Chapter 137: I'm afraid my days are numbered!
The phone went dead; Zou Shuangyun coldly tossed the phone aside.
Yan Sui's words were something neither she nor Yan Zhaohua could have imagined.
However, relying on the compatibility of their birth dates to secure a marriage with the Fu family, the Yan family gained immeasurable benefits in just a few years.
Having already tasted the sweetness of success, they were unwilling to give up this piece of meat.
People outside say that Fu Yansheng has a headache, and if left untreated, he won't live long.
Who in the Fu family will be able to take over then?
What's wrong with her and Yan Zhaohua betting on Fu Qingci?
However, while you should place your bets, you can't place them completely; you have to hold back.
"Momo, if you insist on marrying Fu Qingci, your father and I will not attend."
"Why!" Yan Mo shrieked, "You want the horse to run but don't feed it! Fu Qingci has seen everything you've done. Once Fu Yansheng dies and inherits the Changjing, he won't help our Yan family either!"
She did not agree with what Yan Sui said.
Zou Shuangyun and Yan Zhaohua did not place any bets on Fu Qingci. They wanted to use her to keep Fu Qingci occupied, but also wanted to give the Yan family a way out at any time.
There's no such thing as a free lunch!
“If he has no skills, what makes him think he can marry you!” Zou Shuangyun didn’t think there was anything wrong with what she did.
Yan Mo scoffed coldly, "He was willing to give everything to give me the grandest wedding! He gave me everything he had!"
Zou Shuangyun's eyes flashed with sternness. "That's because he has ulterior motives! He has no resources or strength to stand up to Fu Yansheng, so he wants to get our Yan family to support him! If you weren't my daughter, would he be willing to make such a sacrifice for you?"
Yan Mo gritted her teeth and tears streamed down her face. "When Yan Sui and Fu Yansheng got engaged, did you and my dad have the same attitude?"
"What a joke! How dare Fu Qingci compare himself to Second Master Fu!"
"So you look down on me from the bottom of your heart, thinking that I am not as good as Yan Sui, and that the man I married is not as good as her!"
Zou Shuangyun pinched the bridge of her nose, her patience finally running out.
“I never compared you to her; you are the same.”
Yan Mo has become obsessed with something, and Zou Shuangyun is having a headache with her.
"What are you comparing yourself to Yan Sui for? Once she leaves the Yan family, she will never be able to step into our circle again! What you should care about now is what Fu Qingci can bring you! His only bargaining chip is that he still has the surname Fu, which is not enough to make you make any sacrifices for him. I tacitly allowed you to associate with him so that you would keep him hanging on, not make you chase after him!"
Yan Mo wouldn't listen to her at all, and screamed while covering her ears.
"I won't listen! I don't want to hear a single word! If you don't want to attend, fine, I'll still go ahead with the wedding!"
Zou Shuangyun glanced at her with a cold smile, "Fine, this will show you whether Fu Qingci is still willing to give everything for you without me and your father."
Without any return from the Yan family, this marriage based on self-interest will inevitably fall apart sooner or later.
...
Over here, Yan Sui hung up the phone, her heart still heavy with resentment.
With Yan Mo and Fu Qingci's marriage causing such a stir, will Zou Shuangyun and Yan Zhaohua still be able to refrain from taking sides?
She didn't care about Yan Mo, but she just couldn't stand seeing Fu Qingci, a petty person, get ahead.
After thinking for a moment, she sent a message to Jiang Yeling, asking her about the Fu family.
Jiang Yeling replied with a voice message.
“I didn’t think highly of Fu Qingci either, after all, he’s not legitimate and even a whale can’t get in.”
"But guess what? I heard from my dad that your short-lived fiancé hasn't been seen at the company for a long time. He's been recuperating and he's probably not going to live much longer!"
"With Master Fu gone, that good-for-nothing Fu Qingci took over without lifting a finger. Perhaps Yan Mo's marriage to him was a wise choice."
Yan Sui was shocked, feeling as if the sky had fallen.
"Heaven has no eyes! How could Fu Yansheng, that short-lived wretch, have to die!"
Just as Fu Yansheng approached Yan Sui, he happened to hear those words and paused in his steps.
How could he not know he was going to die?
