Chapter 200 Influence
When the group arrived at the venue, many people immediately greeted Old Man Fu.
However, what attracted the most attention was Fu Jin and Jiang Yue who had entered the venue hand in hand.
"What a beautiful girl. When will you guys tie the knot?" a mature woman asked Fu Jin when she was introduced to Fu Jin and Jiang Yue by her husband.
"Soon... Mrs. Chen. Don’t worry, we will send an invitation to everyone," Fu Jin answered happily. Even though he had already married Jiang Yue, the thought of their marriage was still making him ecstatic. Moreover, he still owed Jiang Yue a grand marriage.
"Oh... I am so excited to see such a beautiful couple. Feiyan, you are one lucky mother-in-law to have Miss Jiang as your son’s wife," another guest chimed in.
Jiang Yue and Fu Jin were currently surrounded by a group of mature men and women who wanted to curry favor to both the Wang and Fu families.
"I agree... Zhao Feiyan is really lucky to have Miss Jiang as a daughter-in-law. She is not only very beautiful but also very smart, especially when it comes in business," another person said.
However, the conversation instantly turned stiff when one of the guests opened up a conversation about the current predicament of the Wu Conglomerate. Everyone seemed to be aware that many of the shareholders had decided to pull out and transfer to Fu Conglomerate.
Some expressed their concerns to Fu Jin.
Some people also started to doubt if Jiang Yue was really suited to be Fu Jin’s wife, especially some of the Fu Family’s close friends and relatives.
Aside from this, people had started to praise Fu Jin’s cousin as the calm, cold and talented young master of the Fu Family.
Moreover, many people thought that if Fu Zouyi were to challenge Fu Jin, he would have a great chance of winning and obtaining the patriarch position.
This conversation continued until Jiang Yue decided to distance herself and go to the bathroom to freshen up. For Jiang Yue, these people were not important. Moreover, she was already married to Fu Jin so their opinion didn’t really matter.
"I told you to stop staring at Jiang Yue. What are you doing staring at her like a creep?" Jiang Yue heard someone’s voice as she was about to enter the bathroom. Her curiosity instantly piqued so she decided to eavesdrop a little.
"Honglie let me go... I was not staring. I..."
"Shut your trap. You useless piece of sh*t! I don’t want to attract her attention! So stop staring at her!"
The woman started to sob.
"Stop crying! What are you crying for?" The woman did not answer as she continued to sob. "Don’t come back to the party. I will let everyone know that you are feeling sick. What a useless woman!"
Jiang Yue then heard footsteps coming her way. She pretended to hum before opening the door to the bathroom.
"Miss Jiang I did not know that you were here." Jiang Yue turned to look. Her face instantly blossomed into a smile when she saw that it was Fu Jin’s uncle, Fu Honglie.
"Mr. Fu... I was just about to freshen up. How come you are here and not at the party?" She asked, her face did not show any sign that she heard what had transpired a minute ago.
"Oh... Please call me Uncle. Anyways, I had to accompany your Aunt Liyin since she was not feeling well at the party."
"Really? Is she feeling any better now?" she asked.
"She is already resting. I have to head back to the party so I left her to rest for now."
"That’s good to hear. I have to go freshen myself. See you at the party Uncle." She waved her hand before making her way into the bathroom.
Jiang Yue was able to confirm that Fu Honglie was abusive towards his wife. However, it was still not clear why he would stop his wife from staring at Jiang Yue.
Was he hiding something?
Was that why he didn’t want to attract Jiang Yue’s attention?
What about his wife? Why was she acting weird around Jiang Yue?
Jiang Yue felt a headache when she thought about the questions that were starting to pile up in her brain.
However, her suspicions towards Fu Jin’s uncle just got bigger and bigger as time passed. All she needed now was to announce that she was the owner of Moon Corp.
After Jiang Yue had finished retouching her makeup, she immediately went back to the party and told Fu Jin about what she had witnessed a while ago. Fu Jin frowned at her words.
"I will let Father announce the engagement in a bit," Fu Jin said. Since Fu Honglie did not want to attract Jiang Yue’s attention, it could only mean that he was hiding something.
After some time, Fu Yi announced the engagement to everyone. In addition, to everyone’s surprise, he also informed them of Jiang Yue’s affiliation with Moon Corp.
Everyone stood there stupefied at Fu Yi’s words. Jiang Yue owned Moon Corp? If she was to marry Fu Jin then... then wouldn’t it double, if not triple, Fu Jin’s influence?
That would mean his chances against Fu Honglie had now doubled. For some of them, this was very good news. However, to some people, this was a piece of very bad news.
