Chapter 1867
In all things, there is always a day when the truth comes out.
We showered and changed our clothes, and went out again to look for Fu Changheng.
The living room was a bit cold and there was no sign of Fu Changheng.
I grabbed a servant and asked, “Where is your master?”
The servant bowed his head respectfully, “Master has already gone to bed.”
Fu Shenyan raised his eyes and glanced upstairs, although it had been many years since Fu Changheng had moved out of the old mansion and he had not been to this house many times, he remembered very clearly where Fu Changheng’s room was.
We went upstairs and walked outside Fu Changheng’s room, Fu Shenyan raised his hand and knocked on the door, “Second Uncle?”
The corridor was silent and there was no response.
As if he had expected it, Fu Shen Yan hooked his lips in self-deprecation, but his eyes were cold as he led me downstairs again to the living room to wait.
Only after a long time did Fu Changheng slowly come downstairs together with Xu Hui.
“Did you guys just call me?” Fu Changheng looked as if he had just woken up, “That’s how it is when you’re older, you sleep a lot, if the maid hadn’t mentioned it, I would have thought it was a dream.”
“If second uncle is sleepy, just rest early.” Fu Shen Yan raised his lips indifferently, but his eyes fell on Xu Hui, who was not looking very well, with a smile.
He had already waited for twenty years, was he still afraid of this one night for ten hours or so.
Fu Changheng seemed to be weak in heart himself and forced a smile, “No matter, there is plenty of time.”
“Second uncle still need to pay more attention to health, my parents died early, after I stabilize my career in the capital, I still need to come back to pay respect to the two elders in the future.”
Fu Changheng’s face frowned and before he could say anything, it was Xu Hui who picked up the conversation, “You were raised by the old man, we didn’t do anything, just be more attentive to your own little family, you don’t need to remember us all the time.”
I remember very clearly that Xu Hui was very resistant to Fu Shenyan at first, and even said in public that Fu Shenyan was a “poorly bred wolf with white eyes”, and after my relationship with Fu Shenyan had warmed up, we only got along in a lukewarm manner, and rarely said these heartfelt words.
This couple, both of them, are too perverse.
“Second Aunt is right, but I think it’s better to get you guys to the capital, it’s better to take care of you in front of the eyes, after all, our Fu family, there are only these few relatives left.” Fu Shen Yan leaned on the back of the sofa, his long fingers tapping rhythmically.
“This your second aunt and I have also considered, but we have lived most of our lives in Jiangcheng, really not willing to go outside to toss ……”
When all was said and done, Fu Changheng and Xu Hui were not willing to live with Fu Shenyan, no matter what Fu Shenyan said, they could always find a reason to excuse themselves.
I have been observing Xu Hui and noticed that she suddenly became very polite, and when she and Fu Shen Yan looked at each other, her eyes intentionally looked my way, and when she noticed my gaze, she pulled the corners of her mouth to cover up her embarrassment.
After Fu Changheng refused the request to go to the capital for the third time, Fu Shenyan paused for a while, and the atmosphere in the whole hall was tense before he opened his mouth again, “Second uncle, I will go to Jiangcheng this time, because I want to ask you one thing.”
Fu Changheng’s hand holding the cup of tea gave a beat, a trace of panic flashed under his eyes, and only after a moment did he ask again as if nothing was wrong, “What is it?”
Fu Shen Yan took out the picture of Fu Chang Heng that he had secretly taken from his pocket and threw it directly onto the coffee table in the middle of the sofa.
Fu Changheng lowered his eyes to the photo, and with just one glance, his face sank.
Xu Hui did not notice the change of the people around her, some impatience reached out to pick up the photo, put it in her hand to look at it carefully, after a moment, her face brushed white, revealing a panic look, open mouth stammering, “This …… Impossible, how did you ……”
Chapter 1868
Fu Shen Yan coldly looked at Xu Hui’s helpless performance, his tone finally unconcealed mixed with ruthlessness, “Second aunt, second uncle, which one of you will tell me, who is this man in the photo? Everyone knows that the owner of that face is dead, but now he is alive and well in M. Why is that?”
That last sentence changed a few tones, Fu Shen Yan had absolutely no intention of continuing to conceal his emotions.
Even I could see that when Fu Changheng saw the picture of Fu Changheng, there was no surprise in his eyes, which meant that Fu Shenyan had guessed correctly that he knew about the matter of Fu Changheng being alive.
The first time I said that Fu Changheng was still good to him, but from the bottom of my heart, I was sometimes good and sometimes bad distant, slowly, Fu Shenyan lost his sense of security about this affection, and no longer dwell on how much is true.
It was not until he took over Fu’s business and became a calculating businessman that he came to understand that there is no one in this world that can be trusted.
Fu Shenyin had always blamed the invisible gap between himself and Fu Changheng on the bad nature of people, but had forgotten the simplest possibility that perhaps they were not family in the first place.
What was unexplainable now, then, was that paternity test.
“Second Uncle, am I really your real nephew?” Fu Shen Yan’s voice was another degree colder.
Identities could be changed, death certificates could be forged, what was a paternity test worth to Fu Changheng.
Fu Changheng took a fierce breath to calm down, but his voice breathed a very faint wariness, “What is the truth, in fact you have already guessed it, so why bother to ask me …… Yes, it is true that we are not related by blood, you, are not a descendant of the Fu family, but over the years, the Fu family has never treated you as an outsider.”
Fu Shen Yan only sneered, his eyes narrowed in a smirk, but did not answer, and an unnerving aura came naturally.
Fu Changheng knew that his words were not convincing and let out a long breath before continuing, “Changheng, your father, was actually just your grandfather’s adopted son, he was born to be a businessman, and remembered the kindness of your grandfather’s upbringing, and was always very progressive. Your father was such a dazzling man that he naturally found favour with your mother, and both families acquiesced to the marriage, except that your father was not very interested in these matters, so your grandfather took the initiative and set a date for the marriage.”
“Your grandfather was a soldier and didn’t know how to do business, but Fu’s business was flourishing in your father’s hands. For the sake of the family and to give an account to your late grandfather, your grandfather did the only wrong thing in his life, he secretly suppressed the matter and sent your father abroad to avoid the people who came to his door. The results of the paternity test, naturally, were not as good as the other party had expected, and the matter of recognizing the relatives came to an end.”
The results of the paternity test, naturally, were not what the other party expected, and the matter of recognizing the relatives fell through.” Fu Shen Yan’s expression heaved, “Then what?”
What he wanted to know was just why Fu Changheng was so disgusted with himself.
Fu Changheng was originally immersed in the past, his eyes suddenly brightened up at the sound of his words, he stood up impatiently and looked at us from above, “That’s all I have to say, the Fu family does owe that man, but not you, tell him that the Fu family raised his son for him, everything is paid off.”
