I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 256

Song Jingyu’s men kept following Shi Nuan, but discovered nothing suspicious about her whereabouts. Every day, she’d either go back home after work or go to dinner and shop with her colleague before going home. The woman didn’t even contact Fu Chengyan.

Those men were assigned to Song Jingyu by the Song family, so she knew how capable they were and never questioned their findings. After some time, Song Jingyu finally relaxed her guard on Shi Nuan, but she was still annoyed whenever Shi Nuan’s face popped up in her mind.

She was constantly looking for a chance to kick Shi Nuan out of Shengyuan, but it wasn’t the right timing yet. Now, Fu Chengyan had a poor impression of her. If she continued targeting Shi Nuan just because she looked like Shen Qianan, Fu Chengyan might rebel. The more she wanted him to stay away from Shi Nuan, the more he would go to her.

Song Jingyu decided not to touch Shi Nuan for now, but she wasn’t letting Shi Wei off lightly. Recently, there was a tremendous uproar on the Internet. The keyboard warriors she hired were great at hyping things up.

Shi Wei was terribly criticized online, especially after her photos were posted. She remained at home and dared not go out.

Because she didn’t talk to Fu Xicheng prior to leaving Sheen City, her husband never came looking for her after he had returned to Jiang City. Shi Wei was drowning in distraught and anxiety. Fu Xicheng was not the only one to ignore her; Fu Yuqing and Liu Minjun never called to console her or ask if the scandal was true.

Shi Wei remained in the Shi residence for about half a month. She was haggard and pale by the end of it.

Because Shi Wei dared not go out, she didn’t receive any job offers and could only rot at home. Jiang Yu’s heart ached whenever she saw her daughter in this state. Every night, she had trouble falling asleep as her mind was constantly racing through the possible solutions.

Shi Jingzheng couldn’t help but frown when he saw his wife pacing around the bedroom. He put down the newspapers and asked impatiently, “Why are you pacing around? You are making me dizzy.”

“‘Why’? What else can it be?” Jiang Yu flew into a rage since Shi Jingzheng wasn’t concerned at all. “Don’t you care about Wei? Don’t you know… Wei is being criticized badly online? She’s too traumatized to even go out of the house. My daughter has never suffered this much!”

“What can I do? Huancheng has no connections in the entertainment industry. Plus, her scandals have affected Huancheng greatly as well. I’ve been working my butt off to salvage the situation every day. What else can I do?” Shi Jingzheng replied exasperatedly. “We don’t know who’s behind this. Isn’t Wei under Xinhuang? Isn’t her company going to interfere? Don’t forget Fu Chengyan – I thought he was nice to us back then?”

Shi Jingzheng’s words reminded Jiang Yu of that incident. Back then, Fu Chengyan had attended Shi Wei’s wedding, but that wasn’t because of Fu Yuqing. Jiang Yu could still remember how grim Fu Yuqing and Liu Minjun looked that day.

Fu Chengyan’s surname was Fu, but he wasn’t related to Fu Yuqing at all. Jiang Yu only got to know this fact later on. Fu Yuqing played them all by letting them think he was part of Jiang City’s Fu clan, but that wasn’t the case.

Fu Chengyan’s reaction that day was clear enough. He told them he came because of Shi Yunsheng. Shi Yunsheng had retired for years, and Jiang Yu hardly paid attention to him. However, she never expected the old man would know someone influential like Fu Chengyan.

Jiang Yu felt frustrated whenever she thought of this. That meant Fu Yuqing’s Fucheng was no help to them. Instead, Fu Yuqing had managed to secure the help of the Shi family.

If nothing else, the Shi family was once influential. Although Shi Jingzheng wasn’t as capable as Shi Yunsheng was back then, the Shi family had always been wealthy. They weren’t part of the nouveau riche.

When Jiang Yu recalled Shi Wei and Fu Chengyan’s scandal, a thought suddenly occurred to her. Still reeling back from the shock, she didn’t realize that Shi Jingzheng had already stood up and was glancing at her suspiciously. “What are you thinking about?”

Jiang Yu was taken aback, and she shrugged in response to his question. “I-I was thinking about how great it would be if Shi Wei had married Fu Chengyan in the first place. Fu Xicheng is nothing compared to Fu Chengyan. No, he is definitely worse. Fu Chengyan is the owner of Shengyuan Group. Besides Shengyuan, he may very well end up being the leader of the great Fu clan.”

Jiang Yu’s head was swam the moment she started fantasizing. Why is Wei still hung up on that Fu Xicheng who’s merely a manager? Fu Xicheng would never get full control of Fucheng. But Fu Chengyan’s different. He’s the CEO of Shengyuan.

“Shut up!” Shi Jingzheng glared at Jiang Yu. “How dare you say that out loud? Does Wei have anything to do with Fu Chengyan as the rumors speculated?’
