Chapter 201 You've got your eye on her, right?
Fu Chenzhou pursed his lips, his taut jawline a testament to his desperate attempt to control his emotions.
A married woman?!
Fu Chong and Fu Ling perked up after hearing this. Fu Chong swirled his wine glass and chuckled lightly:
"Oh my, the third son has brought you quite a few surprises this time he came back to Beijing. Not only has he given you a grandson, but you don't even have to worry about his marriage."
Fu Ling chuckled, "What Big Brother says is true. But Third Brother, do you think the husband of the woman you've taken a fancy to is willing to give up his wife for you?"
"Besides, even if we gave it to you, you would be a disgrace to the Fu family. Even though you have a child now and aren't among the heirs of the Fu family, you are still considered a member of the Fu family. You can't possibly marry someone else's used goods, can you? Aren't you slapping Father in the face?"
Seeing Fu Lixian's increasingly grim expression, Han Xiangyi's heart pounded, and she hurriedly explained on Fu Chenzhou's behalf:
"Li Xian, please don't misunderstand, it's not what you think!"
Fu Lixian glanced at her coldly, "Didn't you tell me that Ah Chen and Xie Jinghuai's wife were having an affair? How come it's a misunderstanding now?"
Fu Yansi's forehead instantly broke out in a cold sweat, and he looked up at his father with worry.
Fu Chong squinted his cold, sharp eyes and leisurely sipped his red wine.
Eyes never lie, especially when it's a five-year-old child.
It seems there really is something fishy going on between Fu Chen and Xie Jinghuai's wife.
"Huh? With Xie Jinghuai's wife?!"
Fu Ling was most interested in this kind of vulgar gossip about wealthy families, and couldn't help but ask, "Who is it? The daughter of the chairman of Yuntu Oriental Technology? Is it that Lin?"
Fu Chenzhou raised his eyes with a cool and distant look, his five fingers gripping the cup as if they were about to pierce through the skin.
"Tsk, the third brother has good taste. Although the Lin family is a small family and can't compare to our Fu family, they are still a wealthy family. She is also very pretty. Most importantly, I heard from people in the industry that she is a talented woman with great achievements in artificial intelligence. After graduating from a prestigious foreign university, she didn't join her own company but went straight to Xie's Group and became a senior executive."
Upon hearing the words "artificial intelligence," Fu Lixian's brow twitched slightly.
Both the Fu and Xie families are now transforming into high-end technology sectors, including new energy vehicles, smart chips, and AI humanoid robots. They are also venturing into these areas and have been competing with the Xie family for resources and talent.
So when he learned that the woman who had an ambiguous relationship with Fu Chenzhou actually possessed such talent, he couldn't help but feel curious. He also felt a dark jealousy that the Xie family had such a daughter-in-law.
Just like when he was young, he was extremely jealous of Xie Jinghuai's father, Xie Changyue.
Fu Ling glanced disdainfully at Fu Chenzhou's handsome face and continued singing:
"However, this Miss Lin is so outstanding, and she is Xie Jinghuai's woman. Third brother, you've interfered, and you even have a child with you. She might not be willing to be with you, right? If it were me, I wouldn't do it, unless I'm crazy."
The sarcasm was sharp, without profanity, but the insults were still quite harsh.
Their father favored the two siblings, and no matter how much he bullied Fu Chen, he wouldn't care.
As for Han Xiangyi...
Pshaw, that lowly woman who used a sperm donor to climb the social ladder. No one in the Fu family has ever treated her like a human being.
Sure enough, Han Xiangyi's face turned pale inch by inch, and her slender hands, resting on her knees, were clenched tightly.
However, he did not refute Fu Ling at all.
She wouldn't dare.
"Xie Jinghuai's wife isn't that Lin woman," Fu Chong suddenly said lazily.
Fu Ling was surprised, "Huh? No? Then Lin Zhixin and Xie Jinghuai..."
"Just a lover."
Fu Chong's lips curled into a playful smile. "I heard that Xie Jinghuai's wife is also a young lady from the Lin family. However, Xie Jinghuai probably thinks she is shameful, so he never appears in the same frame as her or introduces her to others."
She probably wasn't well-liked by the Xie and Lin families either, right? I've met Lin Chengchou, the chairman of Yuntu, a few times at events. Every time, he praised his youngest daughter highly, but never mentioned his other daughter.
Third brother, you haven't set your sights on her, have you?
