Chapter 265: Gaze Like The Devil’s
Song Chuyi’s face stiffened. He watched Fu Yu with a clear gaze.
Changqing and the others looked at each other. “What is it?”
Fu Yu looked at Song Chuyi coldly and took out a piece of folded paper from his pocket. He opened it up and passed it to Yan Lei. “After I found out that Uncle Yan’s company had run into some problems, I got someone to investigate Jiang Sheng. Actually, I just wanted to see if I could find some clues about him overseas, but while I was checking his bank statement, I found out that just a few days ago, a huge sum of 10 million was transferred into Jiang Sheng’s personal account, so I checked the source of the sum... it was from Song Chulang’s assistant.”
Everyone was astonished. Changqing was a little dazed and for a moment, she couldn’t return to her senses, only staring blankly at that piece of paper.
Why would Jiang Sheng receive such a huge sum of money from Song Chulang’s assistant?
That question would make one’s hair stand involuntarily.
Yan Lei’s face became ashen as he took the paper to examine it. There was a clear indication of records on it.
“Our company... didn’t have any capital exchanges with the Song Family recently. Even if there was, they shouldn’t have passed through Jiang Sheng’s hands without my knowledge.” Yan Lei’s breathing paused as he looked at Song Chuyi.
Song Chuyi was sitting with his back straight. He maintained his posture while holding the pair of chopsticks in his hand for a very long time without moving.
Fu Yu laughed coldly. “After that, I went to investigate and a few nights before the Yan Corporation’s drugs were picked out to be checked, the Chief Administrator from the Food and Drug Administration had dinner with Song Chulang. What a coincidence. Right after a dinner with Song Chulang, there was suddenly an inspection at the Yan Corporation. Tie these two events together and it would be really hard to not suspect that all this might’ve just been a trap the Song Family set for the Yan Family.”
Changqing shuddered. Fu Yu’s words already made her so frightened that her face lost all color. She looked at the expressionless man beside her and suddenly found him to be very unfamiliar.
“It’s not...” She shook her head. “This time, the Song Family also suffered losses. What good would that have done them?”
“They seem to have suffered losses, but wasn’t it just their shares that dropped a little? Didn’t some people just go to the hospital to create trouble? What could that do to the Song family? They can recover from it quickly, within a month.” Fu Yu narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “The Yan Corporation suffered real damage. Didn’t he say it wouldn’t go on television? Why was the incident suddenly broadcast on television again? It attracted the attention of all parties involved and forced the other broadcasting stations to report on this matter as well. The Song Family was behind all this as well, right? The purpose was to bring down the Yan Corporation then acquire the Yan Corporation at a low price. Yes, the price that the Song Family offered now is reasonable, but if it weren’t for the Yan Corporation’s damaged reputation, would it be this price?”
Yan Lei sank into his chair. His face was full of astonishment and disappointment.
Everyone looked at Song Chuyi but he still didn’t move. His expression was as cold as snow.
Changqing pushed him with the back of her hand and said with a trembling voice, “Chuchu, explain it.”
“I don’t think he can explain it,” Fu Yu said lightly, “It’s impossible for him to be unaware of this. In my opinion, the Song Family set up this entire trap. First, you paid Jiang Sheng to do something to the drugs. Then you made the Food and Drug Administration perform an inspection. The Song Family was also implicated, so the Yan Family even felt apologetic towards the Song Family, and at that time, the Song Family came out kindly and said they were willing to acquire the Yan Corporation at a reasonable price. Uncle Yan wants to marry my mom soon and is perhaps mentally tired. In fact, the Song Family was the poisonous tongue in the back but appeared at the front, playing the nice guy. Uncle, I came here tonight because I didn’t want you to be tricked by the Song Family and still thank them for it.”
Song Chuyi’s expressionless face finally twitched. He covered his forehead with his hand.
At that moment, there was no fear or anxiousness but a feeling of relief.
All this time, he didn’t feel at peace either. There were times when he wanted to say it but he knew that if he did, a divorce would follow.
Changqing cared so much about her father and after what the Song Family did, how could she forgive them? Even if she could forgive him, she wouldn’t be able to accept that he had family members like that.
Hence, he wanted to hide it from them. However, he was suffering because of it.
Every night, he would have insomnia from the torture.
“Yes, Fu Yu is right. This was all a trap set up by the Song Family,” he started.
After hearing that statement from him, Changqing’s mind went blank and it was buzzing, as though she couldn’t hear anything around her.
Yan Lei was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up. “Your Song Family is simply cruel. Song Chuyi, the thing I’ve done most wrong in my life is misjudging you. Previously, Changqing said you got your brother to help me settle the compensation behind my back. To think that I even felt grateful towards you. How did the Yan Family offend the Song Family to the point where your family would plot against us? And you’re still lingering around my daughter like this? What are your real intentions?”
Song Chuyi looked at the stupefied Changqing and his heart started to contract violently. “I only found out about all this after the Yan Corporation got into trouble. When I found out, it was already too late. Even if I wanted to help, I couldn’t do anything. Dad, I’m very sorry. I’ve really let you down and I’ve also let you down... Changqing.”
