Chapter 164 She is a descendant of the Bai family
"I'm very busy. What's the matter that you called me over?" Fu Shiyue walked into the study with an impatient look on his face, his voice revealing a hint of fatigue and dissatisfaction.
He was indeed busy, busy restoring her memories, busy cultivating their relationship, and helping Bai Wei recover her lost memories. He devoted himself wholeheartedly to this task, hoping to help Bai Wei recall her past self and all the little things that had happened between them.
But Fu Wenyuan, who rarely contacted him, unexpectedly called him over at this crucial moment. He simply couldn't find the time to deal with Fu Wenyuan's affairs and wanted to decline, but he said he had something very important to tell him.
I still came.
"What did you call me here for? Why aren't you saying anything? Are you lying to me?"
Fu Shiyue sat quietly at his desk, his gaze meeting his father's. The atmosphere between them was unusually heavy. Silence filled the air, as if time itself had frozen.
Fu Wenyuan frowned, his eyes sharp and piercing as he stared directly at Fu Shiyue, who remained expressionless.
The tense atmosphere was suffocating, as if a storm was about to break.
Neither father nor son spoke; they simply observed each other silently, trying to glean some clues from each other's expressions.
Fu Wenyuan's personality has always been like this: he is serious, decisive, and dislikes beating around the bush.
Fu Shiyue inherited his father's personality traits, and is also a resolute and calm person.
As the saying goes, like father, like son, and this couldn't be more fitting for them.
Finally, Fu Wenyuan broke the silence, his voice low and serious: "Have you been getting particularly close to any woman lately?"
These words struck like a thunderclap in the study.
"No."
Since Ye Xingran disappeared, Fu Shiyue seems to have lost his soul, and he is depressed all day long.
He often stayed alone in the room where they had once lived together, drowning his sorrows in alcohol and becoming indifferent to everything around him.
His life became chaotic, and he drifted through each day in a daze, as if the whole world had nothing to do with him.
During this period, Fu Shiyue never had contact with other women.
His heart belonged only to Ye Xingran, the woman deeply etched in his soul.
He will never fall in love with any other woman in his life except Ye Xingran.
However, fate always seems to play tricks on people.
Today, Fu Wenyuan suddenly came to his door and questioned him about a woman named Bai Wei.
Fu Shiyue's heart tightened, but he remained calm and replied casually, "I just took her in out of kindness. She just has amnesia, and I'm helping her recover her memory."
Fu Wenyuan was clearly not satisfied with this answer. He snorted coldly and said sternly, "That's all? Do you know that Bai Wei is a member of the Bai family! They all share the surname Bai. The Bai family offended our Fu family before, which is why they were blacklisted. And now you're still entangled with the Bai family's daughter. Are you deliberately slapping the Fu family in the face?"
Fu Shiyue frowned deeply, his face full of suspicion as he asked, "What Bai family? What 'slap in the face'? Explain yourself!"
The other person took a deep breath, calmed themselves down, and then said:
“A few years ago, Bai Chuhua opened his own jewelry store. Many of the designs in his store were actually plagiarized and imitated from other people’s works. After this news was exposed, it had a great negative impact on our company. In order to protect the company’s interests, I had to take measures against the Bai family and Bai Chuhua’s family, and block and crack down on them.”
At this point, the other person's tone became somewhat indignant, "The Bai family is simply immoral! They steal other people's brands and shamelessly sell these counterfeit goods. It's outrageous! And Bai Wei is Bai Chuhua's biological daughter!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Shiyue was startled. He had not known the details of the matter before, only that the imposter's surname was Bai.
However, to his utter surprise, Bai Chuhua was actually a security guard at their company!
He hadn't expected such a situation. "Where's the evidence? What makes you say that?"
Fu Wenyuan took out a stack of documents and threw them on the table: "These are the results of a private investigator's investigation. Take a look for yourself."
Then, Fu Shiyue quickly flipped through the documents, his face gradually turning gloomy.
"What does this have to do with Bai Wei? This happened a few years ago when she was just a little girl. This was Bai Chuhua's doing. How could she possibly know? You can't impose this on her!"
"Back then, she was just a child, but afterwards, Bai Chuhua also got separated from Bai Wei. Isn't this his karmic retribution?"
Neither of them would back down, and the atmosphere became extremely tense...
Fu Shiyue looked at the other person expressionlessly and said in an unusually calm tone, "Bai Wei is Ye Xingran, and Ye Xingran is Bai Wei. They are actually the same person."
These words struck like a bolt from the blue, leaving everyone present stunned.
"What do you mean?" Fu Wenyuan stared wide-eyed at Fu Shiyue with a look of suspicion, seemingly unable to understand what he was saying.
