The Widow "Misses" Her Villainous Late Husband

Chapter 135

Unaware of the reason for her master’s silence, Duoduo rubbed herself against Fu Sinian’s arms before stretching out the tip of her tiny pink tongue and licking the back of his hand.

With that, Fu Sinian returned to his senses.

Amidst tonight’s silence, he suddenly felt as if he had been awakened. In fact, for a long time now, whenever he came home from work he would always see Yu Duo standing at the gate, clearly waiting for him to come back with delight and expectation in her eyes.

And, no matter how late it got, even if he worked overtime until the early hours of the morning, whenever he stepped into this room the person sleeping on the bed would always immediately get up, take his coat, and then run a warm bath for him.

In the first twenty years of his life, he had never met anyone as thoughtful and tender to him as Yu Duo was, and he had slowly grown dependent on her. On the nights when he made his way home from work on time it was always her slim figure standing in the doorway, that figure that drew him in like a tiny warm sun, that was his only comfort after dragging his tired body home.

He had always thought that Yu Duo loved him, and he even felt that if it hadn’t been for these recent three months where strange things had been happening, perhaps, the two of them could still be the same as before.

After all, there had never seemed to be a rift between them, and their love had seemed complete but, in reality, it seemed that Yu Duo’s heart had already long flown away from him.

Duoduo was sleepy, so she crawled out of his arms, laid down on the bed, and then fell asleep.

Duoduo, Duoduo...

Fu Sinian suddenly laughed. “Did you master buy you in order to give me a hint?”

Duoduo didn’t answer his question, only lazily flicking her tail by way of response.

That night, Fu Sinian stayed up all night.

In the end, he reached a conclusion. He felt that, when it came to this matter, he had an undeniable responsibility and that he must definitely bear all the consequences for his actions. However, he also wanted to talk to Yu Duo again and explain.

But, the day that Fu Sinian planned to go to the Yu residence and pick Yu Duo up in hopes of having a proper conversation with her, there was suddenly an article written by an ‘informed person’ that went viral overnight. The article detailed the first meeting between Fu Sinian and Yu Duo. It said that when Fu Sinian first met Yu Duo, he was overcome with lust and purposefully drugged her wine so that he could take advantage of her.

The article was full of so many details that you would suspect that the writer was there on the scene, including specific details like what kind of drinks the two had drunk that night. Then, at the bottom of the article, there were several pictures taken from the hotel’s surveillance system on that night, including a picture of Yu Duo stumbling into her hotel room, and another picture of Fu Sinian also entering the room.

Of course, truth be told, this sort of matter was already history, and the two people were now husband and wife, so it could hardly even be considered news. However, the key point was that Fu Sinian was currently in a somewhat delicate position.

Because right now, Fu Sinian was one of the candidates being considered for the Top Ten Outstanding Young Businessmen Award, and the government had been promoting him as a representative of the cities’ outstanding youth. However, now that someone had dug up this old account, and suddenly the person that the government had been promoting was actually a man accused of the vicious crime of rape, whether it was true or not, the government had to give an account to the public.

The article spread with unnatural speed, and Fu Sinian received a phone call from the relevant department the very next day, where someone told him that the government hoped that he could cooperate with the investigation. At the same time, the stock of the Fu Group began to fall as the employees and shareholders became unstable, and Fu Sinian found himself being criticized from all sides.

If this matter was true, needless to say, the big project south of the city that the Fu Group had been eyeing for a long time now would definitely slip through their fingers.

“Big Brother, this matter...”

Fu Sinian said, “It was Qin Shao.”

Obviously, if the Fu Group’s bid for the project failed then the biggest beneficiary would definitely be Qin Shao, not to mention the many years of hostility between him and Fu Sinian. And, as for his knowledge of all the details from the hotel that night, it could only be Qiao Jiao.

Qiao Jiao had been Fu Sinian’s assistant who had been following him for over five years, so if she were the one to break this sort of news then people would naturally attach a higher degree of credibility to her words.

“Big Brother, we’ve suppressed the negative public opinion about us for now, but our prospects for the project aren’t very optimistic. Also, Qiao Jiao called, she said she wants to see you.”

Fu Sinian only sneered without saying a word.

Ever since that time when Qiao Jiao had been dragged out of the Fu residence by the police, Fu Sinian hadn’t seen her again. In the past, he had respected Qiao Jiao for her beauty and her ability, but he had always drawn a firm line and she had only ever been his most trusted assistant.

Had it not been for that mysterious experience that he went through, perhaps she would still be that trusted assistant even now. After all, he would never have thought to treat her badly.

Four o’clock that afternoon, in the interview room of the detention center, Qiao Jiao successfully met Fu Sinian for the first time in weeks.

Back when she had been Fu Sinian’s ever-busy assistant, Qiao Jiao had been a glowing beauty, but after a month in the detention center, she was almost unrecognizable. Her appearance was haggard, her long and curly hair that had won praise from many men was now withered and had lost its luster, her face was sunken, and her body seemed malnourished under her broad prison uniform.

Handcuffed, she sat down opposite Fu Sinian.

“I heard you wanted to see me.”

Qiao Jiao looked up and scrutinized him carefully with her exhausted-looking eyes, while her dry and cracked lips stayed tightly pursed. However, after a moment of this, she suddenly grinned and said, “Do you think I deserve to be where I am today?”

Fu Sinian just stared at her silently and did not reply.

Qiao Jiao continued speaking, as if to herself, “I have been by your side for five years, I worked for you and helped you for five years. In the end, I paid five years of my youth and gave everything for you, but now you have nothing you want to say to me?”

Fu Sinian leaned back in his seat and his gaze turned frigid. He corrected, “First, it’s true that I cannot deny that you have helped me for five years, however, those five years came with a clearly marked price, and I always properly paid your salary. So, from that perspective, you have no right to say that you paid your youth for me, because I properly compensated you in return. In the end, you only fell to this state because you were too greedy. And second, from the moment you decided to cooperate with Qin Shao I no longer had anything to say to you. “

“Right, in your eyes, I could only ever be an assistant, an employee of your company, no different from the thousands of other employees there. But what about Yu Duo?”

Fu Sinian frowned. “This has nothing to do with her.”

“Nothing to do with her?” Qiao Jiao chuckled wryly. “Even until now, I still really don’t understand why you married her back then, back when the two of you had never even met before.”

“If you called me here today just to have a chat with me then I’ll have to apologize in advance. I’m afraid my time is limited.” As he spoke, Fu Sinian stood up as if he seriously intended to leave.

“In fact, I’m the one who’s responsible for a certain piece of gossip that is currently circulating about you.”

Fu Sinian stopped moving, just standing there and looking at her.

“Don’t you want to hear my terms?”

“You want to threaten me?”

“Mr. Fu, this is indeed a threat, moreover, it’s a threat you won’t be able to refuse. I imagine that your wife should have heard about it by now, right? You tell me, if she knew that you were the one who orchestrated the entire farce on that night, what would she think?”
