671 Fu Huai’an Would Definitely Be Around!

Fu Qingquan knew that Fu Huai’an would definitely be around on a day like this!

Although he was unwilling to bow to Fu Huai’an so directly, Fu Qingquan could speak to Fu Huai’an with the air of his senior on such an occasion and ask Fu Huai’an to stand out and clarify that he didn’t intend to leave the Kaide Corporation.

Regarding the allocation of the Kaide Corporation’s shares, Fu Qingquan had new plans in his heart.

After all this trouble, Fu Qingquan finally understood that Fu Tianci indeed didn’t wish to take over the Kaide Corporation, and also, the Kaide Corporation couldn’t do without Fu Huai’an.

Out of fatherly love, Fu Qingquan could only ensure that the largest share ended up in Fu Tianci’s hands while allowing Fu Huai’an to manage the Kaide Corporation. Only with Fu Huai’an in charge would the Kaide Corporation’s prosperity be ensured!

Fu Qingquan looked up and said to Lu Qingmei, “Go back first. I’ll be there for a while and leave shortly!”

Lu Qingmei clutched her bag handle, and her brows furrowed as she said with sincerity in her eyes, “Qingquan, I understand the fact that you miss your daughter, but I also worry about your health. How about I accompany you? I won’t go in, I’ll just wait for you outside in the car. You’re in poor health to begin with, and on a day like this, I fear that should you get into a quarrel with the old lady at the family mansion, there won’t be anyone around to take care of you!”

Seeing Fu Qingquan hesitate, Fu Cheng gave the matter some thought before speaking in Fu Qingquan’s ear in a soft voice, “Aunt Lu is right, why don’t we let Aunt Lu wait outside?”

Lu Qingmei looked at Fu Cheng with surprise, for she hadn’t expected that Fu Cheng would agree to her going along with them…

Actually, Fu Cheng merely wanted to help fulfill Fu Qingquan’s wish and wasn’t going to help Fu Qingquan and Old Madam Fu reconcile as Lu Qingmei had suspected.

“I’ll be with the chairman, so don’t fear that there won’t be anyone around the chairman to take care of him!” Secretary Song laughed. “On the other hand, I feel like on a day like this, if Madam comes along and Old Madam finds out about it and makes a fuss of it, there’ll be too many people at the family mansion, and it won’t be a pretty scene! Chairman, what do you think?”

The last time Lu Qingmei suggested she come and help Fu Qingquan share his burden at the Kaide Corporation, Secretary Song had stood on her side and helped persuade Fu Qingquan. Therefore, Lu Qingmei had thought that Secretary Song was a smart fellow who knew how to act according to the present situation… She thought that he must have realized that Fu Tianci would come to inherit the Kaide Corporation in the future and was sucking up to them, mother and son, in advance!

Who knew that now, Secretary Song would be here opposing her!

Lu Qingmei was fuming inside…

She smiled and said, “I’ll just wait in the car and not enter. If Qingquan, Fu Cheng… and Secretary Song don’t tell anyone, who’s going to find out?”

Secretary Song merely smiled and said nothing.

Secretary Song knew what Lu Qingmei was calculating in her heart. All these years, he was by Fu Qingquan’s side and had plenty of chances to interact with Lu Qingmei, so Secretary Song, more or less, had some understanding of this woman!

Lu Qingmei was a rather ambitious woman.

Secretary Song could tell from the last time Lu Qingmei persuaded Fu Qingquan to hand her more power.

Secretary Song was clear that if the Kaide Corporation was handed to Fu Tianci too early, it was as good as giving it to Lu Qingmei.

The only reason Secretary Song was willing to help speak up for Lu Qingmei before Fu Qingquan was because he couldn’t bear to see Fu Qingquan destroy his health completely due to company matters. If that happened, the fruit of Fu Qingquan’s lifetime of labor would either be snatched away by Lu Qingmei or ruined in her hands.

