Chapter 274: I Can't Rest Easy

Perhaps because of the heavy makeup, Lu Xiwán's delicate face was full of cutting sarcasm.

The sudden trouble also left the whole room of old men stunned.

"Just with these things I'm holding, as long as I spread the word to find my partners they could fill an entire train, Uncle. I am grateful for Grandpa Fu's extra care back then, so I don't want the Fu Clan to fall into others' hands. If we can cooperate, we will; if we can't, then contact me less!"

Lu Xiwán uttered a harsh remark, leaving Fu Zhuo no room at all.

Fu Zhuo was thus put in a dilemma; he couldn't answer Lu Xiwán right away.

Lu Xiwán sneered, "Everyone knows how much suffering I endured at Fu Sijue's hands back then. Today I'm not pretending to be clueless. Uncle, your goal is to obtain the Fu family; my goal is to make Fu Sijue pay the price he deserves."

"He must endure all the suffering I endured back then; if you can't even accomplish such a simple thing, on what grounds should I trust you?"

Her words rang out like a thunderclap, and Shen Shu also grew worried.

Putting aside whether he might betray President Fu, the very fact that Lu Xiwán is willing to help Fu Zhuo is already a big problem.

Lu Xiwán stared straight into Fu Zhuo's eyes, showing no retreat at all.

"Hahaha, fine! Because of your words, I will cooperate with you. The suffering you endured certainly wasn't in vain; as soon as there's a chance, I guarantee to hand A Jue over to you to deal with, without saying another word!"

Everyone present were ruthless people; from the conversation they could roughly guess Lu Xiwán's true identity, and each of them was left staring in astonishment.

One is Fu Sijue's paternal uncle, another is his personal life assistant, and the third is his wife who shares the same pillow.

What unforgivable act did Fu Sijue commit to be betrayed jointly by these people?

But Lu Xiwán gave them no time to speculate; she cleanly and decisively pulled out a blank sheet of paper.

"Some words are useless if only spoken; Uncle, you must show me your sincerity."

Since this is a major conspiracy, Lu Xiwán naturally needed to be cautious, and she was also indirectly forcing Fu Zhuo to give her an answer.

Just mentioning this made Fu Zhuo shrink back a bit; with the conversation at this point, how could Lu Xiwán possibly let him escape?

"Uncle, since you want me to believe, you must give me a reason. If you aren't even willing to agree to this, I truly doubt your sincerity."

With just this one reason, Lu Xiwán successfully held Fu Zhuo in a bind, leaving him with no way out.

At this moment Fu Zhuo was intoxicated by victory, and with Lu Xiwán's constant pressure and the surrounding provocation, he unhesitatingly wrote Lu Xiwán a guarantee.

After finishing, Lu Xiwán still felt it wasn't enough, and pulled a large block of seal ink from her bag.

Fu Zhuo gave a wry smile, "You've come fully prepared this time."

Lu Xiwán gave an embarrassed smile as if being praised, "When negotiating something this big, of course you must prepare in advance; I came with full sincerity."

Shen Shu silently took a sip of wine; under the alcohol's influence his senses were more dulled than usual, and he didn't even hear Fu Zhuo call his name several times.

"Could it be that you're just too happy?" Lu Xiwán suddenly said a cutting remark beside him, and Shen Shu instantly lifted his eyes, his gaze as sharp as a knife toward her.

Lu Xiwán seemed intimidated by him and flinched backward.

Fu Zhuo at this moment was completely immersed in his joy at having won over Lu Xiwán, paying no attention to the two's movements.

After the drinking party ended, Fu Zhuo and a group of old men were already drunk to the point of ruin, and Lu Xiwán still had to call a car for them, sending them back.

Only Shen Shu just blushed slightly, as if not affected at all.

Lu Xiwán also put away her smile, "Assistant Shen, if you're all right, I'll call you a designated driver, and I'll head back now."
