I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 139

An Chenyu sized Shi Nuan up and felt that she looked a little different from what he had imagined. Anna had described Shi Nuan to be an immoral woman, but she had behaved very graciously just now. As she sat next to Fu Chengyan, she complemented him perfectly.

Fu Chengyan’s dark eyes fell onto An Chenyu. As they deepened further, An Chenyu immediately became conscious of his behavior and quickly withdrew his gaze.

“Please sit down, Mr. An. There is no need for formalities here!” Comparatively, Fu Chengyan was very calm.

An Chenyu sat down again, with his hands placed awkwardly on his knees. Mai Qi soon reappeared with the beverages and An Chenyu received his cup politely. “I wonder why Mr. Fu has asked me to come here today?” An Chenyu could not understand why Fu Chengyan was looking for him. After all, he had already agreed to release Anna and let An Group go.

Fu Chengyan’s lips curled up slightly as he released his grip on Shi Nuan’s hand. He opened his drawer to take out a document which was then handed over to An Chenyu.

An Chenyu took a brief glance at the document and realized that it was the An Group stocks that Fu Chengyan had purchased earlier in his bid to squash the group. Even though this was not the stocks in its entirety, it was still an enormous share, at least to An Chenyu.

An Group was not really stable to begin with when they were being crushed by Fu Chengyan. No matter how much ability An Chenyu had, it was going to be difficult for An Group to relive its glory days again.

An Chenyu knew this very well, but he still wanted to give it a try. An Chenyu’s hands began to tremble as he looked at the document. “Mr. Fu, what do you want from me?”

Fu Chengyan’s mouth curled up again. “You are indeed a smarty-pants!” He enjoyed working with intelligent people, as it saved him a lot of trouble.

“Simple. Here’s ten percent of the stocks. If you cooperate with me, they will be returned to you, on top of collaboration opportunities between An Group and Shengyuan!”

An Chenyu looked at Fu Chengyan with shock. It had never crossed his mind that Fu Chengyan would actually think of working together with An Group. If Fu Chengyan was really willing to work with An Group, this would spell endless progress and development for them! “Mr. Fu, please let me know what you’d like me to do. If I can fulfill it, I’ll definitely make sure it is well done!”

“It’s not some difficult tasks, and it’s not about whether or not you are capable of it.” Fu Chengyan said as his slim fingers tapped on his kneecaps. “Also, it’s not something that you need to do on your own.”

“Mr. Fu, what do you mean?”

“Your sister, Anna.” Fu Chengyan said. Caught by surprise, An Chenyu quickly said, “Mr. Fu, I know that Anna has done something wrong in the past. However, she knows her mistakes now, and has repented. She has just met Mrs. Fu yesterday, and has apologized to her. Therefore, Mr. Fu, could you let Anna go?”

Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes further with a smile forming on his lips. His eyes then fell on An Chenyu again. He did not expect An Chenyu to be this protective of his sister! “Mr. An, you have misunderstood me.”

“In that case, what do you mean, Mr. Fu?” An Chenyu could not help but heave a sigh of relief when he saw that Fu Chengyan did not seem to mean what he had thought. “Anna is really ignorant, so I wonder how she can actually help you?”

“Is your sister good friends with Shi Wei?”

An Chenyu’s eyes twitched when he nodded, “Yes.”

“Then, let her continue to be good friends with Shi Wei. I don’t think this would be a difficult task for Ms. Anna, right?” Fu Chengyan chuckled.

Shi Nuan kept listening to their conversation. When she heard Fu Chengyan say that, confusion appeared on her face. “Why would you allow Anna to continue hanging out with Shi Wei? Shi Wei….” Shi Nuan bit her lip and she could tell that Anna had definitely grown to be a little more mature after this incident. She knew Shi Wei too well. Hence, she did not want Anna to continue being with Shi Wei.

“What do you think, Mr. An?” Fu Chengyan raised his eyes to look at An Chenyu.

An Chenyu hesitated before saying, “This….”

He was no fool. He knew very well that all Fu Chengyan wanted was to use Anna as a pawn so that he could set her up by Shi Wei’s side. If Shi Wei still had plans to do anything to Shi Nuan, Anna would definitely know about it.

Indeed, Fu Chengyan had thought of everything, and he was very considerate and caring towards Shi Nuan. However, in most people’s eyes, it was not a good thing to do.

After this strike, Anna was not doing well emotionally, but here was Fu Chengyan, asking Anna to continue being good friends with Shi Wei. An Chenyu hesitated, as this was rather cruel for Anna.

However, with ten percent of An Group’s stocks dangling in front of him, together with the collaboration opportunities with Shengyuan Group, it was a very attractive deal indeed. Comparatively, Fu Chengyan was about to suffer a loss this time.

“Mr. An, don’t rush into an answer just yet. Ponder over it slowly and I’ll be waiting for your good news.”

Fu Chengyan then kept the document after An Chenyu had finally left. Shi Nuan bit her lip and got up together with Fu Chengyan. “You didn’t have to do that. If Shi Wei wants to do something to me, she can just confront me directly. Believe me, I am no longer that pushover Shi Nuan.”

