256: Damn, I didn’t recognize him
When he came in, Fu Fengzhao noticed that many people were missing from the house.
Not only were there fewer servants, but not a single family member was seen.
He looked at Xia Yuechu and asked, "Where is Grandpa?"
When hearing this question, everyone present looked unnatural.
It was Xia Yuechu who explained it to him, with a worried look on her face and a pretentious expression.
"Zhao Zhao, you don't know how far away you are from home. Your grandfather hasn't been back for nearly three months now. He lives across from the Xiao family and has lost everything."
The inside is the rules, and big families have many rules.
As the head of the Fu family, he rushed to find someone for the sake of face.
"Let's not talk about the rules of our Fu family. After all, we can't control your grandfather. But the Xiao family has a lot of rules too. This is so rude. I don't know what the Xiao family thinks of us."
Fu Fengzhao's return gave them hope.
In order to get him to persuade the old man to come back, they said a lot.
"We went there several times, but he became more and more impatient with us. It was like he had become a completely different person. During the holidays, we went to look for him, but he wouldn't even let us see him. He didn't even care about the rules he had set in the past."
"Yes, Zhaozhao, don't you think this is outrageous? Not to mention that he spent a lot of money to buy a piece of land outside Beijing and built an orchard. After all, it's his own money, he can spend it however he wants. But now the grapes in his orchard are ripe, and he's selling them for 300,000 yuan a bunch. Don't you think this is ridiculous?"
When they were trying to please Fu Fengzhao, they could hardly hide their complaints in their words.
Finally, she cast her expectant gaze towards him, "Zhao Zhao, your grandfather likes you. Go and persuade him on our behalf. New Year's Day is almost here. Even if he likes other people's children very much, he should come back for New Year's Day and Chinese New Year. Otherwise, our Fu family will be laughed at."
The main reason was that they were being laughed at. No one dared to laugh at Mr. Fu, and there was no reason to laugh at him.
It’s Chinese New Year, but my dad doesn’t come back and goes to someone else’s house to celebrate the New Year.
The elders in the clan would not be able to stop talking to Grandpa Fu. They would definitely find a way to criticize these younger generations and blame them for being unfilial.
So the closer it gets to the New Year, the more anxious they become.
Look, Fu Fengzhao's return is like timely help. Xia Yuechu feels that she has never liked the children of the fourth room so much.
But it was precisely because of the tendency to make mistakes when talking too much that Fu Fengzhao realized her true thoughts.
Sure enough, he knew that his aunt was not such a filial person.
The person he wanted to see was not here, so Fu Fengzhao got up and left.
Fu Wanwan, who had been standing silently at the back, called out to him, "Second brother."
After the other person stopped, she walked up to him quickly, but thinking of his mysophobia and cold personality, she sensibly kept a distance.
Fu Wanwan clasped her hands together and pleaded with him, "Second brother, please ask grandpa to stop selling those grapes. Please persuade him. It's too dangerous, really."
Fu Fengzhao didn't respond. He withdrew his gaze and passed Fu Wanwan and left.
"I'll go and see first."
He didn't believe what the eldest wife said just now, and just took it as an understanding of the general background.
A lot seemed to have happened during the time he was away.
It's amazing that a stubborn and obstinate old man can be changed in just a few months.
What’s even more amazing is that no one told him.
He knows nothing.
...
Mr. Fu was at home reconciling accounts with the people sent by the Xiao family.
Now that the business is growing, Xiao Qingdai has selected a few people and taken over all the management work. It seems that she wants to form a team on her own.
After all, it’s okay if there are only one or two people, but when there are more people in the future, we naturally can’t trouble the old man anymore.
At this time, the housekeeper came over, his face flushed and his eyes filled with joy.
The old man looked at him strangely, as if this man had taken too many supplements.
The butler just stood there, looking at him with excited eyes, without saying a word.
Feeling a little strange, Mr. Fu raised his head and said, "What's wrong with you? If you've taken too many supplements, just follow that little fox's example and run a few laps in the yard to relieve your heat."
The butler shook his head and said no, then fell silent and continued to look at him with burning eyes.
Mr. Fu, who was waiting for his next words: "..."
Inexplicable.
He paid no more attention to the butler and continued talking to the people at the table.
Before he knew it, a shadow came over him, covering the account book in his hand.
The elderly have poor eyesight, and this light blocking is enough to drive them crazy.
He raised his head and looked in the direction that was blocking his light, frowning.
"Who is so tactless?"
What caught my eye was a very familiar face, dignified and handsome, with three-dimensional features and clear outlines. His temperament was cold and noble, with a bit of alienation and unkindness.
When he saw this face, the old man narrowed his eyes subconsciously. His first reaction was that it looked very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
But even if he looks familiar, it doesn’t matter, he is busy with serious work!
"Young man, you're blocking the light. Move aside." The voice was unpleasant.
The man became visibly stiff, pursed his lips, bent down and moved his face closer, and spoke in a low voice with a clear and elegant tone.
"Grandpa, take another good look at me."
Hearing this name, Mr. Fu was stunned, and then looked at the man in disbelief.
Wait, this person... is his suspicious, sensitive and vengeful grandson!
And he didn't seem to recognize it just now?
The crematorium opened.
Mr. Fu was extremely embarrassed. The meeting between the grandfather and grandson should have been a warm and joyful scene, but because he was short-sighted and failed to recognize him, it turned into a terrifying horror movie.
"Zhao Zhao, you're back. Why didn't you say hello to grandpa in advance?"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but glare at the butler standing next to him.
The butler who had been smiling just now could no longer smile.
I originally wanted to give the old man a surprise, but I didn’t expect that he didn’t recognize me. If I had known, I wouldn’t have done those nonsense things and just told him directly.
Fu Fengzhao seems cold and heartless, but in fact he is a very vengeful person. He is also very sensitive inside and has been good at guessing other people's intentions since he was young.
This was first evident when he was seven or eight years old and always won when playing rock-paper-scissors with other children.
At that time, the old man saw that he kept winning, became interested, and asked him what his secret was.
But the kid shook his head and said there was no trick.
He would guess each opponent's thoughts based on their personality and expression, and give misleading information from time to time to determine what they were going to do, and then choose the one that could restrain them.
At such a young age, he has developed a lot of cleverness in playing the game of rock-paper-scissors.
Old Master Fu couldn't bear to think that if he didn't recognize him just now, he would never remember him again.
