Chapter 95 He has a fiancée
When Fu Yanci noticed that Shen Qianyu was looking at him with an unusual distance in her eyes, Fu Yanci frowned slightly.
Yun Shu realized what was happening and quickly led Shen Qianyu to the room.
"The food is all ready, just waiting for you to come!"
During the meal, Shen Qianyu acted differently than she usually did with Fu Yanci. In the past, the two of them would be very natural and talk a lot, but today Shen Qianyu kept avoiding talking to Fu Yanci.
Yun Shu kept smoothing things over, and she was exhausted after she finished.
Before leaving, Shen Qianyu said to Fu Yanci, "I just booked a ride-hailing car, and it's arrived. Mr. Fu, I'll be going now."
Fu Yanci frowned. He saw Shen Qianyu get into the car and leave, then turned to look at Yun Shu.
What just happened to her?
Yun Shu didn't have Shen Qianyu's ability to keep things hidden, but since Shen Qianyu didn't want to tell Fu Yanci, she naturally couldn't say anything either.
"I...I don't know."
Fu Yanci didn't speak, but he saw through Yun Shu at a glance; she didn't seem to be unaware of the situation.
But Fu Yanci wouldn't ask any more questions. Yun Shu didn't want to betray Shen Qianyu, so he wouldn't make things difficult for her. After saying goodbye to Yun Shu and her mother, Fu Yanci went out and called his assistant, asking him to investigate where Shen Qianyu had been during the time she disappeared.
The waiting time was agonizing, but thankfully his assistant acted quickly, calling him to report the situation.
"During my investigation, I discovered that Miss Shen had been in contact with members of the Fu family during this period."
"The Fu family?"
"It should be Madam Fu."
Fu Yanci's hands were already clenched into fists.
He said to the driver in front, "To the Fu family's old residence."
The Fu family's old residence.
It was already past nine o'clock.
It's not early for young people, but for the elderly, Madam Fu was already planning to go to bed at this time.
Fu Yanci walked inside very quickly, asking as he went, "Where's Grandma?"
The servants came to his side, and even they could hardly keep up with his pace.
"Second Young Master, the Old Madam has already gone to bed. If you need anything, you can come over tomorrow."
"I can't wait until tomorrow."
"Second Young Master, you know the Old Madam's health. If you force your way in..."
"It's alright, don't worry, I can help her find a doctor, the best doctor in the world."
Fu Yanci emphasized the last few words.
His feet never stopped moving.
The maid quickly stopped him: "Second Young Master, please don't do this. Your relationship with the Old Madam is not good to begin with. Unless it is an urgent matter, you really can't go in."
Fu Yanci stopped in his tracks.
The servants were naturally afraid of the anger and malice in his eyes.
He will never forget how he fought his way back into the Fu family and got to where he is today; he still feels lingering fear.
"What if I insist on going in?"
The maid suddenly fell silent.
Fu Yanci coldly said "Get out of the way" and walked inside.
Upon arriving at Madam Fu's door, Fu Yanci was about to knock when Madam Fu opened the door.
The maid quickly reported, "I'm sorry, Madam, I tried to stop the second young master, but he..."
"Alright!" Old Madam Fu's eyes were full of authority: "Go ahead and do your work, this is none of your business."
"yes."
The two entered Old Master Fu's study.
Although Mr. Fu passed away a few years ago, this study has been well preserved, and Mrs. Fu also uses it to receive guests.
As soon as she entered, Madam Fu said with a cold face, "You've come to see me because of the daughter of the Lu family's steward, haven't you?"
"Grandma, why are we going to find her?"
“I didn’t usually interfere much in your affairs. I didn’t care how many women you had before you got married. I could just pay them off. Even if you had an illegitimate child, I wouldn’t worry. But at the banquet hosted by Old Master Yan of the Yan family yesterday, I realized that things were different. You want to marry that girl.”
Fu Yanci replied without hesitation, "Yes, I want to marry her."
"But will she be with you?"
"If Grandma thinks like that, then why does she still go to find her?"
Their eyes met, and Fu Yanci made no attempt to conceal his kingly aura.
Fu Yanci did not grow up with Madam Fu and they had no affection for each other. It was only because Fu Yanci had gained control of the Fu family in recent years that the two had to meet as relatives.
"Now that you are a member of the Fu family and have taken control of the Fu family, your marriage cannot be decided by you."
Fu Yanci found it amusing and chuckled softly: "Grandma, you should know that when I call you Grandma, it's not from the bottom of my heart."
From childhood to adulthood, you have never seen me, let alone bought me a single piece of clothing, not even a piece of bread.
I gained control of the Fu family because you all went too far and forced me to take it. But now that I'm in charge of the Fu family, no one has the right to stop me from marrying whomever I want.
"presumptuous!"
Madam Fu slammed her hand on the table in great anger.
"If you liked an ordinary person, I could help her take you in as her concubine. But you want to marry the daughter of the Lu family's steward, who is of lowly status. Do you want everyone to laugh at you and at my Fu family?"
Although the Fu family doesn't treat servants the same way the Lu family does, they still fundamentally believe that servants have a lowly status.
A fleeting romance is fine, but to marry her? Everyone will be gossiping behind their backs. Was the future matriarch of the Fu family just the daughter of the Lu family's housekeeper, a mere maid?
“Back then, you couldn’t stop me from taking over the Fu family, nor did you have the right to interfere with who I married! Grandma, the fact that I’m here so late today shows how determined I am.”
Madam Fu sneered, "I may not be able to stop you from taking control of the Fu family, but you can forget about marrying Shen Qianyu!"
Before Fu Yanci could speak, Old Madam Fu repeated herself.
"Even if you force me to my death, I will not let you marry her. Otherwise, let's see who wins this time!"
The atmosphere in the study was very tense.
Neither side was willing to back down.
However, Madam Fu was not in good health and soon began to cough.
The servants waiting outside quickly knocked on the door and came in to offer the old lady some water.
The maid knew she shouldn't speak, but she still said as she looked at Fu Yanci, "Second Young Master, the family is already destined for decline. If something really happens to the Old Madam, do you want to bear the blame for causing her death?"
Madam Fu calmed down a bit and chuckled, "He just wants to drive me crazy. Once I'm dead, he can marry the daughter of the Lu family's steward!"
Fu Yanci remained unmoved, as if he had already made his decision.
Madam Fu looked at Fu Yanci: "Don't forget, you promised me that once the He family's daughter was found, you had to marry her, otherwise..."
Fu Yanci's expression changed instantly.
