In the old house of the Fu family, when Fu Jichen went back, the nanny had just finished dinner and brought it to the dining table.

The old man appeared at the staircase, saw his grandson changing shoes at the entrance, did not anger him because of yesterday's news, as usual, with a light smile on his wrinkled face: "Coming?" ”

Fu Jichen nodded, and he was close to and respected the old man: "Grandpa, what are you looking for me for?" ”

"I'll talk about it when I'm done." The old man pointed to the restaurant and said.

Hearing the sound coming from the living room, Fu Yuling came out of the kitchen with the cat in her arms, she was wearing a black mohair sweater and leather skirt with slanted shoulders, revealing a snow-white fragrant shoulder, seeing Fu Jichen, her eyes were bright, and her voice was full of liveliness: "Brother, why do you have time to come over for dinner today?" ”

Even if he is in Beicheng, it is not easy to meet him.

Fu Jichen glanced at her lightly: "Grandpa asked me to come back." ”

For Fu Yuling, it is rare for this brother to be willing to say a word to herself, she let go of the cat in her arms, followed behind Fu Jichen like a little tail, and watched him turn on the faucet to wash his hands, she tilted her head and asked, "Have you been busy lately?" I see how you've lost some weight. ”

Fu Jichen didn't pay any attention to her, washed his hands and went to the restaurant to sit down.

Fu Yuling pursed his lips, didn't care, pulled out the chair next to him, and sat next to him.

After a while, Fu Zhengjun came over and sat next to the old man.

There were four people at the dinner table tonight, and the old man didn't see his eldest daughter-in-law, so he casually asked where she went.

Fu Zhengjun didn't know that he didn't see Wei Ronghua after he got home.

Fu Yuling's eyes rolled, holding a glass of juice in both hands, her lips against the mouth of the straw, and smiled sweetly at her father: "Mom made an appointment with a few wives to eat out, and told me when she left, so that we don't have to wait for her." ”

She knew that her mother would go to Shen Jianian to negotiate tonight, of course it was impossible to say it, and she had to help her cover up.

The old man moved his chopsticks and beckoned to the others: "Then don't wait, let's eat." ”

A few people ate with different thoughts, the atmosphere was a little quiet, there was no topic to talk about at the dinner table, only Fu Yuling chattered and said some interesting things from time to time, like a sparrow on the branch.

She doesn't do anything serious all day, either going out for afternoon tea and shopping, or participating in a party with a friend group in the circle, an idler.

As long as she doesn't make a big mistake, the old man is generally too lazy to discipline her.

However, she is the same age as Fu Jichen, as soon as the Lunar New Year passes, she goes straight to thirty, and now she doesn't even have a boyfriend, which is also worrying.

Although there is congenital heart disease, fertility is not considered, but the family background is there, and the person is not bad, there will always be people who are willing to accept it. Over the years, there have been many people who have come to the door to say goodbye, and some young people of marriageable age, Wei Ronghua, were very satisfied after reading it, and introduced them to Fu Yuling, but they were all rejected by her coldly.

Thinking of this, the old man mentioned it in passing: "I've been hanging out with friends lately, and I haven't met the right person for my eyes?" ”

Fu Yuling raised his chopsticks and was about to pick up the dishes, when he heard the words, his hand was paused, and he subconsciously glanced at Fu Jichen, he didn't seem to hear it, put the soup in the bowl, and took a sip casually. Fu Yuling withdrew his gaze, bent the corners of his mouth at his grandfather, and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, this is an eyesore for me, and he is in a hurry to marry me off?" Can't I want to spend more time with you? ”

The old man snorted lightly: "It's thirty, if you delay for a few more years, grandpa won't see you get married even if he closes his eyes." ”

"How come, grandpa is in good health, and he is guaranteed to live to be two hundred years old!"

The old man was amused: "Two hundred years old, I won't be a king." ”

Fu Yuling also smiled, glanced at the people around him, hugged his arm with both hands, and put his face on his shoulder: "My brother is not married, what am I anxious about." ”

"Sit down, don't move your hands or feet." Fu Jichen twisted his eyebrows slightly and pulled out his arm.

Fu Yuling stuck out his tongue, sat down obediently, picked up the chopsticks at hand, and sandwiched a piece of braised pork ribs for him: "You eat more, the work is so hard." ”

The old man ate the soft glutinous porridge in the bowl, and said quietly: "Your brother's marriage is coming soon, so you have to hurry." ”

As soon as these words came out, the restaurant suddenly fell silent.

Fu Yuling looked stunned, Fu Zhengjun was a little surprised, Fu Jichen's face was slightly gloomy, and the three of them didn't speak, only the crisp sound of the porcelain spoon hitting the bowl wall came from the old man.

