Fang Yu looked at Song Chaoyu fearlessly, a smile playing on his lips.
"That's just the surface meaning.
Although Uncle Song took on the responsibility of running the Song Group at a young age and has worked hard all these years, he's always paid great attention to exercise and maintained excellent health.
So why did things take such a sudden turn for the worse in recent years?"
"Don't you think there's something fishy about all this?"
Song Chaoyu stared at Fang Yu intently, her eyes cold. Finally, her expression slowly softened, and she smiled.
"Mr. Fang, you're overthinking this. Don't I know my own father's health better than anyone?"
"Really? Perhaps I am just overthinking it."
Fang Yu chuckled and spoke casually, but inwardly he sneered.
I don't believe you for a second!
He knew very well that Song Guofu's illness was entirely Song Chaoyu's doing. Even the private doctor specifically responsible for Song Guofu's care was one of Song Chaoyu's people.
If I remember correctly, after the engagement ceremony between Song Chaoyu and me, Song Guofu's condition will relapse again under her manipulation. The treatment will prove ineffective, and he'll eventually... die suddenly.
Then the Song family, which she's already secretly controlled to a large extent, will become entirely hers.
But...
Fang Yu frowned inwardly.
Song Chaoyu truly deserves to be one of the top villains in this story. Her psychological fortitude is impressive. Anyone else would have panicked after being tested so suddenly by me.
Yet it only took her a few seconds to regain her composure.
"That's good—as long as we've cleared up the misunderstanding. But Mr. Fang, you really shouldn't speak so carelessly."
"Don't you agree?"
Song Chaoyu smiled sweetly, like a flower blooming atop a mountain peak. Her beautiful face seemed to eclipse everything around her.
The waiter serving nearby, dressed in a white shirt and black tie, couldn't help but glance up. The moment he saw her, he became completely entranced.
Gazing at Song Chaoyu's nearly perfect figure, a flash of greed flickered in the waiter's eyes. If I could steal just one kiss from such a beauty, it would be worth dying for!
Suddenly, the waiter felt a chill run down his spine.
He snapped back to reality, his heart sinking.
This is bad.
Fang Yu is right here beside us.
Song Chaoyu is his fiancée!
Staring so blatantly at the eldest son of the Fang family's fiancée—isn't this courting death?
"Creak."
The waiter's neck turned stiffly, and he found himself facing Fang Yu's expressionless face and those... ice-cold eyes.
His body froze completely.
"Where exactly are your eyes looking?"
Sure enough, Fang Yu's voice carried no warmth whatsoever.
Regardless of everything else, Song Chaoyu was his nominal fiancée. She belonged to him. How could he allow others to covet what was his?
He wouldn't permit even a single glance!
The waiter's heart turned cold.
He bowed repeatedly, sweat beading on his forehead as he stammered, "Mr. Fang, I was wrong! I absolutely didn't mean anything by it... I'm willing to accept whatever punishment you see fit!"
His nervousness made him stumble over his words.
The waiter felt deep regret.
How could I be so stupid? Making such a basic mistake!
A scolding is inevitable. Not only will it be humiliating, but they might even dock my pay.
Still, the waiter wasn't overly worried.
In his opinion, Fang Yu had always been fairly even-tempered, so he didn't take the situation too seriously. He couldn't imagine Fang Yu would actually do anything severe to him.
Fang Yu's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes narrowed slightly. "Oh, since you're willing to accept punishment, I won't make things difficult for you."
"Resign immediately and leave Haiqing City."
"What?"
The waiter was stunned.
Resign and leave Haiqing City?
The waiter's face turned ashen.
"No, Mr. Fang, surely you're joking? My entire family lives in Haiqing City!"
"Hmm?"
Fang Yu's eyes flashed with cold light, striking fear into anyone who met his gaze. "Do you think I'm joking with you?"
"If I see you in Haiqing City again, I'll have your eyes gouged out! How dare you covet what belongs to me?"
Under that piercing stare, the waiter's legs gave out, and he collapsed to the ground, his face deathly pale.
It's over.
One moment of foolishness, one careless glance, and I've ruined my entire future.
Everything I've worked so hard for in the first half of my life.
All gone!
"No, Mr. Fang, please give me one more chance! I swear I'll never dare do it again—never!"
The waiter crawled toward Fang Yu, clutching at his legs as he begged desperately for mercy.
But Fang Yu kicked him away impatiently. "Get lost!"
"Mr. Fang, is it really necessary to go this far?"
A crisp voice came from the side, making Fang Yu turn his head.
Song Chaoyu spoke with a calm expression, though a hint of anger flashed in the depths of her eyes.
His tone... it's as if I'm his property!
Fang Yu walked toward Song Chaoyu and stopped directly in front of her. "Of course it's necessary. Some people always fail to recognize their position and don't understand what they're dealing with. Naturally, they have to pay a painful price... Wouldn't you agree?"
The words seemed to carry deeper meaning.
Song Chaoyu's eyes flickered slightly.
His tall stature, sharp gaze, and domineering, arrogant manner actually gave her a faint sense of oppression!
Is this still the same pampered young master I never took seriously?
The feeling he's giving me today is completely different!
"I'm tired today. Let's end this here."
Fang Yu turned around, took a towel from nearby, and wiped the sweat from his face.
With that, he turned and walked away.
"Ding! The host successfully changed the plot!"
"Host's villain value +500! Protagonist Chen Ye's luck value -500!"
