Chapter 595: Father and Daughter Breaking Off Their Relationship, Third Master Takes Action (1)
Old Fu residence...
When Song Fengwan returned from walking the dog, the TV in the living room of the Fu residence was playing financial news. The media was reporting the situation of the He Group live.
"... According to the footage taken by our reporters in front, President He, who was rumored to have fallen sick after losing his beloved son, suddenly appeared at the company's entrance.
"More than ten minutes ago, the young madam of the Fu family also entered the company. It is reported that she has shares of the company. She'll likely be making a big move this time.
"President He entered the company quickly, and he doesn't look like a patient. We're contacting the hospital to confirm his condition and to try to find out more about whether he's really sick or if he's taking the opportunity to pretend to be sick to clean up the company of those with ulterior motives.
...
At this moment, Fu Chen had finished copying the scriptures and was playing chess with Old Master Fu in the living room.
Old Master Fu glanced at the TV. "He deliberately pretended to be sick to take the opportunity to clean up the internal strife. Does He Maozhen have such a brain?"
"Maybe he became enlightened after losing his beloved son." Fu Chen observed the chessboard, seemingly looking for the best position to place the chess piece.
"I fought with his father for most of my life. Everyone says that the person who knows you best isn't your friend but your enemy. I know very well what kind of person He Maozhen is."
Old Master Fu tilted his head and looked at the TV. "If he had a brain, he wouldn't have done something as stupid as abandoning his child.
"He's been looking forward to having a son all his life, but he lost his beloved son. It's reasonable for him to lose his rationality from anger. But it's really impossible for him to be suddenly stimulated and become so smart...
"It's very likely that someone is using him to attack He Shiqing.
"Let He Maozhen see his daughter's true colors and put on a show of dogs biting each other. That person didn't make a move himself, but He Shiqing's face was already swollen. It's beneficial without any harm. In the end, He Maozhen will even thank that person. Don't you think so, Third Son?!"
Old Master Fu looked at the person opposite him.
Fu Chen's expression was normal as he lowered his head and placed a chess piece. "Dad, it's your turn."
After Song Fengwan entered the house, she helped Uncle Zhong clean it.
She originally wanted to enter the kitchen, but Old Madam Fu chased her out, making her feel extremely uncomfortable. Am I going to be blocked from the kitchen all my life?
Yu Manxi was pregnant, and there was a cat and a dog at home. They were worried that she would be allergic, so Fu Xinhan and Niannian were locked in the backyard, and the house had to be cleaned thoroughly.
"Some people are so sinister. What if they scare their wives?" Old Master Fu lowered his voice. His eldest daughter-in-law didn't know about this.
He had originally wanted to understand everything thoroughly and help plan, but Fu Chen had rejected him.
As everyone knew, a certain someone had already made plans in his mind.
He tilted his head and looked at Song Fengwan, who was wiping the table. This girl isn't easy to deal with either. It's a good thing Yuxiu isn't with her.
Back then, when the engagement was broken off, Wanwan didn't pursue the matter. But if she really played tricks on him, that stupid brat wouldn't be able to withstand it!
Fu Chen sneered without looking at him. "You're sinister. Didn't you still woo my mother back then?"
Old Master Fu choked. Only this brat would dare to speak to me like this. If it were his two older brothers, I would have hit them directly. He's really spoiled.
***
At this moment, He Maozhen had appeared out of nowhere in the He Group. He Shiqing was dumbfounded, and so were some of the directors and shareholders who had contact with her in private.
Everyone now knew that the claim of being hospitalized was just a cover.
He had dug a hole for everyone to jump in.
They were screwed over miserably by He Shiqing.
He Maozhen probably wanted to take the opportunity to see how many people in the company wanted to see him step down. This move was too treacherous.
"Dad, shouldn't you be in the hospital? Why are you out?" After a huge shock, He Shiqing quickly calmed down and braced herself to walk over.
She had seen He Maozhen pass out and be hospitalized with her own eyes. The doctor had even said that he had been overly agitated and that his brain couldn't take the stimulation, so he had almost had a stroke. Before she came to the company, he had been lying on the hospital bed and had never opened his eyes.
Could he have suspected me before this?
She knew very well what kind of person her father was. Her mother had a miscarriage, so how could he still have the mood to care about these things? There was definitely someone guiding him behind the scenes.
After thinking about it, only one person came to mind!
Fu Chen!
Why is this person going against me in every way? Yu Manxi's matter has already been resolved, but he's still refusing to let me go. He's really working hard for Song Fengwan!
The more He Shiqing thought about it, the angrier she became. But she had been too anxious, so she had given herself away, giving Fu Chen an opportunity to take advantage of it. He was truly a ruthless person. "The doctor said that you were overly agitated and needed to rest."

"Why were you discharged, Dad..."
Seeing him ignore her, He Shiqing was even more shocked.
He Maozhen's gaze slowly swept past all the directors present...
Some people were pleasantly surprised by his return. The company hadn't changed, so at least their shares wouldn't suffer a loss. The people who had secretly interacted with He Shiqing naturally felt guilty and didn't dare to look at him.
