Chapter 85 Jealousy: Win Back the Wife You Want to Marry
Xiao Yan's words successfully enraged Huo Jialingling. Her expression shifted rapidly, and after a long while, she finally spoke with a ferocious look on her face.
"Even if you, Xiao Yan, have the Morgan Group backing you up, isn't the woman you found still second-hand? What's so impressive about you? I may not be as young or as beautiful as her, but I've given birth to two sons. Can she do that?"
Her words did not anger Gu Mingxia; instead, they deepened the smile on her lips. She gracefully touched her earlobe, her eyes turning into crescent moons with her smile.
"Madam Huo is right. You have given birth to two sons, but what's the use of having more if they are not capable of anything?"
Huo Jialing's face turned cold. Indeed, the Jackie Chan and Jackie Hu brothers were not as successful as other people's sons. Apart from causing trouble for her all day long, they had hardly done anything to bring her any honor.
"You... Gu Mingxia, don't be so smug!"
"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint Madam Huo. As long as I, Fu Heng, am around, Gu Mingxia will be smug for a very, very long time!"
Before Gu Mingxia and Xiao Yan could speak, Fu Heng, who had just arrived, said something with a smile and refined manner. The way he looked at Gu Mingxia was so gentle that it could melt spring water.
"Mingxia, don't worry, as long as I'm here, absolutely no one in Xiangcheng will dare to go against you! You should know that going against you is going against me, Fu Heng, and the entire Fu family!"
As Fu Heng spoke, his eyes were fixed on Bai Zixuan and Huo Jialingling, while the four Fu brothers standing behind him smiled and watched the two of them in a cooperative manner.
Suddenly becoming the center of attention, Bai Zixuan felt very uneasy. He, Gu Mingxia, and Bai Zixuan were all classmates. Back then, he snatched Gu Mingxia from Fu Hang's hands, and for so many years he dared not see him, fearing Fu Heng's terrifying retaliation. But unexpectedly, after their marriage, Fu Heng disappeared in Xiangcheng, and now that Gu Mingxia had just divorced, he appeared. It was clear that he was truly...deeply in love with Gu Mingxia!
"Thank you, President Heng, but I, Xiao Yan, will naturally take care of my woman. There's no need for others to worry about her!"
Xiao Yan deliberately emphasized the word "taken" by others. Fu Heng was not angry when he heard this. Instead, he gave Gu Mingxia a deep look. However, after receiving his gaze, the latter turned her eyes away.
"Gu Mingxia, I didn't expect you to be so good at seducing men! It hasn't been long since your divorce, and you've already hooked up with two men. It seems I really misjudged you before!"
For some reason, Bai Zixuan felt a surge of intense emotion, and he looked at Gu Mingxia with great resentment. After their marriage, she had never dressed up like this for herself, but after the divorce, every time he saw her, she was radiant; she could attract everyone's attention simply by standing there quietly.
Looking at himself, he spends all his time with different women, but he can't really take any of them out in public. Ye Xiaorou at home is a former beer girl, while Huo Jialingling beside him is a widow in her forties who has lost her husband.
The men surrounding Gu Mingxia were all extremely wealthy men like Xiao Yan and Fu Heng. Unconsciously, Bai Zixuan took Huo Jialingling's arm off him and even took a few steps back.
"Isn't Mr. Bai just as unpredictable? A CEO turned into a shrew after his divorce!"
The one who spoke was Fu Bo, the fourth young master of the Fu family, who was standing behind Fu Heng. He was always closer to his third brother, so when he saw the person his third brother wanted to protect being ridiculed, he naturally had to speak up to help!
"Hmph, Zixuan, let's go, don't waste our breath on these people!"
Huo Jialingling was completely oblivious to Bai Zixuan's deliberate attempt to distance himself from her. She stepped back to his side and took his arm again, looking up at Gu Mingxia with haughty arrogance.
"Zixuan would never love a woman like you who is of no help to him. Only a woman like me, who can help him in his career, deserves to be with him!"
Gu Mingxia felt a strange sense of disgust, but she still maintained an elegant smile.
"Mrs. Huo has a good eye. Indeed, a man who is willing to live off a woman may not be good at his career, but he is always exceptionally outstanding in other aspects!"
As she spoke, Gu Mingxia's gaze kept drifting down to Bai Zixuan's waistband, a gesture that deepened the smiles on the faces of the Fu brothers. Finally, the fifth young master of the Fu family, Fu Ya, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Sister-in-law, you can just say that men who live off women are good in bed. There's no need to look down their pants while saying it. It's really unnecessary!"
"You... Humph!"
Bai Zixuan wanted to say something, but when he saw Director Ye and his wife come out together, he immediately abandoned the people around him and hurriedly led Huo Jialingling over.
"Xiaxia, I have to say, you had terrible taste back then! Even choosing this annoying Fu Heng would have been better than this man!"
