Chapter 442 undoubtedly pushed the young mistress further and further away.
Chapter 442 undoubtedly pushed the young mistress further and further away.
Fu Yunchuan grunted in response, his fingers tapping on the keyboard, a hint of confusion lurking beneath his dark, angry eyes.
His computer had its own hardened defenses, so if someone were to infiltrate it, he would definitely receive a notification, but he didn't notice it at all.
Even the reason he knew his computer had been hacked was because the other party had deliberately left traces on his computer.
In this situation, either the other party is using his computer to operate it, or they are extremely skilled; otherwise, he wouldn't be unaware of it.
So Lin Ke's methods are truly remarkable.
Fu Yunchuan's veins bulged on the back of his hand, and his jaw was clenched, clearly indicating that he was in a state of extreme rage.
"President, what are you planning to do?" Jiang Bai asked cautiously.
The main problem is that Fu Yunchuan's emotions are too obvious right now; anyone can see how upset he is.
"Tie him up," Fu Yunchuan said coldly.
Jiang Bai nodded without hesitation. He had been trying to persuade the president a couple of days ago, but Lin Ke's provocation this time was too obvious and went too far.
They even revealed that the young mistress and the president were married. It would be unreasonable not to deal with this.
Moreover, given the president's current mood and state, if he dares to contradict the president, it will probably only make the president even angrier, and the president might even deal with him as well.
Neither of them suspected the two children, and even Fu Yunchuan, who knew the two children had been there, didn't think of them.
Before leaving the office, Jiang Bai glanced at Fu Yunchuan hesitantly, but in the end, he said nothing and left to deal with the matter.
This matter must absolutely not be revealed.
"Wait a minute," Fu Yunchuan called out, and Jiang Bai, who had walked to the door, turned around.
"President, is there any other question?"
"It doesn't have to be dealt with completely. The matter of the secret marriage back then can be released appropriately."
Since Lin Ke was genuinely provoking him, he would just openly and honestly announce it.
He admitted that he hadn't thought things through when he secretly got married back then, and he now deeply regrets it. Making this public would be a huge help to him, especially since he and Nanxing are still married and their marriage certificate is still valid.
Lin Ke dared to provoke him like this, so he should be prepared to bear the consequences. How can this not be good news for him?
Jiang Bai knew Fu Yunchuan quite well. Just like now, when he heard Fu Yunchuan's instructions and saw the expression on Fu Yunchuan's face, he could roughly guess what it meant.
He nodded without saying much, but just as he opened the door again to go out, Fu Yunchuan called him again.
"Forget it, let's have someone clean it up and prevent this from getting out."
Fu Yunchuan's voice was tinged with helplessness and a hint of frustration as he spoke these words.
"Why?" Jiang Bai didn't understand Fu Xuyunchuan's sudden change of attitude. "This is actually a pretty good counterattack. Lin Ke dared to do this simply because he thought you wouldn't dare to admit it."
"If you just announce it directly, it would catch him off guard, but..."
Jiang Bai paused, hesitated for a few seconds, and then continued.
"But the young mistress is the central figure in this matter, and Lin Ke must have been told about the young mistress and your affair by the young mistress, otherwise he wouldn't have known."
"To put it bluntly, he was standing up for the young mistress. Even if she finds out, she'll just think that Lin Ke cares about her and feels sorry for her. Another drawback is that I'm afraid that if this gets out, the young mistress will be affected, and she might be sad or something."
Fu Yunchuan clenched his fist again. How could he not understand something that Jiang Bai understood?
But he didn't care about that. He just wanted everyone to know that Nanxing was his wife. They had secretly married back then, not divorced. He believed that as long as Nanxing couldn't let go of their two children, she would definitely acknowledge this identity.
As for marrying Lin Ke using He Ling's identity, he believed that Nan Xing would definitely keep it a secret for the sake of their two children.
Such methods are somewhat despicable, but what does it matter if they achieve his desired goal?
However, Lu Mingzhu's situation is also involved.
“Lu Mingzhu has been around me for years. If this matter is exposed, it will also hurt her.”
Fu Yunchuan's voice was low and his eyes were dark and unreadable, or rather, it was clear that he was unwilling to accept this situation and to compromise for Lu Mingzhu. In reality, he did compromise.
