After reading my heart, Mr. Fu doesn't even want Bai Yueguang anymore
Chapter 281 The Wealth Wolf also showed his fangs
Lin Yumeng and Fu Beichen were discussing in the box what responsibilities An Bowen would be held accountable for. Suddenly, she looked inadvertently at the one-way mirror and saw Lu Shen and Fang Yue.
Lin Yumeng immediately raised her index finger and shushed Fu Beichen, then signaled him with her eyes to look outside the mirror.
Fu Beichen was amused by her cautious behavior and was willing to cooperate with her, looking in the direction her eyes indicated.
At this time, Lu Shen and Fang Yue were sitting at a table closest to the one-way mirror. Lu Shen's handsome face was covered with a layer of cold frost, his brows were slightly furrowed, and his lips were tightly pursed.
Fang Yue, who was sitting opposite him, was completely different from before.
Her delicate makeup had long since vanished, replaced by a haggard face. Due to the dry weather, a deep gash had appeared at the corner of her mouth, with traces of blood faintly visible.
Those once delicate and fair hands were now covered with frostbite, severely red and swollen, and some places even had broken skin. It must have been very itchy.
The clothes she wore were no longer high-end brand names, but cheap items bought from street stalls. The fabric was rough, the style was old, and there was even obvious pilling at the elbows.
What surprised people the most was her shoes. In such a cold day, she was wearing only single-layer canvas shoes without even socks. The cold wind blew in through the shoe surface. Her feet must have felt icy cold.
Seeing this situation, Lin Yumeng couldn't help but sigh. Since her family went bankrupt, her life must have changed drastically.
Although she looks pitiful, Lin Yumeng will not sympathize with her. After all, this person has a mental problem. He once regarded her as a love rival and targeted her everywhere.
Even though they had never met before and she was married, Fang Yue was still relentless, as if she would be a threat to her as long as she didn't die, and she really thought she was made of clay.
Any woman with a reasonable level of normality, faced with this situation, would be thinking about how to win over Lu Shen and earn his favor, right? Fang Yue, intent on competing with him, must be completely out of her mind.
"Brother Lu Shen, can you help me? You are the only one I can ask for help now."
Seeing her current miserable state, Lu Shen showed no distress or shock on his face, as if he had expected it, and his expression was unusually calm.
He was silent for a moment before he spoke slowly.
"You're going to have to ask for help one day? When I asked you to let me go and cancel the engagement, what did you say to me? Do you want me to remind you now?"
"Fang Yue? You are no longer the high and mighty Miss Fang you once were. Now you are nothing but a puddle of mud. I find you stink even when I walk with you."
When she came, she thought that Lu Shen might refuse, but she never thought that the once gentle Lu Shen would be so aggressive.
He called her a puddle of mud? She stinks just walking around with her...
She looked at him with tears in her eyes and a sad face. She said with a trembling voice and sobs, "Brother Lu Shen, I like you so much that I can't help myself. It is because of this deep affection that I don't want to give up our engagement easily. Is it wrong to love someone?"
Facing her tearful confession and questioning, Lu Shen's answer was so cold and decisive: "You are wrong! Because I don't love you, so your coercion is an insult to me!"
After saying this, a trace of disgust and resentment flashed in his deep eyes.
During that time, Lu Shen had resented the pressure exerted by his parents countless times, blaming them for arranging this marriage without regard for his feelings; he had also deeply hated his own weakness and incompetence, unable to break free from the constraints of the family to pursue his own true happiness; and he was even more angry at the Fang family's bullying behavior.
So when the Fang family suffered misfortune later, he was able to cancel the engagement and gain freedom, which was extremely precious to him. He didn't want to have anything to do with the Fang family anymore.
The reason he came here today was simply to repay her for the insult she had once inflicted on him.
Fang Yue thought that except for the engagement not going according to his wishes, she always put him first, made him the center, and revolved around him all day long.
But why, in the end, did my sincerity receive such cold and heartless treatment?
She doesn't understand.
She thought that love would grow with time, and she thought that one day he would be moved by her. However, reality gave her a heavy slap in the face, and she fell into the abyss of despair unexpectedly.
Fang Yue regrets it now. If she hadn't fallen in love with Lu Shen and hadn't provoked Lin Yumeng because of Lu Shen, would everything have been different?
Would she still have a perfect family? The Fang family wouldn't go bankrupt, her father wouldn't go to jail, and she and her mother wouldn't have to live such a difficult life.
but……
Is it any use regretting now?
Everything has changed.
Fang Yue covered her tearful face with her chilblained hands and burst into tears.
Lin Yumeng's gaze fell on Lu Shen, who was standing across from Fang Yue. Facing Fang Yue, who was crying uncontrollably, he saw his brows furrowed, his eyes revealing undisguised impatience and deep disdain. Such a cold and heartless look was a stark contrast to the warm, sunny, and considerate Lu Shen depicted in the novel.
