698 A Strong Sense of Belonging
This family banquet was held by Old Man Fu himself, so all the people from the Fu family clan were present.
So much so that this so-called family banquet was even more grand than an ordinary dinner party.
When Shen Qingqiu and Fu Tingshen arrived, the housekeeper greeted Lian and walked into the living room, "Young Master, Miss Shen, please wait a moment. β
Fu Tingshen nodded to the housekeeper, and after the housekeeper left, he pushed the tea in his hand in front of Shen Qingqiu, "Taste it, how it tastes." β
Shen Qingqiu was slightly stunned.
He was worried that someone would take the opportunity to do something in his tea, so he specially gave himself the tea he prepared.
She pursed her lips, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "The people from the side branch will also come tonight?" β
"Yes." Fu Tingshen said: "According to the rules of the Fu family, unless the family gives instructions, they will never be able to approach the family at will, let alone enter and leave the old mansion at will. β
This rule invisibly elevates the identity of the family.
Shen Qingqiu rubbed the teacup with his fingertips, and said insincerely: "There are quite a lot of rules. β
The Qin family, as the richest man in Haicheng, naturally has a lot of rules, but compared to the Fu family, it is simply a small thing.
Hearing this, Fu Tingshen's eyebrows were slightly raised, and there was a shallow soft light at the bottom of his dark eyes, "My people don't need to talk about the rules." β
Under the understatement, there is an unmistakable determination.
After a while, there was a sound of unhurried footsteps at the door.
Shen Qingqiu subconsciously lifted his eyes to look, and saw the old man Fu in a silver-gray Tang costume walking against the light with a steady step.
Although he didn't say anything, Shen Qingqiu sensitively sensed a trace of anger that could not be concealed from his words and deeds.
It seems that tonight is indeed a feast.
She thought so in her heart, but based on the most basic politeness, she propped up her hand and was about to get up to greet her, but Fu Tingshen grabbed her hand, "Your family doesn't need to be polite." β
Shen Qingqiu was slightly stunned, and subconsciously turned his eyes to look at Old Man Fu.
Seeing that Old Man Fu's eyes narrowed slightly, he stared at Fu Tingshen without saying a word, a soft snort overflowed from his nose, and then he walked to the Taishi chair in the middle and sat down.
Shen Qingqiu pursed his lips, did not speak, and sat quietly on the chair.
After the housekeeper served a cup of tea to Old Man Fu, he left the living room with the others.
"The matter of the side branch nine is your hand." Old Man Fu stared at Fu Tingshen with heavy eyes.
Fu Tingshen stretched out his hand to pick up the bottom of the teacup, lifted the lid with his other hand and sniffed it lightly, and said casually: "I know, you still ask me." β
"You!" Old Man Fu was suddenly angry.
Originally, he thought that the people below were talking nonsense and thinking of clichΓ©s.
He is honest, does not quibble, does not hide it, and admits it directly.
To fight for a woman, this is to forget all his previous teachings!
"You really think that your wings are stiff, and if you are capable, I can't help you!" Old Man Fu was very dissatisfied with Fu Tingshen's current posture of no one in his eyes, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his words revealed threats and warnings that could not be concealed, "Don't forget, what you have now is what I gave you, since I can give it to you, I can naturally take it back!" β
However, these words fell on Fu Tingshen's ears like the wind in his ears, and they did not cause any impact.
He blew on the hot air floating on the teacup and took a sip, "Unless you want to see the Fu family fall into civil strife again." β
Hearing this, Old Man Fu choked.
Fu Tingshen continued: "Except for me, who in the Fu family can quell the civil strife. β
The tone of understatement is full of self-respecting and domineering.
As the words fell, there was a dead silence in the living room.
I don't know how long it took, Old Man Fu spoke again, "You are acting so presumptuous now, aren't you afraid that the elders will ask for guilt?!" β
Shen Qingqiu's eyelashes trembled slightly.
Through the information sent by the lone wolf during this time, she also knew more or less about the Fu family and the Council of Elders.
Today's independent states are divided into three tiers, with Fu, Zhu, Shang, Bai, and Mu as the first echelon.
Liang, Ouyang, Qiu, and Leng are the second echelon.
Among them, the Fu family's position in independent states is irreplaceable, and no one can shake it.
And the Presbyterian Council is the existence that overrides the Fu family.
They exist to supervise the heads of each family and have the right to punish the head of each family.
It's just that over the years, the Council of Elders has long been dissatisfied with the status quo, they have tried to meddle in the business of each family, and they have even controlled and fiddled with the major families, forming a situation where the Council of Elders is respected.
If Fu Tingshen's handling of the nine side branches was really caught by the Elders' Council, the people of the Elders' Council would definitely not give up.
Old Man Fu's words just now were enough to show the fear of the Elders' Council in his heart.
Fu Tingshen put down the teacup in his hand, and his voice was always cold, "If you want to settle the account, you naturally have to understand it, but I also want to ask them how to deal with the crime of murdering the future housewife!" β
"What did you say?!" Old Man Fu's eyebrows furrowed, and his face changed instantly.
He was shocked by Fu Tingshen's current attitude.
He stared at Fu Tingshen intently, his cloudy eyes flashed with a dark and complicated look, and a bold conjecture faintly appeared in his mind.
"You know me." Fu Tingshen elegantly crossed Erlang's legs, his hands were naturally clasped, and he put them on his legs, "The people who moved me will shed their skin if they don't die, and if I didn't end their lives on the spot, I already read the blood and blood love on the net." β
When Shen Qingqiu heard this, a ripple rippled in his heart.
My people......
Three simple words, but it gave her a strong sense of belonging.
"Do you know what you're talking about!" Old Man Fu's cloudy eyes revealed a touch of anger, his hand tightly grasped the corner of the table, and he tried to suppress the anger that was about to explode in the next second, "For the sake of a woman, you don't hesitate to be the enemy of the Elders' Council, you really think that the Elders' Council can't do that, so what can you do!" β
No matter people or things, too powerful beings will always be coveted, and this is the case with the Fu family today.
There are many rare and precious metals in the hand, and there are countless properties under the name.
The family has different thoughts, and the side branches are eyeing each other, and they are already worried about external and internal troubles, if they are questioned by the presbyterian council again, the consequences of the Fu family can be imagined.
The current situation of the Fu family, Fu Tingshen knows better than anyone else.
But knowing this, he stood up for the sake of women and moved the crowd so much.
It's just confusing!
"I think you're taking everything I've taught you all these years as a deaf ear!" Old Man Fu saw Fu Tingshen's stubborn posture, and immediately became angry, "It's for this thing, I don't hesitate to take advantage of the future of the Fu family!" β
"She is my wife, my only partner in Fu Tingshen's life, and the future head of the Fu family!" The man's voice has always been low and cold, but with an unspeakable tone, and the strong sense of oppression is irrefutable for a while.