Fu Yuling couldn't hold back his words in his heart, bit the tip of his chopsticks, and took the lead in asking, "Brother's marriage?" Do you mean him and that Miss Shen, or ......"

She didn't say the word "Miss Xu", and secretly glanced at Fu Jichen, for fear of upsetting him.

The old man didn't say it directly, pinched the spoon and clicked in the air: "Eat, eat, don't talk about it." ”

After the meal, the nanny came to clean up the leftovers on the table, and the old man put his hands behind his back and called Fu Jichen upstairs.

In the living room, Fu Zhengjun sat down on the sofa and lit a cigarette. The TV is on, and the news is playing. Fu Yuling sat down beside him and asked him quietly with a curious face: "Dad, what do you mean by grandpa's words, has my brother's marriage been decided?" Why so suddenly? Is Grandpa hiding something from us? ”

"You accompany your grandfather at home every day, what's going on with his old man, don't you know?"

Fu Zhengjun looked at his daughter's appearance like a thief, and couldn't help laughing, not wanting her to smoke second-hand smoke, so he leaned over the ashtray and extinguished the cigarette that he only smoked twice.

Fu Yuling touched his nose weakly: "I went out to attend a friend's party today." ”

Fu Zhengjun took the opportunity to educate her: "If you are not in good health, don't keep running outside, you are easy to catch a cold when the season changes." ”

"I see." Fu Yuling responded absentmindedly, glanced at the staircase, couldn't sit still, got up and ran to the kitchen with slippers, and asked the nanny, "Aunt Zheng, are there any guests at home today?" ”

Aunt Zheng was putting the dishes into the dishwasher one by one, glanced at her, and replied with a smile: "The gentleman of the Xu family came over in the afternoon and chatted with the old man in the study upstairs for more than an hour. ”

"Xu Youxuan's father Xu Qinian?"

This little ancestor has no scruples about speaking and doing things, and when she calls the name of the elder, Aunt Zheng is not surprised, and nods and says, "It's him." ”

Fu Yuling pulled his face out of the kitchen.

She now knows why her grandfather called her brother back, and she must be discussing his marriage with Xu Youxuan.

Shen Jiannian hasn't solved it yet, and there is another daughter of the Xu family...... Sick of it.

*

Upstairs in the study, as soon as Fu Jichen sat down, he heard the old man say that he had confirmed with the Xu family that the 28th of this month was the nearest auspicious day, and it was advisable to get married, and the engagement ceremony was scheduled to be held on that day.

"Time is a bit rushed, and it's too late to find more people to help." The old man poured himself tea, and there was a knocking in his words, "I don't care what happened before, before I get engaged, I must break off with that Miss Shen." ”

When Fu Jichen heard the old man's words at the dinner table, he was prepared in his heart, and when his guess was confirmed, he couldn't calm down after all.

He really didn't expect the old man to be so arbitrary and dictatorial, and he actually crossed him to make a marriage with the Xu family.

It's a joke.

He didn't agree at all, and he couldn't possibly agree.

Old Man Fu picked up the teacup, glanced at him, and said lightly: "You can put forward your opinions, but the date of engagement will not change, and I will write the invitation in person from tomorrow." ”

Fu Jichen stood up, because he still had some respect for the old man, his head was lowered, but his eyes were very indifferent and resolute: "I will not marry the daughter of the Xu family, I hope you know this." ”

Old Man Fu twisted his eyebrows, and the teacup slammed on the table: "Aren't you confused, do you really want to marry that Shen family girl?" ”

"What if I said yes."

"There are no ifs and buts." The old man looked at him with his eyes slender, and his tone was very heavy, "You are the pillar of the Fu family, the person at the helm of Junshan Group in the future, and your other half can only be your help and backing, and it can never be your drag." The daughter of the Xu family may tolerate the existence of that woman generously, but my Fu family can't do anything that is criticized, so it's best for you to cut off contact with that woman. ”

Fu Jichen sneered, what is the daughter of the Xu family to tolerate Shen Jiannian generously, he never thought of raising Shen Jiannian outside and being a lover who can't see the light.

Seeing his attitude of not entering, the old man became more and more ruthless: "If you have to test grandpa's bottom line, you can only say that you are still too tender, and Junshan Group is still up to me." ”

Fu Jichen nodded and smiled: "Yes, the proportion of shares in your hand is there, of course Junshan Group has the final say, and no one questions this." ”

"If you continue to be stubborn, I think the future leader of the group can consider changing the responsibility." The old man is forcing him to make a choice.

Whether he wants a country or a beauty, he chooses it himself.

The old man knows this grandson's ambition better than anyone else, and it is better to give him up his power than to give him a knife.

Fu Jichen's chest was churning with huge waves, his fingers were secretly clenched into fists, and his jaw was stretched out with sharp lines, he had always been forbearant and restrained, and he could show this, which was enough to prove his indignation. (End of chapter)
