Chapter 10
I Don’t Regret
Fu Nian had always been known as the chosen one. Wherever he went, applause would follow. He was used to receiving praise from everyone due to his extraordinary talent.
But he did not have the nerve to retort in front of Song Fan. For the first time, he felt powerless. He turned around and went to look for his mother to discuss the matter of breaking off the engagement.
Fu Nian pulled Mrs. Fu aside and said, “Mom, Song Fan was so vicious that she poisoned her brother when she was young. She even caused a scene at the banquet just now. I can’t marry such a person.”
He insisted on his idea, but Mrs. Fu was worried, “Your grandfather arranged this marriage. You have to ask him.”
At this point, Fu Nian got angry. He said anxiously, “I don’t know what Song Fan has done to Grandpa, but Grandpa invited her to the study. Before he left, Song Fan even showed me off. I don’t think Grandpa will agree to break off the engagement. Mom, you have to help me.”
Mrs. Fu was afraid of her father-in-law. However, her son was begging her pitifully, and she did not want Song Fan to be her daughter-in-law, so she brought him to the study.
The mother and son knocked on the study door in an anxious mood. Fu Nian said, “Grandpa, I don’t want to marry Song Fan.”
Chairman Fu looked at his grandson and said, “Then who do you want to marry?”
“Anyone but Song Fan. She’s been bossy since she was young and even did things that hurt her brother. Just now, she made a scene at the banquet and didn’t act like a lady. I don’t want her as my wife.” Fu Nian talked nonstop about Song Fan’s shortcomings. In his opinion, Song Fan’s behaviors were simply unbearable.
“Shut up!” Chairman Fu shouted angrily, “Don’t think you’re truly talented just because others praise you. Song Fan has no affection for you and has already requested to cancel the engagement.”
Fu Nian thought his grandfather would object desperately and had already prepared an excuse. He did not expect Song Fan to have already broken off the engagement. He asked, “Grandfather, is that true?”
Chairman Fu had lost his granddaughter-in-law, whom he admired. He said angrily, “She has already sent the Engagement Agreement over. Of course, it’s true.”
After saying that, he threw the Engagement Agreement on the table. Fu Nian took it and opened it. It was his and Song Fan’s names. He had a wave of emotions for a moment, leaving him feeling conflicted.
When he was young, he did not hate his fiancée. Later on, though, her bad temper disgusted him. Slowly, it became complete disgust.
But now that the engagement had broken off, he felt disappointed. He wanted to cancel the engagement so much, but Song Fan took the initiative to cancel it. In other words, Song Fan despised him.
Why did Song Fan dare to do this when he should have been in a superior position?
Looking at his angry grandson, Chairman Fu snorted coldly, “Fu Nian, you’ll regret breaking off the engagement with Song Fan sooner or later. It’s fine if you’re foolish for a moment, but don’t be foolish for the rest of your life.”
Chairman Fu left immediately, leaving Fu Nian unconvinced, “I definitely won’t regret it.”
In the Peking Central Building conference room, Gu Chen and his assistant, Su Ming, sat at the head of the table. His eyes were as sharp as knives as he looked at everyone. Everyone began to panic.
They did it when they heard that Gu Chen was being hunted down. They did not expect him to return safely.
The meeting room was silent for five minutes before Gu Chen said, “Everyone seems restless. Did you do something bad?”
Everyone started to play dumb, saying, “President Gu, you must be joking. What could we have done?”
Gu Chen waved to Su Ming. He immediately asked someone to send the documents to these people individually. When they opened it, they immediately wailed and howled.
“President Gu, this is a false accusation. I didn’t do this.”
“I was blinded for a moment. President Gu, please forgive me.”
“I’m one of the founders of the company. What can you do to me?”
For a moment, everyone’s voices resounded in the meeting room. Gu Chen had no intention of getting entangled with them. He took out his gun and placed it on the table. Instantly, the meeting room was silent.
“I don’t want to listen to this nonsense. You need to remember that the Gu Corporation belongs to the Gu family, and the Gu family belongs to me.” After saying that, Gu Chen aimed at the person in front and pulled the trigger.
The expected sound did not come. It turned out that there were no bullets in the gun, but the crowd in the meeting room was tense. A person was so scared that he peed.
Gu Chen intimidated these people and left immediately. He walked out of the building with vigorous steps and immediately sat down after getting into the car. With a painful expression, he ordered, “Su Ming, teach them a lesson.”
“Yes.” Su Ming replied as he unbuttoned Gu Chen’s shirt. The wound inside was bleeding.