Fu Shiyue took a deep breath and continued to explain, "Ye Xingran used to be my secretary, and I loved her deeply. But now, I've discovered that she is actually Bai Wei, and that's her true identity."
Fu Wenyuan's face instantly turned gloomy. He stared intently at Fu Shiyue, a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes.
However, just a moment later, Fu Wenyuan quickly regained his serious expression, and his voice rang out coldly: "So, you've fallen in love with her, is that it? Let me tell you, I will absolutely not agree to you two being together! And don't even think about letting her step into the Fu family's door!"
The sounds of arguing echoed in the study, the atmosphere growing increasingly tense. Suddenly,
The study door was suddenly pushed open, and Bai Wei stood in the doorway with a panicked expression.
She overheard their argument, her eyes filled with pain and confusion.
"Stop arguing..." Bai Wei's voice trembled, "So that's how it is..."
Fu Shiyue quickly walked to her side, wanting to comfort her.
“Miss Bai, the reason I called you here today is to make it clear to you that there is absolutely no way you can enter the Fu family! You should leave; the Fu family will not accept you,” Fu Wenyuan said coldly.
Bai Wei bit her lip so hard that it drew blood, and tears welled up in her eyes, as if they would burst forth like a flood at any moment.
"Why did you say my father stole your brand!" Her voice trembled with anger. "You didn't even investigate properly before making such a hasty conclusion, making my father a sucker for years!"
Her chest heaved violently, clearly indicating that she was extremely agitated.
"Do you think this is reasonable?" she continued angrily. "Just because you care about your so-called reputation, you can recklessly ruin other people's lives?"
Fu Shiyue looked at Bai Wei, who had suddenly appeared.
I don't understand why she's here right now. Shouldn't she be staying where she is?
A moment later, Bai Wei suddenly turned around and walked towards the door without looking back, her steps hurried, as if she didn't want to stay a moment longer.
Seeing this, he hurriedly reached out to grab her, but his hand grasped nothing but emptiness.
Fu Shiyue watched Bai Wei's retreating figure, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He looked at Fu Wenyuan, "Dad, I can't abandon her." Without waiting for Fu Wenyuan's reply, he chased after her.
Fu Wenyuan stood there, his gaze fixed on the two figures as they walked away, as if trying to imprint their silhouettes deep in his heart. A trace of helplessness and worry appeared on his face. Finally, as if crushed by a heavy force, he let out a deep sigh.
That sigh contained so much helplessness and regret. He slowly turned around, looking at the empty surroundings, his heart feeling as if it were filled with something heavy.
Fu Wenyuan walked heavily to a bench and slowly sat down. His hand unconsciously rubbed the armrest. After a long silence, he finally said earnestly, as if he had made up his mind, "You two can't be together in the end."
These words were like an insurmountable chasm, standing between the two of them. Fu Wenyuan's voice revealed an unspeakable bitterness; he knew it was a cruel fact that no matter how hard he tried, he could not change it.
“Even if we got together, it would only be mutual torture.” Fu Wenyuan’s brows furrowed tightly, his eyes filled with pain and helplessness. He knew his son too well; once he made up his mind about something, he would be as stubborn as a mule, and not even nine oxen could pull him back.
This kind of persistence might be a virtue at times, but in the world of emotions, it often leads to more hurt. Fu Wenyuan knew this well, which is why he spoke so resolutely.
Fu Shiyue, like a cheetah, caught up with Bai Wei at lightning speed, as if he wanted to devour her.
Just as Bai Wei was about to escape his control, he suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist tightly like an iron clamp.
Bai Wei's body jolted violently. She tried to break free from Fu Shiyue's restraints, but the difference in strength between men and women was like an insurmountable chasm.
No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't budge Fu Shiyue an inch.
"Bai Wei, you stop right there!" Fu Shiyue's voice was deep and authoritative, carrying an unquestionable tone of command.
Bai Wei stopped in her tracks, her chest heaving violently, and her breathing becoming rapid.
She glared at Fu Shiyue, her eyes burning with fury.
"What exactly do you want?" Her voice was cold and resolute, as if she harbored a deep-seated hatred for Fu Shiyue.
Fu Shiyue was not intimidated by Bai Wei's imposing manner. He stood up straight and blocked Bai Wei's path, like an insurmountable mountain.
"I'm asking you, why did you come here?" His gaze was piercing, fixed intently on Bai Wei.
Bai Wei met Fu Shiyue's gaze without flinching, her lips trembling slightly. "Why can't I come here? If I hadn't come here today, would I have known?"
Fu Shiyue sneered, "Don't try to fool me. I'm asking you, who sent you here? Speak!"
