Chapter 56 Crazy
The Fu family's manor in Xishan is located on the outskirts of Kyoto. Although it is called a manor, it is actually a garden covering an area of 78 acres.
Two days ago, while having supper, Ji Xia heard Aunt Lin tell him that this garden was built by a patriarch of the Fu family after he retired more than a hundred years ago. Since then, all weddings and funerals of the Fu family have been held there.
Aunt Lin also said with a smile that she and Mr. Fu would hold their wedding banquet there in the future.
Ji Xia knew that he and Mr. Fu would not get married, but he just listened silently and said nothing.
The car stopped at the gate of the manor. Ji Xia looked out the window and saw the words "Luming Garden" on the door.
He followed Mr. Fu into the garden, where he saw ancient buildings everywhere, similar to the old house, but larger.
The servants led them into the hall. Most of the relatives had arrived, all dressed in simple and elegant clothes.
Because Ji Xia is pregnant, she doesn't have many outfit choices.
Before leaving, Mr. Fu spent a long time choosing on the system page. He was finally given a moon-white gown with gorgeous flowers around the waist, which framed his pretty face, making him look like a handsome young man who was not worldly.
Fu Yuan was wearing a black suit with a stand-up collar, which gave him a military-like feel.
Alpha put his arm around Omega's waist and walked into the ancient-style hall, giving people the feeling of an officer and a rich young man from the Republic of China era, soft and strong, beautiful and tough. No matter who saw them, they would say they were a perfect match.
However, only the younger generation was fascinated by the show. The older relatives were not paying attention here. Their eyes were intentionally or unintentionally looking at Ji Xia's belly, with a look of shock on their faces as if they had been struck by lightning.
Previously, the news that Grandpa Fu and Grandpa Jiang transferred the company's shares to their great-grandsons and arranged blind dates for Omega caused a lot of controversy. The relatives just watched the fun and waited to see how the situation developed.
They knew full well that this great-grandson was the wishful thinking of the two elders. Fu Yuan was already more powerful than them. Forget giving him company shares, even if he were to hide him in that corner, if Fu Yuan didn't allow him to have a child, he wouldn't be able to be born.
Sure enough, within half a month, the blind date came to an end.
The news they received was that Fu Yuan had gone and taken Omega away.
If this is taken away, the child will definitely be gone!
Who would have thought that Fu Yuan would bring an Omega to celebrate the old man's 80th birthday today? Although the clothes were loose, they did a good job of covering the slightly protruding belly.
But from the side, it is still obvious that the Omega is pregnant.
The elders exchanged glances.
The aunt who had talked to Ji Xia in the chess and card room was elected again.
She sat across from Ji Xia, still in her plain cheongsam, holding a small plain fan that covered half of her face. She chuckled and said, "Hey, Xia Xia, congratulations. How many months has it been?"
Ji Xia had just sat down when she heard the question. She subconsciously touched her belly and replied in a very soft voice, "More than four months."
When he answered, the elders' eyes fell on Fu Yuan.
Fu Yuan didn't pay attention to the prying eyes and said to the servants behind him, "Tea is gone. Bring me a bowl of lotus seed and white fungus soup instead."
The aunt's heart skipped a beat. Fu Yuan's obvious attitude showed that he had acknowledged the child in her belly.
The other relatives also thought of this, and their faces were not very happy. They had coveted the Fu family's property for so long and wanted to get a piece of it.
The last time they tried to test this Omega, they thought it was impossible for her to get pregnant, but they didn't expect that they were too naive.
This Omega is really capable!
My aunt has been in the Fu family for more than 30 years. She has watched how Fu Yuan gradually rose to the position of the head of the Fu family, so she naturally knows his methods.
Since Fu Yuan has acknowledged this child, anyone who dares to touch him will think his life is too long.
Not to mention, the two elders behind the scenes are also looking forward to this great-grandson.
However, as early as the last time Little O appeared, she had sent people to investigate privately. This Omega was born in a humble family and only had a junior high school education. Apart from his good looks, he was completely useless.
He was sure that Mr. Fu would never let him in, and Fu Yuan had no intention of getting married at all.
Leaving the father and keeping the son is the inevitable result.
My aunt's eyes turned and a plan came to her mind.
The two elders prefer quiet and quiet, so they definitely can't take care of the child. Fu Yuan is busy with work, so he will definitely hire a professional nanny. Outsiders are always unreliable, especially since the child is the future heir of the Fu family, so he will definitely need a family member to look after him.
