Chapter 198 You're in trouble, so you're trying to morally blackmail me?
An Xiaoxiao stood there, dressed in an elegant fur coat, admiring her manicured nails.
An Ying frowned: "What are you doing here?"
An Xiaoxiao smiled.
"Hey, sister, Yecheng is such a great place, if you can come, why can't I?"
An Ying didn't want to waste time arguing with An Xiaoxiao, so she asked directly, "What do you want from me?"
An Xiaoxiao swiped her phone screen, opened a picture, and showed it to An Ying.
She said with a grin, "Sister, will you come with me to this dessert shop?"
An Ying glanced at her: "I'm busy."
Just as An Ying was about to close the door, An Xiaoxiao blocked it with her hand.
"Sister, why are you hiding? Are you scared just because you're eating a piece of cake?"
An Ying said calmly, "An Xiaoxiao, stop beating around the bush. Just say what you want to say. Do you think we're that close? Why would I spend time eating dessert with you? I'm afraid you'll poison me in the dessert."
An Xiaoxiao was speechless for a few seconds.
An Ying is right. The two sisters have never gotten along since they were little, and An Xiaoxiao's sudden show of goodwill only makes her confused.
After thinking for a moment, An Xiaoxiao decided to change her strategy.
She sighed and said, "Sister, Dad's energy project might be in trouble. I wanted to ask you for help."
------
Yecheng is an internationally renowned metropolis, with coffee shops and dessert shops lining the streets. Many tourists from all over the world and many foreigners are on the streets, creating a bustling atmosphere.
The house that An Xiaoxiao chose was rather secluded.
An Xiaoxiao enthusiastically ordered a blueberry cheesecake and a Black Forest chocolate cake for An Ying.
An Ying was in a bad mood and didn't have much of an appetite.
After Qin Jinchuan blurted out the news that Fu Chengli was going to arrange a marriage, this matter kept giving An Ying a headache.
She simply pushed the chocolate cake in front of her towards An Xiaoxiao.
An Xiaoxiao chuckled.
I thought you would really enjoy eating these things.
An Ying said coldly, "I have no appetite."
An Xiaoxiao said thoughtfully, "Come to think of it, we've never really gotten along properly from childhood to adulthood."
An Ying secretly prayed: Please don't say next, "I want to get along well with you in the future and be good sisters who love each other."
An Xiaoxiao, biting her fork, said, "Sister, you must hate me a lot, right?"
An Ying replied calmly, "An Xiaoxiao, you go your way and I'll go mine. As long as you don't bother me, I can treat you like you're invisible."
An Xiaoxiao said coquettishly, "Sister, I don't want to be invisible to you."
An Ying glanced out the window at the bustling street.
"An Xiaoxiao, then I'll make you pay the price."
An Xiaoxiao chuckled and looked down at the strawberries on the plate.
"Sister, actually, I've always envied you since I was little. A large part of my antics and tantrums were because of jealousy. You're prettier than me, have better grades, are more popular, and are better than me in everything. I always try to prove my existence in various ways."
An Ying said calmly, "So this is your reason for hooking up with Lu Qiyao? To prove your existence?"
An Xiaoxiao adopted an indifferent attitude: "Do you think I succeeded in seducing him?"
An Ying: "Are you going to cause trouble again when I start dating next time?"
An Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow: "Guess?"
An Ying suddenly realized how wise it was for her to choose not to make her relationship with Fu Chengli public.
If An Xiaoxiao dares to cause trouble again, this time she will be facing not just Lu Qiyao.
She also has to face An Weiping, Old Master Fu, and Fu Haidong.
She will be skinned alive by these people.
An Ying sighed silently to herself, not wanting to continue the topic.
"Tell me, what happened to Dad?"
With a strawberry in her mouth, An Xiaoxiao said lazily, "Didn't Grandpa Fu give the energy project to Dad? Energy extraction requires a batch of instruments, and the Huo family was responsible for the procurement and transportation of these instruments. Now the instruments have disappeared, and the project has been urgently suspended. But the construction schedule can't be stopped. Every day there are huge costs. If this matter isn't resolved soon, the project will fall through. Dad is going crazy with worry."
An Ying frowned.
Why is it the Huo family again?
It turns out that the specific construction of this energy project was a collaboration with the Huo family.
No wonder the marriage between the Fu and Huo families came so suddenly.
Everything was foreshadowed.
An Ying remained calm and composed: "Let him be in a hurry, who told him to stick his neck out and take on this hot potato in the first place? Do you think the Fu family's money is so easy to earn?"
An Ying thought for a moment, paused, and said, "Moreover, this is such a big matter, involving assets worth hundreds of millions, and it also concerns the reputation of the Fu family and the Huo family. What help can a nobody like me provide?"
An Ying chuckled: "You guys think too highly of me."
An Xiaoxiao blinked: "If you can't handle it, you can ask Grandpa Fu and Fu Chengli to handle it. They can always come up with a solution. Go and ask them."
An Ying refused decisively: "Let Dad find Grandpa Fu and Fu Chengli himself. I can't handle it."
Seeing that An Ying wasn't buying it, An Xiaoxiao grew increasingly annoyed.
If her father's words carried weight with Old Master Fu and Fu Chengli, would she need to beg An Ying?
Her face darkened: "Yes, your father used to have a bad temper and was cold to you when you were little, but he also raised you well. He never let you lack food or clothing. Why are you so cold-blooded?"
“Now that you have Fu Chengli as your backer, you’ve become a director and are doing better and better. Are you going to kick us while we’re down? If Dad gets into trouble, none of us will be able to survive.”
"An Ying, your father is in trouble right now. Are you just going to stand by and do nothing?"
An Ying picked up the water glass beside her, slowly took a sip, and said calmly:
“When I was a child, I was almost sexually assaulted. My father only felt that I would tarnish your and his reputation, and he despised me. Did you ever feel sorry for me for even a moment?”
“When Lu Qiyao broke up with me, you guys colluded to deceive me and even asked the media to prepare smear articles against me.”
“When I was at a low point in my career, you all stood by and laughed at me.”
“When I was in school, you refused to give me living expenses because I was in boarding school and didn’t have many expenses. If I hadn’t received a scholarship, I don’t know how I would have survived those years.”
"Now that you're in trouble, you're trying to morally blackmail me into thinking of a solution for you?"
"An Xiaoxiao, stop dreaming."
