Regretful Beijing Marriage

The words fell as coldly as icicles.

The atmosphere in the entryway was reduced to a freezing point.

Fu Jiayu instinctively shrank behind Fu Chengxuan, his little head hanging low.

His little hand secretly tugged at Fu Chengxuan's clothes.

He was gestured to speak.

Fu Chengxuan was both angry and flustered.

This little thing knows how to get away quickly when it gets into trouble.

When something goes wrong, they push him out to take the fall.

But he had no choice but to bite the bullet and take on the challenge.

In the living room, Fu Huaiyan's slender fingers tapped silently on the sofa.

His deep eyes were covered with a layer of frost.

He didn't directly express his anger, but his voice was so cold that no one dared to look up.

"Check the young master's travel records and surveillance footage."

"don't want!"

Fu Jiayu and Fu Chengxuan spoke in unison.

Fu Huaiyan looked over.

His expression was calm, yet it carried an extremely strong sense of intimidation.

Fu Jiayu's psychological defenses were broken down.

Her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

He jogged up to Fu Huaiyan, grabbed his leg tightly, and begged for mercy with a sob in his voice.

"Dad, I was wrong! I secretly ran away to see Mom tonight..."

He looked up with his flushed face, quickly covered his forehead, and cried out weakly.

"I caught a chill and have had a low-grade fever ever since. My mom has already taken me to the hospital."

"Dad, my head hurts so much right now, I want to go upstairs to sleep..."

The voice grew softer and softer.

It reveals a guilty conscience.

Fu Huaiyan lowered his eyes and stared at Fu Jiayu without saying a word.

Seeing this, Fu Chengxuan reluctantly stepped forward to smooth things over.

"Brother, the child really does have a low-grade fever."

"When I went to pick him up, he had just finished his IV drip."

"He's been up all night and is feeling weak, let him go upstairs and rest first."

Fu Jiayu nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"Yes, Dad, I really wouldn't lie to you about something like this."

After a long while, Fu Huaiyan finally withdrew his deep gaze, his tone revealing neither joy nor anger.

"Take the young master upstairs to rest."

He paused, then said coldly.

"Those responsible for guarding the young master tonight, all of you shall go to the steward to receive your punishment."

"If this happens again, just pack your bags and leave."

All the servants in the room lowered their heads, and no one dared to utter a sound.

Fu Jiayu breathed a sigh of relief and obediently followed the maid upstairs.

Thank goodness Dad didn't press the matter further.

Soon, only Fu Huaiyan and Fu Chengxuan remained in the living room.

The atmosphere grew increasingly tense.

Fu Chengxuan quickly took out the documents, smiling apologetically, trying to wrap things up quickly.

"Brother, here are the documents you requested."

"Those old fogies on the board will definitely seize this opportunity to cause trouble tomorrow, so keep that in mind."

"I'm really sleepy, so I'm going back to my room now."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

Immediately afterwards, the cold voice from behind caught up slowly.

"Stop right there and explain yourself."

Fu Chengxuan's heart tightened, and he sighed.

It seems there's no escaping it today.

He dared not hide it any longer and simply told the whole story.

"Brother, when I went to the hospital to pick up the child tonight, Jiang Yining was with Zhou Xubai the whole time."

"Moreover, the two are behaving in perfect harmony, and judging from this, she probably wants Zhou Xubai to become Jiayu's stepfather!"

At this point, Fu Chengxuan became furious and said indignantly.

"I never expected this woman to be so cunning. Saying she didn't want children, wasn't she just subtly trying to get the child close to Zhou Xubai..."

Fu Chengxuan was still grumbling and complaining, completely unaware that the pressure around his older brother had plummeted to rock bottom.

A dark and surging murderous intent suddenly flashed in Fu Huaiyan's eyes.

It was smoothed out in an instant.

The chill that enveloped him was even more intense than before.

"Go back to your room."

Fu Chengxuan stopped abruptly, somewhat stunned.

Why is my brother suddenly so angry?

Fu Chengxuan quickly realized what was happening.

Yes, Fu Jiayu is the eldest brother's child.

Even if they divorce, Jiang Yining cannot take the child with her.

But this woman is now openly taking her child and lover out together.

Besides, judging from that brat's reaction just now, he didn't seem to be going against Zhou Xubai much.

Thinking about it this way, Fu Chengxuan was both angry and scared.

There is no possibility for the children of the Fu family to change their surname!

However, he dared not say these words again.

He hurried back to his room.

If the truth were to be told, the roof would probably be ripped off.

The following day, in the top-floor conference room of the Fu Group.

The atmosphere was tense and ready to fight.

It was so oppressive that it was suffocating.

After a long silence, a senior director spoke first.

"President Fu, we know you've had a tough time, but your recent performance has been hard to convince people."

"The group's performance has stagnated, and many projects have been lost in succession."

"Even the resort project, a key project, was mishandled, causing damage to the company and resulting in stock price volatility."

"If we can't produce results soon, the board of directors will probably have to reconsider the choice of president."

Upon hearing this, Fu Chengxuan immediately slammed his fist on the table in anger.

"Is that even human language you're talking about? My brother has worked tirelessly to support the entire group, while you've been reaping the benefits year after year. What right do you have to criticize him?"

"You all share in the profits of the resort, but my brother faces all the risks and crises alone, and he was even injured because of it!"

"Not only do you show no compassion, but you also use this opportunity to hold people accountable. You are simply unworthy of being part of the Fu family!"

His words made the elder's face turn red.

The others looked at each other, none daring to speak.

Fu Huaiyan, sitting in the main seat, lightly tapped the table with his fingertips.

He surveyed his surroundings, his gaze calm yet carrying an intense sense of oppression.

"Does anyone else have something to say? So the purpose of this meeting today is to publicly impeach me?"

These words startled everyone.

Their attitude immediately softened.

"Mr. Fu, you flatter me. Your abilities are evident to all!"

"However, the recent weak performance has understandably caused anxiety among everyone, so we still need to hold a meeting to explain..."

Everyone wiped their sweat.

They're not stupid.

They wouldn't actually move his position.

Fu Huaiyan's gaze turned slightly cold as he spoke again.

"So you want me to give you a reasonable explanation?"

The audience was silent.

No one dared to speak.

Fu Huaiyan has been in charge of the Fu family for many years.

He always keeps his word when it comes to what he does.

The methods were harsh.

Exceptional abilities.

Who dares to demand an explanation for what he did?

However, the group's interests have suffered one after another recently.

They also have to hold this meeting.

Seeing the silence in the room, Fu Huaiyan curled up a faint, cold smile.

"Since there's nothing more to say, let's adjourn the meeting."

Before he could finish speaking, an older director suddenly stood up and said firmly.

"Since no one is speaking up, I'll be the bad guy."

"President Fu! Today's meeting is for the long-term development of the group!"

"You've been in charge of the group for many years, and your actions have been too autocratic. You make all the decisions, big and small, on your own, never listening to the board's opinions and not giving others any room to maneuver!"

Fu Huaiyan didn't speak, but gave him a brief glance.

One glance was enough to make the man's expression freeze and cold sweat pour down his back.

In the ensuing stalemate, the man's gaze sharpened, and he gritted his teeth and spoke.

"President Fu, we know you are ruthless and will stop at nothing to achieve your goals."

"Everyone is afraid of you, but even so, I have to say, the company doesn't belong to you alone."

"The director who just proposed the plan a few days ago had an accident in the hospital last night. Mr. Fu, you must give us an explanation for this!"
