Chapter 174 Home is where she is
Country A, a private island estate
An elderly man in his sixties answered the phone while standing in the living room. He put the phone on the table, walked across the corridor with his hands behind his back, and came to the backyard full of flowers.
In the central open space of the flower bed surrounded by flowers, there is a white table and two chairs. An elderly woman with gray hair is sitting on one of the chairs. She is slowly pruning the branches and leaves of freshly picked flowers with scissors.
"Madam, your cousin called." The old man walked to his wife and patted her shoulder gently.
"Ah, today is not a holiday, why did he suddenly think of calling?"
"Of course he wants our help with something. He said Yuxue is pregnant, and the father of the child is the second son of the Fu family."
"Oh." The woman was not interested in this. She even forgot who the second boy of the Fu family was.
The old man looked at his wife and smiled: "Are you willing to listen? If not, I will not care about this matter anymore."
"No, go ahead." The woman put down the flowers, and her old but elegant face finally showed some seriousness.
The old man continued, "Your cousin said that the Fu family has been in serious internal strife in recent years. The eldest and second sons of the Fu family have become incompatible. Now the eldest son of the Fu family controls the Fuhuang Group, and the second son of the Fu family and his family have been driven out of the country to settle down. Now Yu Xue is pregnant with the second son of the Fu family's child and wants to live in Jinghai. She is afraid that the eldest son of the Fu family will not agree, so she called us to ask us to plead with the eldest son of the Fu family."
The woman frowned when she heard this. "Why is this so troublesome? The eldest son of the Fu family is kind-hearted and never takes the initiative to offend others. The other party must have gone too far, so he drove them out of the country, don't you think?"
"Yes, yes." The old man nodded. "But Yuxue is the child of the Nian family, and now she's pregnant. She's come to us begging for mercy. As an elder, how can we just ignore her?"
Less than two months after the old man was born, he was abandoned in the hospital by his biological parents due to illness. It was the Nian couple who took him in and raised him. When he was seven, their five-year-old daughter embraced him and said, "Brother, be my child husband." And so, when he grew up, he and his daughter married. The Nian couple accompanied them to study in Country A. Before they finished their studies, the Nian couple fell ill, necessitating high medical bills. The man resolutely suspended his studies to seek a living outside. The daughter also wanted to drop out of school, but the man stopped her, forbidding her from interrupting her studies. The man temporarily sacrificed his studies, working hard and saving money to earn enough for the daughter's medical expenses. He then continued his business, eventually opening a small company, which gradually grew into a large company, and then into a large group, before returning home with a fortune.
However, after returning home, they experienced the greatest pain. Their five-year-old daughter was abducted by human traffickers. Forty years ago, the world was very bad. They used all means but still could not find the child. The girl also suffered a relapse of heart disease because of this. The old man had to quickly take her back to Country A for treatment.
More than ten years ago, they returned to Jinghai, but received the news that their daughter had died of a heart attack... Jinghai is their hometown, but it carries great sadness. The man no longer wants to go back. He is afraid that after he returns, his wife will be reminded of the past and will really leave him.
He is an orphan, and home is where she is; if she leaves, he will have no home.
Pulling his thoughts back from the past, the old man looked at his wife tenderly and said, "Let's just call the eldest son of the Fu family and not go back and get involved in their affairs, okay?"
