Chapter 21
"The Si family?" Another voice was visibly stunned, as if they hadn't heard of this surname in a long time. "Is it... that Si family?"
"Who else could it be but that famous one?"
"Oh, now I remember. Your brother made a big fuss about him back then. We even talked about it during dinner."
Zhu Shaoquan sneered, "Who says it isn't? This has become the biggest scandal in my family. The old man still gets furious when he thinks about it."
The security guard also chimed in with a laugh. "I can't understand it either. You said your brother is fine, with your family's status backing him up, so why would he be so careless as to fall for someone like that?"
"Actually, when they first got together, nothing had happened to the Si family yet—I'm being fair."
"Come on, it's fine if you're pretending in front of others, but you're also pretending in front of me. You, you still want to say a fair word for your brother? The uncle at the stall across the street can speak more fairly than you." The security guard paused, "But you're right, it seems that the incident with the Si family only happened a few years ago. Your brother and that person must have been together for quite a few years, right?"
"Yeah, so to be honest, back then the Si family was pretty well matched to ours. It's just that my brother wasn't very smart. He didn't like the eldest and second oldest sons of the Si family, but instead fell for the youngest bastard. Do you think my dad would agree?"
"What's the difference? Those two in their family are both having a miserable time right now. So what about your brother? How's he and that guy doing now?"
Just by listening, one could imagine Zhu Shaoquan's disgusted expression at the moment: "Their love is deep and strong, and their life on that remote little planet is pretty good. Although it's much worse than our family, it's certainly not easy for them to start from scratch."
"Oh my god, is our home planet orbiting in the opposite direction today? Are you still able to speak for your brother?"
The two of them burst into laughter.
They laughed unscrupulously at Si Yin and Zhu Xiyuan's bumpy love story, and every laugh felt like a knife in Zhu Fu's ears.
The little boy clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could smash those two annoying faces.
Chengcheng, who was standing next to him, saw Fufu's serious expression for the first time, and tugged at his clothes uneasily.
The boy came to his senses and realized that being angry and furious was useless. He absolutely could not let these two people's ridicule of their fathers go in vain.
A few tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, and he whispered to Cheng Cheng, "I, my stomach hurts. Can you call the headmaster over?"
Chengcheng was shocked. Fufu was fine just now, why did she suddenly have a stomachache?
The little piglet was nervous and hesitant: "But, but if it hurts, should I call the doctor?"
Fu Fu shook her head: "No, please ask the headmaster. I only trust him."
The kitten grabbed his friend's hand and shook it gently, tears welling in his eyes: "Please..."
Cheng Cheng had no way of refusing his request and nodded firmly: "Okay, I will help you."
Zhu Fu was so good to him, and now he finally had the chance to repay her. Cheng Cheng thought he would definitely do it.
The boy stood up to leave, and Fufu specifically reminded him, "Keep your voice down."
Although Chengcheng didn't understand what this meant, he still did as he said and left the pine tree quietly.
He was small and Leidensong was so big, the two people chatting over there were completely immersed in the conversation and didn't notice there were two little eavesdroppers at all.
After Chengcheng walked away, Zhu Fu turned her attention back to the conversation between adults.
Maybe it was because he had been cooped up at home for too long with no one to talk to, or maybe it was because the arrival of that little brat had made Zhu Shaoquan very unhappy, and he was looking for someone to vent his complaints to, and things got out of control.
"I haven't spoken to them much since they came back. I've been bullied by that brat every day. But I heard from my sister that the bastard from the Si family has gone to St. Helier to do business again."
The security guard chuckled. "Still doing business? They're so forgetful! How dare they still do business when they're in such a dilapidated state?"
"I don't know either, but I heard it's pretty good. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to support someone as precious as my brother. Don't be fooled by the fact that my brother doesn't seem to care about anything. He's actually very picky."
"Your brother is so handsome, it's normal for him to be a little spoiled."
"Shh, why do I feel like you're still harboring evil intentions towards my brother? I advise you to just give up on that idea. You haven't seen how their love is stronger than gold—ah, it makes me sick just thinking about it. I really don't know what's so good about two men like that."
"Why, it's such a different era now, and you're still homophobic? Are you a time traveler from ancient times?"
Zhu Fu, who had truly traveled through time from ancient times, was stunned when she heard this.