When Jiang Bai heard that Fu Yunchuan had compromised for Lu Mingzhu's sake, he was both angry and helpless.
He didn't know how to describe his feelings towards Fu Yunchuan. He felt a mix of disappointment and frustration, yet also a sense that this was indeed the right thing to do.
"President, are you sure?"
"What do you mean by certain and what do you mean by uncertain? Lu Mingzhu has always been implicated because of me. It's a fact that she saved me when we were kids, and it's also true that her body is like this because of me. What else do you think I can do?"
Fu Yunchuan looked at Jiang Bai with a calm expression, seemingly hoping to get a solution from Jiang Bai to properly handle this relationship.
"President, by compromising for Lu Mingzhu time and time again, you are undoubtedly pushing the young mistress further and further away. Is this really what you want? Do you think it's the right thing to do?"
"You've done enough for Lu Mingzhu, haven't you done enough over the years?"
Jiang Bai finished speaking and left. It wasn't that he couldn't understand Fu Yunchuan, but Fu Yunchuan's attitude had hurt the young mistress's feelings too much. How could he win her back so easily? Not to mention that the young mistress no longer liked the president.
After Jiang Bai left, Fu Yunchuan took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep drag, and exhaled, as if this could filter out the bitterness in his heart.
If he waits a little longer, he can resolve Lu Mingzhu's situation and send her abroad, away from his and Nanxing's life.
He will explain his relationship with Lu Mingzhu over the years to Nanxing then, and Nanxing will definitely understand him, right?
Fu Yunchuan's gaze pierced through the smoke and landed on his phone screen. He swiped his finger across the screen and saw the surveillance footage of Nanxing standing downstairs at the company yesterday, with two children in her hands. He took a screenshot and saved it.
This photograph has now become one of the few sources of solace for him.
He wasn't really sure Nanxing would understand him at that moment, especially since Nanxing's attitude had become colder with each passing day.
But no matter whether Nanxing still loves him or not, he will not let go, and Nanxing can only stay by his side.
Jiang Bai handled the matter quickly, and no one in the company dared to speak of the farce that had occurred that morning.
In the afternoon, Lu Mingzhu arrived at the company, accompanied by A-Kui.
Jiang Bai happened to run into her downstairs after finishing his business. Perhaps because of the conversation he had with Fu Yunchuan in the office, his attitude towards Lu Mingzhu was not very good.
Although he hadn't greeted Lu Mingzhu with smiles and pleasantries over the years, this was the first time he'd shown her such a cold shoulder.
Lu Mingzhu didn't understand why Jiang Bai's attitude towards her was so obvious; even though he didn't like her before, it wasn't this obvious.
"Jiang Bai, is work very tiring? You look a little tired, are you very busy?"
In the elevator, Lu Mingzhu asked the question as if it were casual.
Jiang Bai heard Lu Mingzhu's subtle probing and knew that his expression was too obvious, so he calmed down and straightened his expression.
"I'm probably just a little tired from working overtime these past two days."
"I see. You need to get some rest. I'll have to tell Brother Yunchuan not to assign you so much work later." Lu Mingzhu chatted with Jiang Bai with a smile, like a friend or a boss's wife.
“This is all within my job scope. Miss Lu, you don’t need to trouble the president. I have my own plans for what I should do and what the president should arrange for me.” Jiang Bai maintained a businesslike attitude throughout.
"Alright then, just make sure you get plenty of rest." Lu Mingzhu wasn't angry at all; to her, Jiang Bai's attitude had been like this for more than just a day or two.
As long as she can be with Fu Yunchuan, marry into the Fu family, and have a child with the Fu family, dealing with Jiang Bai will be a piece of cake, right?
Jiang Bai had other things to take care of, so he got off the elevator before Lu Mingzhu. Lu Mingzhu and A Kui continued to take the elevator to the floor where the president's office was located to find Fu Yunchuan.
Everyone knew about the relationship between Lu Mingzhu and Fu Yunchuan, especially since Lu Mingzhu often came to see Fu Yunchuan, so the secretary simply led her directly to the door of the president's office as usual.
Just because of the farce on the computer this morning, everyone in the company who knew the inside story was giving Lu Mingzhu a second look, including her current secretary.
They dared not tell anyone, but they couldn't suppress their gossip and couldn't control their gaze.
This computer incident is too strange. Lu Mingzhu and the president have such a good relationship, it shouldn't be some kind of love triangle, right?
