Rollover scene
Fu Shutao was stunned, his heart filled with disbelief.
How could there be such a mother? Do you start scolding the child indiscriminately right away? Didn’t He Jingluan ask her second sister first before doing anything? 】
Fu Shuangchi was stunned. She had been accustomed to her mother's sharp tongue since she was a child. According to her mother, this was "the deeper the love, the more severe the criticism". She would rather be treated this way than her father's indifference.
But...what Fu Shutao said seems to make sense.
Geng Min sat next to Fu Shuangchi, looking Fu Shutao up and down, and said critically: "Is this the child your father raised outside? It looks..."
"Mom!" Fu Shuangchi interrupted her quickly, "If you are in a bad mood, just vent your anger on me, don't take it out on Fu Shutao."
Mom always speaks harshly, Taotao is straightforward and strong-willed, and she doesn't want the two of them to quarrel.
Geng Min's attention shifted to Fu Shuangchi, and he finally remembered the business. He asked in a deep voice, "Mrs. He just called me. He Jingluan said that you two are not suitable as soon as he returned. What's going on?"
Fu Shuangchi was always honest with her and told her the truth: "He has a bad character and bad looks. I don't like him."
"It's just a marriage, family background is enough, and you picked it." Geng Min looked disappointed, "I finally found this opportunity, and it's also your biggest chance to win over Fu Yijin, why didn't you seize it?"
Fu Shuangchi shook his head: "The person he wanted to marry was someone who would let him go out and play after marriage. I couldn't do that, so I rejected him."
Geng Min frowned and asked, "Why can't this be done? All the wealthy families are like this nowadays. Loving couples are just putting on an act for show."
"But I don't like this, I don't want to have this..."
Before he could finish his words, Geng Min interrupted him impatiently: "Whether you like it or not is not important at all. As a man, it doesn't matter if he spends money outside, as long as he can bring money home."
Fu Shutao, who was watching, said: "..."
[Whether you like it or not is the most important thing, right? Why should you put yourself in a difficult position? 】
Fu Shuangchi was stunned for a moment, his face changed slightly, "Mom, is this what you think?"
Geng Min looked at her steadily, softened his voice, and said, "I am doing this for your own good. If you marry into the He family, they will definitely help you get the project in the south of the city. In the future, the Fu Group will be yours. As long as a woman has money and power, what else does she need a man for?"
Fu Shuangchi lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Fu Shutao was shocked: [As long as you have money, that's all? My second sister is quite rich now. She would marry a rubbish man just to make more money? What if he gets sick while fooling around outside and infects the person when he comes back? What if he has a violent temper and commits domestic violence? What if he is a prodigal son and squanders all the family business that my second sister has worked so hard to build? 】
[I really can't understand her train of thought...Is it because I'm too poor? 】
Fu Shuangchi deeply agreed with Taotao's words, but she couldn't understand it either. Marriage can bring benefits, but it has to be with the right person. She can't accept someone with such poor character.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Geng Min tapped the table with his fingertips and said sternly, "Speak."
Fu Shuangchi raised his eyes, looked at Geng Min, and sighed: "Mom, I always thought that you had a low tolerance for your husband's extramarital affairs. After all, when you found out that my father had cheated on you, you divorced him very quickly."
As she said this, there was inevitably a hint of disappointment in her eyes.
Geng Min was stung by this disappointment. Her face froze and she blurted out, "If I hadn't been pregnant with..." She paused, as if trying to calm down, "...when I was pregnant with you, I found out that your father had cheated on me. I was so angry that I was mentally unstable after giving birth. I wouldn't have divorced so easily."
Fu Shuangchi opened his eyes wide, "So... you regret your decision to divorce now?"
"Yes, I regret it. I've regretted it since the Geng family fell into decline." Geng Min's voice lowered, and he sighed and said, "Shuang Chi, you don't know how difficult it is for a woman with no power and no influence to do business outside."
[But my second sister's situation is different. She has both the strength and financial resources. Even if she leaves the family, she can still make a career. She should live the way she wants. Why should she depend on others for benefits? 】
Yes, I'm different!
But I can't tell this to my mother, or she will get even angrier.
Fu Shuangchi tried his best to suppress his dissatisfaction and did not open his mouth to refute.
The mother and daughter fell into silence.
Fu Shutao was completely oblivious to the awkward atmosphere between the two of them and was only thinking about her milk tea.
[Why hasn’t Brother Ling Rong come back yet?] I want to drink milk tea. yeah! Here we come! 】
Fu Shuangchi followed her gaze and saw Ling Rong coming back with two cups of milk tea. He carefully placed them on the table. His hands were busy, but his eyes inadvertently swept across her unhappy face.
[Hehe, he really loves it!] 】
When Fu Shuangchi heard this, he smoothed his hair uncomfortably.
Geng Min looked at the milk tea on the table, frowned fiercely, and scolded: "Fu Shuangchi, why are you drinking milk tea? Didn't I tell you to eat less junk food!"
Fu Shuangchi explained helplessly: "Occasionally, not often."
"Can I catch you once in a while?" Geng Min's eyes were full of distrust, and he advised earnestly: "Junk food is bad for your skin and makes you gain weight easily. You are not good-looking to begin with, don't let others dislike you when you arrange marriage, and you won't be able to find a good in-law. Your life..."
"mom!"
"Aunt!"
Fu Shutao's shouting drowned out Fu Shuangchi's angry voice. She said indignantly, "Auntie, are you presbyopic? My second sister is so pretty, how can you lie with your eyes open!"
[I can tolerate everything else, but I can’t tolerate attacks on my second sister’s appearance! What right does she have to say that! 】
Geng Min reacted strongly when he heard her sarcastic tone. He pointed at Fu Shutao and cursed, "It must be you, a wild girl, who led Shuang Chi astray. She used to be very obedient and never ate these junk foods."