Lin Yumeng couldn't help but wonder: Was it her unexpected intrusion that caused the original plot to change, or was this a hidden truth hidden in the second half of the story, yet to be revealed? Could Lu Shen really transform from a cheerful and optimistic young man into a gloomy and deep-seated person?
In short, the current Lu Shen made her feel very unfamiliar.
Seeing that she was staring at the two people outside, frowning in thought from time to time, Fu Beichen gently held her hand in his.
"Wife, the Fang family has gone bankrupt. Lu Shen is lucky not to add insult to injury. He will definitely not help her."
Qian Ye told him how the Fang family had joined forces with Lu Shen's parents to force him. If he were Lu Shen, he would never let them have an easy time.
Of course, if he were Lu Shen, he would not be coerced by his parents and the Fang family. He, Fu Beichen, has never been a person who can be manipulated. Since Lu Shen has surrendered, he should not vent his incompetence on others. This is a sign of weakness.
Lin Yumeng agreed with what Fu Beichen said, but what she never expected was that a person's temperament could change so drastically.
Fang Yue wiped her tears carelessly and pleaded in a nasal voice, "Brother Lu Shen, my mother is seriously ill and lying in the hospital. She urgently needs money. Can you lend me 100,000 yuan? I will pay you back as soon as I have money."
Faced with Fang Yue's sincere request, Lu Shen didn't even raise his eyelids, and refused without hesitation.
"no!"
No matter how hard Fang Yue begged, he remained indifferent. Seeing that everyone around him was paying attention to him, Lu Shen stood up quickly and prepared to walk outside.
Fang Yue reached out and grabbed his sleeve in a panic. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she tilted her chin slightly upwards. She stared blankly at the cold and heartless man in front of her, choking with sobs as she continued to beg, "Lu Shen... Brother... please... please?"
Lu Shen's face was as gloomy as water. He ruthlessly slapped her hand away, then left the cake shop without looking back, leaving Fang Yue alone lying on the table and crying loudly.
Lin Yumeng slowly retracted her gaze and fixed it on Fu Beichen. She asked softly, "Husband, I think Lu Shen's bringing that woman here last time wasn't as simple as Qian Ye said."
Lin Yumeng still feels sick when she thinks about it now. Lu Shen’s love for her before was simple, clean, and without a trace of impurities, but now it makes her feel creepy.
He looked at her with a smile and affection in his eyes, but it inexplicably made people feel cold, especially since he was accompanied by a woman who looked somewhat like her.
Upon hearing this, Fu Beichen lowered his eyes and thought for a moment. He had given the Lu family and Lu Shen a chance before for Qian Ye's sake, but a few days ago, the Lu family suddenly announced that Lu Shen would become the president of Lu Corporation. He felt that everything was not that simple.
Lu Shen was obviously using Qian Ye, and he also expected Qian Ye to help plead for mercy, so his ultimate goal was actually to use Fu Beichen to put pressure on his parents to compromise, and he would take the opportunity to take over the Lu family.
It was really a good plan that achieved multiple goals at once. One thing led to another, and even Fu Beichen couldn't help but look at him with admiration.
It seems that he is not just someone who can accept things passively. As they say, a rabbit will bite when it is cornered. This hidden jackal has finally shown his fangs.
Fu Beichen looked at Lin Yumeng solemnly and said, "Wife, he is no longer the Lu Shen you once knew. He is now scheming and capable of anything."
Although Fu Beichen was surprised at his change, he was more cautious. His eyes fell on Lin Yumeng's abdomen. For the health of her and the child, he would never let someone like Lu Shen get close to her.
After all, a paranoid person who cannot get the love he wants will not only look for a substitute, but will definitely want to take the real person away by abnormal means.
In Fu Beichen's opinion, Lu Shen is now a high-end version of Fang Yue, who is better at disguising himself and more scheming than her.
But so what? Mengmeng is his, and will be his forever. No one can take her away from him.
Since Lu Shen had taken advantage of him, it would be unreasonable for him not to accept some compensation. He picked up his phone and made a call, and soon someone came to arrange the next matters.
Lin Yumeng looked up at him and asked in surprise, "Husband, are you going to use Fang Yue to set a trap for him?"
Fu Beichen gazed at her tenderly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, outlining a smile that made people feel like spring breeze.
"Wife, it's a well-known fact that he covets you. Instead of letting him stare at you all day long, it's better to find him something to do. I'm sure Fang Yue will be very willing to do it."
Of course Fang Yue was willing. She was now at her wit's end. She hated Lu Shen as much as she was paranoid about him before.
One hundred thousand yuan was just a piece of cake for Lu Shen, but he just watched him die without helping.
She had given him the best things, put him first in everything, and kept trying to please his parents, but in the end she ended up in such a tragic way.
How could such a huge gap not make her feel hatred?
After Fang Yue left, Lin Yumeng and Fu Beichen also walked out of the box, then took the special elevator and quietly left the central shopping mall, as if they had never appeared here before.
