Chapter 160 An Ying, what exactly is your relationship with Cheng Li?
An Weiping smoothed things over, saying, "Grandpa, Fu Shiling is just talking nonsense. Please don't take it to heart."
Old Master Fu glanced at An Weiping, his imposing demeanor making An Weiping inexplicably feel guilty.
Fu Shiling was annoyed: "Who's talking nonsense? My friends saw it with their own eyes..."
Fu Mingyi frowned, tugged at his daughter's arm, and whispered, "Don't meddle in other people's business. Are you satisfied if Grandpa takes all your allowance?"
The thought of the miserable days of not having money to buy handbags and high-end jewelry finally made Fu Shiling shut up in a huff.
An Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Fu Shiling had finally stopped targeting her.
Turning her head, she saw An Ying looking calm and detached, and An Xiaoxiao's brows furrowed even more.
Once this storm passes, she can just break up with Du Sheng and still have a chance to salvage her image.
However, An Ying is different.
She was involved in the leak, and although she wasn't the one who leaked the information, it objectively caused significant losses. She was clearly the one who should be punished, so how did she almost get led astray by Fu Shiling and almost become the target of the attack?
An Xiaoxiao glanced at An Ying and saw her calm expression, which made her increasingly annoyed.
What is An Ying gloating about? Does she think she can get away with this?
An Xiaoxiao looked at Grandpa Fu and smiled as she changed the subject: "Grandpa, I thought everyone gathered at the Fu residence today to hear An Ying apologize."
Apologize?
An Ying glanced at An Xiaoxiao, her brows furrowing slightly.
She neither paid any attention to An Xiaoxiao's provocation nor spoke up for Fu Shiling; she simply sat quietly in her seat and drank her tea.
She's been so well-behaved, how come she still got caught up in it?
What kind of trouble is An Xiaoxiao up to now?
An Xiaoxiao said sarcastically, "Recently, the leak of information about the Fu family has been all over the internet, and all sorts of conspiracy theories have emerged. It's really bad for the Fu family, don't you think, sister?"
An Ying said calmly, "An Xiaoxiao, what exactly are you trying to say?"
An Xiaoxiao sneered.
"Sister, what are you playing dumb for? If I were you, I would quit my job and leave immediately, afraid of bringing shame to the Fu family. How can you still have the nerve to stay at the Fu Group? You don't actually want to go back to work, do you?"
After listening to An Xiaoxiao's speech, An Weiping felt that his daughter made a lot of sense.
He was the old man's adopted son, whom he raised single-handedly. Even he didn't have this kind of treatment—he caused trouble and was still able to stay in the company unscathed.
"Xiaoxiao is right, An Ying, you should resign sometime. Fu's is not a good fit for you."
An Ying felt a chill in her heart.
How could An Weiping be so unable to distinguish right from wrong?
"Dad, do you only watch part of the news? Didn't you see that I was framed? Someone else leaked the project information?"
An Weiping frowned, looking somewhat embarrassed.
This daughter has become increasingly unruly lately, and now she's gotten so bold that she dares to openly criticize him.
He had bet that An Xiaoxiao would rise to prominence, marry into the Lu family, and become a wealthy father-in-law himself.
The result was such a crushing defeat.
One minute she's being jilted by the Lu family, the next she's causing trouble at a bar, then she's having a miscarriage, and now rumors are circulating that she's having an affair with the Du family in Yuncheng.
She made a fool of herself in various ways, and we had to cover it up for her.
An Ying, whom he initially looked down upon, is doing better and better. She not only successfully entered the Fu family business, but also managed to get close to Fu Chengli, a powerful figure in the industry.
An Weiping felt aggrieved.
Why is good luck never on his side?
An Weiping said resentfully, "An Ying, is your sister wrong? Dad is trying to help you avoid causing trouble for the Fu family, and you don't appreciate it! You're ungrateful..."
"enough!"
Fu Haidong was already annoyed and had a headache from all this trivial bickering, so he yelled and interrupted An Weiping.
"Fourth brother, can't you even control your two daughters?!"
An Weiping immediately backed down and fell silent.
