Love Me Harder, Mr. Fu - Chapter 190

“It’s not true—”

“Shut up! My staff won’t lie to me, you get that?” Zichen fiercely cuts him off midsentence. He then turns to look at his father, angry about his stupid decision. “I request you to take that order back. He cannot work in the company anymore.”

His father gazes grimly at Donghai and his face says he believes what Zichen has said. There’s no other excuse or lie Donghai can say now to defend him.

After a long pause, his father finally declares his decision. “Donghai will not go to the company anymore.”

Donghai scowls, acting heartbroken. “Father, you cannot do this! I finally started understanding business and—”

“You understand business?” Zichen scoffs, “then I can also write a thousand novels in a blink.”

Donghai glares at him. Being inside the company is the only way to know about Zichen’s motives and secrets. He hates him so much that he will do anything to see him in pain.

“Behave! You are not going to the company anymore” his father states, his every word crystal clear.

Donghai opens his mouth to protests but Zhi Rup stops him, pressing his arm. He looks at her, frowning and she shakes her head telling him to shut his mouth.

He clenches his teeth, getting the remainder again that he isn’t her favorite son. From childhood, he thought his mother always took the side of Zichen. That’s what made him despise Zichen even more.

Aiguo leaves the room and heads back to his office, his face twisted in fury.

Donghai, fuming with anger charges towards Zichen and holds his collar, his eyes burning with hatred. “You shattered! What is your problem? You couldn’t bear to see my happiness, huh? You have to destroy everything I have” he snarls.

“Stop! Donghai!” she yells, frightened to see them fight. She cannot witness both of them in a fight again and again. It pains her to see them fighting.

Zichen isn’t going to back down this time. His head is hot as well. He pushes Donghai back with a force, glaring at him with disgust.

“That’s what you do. Destroy” Zichen says through his clenched teeth. “Get over yourself.”

Donghai charges over to him again, this time planting a punch in Zichen’s face, hard enough that it made Zichen lose his balance.

Zhi Ruo gasps, putting her delicate fingers over her mouth, almost on the verge to burst. Zichen glances at her and mumbles sorry before punching Donghai back on his gut.

The fight starts to get brutal and the bodyguards had to come to apart them. Aiguo comes running from his office after hearing all the sounds. His pupil dilates, finding both his sons again in that bloody condition.

They both are glaring at each other fiercely that if one comes between them, they might get burned. Zhi Ruo whimpers and seeing her in a condition like that, Aiguo gets angrier.

“When will the two of you understand?” Aiguo thunders. Even after trying so many ways to make them bond, they failed. He has enough of trying. If they do not want to bond, he cannot do anything with that.

“You stay out of my business” Zichen grits, threatening him. Saying that he gives one last look to his father, and then he leaves.

Donghai, getting his ego hurt, compiles himself and goes to his room without looking at any of them.

Zhi Ruo falls to the floor, crying. As a mother, it hurts her so much to see their son fighting as if they are enemies. She hopes, every day that her son will gradually bond with each other but that day never comes and her hope seems to diminish every passing day.

“Hold yourself, Ruo,” Aiguo says, holding her by her shoulder. “It’s worthless to try. They cannot tolerate each other.”

“How did it go like this?” she whimpers, tears streaming down her eyes, “what did we do to see something like this?”

Aiguo stays quiet, not knowing what time to say. He takes her back to their room and made her rest. Her health will worsen if she gets stress every day. As a father, he feels as of he has done nothing. His sons are barely tolerating each other and what did he do? As a parent, did he even actually tried?

**

He does not want to go to his empty villa and he also cannot go to see Shi Lian. He also does not want to go to the company, it will give him a headache and unnecessary the staff will get scolding. What a shitty life! Zichen accelerates the speed of his car, not caring if he breaks traffic rules. He needs something to take his mind off. The vision of her mother sobbing is making his head throb. He never wants to give pain to her mother but what can he possibly do when his brother shoves himself to him.

He cannot decide where to go. His hands are twitching to call Shi Lian and shares everything bottling inside him but he can’t. He cannot disturb her with his own problem when she is facing her own.

Not really glad of his decision, he stops the car and steps out. Zichen heads inside his base, thinking here he might be at ease.

The men greet him as he passes by them but Zichen only gives them a slight nod, his expression stiff. Finding an excuse, he goes to see the creepy man. Through the glass window, he watches him as the man stares at the empty ceiling with his lifeless-looking eyes.

He enters the room and when Tingyu Gu notices Zichen’s presence, he startles, sitting straight in his seat. “Look who is here to meet me,” the man says in a taunting tone.

Ignoring him, Zichen takes a seat opposite to him, looking at him nonchalantly.

“What do you want, Prince of Underworld?” he asks mockingly.

“Nothing that you can give me” Zichen retorts, looking disinterested.

“I am surprised you haven’t asked your girlfriend about what is happening inside the Mo family” he sneers.

Zichen does not give him the response he wants. “I respect her decision. If she feels to tell me, she will.”

The man rolls his eyes, sneering. He has been locked in this room for almost a week now and God knows how long he will be there. Zichen has been barely tolerating him and he will be very relieved if he is gone.

“You know, you are something, I must say Fu Zichen,” he says in a curious tone. “Doing whatever you want for your girlfriend.”

Zichen keeps his poker face the same and gazes at the man. He has no idea why he even came here in the first place. This man is damn annoying but still, he is here.

“Well, I am a good guy” he sneers, “Let me tell you something.”

Zichen scowls at him, crossing his arms over his chest. He has no interest in hearing his thoughts or whatever he wants to tell him.

“Do you know why Mo Zheng Yuan hates you?”

The question did get out a reaction from Zichen. Zichen does know why Shi Lian’s father doesn’t like him but he is curious to hear what this man has to say. “I do.”

The man snickers, now he has something he can be entertained. “That you are the Prince of Underworld?”

Zichen’s body stiffs and he feels weird as to why the man is smiling like a creep. He is aware of the fact that her father knows about him being involved in murder and that’s the only reason he hates him, according to him.

“No,” the man says, dramatically shaking his head, “There is a big reason you are not aware of. ”

“Why would you think I’ll believe what you say?” he snaps at him, narrowing his eyes.

The man laughs, an annoying one. “Because you have to. There’s no other choice left for you other than to believe me.”

Talking to this is equivalent to crashing your head to a rock. This man talks shit with no meaning behind it. When Zichen does not answers, he continues, “He hates you, not only you but your whole family.”

Zichen’s eyes widen and get on his feet abruptly as he glares at the man. “You should think before you speak. You won’t be breathing the next minute” he threatens but Tingyu Gu does not seem to be scared at all.

“Your family and the Mo family has a long history” he speaks, not afraid of Zichen or his threats. “He doesn’t like you because you are the heir of the Fu’s.”

“Cut the crap, already!” he bellows, having enough of this man’s bullshit. If it weren’t for Shi Lian’s request to keep him here, he would have killed him right away.

The man smirks, “Poor boy, your father never told you about your family secrets. Otherwise, you would have known what risk have you and that woman have taken.”

He does not understand what the man is saying. What family secrets? He keeps his head straight to not believe a single word of his. It was a bad idea coming here. Zichen turns around and starts to leave the room. Just when he puts one step out of the room, the man speaks, making him stop. “Don’t believe me? Ask Zheng Yuan or your father.”

Giving him one last glare, he leaves the room, his head in a mess, and decides to drive until he is calmed.
