Chapter 514 Don’t be afraid, I’m here
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.
Simply "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 and the Fu family no longer had any contact. The child marriage was just a joke back then... For the past four years, there has been no contact between the two families... How come Fu Yanchen... Fu Yanchen... is here?"
As soon as the words fell.
A man in a black suit 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 too afraid to even speak loudly.
Fu Yanchen walked to the front and took three incense sticks from the butler.
Others attending the funeral only 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 said two of them 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 again, 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 say that Fu Yanchen started his career in Hong Kong and has a very dirty background. He will do anything illegal as long as he can make money.
Then, relying on the capital accumulated from the original accumulation, he returned 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 regard Fu Yanchen as a living devil. No one dares to offend him, for fear that Fu Yanchen will be cruel and ruthless and stab them in the back.
There are many similar rumors...
Everyone was talking about how much 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 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 face has not changed much, but 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 suppressed the soreness and heat in her eyes and nodded slightly at Fu Yanchen.
Fu Yanchen's appearance alone 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, has to wear mourning clothes for Pei's father.
There were many exclamations from the people around.
Fu Yanchen was not affected at all. He took off his suit jacket, put on mourning clothes, and stood beside Pei Mingzhu.
Before Pei Mingzhu could react at all, a figure appeared beside her.
Fu Yanchen looked at the group of jackals, tigers and leopards, and 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, 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 declared, "From now on, the Pei family's affairs are my, Fu Yanchen's affairs. Uncles, please think carefully before you act or speak. Don't let me hear anything I don't like, or else don't blame me for being rude.
The group of people who had been so arrogant towards Pei Mingzhu before were now groveling in front of Fu Yanchen, and kept saying "How could this... 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."
The last time Pei Mingzhu's mother passed away, the young Fu Yanchen also said the same thing, 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 family member of the deceased, doing everything he could.
Because of Fu Yanchen's appearance, the entire funeral was grand and dignified. Some uncles and aunts who originally looked down on Pei Mingzhu showed up later and burned incense and paid their respects.
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 helped me a lot. In the future—"
Fu Yanchen's voice interrupted Pei Mingzhu's next words. The man continued to talk to himself, as if he didn't notice Pei Mingzhu's refusal.
"I asked the housekeeper, and he said that according to custom, I must get married within a hundred days, otherwise I have to wait 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 a hundred days."
Pei Mingzhu couldn't explain 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 also the one she...chooses in her heart.
Therefore, she resolutely agreed to get married.
