I Want A Lifetime With You

Chapter 62

“You’ll pay for this, Fu Chengyan!” Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Fu Renjiang’s scream rang across the entire Shengyuan Group building. No one knew what happened to him, but everyone was aware of the person in power.

“The young lady is looking for you, Mr. Fu!”

Fu Chengyan’s secretary called him up. “Ms. Fu is waiting in your office.”

“Got it,” Fu Chengyan said and turned to Zhou Zheng. “I’ll leave the rest to you. Remember to eliminate the root cause!”

“Yes, sir!” Zhou Zheng replied solemnly. “I’ll take care of it at once!”

Fu Chengyan returned to his office to find Fu Jiayu seated on the couch. She looked rather unsettled and nervous. She had a cup of coffee in her hands, but she didn’t take a single sip of it.

Hearing the door open, Fu Jiayu immediately stood up. “Yan!”

Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes, closed the door, and said with his lips curled, “We’re at work now.”

“Mr. Fu!” Fu Jiayu said reluctantly. “Mr. Fu, I’m here today because…”

“Because you want to ask me about today’s incident?” Fu Chengyan interrupted with a smile. “Shouldn’t you know best?”

Fu Jiayu pursed her lips as her eyes carried a hint of jest. “I knew you were the smartest among us all since young. Tell me, what do you intend to do?”

Fu Chengyan raised his eyebrows to beckon Fu Jiayu not to be so nervous. He walked over to his desk and stood there for a moment before taking a document out of his drawer to hand it over.

“What’s this?” Fu Jiayu was puzzled.

“It’s what you want most!” Fu Chengyan answered, his low voice showing a trace of a grin. “Take it. I hope there won’t be a second time!”

“You…”

Fu Jiayu’s expression changed slightly before she reached out to grab the document from Fu Chengyan. The moment she took a look at it, she turned pale. “You…” She understood at once. “Fu Renjiang didn’t resign?”

Fu Chengyan curled his lips. “You’ve been working with him all this while – you surely know what he’s like?”

Fu Jiayu said with a bitter smile, “You really know everything. Then, why did you say those things to me yesterday?” Fu Chengyan clearly had everything under control, so there was no need for him to behave that way yesterday.

Fu Jiayu bit her lip. “I got it, Yan. Thank you!” If it weren’t for that slip-up from back then, she wouldn’t have worked with Fu Renjiang, but the latter had unfortunately blackmailed her with it. “But how did you do it?”

“You don’t need to know that. Just make sure it doesn’t happen again,” Fu Chengyan replied while gazing coldly at her. “Cheng An is still young. He needs a complete family.”

Fu Jiayu’s heart trembled slightly, but she understood this was the most Fu Chengyan could do for her, and this was certainly enough.

Fu Jiayu had made many mistakes when she was young and ignorant, but the girl didn’t expect that Fu Renjiang would use them against her. “So you told me all that yesterday just to get me to face off

against Fu Renjiang?”

“He wouldn’t have burned his boats if you didn’t,” Fu Chengyan smiled.

“But he still has Shengyuan’s shares. If he and his other accomplices were to sell them off, Shengyuan would be under the control of others!”

If Fu Jiayu could consider this, how could Fu Chengyan not? “They’re in my hands!”

“What?”

“He immediately gave up his shares last night and acted faster than I had expected!” Fu Chengyan said with a smile. “Alright, I’ve given you what you want, so see to it however you wish!”

Fu Chengyan made it clear that it was time for her to leave. Since Fu Jiayu had already gotten what she wanted most, she naturally didn’t stay any longer. When the girl walked to the door, she stopped for a moment. “Yan, let me know if you ever need anything. I’ll surely help you.”

Fu Chengyan smiled but said nothing.

Shi Nuan received a phone call from Shi Yunsheng just as she got off work. She was rather surprised to see his number. “Grandpa?”

“Nuan, are you done with work?” Shi Yunsheng’s old man voice came through. “I want to see you.”

Shi Nuan pursed her lips and looked at the time. “Now?”

“Yes. I haven’t seen you for quite a few days, and I miss you. I know it’s not good for you to come over. Your parents… sigh!” Shi Yunsheng couldn’t help but let out a sigh. “Let’s meet up!”

“OK!” Shi Nuan nodded. “Then let’s meet at Ruyi Tea House!” Shi Nuan and a friend had opened the tea house. Back then, Shi Nuan merely bought some shares, but she no longer had much to do with it

as the business picked up.

After deciding on the venue, Shi Nuan gave Fu Chengyan a call. “It’s me!”

Fu Chengyan was just about to get off work and was surprised to receive a call from Shi Nuan. “Hmm? What’s up?”

“I may be back a little late. My grandpa wants to meet me.” Shi Nuan felt a little bad. It was Song Rongrong yesterday, and today she had to meet her grandfather. “He probably has something to tell me.”

Fu Chengyan’s eyes narrowed slightly as his gaze darkened. “Alright!” he said. “Be careful on the way there. Call me if you need anything!”

“OK!” Shi Nuan hung up, her heart feeling rather warm. Back when she used to date Fu Xicheng, they would occasionally talk on the phone for hours and give each other an update on their respective schedules.

