She could tell that Lu Shiyun was in an extremely bad mood. In the past, even if he was unhappy with Qin Fangang, he would still control his anger when he spoke. But now that he saw Qin Fangang, it was as if the anger that he had been suppressing all this time was instantly unleashed. Every word that came out of his mouth was laced with thorns.
Qin Fangang didn't seem to mind at all. He had one hand in his trouser pocket and the other hand was holding a half-lit cigarette. When he walked in, his sexy thin lips happened to be smoking. His dark eyes were slightly narrowed from the smoke and there was a hint of laziness in them.
"Where's the document that I asked you to find for me?"
He directly ignored Lu Shiyun's words and stood beside Xin Yu. He raised the cigarette in his hand and took a deep puff. "I've been waiting in the office for almost half an hour. Go and find the document that I asked for."
Xin Yu was speechless.
There was no way she didn't know that Qin Fangang was here to save the day. But deep down, she was very worried. His actions were so obvious. Wasn't he afraid that Lu Shiyun would find out?
Xin Yu bit her lip and looked at Qin Fangang's deep eyes through the smoke. She saw a bright light in his eyes that she could trust. Although it was suppressed in the deepest part of his eyes, she still saw it.
She should trust him. Moreover, Lu Shiyun was being so aggressive now. What else could she do? Moreover, since they had already said so much, if Qin Fangang was confident, he would definitely make the right decision.
The divorce couldn't be delayed any longer. After Qin Fangang found her at her father's hospital that day, he didn't immediately take her to see Qin Huimin. Xin Yu knew very well that if she wanted to stand in front of Qin Huimin openly, she had to at least keep her identity clean.
She should have believed him …
Xin Yu secretly took a deep breath and finally chose to leave. In fact, she knew that Lu Shiyun would be quite dissatisfied, but now she had no other choice. At least, Qin Fangang was here. If she wanted to leave, Lu Shiyun couldn't stop her.
"… Then I'll go look for the document first."
She glanced at Lu Shiyun, whose face was even darker than the bottom of a pot. She still felt a little guilty, but at the same time, she could feel the scorching gaze of another man, which gave her the courage and strength to persevere.
She walked out of the meeting room without looking back. When she closed the door, she saw Qin Fangang sitting down elegantly. He crushed his cigarette and threw it into the ashtray beside him. Then, she heard Lu Shiyun's angry voice. "… Have you really never taken me seriously? I called her in, and you want her to leave just because you want her to? Fan Gang, at least I'm still your father. This company isn't yours yet … "
…
Xin Yu closed the door and reached out to wipe her cheeks. She stood at the door in a daze for a while before she turned around and walked into her office.
In the face of Lu Shiyun's angry rebuke, Qin Fangang appeared calm and composed. "It's not that I don't take you seriously. I just feel that if you talk to her like this, you'll never reach a conclusion, so I want to cut the Gordian knot with a quick knife."
Lu Shiyun was speechless.
There were some things that everyone was well aware of, but this layer of windowpane paper was not something that anyone could poke through forcefully. Qin Fangang was a shrewd man. How could he not know if Lu Shiyun really knew about the matter between him and Xin Yu?
Previously, he had his suspicions and was only 60% sure. However, after so many things had happened recently, he slowly became certain. It was only when Qin Huimin suddenly appeared and found Xin Yu to force her to leave him that he was completely certain.
Lu Shiyun liked to play a game of cat and mouse. He liked to hide in the dark and manipulate others to do things for him. However, Qin Fangang did not like to play with him in this way. He could temporarily put aside everything else, but he did not want to delay the matter of Xin Yu at all.
"Did you listen to our conversation?"
Lu Shiyun was probably really angry. When he spoke, his breathing was a little unstable. In the past, he thought that Qin Fangang could not be controlled, but he would occasionally think that he was his son. However, the man sitting in front of him with a fearless expression was clearly his son. His aura completely overshadowed his own people. He had spent so much effort to invite him back. Was it really the right decision?
"The soundproofing of the door of this conference room is not very good."
