Fu Sinian looked at her coldly. “You’ve made something out of nothing and told it to a lot of people, but do you think that will make it become fact?”
“The truth doesn’t matter. All that matters is what the people will believe and how many of them will believe. Mr. Fu, you can’t fight a hundred mouths. However, as long as you promise to get me out of this place and drop this matter, then I will promise to properly clarify things on Mr. Fu’s behalf. After all, I took care of Mr. Fu for a long time before, so it wouldn’t be too difficult for me, nor would it be the first time.”
“Do you know what your biggest mistake was?” Fu Sinian coldly enunciated, “You were too conceited.”
Qiao Jiao clenched her teeth and stared hard at Fu Sinian. “You should be more aware than anyone whether I’m too conceited or not.”
“Despite spending five years by my side, you’re still conceited enough that you think you can use a poor fabrication to blackmail me into letting you go. You’re so conceited that you actually believe that your little fabrication can bring me down, and you’re even so conceited that you really think that, as long as Qin Shao stands behind you, you can do whatever you want. Qiao Jiao, is this because you are taking yourself too seriously, or is it because you’re taking me too lightly?! You should know better than anyone else how many winds and waves that the Fu Group has gone through to reach this point. If you had any intelligence at all, you wouldn’t try to use something like this to blackmail me!”
“Fu Sinian, what about Yu Duo? Aren’t you worried that Yu Duo will think that it’s true?” Qiao Jiao’s eyes gradually turned red, “I still don’t understand. Three years ago, you had never even met Yu Duo before, but you were still willing to marry her. For you, it should be the same no matter who you marry, so why couldn’t you marry me?”
Fu Sinian didn’t reply.
“I accompanied you for five years, and during those five years, I accompanied you to countless banquets and wine parties. I drank until my stomach bled, and I struggled to put on a smiling face for those vulgar men, all for you. I did so much for you, so if it was just going to be the same for you no matter who you married, why couldn’t you marry me?”
“Why do you think it would be the same for me no matter who I marry? Qiao Jiao, if you hadn’t betrayed me, I could have given you an unparalleled career. With your intelligence and ability, I could have found you any excellent man that you wanted. No matter whether he loved you or not, he would never dare to betray you because Fu Group would always be your backer. But instead, you decided to work with Qin Shao and come to me like a fool asking a tiger for its skin, I can only say I’m very disappointed in you. “
Fu Sinian felt he had said enough to this woman, so he turned to leave.
When she saw that Fu Sinian was really about to leave, Qiao Jiao suddenly stood up, clutched the edge of the table, and shouted at his back, “If it had been me in that room three years ago, if it had been me instead of Yu Duo, would you have married me?”
Fu Sinian didn’t answer.
Qiao Jiao shouted crazily, “Tell me! Would you have married me? Would you?!”
But Fu Sinian’s figure had already disappeared through the door.
“Sir, are you going back to the office?”
Fu Sinian, who had climbed into his dark car, rubbed his brow tiredly and said, “Head to the Yu residence.”
“Alright.”
As the car started, Fu Sinian leaned back against the back seat and closed his eyes to take a brief nap.
Fu Sinian would normally not be afraid of this matter that Qiao Jiao had fabricated out of nothing at all, but right now he was actually a bit concerned, specifically, he didn’t know how Yu Duo would react.
If Yu Duo really believed it, how should he explain things to her?
While the car was still midway to the Yu residence, Fu Sinian’s cell phone rang. He picked it up and found that it was Yu Duo.
“Hey, hubby, where are you? Why didn’t I see you when I went to the company to deliver a meal for you?”
-Two hours ago-
Yu Duo had been leisurely ‘raising her baby’ at the Yu residence when she suddenly had a tablet tossed in front of her by a furious Mrs. Yu.
“What’s the matter?” Yu Duo asked while picking up the tablet. She took a look, saw that it was a gossipy article made of pure fabrication, and actually laughed aloud.
“You’re laughing? You can still laugh? Didn’t you see what it says?” Mrs. Yu growled, frustrated with this daughter of hers.
Yu Duo put on a confused expression. “I saw it, what’s wrong?”
“You’re asking me what’s wrong?! Don’t you remember? You and Fu Sinian slept together three years ago, right? But Fu Sinian planned it! Duoduo, he drugged you! Look, there are even all these pictures!”
