The old house of the Fu family was full of joy.

Even though it is only an engagement, for such a wealthy family, it is more grand than the formal wedding banquet of ordinary people.

The invitations were scattered on the wooden table in the living room, some of which had been sent out a few days ago, and the rest were local guests in Beicheng who could be sent at any time.

Fu Feibai, who has not been seen for many years, was called back by the old man, and even Fu Yunhan, who had made a big mistake before and was sent to the army for reflection, came back.

The Fu family has not held a happy event for many years, and the atmosphere is naturally unprecedentedly lively.

Fu Jianfang held a peeled orange in his hand, flipped through the openwork bronzing invitation card on the table, and said provocatively: "The old man's vision is also cheesy, do you have to use such a fancy one?" ”

No one dared to answer her words.

Fu Yuling glanced at her with the cat, she was in a bad mood for many days, she couldn't hold back at this moment, she just wanted to stab this aunt a few words, her elbow was suddenly pulled, she turned around and saw Fu Feibai holding an invitation card in her hand, and asked in a low voice: "Big brother wants to get engaged to the daughter of the Xu family?" ”

I heard that the eldest brother was going to get engaged, and Fu Feibai's crew had just finished it, so he pushed off the filming work and rushed back from the field, and only arrived in Beicheng this evening.

Subconsciously, he always thought that the object of engagement with his eldest brother was Shen Jianian, and when he saw the invitation, he found that the woman's name column said "Xu Youxuan".

When Fu Yuling saw the red invitation, he felt dazzling and upset, and said angrily: "It's clearly written, didn't you see it?" ”

"Then Shen Jia ......" Fu Feibai wanted to speak and stopped.

Fu Yuling sneered, and said in his heart, there is no such person as Shen Jiannian in the world, and it is not certain whether the bones can be found or not.

"That's going to ask my brother." She said.

As soon as the words fell, the door was opened from the outside, Fu Jichen's tall figure came into view, Fu Yuling instantly forgot all the unpleasantness, dropped the cat in his arms, and ran forward to greet him: "Brother, you are back." ”

Last night, my mother came back from Yunding Palace and told her that her brother was a lot haggard, and now I see it, and it is really so.

Knowing that my brother was coming over tonight, my mother began to stew soup with the chef at home at noon, especially explaining that it was not allowed to be too greasy, and only my brother had such treatment.

"Fu Da is here, my aunt has congratulated you first." Fu Jianfang leaned on the wooden table, a smile on her lips, "I saw you bring the girl from the Shen family back and introduce her to the family, and I thought it was real." This man, he says he likes it, but he likes his family background. The Xu family has been talented for generations, and I heard that Miss Xu's uncle will have to be promoted this year, and your niece and son-in-law will rely on it in the future! ”

Fu Jichen didn't show joy or anger on his face, and responded: "At that time, I won't lose my aunt's benefits." ”

"Your mouth is used to coaxing people, where can your aunt and I get your light." Fu Jianfang smiled and changed the conversation, "That Miss Shen, have you settled down?" Don't make any bad noises in the future, and if you make a fuss in the newspaper like last time, the nature will be different. ”

"Don't bother my aunt."

Fu Jichen didn't show any annoyance from beginning to end, dropped a sentence lightly, and went upstairs to the study to find the old man.

Fu Jianfang stuffed a petal of orange into his mouth, rolled his eyes secretly, pretending to be infatuated, it is estimated that he has already been secretly happy in his heart.

The old man asked Fu Jichen to come back for nothing else, and he was still talking about the engagement.

Fu Jichen's attitude changed from his previous resistance, what the old man said was what he said, just listening, never refuting a word.

His resignation made the old man suspicious, slowly took a sip of tea, and asked him seriously: "You don't have any opinions?" ”

"Everything is up to grandpa." Fu Jichen sat expressionlessly, his hand on the arm of the chair, seemingly indifferent to everything, "Anyway, no matter what the grandson says, grandpa will have his own ideas in the end, so it's better to save some effort, so as not to make you angry and others complain about me." ”

When these words came out, the old man was speechless, and at the same time, he was afraid that his grandson would really hate him.

Fu Jichen played with the handlebars hanging down from his wrists, rubbing the smooth jade with his fingertips, and his mind was as calm as water.

The old man showed weakness, sighed slightly, didn't talk to him, and said in his heart: "One day in the future, you will understand grandpa's hard work, grandpa is doing this, in the final analysis, to pave the way for you." ”

"Grandpa never seemed to think about whether I would like to follow the path you paved." Fu Jichen raised his eyes and looked straight at him, "The road you paved for my father back then, does he understand your hard work now?" ”

The old man's expression froze, and a deep meaning gradually appeared in his eyes, why did he suddenly mention his father? Did he know something...... No way.

