I Want A Lifetime With You

Chapter 588

Chapter 588 Blinded By Hatred

“What?” Fu Ling waited patiently in front of Bai, but seeing the latter’s cheeks flush red as he struggled to give a response, she asked, “Are you keeping secrets now, Bai? Do you have secrets that I shouldn’t know about?”

Bai nodded but quickly shook his head again as if he were in a dilemma. “Don’t get mad, Mommy. I’ll come home with you!” Afraid that Fu Ling would get upset, he reached out to tug at her sleeve and said, “Take me home, Mommy!”

“Good boy,” said Fu Ling as she patted Bai’s head. However, there was a feeling of confusion in her mind. She wondered if Bai had met any new friends while she had been away from him.

Nevertheless, she could not figure anything out at the moment. “Let’s go home now. If you miss your friends here, I’ll bring you over here again if you’d like to come to visit them, okay?” As Bai was still young, Fu Ling thought he might forget about the new friends he had made after leaving the hospital.

“Okay!”

Fu Ling brought Bai downstairs and left the hospital after that. Unbeknownst to her, Su Shaoqing entered the ward after they left and stood inside for quite a long time. He stayed there until a nurse, who came in to clean the room, noticed him and asked, “Director, the young child from this ward has been discharged. The child’s parent had come to settle the hospital discharge paperwork. Are you here again to visit the child?”

“Yes, I already know that.” Su Shaoqing nodded before instructing the nurse, “Please tell the management staff that this room must remain empty at all times, and no one is allowed to enter the room!”

“Yes, I will!”

The nurse did not suspect anything and agreed. She thought the child must be someone important to Su Shaoqing, as whenever she came over to the ward, she would always see Su Shaoqing playing with the little child. The little boy is so sweet and adorable, and he’s really good-looking too. It’s a shame that he’s suffering from such a terrible disease.

The nurse shook her head. Then, seeing that Su Shaoqing had finally left the ward, she started cleaning the room.

Meanwhile, after leaving the hospital with Bai, Fu Ling had gone to the company to hand in her resignation letter. Since this was a sudden resignation, the company decided to handle it in accordance with the breach of contract provisions. Fu Ling could only smile faintly and say nothing.

After she had finished taking care of the resignation procedures, Fu Ling brought Bai to the mall and bought him some clothes.

Both mother and son strolled around the mall for a while. During the entire time, Fu Ling sensed as if there was someone following her. However, when she turned around to look, there was no one in sight. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

After they were done shopping, Fu Ling returned to Wutong Residence. At the same time, Su Shaoqing, who had been following her all the while, watched her enter Wutong Residence before driving away in relief.

Su Shaoqing’s actions were noticed by the men whom Fu Chengyan had sent to protect Fu Ling. Naturally, the news was relayed to Fu Chengyan. During that time, Fu Chengyan was discussing the recent information about Jiang City’s stocks with Li Heng.

In order to take on Fu Sijue’s men, both of them planned to follow the same strategy they had used to deal with the Song family a few years ago. Furthermore, it was obvious that Li Heng was a master of all

sorts of strategy.

“I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you in the meantime.” Fu Chengyan had already transferred two billion of capital to Prosperous Group as a way to sound out Fu Sijue’s response.

Meanwhile, at the Yun residence, Jiang Jingyun summoned Fu Sijue to the house. “Jing, do you know why I asked you to come over this time?”

Fu Sijue supported Jiang Jingyun as she sat down. Since the latter was well aware of her grandson’s personality, she said, “I always knew that you’re a good kid.”

“If you have something to tell me, just tell me now, Grandma.”

Jiang Jingyun closed her eyes, sighing gently. “Jing, when will vengeance come to an end?”

Fu Sijue lifted his head and furrowed his brows instantly. “Grandma, I have my own intentions and plans. It’s better if you don’t interfere with them.”

“Do you think I’d rather see you and Fu Chengyan fight among yourselves?”

Fu Sijue’s hands clenched slightly upon hearing Jiang Jingyun’s words. Noticing his gesture, Jiang Jingyun said, “I know what you’re thinking right now. However, you’re a part of the Fu clan.”

“But my last name is Yun, Grandma!”

“Jing, I know that you’ve figured everything out. Your father was like that back then, too. He wanted to seek revenge, but I managed to stop him. Initially, I assumed that after his passing, the past regarding the Fu clan would disappear gradually. However, seeing you become like this, I know you’re just like your father. Neither of you is willing to let go.”

“Would you be able to let go then, Grandma?”

Jiang Jingyun closed her eyes and sighed gently again. “Jing, I was once resentful before. Back then, I was still pregnant with your father and barely three months into my pregnancy. Even though your grandfather and I were in a marriage of convenience, he treated me very well, and he loved me very much. I thought we would live happily for the rest of our lives, but… things didn’t turn out as I imagined them to be. It was only half a month after your grandfather died that I found out I was pregnant. As he sacrificed his life to save mine, I knew I couldn’t just die. Hence, I blamed everything on Fu Zhengyun. If it weren’t for him, your grandfather wouldn’t be dead.”

Furrowing his brows, Fu Sijue looked at Jiang Jingyun. “That’s why I thought you shouldn’t forget about your husband’s death!”