“Don’t call me Dad. I cannot afford to be your Dad.” Yan Family took in a deep breath of cold air and said, “Your Song Family is really too scary. Go. Leave the Yan Family.”
“Changqing...” Song Chuyi looked at the woman beside him as his heart ached for her.
Changqing looked as though she didn’t hear anything and was only staring blankly at a certain spot.
He touched her shoulder with his hand and she suddenly moved towards Changxin’s side, looking at him as though she saw the Devil.
His heart seemed to have broken into two halves in an instant. He stood up slowly and said quietly, “Dad, I know it might be too late to say this now, but to me, I couldn’t stop what my brother and dad wanted to do, but I am me and they are them. I really like Changqing and I also made plans to cut off all ties with the Song Family. I’ve also written a resignation letter for the hospital. I was thinking about finding a job in another hospital and leading a simple life with Changqing. At the same time, I also asked my friends to look for suitable businesses to buy the Yan Corporation’s overstocked goods. I thought that as long as I could find buyers, the Yan Corporation could choose to not be acquired. The reason why I didn’t tell the truth was because I was afraid you wouldn’t forgive me. Your family showed me warmth, so I was selfish. I’m really sorry.”
After saying that, he looked deeply at Changqing and finally turned around helplessly, making his way out of the Yan Household’s door step by step.
Perhaps he didn’t deserve to have such a warm family.
He came from an icy cold family like that. Zhan Mingwei said that he was just like a cat hiding in the dark. He wasn’t wrong.
No matter how much he wanted to walk under the sun, there would always be cats related to him by blood who lived in the dark, always standing in his way. They would keep obstructing him and blocking him.
No matter how much effort he put in to escape, he couldn’t.
When she heard the sound of the car engine disappearing in the distance, Changqing suddenly stood up.
“Changqing...” Changxin grabbed onto her, her eyes all red.
“I... I don’t want to eat anymore. I want to be alone for a while.” Changqing pushed her hand away and ran upstairs.
Fu Yu watched her retreating back with a heartache. He was filled with regret. If he had cherished her a little then, she wouldn’t have had to go through so much pain. “Uncle Yan, I’m sorry...”
Yan Lei waved his hand. “You didn’t do anything wrong. You only went to investigate this matter because you were concerned about the Yan Family. If you didn’t tell us, we might’ve really been kept in the dark.”
“Then Uncle Yan, what do you plan to do tomorrow?” Fu Yu said, “Actually, what the Yan Corporation lacks now is capital. I’m willing to invest in the Yan Corporation. That way, the Yan Corporation won’t have to be acquired.”
Yan Lei looked at him for a while and shook his head.
“Do you plan to go ahead with the acquisition?” Fu Yu asked anxiously. “You can’t let the Song Family have their way.”
“Let’s eat first.” Yan Lei sighed. He didn’t really want to talk about this matter.
It was supposed to be dinner, but no one was in the mood to eat.
After eating a few mouthfuls, nobody was in the mood. Fu Yu swallowed a few mouthfuls of rice. He glanced upstairs and said worriedly, “Uncle Yan, why don’t I... go upstairs and check on Changqing?”
“... Let her be alone for a while.” Yan Lei waved his hand and forced down a few more mouthfuls of rice. When Fu Yu was done eating, he said, “Go back earlier; go back and keep your mom company.”
“Alright.” Fu Yu knew the family needed some time to calm down. Although he was very worried about Changqing, he believed that with her family around, she could get through this ordeal. “Uncle Yan, if you need any help, just tell me. When my mom marries you in the future, we will be a family. I also hope your company will be okay. Besides, to be honest, if the Yan Corporation can get back up on its feet, it would actually have some potential. I still feel positive about the Yan Corporation; otherwise, the Song Family wouldn’t be so eager to acquire it either.”
“Mm. I understand. Fu Yu, I understand your intentions.” Yan Lei forced out a smile and patted his shoulder. “Be careful on your way back.”
After Fu Yu had left, Changxin asked, “Dad, why did you reject Fu Yu’s help? Do you still want to go ahead with the acquisition?”
Yan Lei shook his head and sighed. “I don’t know either. If we don’t agree, our family will definitely fall out with the Song Family. Don’t forget that the Song Family gave some funds to the Yan Corporation previously. They definitely won’t let it rest like that. I don’t want Fu Yu’s investment because I don’t want to take the same path as I did with the Song Family again. I don’t want to owe him any favors. Why would Fu Yu help us? It’s because of Auntie Shen and also because of Changqing. If I accepted his help, Changqing would feel indebted towards Fu Yu. I made a mistake once and I don’t want to make the same mistake again. I’d rather the company close down than hurt Changqing again.”
Changxin’s eyes reddened. “Yeah, I didn’t think that the Song Family could be so vicious. It’s really scary to have crossed paths with them. What a waste that you’ve always treated Song Huaisheng as your friend. You should really give them a lashing out.”
Yan Lei laughed bitterly. “Now that things have come to this state, what’s the use of scolding them? If others bite me, must I bite them back? We’re not dogs.”
