Chapter 504 Adding Fuel To The Fire

Read Novel I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 504

Jiang Yu and Shi Wei were utterly frightened, while Shi Jingzheng also realized the graveness of the matter. "Well... Mr. Fu... Um, Yan—”

Fu Chengyan instantly threw him a fierce look, and he dared not utter another word.

Chuckling, Su Shaoqing walked over and scanned the members of the Shi family. He then looked over at Shi Nuan and Fu Chengyan. "Chengyan, you were just gone for a while, and your wife is already getting bullied!"

Although his tone sounded rather annoying, there was no doubt that he was trying to add fuel to the fire. Jiang Yu immediately felt the raging flames of fury coming from Fu Chengyan. She got up and anxiously tugged on Shi Jingzheng's shirt. "Zheng! Zheng, tell Mr. Fu that I-I didn't do it on purpose!"

"If it wasn't on purpose, then it must have been intentional!" Su Shaoqing raised his brows, seemingly enjoying the drama. "Let's put aside the fact that she's Fu Chengyan's wife for today. Now, she's part of the Su family, and she's called Su Nuan, the beloved daughter of the Su family, pampered by all of us." While speaking, he walked over and looked down at Jiang Yu and Shi Wei from above. "Say, why didn't you ask around before hitting her? Do you think you can pick on someone from the Su family?"

A smile formed on his harmless face, causing a wave of uneasiness to wash over those that saw it. Jiang Yu and Shi Wei shuddered involuntarily at that. "I... Mr. Su, we—"

Su Shaoqing chuckled. "Just look at you. If you have the guts to bully others, then you should also have the guts to bear the consequences. Why are you so afraid now?" When they heard his words, Jiang Yu and Shi Wei almost cried out of terror. Despite that, his terrifying gaze remained fixated on them.

Even if Shi Jingzheng wanted to help them, he did not dare to offend Su Shaoqing.

However, the latter had a point. Putting aside the fact that Shi Nuan was Fu Chengyan's wife, she was still Su Huaibei's daughter and Su Yumin's granddaughter. With her identity, no one in Jiang City would dare to trifle with her.

Whatever they did to her earlier, which included slapping her, was undoubtedly an affront to the Su family and the Fu clan. There was no way that either family would let them off easily.

"Nuan!"

Shi Jingzheng had no other choice but to turn to Shi Nuan for help.

Furrowing her brows slightly, she said, "I can overlook what they did to me, but Shi Wei just said that she fought with Grandfather over the stocks and made him faint from anger. There's no way that I can let this slide!"

"Nonsense! Wei didn't do anything like that. You'd better stop blabbering nonsense, Shi Nuan!" Jiang Yu could not help but rebuke her. However, her voice soon trailed away when she saw Su Shaoqing's innocent grin.

Shi Nuan pursed her lips. "It's not up to you to decide if she did it or not, and neither is it up to me." She then turned toward Mr. Yang and continued, "Mr. Yang has been working for Grandfather for decades. He's the one who knows him best and also the most loyal to him. Mr. Yang, I'm sure you heard what Ms. Shi and Mrs. Shi said just now, right?"

"Of course." Mr. Yang nodded. "You're right, Ms. Nuan. I witnessed everything." "Hmph. He's obviously on your side!" Jiang Yu refuted stubbornly.

Shi Nuan's lips curled as she replied, "All right. I have no proof that Mr. Yang and I aren't on the same side. But I'm sure the surveillance camera won't lie! After all, this is the hospital's surveillance system. I'm sure it is reliable."

"You..." Jiang Yu and Shi Wei never expected that there would still be a surveillance camera to prove their actions. At once, their faces paled as they fumbled for words. "I..."

Just then, the doors to the operating room were pushed open, and the surgeon walked out. Upon seeing Su Shaoqing, he called out, "Director!" The latter nodded in response. "How's Old Mr. Shi?"

"We managed to save him for now. It's just that he had a stroke before, and his blood pressure rose again this time around. It is evident that he got a heart attack from being infuriated. As he's up in years and isn't in good health, the situation doesn't seem optimistic, even though he's out of danger this time."

"What does that mean?" Shi Nuan could also sense the helplessness in the surgeon's tone. With her brows knitted, she asked, "What is that supposed to mean?"

Upon hearing her question, the surgeon turned to look at her and then glanced at Su Shaoqing. At the sight of a nod of approval from him, the surgeon replied, "His heart failure is worsening rapidly. Although we managed to save him, I'm afraid he might be bedridden from now on because of the heart attack and second stroke!"

Shi Nuan staggered backward at his reply. Fortunately, Fu Chengyan was there to catch her. She shook her head in disbelief as she said, "Please tell me that you're joking. My grandfather's health... My grandfather!"

Shaking his head, the surgeon continued, "Old Mr. Shi hasn't come to himself yet. We'll send him to the Intensive Care Unit for further monitoring first. I advise that he stays in the hospital until his condition improves."

"May, he's going to be fine." Fu Chengyan reached out and patted Shi Nuan on the back to comfort her. "Let's send him to the ward first. The doctor says that he needs to recuperate for the time being. Trust me. I'll replace someone to take good care of him, okay?"

