Addicted to Love, Mr. Fu’s Newly Married Wife

Chapter 1501 The lion opens its mouth

"Offended others? No, I don't even know you, who did I offend?" Chen Lulu looked at the man in front of her and felt that he looked a little familiar.

"You are...Fu Yanchen, President Fu?" Chen Lulu's heart trembled. When she was abroad, she had heard that this man was cruel and ruthless.

"Well, you have some knowledge." Fu Yanchen nodded.

"Mr. Fu, I... don't have any connection with you. What are you doing? Besides, Mr. Fu's way of inviting people is a bit unusual."

Chen Lulu pinched her wrist which was hurt by several bodyguards.

"It's not that I haven't treated you politely. I've invited you politely many times, but you always seem to be deliberately avoiding me and just don't come. I have no choice but to use force."

Fu Yanchen sat on a large leather office chair, leaning back slightly, playing with an exquisite fountain pen in his hand. The metal pen body turned flexibly between his slender fingers, flashing a cold luster.

His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, fixed directly on Chen Lulu who was standing in front of him, as if he wanted to see through her.

Chen Lulu stood upright, trying her best to maintain a calm expression on her face, but her fingers, which were tightly folded together and even turned slightly white from the force, betrayed the nervousness deep in her heart.

She could feel Fu Yanchen's gaze as real as a substance, like an invisible sharp blade, cutting her skin painfully.

In this quiet and somewhat depressing office, she seemed to be in an invisible storm, and Fu Yanchen was the center of the storm, which could swallow her up at any time.

"Mr. Fu, I...I did have some personal matters to deal with."

Chen Lulu took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound steady, but the slightly trembling ending still revealed her uneasiness.

The man in front of me has thunder-like methods. If you anger him, the consequences will be disastrous.

Fu Yanchen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a hint of sneer, "Private matter? Humph, I think you don't even take me seriously."

The pen in his hand suddenly stopped and slammed heavily on the desk, making a dull "bang" sound that was particularly harsh in this silent space.

Chen Lulu's body trembled unconsciously, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if it was about to burst through her chest.

"Mr. Fu, you misunderstood. You and I have never met before. I thought you had the wrong person, so..."

Fu Yanchen's eyes were cold, like an icy blade in the cold winter, piercing straight at Chen Lulu, "Intersection? There will be soon. Do you think you can hide all the good things you did?"

Chen Lulu's heart skipped a beat, but she forced herself to remain calm, forcing a stiff smile. "Mr. Fu, I don't understand what you're talking about. I've always been an honest person and haven't done anything shameful."

Fu Yanchen's lips curled up into a mocking smile, and he slowly walked towards Chen Lulu, "Being honest? You framed Yi Feng's father to create a fictitious child to blackmail him, and you call this being honest?"

Chen Lulu's face turned pale instantly, and a flash of panic flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. "Mr. Fu, you can't say that. You slander me like this without any evidence. I can sue you. He and I really do have a child."

Fu Yanchen stopped and stood less than a meter away from Chen Lulu, looking down at her. "Evidence? I, Fu Yanchen, want to find evidence. Am I afraid I won't find it? However, I didn't come here to discuss evidence with you. Tell me, what do you want before you admit that the child has nothing to do with the Nan family?"

Chen Lulu bit her lip, calculating rapidly in her mind. The man before her was imposing, and she knew she couldn't get any advantage from him, but she was unwilling to give up the benefits she had already obtained.

"Mr. Fu, I'm just a weak woman who was bullied by the Nan family. I just want an explanation. The Nan family must give me compensation, otherwise my reputation will be ruined. How will I live in the future?"

Fu Yanchen sneered, "Weak woman? You really know how to flatter yourself. Who do you think you can fool with those little tricks? Tell me, how much do you want?"

Chen Lulu's eyes lit up, and she was secretly delighted, thinking there was a chance. "Mr. Fu, I don't ask for much, just 10% of Nan's shares."

Fu Yanchen narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous aura emanated from his body. "Haha, you dare to speak up. Do you think you are worth this price?"

