Chapter 277 A Perfect Match

Jiang Ranxing coughed twice and said, "Alright, stop joking. You're the head of such a large group, especially at such a critical moment. Let's get down to business."

"The head of a group also needs to make a living; his wife is much more important than anything else."

"You!" Jiang Ranxing was even more exasperated. "Who's your wife? Stop joking..."

Fu Shenyuan had been observing Jiang Ranxing's reaction, and he gradually realized that Jiang Ranxing was someone who responded better to gentle persuasion than force.

If you try to confront her directly, she'll decisively cut off all possibilities, leaving you with no way to proceed.

But if you soften your stance, even if she is more in the right, she might soften her heart and not be able to be too harsh on you.

Fu Shenyuan felt that he couldn't keep asking Jiang Ranxing for a chance so directly, because as it turned out, no matter how much he begged, he didn't get it at all.

Perhaps a different approach might yield different results. Although he wasn't very skilled at this kind of rhetoric, it seemed to be effective, so he could try it again next time.

"Grandpa's health will definitely be much worse after all this. My people have sent word that Second Uncle has started making moves, both overtly and covertly. I'm afraid I'll have to focus a lot of my energy on the group and the Fu family, which might mean I can't take care of you as much. I hope you can understand."

"It's okay, I didn't care about this anyway. You go ahead and do your thing. I'll come over if needed."

"Hmm." Fu Shenyuan returned to his usual demeanor. "If you need anything, you can call me and I'll have someone bring it to you."

Jiang Ranxing wanted to say no, but then he thought that saying it or not saying it would make no difference, so there was nothing to say.

Fu Shenyuan still cherished the time he spent with her and was unwilling to leave.

"I wish time could stand still at this moment, so I could see you a little longer."

He wished that time could etch the image of Jiang Ranxing smiling with flowers on the balcony, preferably into the deepest part of his heart, imprinted on his soul, so that he would never forget it in this life or the next.

Jiang Ranxing didn't say anything in the end, watching Fu Shenyuan leave reluctantly.

After leaving the Jiang family, Fu Shenyuan first called Tan Shen and made various arrangements before driving directly to the Fu family's old residence.

Luxury cars and members of the Fu family still gather in front of the old Fu family mansion.

When they saw Fu Shenyuan coming, everyone made way for him.

When the old butler came over, Fu Shenyuan asked, "How is Grandpa's condition now? What did the doctor say?"

The old butler replied, "After the doctor conducted a comprehensive examination of the master, he said that the condition has stabilized, but his health is not very good after such a serious illness. He can only rest now. A professional medical team has been arranged to stay at the old house. Young Master, please rest assured that they will take responsibility for the master's health."

“Alright, in that case, let all these people go back and not disturb Grandpa’s rest,” Fu Shenyuan gestured.

"But as I just mentioned, the hosts are worried and don't want to leave."

Fu Shenyuan chuckled, a laugh so cold it was chilling: "Whether they care or have ulterior motives, they know it themselves. Let them leave. If I come out and see so many people in the hall again, don't blame me for being impolite."

"Yes, please go upstairs first, I will take you to the master's room."

"Okay, let's go."

After Fu Shenyuan entered the room, the old butler went to the first-floor hall as he had instructed. Standing in front, he said respectfully and loudly, "Please return, everyone. Please let the master rest and recover. This is also Young Master Sun's wish."

Some people protested: "What? He can visit whenever he wants, but we can't? Does he not consider us part of the Fu family?"

"Yes, everyone's here to see the chairman, so why won't we go up and take a look?"

The old butler listened, and he understood perfectly.

These people are all from collateral branches of the Fu family. They said they came to visit, but in reality, they just wanted to check on Old Master Fu's condition. If anything happened to him, they wanted to get a share of the family fortune. They were all after the Fu family's wealth. How many of them were genuinely concerned about an elder? They all had their own agendas.

The old butler remained patient and said, "Please calm down, esteemed masters. Young Master Sun is very concerned about the master's health and has already given me his instructions. If you insist on doing this, I, as a servant, cannot guarantee what my master might do."

The old butler didn't put it so directly, but everyone present understood that anyone who dared to rush forward against the wind would be truly lacking in tact.

Before long, just as Fu Shenyuan had instructed, the Fu family's old residence returned to its former tranquility.

Upstairs in the bedroom, Fu Shenyuan stayed by Old Master Fu's bedside for a long time. Old Master Fu had just received an injection, and the medicine contained a drowsy ingredient, so he had been asleep for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, there was movement coming from the bed. Fluctuations in the data from various monitors attracted the doctor's attention, who knocked on the door. After the examination, the doctor greeted Fu Shenyuan.

"President Fu, please don't worry. The chairman is in good health and there's nothing wrong with him."

The doctor then left, leaving only the Fu family grandfather and grandson in the room.

"Grandpa, how are you feeling?" Fu Shenyuan couldn't help but ask with concern.

"It's alright, Shen Yuan, don't make a fuss. It's already a good thing that I can maintain this condition at my age. Don't worry," said Grandpa Fu, then looked outside, "Didn't Jiang come with you?"

When he asked this question, Old Master Fu's expression clearly showed a hint of disappointment.

Fu Shenyuan honestly told Grandpa Fu everything that had happened recently, including the fact that Jiang Yan and Jiang Ranxing were siblings.

But Grandpa Fu didn't seem surprised at all; instead, his expression showed a sense of relief.

"Grandpa, did you know Ranxing's identity all along? Why would you..."

Grandpa Fu looked at him and still felt he was too young.

"Child, think it over carefully. Why would I agree to let you marry a girl from an ordinary family, especially one with such a peculiar and disharmonious one?"
