Chapter 179 Returning for Revenge
Chapter 179 Returning for Revenge
Fu Shiyue drove back to the Fu residence and brought the car inside.
As soon as I parked the car, the butler rushed out to greet me. "Young Master, you're finally back! The Master is throwing a tantrum in the living room."
Fu Shiyue frowned, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.
He strode into the living room and saw his father, Fu Wenyuan, sitting on the sofa, his face so dark it could drip water. "What's wrong?"
Fu Shiyue tried his best to keep his tone calm.
Fu Wenyuan slammed his hand on the table. “Look what you’ve done! You’ve ruined the company’s cooperative project. Their shareholders are my friends, and now they’re calling to tell me they want to withdraw their investment!”
"You don't need to worry about this. I know what I'm doing and I'll handle it."
Fu Shiyue's lips curled into a cold smile, his eyes revealing disdain and dissatisfaction with his father.
"What are you going to do with this? Don't think that just because you're my son you can act so recklessly and do whatever you want!" the father roared furiously. "I've made up my mind. You must marry the Lin family's daughter. This is the only way to save the company!"
He actually resorted to such an old-fashioned tactic to force him to comply. But Fu Shiyue hated being threatened the most.
"Dad, don't try to blackmail me with such outdated tactics. I hate being threatened!"
"You have no other choice but to go through this marriage alliance!" The father's tone was unusually firm, leaving no room for negotiation. "The Lin family is large and powerful, and not one that ordinary people can afford to offend. Moreover, both our Fu family and the Lin family are prominent families in the business world, and this marriage alliance will benefit both sides."
Fu Shiyue sneered, "You think I can save the Fu family with a woman? I don't think she has the ability, and I don't need her at all!"
He continued, "I didn't come back today to talk about this trivial matter. I came to ask you, do you know Lin Mo?"
Upon hearing the name "Lin Mo," Fu Wenyuan's expression visibly changed, but he quickly regained his composure. "I don't know any Lin Mo. Why are you asking this? Don't change the subject. You must agree to the marriage alliance."
His reaction told Fu Shiyue that they definitely knew each other, but his father had been hiding something...
He stared sharply at his father. “Dad, stop pretending. I’ve investigated. Lin Mo is inextricably linked to the Lin family. He had some connections with the Fu family when he was abroad. At that time, I hadn’t taken over yet, and you were in charge of everything. So, I hope you will tell me the truth about your relationship. Moreover, I suspect that the current cooperation crisis in the company is deliberately targeting the Fu family, and Lin Mo might be behind it.”
Fu Wenyuan's tone remained firm, "Don't make wild guesses. I'll say it one last time: there's no room for negotiation on this marriage." Fu Shiyue clenched his fists in anger, "I'm warning you, don't push me. I won't marry someone I don't like for the sake of the so-called company's interests. As for the company's crisis, I'll handle it myself. If you dare to bring up the marriage again, don't blame me for disregarding our father-son relationship."
After saying that, Fu Shiyue turned around and strode out of the living room, leaving Fu Wenyuan standing there trembling with anger.
He got into the car, gripping the steering wheel tightly with both hands. After a while, the butler came to him, knocked on the window, and he rolled it down.
"Uncle Bai, is there anything else?"
"Young Master, the Master asked me to tell you the truth. He has decided to tell you the truth. Please come to the study."
He compromised after all. Fu Wenyuan sat quietly on the stool in the study, his expression serious.
Some things, after all, cannot be hidden. Their origins can only be traced back to their time in England.
Previously, in Britain—
At that time, Fu Wenyuan's Fu family's jewelry business channels had already expanded overseas.
He met Lin Zhengguo, who lived in England and was Lin Mo's father.
They were both Chinese and became friends.
The two hit it off immediately and decided to work together to develop a new jewelry mine.
Just as their business was booming, the Lin family beat Fu Wenyuan's company to the punch, causing him to run into cash flow problems and putting his company on the verge of bankruptcy...
Lin Zhengguo, as his friend, not only didn't help him, but also discussed with him that the Lin family's acquisition of the Fu family would prevent his hard work from being destroyed.
At the time, the proud and arrogant Fu Wenyuan would never accept his opinion, and he and Lin Mo had a big fight because of it, which led to their falling out.
Ultimately, in order to monopolize the profits, Fu Wenyuan used underhanded tactics to frame Lin Zhengguo, leading to the Lin family's bankruptcy and Lin Zhengguo's death filled with resentment.
Lin Mo vowed from a young age to take revenge on the Fu family, and he would make the entire Fu family, who caused his family's destruction, taste the same bitterness.
He had been secretly plotting for years, using his business acumen and connections to sabotage the Fu family's cooperative projects, attempting to drive the Fu family into a desperate situation.
Even after all these years, he still came to collect his debt from the Fu family.
Ultimately, it was Fu Wenyuan who caused this current situation.
"Lin Mo is Lin Zhengguo's son. He did this for revenge?" Fu Shiyue's face turned terribly gloomy after hearing this.
"Therefore, this crisis in the company must have been caused by Lin Mo."
