Four years ago, the Fu family changed its leader, and they all knew about it.
Over the past four years, they have heard about how the newly appointed Fu Yanchen cleaned up the mess and dealt with his opponents.
The mere word "decisive and ruthless" is not enough to describe Fu Yanchen's cruelty after he came to power.
How many people are glad that they did not become Fu Yanchen's opponent, otherwise they would have lost everything and died without a burial place.
"But... when old man Pei was still alive, he mentioned that he no longer had any contact with the Fu family, and that the child marriage was just a joke back then... In the past four years, the two families have not had any contact... How come Fu Yanchen... Fu Yanchen... is here?"
As soon as the words fell.
A man in a black suit and with a stern and serious expression has walked in front of the crowd.
He was clearly only in his twenties, and the men who had been showing off just now were now afraid to even speak loudly.
Fu Yanchen walked to the front and took three incense sticks from the butler.
Others who attended the funeral merely bowed slightly and kowtowed three times, but Fu Yanchen knelt down solemnly and kowtowed seriously before inserting the incense into the incense burner.
He stood up and looked at Pei Mingzhu beside him.
Fu Yanchen said, "Mingzhu, long time no see, please accept my condolences."
He had three sentences in his mind, but only two of them came out loud. The other one, "I'm late," was hidden in Fu Yanchen's heart.
Pei Mingzhu looked at Fu Yanchen who suddenly appeared in disbelief. They had been separated since they were young and had not seen each other for so many years.
Pei Mingzhu couldn't remember the exact number of years.
Especially in the past four years, Pei's father did not allow Pei Mingzhu to mention the Fu family, let alone Fu Yanchen, and the two families completely cut off contact.
In private, Pei Mingzhu couldn't help but secretly inquire about Fu Yanchen's recent situation.
Various sources said that Fu Yanchen started his career in Hong Kong and had a very dirty background. He would do anything illegal as long as he could make money.
Then, relying on the originally accumulated capital, he fought back to the Fu family.
At the same time, he also brought those dirty tricks that could not be seen in public back to the Fu family. Otherwise, why would his uncle's family be thrown into the sea to feed the fish?
People in the business world treat Fu Yanchen as a living devil. No one dares to mess with him, for fear that Fu Yanchen might be cruel and ruthless and stab them in the back.
There are many similar rumors...
Everyone was talking about how many people's blood was stained on Fu Yanchen's hands...
When Pei Mingzhu sees Fu Yanchen again now, she feels that he is still the same as he was when he was a child.
When he was young, Fu Yanchen was already quite handsome, with deep facial features and heroic looks. Now that he is more mature, his facial features have not changed much, except that he looks tougher.
And his appearance...
The last time they met was after Pei's mother died. He helped Pei Mingzhu walk out of the shadow of her mother's death.
Now at Pei's father's funeral, when everyone was eyeing Pei Mingzhu covetously, this man appeared again.
Even though Fu Yanchen didn't say anything, Pei Mingzhu still felt that this man came for her.
"Fu Yanchen, long time...no see." Pei Mingzhu endured the soreness and heat in her eyes and nodded slightly at Fu Yanchen.
The mere appearance of Fu Yanchen is enough.
Pei Mingzhu thought so in her heart.
But Fu Yanchen did more than that.
Fu Yanchen turned to the housekeeper and asked, "Give me a set of mourning clothes."
Wearing mourning clothes at a funeral is something that only the closest children or blood relatives need to do, but Fu Yanchen, an outsider, had to wear mourning clothes for Pei's father.
There were many exclamations from people around.
Fu Yanchen was not affected at all. He quickly took off his suit jacket, put on mourning clothes, and stood beside Pei Mingzhu.
Before Pei Mingzhu could react, a figure appeared beside her.
Fu Yanchen looked at the group of jackals, tigers and leopards, while Pei Mingzhu could only see his back.
He said to those people, "My dear uncles, you should all know that Mingzhu and I have been engaged since childhood."
As soon as these words were spoken, not only the men around them, but even Pei Mingzhu and Pei Hanchuan's eyes all fell on this man who suddenly appeared. They were shocked, hesitant, and confused... When everyone thought that the child marriage was just a joke, it came out of Fu Yanchen's mouth.
Not only did he say it, he also held Pei Mingzhu's hand tightly.
Fu Yanchen glanced at everyone around him with cold eyes and announced, "From now on, Pei family's affairs are my business. Uncles and aunts, please think before you act or speak. Don't let me hear something I don't like. Don't blame me for being rude then.
The group of people who had been so arrogant towards Pei Mingzhu before were now groveling in front of Fu Yanchen, and they kept saying "How could...how could we...", and none of them dared to provoke the living king of hell.
Pei Mingzhu watched everything unfold, watching this strange yet familiar man walk up to her, put on the same mourning clothes, and stand beside her.
He said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here with you."
The last time Pei Mingzhu's mother passed away, the young Fu Yanchen also said something like this, and he is still here.
Obviously no one gave Fu Yanchen any rights, but he just stood beside Fu Yanchen, returned the greetings and bowed as a relative of the deceased, doing everything he could.
Also because of Fu Yanchen's appearance, the entire funeral was grand and dignified. Some uncles and aunts who originally looked down on Pei Mingzhu all showed up afterwards and burned incense and paid their respects respectfully.
At first, Pei Mingzhu did not believe what Fu Yanchen said.
Child marriage is too ridiculous. Their childhood interactions came to an abrupt end, and they were separated for too long. They can be said to be just strangers, so how can they get married?
The funeral ended three days later.
Pei Mingzhu had her first in-depth conversation with Fu Yanchen. She said, "Fu Yanchen, thank you for coming this time. You have helped me a lot. In the future—"
Fu Yanchen's voice interrupted Pei Mingzhu's next words. The man seemed to be unaware of Pei Mingzhu's refusal and continued talking to himself.
"I asked the housekeeper, and he said that according to customs, I must get married within 100 days, otherwise I have to wait for three years to observe the mourning period." He looked at Pei Mingzhu, smiled and said, "Mingzhu, three years is too long, let's get married within 100 days."
Pei Mingzhu couldn't tell why, perhaps it was because Fu Yanchen's smile at that time was too much like the boy in her memory and the warm time they had spent together.
So, she agreed.
Just get married. Fu Yanchen is the one chosen by his father, and he is also the one she...chooses in her heart.
Therefore, she resolutely agreed to get married.