In particular, the two have been childhood sweethearts since they were young, which is something everyone knows.
"Linda, what's wrong? Why are you staring at me all day? Is there something on my face, or is there something wrong with my makeup today?"
Lu Mingzhu stopped at the door of Fu Yunchuan's office and asked the secretary in confusion.
She had a good relationship with several secretaries in Fu Yunchuan's secretariat, so she still found it somewhat obvious that Linda would occasionally glance at her.
This isn't how I usually see her.
Linda was startled, especially since they were right outside the CEO's office. They had been warned not to leak this information, and if the CEO inside heard it, it would be disastrous.
Although she knew that with the door closed and the soundproofing so good, the sound was practically inaudible, she still felt inexplicably nervous, which could be considered a dereliction of duty on her part.
"It's nothing. I just haven't seen you, Mr. Lu, for a while, and I feel like you've lost a lot of weight, so I took a second look. I'm really sorry."
Now everyone knows that Lu Mingzhu inherited the Lu family company and took over the company. She also managed the company very well, making it prosperous. Therefore, everyone's address to her has changed from Miss Lu to President Lu.
Even if Lu Mingzhu doesn't know how to manage the company, as long as she inherits the Lu family company, people in the industry will have to change their way of referring to her.
"I see. Actually, it's because the company has been so busy lately that I've probably lost a little weight. Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken so long to come over." Lu Mingzhu didn't doubt Linda's words.
"President Lu, you should take good care of your health. The president is inside. You can go in first. I have other work to do. Goodbye."
Linda left with a smile, her steps quickening slightly. She was a professional; her frequent glances at Lu Mingzhu earlier were already quite unprofessional, and she couldn't do that again next time.
Lu Mingzhu glanced at Linda's departing figure, didn't think much of it, took the thermos from A-Kui's hand, knocked on the door, and entered the office.
Since Linda took the initiative to bring her here, it proves that there are no other staff members in the office, and someone informed Fu Yunchuan when Lu Mingzhu arrived at the front desk on the first floor.
Moreover, Fu Yunchuan had previously told them that there was little need to stop Lu Mingzhu when she came up.
Fu Yunchuan sat in his office chair with his head down, looking at the documents. When he saw Lu Mingzhu come in, he only looked up at her.
"Brother Yun Chuan, are you busy? Is it inappropriate for me to bother you at this time? But I haven't seen you in a long time, so I wanted to come and see you, and also ask you some questions."
Lu Mingzhu walked over and glanced at Fu Yunchuan's desk as if by accident. Several contracts and some planning documents fell into her view.
She stared at him for a few seconds before looking away, and Fu Yunchuan put down his pen without noticing anything amiss.
"Isn't the company busy? Why are you here at this time?" Fu Yunchuan asked in a calm tone, without any emotional fluctuation, as if he had no reaction to Lu Mingzhu's visit.
In other words, it could be said to be insignificant.
Lu Mingzhu never thought that way. She believed that Fu Yunchuan's attitude towards her was a sign of indulgence, and that no one else could talk to Fu Yunchuan like that.
She wasn't the only one who thought this way; everyone else thought the same.
"I'm not too busy, I have an assistant at the company to help me. My assistant and my mother both told me to focus on taking care of my health first, and take care of other things later."
Lu Mingzhu held a thermos in her hand and placed it in a conspicuous position.
Fu Yunchuan didn't notice Lu Mingzhu's little actions. He just got up and sat down on the sofa after hearing what she said.
Lu Mingzhu followed him over. Fu Yunchuan was sitting on a single sofa, so she couldn't sit next to him; she could only sit opposite him.
"That He Feng is indeed quite capable; your company has been operating well lately."
Despite her seemingly casual tone, Lu Mingzhu was genuinely excited. One could only imagine how capable someone must be to elicit such words from Fu Yunchuan.
He Feng's good abilities mean that her Lu family's company is also good. Then who will dare to say that her Lu family is not good?
"He's really good. If it weren't for him, I'd be in a real mess right now."
As Lu Mingzhu spoke, she opened the thermos, and the strong aroma of traditional Chinese medicine instantly filled the office.
Lu Mingzhu took a slow sip, intentionally trying to get Fu Yunchuan's attention, and Fu Yunchuan looked over as she wished.
