Chapter 522: Fu Shanzhan x Qiao Yunxue "Bruise"

522. Fu Shanzhan x Qiao Yunxue "Bruise"

After his wedding and honeymoon, Fu Shanzhan joined Kelan and managed the affairs of the North City branch under his elder brother Fu Congjian.

Fu Shanzhan studied at the National Defense University. After graduation, he joined the army despite his family's opposition and did not retire until he got married.

He was not interested in business. After joining Kelan, he had been studying with Fu Congjian and often had to work overtime on weekends.

On this Saturday, Fu Shanzhan got up early and prepared to go to the company for a project meeting.

When he got up, the woman next to him was still sleeping soundly. She only opened her eyes reluctantly before he left.

Seeing that she woke up, Fu Shanzhan leaned over and kissed her on the face. Soon, the kiss landed on her neck in an unruly manner.

"Why aren't you going to work yet..." Qiao Yunxue covered his mouth, "Hurry up and leave, or they'll say I'm keeping you late again."

"Who said that?" Fu Shanzhan asked.

Qiao Yunxue: "Aren't there enough people who say that? Okay, leave now. I need to take a nap."

"Don't worry about them. It's all about our mutual consent." Fu Shanzhan kissed her forehead. "I'll contact you after I finish my work this afternoon. Pick me up at the company and we'll go on a date in the evening."

Qiao Yunxue said vaguely, "Hmm," "Got it."

Fu Shanzhan: "Then I'll leave. Remember to eat on time."

Qiao Yunxue: "So long-winded..."

Fu Shanzhan: "This is called loving you."

"Wait for my call, my wife." After leaving these words, Fu Shanzhan left reluctantly.

…

After seeing Fu Shanzhan off, Qiao Yunxue was about to take another nap when she was interrupted by a knock on the door.

The one knocking on the door was the aunt at home: "Third Young Madam, there was a call from the old house just now. Mr. Fu is back and wants you to come over."

Hearing this, Qiao Yunxue's face darkened.

"Oh, I see." She replied perfunctorily, then got out of bed and walked towards the bathroom.

Qiao Yunxue simply washed up, walked out and stood in front of the wardrobe. After choosing for a long time, she put on a white cheongsam and put on some light makeup.

It was already past nine o'clock when they finished cleaning up. Qiao Yunxue didn't even have time to eat breakfast before driving to the old house.

Along the way, Qiao Yunxue's face didn't look very good.

Before she married Fu Shanzhan, Fu Qingyun was not very optimistic about them - he felt that they were both too young and the marriage was too hasty.

Although Fu Qingyun finally agreed to let them get married and even carefully held a wedding for them, he was too strict and Qiao Yunxue felt extremely pressured every time she faced him.

After they returned from their honeymoon, Fu Qingyun was not in North City, so Fu Shanzhan took her out of the old house directly.

This matter has not been discussed with the two elders.

Qiao Yunxue also guessed that Fu Qingyun would probably ask about it if he asked her to go back today.

At ten past ten, Qiao Yunxue's car stopped in front of the Fu family's old house.

As soon as she got off the car, she saw Fu Qingyun and Fu Xijing sitting in the yard.

The father and son seemed to be talking about work.

Qiao Yunxue stopped two meters away, feeling a little embarrassed and caught in a dilemma.

Finally, Fu Xijing stepped forward to help her out: "Didn't the third brother come with you?"

Qiao Yunxue: "He's working overtime today."

Fu Xijing smiled and said, "It seems that you have matured a lot after getting married."

"You spend all day thinking about skipping work and being lazy. How can you be mature?" Fu Qingyun took over Fu Xijing's words with obvious disgust.

Fu Xijing: "The third child is only 21. It's normal for him to be playful at this age."

Fu Qingyun: "If you're too playful, don't get married. I always say that you should build a career first and then start a family. If you start a family without a career, you have no sense of responsibility at all—"

Fu Qingyun stopped talking halfway after glancing at Qiao Yunxue.

He waved to Fu Xijing and said, "You go in first. I want to talk to Yunxue alone."

After Fu Xijing left, Fu Qingyun glanced at the empty seat opposite and said to Qiao Yunxue, "Come and sit down."

Qiao Yunxue nodded, walked to the empty seat and sat down.

Fu Qingyun took a clean teacup and poured her a cup of tea.

Qiao Yunxue took it and quickly said, "Thank you, Dad."

Qiao Yunxue was afraid of Fu Qingyun since the first time she met him.

Fu Qingyun is more than ten years older than her parents, and Fu Shanzhan is his child with his second wife.

He has been in a high position for many years, is serious and stern, and has a strong sense of oppression.

Qiao Yunxue is only in her early twenties. It would be a joke for her to say that she doesn't feel any pressure when facing such an elder alone.

In front of Fu Qingyun, she was basically a transparent person, and all her little thoughts could be seen through at a glance.

Fu Qingyun casually asked Qiao Yunxue, "Are you not used to living in the old house?"

Qiao Yunxue shook her head, "No, it's fine."

Fu Qingyun: "It's fine, why do you want to move out?"

Qiao Yunxue moved her lips, but was left speechless by the question.

Fu Qingyun didn't press the issue relentlessly, but simply said, "I'm not too optimistic about your marriage, but since I've already agreed to you being together, I won't make things difficult for you. You don't need to feel so much pressure."

"Yeah." Qiao Yunxue responded softly.

Fu Qingyun: "The third brother has no ambition. This won't work. You should persuade him more."

"After all, I'm going to have children in the future, and I have to be a role model for them."

Qiao Yunxue: "I understand, Dad. I will persuade him."

Fu Qingyun: "When do you and the third brother plan to have children?"

Talking about this topic, Qiao Yunxue became even more embarrassed. After a long while, she managed to utter a sentence: "Let's...let it be."

Fu Qingyun: "Then I'll just say it straight."

He said, "Don't worry about having a child for the next three to five years. Wait until his career is stable."

Qiao Yunxue pursed her lips and remained silent.

When other people get married, their elders always urge them to have children, but in her case, the elders actually stop them from having children.

Fu Qingyun said this as if he was certain that they would separate in the future.

You can't blame Qiao Yunxue for thinking too much. After all, Fu Qingyun had never been optimistic about them from the beginning, and now he's come to her alone and asked her not to have children for the next few years...

"You're too young to be good parents now. Wait until you're mature enough." Fu Qingyun saw that Qiao Yunxue was reluctant, so he said a few more words, "I don't mean any other things. I'm just thinking about you."

Qiao Yunxue: "Okay, Dad, I'll take note."

Fu Qingyun: "Your mother brought you a gift, go in and talk to her."

He stood up and pointed to the living room of the old house.

Qiao Yunxue agreed, picked up her bag, and walked into the living room with quickened pace.

Compared to her father-in-law Fu Qingyun, Qiao Yunxue prefers to get along with her mother-in-law Ji Qingyuan. At least the sense of oppression is not as strong.

…

Despite the presence of Ji Qingyuan and Fu Xijing, Qiao Yunxue still felt very uncomfortable during lunch.

Qiao Yunxue really couldn't think of a solution, so she sent a WeChat message to Lu Ye, asking him to call her after lunch.

This way, she would have a reason to leave first.

Lu Ye did a great job. Qiao Yunxue had just gotten down from the dining table when his call came in.

After answering the phone, Qiao Yunxue hurriedly left the Fu family's old house.

As soon as she got in the car, Lu Ye called again.

When Qiao Yunxue answered the phone, she heard Lu Ye say, "I'm near Guanghua Road. My car broke down. Can you come pick me up?"
