President, the deceased lady has three more children

Chapter 456 Was there a lie about what happened 6 years ago?

Madam Fu's words caused Jiang Bai's expression to change drastically, not to mention Fu Yunchuan himself.

Jiang Bai subconsciously looked at Fu Yunchuan and, sure enough, saw Fu Yunchuan with a pale face, filled with restraint and regret.

If Nanxing hadn't survived, it would have been a tragedy of three lives lost, and just thinking about that scene and situation is heartbreaking.

Fu's mother couldn't hold back her tears, and when she spoke again, her voice was filled with sobs.

"Do you know how much it hurt me when I heard Xingxing say those words? I wish I could take her pain and go through all of that for her."

Fu Yunchuan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. He felt the same way, and he wanted to go through that ordeal for Nanxing.

"I didn't do it." A thousand words stuck in his throat, and in the end, Fu Yunchuan could only utter these few words.

Even if he were ruthless, he could never bring himself to harm Nanxing at that time.

“I know you didn’t do it, but Xingxing doesn’t believe it. And regardless of whether you did it or not, the damage has already been done to Xingxing, and you bear an unshirkable responsibility for it.”

"This person is definitely related to you, whether they are an enemy or someone close to you, otherwise why would that driver have mentioned your name?"

Madam Fu's words made Fu Yunchuan's eyes narrow. Perhaps it was the bond between mother and son, but he immediately understood what Madam Fu meant.

"Mom, do you have something in mind?"

"What do you think?" Madam Fu looked directly at him.

Fu Yunchuan's emotions remained relatively calm; he simply voiced Madam Fu's suspicions.

"Are you doubting Lu Mingzhu?"

"Otherwise what?" Madam Fu admitted directly, "After thinking it over, I realized that Lu Mingzhu was the only one who would benefit most from Xingxing's accident back then. Otherwise, why would we have used your name?"

She admitted that she had some personal reasons for choosing Lu Mingzhu as her answer, but she had thought about it seriously.

“No.” Fu Yunchuan still retorted, “Back then, I originally planned to divorce Nanxing. Lu Mingzhu knew this very well, so she had no need to do these things.”

"Besides, you know very well what her health has been like all these years. She's completely dragged down by me. If she really did it, why would she risk her life?"

“You…” Madam Fu’s face turned ashen with anger as she listened to Fu Yunchuan’s defense of Lu Mingzhu.

Looking at her expression, Fu Yunchuan sighed helplessly and said in a slightly gentler tone,

"Mom, I know you feel sorry for Nanxing and are standing up for her. I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. You don't need to get involved, because it's very likely that the Bai family was behind it."

Madam Fu wanted to refute Fu Yunchuan's words, but she didn't know how to refute them, because what Fu Yunchuan said was indeed possible. She just didn't like that Fu Yunchuan always cared so much about Lu Mingzhu.

If Lu Mingzhu were a good person, that would be one thing, but Lu Mingzhu is simply a person with a wicked heart.

"Is it really just the Bai family? Fu Yunchuan, do you really trust that Lu Mingzhu that much?"

"Mom, I know what I'm doing. I'll find out the truth."

Mrs. Fu was so angry that her breathing became much more rapid.

"Fine, fine, so you know what's good for you? Well, let's see what you'll actually accomplish in the end! Let's see what you'll do in the end!"

Fu Yunchuan remained silent; he did indeed have his own thoughts.

Although he had suspected Lu Mingzhu during this time, there was no cure for Lu Mingzhu's illness.

Jiang Bai could only remain silent; he didn't know how to bring this up.

Both the president and his wife made sense, and he even slightly favored his wife's opinion, though the president's side seemed to have a point as well.

Ultimately, he used to think that Lu Mingzhu was too scheming and two-faced.

But during this time, he felt that Lu Mingzhu was not only scheming, but also seemed to have a secret, which the president just didn't think was a problem.

Ultimately, the reason is still unsolvable because of Lu Mingzhu's health. If all of this is really related to Lu Mingzhu, then how could Lu Mingzhu's health be like this? It's impossible for her to risk her own life for someone else.

Previously, the president had also asked a doctor he trusted to examine Lu Mingzhu, and it turned out that Lu Mingzhu did indeed have health problems, and her previous medical records were not fake.

"Alright, since you put it that way, I won't care what you do, but there's something I need to tell you." Madam Fu tried to calm herself down.

