Chapter 1530: Sowing Discord

"Lao Liu, how are you feeling?" Meng Ge looked at his injuries.

"It hurts. That damn kid is trained; he sent me flying with one slap. I was stunned at the time—how does he have such great strength?" Meng Ge groaned in pain. Chen Yu had truly taught him a lesson in minutes just now.

"That kid is indeed trained, otherwise it would be impossible for him to come aboard alone and go against us," Meng Ge said, gritting his teeth. "And his relationship with the proprietress seems quite good, too."

"Big Brother, what should we do?" one of the underlings asked. "If this guy becomes the proprietress's friend in the future, won't our source of wealth be cut off?"

"That's right, Big Brother. We earn several million on this ship in one trip; if we change places, we'll have to start all over again. We can't lose this line," another underling added.

"Of course we can't lose it." Meng Ge's expression was gloomy. "Let's make a plan to get Zhou Fu to take action and seize the operating rights of the cruise ship."

"Zhou Fu? That guy won't work, right? He's just a piece of trash. He doesn't even dare to speak loudly in front of her." The group was slightly shocked; they had no hope for Zhou Fu at all.

"Heh, it's true that guy is a piece of trash, but for all these years he has been suppressed by his sister. Do you think he is satisfied in his heart?" Meng Ge sneered.

"Of course he's not satisfied. That time we were drinking, this kid let it slip that he was unhappy, intentionally or not. I understood what he meant: as long as there is an opportunity, he will definitely seize the operating rights of the cruise ship," an underling nodded.

"Meng Ge, I understand what you mean. We... we should be wanting more than just the casino on this ship, right?" a short and capable-looking man asked this question.

"What does Hu Ge mean?" Several big men looked at Hu Ge, confused, not knowing what Hu Ge was getting at for a moment.

"Xiao Hu understands me after all." Meng Ge chuckled. "Zhou Fu is indeed a straw bag. We can help this guy seize the ship, and then, wouldn't this ship be ours?"

"What about Zhou Fu?" a few underlings were still puzzled. "Will he agree?"

"Heh, this straw bag—a woman has him so infatuated, what great things can he achieve?" Meng Ge laughed loudly. "Let Xiao Yu whisper in his ear; once this kid contacts us, we can make our move."

"Good, haha, no need to worry about this piece of trash, because he really is trash." Xiao Hu also smiled sinisterly. "Xiao Yu alone can handle him."

In another private room, several empty wine bottles were already piled up in front of Zhou Fu. He was already drunk, and a seductive woman was persuading him on one side.

"Young Master Fu, drink a little less. It's not good for your health to drink too much," Xiao Yu said softly. "She is your sister; it's no big deal if she scolds you a few times."

"Bullshit..." Zhou Fu suddenly grabbed the glass in front of him and smashed it heavily onto the floor. He roared hysterically, "She did it on purpose, absolutely on purpose."

"She wants to tell me that the ship is hers, everything is hers. She never thought of me as her brother at all."

"Don't be angry, Young Master Fu. You still have me. Seeing you like this, I really feel terrible." The girl stood up and wiped away tears hypocritically.

She was Xiao Yu, and she was in the same gang as Hu Ge and the others. She approached the straw bag Zhou Fu definitely with other motives, but the pathetic thing was that Zhou Fu couldn't discover it at all; he still thought Xiao Yu was infatuated with him.

"Xiao Yu, I only have you. No one understands me." Zhou Fu wiped away his tears and muttered, "Sometimes, I really feel like I can't find any meaning in living in this world."

"Young Master Fu, don't be like this. I promise you, no matter when, no matter what happens, I will be by your side to accompany you. No one can separate us," Xiao Yu said solemnly.

Zhou Fu smiled. He wiped away his tears in a moved state, then slowly pulled Xiao Yu into his arms. "It's so good to have you, Xiao Yu."

"But Young Master Fu... there are some things, it's not appropriate for me to say, but I still want to remind you." Xiao Yu hesitated and said stammeringly, "I didn't say it before because I was afraid of damaging the relationship between you and your sister."

"Speak, I trust you. There is nothing that cannot be said to me." Zhou Fu let go of her and stared at her. "What exactly is it?"

"I feel that your sister suppresses you too hard. You are already an adult, and in my eyes, you are much more outstanding than her." Xiao Yu looked up at Zhou Fu. "And this cruise ship was originally left behind by your father."

"This thing should have been yours to begin with. No matter how capable your sister is, she is just a woman. Heh, a woman, what right does she have to inherit your father's property?"

Xiao Yu truly understood the human heart; she knew how to flirt and how to sow discord. With just a few short sentences, the expression on Zhou Fu's face immediately turned gloomy.

"She is very good at winning people over, and... she doesn't like me." When Xiao Yu said this, her eyes turned red, looking as if she had been wronged.

"What did you say? She doesn't like you? Why?" Zhou Fu exploded. Xiao Yu was so understanding, how could she say she didn't like her?

"On the surface, she treats me very well, but she has looked for me in private several times. In her eyes, I am no different from those bad girls. She thinks I'm not good enough for you and tried to make me leave you." Xiao Yu wiped away her tears.

"When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me?" Zhou Fu was really about to explode. He never imagined that Zhou Ran had gone behind his back to do such a thing.

"It has happened several times, but I was afraid of damaging the relationship between you siblings, so I didn't say it. But in my heart, I really felt terrible. I am with you truly because I like you, but in her eyes, I have ulterior motives."

Xiao Yu burst into tears. "Perhaps it won't be long before I have to leave you, because I understand her. She won't allow me to be by your side. As long as it's something she wants to do, she can definitely accomplish it."

"She dares." Zhou Fu couldn't help but be furious. He hurriedly comforted her, "Xiao Yu, it's okay. I already know about this matter. Don't worry, I won't allow this to happen."

"Young Master Fu... she has so many schemes. She controls the shipping routes and holds onto the ownership of this ship without letting go. What is it for? On the surface, she says you aren't good at management, but in fact, she just wants to take this ship as her own," Xiao Yu said.

"But... the money she gives me is quite a lot." Zhou Fu hesitated, not knowing what to do.

"It is quite a lot, but that's on the condition that she doesn't have her own boyfriend, her own children, or her own family," Xiao Yu said. "If she ever has those, Young Master Fu, do you think she will still be like she was before?"
