Chapter 31 Destruction
Chapter 31 Destruction
That gaze, gentle as water, seemed unlike his own, devoid of any emotion. It was as if it were telling her that he wasn't looking at her, but rather seeing someone else through her.
Her existence was merely a transparent illusion to him; what truly captivated his gaze was the shadow hidden behind her. Her voice was calm and firm, yet carried a subtle, almost imperceptible sadness: "Have you stared enough?"
However, his response was like a cold wind from an ice cellar, mercilessly blowing across her face. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a smile, and he said, "What, can't I look at my future bride?"
She bit her lip, a wave of indescribable sorrow washing over her.
"Who are you looking at?" She looked at her calmly, without much emotion.
A flicker of surprise crossed his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "You are you, my fiancée."
On the way back, he drove while she sat in the passenger seat, and they didn't speak to each other the entire way.
The atmosphere inside the car was unusually oppressive. She turned to look out the window, trying to distract herself.
Xie Zhiyi turned to look at him, her eyes filled with determination and resolve. She took a deep breath and slowly asked, "Fu Shiyue, I want to ask you a question. When you chose to marry me, was it just to forget... forget your ex-wife? You didn't actually want to marry me, did you?"
Her voice revealed a deep disappointment, as if the doubts in her heart had been bothering her for a long time. Her eyes were fixed on Fu Shiyue, hoping to find the answer from his expression and answer.
However, Fu Shiyue's face remained expressionless, his eyes cold and deep, making it impossible to discern his true thoughts.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment, and the air grew heavy. Xie Zhiyi awaited Fu Shiyue's answer, but he remained silent. Her heart sank to the bottom, and the last glimmer of hope began to fade.
Finally, his voice was low and calm, carrying an indescribable complex emotion: "What do you think I did this for? I married you because of my feelings for you."
These words were spoken with such sincerity, as if Fu Shiyue was genuinely expressing his feelings for her.
However, whether there were other motives involved, or whether it was just affection, only he himself knows the truth.
So far, neither of them has clearly expressed their attitude towards each other, and everything remains to be seen.
If they really reach the point where they have to be completely honest with each other, what kind of situation and challenges will they face?
However, one thing is certain: Fu Shiyue will definitely marry Xie Zhiyi, and that will not change.
That face looked exactly like the woman he loved...
"Are you serious?" Fu Shiling asked, his expression incredulous. As he spoke, the man sitting opposite him took out a photo and placed it in front of him. Fu Shiling picked up the photo; it showed Fu Shiyue and a woman trying on wedding dresses in a bridal shop. Seeing this, he frowned. Was he getting married? He put down the photo, rested his chin on his hand, and looked at the man opposite him with a hint of amusement. "Do you have other information?"
"Who is this woman?" Fu Shiling picked up the photo and examined the woman in it carefully. His eyes revealed a hint of curiosity and doubt.
"This woman is no ordinary person; she is the long-lost granddaughter of the Xie family!" The speaker's tone was filled with mystery and amazement.
“The Xie family…” Fu Shiling frowned slightly, some information about the Xie family flashing through his mind.
"That's right, it's the Xie family." The other person continued, "Her name is Xie Zhiyi. She was just found and reunited with her family not long ago. It's said that she's the granddaughter that Old Master Xie dotes on!"
Fu Shiling's gaze fell on Xie Zhiyi in the photo, and a slight smile appeared on his lips as a strange interest welled up in his heart.
Anything that interests Fu Shiyue, he is also interested in, including any matter, and of course, people he is interested in...
"Interesting, a granddaughter who has been separated for many years can receive such love..." he murmured.
He put down the photo, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and fell into deep thought.
The Xie family holds a pivotal position in the business world, and Xie Zhiyi, as the Xie family's granddaughter, will undoubtedly attract considerable attention.
"It seems I need to get to know this Miss Xie better," Fu Shiling muttered to himself.
His eyes gleamed with a sharp light, as if he could already see the scene of meeting Xie Zhiyi in the future.
"Their wedding is set for this Friday at the InterContinental Hotel. Business people will be attending. He has already reached a cooperation agreement with the DW Group. As for Xie Lianzhou, I think it's too late for us to make a move. We'll have to think of another way," the man said seriously.
Upon hearing these words, Fu Shiling fell silent, his eyes becoming deep and sharp, as if he were pondering something important. After a while, he spoke, "It seems Fu Shiyue has made all the preparations, but I will not let him succeed so easily."
He knew this wedding was significant for Fu Shiyue, but it was also a golden opportunity for him to strike back at Fu Shiyue. He secretly vowed to find a way to sabotage the marriage and make Fu Shiyue taste the bitterness of defeat.
