The CEO's Woman Chapter 203 Tough Cookie

Chapter 203 Tough Cookie

"I'm sorry... what did you say?" Fu Jin asked as he walked towards Jiang Yue. He then stared at her laptop.

His expression turned solemn. "She was born as a male?!"

It was not a question, more of a statement. A fact. Something that needed to be acknowledged.

"It seems that my instinct was right again. If my guess is right then only her mother is aware of her gender." Jiang Yue said.

"If I remember correctly, my uncle wanted to have a son and a daughter. My father said, that he was pressuring his wife to give birth to a daughter."

"Daughter? Why would he like to have a daughter and not a son? I mean most families want a son." Jiang Yue inquired as she took a seat and put the laptop on her lap. She still needed to do a lot of research.

"I have no idea. I guess we need to inform my father. I believe the mother and daughter pair were laying a trap for me and my father." Fu Jin said.

"No. I think someone is tipping Fu Xiaolan off about our meetings and decisions." Jiang Yue disagreed. "If I were Fu Xiaolan, I would have installed something in your father's meeting room, to hear everything they speak."

Fu Jin nodded in response to Jiang Yue's words. "Do you think her mother knows this? Or maybe she is the one responsible, so she could cater to her husband's request?"

"Yes, that could be the only explanation. Now, I believe, they wanted to create chaos to divert our attention towards there true goal." Jiang Yue said.

"And that is?"

"To make Fu Xiaolan lead the Fu Family." Jang Yue answered. "Since your uncle always wanted a daughter, Zhang Liyin was forced to lie to everyone about her second son. She told everyone that Fu Xiaolan was already sick when she was born. She wanted everyone to stay away from the child, and take care of her like a delicate flower. However, when she turned twelve, her true gender was getting obvious, so her mother brought her abroad in the pretense of studying."

"Afterward, she had Xiaolan change her gender when she was eighteen?" Fu Jin finished her sentence. "Then why attack your company and even include Minghua?"

"Fu Xiaolan is smart. She has already laid out a trap for us. Previously, she made us believe that the target was me. She wanted me to hear about the pregnancy, so I would focus on helping w.a.n.g Minghua. Then, she attacked my companies, thinking I would lose focus. She even attacked her own brother, to make you the suspect. Now, she is asking for our help. If I am right then it should be another trap."

"Father said the gla.s.s was supposed to be grandfathers." Fu Jin said.

"That's what he saw, but father did not know why Fu Zuoyi would grab grandfathers gla.s.s. What if Fu Xiaolan was involved in Fu Zuoyi's actions? What if Fu Zuoyi knew all of this, and was just a bait?" she speculated. Now, that they knew about Fu Xiaolan's gender, it was actually easier for them to a.s.sume the reason behind her actions. "What if Fu Zuoyi just wanted to gain the approval of grandfather and your father? I mean, have you ever wondered why he did not die from an unknown poison? If it was really aimed for grandfather then it should be enough to kill someone."

"Think about it. If Fu Zuoyi was with them then he already had the public sympathy," she added. "It will be easier for him to challenge you and use this incident to question your morality."

Fu Jin nodded. "I understand. If that's the case, then we need a way to trap them back." Now, they knew who exactly was their enemy, it would be easier to create a strategy against them.

"Yes, we do. Your cousin is one, tough cookie. It took us a while to know she or he was behind all of this." she stated and her gaze begun to darken. She had not forgotten how this woman wanted to separate her and Fu Jin by sending someone to seduce him.

She would collect that debt soon.
