Cheng squeezed his phone in his pocket as he pondered.

Before long , Fu Cheng brought Pei Rong into Deputy Chairman Qin’s office. Fu Cheng told Deputy Chairman Qin that Pei Rong had intel about Huo Yao before leaving.

When Fu Cheng got downstairs, he ran into Fu Ya before he had even stepped out of the hall. She was on her way into the association and was in a huge hurry.

“Is it over?” asked Fu Ya the moment she saw him. Since she was anxious, she was speaking quickly.

The moment Fu Cheng saw Fu Ya, he felt annoyed. He disregarded her question and grabbed her by the arm tightly and dragged her out of the hall.

Fu Ya tightened her fists as he dragged her off before wresting her hand free.

Fu Cheng paid no attention to her reaction. He simply stared at Fu Ya coldly. “You traitor. You deliberately sabotaged me. What are you going to get out of it? I don’t understand.”

Fu Ya was not present in the hall, but the moment she received a text message from Huo Yao, she had an inkling about what happened. She was unsurprised that Fu Cheng would question her.

Fu Ya scoffed and said, “You are hilarious. Did I tell you to cheat during the exam? Why didn’t you think about the consequences when you decided to cheat?”

Fu Cheng laughed angrily. “This is different. You know this exam meant a lot to me. How could you get me into…”

Fu Ya did not want to waste time talking to Fu Cheng. She was not here to see him anyway. She raised her hand and interrupted. “Enough. You asked for it. It is nobody’s fault but your own. I know that the maker of the medicinal pills came over. Is she still around?”

Her work place was some distance from the association and there was a traffic jam on the way here, so it took her some time to get here.

Fu Cheng kept blaming Fu Ya for getting him into trouble, but she did not give a hoot about his predicament. Instead, she kept asking about Huo Yao. It was the last straw on the camel’s back. He raised his hand and wanted to slap her. “You ingrate!”

Fu Cheng slapped her hard without holding back the slightest. Fu Ya narrowed her eyes as his hand came toward her. Just as it was about to land on her face, she grabbed Fu Cheng by the wrist and held it even harder.

In an instant, Fu Cheng was caught by surprise and staggered by a step as a sharp pain came from his wrist. It was so painful that he instinctively arched his back as he looked into Fu Ya’s cold eyes.

They were so cold that they sent chills down Fu Cheng’s spine.

Fu Cheng was startled by her reaction. It was the first time his cousin had ever retaliated so strongly that he could not help feeling threatened.

“I did not take things to heart all these years, but it doesn’t mean I’m afraid of you, got it?” said Fu Ya softly.

Fu Cheng trembled involuntarily and was unable to respond.

Fu Ya pursed her lips. Someone was coming over, so she quickly let go of Fu Cheng’s wrist. She straightened the scarf on her neck unhurriedly and went back to normal. She even smiled and nodded at the person walking past them.

Moments later, Fu Cheng finally snapped out of his shock.

Fu Ya veered her eyes after the person had left. She turned to look at Fu Cheng. “Now can you answer my question?”