After hearing that, Shi Nuan nodded. Her gaze then landed on Shi Wei, and she snarled, "It's all because of you! You fought with Grandfather and caused him to have a heart attack from anger!"

"So what if it was me? Shi Nuan, if it wasn't for a jinx like you, why would I need to argue with him? Huancheng's stocks originally belonged to me. I'm the daughter of the Shi family. You're nothing. You have no right to take it from me!"

As of that moment, Shi Wei was also beside herself with rage. Since Shi Yunsheng was already in that state, there was nothing left for her to lose. "Shi Nuan, what rights do you have to take it from me? I-” "Is that so?" Shi Nuan interrupted her, her expression hardening. "Initially, I didn't plan on fighting with you over this. It is true that I'm not a descendant of the Shi family. But Grandfather genuinely treats me well, and I have never thought of wanting anything from him. Since you claim that I snatched something that belongs to you, it would be a waste of your desperate scheme to frame me if I denied it." Someone like Shi Wei will never be considerate toward others, let alone believe that I'm tolerant of her. The more I compromise, the more she'll think that I'm an easy target.

Besides that, Shi Nuan also came to a realization. Since Shi Yunsheng previously insisted on having her inherit the stocks of Huancheng, she had to oblige and take over the Shi family and Huancheng now that he was hospitalized. "Shi Wei, you'd better listen carefully. Since Grandfather gave it to me, it's mine. You can't take it away from me. I'll take whatever percentage of stocks of Huancheng that he gives me From today onward, I am a stockholder of Huancheng. Mr. Yang, please take care of Grandfather for me."

"Yes, Ms. Nuan." Mr. Yang nodded. "I will take good care of him."

"Good."

Fu Chengyan shot Shi Wei a glance before heading out of the hospital with his arm wrapped around Shi Nuan's waist. As for Su Shaoqing, he stayed for a while longer after the couple left, then made his way out while clicking his tongue.

Shi Wei and Jiang Yu shook with anger. However, there was nothing that they could do to Shi Nuan earlier.

They were well aware that Shi Nuan could be so arrogant merely because she had the Fu clan and the Su family behind her. Yet, it just so happened that they were no match for those two families. "Zheng, what do we do now?"

"What else can we do?" Shi Jingzheng was enraged by Jiang Yu and Shi Wei. These two fools are just too short-sighted.

He could tell that Fu Chengyan and Su Shaoqing would not easily take action against others, no matter how powerful they were. The most important factor was Shi Nuan instead. As long as she was not involved, the two of them would turn a blind eye to the situation. However, if she were, they would never let those who harmed her off lightly.

Initially, the Shi family could flourish under the protection of the Fu clan and the Su family by exploiting the fact that they nurtured and raised Shi Nuan. Unfortunately, they were done for.

The reason that Fu Chengyan did not lay a finger on the Shi family or Huancheng was Shi Yunsheng. However, with the elderly man having suffered a stroke, there was no way he would hold back. Shi Jingzheng had a sense of foreboding that the Shi family's doom might be imminent.

Meanwhile, Fu Chengyan accompanied Shi Nuan in the yard for a while after returning home. It was late by then, but she still did not have much of an appetite. Only when

Cheng An adorably pleaded with her did Shi Nuan finally force herself to eat a few mouthfuls.

Seeing her leaning on his chest sleepily after eating, Fu Chengyan gently carried her up and laid her on the bed. At the sight of her frowning even in her sleep, his heart ached. He then turned around to head to his study.

"Why hasn't there been any movement at Court Martins?"

"There will be soon. Mr. Li said that there will be a meeting tomorrow." Zhou Zheng could sense the impatience in Fu Chengyan's tone. "Mr. Fu, Su Su is inquiring for you."

At that, Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes. "What is it about?"

"It's about Shi Wei. She wants to see you personally."

Holding his phone in one hand, Fu Chengyan placed his other hand on the table all of a sudden. An intimidating aura shrouded his face as he said, "Bring her to Prosperous Dynasty!" "Yes, sir."

Once Fu Chengyan gave the instructions, he kept his phone away and proceeded downstairs. Fu Jiayu just happened to be carrying Cheng An upstairs to rest when she bumped into him. Seeing that he was holding a coat, she asked in astonishment, "Didn't you just come home? Are you going out again?"

"Yeah." Fu Chengyan nodded. "May is asleep. She's been quite down today. Jiayu, please help me take care of her."

"I got it," Fu Jiayu replied and could not help but chuckle. "I know you dote on her."

Fu Chengyan reciprocated the chuckle. When he saw Cheng An leaning her head on

Fu Jiayu's shoulder, he asked, "Did she fall asleep?"

"Yeah. She's been playing for the entire day," his sister answered. A second later, she urged, "All right. You should head out first if you have something to attend to. Remember not to stay out too late!" "Okay."

As Fu Jiayu watched Fu Chengyan leave, a grin formed on her face.

Her younger brother had always been aloof from a young age, and he gave off the feeling that he was cold and unapproachable.

In reality, the two of them did not speak much to each other, leading Fu Jiayu to think that he was indeed unapproachable. To her surprise, she found out how warm-hearted he was on the inside later on. He treated his sisters with exceptional care and even more so with Shi Nuan.