"Yes, I intended to keep it from you, but you still found out." Fu Wenyuan looked regretful. "What's the use of saying all this now? What's done is done." Fu Shiyue took a deep breath. "I will deal with Lin Mo, but don't mention the marriage again."
After saying that, he got up and left the study, already having a plan in mind. He wanted to make Lin Mo pay the price for his actions.
He, Fu Shiyue, is no good person.
In the business world, such ruthless methods are commonplace, and it's not surprising that there are rivals involved.
Meanwhile, Lin Mo was sitting in his office with a smug smile on his lips.
He received news that Fu Wenyuan had received news of the company's crisis, and he knew that Fu Wenyuan would definitely resort to some means. This was his usual dirty trick, and he could have guessed it long ago.
He will force Fu Shiyue into a marriage alliance; it's all part of his plan.
However, what he didn't know was that Fu Shiyue was not someone who could be easily manipulated.
However, over the years, he had come to know the Fu family's methods, and he felt that Fu Shiyue would not be someone who would listen to orders.
Now he has Bai Wei by his side.
How could he possibly marry a woman he doesn't love?
He knew very well that the Fu family had risen to their current position by stepping on his father's life.
Therefore, he will definitely make the Fu family and Fu Wenyuan pay the price they deserve.
"Arrange a meeting with Lin Mo for me. I need to meet this guy." He returned to the company and immediately instructed his secretary to make the arrangements.
"Okay, Mr. Fu."
Shen Xian'an opened the door and came in.
“Ah Yue, this Lin Mo, his whereabouts are quite mysterious. If you try to follow him, you'll lose him.” Shen Xian’an said with a serious expression.
Fu Shiyue's eyes sharpened. "It seems Lin Mo is quite surprising." He pondered for a moment. "By the way, go and investigate the Lin family's affairs in England. Continue to monitor the Lin family's movements and report any news immediately."
At this moment, the secretary came in and said, "Mr. Fu, the meeting with Lin Mo has been arranged. It will be at 3 pm tomorrow."
"Understood." He leaned back in his chair, pondering a solution.
The next afternoon, Fu Shiyue went to a coffee shop.
There were very few people inside; it was quiet and perfect for chatting and discussing matters.
He arrived at the agreed location on time. He had already seen a man sitting inside; Lin Mo was already there waiting for him.
Seeing Fu Shiyue enter, he stood up, a mocking smile playing on his lips. "President Fu, you've finally decided to meet me."
Fu Shiyue's gaze was cold and stern. "Lin Mo."
He just kept calling his name, without any expression.
"Alright, stop being so cold, just sit down and talk."
He sat down opposite him and said, "So, what exactly do you want?"
Lin Mo sneered, "My only purpose in life is to take revenge on the Fu family, to watch Fu Wenyuan watch his hard work be destroyed in my hands. Whatever the Fu family did to my Lin family back then, I will repay them tenfold."
"Alright, let me see what you've got. We'll wait and see."
Lin Mo crossed his arms, his eyes defiant. "Fu Shiyue, don't think you can get everything. In my eyes, the Fu family is nothing but a lamb to the slaughter."
Fu Shiyue's lips curled up into a confident smile. "Lin Mo, don't forget, the Fu family's success today isn't solely due to luck. Your so-called revenge is nothing but child's play."
Lin Mo's expression changed, a flash of anger appearing in his eyes.
"Hmph, we'll see. I want to see how you plan to turn the tide."
Fu Shiyue picked up his coffee and took a sip. "Since I dared to come see you, it's to tell you that I won't let you succeed. I'm giving you a chance to stop your underhanded tactics, otherwise, you'll pay a heavy price for your actions." Lin Mo was enraged and slammed his hand on the table. "Are you threatening me? Fu Shiyue, I won't fall for that." Fu Shiyue calmly put down his coffee cup. "This isn't a threat, it's a warning. I don't want to waste my time arguing with you; I have more important things to do."
After saying that, Fu Shiyue stood up to leave. Lin Mo watched his retreating figure, gritting her teeth, and said, "Fu Shiyue, don't be so smug. I won't let you get away with this." Fu Shiyue didn't turn around, leaving only the words:
"In that case, let's see who has the last laugh."
As soon as Fu Shiyue stepped out of the coffee shop, Shen Xian'an came up to him, "A-Yue, how did it go?"
With a calm expression, he said, "If he won't stop, then don't blame me for being impolite." Just then, Fu Shiyue's phone rang; it was a call from the company.
An anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Fu, something bad has happened! Several of the company's key partners have suddenly requested to terminate their contracts and are demanding compensation for breach of contract." Fu Shiyue frowned deeply.
"I understand. First, stabilize the situation." (After hanging up the phone)
Fu Shiyue sneered, "Lin Mo is quite quick." Shen Xian'an asked worriedly, "A-Yue, could this be a conspiracy by Lin Mo?"
"Whether it's a conspiracy or not, I'm going to take it on. You go and find out why these partners suddenly terminated their contracts, and I'll handle it at the company."
