Chapter 195 Thunderbolt, Young Master Fu's Fiancée
As Fu Feng spoke, his brows were furrowed and his expression was unusually serious. He felt a headache coming on as he thought about how the Gu family had been frequently coming to the Fu Group to demand an end to the deal.
"Go and see who's been in charge of the Gu family lately."
If necessary, Fu Heng wouldn't mind going to the Gu family in person, but it's not the right time yet. If what Fu Feng said is true, and Cai Feng and A Xin have joined forces to covet the Gu family, then he must find out the truth and discuss it with Gu Mingxia before deciding on the final course of action.
Because of Gu Mingxia, he now has to consider her feelings in everything he does, no matter how much grudge she has with the Gu family, it is still her home after all.
"Okay. But, third brother, are you really going to give up on Gu Mingxia like this?"
Fu Feng looked at Fu Heng with a serious expression, but still managed to ask the gossip that had been on his mind. After hearing it, the brothers all smiled with their lips pursed.
"If you used this gossipy mindset on the company, you would definitely achieve something."
He glared at Fu Feng unhappily. After hearing his words, the brothers immediately lost their gossipy mood, and one by one, they put away their smiles and looked left and right. Fu Feng, on the other hand, was a little embarrassed and coughed a few times.
"Then you should rest for a while, Third Brother. I'm going back to look up some information."
"That's true. Third Brother, you're very capable, and you take care of the company's affairs quite a bit, so we won't bother you any longer."
The four brothers fled the study as if they were escaping. Fu Heng smiled, shook his head helplessly, picked up the water glass in front of him, and sat alone in the large study, leisurely drinking water.
Cai Feng is quite an interesting person; he actually harbors ambitions to take over the Gu Group. Knowing full well that A Xin is the daughter of the Gu family, he still dares to cooperate with her. Fu Heng admires him for that.
After hesitating for a while, Fu Hongchang still took Yang Jingyi to South Africa, and Fu Ziyu went to France to participate in a fashion design competition. The Fu family was left with only five brothers. During dinner that night, the men, having been provoked by Fu Heng's words, ate their meals in silence and quickly.
Why is everyone so quiet tonight?
"No, we're all thinking about how to become more capable so we can help you, Third Brother, share the burden of the company."
Fu Rong, holding his rice bowl, looked at Fu Heng seriously. After being told this, Fu Heng put down his rice bowl, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and smiled slightly at the group.
"So you guys are all so enlightened! Now that you mention it, I might as well start preparing for early retirement."
"No, Third Brother, the capable should do more. You really need to keep a closer eye on this company. Besides, you wouldn't want to see people like us who aren't capable enough managing the Fu Group being bullied, would you?"
Fu Ya immediately began to flatter Fu Heng, who looked helplessly at the four brothers and finally sighed.
"You guys are betraying your brothers! Since we were little, you've always made me stand up for you. During exams, you deliberately left questions blank so I'd get first place. Sigh, you all know how to hide your talents, but I'm the only fool! Sigh, these days you really have to be wary of your brothers!"
The four brothers exchanged a smile. The Fu Group is so big, being a small manager or director wouldn't be too easy, would it?
Who would be so foolish as to become a CEO? If you make money, the shareholders won't thank you. If you lose money, they'll look at you like you're their mortal enemy.
Such a large family business needs someone to inherit it. Don't be fooled by Fu Heng's current domineering CEO persona; he was definitely an honest child when he was young and always obeyed his older brothers.
"Third brother, that's because you're too honest. Alas, honest children always suffer, it's a pity you realized this too late."
Fu Ya ruthlessly rubbed salt into Fu Heng's aching heart. Fu Heng looked at his brothers and sighed helplessly.
"In that case, I won't be managing the company anymore. You know, the president is just setting the direction for the company's development. From now on, you senior managers will have to work harder. I need to be smart and enjoy the good life more!"
"Ah...no, Mr. Heng, isn't this a bit too cruel!"
The four brothers immediately wailed, but Fu Heng clearly ignored their words. He elegantly put down his water glass, got up and walked to the living room.
"The company can't be managed by me alone. We're both from the Fu family, so let's take turns being president from now on. That would be fairer."
"Third brother, this..."
"Third Young Master, there's a girl looking for you outside."
"Girl? Do you know her?"
"I don't know her, but she looks very pretty. She said that President Heng wouldn't know her, but her grandfather knew the old master. When the Third Young Master was three years old, they were engaged to each other, so... she said she was the Third Young Master's fiancée."
Pfft... Fiancée, what kind of creature is this?
