98 Rebuttal
Le Wan’s words hit Fu Sui’s head like a sledgehammer. The words that Le Yan had said to him that day suddenly rang in his ears as well, “When I first saw this game, I thought that if I had the money, I’d buy it immediately. Unfortunately, I’m not as rich as you, so I could only watch.”
Since even Le Yan could see the value of the game, there was no reason that Le Wan wouldn’t. As the little princess of the Le family, the money in Le Wan’s disposal was so much more than that of Le Yan, the ‘real’ daughter of the Le family.
“You got the rights from Zhai Jing first?” Fu Sui blurted out.
He could not think of a second possibility. From this, Fu Sui’s imagination went into overdrive. An example of which was: ‘Was the real reason why Le Wan ‘fell in love’ with someone else so quickly was because she already had eyes on Zhai Jing’s game from the very beginning and planned to get close to him so that she could get first dibs on buying the copyright from him?’
Fu Sui’s eyes squinted as he sized up Le Wan again before saying with a smile, “I never expected you to be so willing to take such a risk.” It was just a game, but the Le family’s young miss had to personally come to the battle.
Seeing his expression and listening to his words, Le Wan knew that Fu Sui must have been imagining some inexplicable things again. She simply rolled her eyes and shrugged, feeling a little proud. “It’s all good, right? In any case, that junior is handsome, talented, and has a cute personality. He’s like a little doglike wolf, obedient and energetic. I won’t lose out, and I can even earn a lot of money. Isn’t it all worth it?”
She gave Fu Sui a meaningful look. Things were actually better now than before her transmigration. “Previously, I fed my heart to a certain dog and didn’t get any benefits. I even lost money and reputation.”
Although no one dared to say it directly, Le Wan more or less knew what people were talking about behind their backs when it came to Fu Sui and her: they were calling her stupid and stupider.
Having his game ‘stolen’ and him being ridiculed by Le Wan, Fu Sui inevitably couldn’t hold his anger back. “People usually say the Le family values benevolence and righteousness when doing business, but I beg to differ! Otherwise, they wouldn’t have raised a daughter like you, who would resort to shameless means to achieve her goals!”
Le Wan sneered, “Fu Sui, do you think your Fu family has the right to say such things? Aren’t you forgetting the state you were in when you came to my grandfather and father a few years ago, when something happened to your family?”
Fu Sui’s face changed as soon as Le Wan mentioned this. How could he ever forget?! At that time, the Fu family was in a difficult situation and needed the help of the Le family to overcome its difficulties. So, regardless of his wishes, he was tied together with Le Wan, who he didn’t even like, and they were engaged.
All these years, he has had a bad impression of Le Wan mostly because of this incident that he regarded as a disgrace.
In Fu Sui’s view, he was treated as a commodity, and for simple benefits, his family had sold him to the Le family. Therefore, every time he heard Le Wan or the other people around him talk about their previous engagement, his mood would become very bad.
Fu Sui was too agitated to retort, and in the end, he only managed to say: “Then you’d better pray that Zhai Jing never learns about this! Otherwise, your golden goose might fly its coop! Don’t count your chickens before they hatch!”
“Right back at you. Why don’t you just go back and worry about your own game company and your actual girlfriend instead of spending your time worrying about other people’s affairs? You never know, if you’re not careful, you might lose your money and your girlfriend at the same time!”
After that exchange, Fu Sui raged himself out.
Le Wan spat as he walked away, “What the hell was that?!”
She felt embarrassed just thinking about it now. If the Fu family didn’t try their best to curry favor with Grandpa Le, would he even have agreed to their engagement back then? Now that their family has had a resurgence, they had the gall to start talking about being ‘shameless’?! They really are a bunch of selfish ingrates!’
However, this also made Le Wan realize a problem: ‘If Fu Sui and Le Yan really continued their relationship and if the what she knew of the Fu family remained the same, Fu Sui’s father, that big snob, would very likely not accept Le Yan as a daughter-in-law, because of her previous status of being a destitute side branch member of the Le family.’
‘Most likely, these ingrates would try to seize their family’s businesses as a condition of accepting Le Yan into the Fu family! What’s more is that Second Uncle would definitely be eager to cooperate with them to try to grab everything they can get their hands on!’
