The Outcast Heiress's Secret Identities-Chapter 834 - 0823 She is my last line of defense

That answer almost drove Old Master Fu to a fit.

"You... where did all my words go just now? No matter what happened, we should forget about Yuxin! And what does this have to do with the Chu family? You turn everything upside down over little matters, without any regard for the face of both families."

Qi Yuan looked at Old Master Fu indifferently, "When have I ever said that I care about face?"

Upon hearing this, Old Master Fu’s chest heaved in anger.

"I think you’ve simply lost your mind. For a woman, you would even..."

"For her, I can renounce all my family ties!!" Qi Yuan’s sharp voice cut off the Old Master’s next words.

Old Master Fu’s eyes widened in disbelief.

He couldn’t believe that as the person in charge of the Fu family, his always satisfactory heir since childhood, would now say such things.

Emotions as taboo!

His most proud grandson was ultimately ruined by emotions.

"You... you have truly gone mad, completely bewitched."

Qi Yuan looked at the person seated at the main seat, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"She is my final bottom line."

With that, he stood up from his seat, his tall figure towering over, his cold deep eyes sweeping over everyone without a trace of warmth.

The words he uttered were exceptionally cold.

"Before you touch her, you better measure the ruthlessness of your own hand first!"

The large dining hall fell into deadly silence!

Everyone was so terrified by the frightening atmosphere that their hearts almost stopped.

Qi Xiu held his breath, not daring to breathe loudly.

It was rare to see his brother truly angry!

His brother rarely got angry, whether in the company or with major events happening, he always remained calm.

Just one look was enough to terrify everyone.

Such an outward expression of anger was indeed the first time.

Just when everyone felt like they couldn’t breathe, Qi Yuan’s voice rang out again, "Are you full?"

Almost the moment his voice echoed, the pressure that could freeze souls suddenly disappeared throughout the dining hall.

The cold, severe gaze that seemed capable of freezing souls vanished without a trace the second he looked at the girl.

The atmosphere suddenly brightened.

Su Ran nodded, speaking casually, "I’m full."

Qi Yuan bent over, took away the napkin she placed on her knees, and held her hand.

"Let’s go."

Su Ran didn’t say much, holding the man’s hand as they got up and walked towards the door together. free𝑤ebnovel.com

At the restaurant door, Su Ran stopped her pace, and Qi Yuan followed her lead to stop.

"Housekeeper Cao."

Housekeeper Cao heard the call and quickly lowered his head in fear, "Eldest Young Master, Eldest Young Madam."

Su Ran looked at him, "Was the chef changed today?"

Housekeeper Cao quickly replied, "No, Eldest Young Madam, was there something wrong with the food?"

Su Ran nodded, "There was a soup."

"Which soup was it?"

"Longan Red Date and Yam Soup."

Housekeeper Cao was stunned.

Su Ran, as if not seeing his expression, said plainly:

"It tastes odd, don’t serve it anymore, get rid of it!"

Housekeeper Cao covertly glanced at Chu Xiyao not far away and replied:

"Yes."

Su Ran nodded, holding Qi Yuan’s hand because they left the Fu family.

Chu Xiyao’s hands, placed on her knees, clenched into fists, veins bulging on the back of her hands, her face looking grim and unpleasant.

That woman...

That woman was utterly provoking her!

She was so angry that she gritted her teeth, her body trembling uncontrollably.

They would see!

Chu Jian’s expression wasn’t much better, especially after being humiliated in front of the Fu family again and again today. The fire of anger in his heart was uncontrollable.

He gloomily glanced at everyone, then left the Fu family angrily with Chu Xiyao.

Fu Jinhan was still sitting gracefully at his spot, watching Chu Xiyao leave, his lips carrying a gentle smile like a spring breeze.

-

As the Head of the Fu family, no one dared to defy Qi Yuan’s orders.

Chu Jian now profoundly realized who actually ruled the Fu family.

Due to the Fu family’s cessation of all ongoing projects, the Chu family’s other projects also stalled within an afternoon.

No matter how many phone calls he made to negotiate, it was to no avail.

Seeing the Fu family lead the stoppage, many collaborators followed suit, causing several profitable projects in the company to halt, resulting in severe losses.

Chu family.

Chu Jian smashed most of the study room, furious as steam.

"Fine, Qi Yuan is very fine indeed!"

Chu Xiyao sat on the sofa, worried, her face showing deep concern.

She didn’t expect Qi Yuan to be so heartless, causing the Chu family great loss for a woman.

She also underestimated that woman’s capability, actually bewildering Qi Yuan so deeply.

But she wasn’t overly worried, apart from temporarily capturing Qi Yuan’s heart, what else did that woman have?

No family background, no status, even Grandpa Fu would never easily let her into the Fu family’s door.

As for Qi Yuan...

Men inevitably crave novelty!

Having a liking for new things is normal; once the novelty wears off, he would return to the family sooner or later.

Now the most important thing was how to help the Chu family through this temporary crisis.

Some accounts could be settled later!

Just then, a familiar ringtone resounded, and Chu Xiyao answered the call impatiently.

"What is it?"

Whatever the caller said made her already annoyed expression more gloomy.

"Got it."

After hanging up, Chu Jian’s mood also eased slightly, he sat in his office chair and asked Chu Xiyao:

"Company call?"

Chu Xiyao sighed, "Yes, two more projects have been halted."

Chu Jian was furious, "Ridiculous!"

He swept everything off his desk onto the floor, his eyes slightly red with rage, he stood and walked to Chu Xiyao’s side.

"No, that woman’s influence is too significant, she absolutely can’t enter the Fu family’s door."

Chu Xiyao’s eyes flashed sharply, "She’s not worthy."

Chu Jian’s expression was grave, "Better to be cautious, you saw today’s situation, Qi Yuan has been completely bewitched by that woman, today he broke off cooperation with the Chu family for her, he might do something even more extreme! We’ve invested so much, always groomed you as the future mistress of the Fu family, how can we allow someone else to benefit now."

Chu Xiyao’s mood was dark, biting her lips silently.

"You need to put more effort into Grandpa Fu, he liked you since you were young and regarded you as his designated granddaughter-in-law, as long as he doesn’t approve, that woman won’t easily enter the Fu family’s door. Once you have the old man in hand, don’t worry Qi Yuan won’t obediently marry you.

When that happens, not just the Fu family, even the Chu family, wouldn’t you do as you please!"

A trace of disdain flashed in Chu Xiyao’s eyes, whether the Chu family or the Fu family, was never what she truly wanted.

The only thing she desired was to become that man’s wife!

"Got it, Dad, but how should we resolve the company’s issues now?"