If she could be chosen and let the child be close to her, what difference would it make from getting the Fu family?
Just as she was lost in thought, pondering what she should do next to get the lucrative job of taking care of the child, she heard her brother-in-law beside her ask, "The baby is due in the second half of the year. When are you planning on having the wedding? With a big belly, the dress won't look so good. Should we wait until after the baby is born?"
Ji Xia curled his fingers slightly. He didn't want to answer the question. He wanted to say something to get away with it, but he didn't know how. In the end, he just lowered his head and mumbled "hmm".
The "hmm" was very soft. He didn't want Mr. Fu to hear it. He didn't want Mr. Fu to think that after wanting a baby, he wanted more.
He really had no intention of marrying Mr. Fu.
But Fu Yuan was sitting closest to him, so how could he not hear it? As soon as he finished speaking, Alpha spoke up, saying casually, "The date hasn't been set yet. I'll let you know when it's set."
Ji Xia felt relieved that Mr. Fu was not angry because he made a wrong identification.
He thought Mr. Fu was amazing. This answer was so useful. He silently repeated it several times in his mind and wrote it down so that if someone asked him again in the future, he could answer without thinking.
The expressions of my aunt and the relatives present suddenly changed. Fu Yuan's words were very clear. He was planning to marry this little O.
Everyone's eyes fell on Xiao O again, and their thoughts were unprecedentedly unified.
"Did this Omega save the galaxy in his past life?! Otherwise, how could he become a winner in life with such bad cards?"
No one was talking in the hall, and there was an eerie silence.
Ji Xia's dull perception didn't register any of this. He picked up the Tremella Soup the servant had just brought over and sipped it. Fu Yuan then asked the servant to bring some pastries, saying, "Eat some later if you're hungry."
Ji Xia whispered, "No one else is eating, so I'm the only one eating. Is that a bad idea?"
Fu Yuan: "No."
Ji Xia was still a little hesitant.
Fu Yuan glanced at everyone indifferently.
The relatives, with no conscience, hurriedly said: "We are just not hungry." "It's not bad at all." "You eat, it's not good if you don't eat"...
Jian Qinghe and Fu Su walked in at this time.
Fu Su was emaciated, his face pale and gloomy. Seeing everyone fawning over Ji Xia and ignoring him, he stared at Ji Xia with bloodshot eyes filled with hatred, as if he wanted to tear her apart.
Fu Yuan noticed the gaze and looked over coldly.
His face darkened and he spoke in a cold voice, "If you're not well yet, go back to your room."
Relatives all looked at him with disdain. He was divorced, kicked out of his husband's family, and had a miscarriage. No matter how you looked at it, Fu Su was a disgrace to their Fu family.
Fu Su's face turned ashen due to these words and the gaze he received.
His chest heaved violently, his eyes bloodshot, a frightening red. Why! Why on earth was he so miserable while Ji Xia was so prosperous?
Obviously, everything should be reversed. He is the protagonist of this world, and Ji Xia is just a cannon fodder like him, who should be trampled and ravaged to death.
The damn one should be Ji Xia!
Fu Su was overwhelmed by hatred, and just when he was about to rush over and strangle Ji Xia, Jian Qinghe beside him stopped him.
Jian Qinghe pulled him behind her, a gentle smile on her lips, and said, "Thank you for your concern, Yuan. Susu is much better now. Susu, come sit over there."
He used some effort to pull Fu Su to sit down.
The atmosphere in the hall fell into an awkward stagnation again. The atmosphere eased a little when several uncles and aunts forced themselves to talk about the recent accidental death of Zhao's father and the fight between several uncles and aunts of the Zhao family and the heir Zhao Kuo for the family property.
About five minutes later, Fu Xuan and Jiang Yishao walked into the hall hand in hand and sat on the main seats.
Jiang Yishao, dressed in a green robe, winked at Ji Xia mischievously, and Ji Xia responded with a sweet smile.
The Fu family has a tradition that when family members have birthdays that are integers, the younger generation needs to offer tea and say auspicious words to each of them, and the elder who is celebrating his birthday will be given a big red envelope.
As soon as Mr. Fu took his seat, the ceremony began.
The first person to offer tea was naturally Fu Yuan.
Fu Yuan stood up and extended his hand towards Ji Xia.
Ji Xia raised her hand and held Mr. Fu's hand, then was led to the two elders.