Fu Haidong said irritably, "The engagement banquet with the Lu family caused a huge uproar before. My two daughters fought over a young master from the Lu family. It wasn't enough to create a scandal outside. Now they want to cause trouble again when they come back to the Fu family?"
"If your two daughters want to fight, go back to your own home! Don't pollute our ears!"
Xu Mei secretly tugged at An Xiaoxiao's hand, signaling her to shut up.
The noisy restaurant suddenly fell silent.
Fu Haidong was still furious when he recalled what had just happened in the old man's study.
Fu Chengli played a video on his phone for the old man to see.
The man in the video, his face covered in blood, insisted that Lai Yuqiang had leaked the information and that Lai Yuqiang was the mastermind behind framing An Ying.
unambiguous evidence.
Lai Yuqiang was promoted to the position of director by Fu Haidong.
Over the years, Lai Yuqiang has not only failed to achieve anything in her work, but has also made a huge blunder and disgraced herself.
At that moment, Fu Haidong wanted to explain something and try to clear himself of the blame, but before he could even open his mouth, the old man was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped Fu Haidong across the face.
Fu Haidong felt a chill run down his spine.
He glanced at Fu Chengli.
The unfilial son is leisurely smoking.
The date in the corner of the video indicates that it was recorded some time ago.
He kept this evidence to himself and refused to release it during this period.
Of all times, they chose tonight.
Just how many secrets does this rebellious son possess?
Old Master Fu focused his mind, half-closing his eyes, and slowly spoke while twirling a Bodhi seed bracelet in his hand: "The energy project has been severely delayed due to the leak of information. Hai Dong, you should withdraw from this project."
Gao Lu was even more shocked than Fu Haidong.
Gao Lu nudged her husband's arm with her elbow.
Fu Haidong ignored him, irritably pulled his arm back, and mumbled a "hmm".
Gao Lu was speechless.
She also planned to use the energy project to give Fu Yushi, who was about to return to China, some experience, but this plan fell through.
What enormous profits! With dividends, you can make tens of millions without lifting a finger.
Gao Lu's vision blurred, as if she could already see the bright red banknotes slipping out of her account.
Old Master Fu glanced at Fu Chengli.
"Chengli, what do you think?"
Fu Chengli smiled and said, "I will follow Grandpa's orders."
Grandpa Fu nodded and turned his head toward An Weiping.
"Fourth brother, this project is entrusted to you."
An Weiping was taken aback.
Wait, what did the old man just say? Was he hallucinating?
He stammered, "Wait, wait a minute, sir, did I...did I hear that right?"
Since being expelled from the Fu family more than twenty years ago, An Weiping has never touched any of the Fu family's business again, but this time he actually...
Old Master Fu continued, "Fourth son, keep a close eye on your two daughters, and make sure they don't cause any more trouble."
An Weiping's heart pounded with excitement, and he couldn't think of anything else, nodding frantically like he was pounding garlic.
"I'll take care of it! I definitely will! An Xiaoxiao and An Ying's relationship will definitely improve!"
at last!
Unexpected windfall!
Lady Luck is about to smile upon An Weiping!
An Ying had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Grandpa Fu raised his cane and slammed it heavily on the ground, his face showing displeasure.
“Recently, there have been many rumors about our family. I hope everyone will be careful with their words. I’m an old man, and I still have to clean up your messes. I haven’t even had a great-grandchild yet. Can’t you let me live a few more years?”
Everyone was silent.
Grandpa Fu got up and left.
"An Ying, please escort me back to my study."
An Ying was taken aback.
Is the old man looking for her alone?
An Ying quickly stepped forward, took the old man's arm, and led him away from the dining room towards the study upstairs.
Although Mr. Fu had difficulty walking, he took each step on the steps steadily.
"An Ying, how about promoting you to director and replacing Lai Yuqiang?"
No one was around.
Butler Zhao followed silently up the steps.
An Ying was a little confused, her mind racing to figure out a tactful answer.
Before she could answer, Old Master Fu threw out a second question.
"An Ying, what exactly is your relationship with Cheng Li?"