Fu Yunchuan hummed in agreement, waiting for Madam Fu to continue.

“First of all,” Madam Fu looked at Fu Yunchuan, “since you say it wasn’t you who did it back then, I believe you, but you must find evidence quickly.”

Fu Yunchuan raised his chin slightly, indicating that he understood.

"And another, and most importantly," Madam Fu said, her expression becoming much more serious.

"It's about the custody of the two children."

As soon as she said this, Fu Yunchuan looked at her, his eyes filled with doubt and a storm that seemed about to break.

He seemed to have guessed what Mrs. Fu was going to say.

Madam Fu was not afraid of Fu Yunchuan's gaze either, and simply said what she had been thinking all the way.

"No matter what happened back then, you hurt Xingxing. And she risked her life to give birth to those two children. Even if we didn't see it with our own eyes, we can imagine the pain she went through. I can't imagine how much pain and hardship she must have been going through."

“If it weren’t for Xingxing, how could we have two such lovely and smart babies? That’s why I’ve never thought about getting custody of the children back. The two children can only belong to Nanxing. No one can take them away from her, including you.”

Finally, Mrs. Fu spoke the word "you" with particular seriousness and determination.

Even though he knew this would be the outcome, Fu Yunchuan still felt a sharp pain in his heart when he heard it with his own ears.

He looked at Madam Fu with an expressionless face and said,

“That’s your idea. My idea is that I will not abandon Nanxing and the two children. They must come back to the Fu family with me.”

What he didn't say was that he also wanted to bring that little girl home, and the phone call he had with her that day made him even more determined to do so.

Wouldn't it be better for the little girl to go back to the Fu family with him? He can give her better things than Lin Ke could, and he can also keep the little girl and Nanxing together, which would be a good thing for Nanxing as well.

Fu Yunchuan's obsession was already very obvious, and Madam Fu was both angry and powerless.

"In short, with your grandma and me here, you won't be able to bully Nanxing this time. I came here to tell you to find out what happened six years ago. Fu Yunchuan, are you really getting worse as you get older? You can't even find out what happened six years ago?"

She took the insulated box and got up to leave.

She knew these words were a bit harsh, but there was no other way; she had to say them. She needed to get to the bottom of what happened six years ago as soon as possible.

"Mom," Fu Yunchuan looked up at Madam Fu, "If it weren't for Nanxing and the two children, I wouldn't be able to survive. Do you believe me?"

He spoke these words in a calm tone, as if he were simply saying that the weather was nice today.

Madam Fu's hand tightened suddenly as she held the insulated food container, a sharp pain shooting through her chest. She looked at Fu Yunchuan in disbelief and asked,

"Are you threatening me?"

"No, I'm just stating the facts for you."

"State the facts?" Madam Fu's face turned ashen with anger. "Fu Yunchuan, what exactly do you want? Do you want to drive me and your grandmother to our deaths?"

"You were the one who rejected Nanxing back then, so what right do you have to ruin her life now?"

“I didn’t mean to sabotage things, I just wanted her back with me, that’s all.”

"That's all? What do you mean by 'that's all'? Xingxing is living a very happy life with Lin Ke and the children. Do you really have to break up their whole family?"

When Madam Fu spoke of her family, she herself felt distressed and heartbroken.

She dreamed that Nanxing was still in the Fu family, but she couldn't. How could she do that? They were the ones who wronged Nanxing back then.

"Am I the one who wants to break them up? Isn't it him who's trying to break me and Nanxing up? Nanxing and I got married first. Besides, how do you know that Lin Ke is really good to her?"

"What do you mean?"

Madam Fu paid little attention to what Fu Yunchuan had said earlier; what she cared about was the last sentence he uttered.

"What do you know? What do you mean Lin Ke isn't really good to Nan Xing? Don't Nan Xing and he have a good relationship?"

“You should go back now. I know what I should do. I won’t hurt Nanxing and the two children.”

Fu Yunchuan got up and walked towards his desk, and Madam Fu yelled at him from behind.

"Unless you deal with Lu Mingzhu, or even the Lu family, I will not agree, and you can forget about succeeding! Fu Yunchuan, I will not let you be so willful again!"

Fu Yunchuan paused for a moment, then sat down in his office chair without saying a word to continue his work.

He did not respond to Madam Fu's angry shouts. He would handle Lu Mingzhu's matter, but there was no need to tell Madam Fu at this time.

