Chapter 255: I Don't Want It Either

Fu Sijue's departure has already left the guests full of suspicion, and the words Yun Ruojin uttered as she fell make people even more prone to wild speculation.

They only knew that Lu Xiwán is Fu Sijue's missing wife, so the moment they heard that sentence, almost everyone assumed Fu Sijue had found the Lu Xiwán who had been missing for five years.

But only Fu Zhuo and the others knew that their plan had completely collapsed.

Let alone someone as clever as Fu Sijue, even a fool would see that they deliberately deceived him.

Fu Zhuo suddenly slumped back into his seat, his gaze vacant as he stared ahead, even his hands trembling.

He knows Fu Sijue will not let them go, yet he still wants to take another gamble.

Fu He Song watched Fu Zhuo's embarrassed state from the side, his own face also full of tension.

"Go contact the hospital right now and make the doctor who issued our academic assessment report leave immediately— the farther they go, the better. Don't let Fu Sijue find them; transfer the compensation money to him as soon as possible."

That way they could neatly shift the blame onto the doctor, but after arranging all this, Fu Zhuo still didn't feel relieved.

With Fu Sijue's abilities, sooner or later he'll trace it back to them.

They can only think of every way to stall.

Yun Wenkang, standing nearby, clearly heard their conversation and was also thinking.

Since the Marriage Alliance route is blocked, they must find another way.

"It seems I still overestimated your abilities; you can't even handle Fu Sijue, so what else can you do?"

Since this matter doesn't involve him directly, Yun Wenkang began to mock Fu Zhuo with cold sarcasm.

Fu Zhuo, exhausted in body and mind, still has to deal with Yun Wenkang.

"Fu Sijue lacks neither opportunities nor partners for cooperation; the Yun Family is a cooperating partner. If you now speak coldly, when the fire reaches our heads, none of us will be able to run away!"

They are now grasshoppers on the same rope; with the nest overturned, how can any egg remain whole?

"You know the principle that when the lips are gone, the teeth feel cold; now I need you to help me, otherwise none of us will have a good life!"

Heard that over there they have already started evacuating the guests, Fu Zhuo sat steadily in his chair and negotiated terms with Yun Wenkang.

The Yun Family now subsists on the old assets left by their ancestors; outwardly they appear splendid, but inside they have long been gnawed by insects.

"You have a good son; he sees things much clearer than you do. Our two families' destinies have long been tightly linked, so how can you even say 'no'?"

Fu Zhuo's tone was fierce, and at this point he no longer needed to continue arguing with Yun Wenkang.

Cooperation was always about each taking what they need; now that a great disaster looms, if Yun Wenkang flees, it will become trouble for their whole family.

"I will contact everyone who was present just now; today's information will not leak a single word. As long as the outside world remains unaware, our two families' Marriage Alliance will still exist. As for what to do next, you should know."

Fu Zhuo dropped that sentence and gave Fu He Song a look.

Fu He Song quickly stood up and helped Fu Zhuo leave.

Yun Wenkang squinted slightly, stared at the departing silhouettes of the two, and spat out a harsh spit.

What does Fu Zhuo think he is, daring to ride on his head! He's just someone who relies on the Fu Family's influence to roam outside, and now he dares to mock the Yun Family's weak power!

Yun Ruofeng carefully helped Yun Ruojin sit beside Yun Wenkang, then raised a hand to signal a servant to bring a glass of water for Yun Ruojin to drink; the banquet hall, which had just been bustling, now only had the three of them left.

"Father, you often taught me not to show my sharpness in public; just now when you were speaking with Uncle Fu, you went too far."

Yun Wenkang, already irritated, saw a flash of cold light appear in his eyes at that remark.