Qin Fangang frowned. He took out another cigarette and lit it. He raised it to his thin lips and slowly inhaled. He seemed to have lost his patience and said directly, "I didn't come in to play dumb with you. Actually, I know very well how much you know. So, I let Xin Yu leave so that you can have a way out. She has always respected you. If she knew that you already knew about our relationship but had been using a cover-up to force her to leave, what do you think she would think? "
Lu Shiyun: "…"
He was so angry that his body was trembling. His eyes were filled with disbelief. He really did not dare to believe that Qin Fangang would directly tell him about his relationship with Xin Yu.
This son … This son that he had exiled abroad for a whole 28 years. He really did not understand him. It was not that he had never thought of getting closer to him, but now that things had come to this, he was very clear in his heart that this son of his could not possibly live in the same world as him. He was now glad that he had held back and did not transfer all of the Lu Clan's shares to his name. At least now, many things were still under his control.
Lu Shiyun pressed one hand to his heart. His thick eyebrows were tightly knitted together. He was an old fox in the business world after all. To be able to bring the Lu Clan to such a scale today, he was naturally not a simple person.
He adjusted his breathing and nodded. Instead, he laughed and used the walking stick in his hand to hook the office chair beside him. The chair slid to his side and he sat down. "Fan Gang, are you admitting to me that you don't care about ethics? She's clearly your brother's wife, but you want to touch her like this. Now, you're actually speaking with such certainty. Do you think you're doing the right thing?"
"Ethical?"
Qin Fangang chuckled. His well-defined index and middle fingers held two-thirds of the lit cigarette. His ring finger tapped on the desk from time to time. It was a very soft sound, but in this large and oppressive space, it gave off a strong sense of oppression.
The man's thin lips curled up slightly. It was light and sexy, but with a hint of coldness. "In my world, there's really no such thing as ethics and morality. I'm an illegitimate child, aren't I? My family background is not that open and aboveboard. I'm clearly the eldest son, but my biological father let the younger son take his surname. My mother should have met you first, right? But she was inexplicably exiled to that place in England for 28 years. "
"For the past 28 years, what kind of pressure have you let my mother bear alone in England? And you're here. How glorious are you? If you want to talk about ethical, I've never really cared about that. I also don't care about other people's opinions. Because in my world, Qin Fangang, I only know one thing — if I've decided on a woman, I won't let her become a woman I can't see. Of course, it doesn't matter what color coat she wears. What's important is that one day, she'll be the same color I'm wearing. "
Qin Fangang ignored Lu Shiyun's constipated, colorful old face. He took another deep puff of the cigarette and finally threw it directly into the ashtray. His tall body stood up from the office chair and casually gathered his suit jacket. His low voice was domineering and determined to win.
"I came in to clarify this matter with you. Just as you said, I've touched her, but I won't stop after touching her. I plan to have her for the rest of her life. As for whether you agree or not, to me, it's never the most important thing."
Qin Fangang casually said these few words and turned to leave.
Lu Shiyun was so angry that he raised the crutch in his hand and pointed it at Qin Fangang's back. He growled in a low voice, "— Dream on! You actually have the nerve to make such a solemn vow to me about such a disgraceful thing? Let me tell you, there's no way I'll let Xin Yu be with you. Don't even think about it. This is a disgrace to the Lu family! "
"A disgrace to the Lu family?"
Qin Fangang leaned to the side. He had one hand on the door handle. The moment he heard this, he raised one of his eyebrows. It was as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. He looked at Lu Shiyun's eyes in disbelief and said in a disdainful tone, "I thought the Lu family has been disgraced enough. This should be the least worth mentioning. Why are you holding on to it so tightly?"
"… You — You — Qin Fangang! Do you still think of me as your father?! "
Lu Shiyun was so angry that his face was contorted. His chest was heaving violently. The paleness on his face wasn't an act. It was a result of anger.
Qin Fangang frowned. A hint of heaviness flashed across his sharp brows, but it was fleeting.
The word "father" was really a word that required too much responsibility. But when it came to Lu Shiyun, what did he embody?
It was nothing more than — selfishness.
"Then, do you think of me as your son?"
Qin Fangang's back was facing him. The moment he finished speaking, he tightened his grip on the door handle. He pulled the door open and strode out with his long legs.
