Heartwarming Aristocratic Marriage: Influential Master’s Wife-Chasing Strategy Chapter 220 - The Eldest Grandson of the Fu Family, Taciturn and Wild

Chapter 220: The Eldest Grandson of the Fu Family, Taciturn and Wild

It had snowed heavily last night, and the spruce trees were covered in a layer of white. The trees were tall and proud, making the already quiet compound look even lonelier.
Fu Chen held Huai Sheng’s hand and walked into the house. The moment they entered, Uncle Zhong greeted them with a smile. “Third Master, you’re back. You haven’t eaten yet, right? Old Madam left you some food.”
“Mhm,” Fu Chen replied lightly. After passing the entryway, he saw a man sitting on the sofa.
It was a new face that Huai Sheng had never seen before.
It was arrogant and cold, appearing to have no cares in the world.
He was wearing a serious, form-fitting suit and a pair of metal-framed glasses. The thin frames pressed against his high nose bridge, making him look very elite and refined.
It was just that his eyebrows were black, his eyes were black, and his lips were extremely thin. His gaze was deep yet also a little indifferent. When he lifted his eyelids to look at people, there was only a cold and firm aura left.
He watched coldly from the side, his gaze aloof.
The arrogant and domineering aura exuded by a man of this age was natural, yet he could restrain his emotions and not make others feel that he was out of place. This man was the eldest grandson of the Fu family—
Fu Sinian.
Huai Sheng blinked. He knew that the wild and uninhibited car outside belonged to him. But the man happened to be sizing him up at the same time too. His eyes were calm and emotionless, extremely cold. Huai Sheng’s heart skipped a beat, and he grabbed Fu Chen’s hand tightly.
Then he watched him get up. When he was sitting on the sofa, people could tell that he was a tall person. At this moment, as he stood up straight, his extremely superior height felt even more oppressive. He looked straight at Fu Chen and called out…
“Third Uncle.”
Huai Sheng looked at Fu Chen and then at the person in front of him again. He’s obviously older than Third Uncle, but he calls him uncle?
“Huai Sheng, you’re back. Hurry and let Grandma take a look.” Old Madam Fu hugged Huai Sheng in her arms and rubbed his face lovingly. “Are you hungry? Quick, come and eat.”
When Huai Sheng passed by the man, he greeted him obediently. “Hello, Uncle.”
“Oh, look at how messy the seniority in the family is. Since you call Third Son Third Uncle, you should call him Big Brother. It’s strange to call him uncle,” Old Madam Fu teased with a smile.
Big Brother? Fu Sinian’s eyelids twitched, feeling uncomfortable.
Huai Sheng didn’t say anything else. Instead, he greeted Old Master Fu and sat down to wait for dinner.
Fu Chen also sat down at the dining table and turned his head to look at the person on the sofa. “When did you return?”
“Yesterday.”
“You came back yesterday and only came to see Mom and Dad now?” Fu Chen raised his eyebrows.
Indiscernibly, Fu Sinian’s brows creased slightly. He’s started digging a trap for me again.
“I came back in the middle of the night. Grandpa and Grandma were already asleep, so I didn’t dare to disturb them,” he shot back calmly.
“I thought you didn’t dare to come.” Fu Chen’s tone was as gentle as usual, and he had a teasing smile.
The two of them only spoke a few words, but Huai Sheng felt the murderous aura of experts exchanging blows.
Old Master Fu pinched the space between his eyebrows. Can’t these two stop for a bit? They attack each other with insinuations as soon as they meet, and the cold glint of their swords gives others a headache.
The love and hatred between the two of them could be traced back to when Fu Chen was born. Fu Sinian was already more than two years old at the time. His family had only said that there would be a little child to play with him soon, so he had naturally thought that his mother was going to give birth to a younger brother or sister. He had been looking forward to it, but little did he know that it was actually his grandmother with the big stomach…
When Fu Chen was born, his father told him, “Sinian, this is your uncle. You have to take care of him.”
Fu Sinian naturally didn’t want to do it. Why did he have to call a damn kid uncle? He refused to call him that even if he died, and he even wanted to call him little brother. Old Master Fu was so angry that he beat him up and said that he had no manners. He was reprimanded by his father again when he returned home.
In the days to come, as the nephew, he bore the heavy responsibility of taking care of his uncle.
It was just that Fu Chen’s personality slowly revealed itself. He was scheming and vengeful. When the two of them fought, he suffered a lot. Even so, the two of them had grown up together. Although they fought ruthlessly in private, their relationship was sincere and deep.
They were uncle and nephew, but their relationship was completely incomparable to the one Fu Chen had with Fu Yuxiu.
“Third Son, have some soup. I stewed it for a few hours.” Old Madam Fu brought out a bowl of old duck soup. “Pad your stomach first before we eat later.”
“Okay.” Fu Chen took it with both hands.
