I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 111

Shi Nuan wasn’t worried. She just thought she had to inform Fu Chengyan about this matter. After hearing Fu Chengyan’s reply, a sense of relief washed over her. “I’m not worried. I’m just calling to tell you what happened. Actually, I have no idea why they sent someone to stalk me.”

“Yeah.” Fu Chengyan went back to his office and switched on his computer. Sure enough, there was an unread email attached with photos of Shi Nuan and Fu Xicheng. The photographer had caught them at a misleading angle; those who didn’t know them would definitely think that something was going on between them.

Fu Chengyan drummed his fingers on the table, as his eyes gleamed dangerously. “I’ll deal with this. Are you back home now?”

At that moment, Shi Nuan felt terrible, so she decided to spend some time outside. “No. I have nothing to do at home anyway. Are you busy?” A pang of guilt hit Shi Nuan when she suddenly realized that although she might be free, it could be the exact opposite for Fu Chengyan. Crap, I must’ve disturbed him. ”It’s alright. We’ll talk after you get off from work.”

“No big,” Fu Chengyan chuckled, “I’m not busy now!” At that moment, Zhou Zheng had already finished the meeting and came in with a pile of documents in his hands. With his brows raised, Fu Chengyan gestured for Zhou Zheng to wait for him. “Anything else?”

“That’s all, I guess. What do you want to have for dinner?” Since Shi Nuan was free, she was thinking of going to the market to buy some fresh ingredients for dinner tonight. “I’m heading to get some groceries now!”

“I’m fine with anything. You can decide for yourself.” Fu Chengyan said as his eyes softened. He took a document from that big pile and glanced at it. “Go back home after you’re done. If you’re bored, you can meet up with your friends too.”

“Okay!” Shi Nuan replied before hanging up. Indeed, only Fu Chengyan could soothe her heart. Her mood instantly became better when she headed to the supermarket.

After Fu Chengyan hung up, he raised his head and shot Zhou Zheng a look. Zhou Zheng, who was in a daze, immediately snapped out of it and gave the documents in his hands to Fu Chengyan. “Mr. Fu, these are the important points I noted down during the meeting.”

Fu Chengyan nodded and glanced at the email he had just received. “Send these photos to Shi Wei!”

Zhou Zheng was surprised. “Well…” He knew the photos were fake but hesitated anyway. “If Mrs. Fu finds out about this…”

“She won’t!” Fu Chengyan shot Zhou Zheng a sharp look as he arched his brows. “She’ll never find out!”

Zhou Zheng zipped his mouth shut instantly, knowing he had just made a huge mistake. “I’ll do it now!” He took the photos from Fu Chengyan and asked, “What if Shi Wei holds a grudge against Mrs. Fu?”

Fu Chengyan glanced at Zhou Zheng as he tapped his fingers on the table, “Do you think that she doesn’t hold a grudge against Nuan currently?

They both knew that Shi Wei was a terrible person. Even if this didn’t happen, she would still hurt Shi Nuan. “Sometimes, you need to resort to extreme means. Go!”

There’s no need to go easy on someone like Shi Wei. Though using Shi Nuan wasn’t Fu Chengyan’s initial plan, it wouldn’t do them any good if this matter dragged on. The only thing that mattered now was that Fu Xicheng had to marry Shi Wei as soon as possible.

As for Shi Wei, she was livid when she received those photos. When Jiang Yu came over, she noticed Shi Wei was on the verge of losing control, so she asked in concern, “What’s wrong?”

“Mom!” Shi Wei rushed into Jiang Yu’s arms, seemingly on the edge of a total breakdown. “What should I do? Fu Xicheng still loves that whore Shi Nuan. She…”

Instantly, a cold look appeared in Jiang Yu’s eyes as she obviously despised Shi Nuan too. “Don’t think too much. Xicheng and you are engaged. Why should you be worried about that damned brat?”

“We’re only engaged, not married. You know well that Xicheng…” Shi Wei trailed off, clenching her fists in frustration. “I don’t care! Xicheng is mine!”

Although she approached Fu Xicheng in the first place to take him away from Shi Nuan, she had already fallen for the man after spending time with him. The woman was happy with Fu Xicheng. If it wasn’t for Shi Nuan, who stood between them, Fu Xicheng would have fallen in love with her at first sight.

“Mom, help me. Please!” Shi Wei placed her hope on Jiang Yu. “Shi Nuan is no longer involved with Xicheng now, but why wouldn’t she stop seeing him?”

Jiang Yu stared at the photos strewn across the floor. Just then, her face gradually darkened into a vicious look. Looking at the photos, Jiang Yu gritted her teeth when she remembered someone else from her past. “Wei, don’t worry. I won’t let you end up like me back then. That woman…” Jiang Yu’s grip on Shi Wei’s arm had tightened subconsciously, causing Shi Wei to gasp in pain. “Mom? Mom!”

Jiang Yu regained her composure and stared at Shi Wei in embarrassment. However, Shi Wei felt that something wasn’t quite right. This was the first time her mother nearly lost her composure. “Mom, what did you say? The woman back then?”

