The conference room door was pushed open again, and Fu Xinyi walked in with a big smile, followed closely by Bian Jiahui.

After Fu Xinyi entered, she sat directly opposite Ge Zeyu. I don't know how long she had been listening outside, but seeing that my dad couldn't hold on any longer, she decided to come in.

After taking his seat, he asked directly, "Young Master Ge, were you just threatening an ordinary businessman by relying on your father's position?"

Ge Zeyu remained completely calm, leisurely sizing him up and down. "In what capacity are you asking me this question? You don't seem to be a shareholder of the Jiang family company, do you?"

Fu Xinyi seemed to have been prepared for this question. Upon hearing it, he simply put his hand on Bian Jiahui's shoulder and said, "Of course, as the future son-in-law of the Jiang family."

He spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world, and my dad didn't show the slightest surprise on his face, which surprised me. Fu Xinyi wasn't very resistant to Bian Jiahui at first, and didn't want to acknowledge the child in Bian Jiahui's belly at all.

Is this their way of dealing with me and Ge Zeyu, so they've chosen to cooperate with Bian Jiahui?

But then I realized that they were using my dad as a useful pawn, because they still needed him no matter what.

The best way to win over a pawn is to become family. Only in this way can my father feel at ease. They chose me before, but found that they couldn't control me at all, and I might even turn against them. So now they've changed to someone else.

Bian Jiahui has always been devoted to Fu Xinyi, and no matter what happens, she will definitely stand by his side.

Ge Zeyu turned to look at me, then seized the opportunity to quickly ask, "You mean you're willing to break off your engagement with Wanwan?"

"Of course!" He said those two words with a hint of gritted teeth, his eyes fixed on me like a venomous snake eyeing its prey, sending a chill down my spine.

"So I should be eligible to attend this meeting now, right?"

He asked the question knowing the answer already, and then asked Ge Zeyu what he meant by what he had just said, thus bringing the topic back to the present.

Facing numerous gazes, Ge Zeyu simply responded, "I was just kindly reminding Uncle Jiang, how did it become threatening him by taking advantage of my father's position?"

"If my dad were really capable of doing something so cunning, he wouldn't have targeted the Jiang family; he would have chosen someone much better!"

As he said this, he raised his eyes to look at Fu Xinyi, the implication of which was self-evident.

If Uncle Ge really intends to use poisoning to target people in the business world, the Fu family will undoubtedly be the first to suffer.

Seeing that Ge Zeyu had avoided the sensitive topic, Fu Xinyi chuckled twice. "Young Master Ge is being too sensitive. I was just joking. Our Fu family abides by the rules and would never do anything illegal or disorderly."

"That would be perfect." Ge Zeyu leaned back in his chair, looking nonchalant. "What I said earlier was just a joke."

Their eyes met for a few seconds before they looked away. Neither of them gained an advantage on the surface, nor did they suffer any loss.

Fu Xinyi turned to the other shareholders present and said a few polite words with a smile, "It's really kind of you all to be able to attend the shareholders' meeting today. However, as you can see, there's a small problem with this matter, which is a family matter, so it's not convenient for you to stay and watch."

He had already blatantly asked them to leave, so the shareholders naturally wouldn't stay. They all got up, saying they had things to do at home, and left the office.

I exchanged a glance with Ge Zeyu, who was about to get up and leave when Fu Xinyi stopped him. "Young Master Ge, in principle, you're not exactly a member of the Jiang family, but sometimes your actions make me feel like you're meddling in everything the Jiang family does."

His tone was sarcastic, his gaze fixed on me and Ge Zeyu, as if I had cheated on him, and the resentment in his eyes was almost overflowing.

I couldn't help but frown; his sarcastic tone made me feel somewhat disgusted.

“Ayu grew up under my mother’s nose since he was a child, so he’s practically her son. Does he expect me to just stand by and watch him get bullied to death?” I retorted without any politeness.

Then I turned to my dad and bluntly reminded him, "Dad, finding a partner is easy, but finding a project is not. If you lose this project, all your previous money will be wasted."

My dad's face grew increasingly stiff, and in the end he could only manage to stammer out, "This is a family matter, and we can discuss it slowly when we have the chance later."

However, Fu Xinyi persisted at this point, saying, "This is no longer a family matter. Our company is planning to invest more funds once the project manager is in place, so that we can complete the project as soon as possible."

Ge Zeyu stopped and turned to look at my dad. Clearly, both of them were putting pressure on him, and it was just a matter of which side he would ultimately take.

Seeing my father hesitate, Fu Xinyi added fuel to the fire, "Young Master Ge, don't be too aggressive. After all, your father has made quite a bit of headlines recently. If you gain a reputation for being domineering now, it will probably be your father who suffers in the end."

"And I heard that Mr. Xu's company had some trouble today. Mr. Xu has helped you two a lot before. Aren't you two planning to go and see him?"

Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but scoff. They jumped out so quickly.

Before I could even utter my rebuttal, Fu Xinyi suddenly received a phone call, and I vaguely heard the person on the other end mention that someone was causing trouble.

He couldn't sit still any longer, quickly stood up, and said he had important business to attend to at the company, so he left first.

When Bian Jiahui saw him leave, she hurriedly tried to follow him, but he impatiently pushed her away. "I have to go to the company to handle important matters. You don't need to come with me. Instead of doing this, you should stay here and try to persuade your father to choose between his two daughters."

They said they had to choose between their two daughters, but what they really meant was asking my dad whether he would choose me or Ge Zeyu.

Seeing how hurriedly he left, if I'm not mistaken, Xu Qing's message must have already been sent out, and the group that caused the trouble must have received the news, hence the backlash.

Seeing that Fu Xinyi had left, my dad breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief and waved us all away.

As soon as Ge Zeyu and I got downstairs and were about to hail a taxi, Ge Zeyu suddenly grabbed my arm and exclaimed, "Watch out!"

The instant I bumped into his arms, I caught a glimpse of a black figure rushing towards me out of the corner of my eye.
