I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 498

“I don’t care. I won’t give in that easily.” Jiang Yu was still fuming when they returned to their room. She looked at Shi Jingzheng and sneered, “Are you satisfied with this kind of outcome?”

Shi Jingzheng glared at her. “What are you planning to do then?”

“Hmph! After doing so much work, how dare he not give us anything. Have you forgotten that Dad gave his shares in Huancheng to Shi Nuan? When he decided that, she was still a member of the Shi family. But now that she has changed her surname, she is no longer one of us. What right does she have to own Huancheng’s shares?”

Shi Jingzheng recalled the matter now that Jiang Yu had brought it up. “That’s right. Old Master Shi did give the shares to Shi Nuan.” At that time, he had objected but could do nothing to change his father’s mind.

After all, Shi Jingzheng respected his father a lot and wouldn’t have clashed with his father over something like that. However, he realized that Jiang Yu was right. Now that Shi Nuan wasn’t a member of the Shi family, she no longer deserved to own the shares in Huancheng.

“What do you plan to do?”

“Since they want the household registers, fine. Just give us back the shares then.” Jiang Yu was adamant in her decision. “Tell your father that you will be the one to meet Shi Nuan tomorrow to change her surname. By that time, we will decide what happens.”

Shi Jingzheng nodded. “You’re right. Let’s go with your plan then.”

Shi Nuan’s phone rang incessantly since early morning. As she was sound asleep, it woke Fu Chengyan up instead. When he saw the caller ID, his eyes narrowed. “Hello?”

“Nuan… huh? You are?”

“I’m Fu Chengyan.” When he heard Fu Chengyan’s deep voice, the man on the other line was stunned briefly. He continued, “Yan, it’s Shi Jingzheng. I…”

“Oh, so it’s Mr. Shi.” Fu Chengyan chuckled. “Mr. Shi, may I know why are you calling so early in the morning?”

Fu Chengyan’s voice became frosty immediately. When Shi Jingzheng heard Fu Chengyan address him as Mr. Shi, his gaze turned awkward. However, he feigned ignorance and continued, “Erm… is Nuan awake? Can you let me speak to her?”

Fu Chengyan glanced at Shi Nuan who was still sound asleep and replied, “No, but it’s the same if you tell me whatever you planned to say to her.”

“Well…”

“Yes? Is it something that I’m not supposed to know?”

“No, no, I don’t mean that.” Shi Jingzheng didn’t dare make any demands in front of Fu Chengyan. He quickly changed his tact. “Well, Nuan wants to return to the Su family, right? My Dad has asked me to accompany Nuan to get her name changed. It relates to the household register, and Nuan’s household register is still with us.”

Fu Chengyan squinted his eyes, “Is that so?”

“Yes. Yan, can you check when Nuan is free? Ask her… erm, what I mean is that since Nuan is no longer a member of the Shi family, therefore…”

“Therefore what?” Fu Chengyan knew that Shi Jingzheng definitely had an ulterior motive for calling.

He likely didn’t expect me to be the one to pick up. Hence, he is stuttering in panic.

“Actually Mr. Shi, there’s no need for the trouble. When we visited yesterday, May’s main purpose was to pay respect to her Granddad. With regards to the change in surname, you don’t have to trouble yourself with it.”

“Hold on now, what do you mean?” Shi Jingzheng understood what Fu Chengyan meant. “But Nuan’s household register is still with us. How can…”

“Mr. Shi, don’t you have any confidence in my capabilities by now? I married May without your permission, do you think I need your household register to change her surname?” Fu Chengyan smiled faintly. His smile resembled that of a smirk than a smile.

Using his hands to lift up the blanket, he proceeded to cover Shi Nuan properly. After that, he headed to the balcony and watched what was going on downstairs.

Old Master Fu was playing chess with Su Huaibei. Su Huaibei had arrived very early, likely with the intention of changing Shi Nuan’s name.

Su Huaibei saw Fu Chengyan from below and nodded to greet him.

Fu Chengyan nodded back and shifted his gaze away. Tapping his fingers on the balcony railing, he remarked, “Well, that’s all for now, I got to go.”

“Hello, hello…” Before Shi Jingzheng could even reply, Fu Chengyan had ended the call.

“How did it go?”

Jiang Yu approached and saw Shi Jingzheng’s shaken expression. “Did Shi Nuan gave you a hard time?”

“That damn wretch, did she disagree?” Jiang Yu gritted her teeth. “Come, let’s go see her. If she doesn’t agree, we won’t allow her to change her surname.”

“Enough, it wasn’t her that answered!” Shi Jingzheng was in a foul mood. “In fact, I didn’t get to speak to her at all.”

“Then why are you so angry?”

“It was Fu Chengyan that answered,” Shi Jingzheng grumbled. “He was so cocky that I didn’t even have the opportunity to tell him. He told me that they came yesterday just to inform us about it and weren’t asking for our consent. In fact, he said that he didn’t even need our household register. He…”