Yan Sui put her phone away, thinking to herself that Fu Qingci must be very smug right now.
As she turned around, she was caught off guard by the man's deep eyes.
"Who's going to die?"
Yan Sui shook her head and sighed, "My short-lived ex-fiancé."
Fu Yansheng remained expressionless and asked calmly, "He's not that old, how could he be dying?"
Who exactly is spreading rumors and misinformation?
Yan Sui pondered for a moment, her eyes darting around.
"You might not believe it, but the reason Old Master Fu proposed the engagement to my family was because my horoscope and Fu Yansheng's were compatible! Now that I'm no longer holding back..."
Yan Sui clicked her tongue and shook her head. "He's not going to make it."
Fu Yansheng: "..."
That's how rumors start.
His eyes flickered slightly, but his voice remained flat: "You seem to care about him a lot."
Yan Sui rolled her eyes at him. "Think about it, what will happen to the Fu family's money if he dies?"
It all went into Fu Qingci's pocket!
She looked regretful. "I'm already willing to be a widow, is it too much to ask me to inherit a fortune of hundreds of billions?"
Fu Yansheng scoffed and turned to leave.
"I've kept you in vain."
Yan Sui followed his steps, "If I inherit his estate, I'll give it all to you!"
Fu Yansheng knew very well how unreliable her mouth was; she was full of empty talk and her words were not very sincere.
But he still turned around, reached out and put his arm around her waist, pulling her forward.
Their bodies were pressed close together, so close that Yan Sui could smell his scent.
The faint woody scent, unlike his own cool and unapproachable demeanor, instead exudes a warm and gentle feeling.
Is this really true?
Yan Sui couldn't help but look up. The sunlight shone on his handsome and sculpted features, as if melting the ice in his eyes.
The snow lotus standing atop the mountain bowed its proud head before her.
Yan Sui wished she could close her eyes. This was too much! How could he seduce her like that!
But she's damn obsessed with looks!
"W-What are you saying? I can't actually inherit his estate."
How could anyone actually believe that?
Fu Yansheng's eyes darkened, and he leaned closer to her, slightly lowering his head.
"But I'm easy to take care of, I don't cost much money."
Yan Sui panicked and reached out to cover his eyes.
Don't look at me like that.
A vixen.
Fu Yansheng remained unmoved, her voice low and soft, tinged with a hint of grievance: "Or is it that you've already changed your mind and prefer the younger one?"
His long eyelashes, like a small fan, tickled her palms.
Yan Sui suddenly felt the heat on her hand and tried to pull it back, but he grabbed her wrist.
"You're being unreasonable! Didn't you tell me to go find someone younger?"
"yes."
He leaned down and whispered, "That's why I regret it."
At first, he was bothered by Yan Sui's shallow and simple liking, which was nothing more than the novelty of her appearance.
The little girl's playfulness came quickly, and she withdrew even faster.
But it was precisely this carefree and unrestrained nature that led him to his downfall.
Compared to Yan Sui's change of heart, he seemed to care more about the fact that he had never even had this superficial affection.
Yan Sui felt dizzy and instinctively wanted to back down.
She was only lusting after his body; she had no intention of developing feelings for him.
"I think we should calm down."
Fu Yansheng pursed his thin lips. "I'm very calm."
Yan Sui said guiltily, "It was because I wasn't calm enough."
So you're trying to toy with my feelings?
When such a large hat was placed on her head, Yan Sui's eyes widened in surprise.
Where did this come from?
"You provoked me first, shouldn't you take responsibility?"
Yan Sui's eyes flickered.
Fu Yansheng said in a low voice, "I've never been in a relationship before, so I didn't know how to respond."
Yan Sui stared in disbelief, "Is this your first time?"
"Yes, my family is poor, and nobody likes me."
"ha?"
Are girls this tall nowadays?
He pulled Yan Sui's hand down, his deep eyes staring intently at her.
"Can you do that too?"
Yan Sui opened her mouth, "Of course not!"
Fu Yansheng curled his lips and suddenly smiled.
"So you like me."
In that instant, Yan Sui felt as if she were in quicksand, sinking heavily downwards.
I'm hooked.
Oh well, what can I do when nobody likes him?