Fu Qingquan carefully thought over Secretary Song’s words. If Old Madam Fu found out that Lu Qingmei went there as well, Fu Qingquan was afraid he might not have time to speak with Fu Huai’an. Unwilling for complications to possibly arise, Fu Qingquan said to Lu Qingmei, “Forget it, Qingmei, you should go back first! If you have time, use it to discipline Tianci that kid. He’s so ridiculously spoiled now!”

After he finished speaking, Fu Qingquan walked towards the elevator with his grandson and granddaughter’s hands in his.

“Then, Madam, we’ll get going first!” Secretary Song nodded calmly at Lu Qingmei, like his usual self, before walking around Lu Qingmei and following Fu Qingquan into the elevator.

“Aunt Lu, we’ll get going first. Go back early yourself!” Fu Cheng gave a slight smile.

Lu Qingmei held back the frustration in her heart as she smiled and nodded. “Take good care of your father!”

“Alright…”

The minute the elevator door closed, Lu Qingmei’s smiley face dimmed.

Lu Qingmei thought to herself that she ought to find a chance to have a proper conversation with Secretary Song. She wondered if Secretary Song suddenly changed his stand because Lu Qingmei didn’t give him any benefits after he helped her out the last time around.

…

At the Fu family mansion.

Su Manman had arrived early on with her grandpa and grandma. It turned out that among the grandchildren, she was the first to have arrived—even her biological brother wasn’t there yet!

Tuan Tuan was asleep upstairs, and she had no choice but to stay by herself, drinking a beverage as she sat around in the backyard that exuded an antique beauty, absolutely bored.

Inside the family mansion, several old men and old ladies were talking. The conversation went about the same as every other year… reminiscing about how adorable and smart Fu Wan was when she was little.

Su Manman felt nothing about this aunt Fu Wan that she had never met. She only came because her grandpa and grandma insisted. Also, she knew that Fu Huai’an and Lin Nuan would be coming as well, and with Lin Nuan around, she wouldn’t be so bored.

Actually, Su Manman understood the reason her biological older brother and cousins didn’t come. It was because Fu Cheng was back in the country now, and since it was Fu Wan’s birthday… Fu Cheng would definitely be here!

Although Fu Cheng was considered one level higher in terms of seniority compared to Su Manman and her cousins, because their ages were similar, all of them played together when they were little.

All these years, which of Su Manman’s cousins or her older brother hadn’t suffered a disadvantage before Fu Cheng?

Fu Cheng grew up and disguised himself quite well, but all of these rich kids had seen Fu Cheng’s true colors when they were little. Therefore, they were unwilling to associate themselves with him.

The Fus’ children, apart from Fu Huai’an, who was unwilling to stay in touch with that group of cousins after he returned to the Fus’ house, were an especially tight-knit bunch. So long as more than three people in the group didn’t like Fu Cheng and were unwilling to speak with him, the rest would naturally stay away from him. After all, Fu Cheng was, strictly speaking, considered their elder…

As time went by, all of them refused to play together with Fu Cheng, and their relationship grew more and more distant.

Before Fu Huai’an was asked to return to the Fus’ house, Su Manman’s older brother had once said that, based on Fu Cheng’s character, after Old Master Fu and Old Madam Fu passed away, he would certainly not keep in contact with the rest of the Fu family! Fu Cheng could even possibly change his surname!

At that time, Su Manman was little, but she trusted her older brother a lot. If her older brother said that Fu Cheng was a bad person, then she didn’t like him either. However, it wasn’t to the extent of bullying him.

That kind of dislike was a disdain from the bottom of her heart. Su Manman had never bothered to conceal her contempt for Fu Cheng either.

…

Housekeeper Ye stood by the fountain, glancing at his wristwatch from time to time as he gazed out of the family mansion into the long, cemented road outside.

In the distance, Housekeeper Ye saw car headlights, so he hurriedly asked the servant by his side to ask the door guard if it was Fu Huai’an who had returned.
