After Bankruptcy, the Billionaire Asked Me to Marry Him!
Chapter 471: The Past and Future Have Nothing to Do with Her

Chapter 471: Chapter 471: The Past and Future Have Nothing to Do with Her

The rising sun shined gently; at the side of the road by the elementary school entrance, Xiao Bao waved to Fu Yanci and Ye Li, then jogged all the way through the school gate.

Upon looking again, Lin Kerou’s figure was nowhere to be seen in the usual spot.

Thinking back to her panic and breakdown that night when she appeared.

And then to her transformation from eagerness to apathy.

Ye Li turned to look at Fu Yanci, "She... won’t do anything, right?"

"What could she do?"

His gaze slightly cold, Fu Yanci squeezed Ye Li’s hand, "Rest assured, she won’t appear in front of Xiao Bao again."

Ye Li nodded.

Thinking about how he hurried back halfway from his business trip, Ye Li asked, "Are you going to continue your business trip?"

"No need..."

Fu Yanci shook his head, "Xiang Yang will stay behind to take care of things. As for Paris..."

With a fleeting trace of regret in his eyes, Fu Yanci turned to look at Ye Li, "There’s still a chance, there’s still time!"

Ye Li’s eyes lit up, "So, for this period in the future, you’ll be in the Imperial City and not traveling again?"

The girl’s mood visibly brightened.

As if, like him, she didn’t like him going on business trips and being away for too long.

Fu Yanci’s mood improved as well, "What’s the matter?"

"Nothing."

Ye Li put on an innocent face, "With you here, I feel more at ease. Otherwise, I always feel like there’s a lot of evil spirits lurking around me in the dark."

Perhaps it was an illusion, or maybe it was because the YL Studio had been receiving so much attention lately, and she was overthinking it.

There were several times when Ye Li felt like she was being followed.

But found nothing.

All in all, as long as Fu Yanci was in the Imperial City, she felt a complete sense of security.

In a good mood, Ye Li gave the command, "Let’s go!"

The Maybach sped away, first heading to Imperial University, then to Fu Group.

Fu Yanci had just entered the office when the secretary knocked and entered, looking apprehensive, "Boss, there’s a Ms. Lin at the first-floor reception desk. She’s been sitting there for an hour. We’ve explained everything at the front desk, but she just won’t leave."

His expression darkened almost instantly, and after a moment of silence, Fu Yanci stood up and walked out.

Behind him, the secretary was puzzled and baffled.

By the time Fu Yanci reached the first floor, exiting the elevator, he immediately saw Lin Kerou sitting in the waiting area.

The reception area on the first floor of the Fu Group always had a lot of people.

After all, it’s a large group corporation, and the Human Resources Department alone arranged numerous interviews, with many believing that arriving early would give them an advantage that others wouldn’t have, so they came early.

Those who successfully got hired became employees, while those who failed the interviews ended up as half-day visitors.

Regardless of whether it was the former or the latter, the front desk always welcomed them with a smile.

Among the crowd of interviewees, Lin Kerou stood out with her elegant attire and cool demeanor.

"If you have something to say, say it here."

As soon as Fu Yanci spoke, the front desk promptly led the interviewees to another reception area.

Lin Kerou snapped back to reality, her expression taken aback.

Clearly, she hadn’t expected that Fu Yanci wouldn’t even grant her a private meeting.

What is he... guarding against?

Her heart skipped a beat as Lin Kerou forcibly composed herself, "I came to talk about Xiao Bao."

"You wanted Xiao Bao’s custody, right? I’m giving it to you!"

Lin Kerou got straight to the point, "Since he doesn’t want me, from now on, I’ll pretend he was never born. I’ll give him back to the Fu Family!"

As if completely heartbroken, Lin Kerou’s eyes reddened as she finished speaking.

Fu Yanci couldn’t help narrowing his eyes, "And you? What do you want?"

"5% of the Fu Group’s shares."

To get to this point, it wasn’t what she wanted.

But she did everything she could.

Lin Kerou looked at Fu Yanci’s unchanged expression, suppressing her wildly beating heart as she spoke, "Fu Mingzhen has 10% of the shares in his name. Although I never had a factual marriage with him, I did give birth to Xiao Bao. Even if it goes to court, even if your Fu Family’s Legal Department is undefeated, you can’t deny that I am his de facto wife."

"According to the law, with Fu Mingzhen deceased, Xiao Bao and I are the primary heirs. We should rightly split the 10% under his name, shouldn’t we?"

"I want what I deserve!"

She has a 3% share promised by Fu Mingzhen’s parents when they implored her to have the child.

If she can get 5% more from Fu Mingzhen’s estate,

Just with 8% of the group’s shares, she could be financially secure for this lifetime and the next.

Although it falls short of her initial plans, since it’s an ungrateful wolf that can’t be tamed, she’s not willing to waste more effort.

"I’ll give you three days to think..."

"No need!"

Lin Kerou had just started speaking when Fu Yanci interrupted her, "I don’t agree!"

???

Before she could catch her breath, she heard Fu Yanci’s firm refusal, leaving Lin Kerou stunned on the spot.

Before she could argue back, Fu Yanci calmly said, "My brother had a lawyer, surname Ma, do you remember?"

Lin Kerou was in a daze.

Fu Yanci continued, "You can contact Lawyer Ma; he’ll give you my brother’s will. The distribution of his assets is clearly written out."

"If you want to relinquish Xiao Bao’s custody, as his uncle and head of the Fu Family, I can discuss it with you personally. But my brother’s part has nothing to do with you."

"Excuse me!"

Ignoring Lin Kerou’s astonished and pale face, Fu Yanci turned and left.

After taking two steps, he looked back at Lin Kerou, "The Fu Group and your company have no related business, so you need not force an encounter like this. If it happens again, even if you wear out a hole in the Fu Group’s lobby, I still won’t show up!"

Whether she heard it or not.

Lin Kerou’s ears buzzed, only the word "will" remaining.

years.

years since Fu Mingzhen passed away.

No one ever mentioned a will in those 7 years, and just as she expressed her desire to give up Xiao Bao’s custody, Fu Yanci told her there is a will?

Who would believe it!!!

Almost stamping her high heels into the marble beneath her, Lin Kerou left the first-floor lobby, almost impatiently dialing Lawyer Ma’s number.

More than half an hour later, Lin Kerou sat in Lawyer Ma’s office, looking at Fu Mingzhen’s will.

Before even seeing the contents, she turned to the last page first.

Upon seeing the date, Lin Kerou’s eyes widened.

The will was made 8 years ago.

At that time, she was in the Imperial City, frequently visiting the Fu Mansion.

Back then, Fu Mingzhen was gentle and courteous, and everyone who saw him greeted him with a smile as "Mr. Fu."

But at that time, he had nothing to do with her.

So, even before Xiao Bao was born, Fu Mingzhen had already made this will.

There was no plan for Xiao Bao in his future.

Let alone for her.

Realizing this reality, Lin Kerou’s nails almost dug into Fu Mingzhen’s flamboyant signature.

Upon seeing the content of the will clearly, no color was left on Lin Kerou’s face.
