On the day of their sixth wedding anniversary, Jiang Ranxing waited for Fu Shenyuan until the restaurant closed.
Upon returning home, she found Fu Shenyuan embracing his first love and their ...
Chapter 328 Leaving Completely
Fu Shenyuan asked nervously, "What do you need a lawyer for?"
Jiang Ranxing said, "We had an agreement: you protect the Wen family's peace, and I'll exchange my shares in the Fu Group for it. You won't go back on your word, will you?"
Fu Shenyuan lowered his eyelids: "If you are talking about the agreement we made, I will keep my word. The Wen family will never suffer any persecution from the Fu family again, so you can rest assured."
"Okay, have your lawyer bring the agreement with him. The condition of the equity transfer agreement is that the transfer is gratuitous and voluntary."
Jiang Ranxing spoke these words without the slightest hesitation, as if the incalculable 10% of the shares were nothing more than an object that could be given away casually.
Fu Shenyuan chuckled silently: "Ranxing, that was a gift from Grandpa to you, I won't take it back."
Jiang Ranxing paused for a moment: "Have you thought it through? With this extra 10%, no other major shareholder can compare to you."
“Even without that 10%, I would still have absolute control. Ranxing, stay. The Fu family owes you, besides—”
Fu Shenyuan released the railing, his hands filled with the cool air, his fingers feeling dry and empty from the wind.
"Besides, if there's only one person who can be my equal, I hope that person is you."
"Don't act rashly. No matter how little I understand, I know how useful these shares are. Aren't you afraid I'll sell them to someone with ulterior motives?"
"Do whatever you want, as long as you feel happy doing it."
Fu Shenyuan was willing to do something like lighting the beacon fires to amuse the feudal lords, just to win a smile from a beauty, but Jiang Ranxing was unwilling to do the same.
Fu Shenyuan's thoughtfulness and the extent of his actions towards her touched her deeply.
"You should have your lawyer come over. The contract is signed. You have your principles, and I have mine. I won't go back on my word. Don't make me a person who breaks their promises."
After sunset, Fu Shenyuan's lawyer still came to the Fu family's old residence.
Two copies of the equity transfer agreement were made. Jiang Ranxing signed her name first. Fu Shenyuan was unwilling, but he didn't want Jiang Ranxing to feel uncomfortable.
With a heavy pen in hand, Fu Shenyuan became the youngest and most deserving leader of the entire Fu family business empire.
The rise of one generation is followed by the fall of another.
The old Fu family mansion was still brightly lit at night, as everyone was preparing for Old Master Fu's funeral.
Jiang Ranxing sat in the courtyard of the old house for a long time. She looked at the time on her watch and realized it was time for her to leave.
The moonlight is beautiful tonight, making one linger under its gentle and tranquil glow.
A jacket was now draped over Jiang Ranxing's shoulder. She turned around just as Fu Shenyuan withdrew his hand.
"Everything is over, I'm going back now."
The words I didn't want to hear, the words I didn't want to accept, still arrived as scheduled.
Fu Shenyuan almost instinctively stopped her: "Don't go."
Why wouldn't she leave? She didn't really have any reason to stay.
"What are your plans after this?" Fu Shenyuan realized that his question was too roundabout, so he asked directly, "Will you leave with Wen Qingrang?"
Jiang Ranxing thought of that gentle and refined person. He should still have a long life ahead of him and more happiness to look forward to.
"This isn't really your concern, so I don't have to answer you."
Fu Shenyuan added, "Stay, Ranxing. I will spend the rest of my life making it up to you and giving you happiness. We and Yiyi can live the happiest life together."
This is what he really wanted to say.
He genuinely wanted to spend his life with Jiang Ranxing; nothing and no one else in the world mattered except her.
I long for her, only her.
Jiang Ranxing simply shook her head quietly: "I'm going back."
"I send you."
"No need, the Fu family still needs you."
"And what about you? You really don't need me anymore, Burning Star?"
“I…” Jiang Ranxing looked up at the night sky, at the bright moon, “Look, the person who truly needs you is like the lonely star next to the moon. Even if the moon temporarily takes away your attention, she is not dimmed in the slightest. She is waiting for the day when you can see her.”
“Fu Shenyuan, go find her. If Lin Xuesha really lied to you, there is an innocent woman waiting for you to go find her and love her. Don’t waste your time on me.”
Fu Shenyuan's eyes instantly reddened, and hot tears fell. A cool breeze blew, and the chill seeped into his heart.
"Burning Star, the time I spent on you was never wasted. I truly, truly love you."
Jiang Ranxing used six years of married life and his feelings from his teenage years to plant a seed called love in the parched land of his heart. He watered it with his heart, and unknowingly, a vibrant oasis has grown.
His world has become colorful, filled with the Holy Spirit, and imbued with beauty and love.
The Creator who created all of this, the God who brought him back to life, no longer wishes to favor him; how could he possibly accept that?
Jiang Ranxing just smiled faintly: "You should love your Xingxing. You can't let her down for saving your life. So many years have passed, maybe she already knows that you mistook Lin Xuesha for her. She must be very sad. If I were to take away the happiness she deserves, I would be a terrible person."
"Fu Shenyuan, please don't turn me into someone you yourself hate, okay?"
That night, the young new generation of the prestigious Fu family, now in power, cried hoarsely for a long, long time in the mourning hall of the previous generation's leader.
Everyone in the old house thought Fu Shenyuan was heartbroken because of his grandfather's death, but they didn't know that he had suffered a blow that no ordinary person could bear on that day: the passing of his beloved grandfather and watching his dearest loved one leave.
The blow to one's heart can destroy a person, and Fu Shenyuan was in a daze under such a heavy blow.
The next time Jiang Ranxing saw Fu Shenyuan was at a press conference featured on the news headlines, where Fu Shenyuan, as the chairman of the Fu Group, was giving a speech.
At that time, Jiang Ranxing was at the Jiang family home, having breakfast with Jiang Yan.
"The Fu family still belongs to Fu Shenyuan. But then again, he is a business genius. Besides him, who else could build a business empire at this age without anyone daring to object?"
Jiang Ranxing simply watched the video on the screen without making any reaction.
"Little Star? Little Star, are you listening to me?"
"Huh? What did you say, brother?" Jiang Ranxing finally realized what was happening.
Jiang Yan put down his knife and fork, looked at her and said, "I just asked if you had your visa for R country ready."
"Oh, it's done. I haven't picked it up yet."
"Alright, there's no time to lose, I'll get someone to send you abroad as soon as possible."
Jiang Ranxing paused for a moment, then nodded.
Jiang Yan's men acted swiftly; the date for Jiang Ranxing's departure abroad had already been set, and Jiang Ranxing headed to the airport under heavy guard.
The office of the chairman of the Fu Group.
Fu Shenyuan had never seen Tan Shen enter without knocking and in such a flustered manner.
Suddenly, Fu Shenyuan also panicked.
If Tan Shen did this, then there's only one possibility.
"Mr. Fu, your wife... she's being sent to R country by Mr. Jiang. It's said that R country has extremely strict controls now, and once you enter, you won't be able to leave without special approval!"
Fu Shenyuan suddenly stood up, knocking over the teacup beside him. The scalding tea soaked the signature on the 300 million yuan contract on the table.
But Fu Shenyuan didn't care at all.
He only cared about one thing: Jiang Ranxing was leaving, leaving him for good.