Madam Fu snorted coldly and had no choice but to leave with the insulated food container.

Jiang Bai said something to Fu Yunchuan and then went to see Madam Fu off.

This was the first time Madam Fu had ever yelled so loudly without regard for her image, so you can imagine how angry she was. He was a little worried and thought it best to personally escort Madam Fu to her car.

In the president's private elevator, Mrs. Fu's tense emotions gradually eased, and then she let out a heavy sigh, looking extremely tired, as if she had aged several years in an instant.

In front of Jiang Bai, she didn't need to hide her inner emotions.

"Madam, please don't upset yourself. Trust the CEO, he will handle these matters well."

"He can handle it? Xiaobai, do you think he can handle it? He's become obsessed with Nanxing to an indescribable degree."

“If he had always treated Nanxing this well, that would have been fine. I know my own son. But he hurt Nanxing back then, so why should he ruin her happiness now? We have already wronged her enough.”

Jiang Bai didn't know how to answer, so he could only remain silent.

"By the way, Xiaobai, what did Yunchuan say about Xingxing and Lin Ke not being as good as they seem? Did you know about this? Is Lin Ke not good to Xingxing? But Xingxing always tells me that they have a very good relationship."

“I know Xingxing. When she told me those things, she was serious and didn’t seem to be lying. The children also said that they have a very good relationship.”

Madam Fu's already bad mood worsened, or rather, her heart was in turmoil after hearing Fu Yunchuan say that Lin Ke and Nan Xing weren't as good as they seemed on the surface.

Her greatest wish was for her children to be well. Now that Fu Yunchuan was in this state, Nanxing being well was the last bit of comfort in her heart.

Now that she's heard rumors that Nanxing might not be doing well either, how could she not worry?

"Well... Madam, I'm not entirely clear on the specifics right now, and the president himself may not have figured it out yet either. It's a bit complicated. But you can trust the president; he wouldn't harm the young mistress. You know how the president has been since the young mistress's accident six years ago."

Jiang Bai still spoke up for Fu Yunchuan, especially after learning that Lin Ke might have a relationship with Amy, he became even more inclined to side with the president.

Madam Fu let out another heavy sigh. How could she not know Fu Yunchuan's condition over the years? It was precisely because she knew that she was both angry and heartbroken.

“He brought this upon himself, so he has no one to blame but himself. No matter how painful it is, he has to endure it, and no matter how reluctant he is, he has to let go.”

Jiang Bai agreed with Madam Fu's words, so he did not refute them.

"Xiaobai, try to persuade Yunchuan to let go. Just pretend he never knew Xingxing was alive, and let her be her Bugui, or the eldest daughter of the Yun family."

"If he can do that, I won't care what happens between him and Lu Mingzhu in the future." When they arrived at the underground parking lot, Madam Fu solemnly gave Jiang Bai another instruction.

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Bai's face first showed a hint of surprise, and then he shook his head with a touch of difficulty.

“Madam, this matter is probably very difficult. You are aware of the president’s obsession and persistence towards the young mistress.”

Madam Fu closed her eyes briefly. "What about Lu Mingzhu? If Lu Mingzhu's matter isn't resolved, what right does he have to be so persistent and reluctant?"

After much hesitation, Jiang Bai still revealed a few words to Madam Fu.

"Madam, the president is working on resolving this step by step. Lu Mingzhu saved the president back then, and her health deteriorated because of the president. It's impossible for the president to really ignore her for the time being."

"Solving it step by step? In other words, what is Yun Chuan doing now?"

Jiang Bai simply looked at her, without saying a word or denying anything.

Madam Fu felt uneasy. She understood that Jiang Bai meant he had tacitly agreed, but she didn't believe Fu Yunchuan could handle it well, because over the years, Lu Mingzhu's position in Fu Yunchuan's heart had become very different.

"You really didn't lie about what happened six years ago?" Madam Fu asked the last question.

Jiang Bai nodded truthfully, "Everything he said in the office was true, absolutely no lie. Madam, please believe the president about this matter."

"Why wouldn't I trust him? If I didn't trust him, I wouldn't have come to the company to find him after having dinner with Xingxing."

"Alright, you can go upstairs and get back to work. I'm going back now."

Mrs. Fu closed the car door and prepared to return to the old house.

Jiang Bai watched the car leave before returning to Fu Yunchuan's office, where he found Fu Yunchuan smoking again.
