Graveside Disco
When Fu Shutao and the other two rushed to the hospital, Fu Changgeng had just woken up and was talking to the dean.
Fu Yijin and Fu Shuangchi came from the company and arrived earlier than the other three. One of them was listening to the dean and Fu Changgeng chatting with a stern face, and the other was standing by the window with his arms folded.
The dean was very considerate. Seeing that the children had arrived, he took the initiative to say goodbye, "Take care of yourself and have a good rest."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed.
If he needs to recuperate, it means that the successor of the Fu Group has to be selected.
The dean went out and closed the door behind him.
But there was silence in the ward.
For a moment, no one spoke.
Fu Shiyuan couldn't stand the depressing atmosphere, so he asked first: "How is it? You're not going to die, are you?"
Fu Changgeng couldn't stand his careless look, so he snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, but you won't die for the time being."
As he spoke, he glanced at the Fu brothers and sisters' faces, each with a different expression.
Fu Yijin still had a cold face, as if his father's life or death could not stir up any waves in his heart.
Fu Shuangchi lowered her eyes slightly, without showing any emotion. After working in the company for several years, she had long learned not to show her emotions.
Fu Sui'an didn't come. Even though Butler Liu notified him, he still refused to come. It seemed that he still held a grudge against his mother and hadn't let it go.
Fu Shiyuan didn't bother to hide his emotions. He looked at him with a sneer, as if saying, "The scourge will last for a thousand years." This child, just a glance is enough, looking too much will make him angry.
Fu Wuxi hid behind the crowd and his expression could not be seen clearly. It was just a child who was taken away by mistake and there was no blood relationship, so there was no need to worry about it.
However, he saw an obvious expression of relief on Fu Shutao's face, the child he had just recognized.
Fu Shutao: [I was scared to death! If the plot really moves forward, I don’t know whether the scumbag dad will die or not, but I will definitely be very busy! 】
Plot?
The brothers and sisters of the Fu family each had their own thoughts.
Only Fu Changgeng, who could not hear her inner voice, did not think much about it. His expression even brightened a little. He said to the brothers and sisters, "There is something important. Let's talk about it when the third brother arrives."
Fu Shutao was surprised: [Oh? Is it possible that the inheritance is to be divided? It’s not bad to divide it now. At least other plots haven’t started yet, the Fu family doesn’t have to go bankrupt, and I can get my inheritance easily! 】
How could the Fu family go bankrupt?
This thought flashed through the minds of several brothers and sisters at the same time.
I wanted to know more information, but I never heard Fu Shutao's voice again.
“Crack—”
Fu Shutao even opened a pack of mints.
She first gave one to Fu Wuxi and Fu Shiyuan respectively, then went up to Fu Shuangchi and gave her one as well.
[Is second sister feeling uncomfortable staying in the hospital? It felt like she was leaning against the window just to get a breath of fresh air, but a mint might help. 】
Fu Shuangchi was stunned and felt warm in his heart.
Fu Shiyuan looked at Fu Shuangchi curiously, not knowing how Fu Shutao could tell that his second sister was not feeling well.
Fu Shuang took the candy hesitantly, peeled off the outer packaging and put it in her mouth. A fresh mint scent rushed to her head, diluting the smell of the hospital that made her uncomfortable.
When Fu Shutao saw that she had eaten it, she turned to Fu Yijin, stretched out her hand, and held the mint candy in her hand in front of her brother, "Brother, have a candy."
Fu Yijin looked at her expressionlessly.
Seeing this, Fu Changgeng couldn't help but say, "Your elder brother has never liked eating candy since he was a child."
Fu Shutao didn't care: [Pooh! It is obvious that my eldest brother loves sweet food the most. A bad father is a bad father. He has never paid attention to his child’s preferences since he was a child, and he still dares to talk nonsense. 】
Fu Shuangchi/Fu Shiyuan/Fu Wuxi:! ! !
You are such a big brother?
Where is the iceberg president?
Fu Yijin: "..."
Under everyone's gaze, he calmly took the candy and put it in his pocket.
I didn’t eat it. It seems Taotao made a mistake.
Fu Shutao didn't care whether he ate it or not, as long as he got his share, it was fine. She stuffed a mint candy into her mouth and was shocked by the mint taste, which was really refreshing!
Seeing Fu Changgeng staring at her, Fu Shutao smiled slightly and asked caringly, "Do you want to eat too?"