Fu Chenzhou stared intently at Fu Chong's arrogant and flamboyant face with dark, unwavering eyes, a certain emotion surging within him, overwhelming him.
Fu Ling chuckled and muttered, "If it really is her, I must say, they're quite a good match."
"How could that be! How could Ah Chen fall for such a worthless woman?! Li Xian, I was overthinking it before. Ah Chen has absolutely no designs on Xie Jinghuai's wife. They've only met a few times."
At this point, Han Xiangyi started to defend her son. After all, she knew very well that Fu Lixian valued the Fu family's reputation and even more so, business marriages. All the children in the Fu family were pawns for him to win over the powerful and wealthy and to strengthen the Fu family. Without exception, they were all pawns.
If Fu Chenzhou gets entangled with a woman like that, Fu Lixian will only despise him even more.
Then her son would truly have no place to stand in the Fu family!
"If that's the case, then that would be best."
Fu Lixian snorted coldly, her eyes full of disdain, "Achen, even if that kind of woman wasn't Xie Jinghuai's wife, she would never be allowed to enter the Fu family."
From this day forward, I don't want to hear any more gossip about you and that woman. If you don't consider yourself a member of the Fu family, and you don't acknowledge me as your father, then pretend I said nothing tonight!
...
A simple birthday dinner ended abruptly in a somber and discordant atmosphere.
Tonight is Fu Chenzhou's first time returning to the Fu family in recent years, a kind of debut, in order to leave a good impression on Fu Lixian.
Therefore, no matter how much anger he suppressed in his heart, even though his palms were pierced by his fingertips and bleeding, he did not show it at all.
If he can't even hide his joy or anger, and can't control his emotions, then he doesn't deserve to come back and compete with the Fu siblings.
Fu Chenzhou led his son by the hand into the living room, where Xing Zhen greeted them.
"Mr. Fu, are you... alright?" Xing Zhen couldn't help but worry when she saw his dark expression.
Fu Chenzhou looked preoccupied. "It's nothing."
"Third brother."
Fu Chenzhou frowned and turned around stiffly.
Fu Chong held a cigarette in his left hand and ran his right fingers through his hair, sweeping his bangs upward to create a slicked-back hairstyle.
Fu Chenzhou's gaze was icy, and he lowered his head. "Take Banban to the car and wait for me."
Xing Zhen nodded worriedly and led Fu Yansi to the car to wait.
Fu Chong, with his nonchalant demeanor, stood in front of Fu Chenzhou, took a deep drag on his cigarette, and his cheeks became sunken.
"Isn't he already the president of Lighttrack Ventures? Why is he coming back?"
Fu Chenzhou raised an eyebrow. "What does it matter to me that I'm the president of a certain company or that I'm coming back?"
"Fine, do as you please, but third brother, I have to remind you of something."
Fu Chong exhaled a cloud of white mist at him, his expression wicked and nonchalant, "Everything in the Fu family belongs to me."
You know my style of doing things. Anyone who tries to take from me or touch my things, I'll make sure they suffer a terrible fate.
"Yeah."
Through the hazy light, the man's peach blossom eyes shone brightly like stars. "How ugly can it be? I'd love to see."
Damn it! You little bastard!
Fu Chong cursed inwardly, but he was no longer a child, and it would be unbecoming of an heir to resort to cursing at the drop of a hat.
So he stepped forward, tossed the cigarette butt onto the expensive carpet, and rubbed it with the tip of his shoe.
"Third brother, is it fun to have someone else's wife?"
Fu Chenzhou's chest, hidden beneath his suit jacket, rose and fell slightly. His voice remained calm. "What do you mean?"
"I've slept with countless women, but I've never tried sleeping with a young woman with a child."
Fu Chong, with his hands in his trouser pockets, kicked the extinguished cigarette butt at his feet. "You and that Mrs. Xie won't make it."
"Or, how about I give it a try for you, brother?"
"Then go ahead, if you think you can beat Xie Jinghuai."
After saying that, Fu Chenzhou gave a cold laugh, turned around, and strode away.
Fu Chong stared at the man's back, a sinister smile playing at the corners of his eyes.
"Brother, what are you talking about with that bastard?" Fu Ling walked over and put her arm around her older brother's shoulder.
“I’m testing him.”
"Huh? Try what?"
"Elasticity, and authenticity."
Fu Ling was completely confused. "So, did you find out?"
Fu Chong curled his lips mischievously, "We'll see. If this doesn't work, there will always be another chance."
