Huaguo, the capital.
Fu Shiqin and Fu Shiyi returned to their old house for a meal after a long absence, and Fu Shengying reminded them at the dinner table.
"Next weekend is your grandmother's birthday, so make sure you have time to come back."
"Next week..." Fu Shiqin scratched his head, looking somewhat troubled.
"You're in the capital, it only takes you an hour or two to get back, don't you want to come back?"
When Fu Shengying saw his unwilling expression, her face immediately darkened.
“There’s an important meeting in Belgium next month, and I have to attend it in place of my brother. I might not be able to make it back in time…” Fu Shiqin explained.
"Attend on his behalf?" Fu Shengying pressed.
Although he no longer gets involved in company affairs, he still knows something about it. Han Zheng usually goes to the meeting in Belgium in person, so why was Shi Qin sent in his place this time?
"Well... my brother just arrived in Dubai, and he's quite busy with work, so he can't get away," Fu Shiqin immediately explained for his brother.
It wasn't work that kept him away, it was his pregnant sister-in-law.
"I called him, and he said he couldn't come back. You guys..." Fu Shengying was a little annoyed and scolded, "No matter how busy you are with work, is it more important than your grandmother's birthday?"
"Well... I'll try my best to get back, but you guys should talk to my brother yourselves."
Fu Shiqin decided that even if he was exhausted, he would still rush back, otherwise his own father would scold him for a long time.
However, it was simply impossible to call his brother back at this point.
"You two should persuade your elder brother to try his best to come back as well," Madam Fu said gently.
The old lady is already over seventy years old, and her birthday every year is extremely important to the Fu family.
Especially since my health hasn't been very good this year, it's even more necessary to celebrate this big birthday in a proper way.
“Even if I tried to persuade him, he can’t come back now,” Fu Shiyi scoffed.
His sister-in-law is currently pregnant over there, how could he possibly come back alone?
"Why can't he come back? At most, his return will only delay him for two days," Madam Fu asked.
"The cooperation was just finalized over there. My brother has been personally overseeing many things and he's too busy to come back."
Fu Shiqin glanced at the talkative Fu Shiyi and made an excuse for his own brother.
"If you can't get him back by phone, Fu Shiyi, you'd better go and bring your brother back yourself." Fu Shengying stared at Fu Shiyi and gave the order.
Upon hearing this, Fu Shiyi, who was eating, lost his appetite.
"Dad, are you trying to kill me?"
His brother doesn't want to come back. Even if he and Fu Shiqin go alone, it's impossible to bring his brother back.
Especially since his sister-in-law was pregnant, how could his brother possibly come back?
"If you can't bring it back, don't come back either," Fu Shengying threatened.
"Then I'd better not come back."
Fu Shiyi felt wronged; this was simply an impossible task.
Madam Fu glanced at the overly serious Fu Shengying and spoke to Fu Shiyi.
“Go there yourself and try your best to get your brother to come back. Grandma is so old, it’s such an important time for her birthday, it would be too much if he didn’t come back.”
As Fu Shengying spoke, she took a photo from her pocket and placed it on the table.
"Take this photo and see how your brother reacts?"
Fu Shiqin and Fu Shiyi took the photo and looked at it. The photo showed a young girl who was not only about the same age as their sister-in-law, but also looked very similar to her in terms of eyebrows and eyes.
"Dad, what's going on with this? I don't really understand."