One of the important reasons why fathers in previous lives were unable to obtain consent was because their homosexual/homosexual identities were illegal and unreasonable at that time.
The elders believed that their union was against natural order and a product of evil.
This can probably be considered a prophecy that came true.
The love between the fathers was not a product of evil, but their union gave birth to him, the true embodiment of evil.
While Zhu Fu was filled with hatred for Zhu Shaoquan, she suddenly thought that after her rebirth, he knew everything about his mother's family, the Zhu family.
Zhu Zhengde who retired from the cabinet, Sally who was once the empire's chief medical officer, Zhu Xiaoling who is an independent designer, and Zhu Shaoquan who inherited Zhu Zhengde's legacy.
It's obvious that his mother comes from a prominent family.
However, he still doesn't know his father's background.
What about the bastard from the Si family? Isn’t his father a real child of the Si family?
Both of his fathers in his previous life were orphans raised by the Presbyterian Church, so he really didn't have much to learn about them.
But this life was different. No wonder after returning to Bach Star, only his mother went to the Zhu family, while his father never mentioned his own family.
Zhu Fu pieced together some key information from the conversation between Zhu Shaoquan and the security guard:
For example, the Si family was once a powerful family comparable to the Zhu family, and seemed to be involved in business. But now, the family has long since fallen on hard times.
In addition, Si Yin should have two older brothers or sisters, and he is not a legitimate child of the Si family.
It is obvious that Zhu Xiyuan eloped because Zhu Zhengde did not agree with him and Si Yin being together.
Zhu Fu only knew this much before, but she didn’t think deeply about why her grandfather disagreed with her fathers’ affairs?
Now I understand that with Zhu Zhengde's personality, he must be looking for a force that is strong enough for marriage, and Si Yin's identity obviously does not meet his requirements.
Unfortunately, Zhu Xiyuan has already decided on this person and will not change anything. Even if he doesn't become a child of the Zhu family, he must be with Si Yin.
Zhu Fu really wanted to hear more about her fathers' past, but the security guard changed the subject: "Hey, how's your old man's health lately? I saw on the news that his condition was pretty serious."
Originally, Zhu Fu wasn't very interested in this topic, but to his surprise, Zhu Shaoquan replied in a very irritable and disdainful tone: "It's still the same as always. You can't die, it's really troublesome."
This was really beyond Zhu Fu's expectations.
You know, although he didn't have much affection for this grandfather who was not good to his fathers at all, it could be seen that Zhu Zhengde's preference for Zhu Shaoquan was genuine.
As a result, Zhu Shaoquan actually hoped that he would die soon.
Not only Zhu Fu, but the security guard was also stunned when he heard his tone: "Why, where does such a big grudge come from?"
Zhu Shaoquan spat, "You don't know, he applied for early retirement from His Majesty because he was ill, not because his term was up. So his subordinates still trust him, and some even think he'll come back when he's better. In other words, they don't listen to me at all now. As long as he's alive, I can't truly take over his business."
The security guard laughed, "That does seem quite troublesome. But your old man is in very good health. I saw him a while ago. He was still in such good spirits after being released from the ICU. You have a lot of hard work ahead of you."
"Yeah, you have no idea how much I wanted to shut down all his functional devices and let him die in the ICU."
The security guard laughed and said, "Brother, I can't believe you have such a cruel heart. But if you really want to kill Zhu Zhengde——"
Zhu Shaoquan didn't even respect his own father that much, so the security guard naturally omitted Jing Cheng and called him by his name.
Just as Zhu Fu was holding her breath, waiting to hear the next conspiracy, she was suddenly patted by someone.
The kitten turned around with a start, and found that Chengcheng had actually brought the headmaster with him.
The head teacher knew the family background of this little guy and attached great importance to him. After all, he was the only grandson of the Zhu family. If anything happened to him, he could not afford the consequences.
Just as the headmaster was about to ask how the child was doing, he heard a familiar voice say, "Actually, you just need to attack Zhu Zhengde's precious grandson..."
The security guard and Zhu Shaoquan were so engrossed in their conversation that they even forgot to lower their voices.
These words fell into the ears of the headmaster without missing a word.
Fufu's cat ears were drooping and she looked terrified, and the headmaster, recognizing the voice as that of his own employee, was immediately enraged.
