Why, number 196? What did I do to deserve this?
"You mean you look down on my third brother?"
Fu Ya pointed at Liu Qianhua with an incredulous expression. His third brother was the dream husband of every woman in Xiangcheng. But this plain-faced, flat-chested woman in sportswear dared to look down on his perfect third brother. It was a huge joke!
"What's so good about him? He's pale and skinny, looks malnourished. Why would I be interested in him?"
Liu Qianhua looked Fu Heng up and down, her eyes clearly filled with disdain and contempt. The four brothers all gaped, their faces pale and their bodies thin and frail. Was she really talking about the most perfect man in their Fu family?
If even the perfect CEO Heng is described like this, how would she belittle her four brothers in her eyes?
Fu Rong thought about it and decided it was best not to think about it. He breathed a long sigh of relief, extremely grateful that the old man hadn't arranged such a betrothal for him while he was alive, otherwise he felt he would definitely go crazy!
"You...you're talking about me?"
Although Fu Heng wasn't narcissistic, he absolutely refused to believe he was the person Liu Qianhua described. While his complexion wasn't the currently fashionable bronze, it wasn't that pale, fragile kind either. He had a normal skin tone, wasn't he? And he was skinny, wasn't he? Despite his busy work schedule, he consistently went to the gym three times a week. Besides, he had the typical physique of someone who looked slim in clothes but had a muscular build underneath. How could he have become such an unsightly man in the eyes of this inexplicably appearing Liu Qianhua?
"Does the Fu family have two Fu Hengs?"
Liu Qianhua utterly despised Fu Heng for his idiotic questions, which was evident in the way she looked at him when she said those words.
"Ahem... Alright, since we don't like each other, let's just call it a doll-in-the-wild... ahem, a doll-in-the-wild marriage, that way, we won't end up disliking each other later!"
"Do you think I don't want this? I'm a well-known figure in Foshan, and now I've been forced into a fiancé position. Do you think I'm happy about this? What's even more infuriating is that I've been labeled a gold digger!"
Liu Qianhua felt a surge of displeasure when she thought about how she was ridiculed for being materialistic because of Fu Heng.
Although she wasn't from a wealthy family, she came from a middle-class family, okay? Just because she was inexplicably arranged into a marriage when she was young, she'd been ridiculed since her teens for being sold by the Liu family to the Fu family in exchange for a hefty dowry. That wasn't true at all!
"You...don't want to marry my third brother? Don't want to marry into the Fu family?"
Fu Bo stared wide-eyed, his face full of disbelief. Could there really be a woman in this world who didn't want to marry into the Fu family? Either this woman was an excellent actress, or she genuinely didn't want to marry Fu Heng.
"Why would I want to marry him? Why do I have to marry into the Fu family? You guys are really funny, as if every woman wants to marry into a wealthy family. Is being rich always good? Is being poor always unhappy?"
Liu Qianhua glanced at the five brothers with disdain. Fu Heng coughed, and his expression changed from initial panic to his usual elegance and gentleness.
"Since you are unwilling to marry me or break off the engagement, what do you intend to do?"
Fu Heng stood opposite Liu Qianhua, a smile playing on his lips, and gently asked her.
“My grandfather is seriously ill now, and the doctor said he doesn’t have much time left. I don’t want to disappoint him, so I came to Xiangcheng to find you and me to hold a wedding in Foshan, so that my grandfather will not have any regrets.”
Upon hearing Liu Qianhua's words, Fu Feng frowned slightly, a thoughtful expression in his eyes, but he remained seated on the sofa with a serious expression.
"Marriage is a very serious matter, and I...can't do it."
He couldn't marry another woman while Gu Mingxia was still in his heart; no matter the reason, it was absolutely impossible.
“I’m not asking you to actually marry me, I just want to have a wedding so that Grandpa can pass away peacefully. After Grandpa passes away, we will have no relationship whatsoever.”
Liu Qianhua hurriedly explained that although she disliked the person in front of her, the thought of her frail grandfather waiting for her in the hospital filled her eyes with pleading and helplessness.
Fu Heng had his hands in his pockets, his face serious, his brows furrowed, and his eyes blank. After a while, he finally pulled his hands out of his pockets and helplessly shrugged at her.
"Sorry, I can't grant your request! In my mind, relationships are a very serious matter, and marriage is an even more sacred thing—a once-in-a-lifetime event. So, I'm sorry!"
He couldn't bring himself to have a loveless wedding with a woman he didn't love at all.
Liu Qianhua bit her lip tightly, her eyes clearly filled with tears, but she bravely refused to let them fall.
She stared intently at Fu Heng with such a determined look, and no one in the living room dared to speak. After a long while, Liu Qianhua seemed to have made a huge decision.