“By the way, what happened between the Song family and Qiao family? Song Jingren is suspected of kidnapping. Did he try to…?” Old Madam Fu asked.
Fu Chen nodded. “Exactly what you think.”
“This bastard didn’t even let his own daughter off.” Old Madam Fu’s face was red with anger. “He deserves to end up like this. That illegitimate daughter of his is obviously ambitious. I don’t know why he became so muddled.”
“Yuxiu likes her, so Song Jingren likes her.” Fu Chen narrowed his eyes and drank the soup.
“This kid is bewitched. What exactly does he like about that girl?”
“Maybe he feels like a man beside her.” Fu Chen exposed the crux of the matter.
Sun Qionghua was shrewd and domineering, so she was very strict with her son. He had to consult her about everything, no matter how big or small the matter was. And he had no way to resist her or be independent. Perhaps in front of Jiang Fengya, he felt that he was needed.
“I told your second sister-in-law long ago that the child has grown up and she should let go. She nodded in agreement, but her actions didn’t change at all. It’s understandable that she dotes on him and is afraid that he will suffer losses. But in this society, this kind of pampering is equivalent to killing him in disguise.” Old Madam Fu sighed.
“Yes,” Fu Chen replied.
“How about Wanwan? How is she?”
“She’s alright.” Fu Chen’s expression was calm, looking no different from when he mentioned ordinary people.
“Having such a scumbag father, this child is also really pitiful.” When Old Madam Fu mentioned this, she inevitably sighed heavily again.
“During the school enrollment exams in a few days, she’ll be coming to stay in the capital for a while. I arranged for her to stay with me. When the time comes, Master Qiao will send her over and come here to pay a visit.” When stating this matter, Fu Chen’s tone was bland and emotionless.
But a strange glint flashed across Fu Sinian’s eyes, who had been listening quietly by the side.
“Hmph—I thought that brat from the Qiao family would never go out of his house for the rest of his life and was prepared to spend the rest of his life with those stupid stones. I thought if I didn’t go to Suzhou, he wouldn’t plan on seeing me.” Old Master Fu snorted lightly.
“That’s good. The college entrance exams are soon, but something like this happened at home too. That girl is also…” Old Madam Fu couldn’t help feeling sentimental. “Sinian, when they come over, you should come over for dinner too.”
Fu Sinian frowned but still nodded in agreement.
Old Madam Fu suddenly thought of something. “You haven’t met Wanwan yet, right?”
Although this Miss Song had almost become his younger sister-in-law, the two of them had never met before. At the time, Old Madam Fu was sick and bedridden, so he had been accompanying her the whole time and didn’t attend the engagement banquet.
Sun Qionghua had sent some photos over. But he wasn’t interested, so he briefly glanced at them and didn’t have any impression of her.
Fu Sinian nodded. “Yes, I’ve never seen her before.”
“Then take this opportunity to get to know her properly. Speaking of which, you and she are fated too. Back then, your grandfather and I wanted to betroth you two.” Old Madam Fu smiled.
Fu Sinian raised his eyebrows. He clearly remembered that the girl was still underage. He was older than her by a whole zodiac cycle. Betroth us?
“We thought that the age difference between you and her is too big. Otherwise, she would be your wife now. If I had known that Yuxiu was such a bastard, I wouldn’t have cared about this age difference. Back then, I might as well have just…”
Clank! A porcelain spoon hit a bowl, making a crisp sound and interrupting Old Madam Fu.
“I’ve finished drinking the soup. I’ll go get another bowl.” Fu Chen got up and entered the kitchen.
Fu Sinian narrowed his eyes and looked at Fu Chen. He kept feeling that something was amiss somewhere.
But he really didn’t dare to think in that direction.
Old Madam Fu was already old after all, so she frowned slightly when her words were interrupted. “What was I saying just now?”
“You were speaking of Sinian’s age. It’s time to talk about marriage,” Fu Chen suddenly said.
Fu Sinian’s fingers suddenly tightened. When did I provoke him? Why does he feel so murderous? He’s pushing me straight into a pit of fire.
Even Old Master Fu couldn’t help raising his head to scrutinize Fu Chen. Are they fighting in private again? Why is he setting his nephew up like this?
“Oh, I almost forgot. It’s time for blind dates. Sinian, wait a minute. I’ll go back to my room and bring you some photos. Let me tell you, these young ladies were originally prepared for Linbai. But that kid has been sick recently, so the blind dates have been delayed. You lucked out, haha…”
Fu Sinian’s lips twitched violently. I lucked out?
I don’t want this kind of luck.
Shi Fang, standing at the side, nudged Qian Jiang’s arm and said softly, “Eldest Young Master probably has no idea how he offended Third Master.
“Miss Song will be coming to the capital soon. There are some things that Old Master and Old Madam can’t see, but he can definitely guess it.
“When he sees how his ‘wife’ who became his ‘younger sister-in-law’ has now directly become his ‘aunt’, he might break down.”
