Fu Qian straightened her neck and said, "I do have someone I like."
She took Chen Wen's hand and said, "In the Fu family, all you ever do is teach me those meaningless formalities of socialites and ladies, and make me learn in a month what others have learned in over a decade. You never genuinely care about me."
"Only my uncle understands my preferences. He tutors me, buys me my favorite chestnut cake, and doesn't criticize or laugh at me for my accent that I haven't had time to correct."
“Yes, I don’t have as many complicated thoughts as you do, Dad. I only know that the Fu family and the Chen family had arranged a marriage between their children, and that the Fu family’s daughter was to be with the Chen family’s son.”
“Since Father is unwilling to keep his promise, then I will set things right.”
"Him?! You!"
Fu An's eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Chen Wen and roared, "Is that what you think too?"
Chen Wen stopped Fu An.
"Fu Qian isn't used to life in Jincheng yet and is a bit dependent on me. Please don't worry about it; I'll try to talk her out of it."
“I know what I should do to be good for the Fu family. The Fu family has been kind to me, and I will never do anything to harm them.”
Fu An forced himself to suppress his temper.
After all, Chen Wen had worked under him for so many years, and he knew Chen Wen's character well.
"Then what about Fu Yu and Sheng Linghan's marriage..."
"I will find a way to get Sheng Linghan to marry Fu Qian. Only when Fu Qian becomes the mistress of the Sheng family can the Fu family truly benefit."
"Do a good job and don't let me down."
"Don't take Fu Qian's words to heart. The arranged marriage back then was just a joke between adults."
"Yes, I will never forget the kindness of the Fu family."
Chen Wen escorted Fu Qian upstairs.
Upon reaching the bedroom, Fu Qian hugged Chen Wen, crying.
"Are you really not going to marry me? Do you really not love me anymore?"
Chen Wen gently wiped away Fu Qian's tears.
“Honey, your aunt and uncle are getting old, you need to give them time to adjust.”
"The Fu family is currently facing a major cash flow problem, which is why my uncle has set his sights on the Sheng family, hoping to use them to turn things around and return to their former glory."
Chen Wen explained the pros and cons to Fu Qian.
He will try his best to save the Fu family.
Once Fu Yu and Sheng Linghan get married, Fu An won't be able to mess with the Sheng family.
By then, the die is cast, and he will have no choice but to acquiesce to the two of them being together.
"Or, should we ask Fu Yu for help now?"
Chen Wen pressed down on Fu Qian's shoulder and said confidently, "Ayu used to listen to me a lot. If I ask her to, she might help persuade your uncle."
"No need to look for her!"
Fu Qian absolutely forbids Chen Wen and Fu Yu from contacting each other again.
"What help can she be to a dying man!"
According to the normal timeline, at this time in her previous life, Fu Qian was almost strangled to death for angering Sheng Linghan.
Fu Yu probably doesn't have many days left to live.
Sheng Linghan's personality is unpredictable and capricious. Fu Yu has been pampered and spoiled for years, and may die even earlier than her.
What do you mean by that?
Chen Wen looked at her, puzzled.
"nothing……"
Fu Qian hugged Chen Wen and snuggled into his arms.
"I will listen to you obediently. Don't go to Fu Yu, and don't look at other women."
"Honey, are you jealous?"
"Yes, you are my man, and I will not allow you to see any other woman besides me."
Fu Qian cupped Chen Wen's chin and said, "I will help you. I will help the Fu family get through this crisis."
In his past life, Sheng Linghan had helped the Fu family because of her.
He bought land in the south of the city at rock-bottom prices and shorted the stock of the Fu family's competitor.
Fu Qian still remembers his methods back then.
If she follows the same method, she will surely be able to save the group from its dire straits.
But after she finished explaining her plan, a dark glint flashed in Chen Wen's eyes.
Who taught you that?
"It was my own idea. Don't worry, I'll definitely succeed."
Fu Qian kissed Chen Wen's lips, "Trust me."
Fu An plans to lock Fu Qian up for a month.
But two weeks later, it was the coming-of-age banquet for Wang Chuchu, the daughter of the Wang family.
Fu An released the person before the banquet.
I told her to be quick-witted and careful.
Upon arriving at the club, the socialites present were discussing the club's new owner.
Fu Qian found an empty seat and sat down, vaguely hearing the name Fu Yu.
"Sheng Linghan transferred this club to Ayu's name."
"My God, shopping malls, clubs, golf clubs, Ayu's net worth must have doubled since then."
"Hilarious! Back then, the Fu family said Fu Yu was nothing without them, but look what happened..."
"After leaving the tattered umbrella, I realized that it wasn't raining at all; on the contrary, the sky was clear and blue."
"What's there to be proud of?"
Fu Qian couldn't stand it anymore, so she picked up her wine glass and threw it at the face of the woman who was talking the loudest.
The woman screamed, "Are you crazy?"
The woman wiped her face, and upon seeing that it was Fu Qian in front of her, a defiant and arrogant smile appeared on her lips.
"Oh, I thought it was someone else, but it's you."
"I heard that the Fu family sent you to Sheng Linghan's bed back then, but you ran away and also sent Fu Yu there."
"What Fu Yu has now is what should have been yours. You must be in pain and suffering!"
"Are you gritting your teeth and swallowing it down?"
"No, I didn't."
Fu Qian wanted to slap the woman, but was pulled back by the people around her.
No, not at all!
She wasn't envious of Fu Yu at all! And she had absolutely no desire to stay by Sheng Linghan's side!
Tears blurred my vision.
In her past life, she had also attended this banquet.
At that time, she was the nominal Madam Sheng, and her influence was unparalleled.
Everyone tried their best to curry favor with her, including several socialites who had previously mocked her English pronunciation; they all wished they could slap themselves and kneel down to apologize.
The Wang family commissioned a gemstone necklace for their daughter, which was absolutely dazzling.
Sheng Linghan simply bought a diamond necklace worth hundreds of millions, which made Fu Qian stand out from the crowd and become dazzling.
At the time, it seemed like nothing special.
But now, all the glory surrounding the Sheng family has shifted to Fu Yu.
Fu Qian clenched her fingers.
She dared not admit that at this very moment, an emotion called jealousy was spreading through her entire body.
After a moment of silence, the sound of high heels echoed from the stage.
Fu Yu and the Wang family's daughter walked hand in hand to the center.
Fu Qian was always confident in her beauty, which far surpassed that of Fu Yu.
But nourished by money, elegance, and happiness, Fu Yu seemed to radiate a dazzling light, so much so that Fu Yu dared not look directly at her.
wrong.
Something must be wrong.
"lady."
A familiar male voice came from the entrance. Fu Qian turned her head and saw Sheng Linghan in a sharp black suit, with a collar clip that matched the color of Fu Yu's dress.
The Buddhist prayer beads on his wrist had disappeared, replaced by a bracelet.
There are two prominent letters on the bracelet.
FY.
Sheng Linghan walked past Fu Qian, went up on stage, and pulled Fu Yu into his arms.