Xiao Yan leaned down and whispered something in Gu Mingxia's ear. Although his voice wasn't loud, he wasn't trying to hide it from others. Fu Heng glared at Xiao Yan unhappily upon hearing this. How could such a scumbag be compared to him? To compare him to Bai Zixuan was simply lowering his standards!
"Yeah, I've always had a bad eye for men!"
After Gu Mingxia finished speaking, she released Xiao Yan's arm and walked towards where Liu Yan was.
“Indeed, your taste in men is rather… poor!” After saying this, Xiao Yan realized that Gu Mingxia’s words about poor men included him, so he immediately went over to her. “Gu Mingxia, explain yourself! What’s wrong with me? I’m definitely better than your scumbag ex-husband!”
Watching Xiao Yan stand beside Gu Mingxia, occasionally pulling her shawl up her shoulders, and Gu Mingxia always looking up at him with a gentle smile, the love in her eyes clearly making Fu Heng unable to suppress his jealousy.
"President Heng, you have a long way to go and a heavy responsibility to bear!"
Fu Bo patted Fu Heng on the shoulder, then chose a crowded spot to cultivate relationships. Fu Ya also came over and patted his other shoulder, sighing regretfully.
"Third Brother, your rival in love is quite formidable! What's worse, the woman you like doesn't seem interested in you at all. Look, since we came in, she hasn't even given you a second glance!"
Fu Heng gave her a cold look, and Fu Ya felt like she was about to be frozen, so she quickly stuck out her tongue.
"Okay! That's all for now, I'm going over there to have a drink!"
Fu Rong and Fu Feng stood beside him, handing him a glass of red wine, but their eyes were fixed on Gu Mingxia, who was smiling brightly. They saw her and Liu Yan talking quietly with their heads down, their eyes occasionally glancing at Xiao Yan, who was talking to others.
"Seven years ago, you came back and told Mom you had a girlfriend. That girl was Gu Mingxia, right?"
Fu Heng has never taken the initiative to protect any woman. Even though he was surrounded by beautiful women before, he never showed any special treatment to any of them. But Gu Mingxia has clearly become Fu Heng's biggest weakness. He completely protects her.
"Yes, she had just agreed to be my girlfriend at that time. My father asked me to come back because of a crisis in the company. I didn't expect that... by the time I finished dealing with things and rushed back to Switzerland, she had already become Bai Zixuan's fiancée."
Fu Heng revealed the deepest secret he had kept hidden in his heart, a secret he had never told anyone in his family. But seeing Gu Mingxia looking at Xiao Yan with such loving eyes today, Fu Heng was suddenly consumed by jealousy. If he hadn't returned to China back then, Gu Mingxia would be looking at him with such affectionate eyes right now!
Didn't you ask her why?
Fu Feng looked at Gu Mingxia with some regret. She was almost his third brother's wife. But feelings and marriage could have turned out completely differently. It was clear that Fu Heng still harbored resentment about losing Gu Mingxia.
That's why he chose to be stationed at the New York headquarters seven years ago, only returning after hearing the news of Gu Mingxia's divorce. The Fu family has always owed this talented son a fulfilling relationship.
“When I returned to school and saw her sitting in a rocking chair with Bai Zixuan watching the sunset, I saw a happy and pure smile on her face. In that instant, I suddenly realized that I had never seen such a clean and pure smile on her face before. I thought, if she can live such an easy and simple life after marrying Bai Zixuan, why should I drag her into a complicated world? So, I left school and flew to the headquarters in New York. Not long after, I received news that she had been expelled from the Gu family for marrying Bai Zixuan.”
Fu Heng had a bitter smile on his lips. Just how deep was her love for Bai Zixuan that she was willing to leave her family and marry into the Bai family alone for him?
Fu Rong and Fu Feng exchanged a glance. Neither of them expected that the usually ruthless Fu Heng harbored such a deep and affectionate past. Fu Rong thought for a moment and patted him on the shoulder.
"Now that they're divorced, Third Brother, go and win her back. Don't worry, the entire Fu family supports you! From now on, the company's affairs will be handled by the four of us. You only need to do one thing: do everything in your power to get your wife back!"
"Do you think I don't want to? I do want to compete fairly with Xiao Yan, but even if we compete fairly, what good will it do? Mingxia's heart is clearly with Xiao Yan. You may not know, but she and Xiao Yan grew up together, from age eight to twenty-one. The year she agreed to be my girlfriend was the same year Xiao Yan disappeared. Perhaps, in her heart, I'm just a life preserver! Do you think someone like me has the right to demand fair competition?"
"Tch, so what if you grew up together? Third brother, even married couples get divorced! You're both single now, so go all out and win back the wife you want to marry!"
"Yes, win back the wife you want to marry!"