Chen Lulu was frightened by Fu Yanchen's momentum and took a step back, but she still said stubbornly: "Mr. Fu, this is my minimum request. If the Nan family doesn't give me this money, I will make this matter bigger and let everyone know about the Nan family's scandal."

Fu Yanchen suddenly reached out, grabbed Chen Lulu's chin, and squeezed it hard. "Make a big fuss? Do you think you have the chance? I advise you to be more sensible, otherwise, I don't mind making you disappear from this world."

Chen Lulu was in so much pain that tears came out. She tried to break free from Fu Yanchen's hand, but to no avail. "Mr. Fu, you can't do this. This is illegal."

Fu Yanchen sneered, "Breaking the law? Do you think I'm afraid? When you were plotting against the Nan family, you should have thought this would happen. Now, I'm giving you two choices. One is to change your words and admit that the child has nothing to do with the Nan family, and I'll let you go. The other is to continue to be stubborn and bear the consequences yourself."

Chen Lulu looked at Fu Yanchen's cold eyes, her heart filled with fear, but... she couldn't give up on the Nan family, this big tree.

The gears of fate have already turned to this point, like a train speeding on the edge of a cliff, there is no turning back, every step is on the edge of life and death, and every step determines the final outcome.

Chen Lulu took a deep breath, as if she had mustered up all her courage, and finally spoke. Her voice was resolute and a little helpless.

"Mr. Fu, this is the tangled web of grievances and entanglements between me and the Nan family. It's like a tangled mess that can only be unraveled by me. It has nothing to do with you. I really don't want to talk about this with you. I'm like a wounded little animal who only wants to hide in his own corner to lick his wounds instead of facing the turmoil of the outside world. I'm going to talk to Nan Yifeng's father. He is the most critical person in this matter. Only he can give me a reasonable explanation."

Fu Yanchen's originally calm expression changed slightly after hearing Chen Lulu's words, as if a stone was thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

He slowly took out a cigarette from the exquisite cigarette case. His movements were elegant and a little lazy, as if he was enjoying this moment of tranquility.

Seeing this, the bodyguard beside him hurried forward and lit it for him with skillful and careful movements.

You know, during the time when Xu Xiaoxiao was pregnant, Fu Yanchen had almost quit smoking for her health and the safety of the baby in her womb. The curling green smoke was like the desire he had once restrained, which was now rising quietly again.

Now that Xiaoxiao is not around, he can smoke a cigarette to relieve his boredom, letting the smoke flow in his lungs, as if it can take away a bit of the boredom in his heart.

Fu Yanchen held the exquisite cigarette between his bony fingers, placed it to his lips and took a light puff, then slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.

The smoke curled up in front of him like a layer of gauze, blurring his angular face but adding a touch of mystery and coldness.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes revealing an unquestionable majesty, and then he spoke casually, his voice low and magnetic, as if carrying an invisible oppressive force.

“Chen Lulu, are you really stupid or are you doing this on purpose? Don’t you understand now that you are sitting here?”

Chen Lulu's face looked a little unhappy. This Fu Yanchen was not as easy to deal with as Nan Yifeng. He seemed to be able to get along with both the black and white worlds.

"I... represent the Nan family's position at this moment. My words are the Nan family's opinions. I have the absolute right to make the final decision on this matter. So, you can just state your conditions directly. There's no need to hide them. After all, you're in it for the money, right?"

"Really? You can decide?"

"Of course, I invited you here because you should know that I already know everything that happened between you. The Nan family doesn't want to be involved with you in the slightest and has given me full authority to handle this matter. They won't get involved in this mess. There is absolutely no substantive relationship between you and Nan Yifeng's father. Everyone present knows this, just like transparent glass, which can be seen through at a glance."

"Just think of it as spending money to ward off disaster. Aren't many troubles in this world solvable with money? But, you'd better not go too far and force me to take tough measures. Otherwise, the consequences will be something you can't afford."

Chen Lulu clenched her hands secretly under the table, her nails almost digging into her palms, as if this could give her the courage to fight the man in front of her.

She raised her head abruptly, her eyes staring straight at Fu Yanchen like burning torches, her voice filled with a desperate determination: "Mr. Fu, what if I refuse to talk to you? What if I insist on meeting the Nan family? I will never let anyone manipulate me, even if you represent the Nan family!"

