Mr. Bigshot Is Obsessed with His Hidden-Marriage Wife
Chapter 148: You Die or I Die

Chapter 148: Chapter 148: You Die or I Die

"Did you have someone surveil him?"

"Why would I?" Fu Xingzhou’s voice was soothingly reassuring, "The people I’ve arranged not only make sure he doesn’t feel watched, but they also protect him from the shadows. Look at his dietary regimen these past few days, it has become lighter, which is immensely beneficial for his recovery."

"You knew his health needed to recover?" Ye Yan scoffed coldly, "If you knew this day would come, why did you do it in the first place?"

With that, she ignored Fu Xingzhou’s sorrowful expression, slammed the door, and left.

In the following days, Ye Yan was looking for ways to leave the resort.

But whenever she went out, bodyguards inevitably followed, and all the staff in the complex had turned into human surveillance.

She also tried reasoning with Fu Xingzhou, but he wouldn’t listen to a single word.

Angered, she refused to open the door for him for three consecutive days.

That day, the lobby downstairs was unusually bustling, and Ye Yan, who was reading in her room, could hear the incessant noise.

The sudden influx of so many people in the resort surprised her.

But no matter who it was, it was better than the previous desolation, and with more people, there were more opportunities. Perhaps this was her chance to leave the resort.

The lobby was lively with dozens of men and women.

Ye Yan’s arrival silenced the noisy hall instantly, dozens of eyes turning toward her with expressions of surprise, confusion, inquiry, and even mockery.

Fu Xingzhou was sitting among these people, holding a half-filled glass of red wine.

He usually was careful with his alcohol consumption and rarely drank excessively.

It was the same at that moment; his eyes lucid and mind clear, he put down his wine glass and walked over to Ye Yan the instant he saw her.

"You’ve come just in time, let me introduce you to some people."

Ye Yan didn’t speak, simply letting him lead her by the hand into the group.

Most were strangers to her, except for Li Xiuze, whom she had met and spoken with in Hong Kong. He was a doctor by profession but came from a significant lineage.

"My wife," Fu Xingzhou introduced her fluently in Cantonese to everyone.

These were his friends from the Hong Kong business circles, most of whom had heard a thing or two about him.

Hong Kong businessman Fu Xingzhou had married young, retiring from the life of a charming bachelor.

Many were meeting his deeply hidden wife for the first time, expecting someone from a distinguished family, only to find her to be a woman of ordinary status.

Yet her striking beauty and aloof demeanor made it no surprise that she could capture Fu Xingzhou’s heart.

"Did the noise disturb you?" Fu Xingzhou pulled Ye Yan to sit down on a couch and poured her favorite grape juice.

He smelled strongly of alcohol, causing Ye Yan to shift slightly away.

"I didn’t drink much," Fu Xingzhou said as he handed his coat to the butler, "I’ll go take a shower in a bit."

Ye Yan sipped her grape juice quietly, not uttering a word.

"Some of these people are shareholders of the resort," Fu Xingzhou said as he handed her a tissue, "It’s been a long time since we all gathered, so we thought we’d have some lively time here."

Since Fu Xingzhou moved here with her, he had also relocated his office.

He avoided showing up at the corporation, let alone social gatherings.

Many of these people had not seen him in a long time.

"Mr. Fu is hiding a beauty in his golden house," a middle-aged man came over with a glass in hand, "With Mrs. Fu’s good looks, no wonder Mr. Fu wants to keep her hidden."

Fu Xingzhou held Ye Yan’s hand in his palm, smiling, "She just doesn’t like this kind of bustle."

"Did we disturb Mrs. Fu?" the middle-aged man hastily apologized, "My apologies."

Several more people came up to Fu Xingzhou, and the conversation inevitably revolved around her.

Ye Yan felt annoyed and found an excuse to return to her room to rest.

"Dr. Ye."

Coincidentally, the person she ran into was Li Xiuze, and standing beside him was a stunning young woman, whose looks were strikingly beautiful and bore some resemblance to Li Xiuze.

Although they were together, they did not seem like a couple.

"Mr. Li," Ye Yan nodded.

Li Xiuze glanced at Fu Xingzhou not far away and whispered, "I’ve heard about your brother."

Mentioning Ye Zhun made Ye Yan’s heart become a bit more cautious.

Li Xiuze and Fu Xingzhou were good friends, and although they appeared very humble and cultured on the surface,

but as the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and she remained wary of Li Xiuze.

"I know I’m in no position to persuade you to forgive Xingzhou, since I’m not the one these things happened to. I just want to remind you that once Xingzhou sets his sights on something, he will secure it tightly in his grasp, and if he loses it, he will stop at nothing to take it back, even if it means mutual destruction," Li Xiuze had this foreboding when he first met them, which had now come true.

He saw Fu Xingzhou today, and he wasn’t looking right.

He was tormented by uncertainty, finding himself at a dead end.

If Ye Yan continued to oppose him and refused to compromise at this time, it would likely make him even more authoritarian and irrational.

He just wanted to warn Ye Yan.

He also wanted to help Fu Xingzhou extricate himself from this vortex as soon as possible, to avoid getting deeper and suffering the consequences.

"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Li," Although Ye Yan understood that Li Xiuze meant well, he ultimately stood on the same side as Fu Xingzhou.

If she compromised, what would all of Fu Xingzhou’s previous actions mean? What would Ye Zhun’s brush with death mean?

Once can become twice.

She wasn’t a tool to be hurt and betrayed at will, she was also a living, breathing person.

Li Xiuze could tell from Ye Yan’s expression that his words had no effect.

He had seen correctly before; although Ye Yan seemed outwardly delicate like a frail flower, she was incredibly stubborn at heart.

When strong forces clash, it inevitably leads to a fight to the death.

He sighed, not saying more, "Dr. Ye, you should rest early."

Ye Yan nodded her thanks and then walked away.

Just as she left the hall, someone followed her from behind.

She stopped in her tracks as if waiting for that person.

"So you are Ye Yan," Li Wanru stood under the corridor light, her lips curling into an ambiguous smile, "You really are beautiful."

"Who are you to Mr. Li?"

Ye Yan had noticed earlier that this woman had been staring at her, and the look in her eyes was definitely not friendly.

More like she saw her as a rival, an enemy.

"Li Xiuze is my cousin," said Li Wanru, "my name is Li Wanru."

"You like Fu Xingzhou?"

Li Wanru hadn’t expected Ye Yan to be so direct, which caught her off guard.

She had planned to probe with subtlety, not expecting to be seen through so easily.

"Yes, I do like Fu Xingzhou," Li Wanru’s face flushed slightly, "Our families have been close friends and business partners for generations, and I have been in touch with Fu family’s second brother since I was little."

Mr. Li had told her when she was very young that she would marry Fu Xingzhou.

Back then, both the Li family and Fu family were leading families in Hong Kong, with a very close relationship.

Among the Li siblings, all were boys except for her, the only daughter.

From a young age, she had been groomed to marry Fu Xingzhou.
