Sun Meifen was already angry, and seeing Fu Chengwei's foolish appearance only made her more annoyed.
Needless to say, Fu Qingyan had absolutely no feelings for this stepfather. If it weren't for Fu Chengwei offering her the title of a Fu family heiress and the promise of wealth and luxury, she would never have acknowledged a fool as her father!
"Alright, alright, it's nothing!" Sun Meifen sighed and waved her hand impatiently. "Go do what you're supposed to do, don't just wander around here!"
Fu Chengwei scratched his head, turned around blankly and walked away, glancing back at the two of them every now and then, seemingly worried.
"Is it that brat Huo Zhixing again? If he's messed with you two, tell me, and I'll go find my sister!"
"Alright, enough with the nonsense!" Sun Meifen glared at him.
Fu Chengwei pouted, looking at his wife with a somewhat aggrieved expression.
Sun Meifen calmed down and suddenly realized that what he said earlier made a lot of sense. Why didn't she let him go to his sister?
Instead of letting the mother and daughter sulk here, they should make a big scene.
Thinking of this, Sun Meifen changed her expression, smilingly took Fu Chengwei's arm, and pulled him to sit on the sofa.
“Husband…” Sun Meifen gently massaged his shoulders, “Look, Qingyan isn’t young anymore, but she still doesn’t have anything serious to do. She filmed two movies before, but they didn’t make much of a splash…”
"Oh, do you still want to make movies?" Fu Chengwei's voice was deep, loud, and full of energy. "No problem! Qingyan, what other movies do you want to make? Dad will pay for them!"
Sun Meifen's face lit up with joy, but she quickly suppressed her urge to speak, saying, "Filming movies is one thing, but more importantly, I think our daughter should gain some experience in a company. The Fu Group's media conglomerate is so large, surely there's a suitable position for Qingyan?"
“Honey, this is what I’m thinking… Our daughter is, after all, from a well-to-do family. Of course, she should become a movie queen, but it’s also essential for her to have a place in the company, right?”
"Her being able to work in the company is a source of pride for you!"
Fu Chengwei thought for a moment, his brow furrowing slightly.
"But... my sister said long ago that Qingyan is not allowed to work in the company!"
"You!" Sun Meifen had expected him to say that.
However, she was prepared, and glared at him angrily, saying, "Fu Chengwei, you listen to your sister in everything! You might as well just live with your sister!"
"Wife, this..."
"I knew it! You heartless bastard, you never care about my daughter and me!" Sun Meifen started wailing. "Fu Chengwei, how much suffering and scorn I endured after marrying you? You used to be so obedient to me, but why did you become a coward as soon as your nephew came back?"
"If Qingyan and I really become too much of a burden in this house, then my daughter and I will leave! Isn't there anywhere in the world for us to go?"
Fu Chengwei hurriedly stepped forward and pulled her away: "Wife, don't be angry! I... I was wrong, okay!"
Sun Meifen didn't turn around, she just kept wiping away her tears.
"Alright!" Fu Chengwei pondered for a moment, "If Qingyan wants to join the company, then let her join!"
"Really?" Sun Meifen glanced at him sideways. "What if Fu Xiuyu doesn't allow it?"
"That's easy! I'll make a scene with my sister and see if she dares to disagree."
"Husband, you're so wonderful!" Sun Meifen smiled through her tears and gave him a big kiss on the cheek.
Fu Qingyan, who was standing to the side, got goosebumps, pursed her lips, and turned her head away from them.
"Oh, right, honey, there's one more thing..."
"What's wrong?"
Taking advantage of his good mood, Sun Meifen quickly mentioned Tang Yilan.
"It's that female director of Chinese-language films, who's always worked under your sister. She's here at headquarters for further training, and I'd like Qingyan to meet her!"
“No problem at all!” Fu Chengwei agreed immediately.
Sun Meifen looked at Fu Qingyan, and the two exchanged a glance, revealing smug smiles.
...
As soon as Fu Xiuyu returned to Manchester, a grand welcome banquet awaited her.
She knew it was Sun Meifen's idea.
Although Sun Meifen had been plotting behind the scenes all these years, she always appeared submissive and humble on the surface. Fu Xiuyu, on the other hand, was an impatient person. To outsiders, the impression she gave was that the domineering older sister-in-law always had various reasons to make things difficult for her powerless younger sister-in-law, while the good-tempered younger sister-in-law was always tolerant of her older sister-in-law, like a saint.
So Fu Xiuyu was furious. What kind of welcoming banquet was this? It was clearly a trap!
However, Jiang Can said, "Mom, you should attend this banquet. Grandpa will definitely show up. Even if you dislike Aunt, you have to give Grandpa face!"
"Besides, even if it's a trap, with me and Zhixing here, what do you have to be afraid of?"
Fu Xiuyu smiled and obediently listened to her daughter-in-law. On the day of the banquet, she dressed up and attended.
She was already the focus of the entire Fu family, and now she had a pregnant daughter-in-law by her side who was just as beautiful and outstanding as her. Others could only envy her.
Sun Meifen, in particular, practically had the word "jealousy" written all over her face.
"Mom!" Fu Qingyan walked over and stared intently at Fu Xiuyu. "When Auntie comes over later, you have to ask Director Tang about that movie for me!"
“Okay, I understand.” Sun Meifen downed her red wine in one gulp, while secretly plotting something else.
Whether it's the company or the movie, it's best to get Fu Chengwei to speak up.
And she...
Of course, the first thing to do is to sow discord between this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!
Sun Meifen gave a cold smile and hurriedly went to greet Fu Xiuyu and Jiang Can as they approached.
"Big sister, Can Can!"
Jiang Can was startled and before she could react, Sun Meifen grabbed her hand. "Oh, Can Can, pregnancy must be tough, right? Heh, I can feel how much weight you've lost!"
"It's alright," Jiang Can said with a polite smile. "Thank you for your concern, Aunt."
"Now that your belly is so big, it must be difficult for you to move around."
"It's not that it's inconvenient, it's just a bit slower than before."
"Ah...hahaha!" Sun Meifen laughed as if afraid no one would hear her. "It doesn't matter if you go slowly, Zhixing will help you!"
"I heard that you two often...do some exercise at home?" Sun Meifen deliberately raised her voice.
"Exercise?" Fu Xiuyu was taken aback. "What kind of exercise?"
"Oh, sister, don't speak so loudly!" Sun Meifen grinned mischievously. "What kind of sport could that young couple possibly do? Of course, it's that... ahahaha!"
Her laughter drew the attention of those around her. Jiang Can blushed, feeling somewhat embarrassed, as if a heavy stone was lodged in her heart. She stared straight at her.
No mother-in-law in the world wants her daughter-in-law to cling to her son all the time, especially when the daughter-in-law is heavily pregnant.
Being shameless is a woman's biggest mistake!
Sun Meifen raised her eyebrows, looking at the expressionless Fu Xiuyu, waiting for the next good show.
