Fu Siye’s powerful and cold aura was so oppressive that it made it difficult for anyone to even breathe. The entire place fell silent in an instant.

His warning was like a knife hanging over his heart. No one dared to touch his bottom line.

​ 

Ye Zhi gritted her teeth. She thought to herself, “That b*tch Mu Hui had actually used some unknown method to compel Fu Siye to protect her!”

Ye Zhi felt that Mu Hui was extremely shrewd, so she stood at the door and tried to persuade Fu Siye loudly. She said, “Brother Siye, don’t protect Mu Hui anymore! Even if grandfather doesn’t agree for you two to be together, you can’t just watch Mu Hui destroy grandfather’s life! Brother Siye, don’t tell me that grandfather isn’t as important as the woman in your heart?”

Ye Zhi’s words were like a bombshell, instantly causing the entire media to burst into an uproar.

Such insider information that was usually difficult for them to obtain was actually laid bare right in front of them!

All the media immediately adjusted their cameras, one after another, and their eyes were filled with excitement.

They absolutely could not miss this piece of important news!

After realizing that her words had pushed Mu Hui and Fu Siye to the forefront, Ye Zhi revealed an arc of success and quickly continued to speak.

“Brother Siye, don’t be mesmerized by Mu Hui’s beauty! Tell her to stop!”

Her eyes were filled with tears as if she was extremely worried about Old Master Fu’s safety.

“Even if you’re unwilling to marry me according to grandfather’s instructions, you can’t disregard grandfather’s life for her…”

The surrounding media could not bear to watch Ye Zhi’s pitiful appearance.

“The filial piety of a biological grandson is actually not as good as a granddaughter. I didn’t expect CEO Fu to be such a cold-hearted person.”

“He can be ruthless to his own family members. This kind of person is too scary!”

“The CEO of the Fu Corporation is actually mesmerized by beauty. The future of the Fu Corporation is indeed worrying!”

The voices of condemnation at the scene grew louder and louder.

Mu Hui retracted her hand and sneered at Ye Zhi, who was putting on an act.

“You’re chattering at the most critical moment of the treatment and disturbing the doctor. You seem to be very anxious for something to happen to Old Master Fu?”

Ye Zhi looked flustered as she gritted her teeth and retorted, “Don’t slander me. I’m just worried…”

“Worried about what? Worried that I can save Old Master Fu from danger?” asked Mu Hui.

After making sure that Old Master Fu was in a stable condition, Mu Hui finally let down the weight in her heart. She instantly pointed the spearhead at Ye Zhi and said, “Old Master Fu is Siye’s grandfather. He’s not worried, so why should you worry? You’re an outsider, yet you talk so much. Doesn’t that just make you look like you have a big mouth?”

She was like a small firecracker, choking Ye Zhi until she could no longer speak.

Fu Siye felt that his grandfather’s breathing was stable and finally relaxed. He curled his lips in secret. He felt that Mu Hui’s arrogant appearance was particularly pleasing to the eye.

Ye Zhi gritted her teeth and yelled, “Mu Hui, stop pretending! You don’t have any medical skills at all. Even the family doctor couldn’t do anything. How could you possibly save grandfather?”

Mu Hui raised her eyebrows. She was full of aggression.

“Do you dare to make a bet?”

She curled her lips into a cold smile and stretched out her two slender fingers.

“Twenty minutes. If grandfather doesn’t wake up, I’ll surrender myself to the police.”

Before Ye Zhi’s eyes could show joy, Mu Hui continued to speak, “But if Old Master Fu wakes up, I want you to kneel down and apologize to me in front of everyone!”

She looked at Ye Zhi provocatively. Ye Zhi was in high spirits and full of pressure.

Mu Hui asked, “Do you dare to make a bet?”

“It’s impossible.”

The family doctor beside her shook his head heavily. He felt that Mu Hui was too arrogant. He said, “Old Master Fu’s condition is too serious. He won’t wake up until at least the next day.”

When Ye Zhi heard this, a hint of excitement flashed across her eyes, but she pretended to be troubled.

“Mu Hui, I’m not gambling with you out of anger. But someone needs to pay for grandfather’s safety. If anything happens, you have to give grandfather an explanation!”

Mu Hui could not be bothered with her sanctimonious words. She crossed her legs and waited for Old Master Fu to wake up.

Time passed by a minute after minute, but Old Master Fu was still unconscious.

Ye Zhi’s eyes were fixed on the clock. After 20 minutes, her eyes were filled with ecstasy as she said, “20 minutes have passed but grandfather did not wake up at all!”

She rushed in impatiently, afraid that Mu Hui would take the opportunity to escape.

“Quick, arrest her! She’s deliberately killing people!”

Ye Zhi still wanted to move Old Master Fu over. She said, “I want to send grandfather to the hospital to have his injuries examined. Mu Hui, you’re dead meat! Based on grandfather’s injuries, you won’t be able to come out of jail for the rest of your life!”

“Don’t you touch him!”

When she saw that Ye Zhi was actually going to touch Old Master Fu, Mu Hui’s expression suddenly changed. She pushed Ye Zhi away forcefully.

“Mu Hui, what are you doing? Are you feeling guilty… Ah!”

A heavy slap landed on Ye Zhi’s face!

Mu Hui’s face was ice-cold. She glared at Ye Zhi as if she wanted to kill her.

“Idiot!”