The Fu family has a very strict way of serving tea. Others are not qualified to do so. Only members of the Fu family can serve tea.
Although Fu Yuan had just said that the date had not been set, it had already hinted that he was planning to get married. But plans were just plans, and what would happen next was still uncertain.
But now that Fu Yuan brought people forward to offer tea, it also showed that the marriage would definitely take place.
The relatives held their breath and looked at Mr. Fu.
Back then, Fu Chen wanted to marry Jian Qinghe, but Old Master Fu always disagreed because of the family background. Although Jian Qinghe's family background was ordinary, it was still a family of scholars. But this Omega in front of him, with a gambling father, a poor mother, and a good-for-nothing junior high school graduate, was simply hard to describe.
There is no way Mr. Fu would agree to this marriage.
The relatives had a hunch that the grandfather and grandson were going to quarrel again.
However, it is better to make a fuss, because only by making a fuss can they take advantage of the opportunity and have the chance to get a piece of the pie.
Jian Qinghe looked at the Omega with gloomy eyes as he took the teacup from the servant's tray. Back then, he didn't have this opportunity even after he got married.
It was not until Fu Chen went crazy and was admitted to a nursing home, and Fu Yuan stated that he would not marry or have children, that he and Fu Su were qualified to be recognized as members of the Fu family and have tea served to them.
He curled up his lips into a sneer, waiting for the country boy O to be splashed with scalding tea all over his body and face.
He was the only one who knew how much Old Master Fu valued family background. Even if this little O was pregnant with the Fu family's only great-grandson, that couldn't change anything. This Omega, who had risen to power through sheer means, deserved a taste of his past humiliation.
Fu Su didn't expect that Fu Yuan would dare to bring Ji Xia forward to serve tea.
He had heard from his father that when his father was pregnant with him, Fu Chen brought his father here to serve tea, and his father was splashed with tea by Old Man Fu.
Mr. Fu said that my father came from a humble family and was not worthy of entering his Fu family.
Now this homeless country Omega will be beaten even worse.
He was in an extremely cheerful mood and stared intently without blinking so as not to miss the show.
Ji Xia held the teacup and handed it over nervously.
He imitated Mr. Fu and said something auspicious: "I wish Grandpa good fortune as vast as the East Sea and a long life as long as the Southern Mountains."
Everyone stared at Mr. Fu as he reached out to take the teacup, thinking to themselves, it's about to be spilled!
One second, two seconds... many seconds passed and nothing happened.
Mr. Fu naturally reached out to take the teacup and took a sip of tea. His usually stern face showed a rare hint of joy.
He placed the largest red envelope on the table in Ji Xia's hand and said with a pleasant face, "Be good. Live a good life with A Yuan from now on."
Ji Xia's ears turned slightly red as she said, "Grandpa, I will."
Relatives:? ?
According to the plot, wouldn't it be a grandparents feud, with bloodshed and chaos? What's with this harmonious scene?! This little O is so amazing, he even conquered the old man!
There was an expression of disbelief on Jian Qinghe's face, and then a strong hatred appeared in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.
Fu Su was not as cunning as him. He could not accept that his grandfather let this country boy O in so easily, so he stood up suddenly and started to make a fuss.
But Jian Qinghe was quicker. After holding his hand, he stood up and said with a smile, "It's our turn."
Mr. Fu looked stern. He took the tea that Fu Su handed over but didn't drink it. He said coldly, "You need to change your temper. You'll leave next month and go study abroad for a few more years."
If he goes abroad, he will have no chance of getting any of the Fu family's property.
Fu Su was so unwilling that he started to yell. "Grandpa, I won't go. I won't go abroad. Grandpa, you're too partial. Why do you give everything to Fu Yuan..."
Jian Qinghe quickly covered Fu Su's mouth.
"Bang" was the sound of the teacup breaking.
Mr. Fu said coldly, "Jian Qinghe, take care of your son."
Jian Qinghe said gently, "Father, please don't be angry with Susu. He has been through too much recently and his emotions have lost control. I will arrange for him to go abroad."
Mr. Fu's expression was frighteningly cold. He turned his palms inward and made a gesture to go down.
Jian Qinghe didn't dare to let Fu Su stay here and make trouble any longer, so he took his men and left first.
The direct lineage has only one heir, and the population is very small, and the rest are collateral lines.
The Alphas in the collateral lineages generally have several mistresses and illegitimate children. Waiting for them to finish offering tea can take at least an hour.
