The Outcast Heiress's Secret Identities-Chapter 835 - 0824 saves me the trouble of taking action again
Chapter 835: 0824 saves me the trouble of taking action again
Chu Jian furrowed his brow slightly, clearly considering this issue as well.
Chu Xiyao glanced at him cautiously, hesitating:
"Dad, should we talk to Uncle..."
Before she could finish, Chu Jian’s face suddenly darkened.
The anger on his face was now mixed with a coldness that he couldn’t hide.
Seeing this, Chu Xiyao quickly added, "As the head of the Chu family, it’s only right for Uncle to know if the company has problems. I’m just worried about people gossiping."
Upon hearing this, Chu Jian’s expression gradually softened, but that coldness still lingered.
"No need."
"But Dad..."
"Enough. Don’t worry about this matter. I have other things to take care of. You can go now," Chu Jian cut her off, clearly not wanting to hear anything more.
Chu Xiyao nodded reluctantly, stood up from the sofa, and left the study.
Chu Jian sat on the sofa motionless, his expression unreadable.
The study was silent, so quiet that he could hear the rustling outside the window.
After a long time, he suddenly looked up, a deep understanding in his dark eyes.
He took out his phone and entered a website, found a number, and dialed it. freeweɓnovel~cѳm
Two seconds later, the call was connected.
"Help me investigate someone."
On the other side.
After returning to her room, Chu Xiyao’s face immediately fell.
She didn’t understand the entanglements between her father and her uncle; she only knew that she couldn’t lose the Chu family’s support right now.
Fu Qiyuan had always been indifferent to everyone. Even after all these years by his side, he had never looked at her differently.
To be his equal, to be able to carry the title of Fu Family’s Madam, she had endured so much hardship from a young age.
To resonate with him on a spiritual level, she learned everything he liked and was interested in, even undergoing all those harsh trainings.
But even so, she couldn’t compare to Qin Feng next to him.
She didn’t dare to compare who was more important to him, her or Qin Feng.
But they shared the same background, the same interests, and everyone saw them as a perfect match.
She thought he would eventually go with the flow and choose her.
Never did she expect Su Ran to suddenly appear.
And this woman immediately took over his heart and mind.
So now, she couldn’t afford to lose the Chu family, which had always been her backing!
If she lost the Chu family, how would she differ from the penniless Su Ran?
How could she compete with her for Qi Yuan?!
She couldn’t lose the Chu family!
Absolutely not!
She turned sideways and took out a business card from her bag, her gaze firm as she looked at the number on it!

In a villa across the ocean, the sunset swept over the sea horizon, filling the entire villa with an orange glow through the glass windows.
In the study on the second floor, a large floor-to-ceiling window came into view.
Outside the window, the golden light and the blue sky and sea merged.
Inside, a refined and graceful figure sat under a bright lamp, his face clearly visible in the light.
He was elegant and poised, like a gentleman.
Time seemed to have left little trace on him, gifting him with a unique, steady, and restrained charm.
The desk was cluttered with various documents, which formed a stark contrast to him, yet seemed completely natural.
"Knock, knock, knock."
The door of the study was knocked.
"Come in."
The man did not lift his head, just responded lightly.
As the words fell, the door of the study was pushed open, and in walked a tall and upright man, looking like an assistant.
"Master."
The man slowly raised his head, his gentle gaze making the air chill.
The assistant quickly bowed his head and said, "Half of the domestic projects have been forced to terminate. The few cooperation cases in Second Master’s hands have also mostly halted. Many partners’ attitudes are unclear, and without a large influx of funds, it will be difficult to salvage the situation."
The man leaned back in his chair, his expression unreadable. "Oh? Who initiated this?"
The assistant respectfully replied in a low voice, "Eldest Young Master of the Fu family."
"That boy from the Fu family?"
"Yes."
The study fell into an eerie silence, not a sound to be heard.
One could even hear faint breathing.
After a long pause, a low chuckle suddenly came from the air.
"Well done, saves me the trouble of taking action!"
The assistant dared not make a sound, burying his head even lower.
Although the words were calm, he could sense a chilling coldness in them.
The man spoke again, "What’s the reason?"
The assistant quickly replied, "Second Master’s previous mistake caused significant loss to the Fu family during a collaboration, after which the Fu family severed a few partnerships. But Second Master thought those partnerships were insignificant and didn’t take it to heart.
At Second Lady’s birthday banquet, her niece offended Eldest Young Master of the Fu family, so..."
The man’s tone was indifferent, "Insignificant things are often the deadliest."
The assistant said nothing, just instinctively held his breath.
"I’m curious to know what kind of person could make the highly-regarded Kirin Child of the Fu family take such drastic measures."
The man’s words were tinged with mockery, but it wasn’t hard to hear his appreciation for Fu Qiyuan.
The assistant glanced at him cautiously, and said softly:
"Master seems to think highly of Eldest Young Master of the Fu family?"
The man’s gaze grew distant, his tone wistful, "That boy is a wolf, a pity..."
A pity he had no daughter!
If he had a daughter, he would undoubtedly marry her to him!
That boy had extraordinary means and was clearly destined for greatness.
The man redirected his gaze to the documents, his tone indifferent, "No need to worry about domestic matters!"
"What about Second Master..."
"My brother is so self-assured. I’d like to see how capable he truly is! Notify everyone to watch and see!"
"...Yes."
The assistant felt a chill inside, took a deep breath, and left the study.

After leaving the old Fu family residence, Su Ran and Fu Qiyuan first took Tao Wanqing to the old lady’s villa.
Back then, when the old lady divorced the old man, Fu Qiyuan’s father nominally stayed with his mother.
However, being the legitimate eldest son of the Fu family, he had many responsibilities and was often away, with little time to be by the old lady’s side.
Fortunately, his daughter-in-law had a good relationship with her, often accompanying her and making up for the lost time.
Su Ran had seen harmonious relationships between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law before, but the rapport between these two was eye-opening.
As the beloved daughter-in-law, Tao Wanqing began expressing her longing as soon as she saw the old lady.
The old lady feigned annoyance, but a smile never left her lips.
Even with the old lady’s two most cherished grandsons and their wives standing in front of her, she didn’t spare them a glance.
She only had eyes and heart for her daughter-in-law!
Su Ran looked at the man beside her, somewhat bewildered.
"Grandma and Mom have always been this close?"
So close that everyone else seemed superfluous.
Fu Qiyuan’s expression turned serious as he earnestly warned:
"You should keep your distance from them in the future, understand?"
Su Ran was puzzled, "Why?"