Fu Yanchen, who was originally leaning lazily on the back of the chair, leaned forward slightly, and his sharp eyes like an eagle instantly locked onto Chen Lulu, as if he wanted to see through her completely.

A mocking sneer curled up the corner of his mouth. The laugh seemed to come from an ice cellar, with a biting chill. "Chen Lulu, don't refuse a toast and then drink a penalty. You only have one chance. If you don't talk, there will be no more. I have plenty of ways to make you surrender. You have to think clearly. Once this door closes, it will never open again for you. When that happens, you may lose far more than you imagine."

Chen Lulu felt her heart beating wildly in her chest, like a wild beast trapped in a cage, trying to break free.

She subconsciously clenched her fingers, her knuckles turning white from the force, as if this could steady her shaky heart. After a while, she spoke.

"Okay, since you've said that, I'm not being unreasonable. I'll... take a step back."

"Speak." Fu Yanchen didn't want to talk to her.

"My requirements are modest. I just want a villa in a prime location in the city center, where every inch of land is priceless and every building symbolizes nobility and luxury. Plus, fifty million US dollars, which is enough for me to live comfortably for the rest of my life and do whatever I want. These are my conditions, non-negotiable. Don't think you can just push me around. I'm not a pushover!"

Fu Yanchen seemed to have heard the most absurd joke in the world. The corners of his mouth raised high, and his laughter echoed wantonly in his office. But that laughter seemed to come from the depths of an ice cellar, without a trace of warmth. His eyes were as cold as an ice blade in the cold night, piercing straight at Chen Lulu.

"Heh..." This was the funniest joke he had heard this year, and that was not even asking for much. He suddenly thought of Xu Xiaoxiao, that little girl who didn't want his money and was determined to escape from him. Why was there such a big difference between people?

"What are you laughing at, Mr. Fu? I gave him my entire youth."

"Haha, youth? Your youth is so valuable! Let's not even talk about how much that 50 million US dollars would be worth in RMB. Just the villa in the city center is probably worth hundreds of millions of yuan! You're asking for it like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey. You're asking for too much! Aren't you afraid of starving yourself to death? Besides, do you really think the Nan family is a lamb that you can slaughter at will?"

Chen Lulu's body stiffened slightly, but she quickly forced herself to calm down. She straightened her back and met Fu Yanchen's sharp gaze with pretended calmness. Although her voice was trembling, she still managed to speak.

"Don't ask for too much. I will go to the Nan family. The Nan family is so rich, they don't care. This money is nothing compared to 10% of the shares. Over the years, the pain I have suffered and the things I have lost, how can this mere villa and 50 million US dollars make up for it? In my heart, I still think it's not enough. If you don't want to give it, then there is no need to talk about it. I, Chen Lulu, am not someone who can't live without the Nan family, but..."

She clenched her hands tightly at her sides, her nails digging into her flesh, trying to give herself a bit of courage. Fu Yanchen's pupils suddenly constricted, and a dangerous aura surged in his eyes like a dark night tide. His gaze was like two poisoned blades, piercing Chen Lulu straight, as if to cut her into pieces. In his eyes, this woman was like an ant, recklessly trying to snatch food from a tiger's mouth. Haha, she was so greedy.

He slowly stood up, his tall body like a towering mountain, approaching Chen Lulu step by step with an irresistible sense of oppression.

Every step seemed to be stepping on Chen Lulu's heart, making her heart beat faster involuntarily.

The corner of his mouth curled up into a mocking sneer, and his voice was low and cold, as if it came from the Nine Nether Hell: "Chen Lulu, haha, so much money, you really dare to take it?"

"Of course." Chen Lulu nodded.

"Okay, the Nan family can afford this. The Nan family has been active in the business world for many years and has a deep foundation. Money is just a number to them."

"If all else fails, don't I still have you? I'm developing that villa project in a prime location in the city center. Giving you one would be like throwing a dazzling pearl to someone who doesn't know how to cherish it. I'm afraid you won't be able to catch it. By then, this villa won't be a blessing to you, but a death curse. Can you bear the consequences?"

Chen Lulu....
