Chapter 28 The Fu family is her source of confidence
"Mr. Fu, what brings you to our Xie family?" Old Master Xie slowly stood up, holding his cane, his eyes fixed intently on Fu Shiyue.
He was always straightforward and never hid his thoughts. Fu Shiyue's gaze fell directly on Xie Zhiyi, who was standing to the side, and then he said, "Today, I came to the Xie family for Zhiyi."
This statement was concise and clear, directly stating his purpose without any beating around the bush. Everyone present was secretly surprised upon hearing this. Xie Zhiyi was especially astonished; she stared wide-eyed at Fu Shiyue, seemingly unable to believe what she had just heard.
"I want to marry her," he said.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Xie's expression turned extremely ugly: "President Fu, marriage is a major life event. You've only met Zhiyi once, and you're already acting so impulsively?"
Fu Shiyue raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile, "I know very well what I am doing, Elder Xie, there is no need to worry."
He stepped forward, meeting Grandpa Xie's gaze directly, his eyes firm and unwavering. "I fell in love with Zhiyi at first sight. She is the one I have been searching for. I believe we will be happy together."
Xie Zhiyi's heart raced involuntarily. She felt Fu Shiyue's sincerity and determination, and a ripple of emotion stirred within her.
Fu Shiyue turned to look at Xie Zhiyi, his eyes filled with tenderness that seemed to melt everything. "Zhiyi, will you marry me?"
"I am willing to offer the entire Fu family as my dowry; the Fu family is all she has to rely on!" These words exploded like a thunderclap in the crowd, instantly silencing the once bustling scene. All eyes, as if drawn by a magnet, were fixed on Xie Zhiyi, awaiting her response.
However, Xie Zhiyi simply stood there quietly, without saying a word.
Time ticked by, and whispers began to circulate among the crowd, speculating about her thoughts. Just then, Old Master Xie, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke up: "President Fu, it seems Zhiyi doesn't have this intention, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xie Zhiyi's gentle yet firm voice interrupted him: "I'm willing to marry you." These four words, like heavenly music, echoed in the air, stunning everyone present. President Fu's face lit up with ecstatic joy; he tightly grasped Xie Zhiyi's hand, his eyes filled with deep affection and promise.
The old man was also surprised when he saw her, but she calmly said, "Grandpa, actually, when we were at the hospital last time, Mr. Fu fell in love with me at first sight, and when I first saw him, I also..."
"We actually got to know each other better over time, and Shi Yue was very good to me."
The rest of the sentence was left unsaid, but everyone present understood.
However, in Xie Zhiyi's view, this was just an agreement between her and Fu Shiyue. She was simply exchanging her marriage for everything at DW, and at the same time, she also needed to gain a foothold in the company.
Fu Shiyue stared at the person in front of him, a complex emotion welling up in his heart. Xie Zhiyi and Xie Shiyun seemed to be the rebirth of the same person.
He was taken aback, his gaze lingering on her face, but every detail convinced him that it was more than just a coincidence. Similar eyebrows, the shape of her eyes, the curve of her lips—she was like a mirror image of him.
Her gaze slowly turned to him, as if time itself had slowed down. He stared at her, and when he saw Xie Zhiyi's face, he was stunned, a strange sense of familiarity welling up inside him.
It felt as if they had met once in the long course of time, but had been forgotten by the years. He tried hard to recall, attempting to grasp even a trace of that memory, but everything remained blurry.
However, at that moment, he suddenly realized that this sense of familiarity did not come from past memories, but rather from an indescribable emotional resonance deep within his heart.
"Fu Shiyue, are you truly serious about marrying my sister? Or do you have ulterior motives?" Xie Lianzhou stepped forward, meeting Fu Shiyue's gaze.
Xie Lianzhou was also quite surprised by this situation. He had heard of Fu Shiyue, the decisive and powerful business tycoon who was going to marry her sister. He was also aware of his methods.
He really didn't want to provoke him.
But now that he's going to marry Xie Zhiyi, his sister will now have the Fu family to rely on...
"If I had her, I would only want her."
Xie Lianzhou: "......."
"Mr. Xie, besides the generous gift from the Fu family, I also specially sent someone to transfer the rest of the gifts to Zhiyi's name. By the way, some more gifts will be delivered later, please accept them with gratitude," Fu Shiyue said respectfully to Mr. Xie.
At this moment, faced with this situation, Old Master Xie was speechless.
Now that things have come to this, everything seems to be set in stone. Last night, Zhiyi didn't come home all night, which actually foreshadowed the final answer.
She gripped Fu Shiyue's clothes tightly, her expression flustered as she pulled him quickly toward the garden. However, when they reached the center of the garden, she suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked him straight in the eye, her tone carrying a hint of dissatisfaction and accusation: "Why didn't you inform me beforehand when you made this decision?"
Fu Shiyue looked at her quietly, his eyes shining with determination. He said softly, "I don't want to wait any longer." His voice was calm and steady, but it contained an unwavering resolve.
She couldn't help but feel confused and uneasy, because sometimes, when she met Fu Shiyue's gaze, she felt as if his eyes were piercing through her, as if he were looking at someone else entirely. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and continued, "Have you considered that if you suddenly bring this up today, my grandfather might not be able to handle it? His last hospitalization already terrified me, don't you know that?"
Fu Shiyue listened to her silently, his hand gently resting on her shoulder, offering her some comfort. A hint of guilt and helplessness flickered in his eyes as he said softly, "I understand your worries, and I know it was wrong of me not to inform you beforehand, for which I am deeply sorry. But please believe me, I did this after careful consideration, with my own reasons."
She listened, her tone tinged with sarcasm: "It seems I really can't understand President Fu's methods."
After saying that, she turned to leave, but he grabbed her arm: "Our agreement still stands." Then, he released her hand.
An agreement? When Xie Zhiyi heard him mention an agreement, she certainly hadn't forgotten it, but a hint of helplessness lingered in her heart.
"I haven't forgotten, thank you for reminding me, Mr. Fu."
Then, she left Fu Shiyue alone.
Meanwhile, on the balcony of the upstairs room, Xie Lianzhou stood quietly, his gaze fixed intently on the garden below.
There, two people were standing together talking, but because of the distance, he couldn't hear what they were saying.
Xie Lianzhou looked thoughtful, his lips pressed tightly together and his brows furrowed slightly.
He knew perfectly well that this situation was disadvantageous to him, and he had to find a way to change it. His eyes revealed a firmness and determination, as if silently telling himself that he could not sit idly by and wait for his doom.
A gentle breeze brushed his face, bringing a refreshing feeling, but his heart was filled with anxiety and unease. He quietly observed the two people's actions and expressions, trying to decipher some information from them.
However, their conversation did not seem to be going well, which made Xie Lianzhou feel increasingly heavy-hearted.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He knew that in this situation, impulsiveness and haste would only make things worse. He needed to think calmly and find a suitable solution.
If Zhiyi can establish herself at DW, and if Grandpa also values his sister, then everything will belong to Xie Zhiyi.
He didn't hate his sister, but all he wanted was these rights and status, things he couldn't afford to lose!
Then, he picked up his phone and dialed a number.
That person was none other than Fu Shiyue's younger brother, Fu Shiling.
"What? Has Mr. Xie changed his mind and decided to cooperate with me?"
"That's right, I've made up my mind."
A burst of laughter came from the other end of the phone, seemingly satisfied with the result.
So now, the real show begins.
About to start
