The Outcast Heiress's Secret Identities-Chapter 832: Gave him face on 0820-0821
Chapter 832: Gave him face on 0820-0821
The time quietly came to late night.
Su Ran raised her eyes and met the man’s nearly aggressive gaze, which made her heart skip a beat.
"Don’t like it? Then I’ll change..."
"I like it, call me that from now on."
"No,..."
...
Never trust Fu Qiyuan’s last chance again.
"..." Su Ran was at a loss for words.
Seeing herself almost losing half her life, while the man looked full of life, the fury in her heart surged up.
"Do you have the nerve to say that?"
The air was filled with an uncomfortable atmosphere, especially those who had just flattered too much, trying hard to minimize their presence, not daring to say anything more.
Fu Jinhan sat there gracefully, watching the scene unfold in front of him, his smile calm and unperturbed.
Chu Jian looked at Chu Xiyao’s ugly expression, knowing his daughter had been wronged today.
The Chu and Fu families had been close for generations, he did not expect Fu Qiyuan to actually break off cooperation with the Chu family and even turn faces.
Nor did he expect that he would humiliate their father-daughter pair so thoroughly.
For that woman, he has lost his sense of right and wrong, completely lost his mind!
Chu Jian’s face turned dark, he put down his chopsticks, looked grimly at Old Master Fu at the head of the table.
"Old Master, does your Fu family intend to openly disgrace my Chu family?"
Old Master Fu did indeed like Chu Xiyao very much and sincerely wanted to match her with Fu Qiyuan.
Today’s family gathering he invited the Chu family not only in the interest of two families’ friendship.
It was also to make up for the grievances Chu Xiyao had suffered.
In his view, Xiyao had liked Qi Yuan for so many years and waited for him for so long, they were destined to be together.
But in the end, Qi Yuan still let down her deep affection.
A girl, he understood her grievances and contributions.
Therefore, the Fu family was willing to make some compensation!
But that did not mean the Fu family was willing to accept baseless accusations.
Chu Jian’s words made Old Master Fu’s brows furrow slightly, his heart also a bit displeased.
"Nephew Chu, what do you mean by that?"
Chu Jian, full of anger, spoke straight to the point without beating around the bush:
"Old Master, I won’t say more. You surely know why I came today. The Chu and Fu families have been good friends for generations, Xiyao and Qi Yuan have grown up together, my Chu family has already regarded him as a future son-in-law. In my view, the two families are bound to become one family sooner or later."
Hearing this, Old Master Fu’s expression eased slightly, with a bit of emotion in his heart.
Chu Jian, seeing this, continued:
"But now, what is this supposed to mean? He took a woman back from outside without a word, what will become of our Xiyao? How will others view her?"
Old Master Fu glanced at Chu Xiyao with some regret:
"Indeed, the Fu family has let down Xiyao."
Chu Jian’s face showed a hint of sarcasm, his tone was cold.
"Xiyao is not capable enough. She has been properly behaved since childhood, later focused solely on family business. Compared to those who are cunning and deep-minded, she naturally lacks some calculation and means. Yet, there’s a saying, good intentions remain even if business fails, our two companies have cooperated well over the years, peacefully."
"But now? The Fu family first unilaterally breaches the contract, refusing the Chu family’s brand from entering Global Mall, and now continuously withdraws from several collaborations. Old Master, those cooperation cases were signed by you with me personally, suddenly terminating them, isn’t this slapping the Chu family in the face?"
Old Master Fu glanced at Fu Qiyuan who was serving Su Ran, then said:
"This matter was indeed mishandled by the Fu family."
Fu Qixiu frowned deeply at these words, just about to speak when Old Master Fu’s sharp eyes glared over.
His throat choked, feeling somewhat ridiculous inside.
Is this the Chu family’s purpose?
Bypassing his brother to complain to the old master?
Moreover, how cowardly is the Fu family? And how powerful is the Chu family?
The Chu family father and daughter repeatedly stirred things up, Grandpa not only doesn’t mind, but even sides with them.
Do they really think his brother has no temper?
Enough of this!
Fu Qixiu glanced at Fu Qiyuan without showing any emotion, found his elder brother indifferent, slightly raised his eyebrows and remained silent.
Old Master Fu’s slightly ’weak’ tone improved Chu Jian’s mood considerably.
He meaningfully glanced at Fu Qiyuan, earnestly said:
"Qi Yuan is young but always steady, if it weren’t for someone instigating him, he wouldn’t have done such confused things. Old Master, young people sometimes act emotionally, they need your guidance and supervision!"
Chu Jian was skilled in communication, knowing exactly how to divert attention.
If he blindly criticized and blamed Fu Qiyuan, it might displease the old master.
But bringing up outside manipulation made it different!
As head of the Fu family and person in charge of Fu Consortium, Old Master surely didn’t want to see his most promising grandson overvaluing a woman.
Sure enough, hearing Chu Jian’s words, Old Master Fu’s expression changed slightly.
Chu Xiyao, seeing this, slyly glanced at Su Ran.
The Fu and Chu families have been good friends for a century, why would they tear faces over a woman?
Even if Qi Yuan wanted to, Grandpa and the Fu family wouldn’t agree!
She wanted Su Ran to know that in the face of absolute power and background, some grievances must be endured even if unwilling!
Chu Jian caught the expressions of Old Master Fu, his eyes darkened, saying:
"However, this affair has really damaged the relationship between the two families. Over such a trivial matter, completely disregarding the families’ friendship, there are many who wish to partner with the Chu family, and the Chu family is not necessarily bound to cooperate only with the Fu family."
By the end, Chu Jian’s tone held a hint of displeasure.
The Fu family’s people, hearing this, started whispering amongst themselves.
Even Old Master Fu’s face grew serious.
The Fu family was indeed strong, but faced many internal and external issues, making them the target of many.
He wholeheartedly wanted to bind the Fu and Chu families through marriage, aiming for a powerful alliance.
The Fu family was not afraid of the Chu family, but letting others control the Chu family was not good for the Fu family.
And the future of Chu family was destined to be managed by Chu Xiyao!
After a long while, just as the old master was about to speak, a light indifferent voice suddenly sounded without any fluctuations.
"Really?"
Everyone looked up at the sound, seeing Fu Qiyuan put the de-boned fish in Su Ran’s bowl, then lightly raised his eyes to look at Chu Jian opposite.
"Indeed, the Fu family does not necessarily need to cooperate only with the Chu family!"
Hearing this, Chu Jian narrowed his eyes, his tone cold.
"What do you mean?"
Fu Qiyuan, without looking at him, gently watched Su Ran eating.
Being so directly ignored, Chu Jian’s face instantly darkened.
Just as he was about to speak, his phone in his bag rang without warning.
He took out his phone, saw his assistant calling, and answered the call despite his temper.
Without waiting for him to speak, an anxious and panicky voice came through from the other end.
"President Chu, it’s bad, something happened..."
Chu Jian felt a bad premonition, "What happened?"
"The project... The Fu family terminated all ongoing projects with our company..."
"Bang——"
The phone in Chu Jian’s hand dropped in response.
He suddenly looked up at the man opposite, his eyes red with rage.
"Fu Qiyuan!!"
