Chapter 319 Inviting the Guest into the Trap
The secretary reported the matter of the old house to Fu Hongkai: "Vice President, the people at the old house say that Fu Shenyuan can't come here right now. The old man specifically asked to see Jiang Ranxing. I suspect that the old man might want to entrust the Fu family to her first. Giving it to her is equivalent to giving it to Fu Shenyuan. What do you think?"
Fu Hongkai stood up angrily and said, "That's right, you're right. The old man has never considered me from beginning to end. Even now, he still wants to see someone with a different surname."
The flames of resentment in Fu Hongkai's heart burned ever brighter, burning away all his reason.
“Go back to the old house,” Fu Hongkai instructed. “Bring the copy of the will we prepared. I want the old man to revise it.”
Just as the secretary followed her to the door, she noticed an uninvited guest.
"Are you Ms. Lin? Are you here to see the vice president?" the secretary asked.
Lin Xuesha gave a fake smile: "Is President Fu here?"
Fu Hongkai naturally noticed Lin Xuesha as well. He walked over and asked, puzzled, "Did you come to see me for something? We don't seem to have any connection."
"That's not how you say it, Second Uncle. We've met before at the old house, and we even saw Sister Yuqi at her wedding."
Fu Hongkai, unaware of Lin Xuesha's intentions, said, "I'm sorry, I have something to do and can't catch up with Miss Lin today."
As Fu Hongkai turned to leave, Lin Xuesha stopped him on the spot.
"You're going to the Fu family's old residence, right? That's why I came to see you today."
Lin Xuesha didn't want to hide anything and went straight to the point: "You have informants at the old house, and so do I. Dr. Li is one of your people. He tampered with the medicine he gave Chairman Fu, and the chairman won't live much longer."
Fu Hongkai put his foot down again and turned to look at the beautiful woman beside him.
Fu Hongkai said coldly, "You actually know this? Are you trying to blackmail me with it?"
“You’re wrong, Second Uncle,” Lin Xuesha laughed, a smile that seemed to be laced with poison. “I’m on your side. After all, you’re my elder, and we should be family, right?”
Fu Hongkai said, "Miss Lin, just say what you mean directly. I don't like people beating around the bush."
Lin Xuesha turned around, stared at him, and said, "I want to become Fu Shenyuan's wife, and I want there to be no possibility between Jiang Ranxing and him forever."
"Why do you think I can do it?" Fu Hongkai twirled his wrist. "Fu Shenyuan and I are now sworn enemies. Even if I could help you, I wouldn't give up the Fu family. You wouldn't be the matriarch of the Fu family anyway. Are you really willing to have a useless Fu Shenyuan?"
Lin Xuesha sneered: "That's still better than watching Jiang Ranxing get all of this. Besides, even if Shen Yuan can't compete with you, he can't be left with nothing. We won't develop in China anymore; overseas branches will suffice. You can stay in China and be the head of the Fu family with peace of mind."
“As long as Jiang Ranxing is here, Fu Shenyuan will always be thinking about competing with you for power. But when there is absolutely no possibility between the two of them, Shenyuan will come back to my side. I am of one mind with you, otherwise I would not have kept the secret of killing my own father for you. This deal is very worthwhile, isn’t it, Second Uncle?”
Fu Hongkai sneered. He had really underestimated this woman; she was a ruthless character.
Fu Hongkai tentatively asked, "What if I don't agree to cooperate with you? What will you do then?"
Lin Xuesha said calmly, "Second Uncle, if you are willing to give me this face, then nothing will happen. If you are not willing, I can keep your secret, but I don't know if others will."
Fu Hongkai pondered for a while, and finally made the decision: "Okay, your second uncle likes you as his niece-in-law."
Lin Xuesha smiled.
Jiang Ranxing, this time I won't let you get away with it so easily.
Meanwhile, the old housekeeper contacted Jiang Ranxing, who was then locked in the design room, engrossed in drawing design drafts.
"Hello?"
"Young Madam Sun, I am the housekeeper of the old mansion. The master is probably not well and wants to see you. Can you come over now?"
When Jiang Ranxing heard his panicked and trembling voice, her heart skipped a beat.
"How is Grandpa doing now? Have you called a doctor?"
The old butler replied, "I did call the doctor, and he said things weren't looking good, which is why I urgently called you here. The master said he had something very important to tell you."
Jiang Ranxing glanced at the design drawings in her hand. The client had suddenly shortened the timeframe, which was why she had isolated herself in the design studio. Now, however, something had happened at the Fu family's old mansion...
After weighing the two sides, Jiang Ranxing still felt that human life was at stake and had no choice but to let Mia accept the job.
"Okay, let me get ready and drive over."
"Thank you for your trouble. I'll be waiting for you at the entrance of the old house."
"Um."
Jiang Ranxing called Mia in: "Mia, the client urgently needs this design. This is something you're good at, so I'll leave it to you."
Mia said, "Where are you going, sis? There's a discussion meeting this afternoon."
“At the Fu family’s old house, Fu Shenyuan’s grandfather may not be able to make it. He said he has something to say to me.”
Mia asked, puzzled, "But, Sister Ranxing, are you really going? I think it's better if we don't go. I have a bad feeling about this."
"I've thought about it, but if there's anything I don't know in the end, I'm afraid it will become a regret."
Mia said, "That's right. Do you want me to go with you? That way, we can help each other if anything happens."
Jiang Ranxing waved his hand and said, "It's okay, nothing will happen there. Don't worry, just take good care of the studio."
After saying that, Jiang Ranxing drove away, heading towards the Fu family's old residence.
The Fu family's old residence.
When the old butler saw a car approaching in the distance, he assumed it was Jiang Ranxing arriving. He was in a hurry to take Jiang Ranxing inside to see Grandpa Fu, but unexpectedly, two other people got out of the car.
"Second Young Master, Miss Lin, how could this be?"
Fu Hongkai glanced at him: "What, can't I come? Isn't this the Fu family's old house? I still have the surname Fu."
"This... I misspoke, please don't mind," the old butler looked at Lin Xuesha, "Miss Lin, you are here because..."
The old housekeeper is now hesitant to let anyone in easily. Old Master Fu's situation is special, and they need to ensure his safety as much as possible.
Fu Hongkai said, "Xue Sha is Shen Yuan's person. She came to see their grandfather. Is there a problem?"
Even though Fu Hongkai said that, this was the first time the old butler had so bluntly objected.
"I'm afraid that won't work. The master is not seeing anyone right now, and as for you, young master, I'm afraid the master can't see you either."
"What did you say?!" Fu Hongkai roared. "Do you even know who you're talking to?!"
The old butler still stood in the doorway: "I'm sorry, Second Young Master, I can only let you into the old house after the Master has given his explicit permission."
“You are a loyal dog,” Fu Hongkai raised his hand and waved it, “but it’s a pity that only the Fu family can make the decisions in this family, and you are nothing. Get out of the way.”
As Fu Hongkai's hand fell, more than a dozen bodyguards came forward. Two of them, who were nearly two meters tall, easily subdued the old butler. The rest of the bodyguards stood on either side, making way for Fu Hongkai and Lin Xuesha.
"Has Jiang Ranxing arrived?" Lin Xuesha asked.
"Miss Lin, she hasn't arrived yet, but she should be here soon. The old butler just contacted her."
“That’s perfect, then I can arrange the most spectacular performance for her.”
Lin Xuesha smiled sinisterly and followed them into the solemn atmosphere of the Fu family's old mansion.
