I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 176

Silence ensued after Anna stated her request. It was so quiet in the room that one could have heard a pin drop. Anna clenched her fists nervously as she fixed her eyes on Fu Chengyan. Even though she was fearful of him, she had to give it a shot to help Su Su out.

Anna was not the only one who was highly strung, An Chenyu was feeling nervous too. After all, the man whom they were talking to was the legendary Fu Chengyan of the Jiang City. Even if An Chenyu had only heard of the man’s prowess in the past, he had witnessed what happened to Anna. As such, he knew very well that Fu Chengyan was much more formidable than what he had shown so far.

Fu Chengyan twitched his lips and looked at Anna as he let out a soft laugh. Then, he picked up a card and twirled it between his slender fingers. “Has Ms. Anna thought it through? It’s not often that I owe people favors. Since I promised to return you one, I will definitely keep to my word. But are you sure that you want to use your chance on an unrelated person?”

Anna took a deep breath and replied resolutely, “Perhaps to Mr. Fu, Su Su is an insignificant person but she’s my friend. I know that Su Su and I used to assist Shi Wei in her plots against Shi Nuan and I deserved to be punished for that. But Mr. Fu, on the account that Su Su and I have already received our punishments. Can you please forgive us? After all, Shi Nuan… is fine!”

“Shi Nuan is fine because she was lucky. It doesn’t mean that you people don’t need to be punished!” Fu Chengyan’s voice hardened. “If she wasn’t lucky, she would have already gone through what you and your friend experienced, isn’t it?”

Anna was loss for words because she knew that Fu Chengyan was right. Anna was fearful of the man because whatever he stated were facts. That was also the reason she chose to use up the huge favor in exchange for Su Su’s safety. “Mr. Fu, I’m begging you. I know that it’s just a lift of a finger for you to help us but for Su Su and I, it would be a new lease of life. We have already learnt from our mistakes. Su Su has even told me that she hates Shi Wei. She has already repented.”

A half-concealed glint appeared in Fu Chengyan’s elongated eyes. “Did she say that herself?” He asked.

Anna nodded and replied, “She knows that Shi Wei was only making use of us to get even with Shi Nuan. After her ordeal, Su Su hates Shi Wei to the bones. We never expected that she would expose those photos! We… Mr. Fu, please, if you could help us this time, we will definitely look out for Mrs. Fu if Shi Wei intends to harm her again. We will do anything you ask us to!”

Fu Chengyan put his hand up as an indication for Anna to stop talking. “The two of you may go now!”

“Mr. Fu!” Anna was not willing to resign.

Fu Chengyan did not respond but took a glance at An Chenyu instead. At once, the other man understood what he meant. He pulled Anna up from the chair and said, “Mr. Fu has agreed. Let’s go!”

“Really?” Anna still couldn’t believe her luck. However, she knew that An Chenyu wouldn’t lie to her. With that in mind, she finally felt relieved and said, “Thanks, Mr. Fu. My brother and I shall excuse ourselves then.”

Anna and An Chenyu had already reached the door when she stopped and turned around. She looked at Fu Chengyan and said, “Mr. Fu, is it ok for me to ask you something?”

Fu Chengyan raised his eyebrows and replied, “Shoot!”

“Were you the one behind Su Su’s incident?”

Anna’s heart was thumping so hard when she asked the question. After all, she did not have a good grasp of Fu Chengyan’s personality, not to mention knowing where his limits were.

Upon hearing the woman’s question, Fu Chengyan threw the card onto the table. Rubbing his fingers against the back of his hand, he threw the question back to her. “What do you think?”

Anna shook her head. “I don’t know!”

She held her breath as she waited for Fu Chengyan’s reply. In fact, An Chenyu was curious to know the answer too. After a long pause, Fu Chengyan finally spoke. He said in a clear and nonchalant voice with a tone of menace, “If I were the one, her current state would be ten times worse!”

Color drained from Anna’s face as she staggered two steps back. Fortunately, she did not fall as An Chenyu caught her just in time.

An Chenyu supported Anna, who was out of sorts as they walked out of the room. Zhou Zheng left after them, shutting the door behind him.

Su Shaoqing brushed his fingers against his chin as he said, “Chengyan, it seems like you have already mastered the art of scaring others.”

Fu Chengyan raised his eyes and cast a sideways glance at Su Shaoqing. “Do you wish to experience it too?”

Su Shaoqing’s expression changed at once. Arching his brow, he said, “No thanks. I can’t afford this special treatment. But things are getting interesting. I didn’t expect that someone would take action before you.”

Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes as he replied, “I’m not surprised that he did that.”

“Tsk-tsk!” Su Shaoqing shook his head and let out a sigh. “Yun Shen seems to be much more decisive than his brother.”

Fu Chengyan glanced at Su Shaoqing indifferently and replied, “He can’t keep his cool.”

Su Shaoqing nodded his head in agreement. Yun Shen was definitely more ruthless than Yun Jing. Because of that, the Yun family was wary of him and had been trying to diminish the sphere of Yun Shen’s influence. Even though Su Shaoqing was not interested in business matters, he knew a little about the happenings of the rich and powerful families.
