Liu Wei is considered a minor shareholder, but compared to the bigwigs behind the industry, she is nothing.
It's just that her celebrity status makes it easier for her to operate in the public eye.
And because she frequently appears on screen and can advertise herself, she caught the eye of a powerful figure behind the scenes.
Choosing Fu Qiaoxi was a decision made by those people; she was there to act as a lobbyist.
Liu Wei felt that all the rich people in the world could not resist this temptation, especially rich young ladies like Fu Qiaoxi who valued their appearance.
She doesn't have to do anything; she gets paid and has priority access to the latest research findings to maintain her youthful appearance.
Women are willing to pay a high price for their appearance.
Therefore, she was very confident that Fu Qiaoxi would agree to her conditions.
"Miss Fu, have you made up your mind?"
Fu Qiaoxi looked into her eyes and frowned.
"You just said that those things were extracted from children's bodies. What happens to the children who have had those things extracted?"
Liu Wei was taken aback, not expecting her to ask that question.
However, she had prepared her answer in advance: "They will remain the same as before, and there will be no impact whatsoever."
Liu Wei's only thought now was to lure her onto the ship. Once she was on board, even if she learned the truth, it would be difficult for her to get off.
Because she herself was tricked into going there in the same way.
Although she might be soft-hearted at first, she is a celebrity who relies on her looks for a living, and in the face of the huge temptation of regaining her youth, that little bit of soft-heartedness is insignificant.
Moreover, having seen so much of it, she's become numb to it.
"Actually, those children were raised in captivity and didn't understand anything. Even if something happened to them, there's nothing to regret."
Upon hearing this, Fu Qiaoxi suddenly raised her eyes, her delicate hands clenched tightly, her cheeks flushed with anger as she glared at her.
How could you say such a thing!
She wanted to question her, but the door was suddenly kicked open.
Old Master Fu walked in, his hands trembling with anger. He grabbed a vase from the antique shelf by the door and smashed it hard at Liu Wei.
"You beast, get out of the Fu family!"
The two people in the room were startled by the sudden appearance of the old man. When the vase came crashing down, Liu Wei screamed and hurriedly covered her face to dodge.
"Crash—" Millions of dollars worth of things shattered on the ground.
Having dodged the vase, she looked at the newcomer in horror.
The way Fu Qiaoxi addressed her from the side gave her a clue to the person's identity.
"Grandpa! What brings you here?"
Old Master Fu's face was ashen. He glanced at Fu Qiaoxi with a gloomy look, showing no warmth whatsoever.
Immediately afterward, he turned his gaze away, pointed at Liu Wei, and roared furiously, "Get out of here! Don't you dare come looking for her again. If I find out you've instigated her again, I'll kill you!"
The "she" in this context refers to Fu Qiaoxi.
Liu Wei's face was deathly pale beneath her exquisite makeup; she was terrified.
She felt like she would suffocate if she stayed in front of such a powerful figure for even a second longer.
Her legs went weak, and her face burned as if she had been slapped hard.
She was terrified; for a few seconds, her mind went completely blank, and she didn't dare to move.
As the old man finished speaking, she swayed, her lips trembled, and without saying a word, she lowered her head, hunched her back, and slunk away.
As she passed by the old man, she could feel his intensely oppressive gaze above her head, which made her tremble even more violently.
As soon as she stepped outside, a cold wind blew, making her face feel cool.
Liu Wei then realized that she had actually been so frightened that she was crying.
When Old Master Fu kicked the door open, the commotion naturally attracted the attention of the passing servants.
They glanced inside from the doorway and then hurriedly ran to the main room to find Xia Yuechu.
Xia Yuechu rushed over in a panic, not even having time to put on her coat.
On the way, she encountered Liu Wei, who looked as if she was about to be executed, and quickly went over to stop her.
"What happened? What happened to Qiao Xi?!"
Liu Wei looked ashen-faced and stared at her in fear.
Her lips were still trembling as Xia Yuechu pulled her along, and she stammered, "I...I don't know."
She looks terrified.
Unable to get any information from Xia Yuechu, she let go of his hand and ran quickly toward the council hall.
The maid only told her that the old man was very angry and even hit her, but no one knew the specific reason.
Fearing that the old man might impulsively attack Fu Qiaoxi, she ran even faster.
After Liu Wei left, Old Master Fu looked at Fu Qiaoxi in the council hall.
His face still showed anger, and his eyes were very cold, sending chills down one's spine.
Fu Qiaoxi had never seen such a scene before. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but was interrupted by the old man.
"Why would you want to cooperate with someone like that? When has your family ever been short of money?"
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and coughed twice. When he looked up again, his eyes were red.
Fu Qiaoxi quickly went over to help him up: "Grandpa, let me explain."
She had no intention of accepting Liu Wei's conditions. The reason she listened to what she said was because this person had been deceiving her, treating her like a naive and wealthy young lady who knew nothing. She wanted to get to the bottom of things.
Little did she know that her grandfather was outside the door and overheard her misunderstanding.
Grandpa Fu ruthlessly shook off her hand, his cold pupils devoid of any emotion as he stared at her with a gloomy expression.
"Fu Qiaoxi, what kind of child have your parents raised? If you dare to drag the Fu family into this swamp, I'll break your legs, change your surname, and your whole family will get out of here!"
Fu Qiaoxi's face grew paler and paler as he spoke.
She never expected her grandfather to say such a thing to her. A feeling of shame and injustice welled up inside her, and tears streamed down her face.
The old man served as the head of the family for decades, dedicating his entire life to the Fu family. The Fu family was what he cared about most, and his descendants were secondary.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have neglected his children when he was young because he was too busy with work.
The Fu family's reputation was of utmost importance to him.
When Fu Qiaoxi and the others were born, the old man had become much gentler than when he was young, and they had never seen him get angry.
Especially with family members.
This feeling is more than just making it hard to breathe.
Fu Qiaoxi looked at him sadly and cried, "Grandpa, how could you be so heartless? You didn't even ask clearly. I never agreed to her."
The old man's expression suddenly changed drastically. He raised his hand and slapped her, then coughed heavily.
He rushed in; what if he hadn't come in?
To engage in such heinous business for one's own desires, using the Fu family's power to pave the way, and even defiling the Fu family—if he doesn't expel these people, is he just going to stand by and watch his family be scorned by everyone?
At that time, he will be a sinner to the family, and after he dies, how will he have the face to meet the ancestors of the Fu family!
"Qiao Xi!"
The first thing Xia Yuechu saw when she stepped inside was Fu Qiaoxi being beaten. She was so frightened that she almost cried out in shock. She hurriedly came in and pulled Fu Qiaoxi into her arms.
"Qiao Xi, are you alright?"
