Chapter 161: Moral Kidnapping

Fu Huazhen's hands were raised, and he impulsively wanted to strike again.

But seeing the determination in his son's eyes, he suddenly gave up.

Even if I beat him to death today, he wouldn't compromise.

"Son, your mother's life is now in your hands."

“...”

Fu Yan at times would rather have his father beat and scold him, but when his father spoke with pleading in his voice, he truly didn't know how to respond.

“She had a difficult labor when she gave birth to you. I remember being in the hospital, it was the first time I heard her cry so heart-wrenchingly. She said she had to save her child!” Fu Huazhen looked at him, his gaze heavy. “I know you don’t want to give up, you love that girl very much, but she’s your mother! She brought you into this world, she risked her own life to give birth to you! Doesn’t any of that mean more than the girl you love?”

"Isn't there any way to make her accept Xu Qinghuan?" Fu Yan insisted, because he felt his mother simply hadn't gotten to know Xu Qinghuan. Once she got closer to Xu Qinghuan, she would like her!

Fu Huazhen sighed.

"Your mother will only accept Xia Wan'yu as her daughter-in-law."

Why?

"Remember when your mother was kidnapped? If it weren't for Xia Wan Yu, you would have lost her by now. Do you know that!"

Fu Yan was stunned. He had guessed that his mother must have other reasons for wanting Xia Wan to be there, but he hadn't expected it to be related to the kidnapping.

"I don't want to bring this up again, and I certainly don't want to think about it. You know that much already! Now the choice is in your hands. As for how you choose, that's up to you! I feel that even if I interfered, you would still have your own thoughts."

After saying that, Fu Huazhen went to find his wife's attending physician, leaving his son behind who remained motionless for a long time.

......

Xu Qinghuan here finally managed to stabilize her mother's emotions, but she herself was also in a state of turmoil.

It's not just because Xia Wan Yu framed me, there are also some other...

After Ms. Zheng Qiuzhi fell asleep, she went for a walk by the garden downstairs alone to get some fresh air. That's when her phone rang.

Looking down, it was Lin Secretary.

"Xiao Xu, Mr. Fu has withdrawn the notice. You can go back to work as normal. The Hong Kong project also has your name on it!" He was very happy, and Xu Qinghuan knew he wanted to tell her so she would be happy too, so she couldn't wait to make this call.

Xu Qinghuan fell silent for a moment, “Before things are investigated clearly, I don’t think I should put my name on anything.”

This time, Secretary Lin didn't speak immediately. Instead, she paused for a very long time.

"Do you know how much pressure Mr. Fu took for this?"

"..."

To be honest, I've been with President Fu for so many years and have never seen him take the lead for anyone! He's a businessman and should prioritize profit in everything he does. But this time, he took such a big risk not to remove your name. How can you just casually say you don't want your name on it?

Xu Qinghuan frowned, “He didn’t discuss this with me. If he had told me, I wouldn’t have let him do this.”

"Aren't you, living a bit too self-centeredly?" Lin Secretary's tone was full of disappointment. "Xia Xu, I never thought you were this kind of person."

“......”

"Yes, Mr. Fu doing this is his personal action and he didn't discuss it with you. Maybe you feel like everything I've said today is morally blackmailing you, forcing you to owe Mr. Fu a favor! But have you ever thought about this? Since the incident with Xia Wan Yu and you happened, Mr. Fu has been trying his best to help you! In fact, he could have ignored your grievances and injustices, or even didn't need to show up at all. He could just find an excuse saying he needs to go on a business trip and is busy with work."