[I won’t give it to you, Lululu~]
Upon hearing this, Fu Shuangchi chewed the candy in his mouth into pieces, Fu Shiyuan smiled secretly and swallowed it accidentally, and Fu Wuxi's cheeks were bulging from eating so much.
Fu Changgeng:? ? ?
Why am I lying on the hospital bed while my children are eating candy by the bed?
What’s the difference between this and dancing on a grave?
Fortunately, Fu Sui'an arrived before Fu Shutao distributed the second wave of sweets.
He casually pushed open the door of the ward, with no hurry in his eyes. He walked in slowly, closed the door, and stood calmly at the door, as if he was ready to turn around and leave at any time.
"Since the third brother is here, I have one thing to say." Fu Changgeng leaned on the hospital bed, with a bit of dominance in his eyes, but unfortunately no one bought into his words and no one passed on the message to him.
He cleared his throat and could only continue to talk: "The doctor said that I need to rest. It just so happens that I am getting old, and the burden of the group will eventually be handed over to you young people."
Fu Shutao clenched his fist: [Here it comes! With the power of a single word, he provoked a showdown between two strong men. Who will be the president of Fu Group? Come and watch! The spectators are in place! 】
The originally serious atmosphere suddenly became humorous when she expressed her inner thoughts.
Fu Wuxi looked at Fu Shiyuan in confusion: What has Taotao been doing on the crew these days? How come you learned so many messed up words?
Fu Shiyuan touched the bridge of his nose lightly: I eat melons with Jiang Mingyi and her group of people in the crew every day, and I have only learned this much. I have risked being noticed before talking to Jiang Mingyi! Otherwise, becoming like that woman would be even more terrifying and outrageous.
Seeing that none of the six children reacted, Fu Changgeng struck directly with a heavy hammer: "The eldest and the second oldest have been working at Fu's. I will give you two a fair chance to compete. Whoever wins the project in the south of the city will directly take over the Fu Group."
Fu Shuangchi sneered, "Dad, if you don't want to hand over the family business to me, you can just say so. The Chu family has connections with the project in the south of the city. Do you think it's fair for me to compete with my eldest brother?"
Fu Changgeng didn't even raise his eyebrows and said, "Absolutely fair. The person your mother introduced to you is from the He family. Their family background is more profound than that of the Chu family."
Fu Shuangchi snorted lightly, with a faint smile, but the arc of his mouth was not obvious, as if he was mocking himself, and also mocking him, "You are really good at calculating. No matter whether I win or lose, I must sign a marriage contract with the He family, and achieve your goal of marriage. You keep talking about fairness, but in your heart you still favor Fu Yijin!"
Fu Changgeng said coldly: "If you want to fight, this is the only way. It's up to you whether to participate or not."
Fu Shuangchi didn't say anything.
Fu Yijin had a calm expression on his face, and said calmly: "I can do it any other way."
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was a vested interest. Fu Shuangchi was a little surprised when she heard such words, but as an opponent, she felt that she was being looked down upon, and her fighting spirit suddenly rose. "I'll take it."
Fu Shutao became nervous: [No way? Does the second sister really want to exchange her marriage for this opportunity? This scumbag dad really... makes me so mad. He will be struck by lightning sooner or later! 】
Fu Shuangchi didn't know whether she would regret it in the future, but she would feel unwilling if she didn't fight for it now.
Fu Changgeng turned to Fu Shutao and the other three and said, "As for the four of you, you can't participate in the group's affairs, but we will divide the property among you when the time comes."
Hearing this, Fu Sui'an smiled contemptuously, his eyes seemed to contain daggers, "Who wants your filthy money?"
After saying that, he turned and left.
He didn't want to get involved in the Fu family's mess at all.
But Fu Shutao suddenly said in her heart: "Why does Third Brother want to punish himself with his scumbag father's mistakes? This should be his property, why doesn't he want it? Don't give me much goodness! 】
Fu Sui'an paused.
That makes some sense, but I can't give you the money.
"Stop!" Fu Changgeng was furious and shouted, "If you walk out of this door..."
Before he could finish his words, Fu Sui'an came back, pulled a stool and sat down. Fu Changgeng almost choked on his breath.
Seeing him sit down, Fu Shutao also pulled a chair and sat next to him with a smile. Fu Shiyuan and Fu Wuxi looked at each other and sat down as well.
Fortunately, this is a VIP ward with enough seats.
