Chapter 1626: Chapter 1318: For Her_3

The words had not been finished when he paused.

He raised an eyebrow and asked, "What did President Shi want to say?"

Shi Yuanbo shook his head, "Nothing, nothing at all... I just didn’t expect your tastes to be so mild. But anyway, since the dishes are already here, we haven’t seen each other for a long time, let’s have a drink!"

Shi Yuanbo stood up, took two glasses, and personally poured wine for Yu Dou.

Yu Dou could see that Shi Yuanbo wanted to win him over. Indeed, the Shi Family took over most of the Xu Family’s business, but Shi Yuanbo’s capabilities were limited, unable to fully digest it, leading to more and more internal issues within the Shi Family.

If he doesn’t find someone to help him, the Shi Family might become another Xu Family.

But Yu Dou didn’t care about this. Just as Shi Yuanbo was pouring the wine, he casually said, "Actually, what President Shi wanted to say earlier is that my taste is very similar to your late wife—Xu Hua, right?"

The motion of Shi Yuanbo pouring the wine paused, and he looked at Yu Dou in disbelief: "You knew my wife?"

Yu Dou smiled: "President Shi, there’s no need to be surprised. Didn’t you know that your wife has always been involved in charity, especially in helping impoverished students? How should I put it, your wife sponsored me through three years of middle school and three years of high school. She was my benefactor, and I always remember my benefactors. I privately inquired about Mrs. Shi’s preferences, so naturally, I know a little about her taste..."

Hearing this, Shi Yuanbo frowned even more deeply: "You... You were one of the students my wife sponsored? Then why did you help me overthrow the Xu Family and make me take over the Xu Family’s business? Don’t you know that’s repaying kindness with enmity..."

"Me, repaying kindness with enmity?" Yu Dou laughed and said, "If I’m repaying kindness with enmity, then what about you, President Shi? Didn’t you start the Shi Family business with Old Sir Xu’s help? Without Old Sir Xu, without your wife Xu Hua, could President Shi have what he has today? But didn’t you agree to my plan back then? After your wife, Lady Xu, passed away, didn’t you remarry my cousin at the fastest speed? Compared to President Shi, what do my actions amount to?!"

Shi Yuanbo bit his lip, unable to speak for a moment.

After a while, he finally asked, "Then why did you invite me here today... what exactly is it for?"

"For your wife, Xu Hua!"

"For my wife?"

"Yes, has President Shi never doubted the cause of your wife Hua’s death? Or, does President Shi know some inside information?"

Shi Yuanbo was stunned, then sneered: "It seems you care quite a bit about my wife, but as far as I know, there are hundreds if not thousands of impoverished students supported by my wife. You are just one among them, and I’m certainly not obligated to tell you, an outsider, about these matters!"

Yu Dou, however, displayed a calm demeanor as he said, "Indeed, it has nothing to do with me, but I generally don’t like to owe people. Since Xu Hua was kind to me, I have to repay the kindness... naturally, I also know that the reason President Shi is here today is hoping that I join the Shi Family to help you. I can agree to President Shi’s request, as long as you tell the truth, I can go to the Shi Family as a professional manager and not take a cent of the Shi Family’s shares... How does President Shi find this condition?"

Shi Yuanbo certainly trusted Yu Dou’s ability.

The Shi Family is almost on the brink of collapse now. If no one steps in to help, Shi Yuanbo truly doesn’t know how to maintain it.

He very much needs Yu Dou’s help, no, he must have Yu Dou’s help!

Taking a deep breath, Shi Yuanbo asked, "Alright... I can tell you, but you must also tell me, why? Why would you be willing to do this for my wife?"

Yu Dou’s thin lips moved slightly before he said, "Because Xu Hua, in my heart, is not just my benefactor!"

Shi Yuanbo furrowed his brows: "Is there something else?"

Yu Dou smiled: "I believe President Shi wouldn’t want me to say the answer!"

Shi Yuanbo was again taken aback.

But the thoughts between men are understood without words, and Yu Dou had already brought the conversation to this point, so Shi Yuanbo roughly got the idea.

He was very angry, really angry, just a man coveting his wife.

But at this moment, he couldn’t do anything to Yu Dou, he needed Yu Dou, the Shi Family needed Yu Dou!

He had to endure it!

He looked at Yu Dou, took a deep breath, and said, "You want to know how my wife died, right? Fine, I will tell you!"