Fu Heng choked on a mouthful of water, his face turned slightly red, and he coughed a few times. The elegance that had always graced his face vanished at this moment.
"Who did she say she was?"
"The third young master of the Fu family's fiancée!" The four brothers answered Fu Heng's question in unison. Fu Feng sat down next to Fu Heng, his face clearly showing amusement. "Congratulations, third brother, you're going to be the first person in the Fu family to get married!"
"Yes, congratulations!"
"Ahem..." Fu Heng coughed awkwardly a few times. When did he get a fiancée? Was it arranged for him by the old man when he was alive? This was a bit too absurd! However, he couldn't deny it; he had to meet the girl and see what she really wanted. "Bring her in first!"
The four brothers sat down on the sofa opposite Fu Heng without moving, as if in perfect unison. How could they possibly miss such a good opportunity to see their boss make a fool of himself? So, one by one, they sat upright, but their faces were filled with schadenfreude. Fu Heng simply shook his head and didn't say anything, because he knew that it would be useless to say anything, so why waste his energy on something pointless?
Soon, the maid led in a girl wearing a white tracksuit and with her hair tied in a high ponytail.
Fu Heng sized up the girl who came in. She was about 1.75 meters tall, with a well-proportioned figure and a wheat-colored complexion that made her look exceptionally pleasant.
"You came to see me?"
The girl stood in the living room, accepting the scrutiny of the five brothers, without showing any embarrassment. After hearing Fu Heng's question, she smiled, her two big dimples looking exceptionally sweet.
“Yes, my grandfather told me that when you were three years old and I was one year old, he arranged a marriage between us. Now that my grandfather is seriously ill, he hopes to see you and me get married. So, I came here specifically to find you and bring you back to Foshan to get married.”
Having a fiancée was already enough to shock Fu Heng, but now she's walking in the door and saying she wants him to marry her. This... is progressing way too fast!
"Ahem... Miss, I don't think we're a good match. I... we..."
"You dislike me?"
The girl frowned, and the smile on her face disappeared. She stared at Fu Heng intently. She had come all the way to Xiangcheng to find him, and she hadn't complained about his thin, pale face. And he actually said it wasn't suitable. Humph!
"That's not what I meant. What I meant was... I don't even know your name, and we don't know each other well. Besides, how can you take what the older generation says as a joke seriously?"
“My name is Liu Qianhua. You’ll understand once you get to know me. Why can’t we take the words of the older generation seriously? My grandfather always kept his word. If you have any complaints, just say so. There’s no need to say such disrespectful things to an elder!”
“Miss Liu, my... our old master has been gone for many years. You say we have a marriage contract, but who can be a witness?”
"Yes, it's possible!"
Liu Qianhua took out a photo from her bag. The four brothers, upon hearing that there was evidence, snatched the photo away before it even reached Fu Heng's hands.
"Haha...Third Brother, is that doll on the screen really you?!"
"Yes, it's the same as the one at home!"
Fu Heng frowned, his elegance vanishing. He stood up and snatched the photo from Fu Bo's hand, giving the four brothers a fierce glare as he did so.
The photo shows a naked little boy sitting in a bathtub, with a little girl in a bib clinging to the edge of the tub next to him. Behind them sit two elderly people, one of whom is the patriarch of the Fu family.
He was certain that the little boy in the photo was indeed himself, and without a doubt, the little girl in the photo was Liu Qianhua standing right in front of him.
Fu Heng rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit of a headache. Even after the old master passed away, he was still restless, leaving him with such a troublesome matter.
"This is just an old couple taking a photo with a child; it can't be considered proof that we're engaged!"
"Look at the back!"
Liu Qianhua frowned, her eyes filled with displeasure. It was as if she was eager to marry him! If her grandfather hadn't forced her to come, she would never have come to marry this spoiled rich kid!
Upon opening the photo, there was indeed a line of text on the back. After seeing the text and the old man's signature, Fu Heng's face turned extremely ugly.
"Third Brother, what's on the back of the photo?"
"Yes, let's all see!"
Just as Fu Heng was about to put the photos away, Fu Feng snatched them away. He felt that his elegant image was really going to be ruined.
"A childhood photo of Fu Heng and Liu Qianhua. This photo serves as proof that Fu Heng must marry Liu Qianhua after he comes of age. Written by Fu Yuntian!"
After Fu Feng finished reading, the four brothers burst into laughter. Liu Qianhua looked at the smiling faces of the group and felt even more displeased.
"What's so funny! Do you think I want to marry this skinny pretty boy? If it weren't for Grandpa... you good-for-nothing rich kids, ptooey... I wouldn't even give you a second glance!"