However, seeing the four of them sitting in a row like this really gave Fu Changgeng a ridiculous sense of being well-behaved, but the only one who was truly well-behaved was Fu Wuxi.
Didn’t you see Fu Shutao take out some candy from his pocket and happily gave it to Fu Sui’an? I don't know when they became so familiar with each other.
Fu Sui'an was also wondering about this question: How could Fu Shutao be so outgoing? I don't think I have much communication with her...
Fu Shuangchi was quite unhappy watching them being so affectionate with each other, and said, "Although illegitimate children have the right of inheritance under the law, people should still have some sense of shame, don't you think, Fu Sui'an?"
Fu Sui'an raised his eyes, his gaze was cold and cold, "Ask your father."
Fu Shutao was so shocked that she even forgot to suck the candy in her mouth.
[The smell of gunpowder is so strong?] Don’t they know… that Third Brother’s mother was deceived by her scumbag father? The scumbag father chose a marriage arrangement while claiming that he was single to pursue her. It's not her responsibility to be a mistress. It's purely her scumbag father's fault! Don't fight between you two! 】
Fu Shuangchi:! ! !
Fu Sui'an:! ! !
The two people's eyes met in the air, and then quickly separated.
No one has ever talked about this!
Fu Sui'an suddenly remembered the night when his mother jumped off the building. He suppressed his trembling as he recalled the scene: the woman in a white dress with waist-length hair looked at him in pain and despair, then jumped from the rooftop of the villa.
If it is true as Fu Shutao said, that she was not defeated by public opinion, but was deceived by her lover, and fell into a vortex of anger and self-blame, so she chose to commit suicide... then the culprit is Fu Changgeng, and he certainly would not expose his shortcomings!
Fu Shuangchi also had a hint of doubt, but it quickly dissipated.
Compared to the news that Fu Shutao got from nowhere, she still prefers what her mother, the person involved, says. My mother said it herself that the woman once showed off in front of her with her pregnant belly.
What’s more, when his parents got married, there must have been news about it. Didn’t Fu Sui’an’s mother see it? Maybe you were deceived at first, but what about later?
The ward fell into silence.
Fu Changgeng was irritated by the words "Ask your father" and felt guilty. He coughed lightly and said, "I have nothing to do. If you are busy, go and do your things first."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the ward was closed and the room was empty.
The six siblings of the Fu family relied on their extraordinary tacit understanding and cleared the ward within 30 seconds.
Fu Changgeng was left alone, staring at a row of chairs in a daze.
"Master, are you going home?" Butler Liu walked in and asked.
Fu Changgeng shook his head. "I won't go back yet. I'll have to act out the whole thing. I'll have to stay in the hospital for at least one night."
*
As soon as they left the ward, Fu Yijin and Fu Shuangchi went back to the company without saying a word.
Fu Sui'an also left in a hurry. He wanted to find out the truth of what happened back then.
Fu Wuxi asked reluctantly: "Taotao, are you going back to the crew?"
Fu Shutao nodded, "My scenes will be finished in seven or eight days, and we can meet at home next weekend."
"So fast? I thought it would take four or five months to shoot!"
As an investor, Fu Shiyuan had something to say: "We shot the first season of this drama first, so it was shorter. Moreover, Fu Shutao is only the second female lead and doesn't have that many scenes."
"Okay." Fu Wuxi looked a little disappointed. "When can I see you on TV?"
"Probably in half a year."
"Half a year? That long?"
Fu Shiyuan sighed, "This is already the limit of my ability to spend money, it's pretty fast."
Fu Wuxi sighed unconsciously and asked Fu Shutao with some concern: "Your drama will be broadcast after such a long time, will it affect your popularity?"
Fu Shutao was puzzled: "Popularity? I'll get paid after I finish filming. Nothing else matters."
As a girl who had chased stars before, Fu Wuxi knew a little more about the entertainment industry than she did. She hesitated to speak and suggested tactfully: "Why don't you sign with an agency? It's better to plan your career."
"What does an agency do?" Fu Shutao asked curiously.
Fu Shiyuan knew that she had limited knowledge, so he described it to her as briefly as possible: "It's like an agent who helps you find and choose jobs."
Fu Shutao's eyes lit up and she said something shocking: "Then I want to open an agency."
Fu Wuxi was stunned. Her first reaction was to look at Fu Shiyuan. Unexpectedly, he was also confused and thought she was daydreaming: "What agency? You have no fame and no money. Don't dream."