“I did have that thought at first, and that was why I married into the Yun family when I was still pregnant. I had even instilled hatred in your father as well!” Jiang Jingyun closed her eyes out of guilt. “However, we were all wrong. I was wrong about it. Your grandfather’s death had nothing to do with Fu Zhengyun at all.”

“What are you saying?” Fu Sijue looked at Jiang Jingyun in astonishment.

Jiang Jingyun explained, “I only learned about it a few years ago. It was the year when your grandfather from the Yun family died that I got to know about the truth. The accident that killed your biological grandfather was caused by your grandpa from the Yun family, not Fu Zhengyun.”

Fu Sijue clenched his fists tightly. “I don’t get it!”

“At that time, the Yun family and the Fu clan had some business-related conflicts, and your Grandpa from the Yun family was smitten with me. Hence, he planned to cause the accident. However, he made a mistake during the accident. It’s true that he intended to kill your Grandpa, but he got the wrong car. As the car belonged to Fu Zhengyun, if everything went as planned, Fu Zhengyun would be the one

found dead. However, it was Fu Zhengyu who had been killed in the accident. Therefore, I blamed everything on Fu Zhengyun instead.”

It was a painful memory, and Jiang Jingyun became quite emotionally unstable as she reminisced about the past. Then, with trembling hands, she took out a thick diary from the safety deposit box. Judging from its cover and the yellow-stained pages, the diary was old and dated.

Jiang Jingyun handed the diary over the Fu Sijue. “Jing, when I found out about the truth, I told your father to stop pursuing the matter. However, he was stubborn and continued to seek revenge. I knew I couldn’t stop him, so I had no choice but to strip away his rights as the heir of the Yun family. At first, I thought everything would be forgotten with time, but I never thought you would follow in your father’s footsteps.”

When Fu Sijue flipped the diary open, he found out the handwritings were actually from Old Master Yun. “Grandma, this-”

“Truth be told, it’s all my fault. That was why I’ve been reluctant to step out of the confinements of the Yun family for so many years. I only wanted to atone for my sins. Jing, let everything go before it’s too late!” Jiang Jingyun held Fu Sijue’s hands tightly. “It’s not worth putting your future at risk for the sake of hatred from the past!”

“Grandma…”

“Was Shen Qianan the girl you told me about four years ago? I saw her that day, and her body was covered in wounds. If your brother hadn’t saved her, I’m afraid she would’ve been…” Jiang Jingyun did not dare to think any further. “Jing, I’m not hoping that you would achieve great success or become an outstanding person, but listen to my advice and stop what you’re doing now. Even if you wanted to go against the Fu clan, with the current abilities of the Yun family, you would never be able to compete against them.”

“Please let me think about it.” Fu Sijue withdrew his hands. His gaze fell on the diary Jiang Jingyun gave him. Suddenly, he felt a pang of emptiness in his heart. It was as if the tense thread wrapping his heart for so long had suddenly snapped, leaving him lost and confused.

“All right. I’ll give you some time to think about it. However, the Fu clan won’t spare you time to consider, Jing. Since you’ve been crossing swords with Fu Chengyan for so long, don’t you know what kind of person he is? Once he makes a move, there will be no turning back at all. I… I don’t want you to become engulfed in hatred and resentment!”

“Okay.”

Fu Sijue came out of Jiang Jingyun’s room. For the first time, the overwhelming and suffocating feeling that had been haunting him vanished all of a sudden. However, a sense of disappointment surged within him.

Ever since he was young, Fu Sijue had been taught to view the Fu clan and Fu Chengyan as the enemy. Because of that, he treated Fu Chengyan as his imaginary enemy from the very beginning. Fu Sijue had planned for the Fu clan and Fu Chengyan’s downfall for so many years. However, he was now told that all the hatred and resentment he carried on his shoulders were only a misunderstanding. In fact, the real murderer was someone else who had already died.

Fu Sijue found it hard to accept the truth, but he immediately felt much more at ease.

“Bad news, Mr. J! The companies that we’ve been secretly operating has suffered unknown attacks within a day today, and now the companies’ firewalls have all been compromised! As for the funds we’ve gathered that were meant to manipulate the stock market, we discovered that Shengyuan Group and Prosperous Group have been buying our shares instead!”

Upon hearing Yun’s news, Fu Sijue narrowed his eyes slightly while emanating a cold and grim aura throughout the room.

I didn’t expect that your attacks would come so quickly, Fu Chengyan. You didn’t even give me a chance to hesitate at all!

“What should we do now, Mr. J?”

Furrowing his eyebrows, Fu Sijue stared at the diary from Jiang Jingyun. A dark and grim look appeared in his eyes as he clenched the diary tightly with his bony hands. “Throw all of them away. Every single one of them!”

“What are you talking about, Mr. J? Do you know what it means to throw everything away? We’ll lose all we have right now, and everything we’ve done will be in vain.”

Yun did not know what Fu Sijue was precisely up to, but even a fool would know that such a move would not benefit them at all.

“Mr. J!”

“I’m telling you to throw them away!” Fu Sijue said coldly. “Get rid of them immediately! I’m giving you three days to settle this!”

“B-But, Mr. J…”

Yun was about to say something else, but it was clear that Fu Sijue no longer gave him the opportunity to do so.

Fu Sijue ended the call. As he stared at the phone, his gaze suddenly turned cold. He then quickly made a call to Yun Shen. “Yun’s Group has been making a lot of big moves lately. You’re behind all of this, aren’t you?”