He began to ponder his next move, thinking about how to break Fu Shiyue's scheme. He decided to start by investigating the woman, understanding her background and relationship with Fu Shiyue, to see if he could find any flaws. At the same time, he also needed to closely monitor the movements of the DW Group, looking for weaknesses he could exploit.
A determined expression appeared on Fu Shiling's face. He believed that as long as he worked hard enough, he would definitely find a way to break the deadlock and deliver a fatal blow to Fu Shiyue. He wanted everyone to know who the real victor was!
Fu Shiling decided to cause a scene at the wedding.
He called his secretary and asked him to prepare a special gift and make sure it was delivered to the wedding day. This gift would be his "surprise" for Fu Shiyue.
The InterContinental Hotel was bustling with activity on the wedding day.
Fu Shiyue and Xie Zhiyi walked into the hall amidst the blessings of the crowd. She wore a snow-white wedding dress, looking as pure and beautiful as an angel. Flower girls followed behind her, carrying bouquets. The train of her wedding dress trailed on the ground, leaving a beautiful trail as she walked.
When the emcee announced the ring exchange, Fu Shiling quietly walked onto the stage with a smile on his face and a large envelope in his hand.
"Distinguished guests, I have a special gift for the newlyweds today." Fu Shiling's voice rang out, and the entire room fell silent. He opened the envelope, took out the documents inside, and showed them to everyone.
The document prominently displayed the words "DNA Identification Report." Fu Shiling looked at Fu Shiyue and sneered, "Do you think you can get away with this? Xie Zhiyi isn't the Xie family's granddaughter at all; she's an imposter!"
The scene instantly spiraled out of control, with people buzzing with discussion. Xie Zhiyi stared wide-eyed at Fu Shiling in disbelief. Fu Shiyue's face darkened considerably; he glared at Fu Shiling and gritted his teeth, saying, "Fu Shiling, you're indispensable everywhere!"
"Of course! Wherever you are, I'll be there too. After all, we're connected by blood!"
"Fu Shiling, do you think you can just throw together a random appraisal report to fool everyone and make them misunderstand your intentions? You're dreaming!"
At this moment, Grandpa Xie also stood up, came up, and angrily pointed his cane at Fu Shiling: "Where did you come from, you wild brat, to ruin my granddaughter's happiness? Believe me or not, I'll have security throw you out, hmph!"
However, Fu Shiling remained unmoved. He handed the DNA test report to the emcee and asked him to read it aloud to the audience.
The emcee took the report, hesitated for a moment, but still read it aloud.
At that moment, the once solemn and dignified hall instantly became chaotic, as they watched helplessly as Shi Yue and Xie Zhiyi's wedding was forcibly interrupted.
Fu Shiling, however, wore a smug expression, a contemptuous smile playing on his lips. He knew all too well that his meticulously planned conspiracy was already halfway to success.
As time ticked by, Fu Shiling secretly plotted his next move. He decided to seize this opportunity to drive Fu Shiyue into a corner, making him lose everything he cherished. In this world full of power struggles and scheming, Fu Shiling firmly believed that only in this way could he ensure his position remained as solid as a mountain.
Thus began a thrilling power struggle...
If he succeeds this time, rumors will spread that in order to gain the support of the Xie family and DW, Fu Shiyue sent a fake heiress to the Xie family to marry, all in order to obtain everything from the Xie family.
Then his reputation would be completely ruined....
Even if he had extraordinary connections, why would the Xie family and other companies still cooperate with the Fu family?
"You dare to ruin my sister's wedding? You're asking for it!"
The speaker was none other than Xie Lianzhou. He walked in with a grim expression, carrying a stack of documents. He quickly went to Old Master Xie's side and carefully helped him up, saying, "Grandpa, please don't be fooled by this person! He came here today clearly to sabotage our relationship with the Fu family. He deliberately produced a fake DNA test report to frame my sister and Fu Shiyue, making everyone believe there's some unspeakable secret between them… But don't worry, this is the real DNA test report. It clearly states that Zhiyi is a member of the Xie family, there's absolutely no mistake! So, please stop trying to slander the Xie family!"
After saying that, he handed the so-called real DNA test report to Old Master Xie.
After reading it, Old Master Xie naturally understood the reason, and closed the document in his hand.
"Call security immediately and throw this vandal out of here, right now!"
Just then, a security guard suddenly rushed out from the crowd, looking at everything that was happening with a tense expression. Immediately afterwards, another security guard also rushed over, and together they lifted Fu Shiling up and forcibly took her away from the scene.
As he left, he gave a smug smile, a smile tinged with disdain and contempt...
Don't rush, there's always next time. I'll play with you slowly next time.