“I believe you.” Fu Chengyan smiled as he reached out to caress her hair. “But you need to understand that it is important to defend yourself first. Moreover, Shi Wei is your sister, and you should know her character better than I do.”

Shi Nuan fell silent. “Fine, but if Anna is unwilling, please let it go. She has had enough punishment by now.” Shi Nuan was no saint, but she wasn’t cold-blooded either.

If Anna really were a heinous person, Shi Nuan would have no sympathy for her at all. However, Anna had already repented. Shi Nuan felt that there was no need to push her to the edge.

“You see, this attitude of yours is the reason why you keep losing to Shi Wei.”

….

Shi Wei’s wedding was to be held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel. It was considered as one of the most prestigious hotels in Jiang City, and early bookings were generally needed to secure a wedding spot here.

This wedding was very important to both the Fu and the Shi families, who made it into a huge affair, inviting everyone they knew. All the who’s-who from the business industry rushed to attend the wedding as well. However, they were not there because of Fu Yuqing, nor because of the Shi family.

They were there because Fu Yuqing bore the flag of the Fu family, namely Fu Chengyan. Fu Chengyan’s family was one of the most distinguished families in Jiang City, and it was everyone’s dream to have some form of connection with Fu Chengyan. Therefore, many industry giants used their connections to attend the wedding. With so many guests, the atmosphere was very grand indeed.

Luckily, Fu Yuqing had gotten Liu Minjun to book the entire third floor of the Grand Hyatt Hotel, which helped eliminate any awkwardness.

Mr. and Mrs. Fu Yuqing, together with Mr. and Mrs. Shi Jingzheng, were standing at the entrance to welcome the guests. Everyone had a huge smile plastered on their faces, and Fu Yuqing was extremely happy with the wedding

“How’s it going at the back?” Fu Yuqing asked Liu Minjun, who was busy entertaining the guests. She then suddenly remembered, “Oh no, I haven’t gone to see Weiwei yet. I wonder what she looks like now with the makeup.”

“I’ll take a look at her, In-Law!!” Jiang Yu was very happy today, as she could finally see her daughter marrying Fu Xicheng. Of course she was overjoyed. However, the fact that her daughter emerged the winner against that woman’s daughter thrilled her even more.

Liu Minjun nodded when she saw Jiang Yu’s enthusiasm. “That’s a good idea. At the end of the day, you are Weiwei’s mother, so you should know her better than I do.”

Jiang Yu then said a few words to Shi Jingzheng before heading straight to the back.

At that moment, Shi Wei was already done with her makeup and was smoothing out the creases on her wedding gown. When she saw Jiang Yu enter the room, she asked, “Mama, are all the guests here yet?”

“Not yet. Did you know that almost every single prominent figure from Jiang City is attending your wedding today?” Jiang Yu could barely conceal her excitement. “Wei, my beloved daughter, Mama wants the entire Jiang City to know that my daughter is the happiest, most blissful woman in this world!”

“Mama!” Shi Wei smiled shyly before asking, “Where is Xicheng?”

“He is outside, busy entertaining the guests. There are so many of them! Don’t worry, it’d be your turn to be busy later tonight.” Jiang Yu winked cheekily at Shi Wei. Shi Wei caught onto her meaning immediately and blushed furiously. “Mama, what are you talking about? Stop being so shameless!”

“All right, what is there to be shy about now that you are about to be married? Actually, I think you should quickly have a child after you marry Xicheng. Then, everything in the Fu family will belong to you.”

“Have a baby?” Shi Wei’s face changed. “I’m still young, and I still want to be in movies. My figure will probably change drastically after I have a baby.” Shi Wei was not very willing to have a child now. “Let’s not talk about that now, Mama. Is Shi Nuan that annoying girl here yet?”

“She?” Jiang Yu had been so busy with the wedding, she had clean forgotten about Shi Nuan. “I don’t know, but didn’t you say that you have already passed the wedding invitation to her? She will definitely be here, knowing how prideful she is. If she doesn’t attend your wedding, the rumor mill will churn again.”

Shi Wei’s eyes lit up. “That’d good. She is my only little sister. If she doesn’t attend my wedding, I would be really disappointed.” Even though these words came out of Shi Wei, there was a certain grim look in her eyes.

No matter what, people were probably already talking.

Shi Wei clenched her fists before finally looking at Jiang Yu. “Mama, I’ve been so happy and blessed, I can’t let Nuan be all sad and lonely.”

“You are always the kindest person around. Don’t worry, there are so many rich men at your wedding, I’ll definitely pick a good one for your sister. She will never have to worry about anything for the rest of her life.”

They smiled at each other while their eyes met. Shi Wei even held onto Jiang Yu’s hand and said, “Mama, you have always been the best to Nuan and I.”

Outside the door, a pair of dark eyes emitted a fierce glare. However, she returned to normal very quickly. Looking happy and proud, the two scars on her face did nothing to mar her beauty at all.
