Mr. Bigshot Is Obsessed with His Hidden-Marriage Wife
Chapter 97:

Chapter 97: Chapter 97:

"Miss Qin really lives up to her reputation as an actress. Her acting is good, and her methods are clever." Meng Tian coldly looked at Qin Shuyi, who was still sprawled on the ground.

Qin Shuyi had taken a nasty fall and was a bit dazed, but upon hearing Meng Tian’s words, she innocently blinked her eyes and tried to defend herself, "Miss Meng, what are you talking about? I don’t understand."

"It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. I think everyone else around should."

If Tang Jingyao hadn’t pulled her aside, she wouldn’t have been prepared for Qin Shuyi falling backwards towards her, and that grabbing motion was clearly intended to pull off her bathrobe as she fell.

Since it was a hot spring, everyone was only wearing tube top bathrobes, with nothing underneath, so such a bathrobe could be easily pulled off with a slight tug from behind.

Being exposed in front of all these men was Qin Shuyi’s true intention.

So her timing of falling down was neither too early nor too late, just when everyone had just come in.

"Go and check, why there was a snake in the bathroom," Fu Xingzhou instructed a nearby butler.

The hot spring experience was spoiled, and everyone had no interest but to return to their rooms.

Just as Meng Tian swiped open her room door, she heard Tang Jingyao’s voice behind her, "Aren’t you going to thank me?"

"If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t even be here, let alone encounter such annoying matters, so what should I thank you for?"

Meng Tian leaned against the door and looked at him coldly.

"That really is cold-hearted." Tang Jingyao glanced at her room door, "After returning to the Peninsula, we are going to get engaged, won’t you invite your fiancé in?"

Hearing the word "fiancé", Meng Tian felt extremely uncomfortable and her gaze towards Tang Jingyao grew even colder, "Mr. Tang, I’m curious if Miss Jiang knows you’re getting married behind her back, whether she would break out of jail in a fit of anger?"

"Meng Tian." Tang Jingyao stepped forward, his large hand gripping her chin, his voice harsh, "You don’t deserve to mention her."

"Upholding the law impartially, my conscience is clear!"

Facing the girl’s stubborn gaze, Tang Jingyao narrowed his eyes slightly, "One day, I’ll make you kneel in front of her and apologize."

"I’m a police officer. I won’t apologize to a criminal; keep that dream to yourself."

"Alright, we shall see."

Tang Jingyao let go and strode away.

Meng Tian took out her phone and checked her chin, there were two obvious red marks.

In that moment, he really wanted to crush her.

But it didn’t matter; she knew how to trigger his anger. As long as she kept him at a distance, she didn’t care.

The next day, everyone went to the lake to fish and taste the river delicacies, but Qin Shuyi was not among them.

Time passed quickly, and Ye Yan’s vacation ended.

She returned to work at the hospital, and Fu Xingzhou went to Hong Kong.

Having been busy accompanying her these days, he had accumulated a lot of work. After finishing business at the club that day, it was already evening.

Since his visit to Hong Kong was not kept secret, he wasn’t too surprised when his bodyguard mentioned a name.

"Where is the person?"

"Across the street."

Fu Xingzhou looked through the floor-to-ceiling window, and sure enough, saw a familiar face that seemed anxious and afraid, pacing back and forth, occasionally glancing into the club.

But this kind of place, with his status, as soon as he approached, he would be thrown out.

"Bring him in."

After the bodyguard left, he soon led a person up, cowering, and looked at Fu Xingzhou with apprehensive eyes, "Mr. Fu, hello."

Fu Xingzhou sat on the sofa, the leather seat seemingly blending him into a mass of darkness, his aura somber, chilling to the bone.

"Sit."

Ye Jian’an didn’t dare to sit until the bodyguard motioned, then he sat down on the sofa opposite Fu Xingzhou.

Fu Xingzhou didn’t speak, silently smoking.

The atmosphere sank for several minutes, Ye Jian’an finally couldn’t help but speak, "Mr. Fu, Ah Yan, how has she been doing lately?"

"That’s your daughter, you’re asking me?" Fu Xingzhou tapped his ash.

"Actually, I saw you going to the hospital to pick her up last time. You, a man of such prestige, lowered yourself personally, she is just ignorant. How could such a minor matter bother you?"

"What do you want to say?" Fu Xingzhou glanced at his watch, not wanting to beat around the bush with Ye Jian’an here.

Ye Jian’an chuckled nervously, his hands involuntarily rubbing each other, his eyes slightly downcast, revealing a trace of cunning.

Fu Xingzhou then realized Ah Yan’s eyes looked a lot like Ye Jian’an’s, except her eyes were clear, beautifully enticing, unlike these petty calculations.

"Mr. Fu, Ah Yan hates my gambling, so to repair our father-daughter relationship, I swear I will never touch gambling for the rest of my life. Recently, I encountered a gambler who turned out to be Mr. Fu’s man. I did some checking, and it turns out it was under Mr. Fu’s orders that he led me to the casino, eventually causing me to accrue a debt of five million."

The bodyguard, upon hearing this, immediately looked at Fu Xingzhou’s reaction.

Had Ye Jian’an lost his mind, daring to blurt out anything? Was he sure he could endure Mr. Fu’s thunderous wrath?

"So, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Seeing that Fu Xingzhou seemed unfazed, still slowly smoking, Ye Jian’an gained some courage, "Mr. Fu, I want to start a seafood shop. I used to be in this business, I know the ropes. I promised Ah Yan I wouldn’t gamble again, but I can’t always ask her for money, it’s not easy for Ah Yan."

"How much do you need?"

Ye Jian’an thought for a moment, his hand trembling as he held out five fingers, "Mr. Fu, rest assured, as long as I get the money to open the shop, Ah Yan will definitely not know about this."

Fu Xingzhou suddenly let out a cold laugh, "Are you threatening me?"

"No, no," Ye Jian’an quickly trembled in fright, "A little less is also fine."

Fu Xingzhou stubbed out his cigarette, took the wet cloth handed over by the bodyguard to wipe his hands, "I can get you a seafood shop, but no money."

"But Mr. Fu..."

"Ask again, and you won’t have a life either."

Ye Jian’an immediately obediently shut his mouth.

Daring to make this trip today was entirely a gamble, he saw Fu Xingzhou personally picking up Ah Yan at the hospital, and he cared greatly for her. After over a year of marriage, they still hadn’t divorced, clearly showing Fu Xingzhou still cherished her.

As long as Fu Xingzhou still cared for Ah Yan, he certainly wouldn’t want Ah Yan to find out about the past.

Originally, he had washed his hands clean and finally patched things up with Ah Yan, the father and daughter rarelyn regaining their familial bond after many years.

Ah Yan said, as long as he didn’t gamble, their family could live together harmoniously, the past forgiven.

But Fu Xingzhou fancied Ah Yan and, wishing to possess her, he schemed for him to fall back into his gambling addiction, leveraging a five-million debt to forcibly claim her.

If he still cared about Ah Yan, how could he let Ah Yan know that the hope she had hardly picked up was because he had shattered it once again.