As they started having their own jobs, such interactions dwindled to a trickle.

Now, she didn’t quite know why she was doing this with Fu Chengyan. She just figured that since they were now married, updating him on her affairs was a form of respect.

Shi Nuan arrived at Ruyi Tea House and found her good friend, Su Yian, at first sight. “Your grandpa’s been waiting for a while.”

“Thanks, Yian,” Shi Nuan replied with a smile, taking off her shoes and entering. Shi Yunsheng sat there with Mr. Yang next to him. He waved at Shi Nuan upon seeing her enter. “Nuan, come over to grandpa!”

“Grandpa!” Shi Nuan walked over. “You’re early.”

“Hmm,” Shi Yunsheng responded with a grunt and poured Shi Nuan a cup of tea. “It must be tough at work!”

“No, not at all!” Shi Nuan replied. “Why did you want to see me today, grandpa?”

Shi Yunsheng went silent for a moment and turned to Mr. Yang. Mr. Yang immediately took out a file and handed it to Shi Nuan. Shi Nuan looked at Shi Yunsheng in surprise. “What’s this?”

“Open it up and take a look!”

Shi Nuan took the file in suspicion, only to be astonished when she opened it up. “Grandpa, why are you giving me Huancheng’s shares?”

“I’ve wanted to give them to you since long ago, silly girl. You’re from the Shi family too. It doesn’t make sense for you not to own any when your sister does,” Shi Yunsheng said and had Mr. Yang take out a pen for Shi Nuan. “Sign it, and I’ll have it notarized.”

“No, I don’t want it.” Shi Nuan pushed the share transfer agreement away and shook her head. “You know I don’t want any of this. You also know that because of these things, mom and dad once…” She shook her head again. “These are your shares. I don’t want them.”

“Nuan.” Shi Yunsheng looked at Shi Nuan pitifully. “It’s because you’re like this that the incident happened. These shares are yours, whether you want them or not. Hurry up and sign your name. Are you not going to listen to your grandpa?”

Shi Yunsheng pretended to be angry. “Your sister received Huancheng’s shares when she was 18. It doesn’t make sense that she has some, but you don’t. If your mom and dad didn’t give you any, then I will.”

Shi Nuan looked at Shi Yunsheng awkwardly. She had never wanted anything from Shi Yunsheng.

Yes, that was the truth. When she turned 18, everyone in the Shi family refused to give her Huancheng’s shares. She was certainly very sad about that. But Shi Nuan wasn’t sad about not receiving the shares. She was upset about how Shi Jingzheng and Jiang Yu treated her as her parents.

“I’ve never thought about wanting these. If you give them to me, won’t they think I intend to fight over the family properties with Shi Wei?” Shi Nuan was already not favored by Shi Jingzheng and Jiang Yu, but if she were to obtain these shares, they would probably see her as a bigger eyesore.

“Don’t bother about what they think. These are what I want to give you. Hurry up and sign!”

“He’s right, Ms. Nuan,” Mr. Yang couldn’t help but chime in. “Master Shi has wanted to give them to you. If you don’t take them and they fall into Ms. Wei’s hands…”

“But grandpa…”

“Nuan, are you not going to listen to me?” Shi Yunsheng asked solemnly. “Are you hoping for the Shi family to fall into someone else’s hands?”

“What do you mean?” Shi Nuan asked in confusion. “Why would you say that?”

“The Fu family were an ambitious bunch of people – why do you think Fu Xicheng wants to marry your sister? You’re still young, so you don’t understand yet. Your sister doesn’t have an aptitude for business. She only focuses on her carrier. In the end, Huancheng has to be in your care.” Shi Yunsheng advised sincerely. “The Fu family is always an outsider to us. Do you understand?”

Shi Nuan’s heart sank. She didn’t know much about business, but she understood what Shi Yunsheng meant.

“With these shares in your hands, no one can stop you from entering Huancheng, understand?”

Shi Nuan left Ruyi Tea House with a heavy heart. She had come out only after Shi Yunsheng, and Mr. Yang had left.

Thinking about what Shi Yunsheng had said to her, Shi Nuan felt thrown off because of the words her grandfather had told her.

“Come on in!”

A car suddenly stopped next to Shi Nuan, pulling her back to reality.

She was confused to see a head sticking out of the window, “Why are you here?”

Fu Chengyan curled his lips. “Get in, and we’ll talk!”

In reality, he had arrived long ago. The moment Shi Nuan inform him about meeting Shi Yunsheng, he was already at the entrance of her workplace and followed her car.

Fu Chengyan watched as Shi Nuan entered the teahouse and left that place, looking dejected.

As Shi Nuan got into the car, Fu Chengyan frowned slightly and leaned over, causing the woman to feel nervous. She stared at Fu Chengyan, not knowing what he was thinking.

Click. It turned out that Fu Chengyan had put on her seatbelt for her.

“What happened?”

Shi Nuan returned to her senses and stared at Fu Chengyan’s face in embarrassment. Pursing her lips, she said, “My grandpa just gave me 20% of Huancheng’s shares.”
