I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 62

“You’ll pay for this, Fu Chengyan!”

Fu Renjiang’s scream rang across the entire Shengyuan Group building. No one knew what happened to him, but everyone was aware of the person in power.

“The young lady is looking for you, Mr. Fu!”

Fu Chengyan’s secretary called him up. “Ms. Fu is waiting in your office.”

“Got it,” Fu Chengyan said and turned to Zhou Zheng. “I’ll leave the rest to you. Remember to eliminate the root cause!”

“Yes, sir!” Zhou Zheng replied solemnly. “I’ll take care of it at once!”

Fu Chengyan returned to his office to find Fu Jiayu seated on the couch. She looked rather unsettled and nervous. She had a cup of coffee in her hands, but she didn’t take a single sip of it.

Hearing the door open, Fu Jiayu immediately stood up. “Yan!”

Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes, closed the door, and said with his lips curled, “We’re at work now.”

“Mr. Fu!” Fu Jiayu said reluctantly. “Mr. Fu, I’m here today because…”

“Because you want to ask me about today’s incident?” Fu Chengyan interrupted with a smile. “Shouldn’t you know best?”

Fu Jiayu pursed her lips as her eyes carried a hint of jest. “I knew you were the smartest among us all since young. Tell me, what do you intend to do?”

Fu Chengyan raised his eyebrows to beckon Fu Jiayu not to be so nervous. He walked over to his desk and stood there for a moment before taking a document out of his drawer to hand it over.

“What’s this?” Fu Jiayu was puzzled.

“It’s what you want most!” Fu Chengyan answered, his low voice showing a trace of a grin. “Take it. I hope there won’t be a second time!”

“You…”

Fu Jiayu’s expression changed slightly before she reached out to grab the document from Fu Chengyan. The moment she took a look at it, she turned pale. “You…” She understood at once. “Fu Renjiang didn’t resign?”

Fu Chengyan curled his lips. “You’ve been working with him all this while – you surely know what he’s like?”

Fu Jiayu said with a bitter smile, “You really know everything. Then, why did you say those things to me yesterday?” Fu Chengyan clearly had everything under control, so there was no need for him to behave that way yesterday.

Fu Jiayu bit her lip. “I got it, Yan. Thank you!” If it weren’t for that slip-up from back then, she wouldn’t have worked with Fu Renjiang, but the latter had unfortunately blackmailed her with it. “But how did you do it?”

“You don’t need to know that. Just make sure it doesn’t happen again,” Fu Chengyan replied while gazing coldly at her. “Cheng An is still young. He needs a complete family.”

Fu Jiayu’s heart trembled slightly, but she understood this was the most Fu Chengyan could do for her, and this was certainly enough.

Fu Jiayu had made many mistakes when she was young and ignorant, but the girl didn’t expect that Fu Renjiang would use them against her. “So you told me all that yesterday just to get me to face off against Fu Renjiang?”

“He wouldn’t have burned his boats if you didn’t,” Fu Chengyan smiled.

“But he still has Shengyuan’s shares. If he and his other accomplices were to sell them off, Shengyuan would be under the control of others!”

If Fu Jiayu could consider this, how could Fu Chengyan not? “They’re in my hands!”

“What?”

“He immediately gave up his shares last night and acted faster than I had expected!” Fu Chengyan said with a smile. “Alright, I’ve given you what you want, so see to it however you wish!”

Fu Chengyan made it clear that it was time for her to leave. Since Fu Jiayu had already gotten what she wanted most, she naturally didn’t stay any longer. When the girl walked to the door, she stopped for a moment. “Yan, let me know if you ever need anything. I’ll surely help you.”

Fu Chengyan smiled but said nothing.

Shi Nuan received a phone call from Shi Yunsheng just as she got off work. She was rather surprised to see his number. “Grandpa?”

“Nuan, are you done with work?” Shi Yunsheng’s old man voice came through. “I want to see you.”

Shi Nuan pursed her lips and looked at the time. “Now?”

“Yes. I haven’t seen you for quite a few days, and I miss you. I know it’s not good for you to come over. Your parents… sigh!” Shi Yunsheng couldn’t help but let out a sigh. “Let’s meet up!”

“OK!” Shi Nuan nodded. “Then let’s meet at Ruyi Tea House!” Shi Nuan and a friend had opened the tea house. Back then, Shi Nuan merely bought some shares, but she no longer had much to do with it as the business picked up.

After deciding on the venue, Shi Nuan gave Fu Chengyan a call. “It’s me!”

Fu Chengyan was just about to get off work and was surprised to receive a call from Shi Nuan. “Hmm? What’s up?”

“I may be back a little late. My grandpa wants to meet me.” Shi Nuan felt a little bad. It was Song Rongrong yesterday, and today she had to meet her grandfather. “He probably has something to tell me.”
