Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Do you think my Shen family is some kind of charity? ...
Fu Xingchao's expression changed, and he respectfully opened the door with a flattering smile on his face: "I didn't know Minister Shen was coming. I'm sorry for not welcoming you."
Chen Louchen nodded slightly, Zong Yuan stepped forward and handed over the gift bag in his hand.
Fu Xingchao was surprised at first, then stretched out his hands to take the things: "You are so polite." Then he made a "please" gesture and welcomed Chen Louchen to the upper seat.
Chen Louchen's expression was gloomy and unclear. After he sat down, he slowly spoke: "It's just a small token of my appreciation. I also want to thank the Fu family for giving me a good wife."
Fu Xingchao's heart suddenly sank. Could it be that Chen Louchen came here for Fu Xu? He looked up at Chen Louchen's face, but Chen Louchen never showed his joy. He couldn't tell whether he was coming to ask for an explanation or was truly grateful.
At that time, he thought that Shen Louchen would not live long, so he took the risk and replaced the bride with someone else. Now Shen Louchen is standing here in good health, with no signs of glandular decay.
At this point, we can only take things one step at a time.
Fu Xingchao said sheepishly, "This is what we should do. You don't know how much effort we put into cultivating an omega."
Shen Louchen chuckled: “It can be seen that the Fu family raised the child very well.”
Although Chen Louchen's tone was normal, Fu Xingchao felt a chill on his back, as if he already knew everything and was still dealing with him just to make fun of him.
But after only two days of marriage, wouldn't Shen Louchen have found out? But it didn't matter if he found out. The original engagement was with the eldest son of the Fu family. Now that Fu Xu had married him, the Shen family couldn't deny what was agreed upon.
Chen Louchen took a sip of tea and asked Zong Yuan casually, "Have you seen the Madam?"
Zong Yuan was standing behind Shen Louchen, with a clear view of the entire hall. Where was the omega? But he immediately reacted and leaned over to say, "No, the Fu family has never allowed outsiders to enter. Today, the madam entered the Fu family on her own."
"Oh," Fu Xingchao quickly added, "Xiao Xu isn't feeling well and has gone back to his room to rest. I'll have someone call him out right away."
"Um."
Fu Xingchao gave Bai Shudie a look, and Bai Shudie understood. After making tea, she went straight to the backyard. Fu Jiaze always felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly followed.
Back house.
Fu Xu struggled to move the "bed" made of several wooden boards, and took out a small longevity lock from some rags piled in the corner. This was a gift from his grandmother, the only one in the welfare home who was kind to him. He hid it very well and was not discovered by the Fu family. He left unexpectedly that day and thought he would have no chance to come back to find it. Now it can be said that God has given him a chance.
Fu Xu gently wiped off the dust on it, and the sound of a lock being unlocked came from behind him.
"Get out." Fu Jiaze looked displeased as he stood outside the fence, his eyes full of disgust, as if setting foot in such a place would give him a smell of poverty.
Fu Xu quickly put the longevity lock into his arms, turned around and slowly moved out.
Bai Shudie grabbed his wrist and led him out directly, warning him: "When you meet people later, you will know what to say and what not to say. If you dare to reveal anything that should not be known to others, you know the consequences."
Fu Xu stared at Bai Shudie in a daze. He used to long for his mother's love so much, but now, he just felt that his mother was getting farther and farther away from him, as if he should never have had her.
Fu Xu nodded, and years of habit made him remain obedient.
Bai Shudie finally breathed a sigh of satisfaction and immediately led him out: "Also, complete the task assigned to you as soon as possible. You must let our Fu family know about the Shen family's project, okay? Otherwise, I won't say a word for you."
Fu Xu didn't know whether she spoke for him or not. He only knew that in Bai Shudie's eyes, he was just a chess piece, a tool, and he didn't even need to spend anything. It was just because he longed for maternal love, and until now, he hadn't received even a little bit.
Is he wrong?
"I understand, mother." Fu Xu still looked obedient.
Bai Shudie frowned and endured the name again and again before she suppressed the urge to shake off Fu Xu.
Fu Jiaze glared at Fu Xu with contempt. He had never intended to let Fu Xu have an easy time today. Now, not only could he not do anything, but Fu Xu's alpha actually came back with him!
Why? Fu Xu, why?
He would not let Fu Xu have an easy life. It was like this in the past and it would be like this in the future. As long as Fu Xu was alive, he would be his adopted son. He could not accept that.
Fu Xu followed Bai Shudie back to the front hall. The room was already full of people, and the person sitting in the main seat had changed from Fu Xingchao to Chen Louchen.
Mr. Shen? Why is Mr. Shen here?
Fu Xu's footsteps suddenly became heavy, as if they weighed a thousand pounds. He was afraid that Mr. Shen was here to cancel the engagement.
Chen Louchen slowly turned the celadon teacup in his hand. He caught a glimpse of Fu Xu's awkward figure from the corner of his eye, and a barely perceptible sharpness flashed in his eyes. He suddenly put down the teacup and waved to Fu Xu.
