Damon leaned back, his posture exuding an air of superiority. Even though Wan Yue sat across from him, she felt his condescending, gaze,
Before Damon could speak, Jiang Shengring slammed the table.
“Do you know what you’re saying?Insubordination! A woman claiming to be independent of men? You’re rebelling!”
He stood and strode towards Wan Yue Sean bit her lip, suppressing a laugh.Zhou Zhou put down
er spoon, watching Jiang Shengting
He reached for Wan Yue’s collar.
“What are you doing?”
Fu Lingyue’s voice cut through the tension.
“Grandpa!”
Zhou Zhou stood on her chair, firmly grasping Jiang Shengting’s hand.The atmosphere was charged.
A tall, imposing bodyguard wheeled Fu Lingyue into the room.He commanded the space with an aura of quiet power. He wore a black turtleneck, his tailored trousers accentuating his long legs.” Sean held her breath at the sight of him. She’d last seen him ten years ago.Even then, he was strikingly handsome.As children, while they played with LEGOs, Fu Lingyue studied celestial mechanics.
Sean remembered a summer vacation at the main Fu residence. Damon took them to the creek.Returning, they passed Fu Lingyue standing before a blackboard covered in equations, surrounded by elders debating with him.
“What are they doing?” young Sean asked.Fu Lingyue was so handsome; she wanted to play with Him.
“Those are Uncle’s students,” Fu Nianxi
The memory resurfaced.
Damon immediately rose, bowing respectfully. “Uncle.”
explained.“Uncle is different.”
Jiang Shengting was stunned.“Professor Fu!!“He hadn’t expected to see him. Professor Fu, long time no see!“He attempted to ingratiate himself.
Fu Lingyue’s gaze fixed on Jiang Shengting. What were you trying to do?”
Jiang Shengting forced a smile. “Wan Yue’s being unreasonable. I was going to discipline her.My apologies.”
Fu Lingyue’s gaze was piercing.He didn’t have Damon’s coldness, but his presence was unnerving.
“Laying hands on your own daughter?You’re unfit to be a father.”
The words struck Jiang Shengting speechless.
“Wan Yue… she refused to attend the summit with Damon.He gave her such a good opportunity…” his voice trailed off under Fu Lingyue’s gaze.
“She’s twenty–seven!And you yell at and hit your
daughter?Disgraceful.*

Jiang Shengting’s face flushed.
I forbid you from yelling at or hitting her, understand?”
The weight of Fu Lingyue’s presence was overwhelming.Jiang Shengting felt like a cornered animal.
Jiang Shengting tried to speak, but Fu Lingyue continued, his voice calm yet commanding, Just say you understand!”
Jiang Shengting, struggling for air, obeyed.
Understood.”
Fu Lingyue turned his attention to the gift box and the Fu Corporation bag on the table.
“What’s this?”
Damon replied,“Fu Corporation’s offer for Wan Yue.”
Fu Lingyue nodded to his assistant, who retrieved the bag and showed him the contract.
Fu Lingyue scanned the contract, his gaze locking onto Damon, sending a chill down his spine.Everyone held their breath.Zhou Zhou and Timmy, witnessing this, were awestruck.
“A personal assistant contract?”
The air crackled with tension.
“Damon,” Fu Lingyue said softly. Damon approached him.Fu Lingyue handed him the contract.
Damon respectfully took it.
“Wan Yue invited me to dinner.This contract is insulting.Damon, are you three years old?”
Damon was speechless before his uncle, the bedrock of Fu Corporation’s power.Even Damon’s father treated his younger brother with utmost respect.
Damon whispered, “I thought, given Wan Yue’s capabilities, a personal assistant position would be more suitable…”
“Her capabilities are not for you to judge.”
Damon felt a surge of anger.
“Stop playing these childish games, understand?”
Damon’s lips tightened. Timmy hid behind Sean, terrified.Sean also felt chill.
“I…” Damon tried to speak.

“Just say you understand, Fu Lingyue said, like he was teaching a child.
Damon said, “Understood.”
Fu Lingyue scanned the room, then returned his gaze to Damon.
“You

called them here?“His perceptive eyes saw through Damon’s intentions. you think Wan Yue can eat dinner with them here?” he asked softly, his words like blows.. “You invited a bunch of irrelevant people to a dinner meeting.Is this how a Fu Corporation leader behaves? Fu Lingyue concluded, “It seems your father failed to raise you properly.”
