Don't come here again after Chapter 123.
"Sister-in-law, it's my friend..."
Fu Shen wanted to speak up for Chu Ze, but was stopped by Old Master Fu.
Old Master Fu looked at his eldest sister-in-law, "Eldest daughter-in-law, I know who's right and who's wrong. As for your friend of the third son, he's already given Aheng so many chances. What more do you want from him? He's the third son's friend, not the third son himself. He can't be bossed around like this!"
Besides, if Ah Heng had tried even a little harder, he wouldn't have missed every single opportunity! And you have the nerve to say he's disloyal and deliberately making things difficult for us? Go away! From now on, you and Ah Heng shouldn't come to this old house so often. Otherwise, your mother and I will get angry every time we see you. We want to live a few more years!
"No, Dad, that's really harsh of you!" Sister-in-law Fu retorted. "What do you mean we'll only be angry for a short while? You were all so happy when Aheng came back!"
And if she hadn't been there to persuade him, Ah Heng wouldn't have come back to see them!
The old man and woman were ungrateful and even told them to come less often in the future.
I'm getting more confused as I get older!
Yes, ever since Grandpa Fu and Grandma Fu refused to help Fu Heng rescue his girlfriend and even had his family lock him up, Fu Heng has started blaming them as well.
The old man and woman were no longer as close as before.
Grandpa Fu and Grandma Fu could also see this.
Old Master Fu: "If you think what I said is unpleasant, why are you still listening here! Do you really want me to call the bodyguards to take you away?"
Upon hearing that the old man was going to call bodyguards, Sister-in-law Fu quickly stood up.
It would be too embarrassing to wait until the bodyguards escorted me out.
As Grandpa Fu watched her turn and leave, he added, "If Aheng doesn't want to come anymore, you don't have to force him to."
When Sister-in-law Fu heard what he said, her expression changed and she paused slightly, but in the end she left without saying anything.
Fu Shen felt very guilty seeing how things had turned out.
"Mom and Dad, you don't really need to do this."
"Why not!" Old Mrs. Fu took Fu Shen's hand and looked at him with heartache, saying, "Third son, you've suffered these past few years. Your father and I have seen what your sister-in-law has done. We didn't stop her because we thought there was still a chance to correct her and Aheng. Now it seems we were wrong!"
Seeing the old lady so sad, Fu Shen felt sad as well.
"Dad, Mom, I also want to apologize to you. I was indeed a bit rash about selling the company this time. I should have discussed it with you first."
“No need to apologize,” Grandma Fu patted his hand. “If you hadn’t been forced into this situation by your sister-in-law, you wouldn’t have done this. Your father and I don’t blame you.”
Grandpa Fu nodded from the side, "This is indeed not your fault, you don't need to feel guilty. However, who gave you the idea to sell the company?"
“It was Chu Ze,” Fu Shen quickly explained, afraid that his parents would blame Chu Ze. “Mom and Dad, he was just trying to help me. I was in a bad mood during that period and I was always drinking. He couldn’t stand it and wanted to help me solve my problems, so he gave me advice. I hope you won’t have a bad opinion of him because of this.”
Grandpa Fu: "No, that won't happen."
Even at the risk of offending them, we must help the third brother. How could they blame Chu Ze?
They would actually feel at ease knowing that the third child has such friends.
"Tang Er, didn't I give you any advice?"
“He also gave me advice,” Fu Shen pursed his lips and confessed, “He said I either have to become the head of the Fu family myself, or I have to sever ties with my elder brother and the others. Only in this way can I completely get rid of my sister-in-law and the others’ entanglement.”
“He’s absolutely right,” Old Master Fu sighed. “I do hope you’ll choose the first option.”
Fu Shen quickly waved his hand in refusal, "Dad, Patriarch, please choose between my brother and the other man. Don't consider me. I can't do it!"
Old Master Fu knew perfectly well what was going on.
It's not that he can't do it, it's that he doesn't want to.
But he and his wife really didn't want to force him to do things he didn't like.
Forget it, let him be!
"You heard what I said to your sister-in-law just now. She and Aheng won't be coming over often anymore. So come home more often and have a meal with us. Otherwise, this house will be too lonely!"
Grandma Fu quickly chimed in, "Yes! Such a big house, yet it feels so empty all the time. It would be wonderful if we could have more people in the family!"
Add people.
How else can I add it!
It's nothing more than getting married and having children.
However, none of these are currently in Fu Shen's plans for the next few years.
Fu Shen could only pretend not to understand the old lady's hint, "Mom and Dad, don't worry, I will definitely come back to have meals with you often in the future."
Grandma Fu saw that he was pretending to be confused, but she didn't expose him.
Thinking that as long as he was willing to come back more often, she would definitely be able to find an opportunity to introduce him to a few girls.
It's okay to pretend to be confused now.
After finishing his meal, Fu Shen returned to his apartment.
He first went back to his room to get a bottle of wine, and then knocked on Chu Ze's door across the street.
Chu Ze opened the door.
Upon seeing the bottle of wine in his hand, I couldn't help but frown.
"Hasn't everything been resolved? Why are you still drinking?"
Fu Shen happily raised the bottle and shook it. "That's why I came to celebrate with you!"
Seeing that he was in a good mood and didn't seem like he was going to drown his sorrows in alcohol, Chu Ze stepped aside and let him into the house.
Fu Shen went to the kitchen and picked out two glasses, then took them to the balcony. After Chu Ze sat down next to him, he handed him one of the glasses, which already contained wine.
After they downed a drink together, Fu Shen started rambling on about what had happened at dinner that evening.
Chu Ze listened patiently from the side.
Finally, when he heard that the old man had driven away Fu's eldest sister-in-law, he was also very happy for Fu Shen.
Since Old Master Fu did this today, it means he has sided with Fu Shen.
Fu Shen will no longer have to be caught in the middle between his parents and the eldest branch of the Fu family.
Because he was so happy, Fu Shen ended up getting drunk.
Chu Ze found him too heavy and was too lazy to carry him back to the other side.
So they brought over a blanket and let him make do on the sofa for the night.
**
After Song Chuxia returned to Zuoan Longting, she and Tang Yu packed up the things they would take back to the Tang family villa.
They didn't bring much this time, so they didn't ask the family servants for help.
After packing, they had a simple dinner and then went downstairs with their suitcases.
I plan to go back to the villa tonight.
After making sure nothing was left behind, the two got into the car together.
