Shattered by Fate, Restored by Truth-Chapter 8 - : Engagement? The Kind That Leads to Your Family’s Bankruptcy.

After several years, Su Wanxin still thought he might have changed a bit, at least gone a little easier on his fiancée.

Who would have thought he was thoroughly rotten, beyond redemption.

"So, do you agree or not?"

Fu Shihan frowned slightly, feeling like she was secretly cursing him.

"I dare not refuse. I just don't understand what President Fu wants me to do to settle this?"

Su Wanxin forced a smile.

"If things proceed normally, ST certainly won't stand a chance. So why go through the extra trouble? Can't we just decide the outcome at the bidding conference?"

By having her openly reject Shen Xiaochen's advances, Fu Shihan was finding various ways to make enemies for her. What was he planning!

"It's possible, but it would be boring." Fu Shihan leaned back in his chair, slowly taking off his glasses. "ST has grown quite ambitious in recent years, trying to grab too much. What I want is to cast a long line to catch a big fish."

Su Wanxin was stunned, shocked. "You...! You want to swallow up ST?"

Fu Shihan remained silent, but Su Wanxin had already understood that was indeed his intention. With this revelation, she actually felt a bit sorry for Shen Xiaochen.

Engagement, huh? The kind that leads to your family's bankruptcy.

Su Wanxin opened her mouth, wanting to say something more, when the phone on the table rang.

Fu Shihan answered, responded briefly, and then looked towards Su Wanxin.

Su Wanxin gave a helpless smile and turned to leave.

Outside the room, the secretary was already waiting. She took Su Wanxin to a small conference room, pushed the door open, and Shen Xiaochen was already inside.

Shen Xiaochen turned her head immediately at the sound of the door, expecting Fu Shihan, but it was someone she didn't expect...

Her smile gradually solidified, and with a stiff expression, she stood up abruptly. "What are you doing here?!"

Su Wanxin closed the door behind her and moved closer to Shen Xiaochen, observing her face.

It was clear that Shen Xiaochen had just touched up her makeup, trying to cover the traces of being hit on her face with foundation. She had really tried her best for Fu Shihan, but unfortunately, he was not one to pity or cherish a beauty.

"Aren't we supposed to talk about the Southern China project? I'm here to discuss it with you." Su Wanxin sat down in a chair, casually leaning back with her legs crossed, which was annoying to Shen Xiaochen.

"What gives you the right?" Shen Xiaochen scoffed. "Who do you think you are?"

"Miss Shen should understand the simple truth that harmony brings wealth. I'm here for a reason. The Fu Group will not let go of the Southern China project, even if you come begging."

Su Wanxin was very firm. "Because I don't agree."

"You don't agree? What are you but nothing?!"

"Do you know about Su's Fund, Miss Shen?" Su Wanxin suddenly changed the subject. "You should be familiar with that name, shouldn't you?"

Shen Xiaochen: "..."

Su's Fund was currently one of the top funds in the country, gathering several of the top traders in the industry. The company's largest shareholder had yet to make an appearance, and the name listed as the legal representative on the registration paperwork was also one that had never been heard before.

But, what did that have to do with Su Wanxin?

Shen Xiaochen suddenly had an uneasy feeling.

"I've decided on the Southern China project this time." Su Wanxin spoke softly, her pace slow. "Consider it a return gift for that phone call you made three years ago, alright?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"You'd better not know. Otherwise, if Fu Shihan finds out that the accident might be related to you, then the two of you getting married is definitely off the table, isn't it?"

Shen Xiaochen: "Do you have any evidence that proves it's related to me?"

"No. That's why... I'm back."
