The cold-faced lawyer who was a force to be reckoned with in the business world became a meticulous and patient caregiver at home.
Lu Yuwu seemed to have grown up a lot overnight. She no longer just immersed herself in her own little world like before, but took the initiative to take on household chores within her ability. She even learned to make soup and some light dishes that Shang Wu liked from the family's housekeeper.
Although the food she cooked might not taste perfect, sometimes too salty and sometimes too bland, Shang Wu would always finish it all, with a satisfied and gratified smile on her face.
Watching her daughter's clumsy yet earnest figure bustling about in the kitchen in her apron, she felt that it was sweeter than any delicacy.
Fu Yan was young and in good health, so his wounds healed quickly.
Not long after the stitches were removed, he and his mother, Madam Fu, came to visit the Lu family.
Madam Fu brought many precious tonics, held Shang Wu's hand, and inquired about her recovery with concern, her tone sincere and warm.
"Seeing your complexion getting better every day, I can finally put my mind at ease," Madam Fu said sincerely, patting Shang Wu's hand.
After chatting for a while, Madam Fu changed the subject, her gaze sweeping over Lu Yuwu, who was sitting quietly next to Shang Wu peeling an apple, and then looking at her son, who was sitting silently to the side but whose eyes were always following Lu Yuwu. A serious expression appeared on her face.
"Awu, Lu Rang, I've come today not only to visit you, but also to discuss something important with you."
Madam Fu sat up straight, her tone becoming more formal. "After this incident, the two children have truly gone through thick and thin together, and we, as their elders, are relieved. So, his father and I discussed it and decided to hold the engagement ceremony for the two children as soon as possible, to put our minds at ease and bring them some joy. What do you think?"
Shang Wu and Lu Rang exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with smiles.
They had already tacitly accepted this matter, and now that Madam Fu had formally brought it up, they naturally had no objections.
“We have no objection, as long as the two children are willing,” Lu Rang said calmly.
"I do!"
Lu Yuwu immediately raised her head, her cheeks slightly flushed, but her eyes were bright and sparkling. She answered quickly and loudly, which made everyone laugh.
Fu Yan looked at her, his eyes filled with tenderness and doting affection.
"Good, good!" Mrs. Fu smiled broadly, gesturing to the lawyer behind her. The lawyer immediately took a document from his briefcase and respectfully handed it to Shang Wu and Lu Rang on the coffee table.
"This is……"
Shang Wu was somewhat puzzled.
Mrs. Fu's smile faded, her expression turning serious: "This is a prenuptial agreement, decided upon after discussions between his father and me. It states that after their marriage, all shares and real estate under Fu Yan's name, as well as all the Fu family shares and real estate he will inherit in the future, will be converted into marital property, and..."
She paused, her gaze sharpening as she looked at her son, then at Shang Wu and Lu Rang, and said, word by word, "The agreement includes a clause stating that if Fu Yan ever wrongs Xiao Wu in the future, including but not limited to infidelity, domestic violence, or anything that seriously harms Xiao Wu's physical or mental well-being, then he must leave with nothing! Everything he owns will be automatically and unconditionally transferred to Xiao Wu's name! Our Fu family will not tolerate any betrayal or harm!"
These words demonstrate the Fu family's utmost sincerity and determination in seeking to marry Lu Yuwu!
The living room fell silent instantly.
Lu Yuwu covered her mouth in shock, looking at Madam Fu in disbelief, then at Fu Yan.
Fu Yan was clearly hearing this additional clause for the first time.
He paused for a moment, then looked at Lu Yuwu. His eyes showed no sign of offense or displeasure, but rather were filled with composure and determination, as if to say: This is the guarantee I should give.
Shang Wu and Lu Rang were also completely moved.
They knew the Fu family valued their daughter, but they never expected it to be to this extent.
This agreement essentially staked the entire Fu family's future on their daughter's happiness.
"This...this is too serious..." Shang Wu couldn't help but say.
"No, this is a must." Madam Fu's attitude was firm. "This is the Fu family's sincerity and guarantee for our future daughter-in-law. I want Xiaowu to know that she is not alone when she marries into our Fu family. She has the entire Fu family backing her up! No one can bully her!"
She took Lu Yuwu's hand and placed the heavy agreement in her hands.
"Xiao Wu, keep this safe. If Fu Yan ever acts recklessly in the future, just take this and kick him out! Everything in the Fu family is yours!"
