Chapter 151 : Driving Away the Rival 

One morning, Lu Yunyao, wearing a little yellow duck backpack, was about to head out to school.

Fu Sichan walked out with her.

When they reached downstairs, Lu Yunyao waved and said, “Goodbye, Mr.”

“Goodbye? You’re so eager to part ways already?”

Fu Sichan stretched out his arm and pulled the little girl back, who had taken just a couple of steps.

Lu Yunyao was pulled back, blinking in confusion.

“Mr, aren’t you going to work?”

“Not in a hurry today. I’ll take you to school.”

Fu Sichan’s expression darkened, “Aren’t you happy?”

“Of course, I’m happy.”

Lu Yunyao curved her lips into a smile, a faint dimple appearing on her cheek, making her look innocent and adorable.

She knew that Mr. was usually very busy, and when she went to school, he was often already at the office.

She didn’t expect him to have time today to take her to school.

On the way to school, Lu Yunyao chattered away, sharing her recent experiences.

Fu Sichan carried her backpack, occasionally responding with an “mm.”

“Little girl, how did you introduce me to your family?”

“I introduced you honestly.”

“Honestly? Really?”

Lu Yunyao nodded vigorously, “Really, I wouldn’t lie to you.”

“How did you honestly introduce me? Let me hear.”

Lu Yunyao held up her fingers, “I said that even though Mr. is older and not very good-looking, he treats me very well. Even though Mr’s abilities are ordinary and he doesn’t make much money, he is very willing to spend on me.”

She didn’t notice that Fu Sichan’s expression was growing darker, almost as dark as a pot’s bottom!

This girl must not realize she’s not praising him.

No wonder Lu Yunbai mistook Wang Yong for her husband. Based on this description, no one could link her husband to Fu Sichan.

Thinking about this made Fu Sichan feel very displeased!

“Don’t worry, Mr, I told my family all your good points. They won’t reject you. When you have time, I’ll take you to meet my family.”

Lu Yunyao finished speaking, feeling quite pleased with herself.

See, she’s so good at complimenting people!

Mr. must be feeling very warm inside.

Warm Fu Sichan “…”

Recalling what Lu Yunbai said a few days ago, Fu Sichan did not want to meet the Lu family as a son-in-law.

He was marrying Lu Yunyao, not the entire Lu family.

So, he didn’t need to have too much interaction with them.

“I won’t go, I’m busy with work.”

Lu Yunyao pouted, “Mr, are you afraid that Mom and Dad won’t accept you? Don’t worry, they’re not that picky.”

Fu Sichan thought to himself, no, he wasn’t.

“You’re going to be late if you don’t hurry.”

“Oh, I forgot I have classes this morning. Mr, I’m going now. See you tonight!”

Lu Yunyao snatched her little backpack from his hand and ran toward the school gate.

…

Ye Xuanlin had reserved a private room in advance and sent an invitation to Fu Sichan.

As soon as they met, the atmosphere in the private room was charged with tension.

Ye Xuanlin, dressed in a traditional Tang suit, got straight to the point:

“Mr. Fu, what do you mean by this?”

Fu Sichan’s expression was cold and distant, as if it harbored years of frozen snow.

“I heard that Mr. Ye is in Bei City for your sister’s marriage arrangements?”

“Yes. What does this have to do with Mr. Fu?”

Even Ye Xuanlin, a major player in Bei City’s financial sector, had to stay alert when dealing with Fu Sichan. The man’s aura was overpowering, and with his substantial backing, sometimes the best strategy was to avoid direct confrontation.

“Since the engagement has been set, does Mr. Ye not plan to return to Su City? Are you planning to leave the Ye family’s assets entirely in the hands of outsiders?”

Ye Xuanlin frowned, “Wanqing and Lu Yunbei haven’t spent much time together yet, they don’t know each other well enough. I am following my parents’ wishes and need to wait until my sister is fully acquainted with the Lu family before returning.”

As for the Ye family’s affairs, his parents managed them, and he did not need to go back immediately.

“If I remember correctly, Mr. Ye is still single, isn’t he?”

Ye Xuanlin was puzzled by the sudden shift in topic.

He hesitated for a moment, “Yes, like Mr. Fu, I’ve been focused on work and have not concerned myself with personal matters.”

Fu Sichan smirked coldly.

“I’m not like Mr. Ye. I am already married and have a wife.”

Ye Xuanlin was shocked.

Fu Sichan was married? He had never heard of this.

This was big news that could cause a stir in Bei City’s business circle.

“May I ask, who is your wife?”

Fu Sichan, lounging on the sofa, tapped the table with his long fingers.

“Mr. Ye, weren’t you always aloof and detached? Why are you interested in others’ private affairs now?”

Ye Xuanlin felt a sense of hostility directed at him and wondered if it was his own misinterpretation.

He hadn’t done anything to provoke Fu Sichan.

Ye Xuanlin cautiously replied, “I’m not interested in Mr. Fu’s private life. It’s just a habit of businessmen to stay informed about developments in the circle.”

This was his sharp business instinct.

“I had heard that Miss Gu had deep feelings for Mr. Fu. Could it be that Mrs. Fu is…?”

Ye Xuanlin guessed.

If so, it would make sense. The Gu family was also entrenched in traditional industries. A partnership between the Fu and Gu families to push the Ye family out of the picture was possible.

Hearing Miss Gu’s name, Fu Sichan’s eyes flashed with a hint of disgust.

“Don’t mention that woman in front of me.”

Ye Xuanlin was stunned.

It seemed he had guessed wrong.

Despite his efforts, he still couldn’t figure out what kind of person could effectively manage Fu Sichan.

He seemed so cold and heartless that it was likely he had no real feelings for his wife, and their marriage was merely a business arrangement.

“Mr. Fu, I have just one question. The Ye family has no intention of involving ourselves in Bei City’s industries. How can we ensure that the Fu family will show us leniency?”

Fu Sichan, unwilling to waste words, responded straightforwardly:

“As long as Mr. Ye returns to maintain control, the Ye family will naturally remain stable.”

Ye Xuanlin could not decipher the meaning behind his words.

Moreover, it seemed the Ye family currently lacked the ability to compete with the Fu family.

He had no choice.

Ye Xuanlin paused for two seconds before replying, “I will leave in a couple of days.”

Fu Sichan’s gaze was sharp and intimidating.

“By tomorrow at the latest. If it’s inconvenient for Mr. Ye, I can arrange a private jet to take you.”

It was clear that Fu Sichan was determined to drive him out of Bei City.

Ye Xuanlin weighed his options internally for a long time before finally agreeing.

“Fine, I’ll leave tomorrow.”

With this agreement, the gloom hanging over Fu Sichan’s heart seemed to lift considerably.

He and the young girl were legally married, so why did it always seem like someone was coming out of the woodwork to cause trouble? It was giving Fu Sichan a headache.

Now that Ye Xuanlin had agreed to leave, it was the best outcome.

This would also save him from the Lu family’s continual attempts to matchmake him with the young girl.
