Chapter 143 Unrealistic Desires

Fu's mother's words immediately put Wenshu on guard. She put on a hurt expression and asked, "Auntie, why did you say that?"

Mother Fu couldn't stand the way the clerk acted. She said with annoyance, "Alright, stop pretending. There's no one else here. Your act won't work on me."

No wife would appreciate such petty behavior; such methods were too low-class. She had seen plenty of such behavior from Fu's father's other women before.

The clerk choked on her words. She realized this wasn't one of those men, and no one was watching her performance. After a moment of silence, she said:

“Auntie, I don’t know why you say that, but the child in my belly is definitely Professor Fu’s.”

She's not stupid; if she weren't a child of the Fu family, how would she dare to climb up to them?

She was the one who fathered the child, and she was more certain of the child's father than anyone else.

Madam Fu glanced at her and said coldly, "It had better be that way."

She no longer doubted the child in Wenshu's belly; with technology so advanced these days, Wenshu wouldn't dare lie.

The child belongs to the Fu family, but only she knows how she got the child.

My son really lacks experience; he was actually manipulated by someone like the clerk.

Suppressing her anger, Madam Fu got down to business: "You've been in the Pei family for many years, so you should know about their affairs."

Hearing this, the clerk finally understood why Madam Fu had come to see her. It turned out she wanted to know about Pei Jiuyan, which was exactly what Madam Fu wanted. She pretended to be hesitant and asked, "What do you want to know?"

"Don't give me that. Shangluo has already told me that you've offended Pei Jiuyan, and he won't tolerate you. You only have one option left now: tell me about Pei Jiuyan's shady dealings. Only after Pei Jiuyan is gone will you have a free life."

An ordinary person might have been fooled by Fu's mother's words, but Wenshu was no ordinary person. She was much more resilient than others and had seen far more than anyone else. She wouldn't blurt out everything just because Fu's mother made empty promises.

She thought for a moment and said, "All I know is that he has many businesses not only in China, but also abroad."

Foreign systems differ from those in China, leaving considerable room for maneuver in certain areas, which is why many people operate in this way.

This was clearly not what Madam Fu wanted to hear, and the clerk took the opportunity to mention Jiang Yi.

"All I know is that this person previously collaborated with Pei Jiuyan, but I don't know the specifics of their collaboration."

"Jiang Yi?"

Upon hearing the name, a thoughtful look appeared in Madam Fu's eyes.

"Yes, Jiang Yi, he also came when Professor Fu and I got engaged."

Seeing that Madam Fu was looking at him, Wenshu quickly said, "He didn't come to see me. He probably took the opportunity to meet Pei Jiuyan."

“Pei Jiuyan is always very cautious in his actions. There are many things I don’t know, but I’ve seen him contact Jiang Yi many times. I was abroad at that time.”

She said, half-jokingly, that she knew Fu's mother would definitely investigate, and that was the least of her worries, because what she found would only be the same as what she said.

Next, the document writer said some unimportant things, and only then did Madam Fu let her leave.

Before leaving, Madam Fu warned, "Now that you're engaged to Shang Luo, keep those little schemes to yourself. I don't care what you've done in the past, but now that you're involved with the Fu family, you should cut off all those messy relationships."

"If I find out you're still having an affair..."

Madam Fu didn't finish her sentence, but the warning was clear, and she also slapped the document clerk hard. Madam Fu was almost saying that she had a decadent private life in the past.

"Don't worry, Auntie, it won't happen."

The clerk said with a sense of frustration, telling herself that she had to be patient. She had nothing now but the child in her womb as her only support.

Jiang Yi was right about one thing: she couldn't continue like this. She needed to earn the right to challenge others; only then could she be respected.

After they finished talking, Fu Shangluo and his father came downstairs. Both of them looked rather grim, especially Fu Shangluo.

Just now in the study, Father Fu gave him a severe scolding without any politeness, showing him no respect whatsoever.

Moreover, this incident has blown up too much, and it's no longer appropriate for him to remain in that position. His father's idea was for him to go to another place for two years to gain experience, but he disagreed.

Two years is too long; nobody knows what it will be like when we come back.

Now that Pei Jiuyan has already moved in, it will be too late by the time he returns.

At first, Mr. Fu patiently analyzed the current situation with him, but he was unyielding, and Mr. Fu got angry, so the father and son parted on bad terms.

Fu Shangluo didn't want to stay at home any longer, so he simply took the documents and left first.

Seeing this, Mr. Fu was even more furious: "Look at him! Look at him!"

Mr. Fu didn't know how his son had become like this; it was as if his rebellious phase had come late.

The problems that had been building up over the years are finally coming to a head now.

Throughout the journey, the document reader kept looking at Fu Shangluo. However, after only half a month apart, she felt that Fu Shangluo had completely changed.

He used to be a refined scholar, but now he gives off a gloomy vibe.

Fu Shangluo remained silent until they returned home, at which point he coldly looked at Wenshu and asked, "How did you get this child?"

He wasn't stupid; after his mother explained the situation to him, he realized he had been tricked.

He had no relationship with the clerk at all; it was the clerk who got pregnant through dishonest means.

The clerk was startled, but she denied it aloud. Even if Fu Shangluo had evidence, she wouldn't admit it.

“I really don’t know why you think this way, your mother and you.”

"Scheme? How did I scheme? Did I contact you first? Did I ask you to drink? Did I take you to the hotel?"

The clerk questioned her, looking as if she had been utterly wronged.

She knew this trick wouldn't work on someone like Fu's mother, but it was incredibly effective on men. Over the years, with the exception of Pei Jiuyan, it had always worked on other men.

Sure enough, Fu Shangluo's anger subsided somewhat, but he was not fooled by her. He only said one sentence: "Writing, don't try anything funny with me. You should know that we have always been in a cooperative relationship."

Upon hearing this, the clerk said sarcastically, "Professor Fu, I know you are keeping yourself pure for Yun Zhaozhao. Don't worry, I won't have any improper thoughts."
