Chapter 150 : Mr. Fu is jealous

Fu Sichan was momentarily at a loss for words.

It seemed that Lu Yunbei had a deep misunderstanding of the situation.

“Mr. Lu, how did you come to know about this matter?”

Lu Yunbei sighed. “I’ve seen your assistant Wang Yong twice at my sister’s place. His appearance and background match my sister’s description. Moreover, my sister told me that her husband shares your name. How is that possible? So the only explanation is that Assistant Wang is impersonating you and deceived my sister.”

Fu Sichan’s cold, sharp eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of intensity.

“What was your sister’s description of her husband?”

Lu Yunbei furrowed his brow.

Why is President Fu focusing on this detail?

After all the information Lu Yunbei provided, President Fu seemed more interested in what his sister had said rather than the fact that his assistant was deceiving people.

“My sister said her husband is older, someone she would address as ‘Mr.’ He looks less impressive than an average person, has an ordinary job, and earns a modest income.”

It should be noted that within Fu’s Corporation, being an assistant like Wang Yong is considered quite competent among ordinary people.

But in high society, that is far from enough.

Suddenly, after Lu Yunbei’s description, Fu Sichan felt a drop in temperature in the room.

Lu Yunbei shivered involuntarily.

Fu Sichan clenched his teeth, his expression icy.

So, that little girl spoke of him like that behind his back, did she?

He would teach her a lesson when he returned!

“President Fu, what do you think about this matter?” Lu Yunbei asked.

Fu Sichan’s expression was inscrutable, leaving others guessing.

He said with a hint of amusement, “What if Wang Yong is merely using my identity?”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Perhaps your sister’s marriage certificate actually has my name on it.”

“President Fu, please don’t joke about this.”

Lu Yunbei smiled bitterly.

His sister marrying the real Fu Sichan? He couldn’t even imagine it.

It was too far-fetched.

His sister used to be just an ordinary college student with no connections to President Fu.

Even at the last identification banquet, they hadn’t met as President Fu had already left.

Lu Yunbei had no idea President Fu had such a penchant for jokes.

He said awkwardly, “My sister is still young and naive, not suited to marry into the Fu family.”

Fu Sichan’s expression grew colder.

“Oh? Then what kind of person do you think she’s suited to marry?”

Why was the conversation back on his sister?

Although Lu Yunbei didn’t understand why President Fu was asking this, he could only answer honestly.

“To be honest, my father and I are more inclined towards the Ye family. Or another young heir from a prominent family. It doesn’t matter if their family wealth is less than ours, what’s important is that they are gentle and young, not much older than my sister.”

Each of these statements felt like a knife twisting in Fu Sichan’s heart.

The Ye family…

“Are you referring to Ye Xuanlin?”

“Yes, indeed. I’ve met Ye Xuanlin a few times. He is upright and gentle. If he and my sister are mutually interested, they would make a good match.”

The more Lu Yunbei thought about it, the more he felt that his sister and Ye Xuanlin were a perfect match.

He had a betrothal with Ye Wanqing, and they got along well.

If his sister could marry Ye Xuanlin, it would strengthen the ties between their families, making it a delightful union.

Fu Sichan’s brows were tightly knitted, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.

It was Ye Xuanlin again.

Why did this person keep coming up?

Fu Sichan was itching to crush him to dust immediately.

“President Fu, how do you plan to handle this matter?”

“You go back for now. I’ll take care of it.”

“Understood.”

After Lu Yunbei left, Fu Sichan’s fury seemed almost palpable.

Was the Lu family so dismissive of him?

Was it really such a big deal that he was nine years older than the girl? Did they have to be so disdainful?

What Fu Sichan didn’t know was that the Lu family’s reluctance wasn’t due to disdain, but a deep understanding of the saying “a match made in heaven.”

As the top family in Bei City, the Fu family was far beyond reach.

It wasn’t just the age difference of nine years, even a difference of ninety years wouldn’t deter women from trying to marry into the Fu family.

The Lu family, being of modest standing, simply didn’t dare to send their innocent and kind-hearted daughter into such a high-profile family, fearing potential discord.

They couldn’t bear the wrath of the Fu family.

“Xiao Rong.”

Assistant Xiao entered the room.

Upon seeing his boss’s expression, Assistant Xiao’s heart skipped a beat, and he became extremely alert.

What did Lu Yunbei say to make the boss so angry?

After hearing Fu Sichan’s orders, Assistant Xiao was even more confused.

Why was President Fu suddenly targeting Ye Xuanlin? Was Lu Yunbei’s issue related to Ye Xuanlin?

As Assistant Xiao’s mind raced, he heard from above

“Do you have any objections?”

“No, sir. I will convey your instructions immediately.”

…

Ye Xuanlin received a call from Su City.

“What? Our funding chain has been cut off?”

“Yes, Young Master Ye. We don’t know what happened. Several private equity funds suddenly suspended their cooperation with us, and the market urgently needs the money. We can’t cover this huge gap right now.”

“Don’t panic.” Ye Xuanlin tried to calm himself, “What about Anping? We’ve been collaborating with them for over a decade without any issues.”

“They were the first to withdraw their investment.”

Even the usually calm and composed Ye Xuanlin was angered by this.

How could a long-time partner suddenly withdraw their investment at such a critical time?

The Ye family had many projects, and missing funds at this scale could be astronomical.

“Have we figured out who’s behind this?”

He couldn’t believe so many investment firms would simultaneously abandon them without someone orchestrating it.

But he couldn’t think of anyone with the power to create such a crisis for the Ye family.

“We’ve heard some rumors, but… there’s no evidence yet, so we’re hesitant to say anything.”

“Speak freely. I’ll take responsibility for any consequences.”

“One executive hinted that it’s someone from Bei City, and that person is…”

Ye Xuanlin immediately guessed the culprit, “Fu Sichan?”

“Only he has the authority and capability to pull something like this off.”

Ye Xuanlin was deeply puzzled.

They and the Fu family had kept their distance, in recent years, the Fu family’s investments had focused on internet technology, artificial intelligence, entertainment, and new energy, rapidly accumulating assets to an unattainable height.

In contrast, the Ye family mainly invested in traditional industries, such as real estate, jewelry, luxury goods, and tobacco and tea.

There was no overlap or conflict of interest between their businesses.

Why would Fu Sichan target him?

Had the Fu family’s appetite for Bei City’s business circle not been satisfied, and now they wanted to interfere in Su City as well?

That would indeed be quite ambitious.

“Sell a couple of plots of land under the Ye family’s name to cover the funding gap. As for President Fu, I’ll personally go inquire about it.”