What an unexpected calamity. If they had known earlier, they wouldn't have communicated with He Shiqing. Now, they were basically being attacked from both sides. It was extremely embarrassing.
Everyone present had a deep friendship with He Maozhen. It was unreasonable for them to stab their good friend in the back and ally with his daughter!
"Dad, you should have informed me if you were feeling better. Why did you come here directly? If I had known you were coming, I would have picked you up. I was very worried about you.
"All the elders in the family suddenly fell ill, and I really didn't know what to do. Big Sister even came to fight for the company.
"I was really scared to death. Thankfully, you came back."
He Shiqing choked with emotion, as if she was really frightened and aggrieved.
Yu Manxi was speechless. At this time, you're still slandering me. I'll just watch quietly and see how you continue this show!
"President He, these are the documents." His secretary immediately brought over a blue folder. He held it in his hand and rubbed it carefully.
He Shiqing stared at the folder, her breathing uneven. Her heart felt as if it was being squeezed tightly, and it was difficult for her to breathe.
"Shiqing, you're so worried about us elders. When you heard that something had happened to the company, you immediately rushed over. You're really considerate." He Maozhen's voice was calm, his emotions unreadable.
"This is what I should do."
"After coming out of the hospital, you even went home to change clothes. You even had the mood to put on makeup and dress up. You're really considerate." He Maozhen turned his head, and the father's and daughter's eyes met.
After all, He Maozhen was an experienced businessman. When he looked over, her heart trembled.
"Dad..."
"The young madam of the Fu family is pregnant. Are you blind? Get her a chair!" He Maozhen suddenly raised his voice. His secretary was shocked and hurriedly brought over a spare chair from the side to invite Yu Manxi to sit down.
He Shiqing was really flustered at this moment.
He Maozhen was obviously on Yu Manxi's side. They couldn't bear to see each other in the past. When did they start to unite against others?
"Are you surprised?" He Maozhen took a deep breath and looked at He Shiqing seriously. "Shiqing, I'll ask you once in front of everyone in the company today.
"You contacted the shareholders in private and said that I wanted to hand the company to your unborn brother, that I was disregarding the company's interests. You wanted to unite with the shareholders to try and kick me out of this position.
"Did you do it?"
He Shiqing really didn't know what her father had in his hands. Yu Manxi was sitting at the side and looking up to say something to Fu Sinian. Her expression was arrogant and carried the smugness of a victor.
She didn't want to be stepped on in front of her, so she could only grit her teeth...
"I didn't!"
He Maozhen nodded. Very good.
"I'll give you one last chance. Did you do it?"
"I didn't!" He Shiqing gritted her teeth. She didn't believe that Fu Sinian really had the ability to get the so-called evidence. Moreover, who present would dare to admit that they were disloyal to He Maozhen?
Would anyone dare to stand up and confront her?
No!
"He Shiqing... You really..." He Maozhen tightened his fingers, raised his hand, and smacked the blue folder on her head hard!
This cold and hard thing hurt a lot. The meeting room fell silent.
He Shiqing's pupils trembled. Before she could react, he gripped the folder and hit her hard again.
This time, her hair was messed up, and blood-red marks spread from her forehead to her chin. Half of her face was red.
"You're still being stubborn even at the brink of death! Do you really need me to throw the evidence in front of you?
"If you had admitted it, I might still think that you could be saved and let you off this time. But even at the brink of death, you still refused to admit your mistake!
"You got someone to tail your biological sister and secretly take photos of her. You stirred up public opinion and added fuel to the fire. You even wanted to take the opportunity to stir up the entire company. Your appetite is too big!
"Evidence, right? I'll give it all to you. See carefully what you told them and promised them!
"Snatching from your biological father... I really raised a good daughter!"
He Maozhen raised his hand and hit her face with the folder again.
"Ah!" The edge of the folder brushed past the corner of her eye and hit her head. It was so painful that she almost went blind. She cried out in shock, and her eyes darkened, almost losing sight.
Chapter 597: Father and Daughter Breaking Off Their Relationship, Third Master Takes Action (3)
He Shiqing bit her lip tightly, her eyes crazy and malicious. Especially when she saw Yu Manxi from the corner of her eye, she wished she could skin her alive.
"Do you really treat me as your daughter?! Do you really care about my feelings? You just can't wait for me to get married so that you can make room for your son!
"When Yu Manxi came back previously, didn't you also take a fancy to the Fu family behind her? Do you really want to acknowledge her? No!
"In your heart, other than your son and interests, what else do you have? You're not worthy of being a father!"
"Bastard!" He Maozhen was furious and slapped her. "Try saying another word! I raised you, yet you say that I'm not worthy of being a father. I gave you all your food, clothes, and expenses!
"You gave me money, so you're worthy of being a father? How much have I sacrificed for the company and the He family all these years? You actually want to hand the company over to an unborn child?
"That's fine. But you even want me to pave the way for him?
