"If you break off the engagement now, it will confirm the rumors that Li Susu is the third party."
Fu Yan's words caused Fu Xingzhou's expression to darken.
What did you say?
"Although the previous rumors have been suppressed, your marriage with the Bai family has not been officially dissolved."
"Li Susu's appearance has indeed caused a lot of discussion in the industry. Don't you really care about her reputation?"
Fu Xingzhou took a breath and looked into his father's cold eyes.
"What exactly are you trying to say?"
“You can’t touch the Bai family. Besides the fact that they’ve been on good terms for generations, there are also many other interests involved.”
"Although the Bai family's strength is not what it used to be, bankruptcy will only allow other rivals to take it over, and will not benefit the Fu family at all."
"You're making this kind of losing deal just because you're angry at the moment. Don't you think that's childish?"
Fu Yan's words were clear and logical, directly hitting the nail on the head regarding the core of the issue.
Fu Xingzhou's words were choked back by his father, who knew in his heart that this was somewhat inappropriate.
"I agree to annul the engagement, but not now."
"Once the alliance of interests between the Bai family and the Fu family is dissolved, you can do whatever you want, and I definitely won't stop you, how about that?"
Fu Yan's words were tantamount to a tacit concession.
Fu Xingzhou glanced at his father, trying to discern from his eyes whether he was telling the truth or lying.
Unfortunately, he could never see through his father's heart.
"Xingzhou, you are my son, and of course I hope you can marry the wife you desire, but right now, the Bai family cannot be touched."
Fu Yan emphasized it again, giving an even more irresistible reason.
"If we take action against the Bai family now, it will give our rivals an opportunity to take advantage of us. The Li family will also suffer great losses due to the Bai family's counterattack."
"At that time, you alone will not be able to protect the Li family."
Fu Yan's words were not false, and Fu Xingzhou finally began to hesitate.
"The cooperation between the subsidiary and the Bai family will continue. You don't need to worry about the Bai family for the time being. I will handle the negotiations."
"You can go now."
After saying what he needed to say, Fu Yan continued eating.
The old man wasn't worried at all that his son would argue back, because he had already accurately grasped his son's weaknesses.
His weakness lies in not being ruthless or cruel enough.
Now that he has a woman he likes, he will naturally be more cautious.
This delaying tactic is sufficient.
Fu Xingzhou didn't say anything more and left the Fu family's old residence directly.
After his son left, Shen Ronghua spoke in a low voice.
"Are you really planning to break off Xingzhou and Weiwei's engagement?"
Shen Ronghua had always liked this daughter-in-law very much, and Fu Yan knew this very well. However, as a husband, he also knew very well that his wife was someone who couldn't keep secrets.
"You are not allowed to mention this to anyone else."
"The situation is unstable lately. If the Bai family comes to visit you, just say you're sick and don't want to see them. Do you understand?"
Shen Ronghua pursed her lips; since her husband wouldn't say anything, she didn't dare ask any more.
After all, Fu Yan had been in charge of the household for decades, and everything was under his control, so he wouldn't make any mistakes.
"I see."
"But you have to keep an eye on that vixen Li Susu. Don't let her get too close to Xingzhou. I don't know what kind of bewitching potion she's given my son. How dare a divorced woman dream of becoming the mistress of the Fu family?"
"What a dream!"