Fu Shutao took a sip of milk tea, chewed the pearls slowly, and sneered in her heart: [Yes, yes, it’s me! I treated you to all the milk tea! 】
Fu Shuangchi's face darkened little by little, "Mom! Don't say that to her!"
Seeing that Fu Shutao didn't care at all, Geng Min became even more persistent: "As expected, he was raised outside, without a father or a mother to teach him, and he has no manners at all."
Fu Shuangchi looked at her in disbelief, stood up suddenly, and said angrily: "I have no father to teach me and no mother to raise me, so I am the most uneducated one. You have never educated me either, so don't tell me what to do in the future!"
"What are you talking about? It was your father who did something wrong, and you blame me?" Geng Min was irritated by her: "And what's your attitude? How can you talk to your mother like that?"
Fu Shuangchi's hands were shaking. She tried her best to control her emotions and communicated with her calmly: "Mom, I don't understand. How can you get pleasure from belittling me? Why do you feel comfortable only when you scold me every time you meet me?"
"When have I ever said anything wrong? It's all for your own good."
"Yes, I know you're doing this for my own good, and I'll try my best to understand you. It will pass if you just bear with it, but you shouldn't be angry at Taotao for no reason. She didn't do anything wrong."
Fu Shutao nodded vigorously: [That’s right, that’s right, I was so well behaved and didn’t say a word, but you still come to scold me, that’s too much! I feel sorry for my second sister. She has had a very hard life these years. 】
Geng Min took a deep breath, "I am your mother, and I only do what's best for you. You've only known her for a few days, and you're going to refute me just because of her? Shuang Chi, you really make your mother feel heartbroken."
Fu Shuangchi closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was calm: "Mom, I'm 26 years old this year, and I can tell what's good for me. You don't have to worry too much about my affairs in the future, just pay more attention to Geng Junyi."
"Hmph, you don't want to fight for the project in the south of the city?" Geng Min crossed his arms across his chest, looking like he was waiting for you to beg him.
"If I can't win, it means I'm not as good as others." Fu Shuangchi said calmly: "I will fight for the Fu family's assets myself, and I will find a marriage partner myself, so don't worry about it."
"Okay, okay..." Geng Min turned around and left angrily.
Fu Shutao was delighted: [My second sister is so domineering, a super queen! Stick with your sister! 】
She sneaked over a little bit and got close to Fu Shuangchi.
Fu Shuangchi noticed her little movement, and his uncomfortable mood finally eased a little.
Fu Shutao felt that her second sister's hand was still shaking, so she held it carefully and comforted her: "Second sister, don't be sad. You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. What your mother said is wrong!"
"The best-looking one?" Fu Shuangchi glanced at her indifferently, "I heard you and Xiaowu say the same thing last time."
[Oh my, a car rollover scene!] 】
Fu Shutao blinked and emphasized: "It's different and beautiful!"
Cuteness is healing.
Fu Shuangchi was amused by her and touched her head, and the anger in his heart finally dissipated.
She chuckled and said, "I apologize to you on behalf of my mother. You are very good. Don't listen to her."
Fu Shutao waved his hands and said arrogantly, "I know!"
Fu Shuangchi was so amused that she almost forgot her narcissistic nature.
Fu Shutao didn't want her to continue to be immersed in the emotions just now, so she quickly changed the subject and asked in a low voice: "Second sister, who is Geng Junyi you are talking about?"
"He's my younger brother, born after my mom went abroad. She raised him alone. He's 23 now, and he's a pretty good kid. I'll introduce him to you when I get a chance."
Fu Shutao concealed his momentary distraction, nodded, and responded obediently with "OK".
*
It was already past 10 o'clock when the three of them returned to the Fu family's old house.
As soon as he entered the door, Fu Wuxi ran down the stairs, "I saw the car lights upstairs, and I knew you were back. Taotao, have you finished filming?"
Fu Shutao said with a smile: "The filming is over. I can rest at home with peace of mind."
Fu Wuxi was delighted. "Great! Let's go out and play tomorrow! How about going to the amusement park?"
"Amusement park?" Fu Shutao thought of the amusement park she had seen in a book and suddenly became excited. "Great, great, I've never been there."
Fu Wuxi felt distressed, "I asked Auntie to make a cake, do you want to eat it?"
"I want to eat it!" Fu Shutao's eyes lit up. The cakes made at home probably use more exquisite ingredients and taste much better than those sold outside!
Fu Shuangchi was a little shocked: "Eating cake so late, the calories must be exploding, right? You two are really not afraid of getting fat."
Fu Shutao held a fork in his mouth and smiled indifferently: "I exercised in the morning."
Fu Wuxi said even more innocently: "I can't gain weight."
Fu Shuangchi went to the gym on the second basement floor to exercise silently.
Fu Shiyuan also went upstairs.
When there were only two of them left in the hall, Fu Wuxi shyly said to Fu Shutao, "Someone is pursuing me recently, but I don't know whether to agree to him."
After saying that, she stared at Fu Shutao, wanting to hear what she was thinking and help her figure it out.
Fu Shutao didn't think of anything else, only a devout gossiping heart, "Who is he? How do you know him?"
"He is a senior of mine, 23 years old this year. We got to know each other when I was his guide last time I gave a speech at school."
Fu Shutao was stunned.
[Isn’t this the scene where the hero and heroine meet for the first time in the world book? Could it be that the plot has been advanced again? 】
Fu Shutao asked tentatively: "What's your name?"
Fu Wuxi couldn't help but feel nervous, "His name is Geng Junyi."
Fu Shutao let out a sharp explosion from the bottom of his heart: [Ahhhhh! It’s really the male lead, he showed up early! What is going on? 】