“It’s nothing!” Jiang Yu’s eyes flickered before she patted Shi Wei’s shoulders. “I’ll help you for sure. Wei, if you’re worried, why don’t you just marry Xicheng now?”

“Marry him now?” Shi Wei gasped, “But I… I just signed a contract with Xinhuang after my career got into a slump. The drama shooting is going to start soon. If I get married now…”

“Both Xinhuang and Xicheng…” Shi Wei was stumped.

“Silly girl! The previous scandal affected your reputation. I know what you’re worried about. Think about it, if you marry Xicheng now, the media will get a new focus. As long as you maintain a good reputation with Xicheng, there’s nothing to be afraid of. You wouldn’t be breaching any clauses within the contract. On the contrary, you’ll even become the talk of the town. Besides, Xinhuang knows the buzz your marriage will generate.”

Shi Wei bit her lips. “You’re right!” She was so nervous that she had not thought about that. “What about Xicheng…”

A glint appeared in Jiang Yu’s eyes. “So what if Fu Xicheng likes Shi Nuan? Do you think they will end up together?” Jiang Yu snorted, “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of this. You’ll be satisfied with the outcome, and I will personally guarantee that. If you agree, I’ll make sure the wedding happens!”

“Mom, you’re the best.”

Jiang Yu acted swiftly since she knew if Fu Xicheng rekindled his love for Shi Nuan, their efforts would be in vain.

Hence, she immediately made a call to Fu Yuqing’s wife, Liu Minjun. Liu Minjun was a homemaker who couldn’t be bothered about the company’s affairs. All she cared about was her son’s affairs. Receiving Jiang Yu’s call was probably one of the highlights of Liu Minjun’s day, as it concerned her son and Shi Wei’s future.

When Liu Minjun told this to Fu Yuqing, he arched his brows in surprise. He was in quite a good mood while they were discussing their plans that night. “Is Shi family in a hurry?”

“I think so. Mrs. Shi called me today to sound me out. She also invited me to tea tomorrow.” Liu Minjun continued, “I think she wants to confirm the wedding date. What do you think?”

Fu Yuqing snorted, “What else? Of course it’s a yes from us.”

“Well…” Liu Minjun hesitated. She didn’t think that much since she was just a homemaker who knew nothing much about running businesses. The woman had met Shi Wei a few times and thought she was a pretty girl. Yet, strangely, she wasn’t particularly drawn to her. However, Shi Wei’s sister, Shi Nuan, did catch her eye instead.

Since Shi Nuan had dated her son previously, Liu Minjun thought they would end up married. But alas…

“I know what you’re thinking of, but you should know the Shi family despises her. She won’t be of help to Cheng. Shi Wei is different, as she has 15% of Huancheng’s shares. The Shi family doesn’t have a male heir. So if Shi Wei marries Cheng, everything they own will belong to him!”

Fu Yuqing, on the other hand, had already thought way ahead. Even though the Shi family wasn’t prestigious, they shouldn’t be underestimated too. Fifteen percent of the shares were still considered quite a large amount for a company that size. Even if Shi Wei’s grandfather refused to give her any of his shares, her father, Shi Jingzheng, and her mother, Jiang Yu, would probably transfer all their shares to Shi Wei in the future.

After all, Shi Wei worked in the entertainment industry and had no experience in running a company.

When the time is right, everything will belong to Fu Xicheng.

Thus, Liu Minjun immediately stopped talking about Shi Nuan. “Then I’ll go meet Jiang Yu tomorrow? If we reached a consensus, then Cheng’s wedding is decided?”

“Yes. Sound the Shi family out. Make sure they get married as soon as possible.” His eyes glinted coldly. The man was thinking about how Shi Nuan had affected Cheng and frowned in displeasure. “Shi Nuan’s a total troublemaker. I must make sure she leaves Fucheng!”

Suddenly, the door to the study was pushed open, revealing a stony-faced Fu Xicheng. “Shouldn’t I have a say about my own wedding?”

“Your say? Your say is that you agree to marry Shi Wei!” Fu Yuqing glowered at him. “What is this attitude? You were the one who insisted on dating Shi Wei!”

Fu Yuqing’s expression was filled with disappointment as he looked at Fu Xicheng. “A man of noble ambition does not bother about trifle matters. Just look at you. You chose Shi Wei, but what are you doing now?”

“I don’t want to get married for now!” Fu Xicheng’s lips formed a thin line, seemingly opposing their plans.

This time, Fu Xicheng would not back down. His hands balled into fists, and his decision remained unwavering. “I’m still young, and I want to focus on my career. Plus, you knew about Shi Wei’s scandal. She might not recover from that!”

“So you’re regretting this? You still want to be with that damned Shi Nuan?” Fu Yuqing was livid and didn’t mince his words. “Let me tell you. You must marry Shi Wei even though she’s embroiled in a scandal. Your wedding will dispel that scandal, and Fu Chengyan’s Xinhuang is capable enough to make Shi Wei popular again. You have no choice but to marry her!”
