Chapter 98 is a lie.
She lay quietly in bed, her face pale.
In my dream, I was wearing a pure white dress and walking down a long corridor.
A light mist hung in the air, and the lighting was dim and ambiguous.
The carpet beneath my feet was as soft as a cloud, yet every step felt like walking on cotton, utterly powerless.
As they walked, a huge carved door appeared ahead.
She slowly reached out and pushed the door open, revealing a luxurious hall with dazzling crystal chandeliers.
A man stood in the center of the hall, his back tall and imposing. Her heart suddenly raced; she wanted to approach but couldn't move her feet.
The man slowly turned around, revealing a cold and handsome face. It was Fu Shiyue, whom she had been longing for but could not contact.
He looked at her coldly, a mocking smile playing on his lips. She opened her mouth to say something, but her throat seemed to be blocked, and no sound came out.
At this moment, the surrounding scenery began to distort, and the man's figure became blurry. She struggled desperately to grab him, but everything slipped through her fingers like quicksand.
She suddenly woke up from the bed and sat up, panting heavily, her eyes filled with fear and confusion, tears streaming down her face without her noticing.
“Huanhuan, you’re finally awake…” Li Hui suddenly stood up, staring at the person on the bed with a worried expression, her hands unconsciously twisting together.
Upon learning that it was just a nightmare, Xu Qinghuan let out a soft sigh of relief, but her body still trembled uncontrollably.
She slowly lay down, her eyes blankly staring at the white ceiling, tears streaming silently down her cheeks like a burst dam.
"Mom, my child... is he really gone?"
Her voice was so weak it seemed it would dissipate in the air with a gust of wind, and her once rosy lips were now bloodless, revealing endless sorrow and despair in their slight opening and closing.
Hearing this, Li Hui lowered her head, unable to look directly into Huanhuan's pained eyes, and softly comforted her:
"Huanhuan, you're still so young, you'll definitely have your own children in the future..."
However, these words seem so pale and powerless at this moment.
Who would have thought that during this time, she hadn't gone home at all, but had been staying with a man named Fu Shiyue, and even got pregnant with his child!
But now that the die is cast, and things have already developed to this point, even if one is filled with regret, there is no way to undo it.
She slowly raised her head, her gaze laboriously shifting to Li Hui. Her once bright and captivating eyes were now dull and lifeless, as if devoid of any vitality. Her lips trembled slightly, and she asked in an extremely weak and hoarse voice, "Why...why has our family become like this? Father...how could he just leave like that..."
Tears streamed down her pale, paper-white cheeks, dripping onto the ground and instantly spreading into heartbreaking teardrops.
Upon hearing this, Li Hui felt as if something was blocking her throat, and it took her a long time to let out a low sob.
She bit her lip, trying to control her surging emotions, and said, "All of this... is all Fu Shiyue's fault! He plotted to frame the Xu Group and tried to acquire it for himself."
"But your father resolutely refused to agree to such an unreasonable demand, always upholding the dignity and bottom line of the company and the family. However, that despicable Fu Shiyue showed no mercy. He used underhanded means to force your father, ultimately causing him to die of grief and anger!" At this point, Li Hui could no longer suppress her grief and burst into tears.
After calming herself down a bit, Li Hui continued:
"Not only that, that heartless bastard actually broke into our Xu family home and into your father's study. Then, he took all the shares under your father's name, as well as the shares that were originally intended for you! He left you with absolutely nothing!"
After saying this, Li Hui burst into tears again, her body trembling uncontrollably from excessive grief.
Upon hearing Li Hui's words, Xu Qinghuan's eyes blazed with determination. She clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms. "I'm going to find him and get to the bottom of this. I don't believe he's that kind of person." Ignoring Li Hui's attempts to stop her, she forced her weak body to get out of bed.
Arriving at Fu Shiyue's company building, she took a deep breath and went inside.
The secretary wanted to stop the woman who looked sickly, but hesitated when she saw the woman's determined look.
Xu Qinghuan walked straight to Fu Shiyue's office, pushed open the door, and saw Fu Shiyue sitting behind his desk. He was slightly taken aback when he saw her come in.
"Why did you do this? Are you really as ruthless as they say?" Xu Qinghuan questioned.
Fu Shiyue was silent for a moment before slowly speaking: "Next, I will acquire the Xu Group and become the largest director."
Upon hearing this, Xu Qinghuan slapped him and cursed, "Bastard!"
Fu Shiyue turned his face to one side, then quickly turned it back, his eyes cold yet carrying a complex emotion.
"The business world is like a battlefield; it's all about the survival of the fittest."
"What about my father? You killed him, seized his shares, and now you have the audacity to say it's the law of the jungle?" Xu Qinghuan trembled with anger.
Fu Shiyue stood up, walked to the window, and said to her with his back to her, "Do you think you know the whole truth? If I hadn't taken over, all the illegal things your father did in secret would have destroyed the entire Xu family."
Xu Qinghuan was stunned. She shook her head in disbelief: "Impossible, my father wouldn't do that."
"Believe it or not, I gave him a chance to make amends, but he went his own way." Fu Shiyue turned around, his face revealing little emotion.
Xu Qinghuan felt dizzy. She didn't understand these things in the business world, but no matter what, it was a fact that the man in front of her had ruined her family.
“Even if my father was wrong, you shouldn’t treat our family so cruelly,” Xu Qinghuan said through gritted teeth.
Fu Shiyue looked at her for a long time before finally saying, "I can compensate you, but the Xu family must belong to me."
"How do you plan to compensate me? You've ruined my family, and you still say things like that? Are you even human?"
"Fu Shiyue, the child... the child is gone, he just miscarried like that." The woman said, her face streaked with tears, her voice trembling, as if the whole world had collapsed at that moment.
Fu Shiyue clenched his fists tightly, trying to control the surging emotions in his heart: "We will have another chance in the future."
However, the woman suddenly raised her head, staring into his eyes with despair and anger, and shouted, "There will be no more! From now on, we will be strangers when we meet again! Fu Shiyue, why? Why have you become like this? Is there really some unspeakable hardship you have to endure?"
Before he could finish speaking, Fu Shiyue suddenly stepped forward, picked the woman up by the waist without saying a word, and strode towards the car parked outside.
Reaching the car, he gently placed the woman steadily in the back seat, then quickly got in himself and said to the driver in the driver's seat in a deep voice, "To the Fu residence, drive immediately!"
The driver was startled by the sudden scene and subconsciously glanced at the two people sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror.
Fu Shiyue's face was gloomy, and he exuded a chilling aura of malevolence.
Noticing the driver's hesitation, Fu Shiyue frowned and impatiently growled again, "Do you want to quit? Hurry up and drive!"
