QT: The Rescue Of The Miserable Bigshots-Chapter 229 - 8.16

"What? You mean Jiang Jiamian moved into Fu Yanchen’s villa? What kind of nonsense is that?! The future brothers-in-law living in the same house... if word gets out, people will laugh themselves sick!"

The news of Jiang Jiamian moving into Fu Yanchen’s villa soon reached Mr. Fu’s ears. And naturally, the one who told him was none other than Fu Xiaoyuan.

Fu Xiaoyuan was secretly happy but wore a concerned expression as he said, "Dad, don’t be angry. Maybe Jiang Jiamian was after our family background all along. When he saw that I didn’t like him, he turned around and seduced my older brother. In my opinion, we should cancel the engagement. Dad, you wouldn’t want someone so shameless like him to join the Fu family, right?"

He had originally planned to find a way to trick Jiang Jiamian into making a mistake so he could use it as an excuse to cancel the engagement.

But then his father reminded him that even if Jiang Jiamian didn’t exist, there would be someone else to take his place. So, he had to put the idea aside.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Jiamian committed suicide all on his own and even went to live with Fu Yanchen! Isn’t this a perfect excuse to cancel the engagement?

This way, if the engagement was called off, outsiders would only blame Jiang Jiamian for being indecent, rather than him, Fu Xiaoyuan, for having another lover.

Old Master Fu’s suspicious eyes fell on Fu Xiaoyuan, as if he were trying to see through him. After a long silence, he asked coldly, "Did you do something to cause this?"

He remembered clearly that last time, in order to cancel the engagement, Fu Xiaoyuan had this kind of idea.

And he wasn’t blind. He could see that the Jiang family’s boy had real feelings for Xiaoyuan. A bit foolish perhaps, but sincere. Otherwise, why would he go to confront Tang Tang again and again?

How could someone who loved his second son so deeply suddenly move into his eldest son’s villa?

"No!"

Fu Xiaoyuan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head hard. "It was his own idea. I don’t know what he’s thinking."

If he hadn’t been keeping an eye on Fu Yanchen, he wouldn’t have known either.

Old Master Fu’s gaze remained sharp, making Fu Xiaoyuan feel immense pressure. "So what do you want to do now? Make a big fuss about this matter, and use this as an opportunity to find faults with Jiang Jiamian to cancel the engagement?"

Fu Xiaoyuan’s heart jumped. He hadn’t expected Old Master Fu to see through his plan so easily.

Yes, not only did he want to cancel the engagement, he wanted to drag Fu Yanchen down with it. After all, having a scandalous relationship with his future brother-in-law won’t bring a good reputation.

"I suggest you give up that idea right now!"

Old Master Fu suddenly shouted, startling Fu Xiaoyuan, "I don’t care what you’re scheming. If you dare to do anything that damages the Fu family’s reputation, I won’t stand by and watch. Fu Yanchen is part of the Fu family. And Jiang Jiamian is still the Fu family’s future son-in-law. Use your brain to think about it. If you make a fuss about this matter, you’ll be the one dragging the reputation of the Fu family through the mud!"

Fu Xiaoyuan, startled and flustered, quickly lowered his head under his father’s cold glare. "I understand, Dad. But... Jiang Jiamian... he’s already done this. He disregarded the Fu family’s face and mine. Do you still plan to keep him as your son-in-law?"

Old Master Fu glanced down at the teacup in his hand, his expression unreadable, "Of course not. But now is not the time to cancel the engagement. There’s an upcoming project that requires cooperation with the Jiang family. If we go with another partner, the cost will rise significantly. The Jiang family is also eager to please us. And now, with Jiang Jiamian staying in your brother’s villa, Mr. Jiang will have to make a choice. The Fu family has options. The Jiang family does not."

"I understand, Dad."

Fu Xiaoyuan nodded, suddenly feeling at ease. It seemed that it was only a matter of time before the engagement would be canceled, though it was a pity he couldn’t use this incident to ruin Fu Yanchen and Jiang Jiamian.

"Brother Fu, are you out? Did your father make things difficult for you?"

Tang Tang had been waiting not far from the Fu family’s old house. The moment he saw Fu Xiaoyuan come out, he quickly approached him.

Wearing a soft, concerned smile, he looked eager to hear the results.

When he first heard that Jiang Jiamian had moved into Fu Yanchen’s villa, he was shocked for a long time.

In his memories of his previous life, Jiang Jiamian, though engaged to Fu Xiaoyuan, had almost no interaction with Fu Yanchen.

It wasn’t until a banquet months later that Jiang Jiamian plotted against him and drugged his wine, causing him to stumble, unconscious, into Fu Yanchen’s lounge. Afterwards, for the sake of reputation, he had been forced to marry Fu Yanchen.

But Fu Yanchen believed he’d been deliberately seduced and had his reputation tarnished.

He pretended to accept the marriage, then humiliated Tang Tang on their wedding night, kicked him out, and ruined his name.

Tang Tang could never forget how he’d died in that past life, but he didn’t know whether Fu Yanchen had ever discovered what Jiang Jiamian had done and taken revenge.

But this time, he would do the opposite.

This time, he’d be the one to push Jiang Jiamian toward Fu Yanchen, this madman. freёweɓnovel_com

Let him see what it felt like to seduce a lunatic.

But that was all supposed to happen during Old Master Fu’s birthday banquet.

He had been carefully preparing everything.

It was still too soon!

Why had Jiang Jiamian suddenly gone to Fu Yanchen of his own accord? Could it be... pushing him down the stairs had really changed how he felt about Fu Xiaoyuan?

Did he give up?

A thousand questions filled Tang Tang’s mind. He wanted Jiang Jiamian to leave Fu Xiaoyuan, but not like this, this unpredictable change could ruin his entire plan.

What good was knowing the future if it no longer unfolded the same way?

But then, Tang Tang’s eyes lit up.

No! This might be even better!

Jiang Jiamian, Fu Xiaoyuan’s fiance, staying with Fu Yanchen? How could people not find that suspicious?

No matter what excuse he had, this situation could not be explained cleanly!

But Tang Tang’s hopeful expression dimmed when he saw Fu Xiaoyuan sigh and shake his head. "My dad won’t let me expose it. However, he has agreed to cancel the engagement, but he has to complete the cooperation with the Jiang family first. The Fu family can earn a substantial profit from this."

Tang Tang was stunned, his brows furrowing. He was unhappy with the outcome, but forced himself to smile.

"It’s okay, Brother Fu. As long as you love me, I love you too. Even if we can’t marry right now, I’m willing to wait. I believe someday, heaven will give us a chance to be together."

"Tang Tang... I’ve wronged you."

Fu Xiaoyuan couldn’t bear his soft, aggrieved tone and gently pulled him into his arms.

"Don’t worry, Tang Tang. Once the deal with the Jiang family is done, I’ll have the engagement called off immediately."

Tang Tang nodded gently in his arms. "Well, I believe you."

In this life, he would never let Jiang Jiamian take Fu Xiaoyuan away.

And Jiang Jiamian would pay the price.

He went to Fu Yanchen himself, didn’t he?

Then he could deal with the consequences.

Let him experience firsthand what it meant to marry a madman.

After all... he brought it on himself.