Ji Xia sat on the hard pearwood chair and soon felt a little uncomfortable in his waist. He quietly changed several postures but still felt uncomfortable.
Just as he changed his sitting position, a hand suddenly came to his waist. The large palm supported his waist and pressed his waist with just the right strength.
Mr. Fu's low voice rang in his ears. "Will this be better?"
Ji Xia felt his waist was much more comfortable. He nodded and said, "Yeah, it's not sore anymore. Thank you, Mr. Fu. I'm fine now."
Fu Yuan didn't take his hand back. "We'll have to sit for another hour or so. Are you hungry? Have a snack."
I had to take a bus here this morning, so Ji Xia got up early and ate early, so I'm a little hungry now.
He glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he picked up a piece of cake and started eating.
After eating, he asked, "Mr. Fu, are your hands sore? I'm much better now. You don't need to massage me anymore."
Fu Yuan took his hand off Ji Xia's waist, but did not retract it. Instead, he placed it in front of the Omega and said in a faint voice, "It's sour."
Ji Xia immediately held Mr. Fu's hands in both hands, placed them on her knees and massaged Alpha's wrists and palms.
Everyone present seemed focused on the tea ceremony, but in reality, their attention was focused on the couple's movements. Upon hearing Fu Yuan's bland "sour" word, they nearly dropped their jaws.
The Alphas of the Fu family have been undergoing extremely intense physical training since childhood, and the training for those in power is even more terrifying. When did they become so squeamish?!
When they only dared to talk in their hearts and didn't dare to say anything.
Mr. Fu pretended not to see it.
Jiang Yishao was so bored that he had to sit for the whole morning. He couldn't help but smile when he saw the interaction between the young couple.
After the tea ceremony, Fu Xuan and Jiang Yishao left the hall.
There was nothing to do in the afternoon, just waiting to attend the birthday party in the evening. As soon as Ji Xia stood up from her chair, several Omega uncles and aunts came over to greet her, their enthusiasm a little too much.
The relatives already knew clearly the attitudes of Mr. Fu and Fu Yuan, but in just one morning, they had given up the idea of letting their son inherit the Fu family.
If you can't get the power, then just share the small profits.
The granddaughter-in-law of the Fu family was a powerful figure, and making friends with her would definitely bring more benefits than disadvantages. They all rushed over, fearing that if they were a step slower, they would lose the opportunity.
Ji Xia was completely at a loss, unable to withstand the sudden surge of enthusiasm. Fortunately, Mr. Fu dispersed the crowd and took him away.
When they came out, it was drizzling outside. Fu Yuan held Ji Xia's hand and walked under the corridor.
The misty garden landscape has a hazy beauty, like a fairyland on earth.
Fu Yuan stopped and asked Ji Xia, who had been walking with her head covered, to look outside. Ji Xia looked outside and was first dazzled by the beautiful scenery. Then her eyes fell on a tree in the corner of the wall, and suddenly her eyes lit up.
"Mr. Fu, that bunch of hanging bayberries is so big."
Fu Yuan paused, then turned around to see the Omega, who looked eager to try. He tilted his head and asked, "Mr. Fu, can I pick some and eat them?"
Fu Yuan's eyes were filled with a helpless smile, and he said, "Okay."
Ji Xia's eyebrows curved and he rolled up his sleeves and was about to go over.
Fu Yuan held him back and asked him to wait there, while he personally went over and picked down the branch with the big bayberries.
Ji Xia took it excitedly, counting the bayberries as he followed Mr. Fu into the yard. As he was about to turn the corner, he didn't notice the person rushing towards him and nearly bumped into him.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Fu Yuan hugged his waist and held him sideways to move away, but he did not hold the bayberry firmly in his hand and threw it out directly, hitting the person who came.
Fu Su slipped on a piece of fruit peel on the ground at the corner. Without a human cushion in front of him, he fell flat on his face.
His knees and wrists were all rubbed raw, a little blood seeping out, and the fallen bayberries were pressed by him, the juice all over his body. He looked extremely miserable.
Ji Xia came out of Mr. Fu's arms. Although he didn't like Fu Su, he felt pity for the man who had fallen so badly in front of him. He stretched out his hand to Fu Su and said, "Are you okay? Be more careful next time."
Fu Su raised his head with difficulty. He didn't expect that after planning for a long time to get rid of Ji Xia's child, he failed and fell so miserably.
