Since Yan Xi had said so, Xia Shi Xue felt she would be letting Yan Xi down if she didn't do something.
Xia Shi Xue shot Shi Wen Wen a look, then began to cry piteously.
Shi Wen Wen stood there with a placid expression.
Fu Yan Ting detested women who cried readily, as well as those who resorted to violence at the slightest provocation.
At this moment, Shi Wen Wen and Yan Xi embodied both of these traits.
It was truly difficult for Fu Yan Ting not to dislike them.
However, Shi Wen Wen was smug.
The more they acted this way, the more it highlighted her own perfection. Since Xia Shi Xue was scheming and Yan Xi was throwing a tantrum, she would just watch them.
The corners of Shi Wen Wen's lips curved upwards slightly.
Ever since Fu Yan Ting appeared, his gaze had not left Yan Xi, so his attention was not on Shi Wen Wen, and he didn't notice her little scheme.
Seeing Fu Yan Ting constantly staring at Yan Xi, Shi Wen Wen also felt a flutter of panic and quickly tried to explain everything that had just happened to Fu Yan Ting.
But as soon as Shi Wen Wen opened her mouth to call Fu Yan Ting's name, Yan Xi interrupted her.
Yan Xi glared at Shi Wen Wen, her face contorted with rage, and said coldly, "If you don't want to be beaten, shut your mouth."
Shi Wen Wen, as if threatened, wisely closed her mouth.
Hearing this, Xia Shi Xue stopped crying and looked at Fu Yan Ting. She said, word for word, "Yan Ting, look at her, she's like a tigress, truly disgusting."
Fu Yan Ting ignored Xia Shi Xue, his eyes fixed on Yan Xi. After a long pause, he said coldly, "Fu Corporation is not a place for you to throw tantrums and make trouble."
With that, Fu Yan Ting strode towards his office.
Xia Shi Xue froze, what did Fu Yan Ting's words just mean? Was he calling her a troublemaker?
Seeing Fu Yan Ting turn to leave, Yan Xi quickly followed, grabbing Fu Yan Ting's sleeve.
Fu Yan Ting looked down, but said nothing.
Yan Xi said anxiously, "I have something to tell you."
In fact, Yan Xi's visit to Fu Corporation was within Fu Yan Ting's expectations.
Fu Yan Ting also knew exactly why Yan Xi had come.
Looking at Yan Xi, Fu Yan Ting said in a detached and distant tone, "Tell me whatever you have to say after I finish work. If it's a matter of business, make an appointment at the reception desk. When it's your turn, the reception staff will contact you."
"Fu Yan Ting, do you have to speak to me with such an attitude?"
Yan Xi roared, she was truly furious.
Yan Xi had accepted whatever way Fu Yan Ting treated her normally.
It was her fault for not being able to judge people.
But Yan Xi hadn't expected Fu Yan Ting to treat her with such an attitude.
Yan Xi had come today hoping to reason with Fu Yan Ting and beg him to spare the He family. She never expected Fu Yan Ting to treat her this way.
Yan Xi's anger instantly surged.
She walked up to Fu Yan Ting and slapped him.
Originally, Yan Xi had intended to explain things properly, hoping Fu Yan Ting would be lenient and spare the He family.
Yan Xi and He Yun truly had nothing going on between them.
Yan Xi knew Fu Yan Ting hated her. Given Yan Xi's acquaintance with He Yun, Fu Yan Ting had no reason to target the He family because of Yan Xi.
The surrounding air seemed to still.
Everyone was surprised by Yan Xi's fiery temper, daring to strike Fu Yan Ting in front of so many people.
Shi Wen Wen stood by, waiting for Fu Yan Ting to deal with Yan Xi.
After all, the last person who dared to hit Fu Yan Ting had gone to meet the king of hell.
Shi Wen Wen stood there gleefully, anticipating Fu Yan Ting's outburst at Yan Xi.
Even Xia Shi Xue, who had been pretending to cry, forgot her act and stared blankly at the scene that had just unfolded.
The employees of Fu Corporation gasped and secretly gave Yan Xi a thumbs-up in their hearts.
Everyone held their breath, waiting for Fu Yan Ting to punish Yan Xi.
But Fu Yan Ting didn't seem as angry. He swept a cold glance at Yan Xi and said indifferently, "Yan Xi, you're incredibly bold to dare to hit me. I think you're tired of living."
"You're right, I am tired of living. So what? Are you going to kill me then?"
Fu Yan Ting was infuriated but dared not do anything to Yan Xi, only retaliating with sharp words.
Yan Xi acted shamelessly, looking at Fu Yan Ting and saying, "Fu Yan Ting, release the He family immediately. If you dare to make a move against the He family again, I won't let you go."
Fu Yan Ting sized up Yan Xi, wanting to see how she planned to "not let him go."
Seeing that Fu Yan Ting had stopped and agreed to talk, Yan Xi quickly seized the opportunity and pulled Fu Yan Ting back to his office.
Once in the office, Fu Yan Ting raised an eyebrow and asked with a cold smile, "How do you plan to talk in my office? Or are you planning to offer yourself to me so I'll spare the He family?"
How could Yan Xi not understand the sarcasm in Fu Yan Ting's words?
If this were in the past, Yan Xi would have scoffed.
But now, He Yun was not wrong, and the He family was not wrong. All of this was because of her, Yan Xi, and she couldn't stand by and watch the He family suffer.
"If I really did that, you would spare the He family, and it wouldn't be unthinkable."
Yan Xi's tone was calm, devoid of any discernible emotion.
But Fu Yan Ting was enraged.
Fu Yan Ting hadn't expected Yan Xi to humiliate herself so much for He Yun.
It seemed He Yun held a very important place in Yan Xi's heart.
Since Yan Xi cared so much about He Yun, it seemed only fitting that Fu Yan Ting should tell her the truth about their relationship.
Fu Yan Ting suddenly laughed, a laugh tinged with amusement and mockery.
Yan Xi knew Fu Yan Ting didn't like her, and he was saying this simply to seize an opportunity to humiliate her.
But Yan Xi had no other choice. Knowing she would be humiliated by Fu Yan Ting, she still had to stay and let him hurt her.
Because Yan Xi couldn't ignore He Yun's fate.
If the He family went bankrupt because of her, He Yun's life in the He family wouldn't be easy in the future.
He Yun was merely a good friend who had helped Yan Xi a few times.
Yan Xi couldn't just stand by and watch Fu Yan Ting harm He Yun.
"Yan Xi, you think too highly of yourself. What makes you think I will listen to you and do as you say?"
Fu Yan Ting suddenly smiled, a smile with a hint of devilish charm.
Yan Xi knew Fu Yan Ting just wanted to humiliate her.
She took a deep breath, looked at Fu Yan Ting, as if she had made a momentous decision, and said, word by word, "If I give you custody of Yan Zi Tong, will you let the He family go?"
