Chapter 20

For a moment, they were caught between advancing and retreating.

Fu Huaiyan also realized he had been far too obvious. His wife must have noticed.

She would find out sooner or later anyway. Once the time was right, he would confess to his wife that he could hear her thoughts.

But they still had guests at the moment, so his expression did not really change.

Su Wanqiao looked at the four couples, the chairmen of small companies and their wives, as they agonized over the matter.

Then she began studying their faces.

She examined them very carefully.

Fu Huaiyan's gaze flickered and wandered, mainly because he did not understand why his wife was looking at other people so intently. She had never looked at him that way. He was going to get angry...

As Su Wanqiao looked, she thought about the roles those young ladies with bit parts had in the plot.

Mostly, she recalled the plot involving Fu Qingshu, a supporting character, to see whether there were any hidden scenes.

And thinking it over really did uncover some earth-shattering gossip.

Just as Fu Huaiyan was about to cough twice to attract his wife's attention.

He suddenly saw it.

[Old Wang's wife is having an affair with this President Sun beside her. What's even more infuriating is that it's been going on for over twenty years, and all three sons she gave birth to were fathered by President Sun. Not one is his own flesh and blood.]

"!!!"

Σ(⊙▽⊙"

What a huge melon.

Fu Huaiyan and Fu Siyao were so shocked that they started doing the second set of broadcast calisthenics on the spot in their minds.

Their hearts blazed with a thirst for gossip!

[Gu Yubai learned this through Fu Qingshu. In the end, he provoked infighting between the Wang Family and the Sun Family. Once both sides were badly wounded, he and Jiang Ruoning stepped out to reap the fisherman's rewards.]

[The Li Family, meanwhile, ultimately became Gu Yubai's lackeys. The Liu Family was destroyed, and even their only son was killed by Gu Yubai. The white-haired had to send off the black-haired, and their family was also targeted and suppressed by the Li Family. They wanted revenge but lacked the means, so they could only swallow their shattered teeth.]

[So the Liu Family really would be better off having their son marry into the family. The barefoot have nothing to fear from those in shoes. They would find themselves a backer and someone to shelter them, while the Fu Family would find itself a blade. It would be a win-win for both sides. Then they could kill with a borrowed blade, every slash drawing no blood yet dealing a fatal blow. Even if they couldn't kill the male lead, they could leave him severely weakened.]

Su Wanqiao was having an absolute blast indulging in these fantasies in her thoughts.

Fu Huaiyan and Fu Siyao nodded repeatedly. This plan was workable. The Fu Family did indeed need a little underling like that to handle things, though they would still have to assess whether the Liu Family had what it took.

The four wealthy couples were still exchanging looks. They all smiled awkwardly without answering or refusing, and simply sidestepped the subject to chat about other things.

Fu Huaiyan did not insist any further either.

But when they were about to leave and say goodbye.

He suddenly sighed out of kindness.

"President Wang, we've known each other for years. I even visited your home last time. But only when you came over today did I notice-why don't your sons look anything like you? If their surname weren't Wang, I'd really wonder whether they were your biological children at all, because I feel they actually look more like President Sun. They look as though they were cast from the same mold as him. Haven't you noticed it all these years?"

!!!

At those words, President Wang's expression changed dramatically.

Chapter 20

Expressions of shock and uncertainty kept flashing across President Wang's face. At that moment, his expression was extraordinarily complicated. Perhaps every expression he could think of in his life appeared on his face.

It was clear just how complicated President Wang's feelings were. Not a single word could express what was in his heart.

The other presidents and their wives also looked extremely awkward, but President Sun and Madam Wang were the most panicked of all.

The moment they heard Fu Huaiyan say that, their hearts lurched. Their first reaction was to wonder how he could know about a secret they had hidden for decades.

Madam Wang and President Sun believed they had kept their dealings very discreet. President Wang had not discovered them in all these years, and they did not understand how Fu Huaiyan had found out. But his words were clearly testing them.

So Madam Wang looked very displeased and suddenly said, "President Fu, not everything is fair game for a joke."

President Sun, on the other hand, said nothing, but he looked unhappy.

Besides, he really could not say anything at that moment. The more he said, the more suspicious he would make people.

For a moment, the atmosphere grew rather stiff.

After his wife finished speaking, President Wang's expression had already turned ice-cold. He had never paid attention to these things before, but after hearing Fu Huaiyan's words today and looking at President Sun's features again, his heart suddenly trembled.

President Sun had large eyes, a long nose, and thick lips, while he himself had small eyes, a short nose, and thin lips. Their features were vastly different. In the past, his children had been young and their faces had not fully developed, so he had not paid attention to whether they resembled him.

But as they grew older, many people had told him his sons did not look much like him.

Although he did feel that they really did not look very similar, he had never thought anything of it.

Hearing Fu Huaiyan say this today and looking at President Sun's appearance again, he saw that his three sons' face shapes and features were exactly the same as President Sun's. They basically all had large eyes, long noses, and thick lips. Outsiders who did not know would think they were President Sun's sons.

So it was hard not to wonder whether the sons his wife had borne were actually his.

As the saying went, family shame should not be aired in public. Even if President Wang was suspicious at that moment, he could not possibly show it in front of everyone.

With a gloomy expression, he said.

"President Fu, that joke isn't funny."

Fu Huaiyan laughed inwardly. Even if it really was not funny, if President Wang truly took his words as a joke, how could he be so angry? He had clearly taken them to heart. After today, there would probably be a good show to watch.

But although those three sons were not his, Old Wang did still have a daughter.