Fu Xu first looked up at Fu Xingchao, then ran to Chen Louchen in small steps. There was no glandular inhibitor patch on Chen Louchen's body. The cold smell of red wine enveloped him completely. A magnetic voice fell into his ears: "Are you feeling unwell?"
The omega's face was pale, and his eyes were filled with fear. Although he tried his best to hide it, it still showed in his every move.
Without waiting for Fu Xu to answer, Bai Shudie laughed and said, "Xiao Xu is weak, and the wind is so strong today, maybe it's the wind that's blowing."
"Really?" Chen Louchen interrupted her, his slender fingers already touching Fu Xu's glands, his fingertips gently brushing the other's red ear tips, "Why are your glands burning?"
Fu Xu's whole body was stiff. He didn't know what was happening to him. He mumbled, "Mr. Shen, I..."
Chen Louchen glanced at Fu Xingchao coldly. The strong and aggressive red wine pheromones were mixed with an unquestionable sense of oppression. "Or is it that the 'omega' the Fu family sent me can't even control basic pheromones?"
Fu Xingchao's teacup clattered to the ground, a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. He forced himself to speak, "Minister Shen, what are you talking about? Xiaoxu's health has been poor to begin with, and our family is having some financial problems. We really can't afford to provide Xiaoxu with nutritional supplements, so...I wonder if the agreement Minister Shen made before still stands?"
Even though things have come to this, Fu Xingchao is still only concerned about his own affairs.
Chen Louchen raised his eyes and tapped the table with his fingertips: "The Fu family wants the recent bidding project in the south of the city? Why not use this money to repair Xuxu's leaky doghouse first?"
Fu Xingchao took a step back in fear, his whole body trembling. He had thought that Chen Louchen would find out, but he had never thought it would happen so soon. He had obviously concealed everything very well...
Chen Louchen walked up to Fu Xingchao and looked down at him condescendingly: "When we arranged the marriage, we agreed to send a healing omega to the Shen family. Now you send a fake one. Do you think my Shen family is a charity?"
Fu Xingchao's face flushed and he struggled: "Minister Shen, please listen to me, the marriage contract states that it is the eldest son of the Fu family, and Fu Xu is indeed the eldest son, he just..."
“Just what?” Chen Louchen released his hand and let him stumble back, “Is it just the inferior grade, or is the Fu family just lying?”
Fu Jiaze's face suddenly changed and he almost bit his back teeth. Things changed too quickly and the development was completely different from what he had expected.
Didn't they say that Shen Louchen had reached the point of despair? Couldn't they just deliver it over and get that piece of land? Everyone said that countless omegas had died in the Shen family, so why was it completely different...
"We... don't have... Fu Xu is indeed my eldest son. He has also undergone genetic testing and is proven to be resilient." Fu Xingchao's explanation was almost pale.
The reason why the Fu family has been able to gain a foothold in the imperial capital over the years is all because of their unique healing ability, which is used to soothe alphas with great efficiency. Until Fu Xingchao's generation, they thought that they could rely on omegas to move the Fu family to a higher level. Unexpectedly, the omega born by Bai Shudie was the lowest level. Even the testing center gave the same answer after several tests: the glands were born defective and could not secrete pheromones.
How could such an omega be his Fu family's child! He had no choice but to take Fu Jiaze back to the Fu family.
I thought I only had to deal with the Shen family, but I didn't expect that Shen Louchen would come in person to expose their clumsy tricks. It is hard to imagine how difficult the future of their Fu family will be.
“Heh…” Chen Louchen didn’t care, “Do you think I’m so easy to fool?”
Fu Xingchao's Adam's apple rolled up and down but he couldn't make a sound. Cold sweat oozed from his pale face, slid down his temples into his collar, and spread dark marks on his expensive suit: "Minister Shen, I only have two sons, and the engagement... the engagement was originally for my eldest son. I don't dare to make the decision myself, right? So, my second son has a strong healing ability, how about I let him marry him?"
At this point, Fu Jiaze couldn't bear to give up. If he could trade an omega for a stable life, he had no choice but to do so.
The expressions of the people present were different.
Fu Xu twirled his fingers nervously, his heart pounding. Any casual remark from Chen Louchen at this moment could determine his future. Fu Jiaze felt a mixture of joy and worry. Chen Louchen was a child of destiny, but he wasn't sure of his condition. If he could be cured, that would be fine. If not... he didn't want to die in the Shen family. Bai Shudie clenched her teeth, wanting to speak but not daring to. She couldn't have children anymore, and this was her only omega. If she sent all of them to the Shen family, her position in the Fu family would be even more precarious.
"What kind of messy people are stuffed into my Shen family, Fu Xingchao, you are very capable." Chen Louchen's slender legs were casually crossed, and his fingertips tapped lightly on the armrest. The rhythm was slow but precise like the countdown drumbeat. The collision sound of metal watches and leather made everyone's backs chill, and when they raised their eyes, endless coldness surged in their eyes.
Fu Xingchao lowered his head in resignation, but heard a cold male voice: "You can let the Fu family go, but I have a condition."
