At this moment, in the Fu family villa, Mr. Fu sat in a chair without saying a word.
Fu Zhiqing sat at the lower end of the room with her head down, her lips pursed, seemingly lost in thought. The atmosphere in the villa was somewhat oppressive.
Just then, a landline rang not far away.
Mr. Fu's expression changed, and he answered the phone.
Soon, the assistant's voice came through.
The purpose was to inquire whether the press conference scheduled for three days later would proceed as planned.
This time, the press conference was ostensibly to introduce the Fu family's new products, but it also served to announce Fu Zhiqing's status as their successor.
The venue and reporters were almost ready, but this unexpected incident occurred.
Mr. Fu's face was extremely grim: "Cancel it. What's the point of holding a press conference?"
Hearing the anger in his voice, the assistant dared not say anything and immediately agreed meekly.
After hanging up the phone, Mr. Fu's eyes darkened slightly as he looked down at Fu Zhiqing and said, "Look what you've done."
As he spoke, he slammed his hand on the table with a loud "bang," which startled Fu Zhiqing.
Coming to her senses, a hint of despair flashed in her eyes.
After all, she made such a fool of herself, and she will probably become a laughing stock for others in the future.
"This isn't my fault. I had prepared the video thoroughly and checked it repeatedly. There was absolutely no problem. How could I have known something like this would happen?"
Hearing that she not only showed no remorse but also talked back and tried to justify herself, Fu's father became even angrier: "Didn't you do that shameful thing yourself? If you didn't do it, how could others have caught you doing something wrong? Now that this matter has been exposed, who knows what people are saying about me behind my back? They'll think that I didn't raise you well and let you do such a shameless thing."
As he spoke, his chest heaved, looking extremely angry: "You have no shame, but I do. Now look what's happened, the marriage alliance is ruined, all because of your mess."
It's important to understand that if the two families successfully form a marriage alliance, it will bring considerable benefits to the Fu family.
Moreover, Old Master Wen was very satisfied with this marriage, but now it has been ruined.
It's still unclear whether the cooperation between the two companies will be affected. If it does affect the product, wouldn't that be...?
Thinking of this, Mr. Fu became increasingly angry, especially when he heard Fu Zhiqing's sobbing. His expression turned icy: "You'd better stay home and reflect on your actions during this time."
Unexpectedly, he even deprived her of the opportunity to attend the press conference. Fu Zhiqing was slightly stunned, and the next moment she stood up abruptly, her eyes wide: "Why? I didn't do anything wrong."
This was an opportunity she had fought hard for; once it was announced, she would be the rightful heir to the Fu family.
Seeing that she was still being stubborn, Mr. Fu became even angrier.
But when he met those bloodshot eyes, he couldn't help but sigh.
If the Fu family didn't only have one heir left, why would he insist on hanging himself on this good-for-nothing?
He pinched the bridge of his nose and pointed irritably at the stairs not far away: "In short, you stay at home for the time being and think about where you went wrong. Don't appear in public again. Our Fu family can't afford to lose face like this."
With that, he glared angrily at Fu Zhiqing, then slammed the door and left.
At this moment, Fu Zhiqing hugged her knees and sat down on the ground, burying her face in them, and sobs could be heard from time to time.
Only when the room was completely quiet did she take a deep breath, slowly stand up, and walk towards the dressing table.
Sitting on the chair, Fu Zhiqing looked at her reflection in the mirror, her eyes red and swollen, her resentment growing stronger.
She had been flustered at the engagement party, but now that she had calmed down, she realized there were many suspicious points in the matter.
She had checked the video repeatedly, just in case something went wrong.
Moreover, she personally oversaw every step of the engagement party, so how could such a problem have occurred?
It's likely that someone sabotaged her behind the scenes, causing her to make such a fool of herself.
She must find the mastermind behind this and do everything in her power to eliminate them.
Having made up her mind, Fu Zhiqing slightly raised her eyes, staring intently at her face in the mirror, her makeup already ruined. The murderous intent in her eyes was chilling.
Meanwhile, after several days of investigation, Li Ruo also discovered a number of clues.
She discovered that the Fu family's company had previously encountered problems, but these had not received much public attention, and the matter had not even been reported in the media.
Indeed, a safety issue arose with one of Fu's products during its previous production process.
And it was because of this thing that someone later died.
Looking at the information in the document, Li Ruo frowned.
She slowly scrolled down, only to find that there was no detailed follow-up result.
"How could that be?"
She murmured to herself, a few guesses unconsciously forming in her mind.
This document does not mention the outcome, so did the Fu family actually appease the victims?
Or did they spend a lot of money to cover it up completely?
