Chapter 154 What was the truth back then?
Finally, the Fu Group successfully acquired the land in Jiangcheng New District. The stock price of the Lu Group kept falling, and there seemed to be signs of short selling, so it had to be suspended urgently. Lu Jiancheng woke up from a coma and was extremely sad to hear the news.
As the condition worsened, I had to rush to have surgery.
The day before the operation, Lu Jiancheng dressed up and made an appointment to meet Fu Derong. This was the first time they met in sixteen years.
The private club was exceptionally quiet; the two of them were like long-lost friends, yet neither of them spoke a word.
The aroma of tea rose in the air, and Lu Jiancheng was the first to speak, "Brother Derong, it's been more than ten years since we last met."
Fu Derong picked up the tea cover and gently swept the green tea in the water, "Yes, we are old now, how is your health?"
"I'm going to have surgery tomorrow. It's in the early stages, so it's nothing serious." Lu Jiancheng did not hide anything.
He continued, "Lu Yin was reckless, please bear with me. What happened back then had nothing to do with Cang Ming." He paused for a moment, as if he wanted to say something.
"I have not interfered in the affairs of the group for a long time. I have seen the latest news. It has nothing to do with the Fu family." Fu Derong said with certainty.
.......
That day, Fu Nanchen brought Jian Xiaoan back to the suburban villa. Today was the Fu family's annual family dinner, and the villa was extremely lively.
In Fu Derong's study, Fu Cangsheng was talking to the old man.
"Father, can Fu Qiang return to the group to work again? His work ability is obvious to all. Can Nanchen really not tolerate him?" Fu Cangsheng could hardly hide his anger.
Fu Derong frowned, "Corruption is a serious matter. Nanchen has always been intolerant of any injustice. I advise him not to bring trouble upon himself."
"Father!" Fu Cangsheng wanted to say something, "Does he have the final say in the group? His mother had a child before marriage, and when she returned to the Fu family, the child was already born. Who knows whose child it is!"
"Asshole!" Fu Derong poked his cane hard, "How dare you say such a thing."
"Father......"
"Get out!" Fu Derong's forehead was bulging with blue veins, and his eyes were bloodshot...
Many people questioned Fu Nanchen's background back then, but Fu Cangming insisted that he was his child, and only then did the others shut up. Over the years, the people of the Fu family have never stopped questioning.
As soon as Fu Cangsheng opened the door, he met Fu Nanchen's gaze. He glanced at him and left angrily.
"Grandpa, what's wrong?" Fu Nanchen originally wanted to see Fu Derong for something, but he didn't expect to hear a quarrel in the study.
The muscles on Fu Derong's face trembled slightly, and even his breathing began to quicken. "It's okay."
"Is it because of Fu Qiang?" Fu Nanchen closed the door.
"You are doing the right thing." Fu Derong affirmed, "A thousand-mile dam is destroyed by an ant hole. Also, let me ask, were you involved in the Lu family's affairs?"
Fu Nanchen's mouth tightened, "I'm just fighting back"
As he was speaking, Fu Cangming knocked on the door and came in. There was silence in the study for a few seconds.
Fu Nanchen looked at Fu Cangming, "Father, why did mother give birth prematurely? I remember that she was fine when she went out that afternoon, but she was not well when she came back. What happened during this period?"
"Is this true?" Fu Derong looked at Fu Cangming in confusion.
"I rushed back only because I received a call from the servant. Nanchen, what else do you know?" Fu Cangming was puzzled. Nan Suyu didn't say a word before she died.
"I saw my mother walking in, leaning against the wall. Her face was pale and the bag in her hand was torn open. If Lu Yin was responsible, I will let the entire Lu family be buried with her."
Fu Nanchen hasn't been like this for a long time. The black eyes under his thick eyebrows are vicious, and the depths of his eyes are full of aggression. The scar on his brow bone seems like a sharp blade.
For him, his mother is a pain that no one can touch.
The wind outside the window made the leaves rustle, but there was a chill in the air.
.......
Outside the courtyard, Jian Xiaoan was playing with Fu Nanfeng, while Shu Qianhui was weaving a wreath beside them. "Xiaoan, come here, I'll put it on you."
She waved to Jian Xiaoan as if she was doting on a child.
Fu Nanfeng pulled Jian Xiaoan over and ran over, "Hurry, sister-in-law, mom is making a wreath."
Shu Qianhui put it on her and said, "Xiao An, cherish the life you have now."
She knew that Jian Xiaoan was depressed because of her search for her biological parents.
"Your biological parents will be found. They will definitely feel relieved when they see that you are living a happy life now." Shu Qianhui's voice was gentle, like a summer breeze, blowing warmly into Jian Xiaoan's heart.
Jian Xiaoan nodded, her eyebrows curved, "Thank you, little mother."
"I'll take you back to the villa when I go to the city some other day. It will be your and Nanchen's home from now on. Tell your stepmother if you need anything. I'll give you everything I can." Shu Qianhui doted on her in every way.
"Mom, please give me a villa when I get married." Fu Nanfeng hugged Jian Xiaoan's legs and refused to let go. "I like my sister-in-law."
Just after he finished speaking, he suddenly let go of his hands, "Shh."
It turned out to be Fu Nanchen who came over. He was tall and strong, and his handsome face revealed determination.
"Hello, big brother." Fu Nanfeng nodded respectfully, holding Shu Qianhui's hand and wanted to leave.
After they left, Jian Xiaoan held up the wreath and looked up at him, "What's wrong with you? You don't seem happy."
Fu Nanchen pinched her chin and kissed the corner of her mouth, "It's okay."
"Don't want to tell me?"
Fu Nanchen put his slender arms around her and forced her to look up. "No, don't worry. I'll take you riding a horse another day."
"Really? I've long wanted to see the little white horse grandma gave me." Jian Xiaoan put her arms around his neck, raised her toes slightly, and gently stroked his Adam's apple with her lips.
Fu Nanchen used his big hand to press her tightly against his chest, "You seduced me."
Jian Xiaoan: ".......I didn't."
Her voice was soft and sticky, drilling into his eardrums, and the vague refusal made his throat tighten, "You have it."
I kissed his Adam's apple, but he still said no!
She didn't do anything, but he couldn't help himself.
At this moment, a pair of eyes were staring at this place from behind the gate of the villa. It was Rona.
"What a vixen. I don't know why Brother Nanchen likes her?"
She recalled her childhood when she vowed to marry Fu Nanchen when she grew up. She remembered that he neither refused nor agreed.
"What are you looking at, Nana?" Fu Qiang followed her line of sight from behind and asked, "Do you want to fall in love?"
Luo Na turned her head and glared at him, "What do you think Brother Nanchen likes about her? If I had known that I would return to China last year, I could have married Brother Nanchen."
"Oh? You like him?" Fu Qiang raised his lips. "If you like him, go after him. They haven't gotten married yet."
"Is it true? Why?" Rona asked in a low voice.
"You know about the wealthy families. They always have to give birth to a child before they can get the marriage certificate. Otherwise, why would they keep delaying something that can be done in a few minutes?" Fu Qiang's eyes showed evil. He pushed Rona and said, "You still have a chance."
Rona raised the corner of her lips and her eyes stayed on the two of them again...
She still has a chance!
Inside the villa, everyone was preparing for the family dinner in the evening. Servants were shuttling back and forth in the kitchen, and the aroma of delicious food filled the air.
Outside the courtyard, the wind blew up Jian Xiaoan's skirt, which was held down by Fu Nanchen's hand. He looked at the woman in front of him, and his heart felt warm...
