Twenty years of relationship, how can you just give up like that?

As for Grape, he will go there personally to apologize to her on behalf of Fu Mengyao.

He shall atone for the sins she has committed.

Fu Sinan knew that his cousin was stubborn and inflexible. He wasn't a bad person, but he was too kind, which was why he held onto a sliver of hope for Fu Mengyao and always shouldered everything himself.

As he said, he couldn't comment because of differing perspectives, but he would do his best to protect the grapes.

“Cousin, you need to understand one thing: you can’t change Fu Mengyao’s current situation. It’s the Fu family that’s trying to suppress her. Apart from Mom and Dad, none of us brothers will give her a chance to come back.”

“I know, don’t worry, I won’t help the evildoer. These punishments she’s receiving are what she deserves. All I want to do is save her life and help her become a good person.”

He thought he would give her a chance, reform her, and let her live an ordinary life, never having any contact with the Fu and Qiao families again.

From then on, they became people from two different worlds.

"Alright, I hope you keep your word. I won't pursue what happened before, but if you do anything to hurt Grape for her sake again, don't blame me for not showing any brotherly affection."

Qiao Yuzhou nodded: "Okay."

There was no need to continue this matter once it was brought up, so he changed the subject and asked, "Now tell me, what is it that you wanted to see me about?"

"Now, everything is fine."

Previously, he wanted to find out about Fu Mengyao being kicked out and try to persuade her to talk to her second aunt. Even if they weren't related by blood, they had lived together for at least twenty years and had feelings for each other, so she shouldn't just abandon her like that.

But now, there's really no need to persuade them anymore, and it's impossible to say it out loud.

The truth he knew was that his second aunt never kicked Fu Mengyao out of the family because of blood relations, but because she could not forgive what she had done to her.

If it were him, he wouldn't be able to forgive her for almost losing his daughter whom he had longed for for twenty years.

Thinking of his sister, whose whereabouts were unknown, her heart ached again. She looked at him and said, "But I have a request."

Fu Sinan replied, "As long as it has nothing to do with Fu Mengyao and does not harm Yao'er, I can agree to your request."

Qiao Yuzhou shook his head: "It has nothing to do with her, and she would never hurt Grape. She is my mother. She is not in good health. Please do not tell her about my sister's disappearance for the time being. Give me some time to look for her."

"Don't worry, your mother is also our second aunt. We, the Fu family, would never do something that would hurt our own people and please our enemies. Your younger sister is also our cousin. We will use all our resources to find her."

He lowered his head, his voice weary but filled with deep emotion: "Thank you."

"However, twenty years have passed since then, and we were all just children back then. It will be very difficult to investigate now, so we need to prepare for the worst."

His voice was a little hoarse: "I understand."

Fu Sinan stood up, his expression much more indifferent than when they had just started talking: "Then I'll be going now."

He looked up and asked softly, "Si Nan, may I see Grape?"

Fu Sinan shook his head almost without hesitation: "No."

This answer was exactly what he expected.

Fu Sinan added, "Before you completely sever ties with Fu Mengyao, given Grape's personality, she will never welcome you, so there's no need for that."

His emotions were very complex, his heart was in turmoil, and he said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry."
