"Business?" Xu Zhiru raised her voice. "Fu Chen, how many times did you glance at Ning Nanxue at the banquet today? Have you counted them yourself? Now you tell me that Su Yao is just for business? Do you think I'm a fool?"
Fu Chen frowned: "Zhiru, watch your tone. Ning Nanxue and I have already gone there. What's important now is the Fu family. The Su family's funds are very important to us."
"So Su Yao can look at you casually, and you can also be obsessed with Ning Nanxue?" Xu Zhiru was so angry that her chest heaved, "Fu Chen, do you really care about me?"
Fu Chen looked at her with a somewhat impatient tone: "Of course I care about you, otherwise why would I get engaged? I will take care of Su Yao. Just take care of your health and don't let your imagination run wild."
Xu Zhiru felt a chill in her heart when she saw him avoiding the main issue.
He didn't understand at all, or rather, he didn't care about her feelings.
She was jealous that Su Yao could approach Fu Chen so blatantly, even if it was just a show, and she was even more jealous that Ning Nanxue always seemed to easily occupy a place in Fu Chen's heart, even if it was just a glance.
After the engagement party, Su Yao's movements became more frequent.
She was indeed anxious, but Jiang Tingchen ignored her, while Ning Nanxue was in high spirits.
She must make Jiang Tingchen see her "value" as soon as possible, and Fu Chen is her best springboard and tool at the moment.
"Mr. Fu, regarding the details of the capital injection we talked about last time, I think we need to touch upon it again." Su Yao's voice was accompanied by a professional smile, and the call was made directly to Fu Chen's private mobile phone.
Fu Chen responded with a few words at first, but later he became a little annoyed. However, the Su family's funds had not yet arrived in full, so he could only deal with it patiently.
Xu Zhiru saw it all and was angry, but she couldn't vent her anger. Fu Chen always had a reason, and it was all for the company.
Late that night, Xu Zhiru was awakened by the sound of an argument downstairs.
She put on a coat and went downstairs, and saw Su Yao standing in the middle of the living room talking, while Fu Chen was wearing a nightgown with an unexpected look on his face.
"Su Yao! How shameless of you to break into someone else's house in the middle of the night!" Xu Zhiru's voice was hoarse from just waking up and filled with uncontrollable anger.
When Su Yao saw Xu Zhiru, there was no panic on her face. Instead, she straightened her skirt: "Miss Xu, Mr. Fu and I are discussing urgent business related to an important project of Fu's company. Why are you making such a fuss? Is the survival of Fu's company not as important as your sleep?"
"Talking about business? I think you're just a weasel paying a New Year's visit to a chicken, with no good intentions!" Xu Zhiru was so angry that she was shaking all over. She turned to Fu Chen and said, "Ah Chen, tell her to get out! Now! Right now!"
Fu Chen rubbed his brows, his tone revealing fatigue: "Zhiru, Miss Su does have an urgent matter..."
"Urgent?" Xu Zhiru couldn't believe her ears. She looked at Fu Chen and asked word by word, "Fu Chen, look me in the eye and tell me, you dressed like this in the middle of the night to meet her to discuss business?"
Su Yao couldn't help rolling her eyes, and even accused: "Xu Zhiru, can you think of anything else besides love in your mind?"
Fu Chen was silent.
The Su family's funds were like a mountain pressing on him. He couldn't offend Su Yao at this time.
Xu Zhiru looked at Fu Chen's silence, and her heart sank little by little, turning cold.
She suddenly laughed, and her laughter was filled with unspeakable sadness and despair: "Okay, good to talk about business. Fu Chen, for money, you don't even want your family, right?"
She stopped looking at the two men and turned around to walk up the stairs step by step, each step feeling like walking on the edge of a knife.
It turned out that her marriage and her husband were so vulnerable in the face of money and interests.
She envied Su Yao's recklessness, and hated Fu Chen's ruthlessness and cowardice even more.
This man has no time or energy to care about her life or death.
In the company, Secretary Chen placed a stack of printed documents on the coffee table in front of Ning Nanxue. The papers touched the table lightly, making a slight sound.
"Ms. Ning, these are summaries of Mr. Fu and Su Yao's recent meetings, as well as their call records." Secretary Chen's voice was flat as he spoke.
Ning Nanxue picked up the top sheet of paper and ran her fingers lightly over the printed text. There was more to Su Yao's name than she had imagined.
"Is Fu Chen... treating the Su family as driftwood?" Ning Nanxue's voice was not loud, as if she was asking herself.
Secretary Chen lowered his head and said, "Fu's financial situation is a bit tight due to several previous projects."
"These things," Ning Nanxue pointed at the stack of information with her fingertips, "we need to find a way to let Xu Zhiru 'discover them herself'. We need to make her think that it was her luck, not something we had delivered to her."
Secretary Chen replied, "I understand." He paused, then added, "Su Yao is becoming more and more relaxed, and President Fu seems to have accepted it."
"He doesn't care about those things right now." Ning Nanxue put down the information, "The Su family's money is what he wants most right now."
Xu Zhiru "found" those things in Fu Chen's study.
A few pieces of paper were casually thrown next to the wastebasket. On them were the duration of the call between Fu Chen and Su Yao, as well as a restaurant reservation information. The time was exactly the night that Fu Chen said he was working overtime at the company.
She held the papers in her hands, her hands shaking.
The humiliation and the uncontrollable anger made her chest feel tight.
Fu Chen, for the Su family's money, actually went to this extent.
It was late at night, Xu Zhiru tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so she dialed a number that she would never have thought of calling in the past.
The call went through, but Ning Nanxue's voice was emotionless: "Who?"
"It's me, Xu Zhiru." Her voice was a little hoarse, and she spoke with a resolute spirit, "Ning Nanxue, let's talk."
There was no movement from Ning Nanxue's side. After a while, she asked, "What are you talking about?"
"Fu Chen, and Su Yao." Xu Zhiru gritted her teeth, "You hate Fu Chen, and I hate Su Yao. We can join forces."
"Join forces?" Ning Nanxue's voice hinted at something. "Miss Xu, what can you offer me to join forces with you?"
"Here." Xu Zhiru took a breath and calmed herself down. "I have a copy of the financial statements showing all of Fu's recent irregularities. Do you want them?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds.
Ning Nanxue spoke, her voice still the same: "What do you want?"
"I want Su Yao to get out of the Fu family and get out of our lives!" Xu Zhiru's voice suddenly became shrill. "Fu Chen is my husband, and the Fu family is my home! Who the hell is she?"
Ning Nanxue listened without feeling anything special. She had seen Xu Zhiru like this before.
"Aren't you worried that if I get the things, I'll take you away too?"
"Of course you will." Xu Zhiru's voice was calmer. "But that's for later. Right now, our number one enemy is Su Yao. The longer Su Yao stays with Fu Chen, the more unhappy I will be. Ning Nanxue, I just want to protect my home. I don't care if you deal with Fu Chen, Su Yao must disappear first."