The old man immediately denied this answer in his heart.

"I heard that your father and mother were the ones you matched." Fu Jichen's tone was casual.

The doubts in the old man's heart disappeared, he pondered for a while, and said with a light smile: "They are not very good now, and you three children." ”

Fu Jichen didn't talk to him about this topic in depth, drank a cup of tea, got up and left the study.

At the corner of the second floor, I met Fu Feibai, who was playing with his mobile phone against the wall, he was one hundred and eighty-five up, in order to look good on camera, he was thinner than the average man, but he was not weak, and his exposed arms had tight muscle lines, wearing a loose trendy T-shirt, black cargo pants, and one hand was copied into his trouser pocket.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Fu Feibai put his mobile phone in his pocket, put away his lazy posture, and stood up straight: "Brother, do you really want to get engaged to Miss Xu?" ”

Because he had seen his brother's love and care for Shen Jianian, he didn't believe that his brother could give up that person.

Fu Jichen obviously didn't want to talk about this, so he raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Since you're back, take a few more days of rest, and other things are not something you should worry about." ”

Fu Feibai didn't follow his meaning to bypass this topic, and said persistently: "I care about you." You're engaged, what should Miss Shen do? ”

For a long time, Fu Jichen didn't speak.

"Why are you two hiding here and talking?" Wei Ronghua's voice came from the bottom of the stairs, and he breathed a sigh of relief as he spoke.

She heard that Ji Chen went to the study on the third floor after he came back, and she was worried that he would have a dispute with the old man because of the engagement, so she came up to take a look, but she didn't expect to meet the two brothers talking here.

Fu Jichen's gaze glanced over, looking at the person condescendingly, the strength of holding the handle slowly increased, and the knuckles raised a sharp arc.

He didn't look at Fu Feibai, but said to him: "You go down first, I have something to say...... Mother said. ”

When Fu Jichen said the title of "mother", he could not hide his sarcasm, and a trace of cracks appeared in his calm complexion, and coldness seeped out.

When Wei Ronghua heard this, she was stunned for a moment, but she didn't think much about it, and when Fu Feibai went downstairs, she walked up a few steps, with a gentle smile on her face: "What do you want to say to your mother?" ”

This is not the place to speak, Fu Jichen went straight through the corridor on the second floor and walked to the terrace to the west.

In May, night falls less early than in winter, and you can still catch a glimpse of the sunset. On the spacious terrace there are several flower stands with potted plants on top of them, a parasol on the other side, and a set of tables and chairs under the umbrella.

Fu Jichen stood in front of the railing, his hand on it, his back to Wei Ronghua, and he didn't beat around the bush: "Don't you wonder why I went to Jiangcheng after returning to China?" You went to the villa of Yunding Palace yesterday, and you didn't seem to ask me. ”

Wei Ronghua chuckled in his heart, and a cold sweat instantly broke out in his palm.

Fu Jichen turned his head and took her suddenly nervous expression into his eyes, and couldn't help laughing in his heart, his "mother" was ruthless, but his courage was average.

"I ...... I don't understand what you're saying. Wei Ronghua straightened up and tried to divert the topic, "Dinner is almost ready, let's go and call your grandfather for dinner, we will talk about anything at the dinner table." ”

"What are you talking about at the dinner table?" Fu Jichen sneered, his voice was low, "Shen Jianian had a car accident in Jiangcheng, and there are no bones, don't you really know?" ”

Everyone was in front of Shen Jianian in front of him, but she kept silent, if it wasn't for a ghost in her heart, what else could it be?

Wei Ronghua's face was slightly pale, seeing the coldness in Fu Jichen's eyes, he was not sad that it was fake, he came to question her for a woman, did he think about how she would feel?

Yes, she did threaten Shen Jianian and told her to leave Beicheng, but her life was bad for her in a car accident, and she couldn't blame her!

"Why don't you speak?" Fu Jichen approached her, his footsteps seemed to be stepping on her heart, step by step, making her scalp tingle, and his words became more and more straightforward, "Did you find someone to do it?" ”

"I didn't!" Wei Ronghua shook his head, his eyes suddenly turned red, grabbed his arm with both hands, and confessed to him, "I talked to Shen Jianian, saying that you are going to be engaged to the daughter of the Xu family, let her leave you, she promised me, I don't need to embarrass her anymore." The car accident was an accident, not something I did. How can you ...... How can you doubt Mom? ”

Compared with being treated coldly by her son, what made her even more unacceptable was her son's questioning of her.

Before he finished speaking, Wei Ronghua couldn't cry anymore.

She was the mother who was pregnant for ten months and almost lost her life to give birth to him, how could he think that she was a murderer, and it was a punishment for her heart.
