Chapter 193: Chapter 193 Fu Siya in a Plight Like a Clown
This isn’t... isn’t this what she just said in the room to Li Muchen?
How could someone have recorded it? And the video is still in Lu Sheng’s hands?!
Fu Siya’s entire back was soaked with cold sweat that broke out, and she felt dizzy.
She could still deny the chat and transfer records by claiming they were photoshopped.
But in this video, her voice was clearly recorded. How could she possibly defend herself now?
This evidence is indisputably solid!
The very next second, Fu Siya saw three or four police officers entering the Great Hall with handcuffs in hand, their faces embodying righteousness.
—Grandpa, has Grandpa actually called the police?
Fu Siya’s eyes widened in disbelief; she couldn’t fathom that Old Mr. Fu would take things to such an extreme.
Even if there was a suspicion that she had hired someone to commit murder, Grandpa didn’t really die at sea, did he?
If this matter was resolved within the Fu Family behind closed doors, it never would have escalated to involving the police, and it could have been played down or quietly settled.
But now, now that Grandpa had publicly accused her and had Lu Sheng release the evidence.
Could Grandpa really disregard the Fu Family’s reputation and watch as the police take her away for investigation?!
She was only twenty-three!
She was Grandpa’s only granddaughter, bright with a promising future after studying abroad. Everyone she met would address her respectfully as President Fu or Miss Fu, basking in endless glory.
If she were to be publicly taken away by the police today, even if she were to be released later, how could she have the face to appear in public again?
The journalists at the scene instinctively made way when they saw the police arriving.
However, before the leading officer could reach Fu Siya on the stage, she pushed him hard.
Fu Siya had already lost her previous grace and composure, her hair disheveled, and she screamed out almost hoarsely: "No! You can’t touch me!"
"Grandpa, Grandpa, I really didn’t hire someone to kill you, please listen to my explanation..."
Even with the evidence presented before her eyes, Fu Siya still refused to admit her wrongdoing, which led Old Mr. Fu to complete disappointment, his gaze even more resolute.
Seeing the handcuffs being passed over by the police, Fu Siya shouted, "I dare you to cuff me!"
She gritted her teeth: "I am Li Muchen’s fiancée! The future lady of the Li Group!"
"Grandpa, even if you want the police to take me away, you have to ask if Li Muchen agrees to it!"
In Fu Siya’s view, she still had a bargaining chip.
Only Li Muchen could save her now.
As long as Li Muchen spoke up, saying she might have been wronged, that things could be deliberated carefully, there was still a chance for a turnaround.
Given Li Muchen’s status and position, whether it was Grandpa or the police present, they would all have to show him some respect.
—Did Fu Siya actually say she was Li Muchen’s fiancée?
Could the rumors previously spread online that the Li Family and the Fu Family might intermarry not be gossip, but true?
All the journalists on the scene turned their gaze to Li Muchen in unison.
Fu Siya looked at him full of hope, wishing he would say something to save her from her current predicament.
However, when Li Muchen lifted his eyes, his gaze toward Fu Siya was indifferent, devoid of a trace of emotion, like a superior looking down upon a lowly ant.
"Miss Fu, it’s important to be self-aware."
"Your malice has disgusted me from beginning to end." n𝚘𝚟𝚙u𝚋.co𝚖
"My grandmother has already been brought back by me and is now in a safe place receiving treatment."
"At this point, I hope you’ll take care of yourself."
Li Muchen spoke coldly.
His few words were like thunder, exploding suddenly in Fu Siya’s head.
What did Li Muchen say...?
He said he has always felt disgusted by her, that his grandmother has been receiving treatment in a safe place all along?
Meaning that he had never really been threatened by her, and he never truly planned to honor their marriage agreement.
All this... it turns out all this was just her wishful thinking!
Thinking of this, Fu Siya finally lost her balance, and stumbled before collapsing into a chair.
Half an hour ago, she felt like she had everything she wanted, that she was the ultimate winner.
But at this moment, she was like a clown performing for attention, becoming a laughing stock in everyone’s eyes.
The police began to disperse the crowd.
After an unknown amount of time, in the vast Great Hall only the police, Fu Siya, Old Mr. Fu, Li Muchen, and Lu Sheng remained.
Old Mr. Fu first looked at Li Muchen: "Muchen, don’t you have other matters to attend to? Take Shengsheng and leave first."
Li Muchen and Lu Sheng exchanged a glance, understanding that Old Mr. Fu had something to say to Fu Siya. They nodded and both of them left the Great Hall together.
Right after that, Old Mr. Fu looked at the lead officer in the room: "Officer Zhang, before you take my granddaughter away, may I speak with her for a few moments?"
"Of course, Old Mr. Fu, please feel free."
The police officer named Officer Zhang signaled the other officers to step back, and they all withdrew.
Seeing that the others had left, Old Mr. Fu let out a long sigh, and then slowly wheeled his chair in front of Fu Siya.
The Great Hall was silent, and Fu Siya sat in the chair listlessly, as if her soul had been lost.
"...Siya." Old Mr. Fu called out her name, his eyes filled with both compassion and undisguised sorrow.
Fu Siya lifted her head to look at her red-eyed grandfather, her shoulders trembling violently.
Her eyes were red with rage and filled with intense hatred as she almost hysterically shouted.
"Grandfather... you are my grandfather! Why did you do this, why would you ruin me!"
Fu Siya clenched her teeth, her voice fierce, "Yes... I admit, I indeed sent an assassin to kill you, Grandfather."
"I was filled with guilt as well, but now I only regret that the useless trash didn’t succeed, why did you have to survive!"
"If you had died, today nobody would be able to join forces with outsiders to publicly slap me in the face, to humiliate me, and to have the police come and take me away."
"In fact, you don’t love me as your granddaughter at all, right? In your heart, I’m not even comparable to an outsider like Lu Sheng."
"In your heart, Fu Chen is the grandson you love the most, the only heir of the Fu Family."
"Whereas I have always been a joke from the beginning, nothing but a disposable piece of the Fu Family!"
Hearing Fu Siya’s hysterical words, Old Mr. Fu’s lips trembled, as if he was at a loss for words for a while.
Eventually, he raised his hand to wipe away the tears welling up in his clouded eyes, his gaze filled with endless sadness and heartache.
"Siya... I never knew this is what you always thought of me."
"The Fu Family is not thriving with many children, I only have Chenchen as a grandson and you as a granddaughter, how could I possibly not care for you, not love you?"
"Chenchen’s dad passed away early, and he was so young. I was afraid that without his father’s guidance, he would go astray; that’s why I paid more attention to him than to you."
"In Grandfather’s heart, you’ve always been the most outstanding child that gave me peace of mind; otherwise, why would Grandfather put you in charge of the entire Fu Group as soon as you graduated and returned to the country?"
