I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 294

Song Huaiyan was stunned when he heard it. He did not expect to be at a disadvantage so quickly. He tried to be indirect with Fu Chengyan as being explicit would mean admitting defeat.

To him, Fu Chengyan was a tough opponent, and he wondered where Fu Chengyan inherited his temperament from.

However, there was no way he could be explicit as he would have to admit that Song Jingyu was sick. When that happened, he would lose his last bargaining chip.

Fu Chengyan wasn’t in a hurry as he wasn’t the one who needed help. Instead, he wanted to see how far Song Huaiyan was willing to go for Song Jingyu.

He felt that Song Huaiyan shouldn’t be sincere given his Machiavellian character, especially when the subject in question was a child borne by his old flame with another man. Even though Song Jingyu had inherited her mother’s pretty features, it was an undeniable fact that she was ill.

Fu Chengyan was preparing tea when he looked at his watch. “Aren’t you going to visit my mother? Or do you prefer to waste your time here with me?”

Song Huaiyan was outraged and couldn’t bear it anymore. “Speak. Just tell me what you want.”

Fu Chengyan smiled in response. “I think you are overreacting. I’m sure you’re aware that I really don’t want anything.”

Song Huaiyan took a deep breath. “I want to see Jingyu.”

“If you want to see her, please go ahead. I don’t understand why you’re looking for me instead!” Fu Chengyan poured a cup of tea for Song Huaiyan. “Aren’t you losing sight of what’s in front of you?”

“Let’s cut to the chase. Jingyu is sick and is in the hospital. However, the hospital staff aren’t allowing me to see her. I know you’re behind this!” Song Huaiyan said in frustration. “Jingyu is your sister. How could you do this to her?”

“Fu Chengyan looked up and said, “What are you so angry for?”

Now that Song Huaiyan had reached his limit, Fu Chengyan put his teacup down calmly and leaned on his chair. He stretched his fingers and tapped on the table. “Is Jingyu sick? I don’t know anything about it. If you don’t believe…”

“Enough.” Song Huaiyan slammed his teacup on the table while his eyes were filled with anger. “I’ll take her away from Jiang City!”

“So, you’re here to take your daughter home with you!” Fu Chengyan smiled as he replied, “This is a good decision. Ms. Song has left home long enough, and it isn’t good for her to be out for such an extended period of time. As a lady of the Song family, it would be wise for her to rest at home. In the event she caused any trouble, it would be a terrible thing if word got out.”

Song Huaiyan’s expression darkened and said, “Yan, you’re right. I will take Jingyu back to the capital tomorrow!”

Fu Chengyan nodded. “That is for the best. Since you care for Ms. Song so much, I will try my best to help. You must be tired after so many days. Would you like to go back and rest first? I’ll notify you when I hear something!”

Fu Chengyan was visibly relieved. Although it wasn’t what he initially expected, having Song Jingyu sent home was good enough for him.

“Alright. I’ll wait for you to notify me of the good news!”

Fu Chengyan nodded as he stood up. He then put his coat over his arm and said, “I’ll do my best to expedite this matter for you; however, you must remember that this is Jiang City and not the capital. Certain matters…”

“Don’t worry, I’ll be stricter with her after I bring her home!” Song Huaiyan was furious and his veins were bulging, but he had to keep his temper in check. “Jingyu is not the kind who will disobey!”

“That’s wonderful then!”

Fu Chengyan smirked, “In that case I’ll have someone send you out!”

“There’s no need; I’ll go out myself!”

“Alright, thanks for coming!”

It was no longer necessary for Fu Chengyan to interact with Song Huaiyan as he had already achieved his objective.

Everyone was almost done with the food by the time he returned to the private room. When they saw Fu Chengyan walk in cheerfully, they knew that the negotiations had gone smoothly.

Fu Chengyan sat down beside Shi Nuan and looked around. “Why is everyone looking at me?”

Shi Nuan laughed and refilled his bowl of rice. “Have you completed the discussion?”

Fu Chengyan nodded. “Yes!”

“Let’s eat, you didn’t manage to eat much just now,” she added, “There’s not much left; would you like to order more?”

Shi Nuan signaled to the waiter as she spoke. However, Fu Chengyan stopped her. “No need; there’s still a lot left. Besides, I’m not that hungry!” Fu Chengyan patted Shi Nuan on her shoulders. “Are you full?”

“Yes!”

Fu Chengyan started eating at Shi Nuan’s behest. In a short while, his phone rang. It was Zhou Zheng. “Mr. Fu, just now Song Huaiyan stopped outside your private room for a while before he left!”

Fu Chengyan’s eyes narrowed in suspicion. “Alright, I understand.”

“What do you want us to do?”