Fu Shutao thought of her savings balance and instantly gained confidence. She said proudly, "I have money! I asked the stunt doubles in the crew. Their salary is not high, but I can afford it."
"Wu...substitute?"
Both of them were dumbfounded.
"Well, I think their work is highly technical, but also very dangerous and insecure. If they open a company, it should be more standardized, right?" Fu Shutao asked uncertainly, "Do you understand this? I looked up some information online before, but I don't quite understand it."
Fu Wuxi shook his head, not quite understanding this aspect.
Fu Shiyuan's eyes turned and he came up with an idea: "Why don't you go back to the crew and ask Yan Baichuan, he knows more. Or, you can ask your second sister, her mother runs an agency, she probably knows more about it."
Fu Shuangchi is preparing for a PK battle recently. Although Fu Shutao is thick-skinned, she is embarrassed to hold her back, but Yan Baichuan can ask her.
But as soon as she returned to the crew, she was pulled away to put on makeup and film before she had time to ask.
Yan Baichuan's wallet was shrinking rapidly, and he was rushing to meet deadlines. He was full of energy, but everyone else was tortured.
Fu Shutao also encountered the first difficulty in her career - emotional drama.
Yan Baichuan explained the play to her: "The character of Yun Zhao grows in the later period, and the turning point is that she falls in love with Lou Qingfeng. So, when you look at Lou Qingfeng, your eyes should be filled with a little joy, the kind of feeling of seeing someone you like. You can't be like before, with no emotion in your eyes."
Fu Shutao was embarrassed: "What kind of emotion is liking?"
Yan Baichuan thought for a moment, pointed at himself and said, "It's like, I'm a roast duck, and you look at me——"
Fu Shutao looked at him, trying hard to imagine him as a roast duck, and then she saw the brown coat Yan Baichuan was wearing today, which indeed looked like roast duck skin, and she couldn't help laughing out loud.
Seeing her look of great joy, Yan Baichuan was both angry and amused. He tapped her head lightly with the script and said fiercely, "Did you remember it? Show it to me quickly. We're about to shoot it."
Fu Shutao suppressed her smile, looked serious into Yan Baichuan's eyes, the corners of her mouth slowly curled up, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
Yan Baichuan took a deep breath in his heart.
This is my Yun Zhao!
He quickly said, "Just do it like this, no problem, you are such a genius!"
Fu Shutao accepted the compliment happily and without any modesty. Am I not a genius?
However, when she was in front of the camera, her love was not shown, but her murderous intent was obvious.
After two NGs, Yan Baichuan got anxious and shouted, "Taotao, roast duck!"
Fu Shutao's eyes turned towards him immediately, sparkling as if they were truly filled with love.
"Passed!" Yan Baichuan breathed a sigh of relief. This shot was finally completed with great difficulty!
After the shot passed, the whole audience burst into laughter.
But Fu Shutao didn't have this awareness, and ran over happily, asking Yan Baichuan eagerly: "Director Yan, where's the roast duck?"
Yan Baichuan couldn't help laughing: "When you finish filming, I'll take you out to eat."
"Okay!" Fu Shutao agreed readily.
[Hehe, I got a meal today! 】
When Fu Shiyuan knew about this, he only had one comment: "Men love to make promises! I'll tell you when I really take you there."
It turns out that men are different.
Yan Baichuan took Fu Shutao with him and also brought Fu Shiyuan with him.
"This restaurant was recommended by my sister. She said the roast duck here is excellent." Yan Baichuan held the door and let Fu Shutao go in while introducing it to them.
"Since Sister Qianluo recommended it, it must be delicious." Fu Shiyuan agreed and explained to Fu Shutao: "When the three of us have dinner together, Zhou Jiuzha and I always pay for it, and Yan Ergou is responsible for finding a place to eat. The restaurants recommended by his sister have never tasted bad."
Having said this, Fu Shutao became even more excited.
Although they arrived late, there were still many people in the store and it was very noisy.
Fu Shutao quite liked this atmosphere. It felt like she was back in the days at Luyang Temple. Everyone was scrambling to eat, and the food smelled especially delicious.
Unexpectedly, Yan Baichuan turned around and took them into a private room.
Fu Shutao smiled and said, "That's good, it's quite peaceful."
Once the roast duck was served, the environment was no longer important. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fat but not greasy, and tasted delicious. Fu Shutao finished half of the roast duck by herself, accompanied by a glass of passion fruit juice.
