The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 373: Him
CHAPTER 373: CHAPTER 373: HIM
On the other side, Fu Youhan during Ling’s anniversary dinner did not need the assistance of a wheelchair, news of his successful proposal to Jiang Moxi also quickly spread.
Furthermore, financial newspaper reporters at the dinner scene captured several photos of Fu Youhan holding flowers, walking with dignified elegance, and even the scene where he kneeled on one knee in front of Jiang Moxi making a heartfelt confession.
These photos would be published in the Yan City Financial Newspaper the following day.
However, the information and pictures were intercepted by the Fu Family before they could be published.
During the dinner, it was passed on to Old Master Fu’s hands.
Looking at the photos of the spirited Fu Youhan, Old Master Fu flew into a rage, and directly hurled the photos at the old butler’s face.
"You useless people! When did his leg heal, and why wasn’t I informed!"
"Old Master, we also were not aware of this. Just this morning, our people clearly captured photos of Third Young Master traveling in a wheelchair!"
The corners of those photos scraped the old butler’s face painfully, but he didn’t dare to utter a single word of complaint.
Because he knew, if Third Master Fu can fully recover under the watch of Old Master Fu, a storm is surely coming to Yan City.
By then, when these two ferocious dragons clash, if these mere mortals are not implicated to the point of endangering their lives, it would be fortunate.
"Useless! A bunch of useless trash!"
Old Master Fu, furious, swept everything off the office desk in the study to the floor.
But even if he smashed these inanimate objects into pieces, Old Master Fu felt that his rage was hardly vented.
He stared fixedly at the scattered photos on the floor, looking at Fu Youhan’s sharp side profile, his gaze as piercing as ice laced with poison.
"If he can be so cunning right under my watch, he surely must be hiding things in his business affairs too. Go check right away, see what other assets are under his name!"
Just as the old butler responded, Old Master Fu asked again: "How about that useless Fu Wangning!"
The old butler hurriedly replied: "Miss just returned from the dinner, she’s in a very bad mood. I saw her crying when she entered..."
But even though the old butler somewhat defended Fu Wangning, Old Master Fu still rebuked coldly: "What’s the use of that useless girl only knowing how to cry? Tell her to roll into my study immediately!"
Thus, the old butler could only follow the orders and call for Fu Wangning.
As soon as Fu Wangning learned that Old Master Fu suddenly wanted to see her, she knew he must have found out about the incident of Fu Youhan standing up tonight and proposing to another woman.
She feared that Old Master Fu would vent all the fury brought by these sudden events onto her.
But what use was there in fearing?
She was brought back to the Fu family by Old Master Fu solely to control Fu Youhan.
If even this least of tasks proves useless, she would soon become an abandoned pawn of the Fu Family.
Fu Wangning still followed Old Master Fu’s demand and appeared quickly in the study.
As soon as she entered the study, Fu Wangning felt as if she was being watched by a cheetah, not even daring to greet Old Master Fu, just hanging her head all the time.
But what had to come would still come.
"Was it you who cured Youhan’s leg?"
Old Master Fu harshly questioned Fu Wangning.
"No."
"If it wasn’t for you, how could he stand up? If you dare to lie to me, I’ll have you thrown into the river to feed the fish tonight!"
Fu Wangning knew, Old Master Fu was not just threatening her.
She vividly remembered the night she was brought back to the Fu family by him, when Old Master Fu had someone show her how a traitor was thrown into the river to feed the fish, letting her know the end of betraying him!
Thus, from that day on, Fu Wangning was particularly fearful of Old Master Fu, only walking the path laid out for her by Old Master Fu, fearing to make a wrong step and end up as fish food.
Fu Wangning was almost scared to tears.
"Really, it wasn’t me. I did show him some patient recovery data, but each time I asked him to come for treatment, he refused. I have no idea why he suddenly stood up! I was just as shocked as you when I saw that scene."
Old Master Fu looked at the shivering Fu Wangning, also believing that this girl still didn’t have the courage to deceive or hide the truth.
Then, a layer of coldness covered his eyes: "It seems either his legs have recovered a long time ago, or those legs were never injured in the first place!"
Yes, the more Old Master Fu thought about it, the more he leaned towards the latter.
After all, so far, no one who has just recovered from a leg injury could walk as briskly as Fu Youhan did.
But damn it, he had clearly sent so many people to stay close to him, why couldn’t they find out anything?
Initially, he thought he could easily control Fu Youhan for the rest of his life, but now it seems, a fierce battle between them was inevitable!
So now, it is definitely not the time to vent anger in rage.
"Do you know who the woman he proposed to tonight is? What does her family do?" Old Master Fu asked again.
"Jiang Moxi. You must have heard of her before, Yiming’s former fiancée. She has been tutoring Ling Hua recently, it must have been how they got in contact."
Fu Wangning told Old Master Fu everything she knew.
Aside from wanting to confess and seek leniency, she also hoped to use Old Master Fu’s hand to get rid of Jiang Moxi!
As she expected, Jiang Moxi’s background and current abilities indeed didn’t receive Old Master Fu’s approval.
"I thought he had chosen a daughter from some noble family, turns out it’s just Yiming’s unwanted old shoes!"
Old Master Fu sneered coldly and then looked at Fu Wangning: "And you are even more useless, even worse than discarded old shoes!"
Fu Wangning was rendered speechless on the spot.
But soon, Old Master Fu added, "I don’t care what method you use, even if they are married, you must bring him back to your side, otherwise... I will arrange a good marriage for you!"
Facing Old Master Fu’s ominously frightening gaze, Fu Wangning knew this so-called "good marriage" would definitely not bring her any good days.
So she quickly nodded: "Even if you didn’t say so, I would still do it."
"Get out!"
Old Master Fu scolded once again, and Fu Wangning scrambled out of the study.
When only Old Master Fu was left in the study, he stared coldly at the heap of photos of Fu Youhan on the floor, his eyes suddenly flashing red.
"The more you grow up, the more you look like your father? Good, then I will never let you get ahead..."

Fu Youhan stood up and proposed, a historic moment that his good friend Ye Chen naturally did not want to miss.
So that evening, he originally wanted to take Yu Dingding along, having been invited to attend Ling’s annual celebration dinner, to witness this historic moment.
However, that same night, various internet influencers suddenly posted evidence of inappropriate management and tax evasion at the clubs registered under Ye Chen’s name.
As the incident exploded, Ye Chen’s people were trying to communicate with these influencers, asking them to delete the evidence, promising to provide proof of their innocence afterward.
But strangely, several influencers said that they hadn’t posted the video and they couldn’t even log into their accounts.
Later on, the issue of Ye Chen’s illegal management even hit the trending searches, and even when Ye Chen tried to divert attention by leaking news of an A-list actress’s affair, it was to no avail.
Because that trending search was pinned to the top through backend manipulation, and even the internal software engineers couldn’t remove it.
Ye Chen immediately thought of what Fu Youhan had revealed earlier, about Jiang Moxi being Hacker X, and also the recent return of Yu Dingding to his side...
Everything was linked!
So, when the police came to Night Color, asking Ye Chen to come to the police station for questioning, Ye Chen looked at Yu Dingding with a smile.
"Dingding, seeing me brought down, does that make you feel better?"