"Stop dreaming. Even if I die, I won't give the fruits of my labor to someone else! I can't wait for that child to die!"
"You wretched girl, I'll beat you to death!" He Maozhen was already agitated by his wife's miscarriage.
If Fu Chen hadn't contacted him in private and said that He Shiqing wanted to usurp the throne, he probably wouldn't have been able to last until now. Now that she was bringing this up, she was rubbing salt into his wound.
He rushed over to tear He Shiqing apart.
Meanwhile, she stood still and let the slaps land on her face and body...
Someone reached out to stop He Maozhen.
"President He, calm down. No matter what, she's your daughter."
He Maozhen held back his anger. His son was gone, and his daughter had stabbed him in the back. How could he endure this? Even though someone stopped him, he still wanted to beat this heartless girl to death.
Looking at this chaotic scene, Fu Sinian frowned slightly and went forward, blocking Yu Manxi's vision and isolating her from this dirty scene.
"You..." Yu Manxi frowned. Although He Shiqing was vicious, He Maozhen wasn't a good person either. It wasn't easy for her to see such an exciting dogfight. Why did he...
"It's affecting prenatal education!" Fu Sinian said matter-of-factly.
"Okay." Yu Manxi sighed.
...
Just as the scene was chaotic, He Maozhen suddenly raised his leg and kicked He Shiqing to the floor. Her head hit the corner of a chair, and the pain made her head dizzy.
"He Maozhen!"
At this moment, a slightly weak elderly voice sounded.
Everyone turned around and saw Old Madam He, who was wearing a hospital gown and only had a coat wrapped around her, appear at the door of the meeting room.
The matter spread like wildfire, and even in the hospital, she knew about it.
"Mom, why are you here?!" He Xi's matter had agitated her greatly. Zou Li had miscarried, and she had fainted from anger. Her body was already very weak, but she had even appeared with her sickly body.
"If I didn't come, what would you have done? You can only rely on her for the rest of your life. Could it be that you still want Yu Manxi to take care of you in your old age?
"Shiqing is your only child now. If a child does something wrong, just educate them properly!
"Do you really want to beat her to death?"
He Maozhen took a deep breath. "Mom, she wants to seize power and kick me away. She's simply ambitious!"
"This company will be hers sooner or later. It's all because you made the child feel too insecure!"
Yu Manxi shook her head helplessly. Old Madam He was really a scheming and vicious person. She came to give He Shiqing a sweet date now because she wanted to calm her down.
But it was probably too late.
This greedy wolf had exposed her true colors. If they didn't kill her with a club, she would only bite the He family to death.
"Shiqing, don't be afraid. Grandma is here to support you!" Old Madam He tried to comfort He Shiqing.
He Shiqing suddenly smiled. "Only I can take care of you in your old age, hah..."
So what if they knew that she was ambitious? Didn't they still have to forgive her and coax her nicely?
Otherwise, their He family would really have no descendants. It was ridiculous and comical.
"Let's go first." Fu Sinian pulled Yu Manxi up.
Seeing that the two of them were about to leave, He Maozhen opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't say anything in the end.
The uproar over the He Group's power seizure seemed to have subsided, and no one knew what exactly had happened.
***
When Fu Sinian and Yu Manxi returned to the old residence, they were just in time for lunch. No one in the Fu family asked what had happened in the He Group, and they ate quietly.
After eating, everyone gathered together to discuss the wedding.
Fu Chen's phone vibrated twice. He looked at Yu Manxi. "Zou Li is awake."
Yu Manxi was stunned for a moment before nodding calmly.
Everyone's gaze landed on Song Fengwan. Zou Li woke up, so it meant that another storm was approaching...
"Let's go. I'll accompany you to the hospital." Fu Chen got up.
"Is it useful for you to go? She lost her child, so she must be going crazy now. Should I go with you? We're both women, so I can comfort her appropriately." Dai Yunqing got up and was about to follow them out.
"No need. I can handle it," Fu Chen declined politely.
Song Fengwan got up unhurriedly. When she went out, she even took an orange, looking very relaxed.
Dai Yunqing sighed. "Third Brother has a sharp tongue. If he follows her, he'll probably agitate the He family even more.
"If the matter isn't handled well, they might be beaten out of the ward!
"But he's really concerned about Wanwan. He's even sending her there personally. Is he afraid that girl will suffer if I accompany her?"
The remaining Fu family members looked at each other. Old Master Fu was holding his tobacco pipe. When Second Son's family returns in a few days, we probably won't be able to hide this matter anymore. I hope they won't be frightened then...
Before Fu Chen set off, he specially sent Jing Hanchuan a message.
Jing Hanchuan was currently fishing in the backyard of his house. Ever since his parents returned, he couldn't stay in this house anymore. It was dog abuse! He felt that they were too much of an eyesore, and he also felt that the two of them were very eye-catching, so he might as well not see them.
When he received the message, his eyes lit up, and he put down his fishing pole. "Prepare the car. Bring the person we caught yesterday to the hospital."
Fu Chen's finally taking action.