"Although I dislike you very much and don't want to be the daughter-in-law of the Fu family, I'm willing to marry you for Grandpa's sake!"
"Unfortunately... I feel the same way as you, but I'm not going to force myself to marry a woman I have no feelings for!"
After Fu Heng finished speaking, he turned around and walked upstairs without looking back. Unexpectedly, Liu Qianhua rushed over and blocked Fu Heng's way, her eyes seemingly spitting fire.
"Are you heartless? Don't you have any feelings? Will staging a fake wedding for an elderly person who is about to die cost you a piece of your body? Such a heartless person is disgusting!"
"Cold-blooded? Yes, you're right, I am cold-blooded and ruthless! Our views are different. You think you can just find anyone and have a wedding, but sorry, I can't! I will only have one wedding in my life. If I can't find the woman I truly love, this wedding... I will never have a wedding with anyone else in my life!"
Fu Heng pushed Liu Qianhua aside and strode upstairs to his room. Liu Qianhua's eyes were filled with tears, and she watched Fu Heng's retreating figure with resentment.
"We are engaged, and you have no choice but to agree!"
"The engagement was arranged by the old master, but unfortunately, he passed away many years ago. Anyway, I will not marry you, not even if it's a fake engagement!"
Fu Heng didn't stop for a moment and quickly disappeared at the top of the stairs. Liu Qianhua clenched her fists, her chest heaving. After a long while, she shouted something upstairs, where no one could be seen anymore.
"Fu Heng, you wait! I will never let this go so easily! You won't agree, huh? Then I'll stay in the Fu family as your fiancée until you agree to come back to Foshan with me!"
After Liu Qianhua finished speaking, she plopped down on the sofa. The four brothers looked at each other, unsure of what to do. They knew Fu Heng well; given his seriousness towards Gu Mingxia, he would never marry Liu Qianhua. But what to do now? Kick Liu Qianhua out? But… looking at her murderous expression, the four brothers immediately dismissed the idea.
Fu Feng put down his teacup, stood up, and walked over to Liu Qianhua. This girl was actually quite beautiful, with a sporty sexiness. Even her angry expression now was surprisingly pleasant to look at.
“Miss Liu, that’s just Fu Heng’s temper. Don’t take it too seriously. If you don’t plan to leave, I can have the servants prepare a guest room for you.”
Fu Feng's words were elegant and appropriate, leaving no room for criticism. Liu Qianhua, however, felt angry when she thought of Fu Heng's arrogant temper.
"Alright! I'll stay here until Fu Heng agrees to come back to Foshan with me!"
She refused to leave, refusing to believe she couldn't take such a man back with her! Liu Qianhua encouraged herself in her heart, then looked at Fu Feng with certainty.
"Alright, if Miss Liu hasn't had dinner yet, you can go to the restaurant for dinner first."
"Okay, let's go quickly, I'm really hungry!"
The girl was quite unpretentious. Fu Feng smiled and instructed the servants to take Liu Qianhua to the restaurant, and then had someone prepare a guest room for her.
"Second brother, aren't you afraid that third brother will be angry if he finds out about this?"
"He did not explicitly tell her to leave, and it would not be very gentlemanly for him to let a young woman who was unfamiliar with the place go out at night."
Fu Feng sat on the sofa and spoke casually. Among the five Fu brothers, he was the most indifferent. He seemed to be indifferent to everything, so when he said this, his brothers thought it was quite reasonable.
"That's fine then, I'll leave it to you."
After the brothers finished speaking, they looked at each other and went back to their rooms. Fu Feng shook his head helplessly. What a good group of brothers!
The next morning, as soon as Fu Heng came downstairs, he saw Liu Qianhua, dressed in a white tracksuit, standing in the living room, staring at him without blinking.
"You didn't leave?"
"You haven't agreed to come back to Foshan with me yet, so how can I leave?"
Liu Qianhua brought up the topic of returning to Foshan to get married as soon as she opened her mouth. Fu Heng frowned, glanced at the four brothers sitting in the restaurant, and decisively chose to skip breakfast and go to the company.
"I'm sorry, I don't have time to discuss such boring topics with you."
"You're the boring one, your whole family is boring!"
Watching Fu Heng walk out, Liu Qianhua decisively followed him out. The four brothers sat in the restaurant, looking at each other, wondering what they had done to deserve being called boring people.
"Fu Heng, you stop right there!"
"Excuse me, I never bring strangers to the company!"
"I'm not a stranger, I'm your fiancée. I won't leave you until you come back to Foshan with me for our wedding!"
"you……"
"Mr. Heng, when did you get a fiancée?"
"Yes, may I ask which family your fiancée is from? Is she trying to force you into marriage?"