She touched her slightly bulging belly and burped, "It's delicious! Next time my sister recommends a restaurant, Brother Chuan, please give me a portion too! She's amazing."
Yan Baichuan couldn't help laughing, "I'll introduce you two to each other if I get a chance. I'm sure you'll have a lot in common."
There were still many dishes on the table. Fu Shutao sighed at the delicious food. She felt that she had to go to the bathroom and secretly loosened the buttons around her waist.
She got up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."
Yan Baichuan put down his chopsticks and pretended to stand up: "You are not familiar with this place, do you need me to accompany you?"
Fu Shutao shook her head and said, "I can go by myself."
Yan Baichuan heard this and saw Fu Shiyuan nodded slightly before he sat down.
As soon as Fu Shutao left, Fu Shiyuan looked up at Yan Baichuan and said with a sly smile, "Something's wrong with you! When have you ever been so attentive to a girl? Are you afraid that she'll get lost if you go to the bathroom?"
Yan Baichuan said sternly, "It's not that I'm being attentive, it's that your Fu family is too rough in raising children. You're a boy, so just let him fend for himself. Taotao is a girl, why don't you take good care of her?"
Fu Shiyuan frowned, his face full of disdain, "Just pretend!"
Yan Baichuan was really confused now, "You have a good relationship with Taotao, why do you trust her so much?"
Fu Shiyuan raised his eyebrows and said proudly, "That's because you don't know the fighting ability of our Taotao. With your physique, she can overturn you just by saying so."
Yan Baichuan stared at him for a few seconds and couldn't help but sneer, "No wonder you've failed in so many relationships."
Fu Shiyuan retorted: "You speak as if you have had the conversation before. You talk very well but act in a timid way."
Yan Baichuan said softly: "No matter how strong your fighting ability is, you will still want someone to be with you when you encounter trouble."
Fu Shiyuan: “…”
I don’t know whether to say that Yan Baichuan is considerate or a pessimist, Fu Shutao really ran into some trouble.
As soon as Fu Shutao came out of the box, she saw Fu Shuangchi sitting in the hall eating, with a man sitting opposite him.
[Huh?] What a coincidence, my second sister also came here to eat, but who is that person sitting opposite her? 】
Fu Shuangchi paused in his eating, looked around expressionlessly, and saw Fu Shutao standing at the door of the box.
Fu Shutao didn't know that she was seen by her second sister, otherwise she would definitely greet her excitedly.
Her eyes were now focused on the man opposite her second sister. Looking at his belly, which was as round as if he was five or six months pregnant, Fu Shutao took a breath and suddenly had a magical idea: [I wonder if he can see the surface of his shoes if he stands up straight? 】
Fu Shuangchi's breathing stagnated, and he actually began to think about this problem along her lines.
Fu Shutao observed silently for a while. The two were not close, and the man kept talking and his behavior was a bit greasy, but the second sister's reaction was very indifferent.
She suddenly realized: [Oh, this is my second sister's marriage partner, right? Alas, my second sister has suffered! Sitting together with this marriage partner, it's like beauty and the beast. This guy is not even as good-looking as her bodyguard! 】
Fu Shuangchi suddenly felt embarrassed and thought that his mother was being outrageous. How could such a man be described as having handsome features in her words? She glanced at her recently replaced bodyguard to clear her eyes.
Fu Shutao looked for a while and then left silently.
Unexpectedly, as soon as T came out of the bathroom, he ran into He Jingluan, the pot-bellied man sitting opposite his second sister.
He Jingluan came for Fu Shutao, and smiled with a disgusting look on his face: "Little girl, I see you hiding in the corner watching me for a long time, why don't you take the initiative to come to me? As long as you take the initiative, we will have a story, and you will also have money."
Fu Shutao's eyes widened, and he looked confused: "You have money? What kind of money?"
He Jingluan showed a proud expression on his face, "The money to support you."
"Support?" Fu Shutao tilted her head in confusion: "Say it again?"
He Jingluan laughed disdainfully, "Why are you pretending? You followed me just to get close to me! I've seen a lot of people like you."
Fu Shutao's eyes flashed with a smile, and she said softly, "But there was a girl sitting opposite you just now."
"Well, it's just a marriage arranged by the family. Don't worry, she can't control me."
"But I can do that."
A mop suddenly rushed towards He Jingluan's face.