He gritted his teeth unwillingly, and when he saw Ji Xia's outstretched hand, a vicious look flashed in his eyes.
Just as he was about to reach out and pull Ji Xia down, Fu Yuan grabbed Ji Xia's waist and pulled her back a few steps.
Fu Yuan said in a cold voice, "He can get up by himself."
Ji Xia said, "He fell pretty badly."
Fu Yuan led the group to another path and said, "It's okay. You can get up on your own if you don't faint."
Fu Su: ………………
He struggled to get up, his eyes becoming even darker and more resentful.
He heard footsteps behind him. Fu Su turned around and before he could see the face of the person coming, he was slapped hard.
Jian Qinghe changed her meek appearance in front of others. Her eyes were sharp and her expression was gloomy as she said, "How many times do I have to tell you before you can change your impulsiveness? What on earth were you thinking about that stupid plan just now? How could I have given birth to such an idiot like you!"
Fu Su's eyes were red, and he yelled out of control, "What do you want me to do? Ji Xia took away everything from me. Everything that originally belonged to me was taken away by him. I am obviously the protagonist of this world..."
Jian Qinghe interrupted him harshly. "Speak louder! Let everyone know. Then it won't just be sending you abroad; Fu Yuan will send you to a mental hospital. Let's talk inside."
Fu Su shrank back, shut his mouth, and followed Jian Qinghe back to their yard.
As soon as he entered the room, he grabbed Jian Qinghe's arm and said, "Dad, I don't want to go abroad. Once I go abroad, all the patience I've endured over the years will be in vain! Dad, you are so powerful. Back then, you were able to trick Fu Yuan into forcing Qiu Qinghe to commit suicide. You must have a way to kill that little bitch Ji Xia now, right? Dad, please help me."
Jian Qinghe waved his hand away, sat on the sofa, and said unhappily, "If you had listened to me and stayed calm, not divorced Jiao Mubai, and given birth to the child first, at least you would still be the Jiao family's young lady. We at least still have some power. Now we have nothing, how can we fight Fu Yuan?"
Fu Su said, "Dad, believe me. As long as Ji Xia leaves Fu Yuan, Fu Yuan will die. Once Fu Yuan dies, everything in the Fu family will be ours."
Jian Qinghe looked at Fu Su with obscure eyes.
Ever since he fell down the stairs at the Jiao family's house, Fu Su has always said that the world they live in is a book. He was originally the male protagonist in the book. After marrying Jiao Mubai, he used the power of the Jiao family to bring down Fu Yuan.
Later, Fu Yuan died of pheromone disorder, and they got all the wealth of the Fu family.
Although it does sound absurd, if you think about it carefully, if the Omega named Ji Xia had not appeared, all this would not be impossible.
He was silent for a moment and said, "Are you sure that as long as you get Ji Xia away from Fu Yuan, Fu Yuan will die."
Fu Su actually had no idea. He only remembered that before he woke up, a mechanical voice told him that his halo as the protagonist would soon disappear completely. If he wanted to change, he had to eliminate unexpected factors.
As long as the unexpected factors are eliminated, the will of the small world will resume normal operation and the plot will return to normal.
The only unexpected factor in the book is Ji Xia. He was not supposed to stay with Fu Yuan, but was abducted by several Alphas and eventually died.
He strongly wanted to take back what belonged to him, so he said with certainty: "Dad, I am really sure that as long as Ji Xia disappears from Fu Yuan's side, I will be able to regain the halo of the protagonist. This little world will revolve around me, and I will get everything."
Jian Qinghe was silent for a long time, then said, "Susu, in Dad's opinion, the current situation is impossible to reverse. If we stop now, at least we father and son can have enough food and clothing. Even though there was no evidence of the last time I tampered with the medicine, the old man took back a lot of power from me. Fu Yuan has a son now, and he no longer needs us. If we do anything that is detrimental to Fu Yuan and the Fu family bloodline, and then don't get any rights, what awaits us will be eternal damnation."
Fu Su's face revealed a frenzied expression. He said, "Dad, are you really willing to endure such a long period of suffering, pretending to be docile in front of that old man for ten years, only to get nothing in the end, and then have to keep humiliating yourself at the mercy of a country boy named O? When you saw Grandpa accept the tea from that country boy this morning, didn't you feel resentful?"
Jian Qinghe's jawline was tightly clenched, and those thoughts based on rationality were suddenly overwhelmed by resentment, and his whole face became gloomy in an instant.