In fact, Yu Duo had already been together with Fu Sinian when she first transmigrated, so she didn’t personally experience the whole ‘walking into the wrong room’ drama, but she felt very confident in her heart that there was no way Fu Sinian had drugged the original Yu Duo.
She explained helplessly, “Mom, I think I know better than you what happened back on that day. He didn’t drug me, I really was just too drunk and ended up walking into the wrong room…”
“Hmph!” Mrs. Yu wouldn’t listen.
“…” Yu Dou sighed and continued to look through the rest of the article about the incident. It was said that this news was all revealed by one of Fu Sinian’s most trusted longtime assistants… it could only be Qiao Jiao.
Since it was like that, Yu Duo understood immediately.
Three years ago, it seemed that Fu Sinian had been in the running for a big award from the city when he had slept with her in a muddled state so, for the sake of his reputation, he had decided to marry her. And now that he was once again in consideration for another important award this gossip from back then was suddenly revealed? With the timing, what was really happening here was just too obvious.
“Madam, miss, the meal is ready.”
Yu Duo looked at the table full of rich food in front of her, smiled and said to the Yu family servant, “Get me a bento box and fill it up with some of these dishes.”
“Yes, miss.”
Yu Duo touched her slightly protruding belly thoughtfully. At the critical moment, she still felt it was most important for their family to put on a united front for the outside world. She wondered silently, ‘Baby, do you think mom is doing the right thing?’
———
A little later, when Yu Duo walked into the Fu building carrying a bento box, it didn’t cause any sensation because no one recognized her. After all, Yu Duo had mostly lived at home over the past few years and had rarely appeared in public, so it wasn’t surprising that not many people knew her.
So, with the thought of giving Fu Sinian a surprise, Yu Duo kindly went to the receptionist and asked, “Hello, is President Fu in the company at the moment? Can you tell me where he is?”
The girl at the front desk glanced up at her, her eyes pausing uncertainly on Yu Duo’s slightly raised belly as she did. However, just then, the phone on her desk rang and she quickly answered it. Meanwhile, the other two girls at the front desk were both busy with their own business and seemed to have no time to talk to Yu Duo.
After talking on the phone for a few moments, the receptionist hung up and finally turned back to Yu Duo. The receptionist looked at her carefully one more time before asking with a business smile, “Miss, do you have an appointment with President Fu?”
“No, but…”
“I’m sorry,” The receptionist’s smile didn’t falter as she interrupted. “The front desk can’t do anything for you without an appointment.”
Thus, Yu Dou had no choice but to take out her phone and call Fu Sinian.
However, before she finished dialing his number, she overheard the other two girls at the reception desk murmuring together in low voices.
“Have you read that article? It said that President Fu had… do you think it’s true?”
“It should be true. I heard that it was all revealed by Qiao Jiao, so I think it has some credibility. After all, she has been around President Fu for so many years, it wouldn’t be surprising if she had some things in her hands. Her knowing some of President Fu’s private affairs is normal.”
“I agree. Besides, there’s no smoke without fire as they say. That article has so many little things included, and also the pictures from the surveillance cameras to corroborate it, it’s just too detailed to be fake. Not to mention the consequences if it were all faked… do you think those gossip reporters don’t know?”
“Then wouldn’t that mean, between President Fu and his wife…”
“But aren’t President Fu and Mrs. Fu quite in love? And President Fu really doesn’t seem like that kind of person. “
“Shh, keep your voice down. Anyway, stop talking and do something.”
Yu Duo had hid away on one side and began pretending to make her phone call, but she heard this discussion clearly. It seemed that this matter had made such a splash these past few days that now even the staff at Fu Sinian’s company were discussing it in private. After thinking for a moment, she directly dialed Fu Sinian’s phone number.
“Hey, hubby, where are you? Why didn’t I see you when I went to the company to deliver a meal for you?”
The receptionist who had just received Yu Duo, glanced up at her suspiciously when she heard that, but Yu Duo just continued in a frivolous tone, “Your receptionist says that I need to make an appointment to meet you, so can I make an appointment right now?”
On the other end of the phone, Fu Sinian smiled helplessly and said, “Find Qian Tian and give her the phone, I’ll have her take you to my office to wait for me.”
However, just then Yu Duo saw Ah Chi, who was coming in from outside the company building, so she said, “Nevermind, it’s fine. I see Ah Chi. Anyway, come back soon because the food is getting cold.”
