Chapter 177: Chapter 177 Hypocrisy

Fu Yanhe looked at the unconscious Fu Shuqin with a cold expression.

Only when her face gradually turned blue and her lips blackened did he leisurely step forward and press the call button.

Within seconds, the doctor rushed in with nurses.

As the doctor examined Fu Shuqin’s condition, his expression changed, "The patient is in acute shock, begin resuscitation immediately; all irrelevant people, please leave the room."

The room instantly descended into chaos as Fu Yanhe quietly stepped out.

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

In the quiet corridor, Jiang Yun and Shen Yanhe stood facing each other.

Jiang Yun, looking exhausted, sighed and said, "Yanyan, you should know about Yanhe resigning from the position of CEO of the Fu Group, right?"

Shen Yanhe nodded, "I just found out."

Jiang Yun raised her hand to massage her temples, looked at Shen Yanhe, and lowered her stance.

"Logically, Mom shouldn’t have come to you about this, it should have been Yanhe, but you know, Yanhe has a bad temper and is stubborn; he wouldn’t listen to me."

"So Mom had no choice but to come to you, help Mom, and persuade Yanhe not to be so wilful."

Jiang Yun knew that the Fu Group was prospering so well solely because of Fu Yanhe’s presence.

If Fu Yanhe left, Fu Xiao and Fu Yu, these two, could not bear any major responsibilities.

Fu Yanhe’s father, Fu Weizhi, was currently abroad; she had tried contacting him on the way here, but nobody answered.

He simply couldn’t manage to come back in charge anytime soon.

The only solution now was to have Shen Yanhe persuade Fu Yanhe to return.

This was precisely why she had specially sought out Shen Yanhe for a conversation.

Shen Yanhe already harbored no good feelings towards Jiang Yun, hearing her call Fu Yanhe wilful now only added to her dislike.

Her brows lightly furrowed as she interrupted Jiang Yun, "Mom, I think Yanhe wasn’t being wilful, he must have thought deeply before making this decision."

Her voice was flat, "Besides, the old lady had also mentioned before that she would dismiss his CEO position, I think Yanhe just resigned beforehand."

Shen Yanhe sneered inwardly.

The old lady’s insistence on Yanhe divorcing her, she didn’t believe that Jiang Yun hadn’t heard a whiff of it.

But back then, did Jiang Yun step forward to speak for her or for Yanhe?

No.

But now that Fu Yanhe had resigned from the CEO position of the Fu Group, impacting her interests, she became anxious.

Looking at the slightly tense expression on Jiang Yun’s face, Shen Yanhe’s eyes flickered slightly, her gaze lowered, a touch of bitterness timely appeared on her soft, pale face.

"Mom, you don’t know, the old lady not only threatened to dismiss Yanhe from the CEO position but also insisted on my divorcing Yanhe and marrying Xia Ran to him."

Jiang Yun’s brows knitted tightly, cursing the old lady in her heart repeatedly, glaring at her frustratedly, "You shouldn’t heed her nonsense!"

"The old lady is not in charge of the group, her words don’t matter!"

"Moreover, the marriage between the Shen Family and Yanhe was arranged by his father; unless his father agrees to a divorce, the old lady’s words are futile."

Shen Yanhe’s eyes flickered lightly, realizing a few things.

The marriage between the Shen Family and Fu Yanhe was arranged by Fu Yanhe’s father?

No wonder the old lady was making such a fuss, yet Jiang Yun hadn’t said anything.

It turned out she knew that no matter how much the old lady carried on, her marriage to Fu Yanhe couldn’t be dissolved.

But why?

Why would Fu Yanhe’s father choose to ally with the Shen Family, a family that could not bring any help to the Fu Family?

Before Shen Yanhe could figure it out, Jiang Yun stepped forward and took her hand, her face full of affection, "My dear child, Mom knows that you and Yanhe have been wronged recently."

"Mom will definitely have a good talk with the old lady this time, and tell her not to interfere in your affairs anymore."

"For Yanhe, for you, and for the good of the Fu Family, please help Mom this once and do convince Yanhe to come back to Fus, alright?"

Shen Yanhe quietly watched Jiang Yun, slowly withdrew her hand from hers, and shook her head, saying, "I’m sorry, Mom, I respect Yanhe’s decision."

Jiang Yun’s face instantly fell.

She had pleaded so much, humbled herself so low, yet she hadn’t expected Shen Yanhe to be so resistant.

"You respect Yanhe’s decision, but can’t you consider his well-being? He resigned from the president’s position for you and ended up with nothing, affecting his future prospects."

Jiang Yun looked at Shen Yanhe with a bit of blame in her eyes. "And because of you, he angered the old lady so much that she ended up in the hospital, almost beyond rescue!"

"Do you really want Yanhe to be left all alone before you’re happy?"

"How can you be so selfish!"

Shen Yanhe laughed out of exasperation.

Respecting Fu Yanhe’s decision was selfish?

Was she supposed to urge him to endure, not to fight back against those people despite him having already made a determined decision?

Was that really considering his well-being?

She had never heard such an outrageous argument!

"Wasn’t the old lady hospitalised due to her own actions?" Shen Yanhe scoffed coldly. "Ms. Jiang, you’re not selfish, so why didn’t I see you defend Yanhe when the old lady intervened in his marriage?"

"You thought Yanhe wouldn’t get hurt, would tolerate the hardship imposed by the old lady, so you were happy to stand by and watch."

"Now that Yanhe has fought back, resigning from the presidency, affecting your interests, now you start panicking and come to me playing the sympathy card."

Shen Yanhe chuckled once more. "Ms. Jiang, don’t you think this is rather hypocritical?"

Anger surged in Jiang Yun’s heart, and she pointed at Shen Yanhe, left speechless for a long duration.

Just at this moment.

Fu Yu hurried over, her pale face slightly panicked. "Mom, it’s bad! Grandma had another episode! The doctors are resuscitating her!"

"The doctor says it’s not looking good! She might not make it!"

Jiang Yun’s ears buzzed.

She urgently asked Fu Yu, "What happened? What’s going on? Wasn’t the old lady fine just now?"

Fu Yu, scolded until her face was aggrieved and her eyes reddened, said, "How would I know what happened? The doctor said it was caused by severe emotional fluctuations leading to cerebral hemorrhage and heart failure!"

Cerebral hemorrhage and heart failure?

Jiang Yun felt weak at the knees and nearly couldn’t stand.

Ignoring Shen Yanhe, she walked with difficulty towards Fu Yu, firmly grabbing her hand, and asked, "Where is your brother? What did he say to the old lady?"

Fu Yu shook her head. "He’s in the corridor. I don’t know what he said."

Jiang Yun angrily released Fu Yu’s hand and hurried toward the emergency room, while taking out her phone from her purse, dialing Fu Weizhi’s number.

Shen Yanhe frowned slightly and followed in step.

Fu Yu spread her arms to block her, glaring at her resentfully and whispered fiercely, "You and Fu Yanhe are jinxes! If anything happens to Grandma, you will be the murderers!"

Shen Yanhe looked at her with a chilly gaze, and with slightly parted red lips, uttered two words: "Move aside."

Fu Yu didn’t move but continued to block Shen Yanhe.

Shen Yanhe frowned slightly, impatiently reached out to grasp Fu Yu’s shoulders, and pushed her to the side.

Caught off guard, Fu Yu stumbled and hit the wall, crying out in pain.

Shen Yanhe used this opportunity to pass her and swiftly walked to the ward. Fu Yu could only stamp her feet in frustration behind her.
