In the Fu residence, the dim lighting made the atmosphere in the living room feel gloomy and depressing.
âAre you sure sheâs that child from the He family?â Old Master Fu confirmed.
Fu Shinan nodded.
âThat old thing from the He family is really sinful.â Old Madam Fu sighed.
âBack then, in order to avoid family planning, they said that their first child died, but they actually sent her to the countryside.
âTheir biological daughter was just born, but she didnât even get to drink her biological motherâs milk. How heartless.â
Dai Yunqing calmed down and passed the pills and warm water to the two Fu elders. Old Master Fu held the pills and frowned as he thought about something. âTheir family wanted a boy to carry on the family line.â
âBut in the end, they still gave birth to a daughter the next year, and they couldnât say that she died again. This is all fate.â Old Madam Fu sighed repeatedly.
âActually, when they brought the girl back, I saw her once from afar. She was timid and skinny, and she wasnât even as tall as her sister. She didnât dare to meet anyone either.â Yu Manxi had changed too much, so no one would have thought that she was the same person.
She used to be dark and thin. And wearing an ill-fitting princess dress, she looked out of place. Especially when she was standing beside her sister, they were simply incomparable.
âHer sister lived in the capital, went to the best schools, and learned piano and dance. She had the best of everything. When her sister was sent away, the countryside was still very poor. The family who adopted her was also quite poor. When they brought her backâ¦â
Old Madam Fu frowned and recalled carefully. âI donât think she started school yet. She didnât even know how to write her name.
âWhen she suddenly came to the capital, she couldnât get used to the environment of the He family. Moreover, because of this matter, the He family was afraid of being discovered, so they never cared about her and let her fend for herselfâ¦â
Old Master Fu continued, âHer father lost his position! And he pushed all the blame on her.â
At the time, family planning had been very tight. And because her father was a small leader then, he couldnât go against the law and have a second child. When the matter was exposed, he would definitely have to resign.
It wasnât that the He family didnât have the money to pay the fine, but they were afraid of losing their jobs because of this. At the time, the requirements for personnel in government agencies were very strict.
Government employees didnât respond to the policies of the higher-ups⦠If this was discovered, they would definitely lose their jobs. At the time, the He familyâs status in the political scene couldnât be underestimated, so they naturally wouldnât affect the entire family because of a child.
But in the end, they couldnât escape.
âAfter the matter was exposed, the He family saw her as a jinx, but they had no choice but to bring her back. However, they definitely wouldnât treat her kindly.â Old Madam Fu lowered her head and took some medicine. She swallowed a few mouthfuls of water, as though she wanted to calm down the sympathy in her heart.
Dai Yunqing sighed. âI really donât know how Little Yu lived when she returned to the He family.â
âShe couldnât even read when they picked her up, and she was thrown overseas soon after. They obviously didnât care about her.â Old Madam Fu harrumphed lightly. âThis childâs surname isnât even He now. Itâs obvious that she hates them from the bottom of her heart.â
âHow could she not be resentful? Theyâre both daughters, but one of them lives like a princess in the city, yet she could only be abandoned. Even when she went home, no one looked forward to her and welcomed her.â Old Master Fu lowered his head and swallowed his antihypertensive pill.
Dai Yunqing pursed her lips. âWhen I asked if she had siblings during dinner, her reaction was very strange. Do Sinian and Third Brother know?â
Fu Shinan nodded.
âThis pair of uncle and nephew is really impressive. They hid such a big matter so well.â Dai Yunqing harrumphed coldly.
The four of them sighed in the living room and chatted for a while before returning to their rooms.
Fu Shinan took a simple shower. When he came out, his pillow and blanket were already neatly placed beside the bed. âMadam, Iâll be leaving then.â
He automatically picked up the blanket and pillow, knowing that he would definitely sleep in the study tonight.
âRemember to close the door for me.â
âOkay.â
Actually, Fu Shinan had always felt that he had already restrained himself a lot. He had been serious but not lacking a smile.
Iâve never been so formal and nervous in ordinary meetings. Why is she still not satisfied?
When Dai Yunqing heard the door close, she harrumphed coldly.?I wanted him to be serious but also maintain a smile. But he sure did a good job of putting on a fake smile for her. Who was he trying to scare?
She took out her phone and sent Fu Sinian a message.

Software Garden condominiumâ¦
After Fu Sinian returned with Yu Manxi, the two of them stayed in the car for a while before taking the elevator upstairs.
âSinian, itâs my first time meeting your parents tonight. After this incident, will they have a bad impression of me? What if they donât agree to us being together?â Yu Manxi was uneasy the whole way.
At this moment, only the two of them were in the elevator. Fu Sinian had been playing with a mechanical lighter, and Yu Manxi couldnât help biting her lower lip.
âIf your parents donât agree, will we break upâ¦â
Before she could finish speaking, Fu Sinian had already walked up to her with a frown. âBreak up?â
Yu Manxi had only seen him with this gaze the first time she saw him. It was sharp and firm, but it also had an austere and terrifying aura, as if it could devour everything.
This was also why Yu Manxi was attracted to him the first time she saw him.
His gaze was hot and direct, making her blush slightly. Her slender ribs couldnât hold back her pounding heart. She coughed lightly and tried to avoid his eyes.
But Fu Sinian had already leaned over, lowered his head, and kissed herâ¦
Yu Manxi avoided instinctively. A certain someone turned her chin, and there was a cold metal wall behind her. There was no way out, so she could only harrumph lightly.
All sounds were sealed.
The difference in strength was too great. This was the first time she felt such aggressiveness from Fu Sinian.
Before she could take a breath of air, her entire breath was taken away by him.
He was too strong.
He was too domineering. His tongue parted her lips and teeth, and he devoured everything ferociously.
Fu Sinian completely restrained her, and Yu Manxi could no longer move. She could only passively accept his rough and unrestrained plundering. Her calves were so tense that they were limp and trembling.
The elevator had stopped on the 16th floor long ago, but their breaths were still entangling with each other. His scorching aura made her body go weak.
âAre you having an affair?â Fu Sinian asked softly, his lips touching hers.
Yu Manxi shook her head.
âIn love with someone else?â
âNo.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWe wonât break up.â Fu Sinianâs gaze was dark, but his voice was very firm.
There was only the sound of his heart thumping beside Yu Manxiâs ear. Fu Sinian raised his hand and pressed the button to open the door. The elevator opened. He pressed his ear against hers, and his breathing became increasingly hot.
âYour place or mine?â
Yu Manxi started trembling. âHuh?â
âYour place then.â Fu Sinian pulled Yu Manxi straight back to her condo.
Perhaps because she had received Fu Sinianâs affirmative answer, the two of them kissed as soon as they entered the condo. Yu Manxi also seemed exceptionally enthusiastic.
Now, she was almost certain that although Fu Sinian looked aloof, he was definitely not cold.
The scene was too passionate.
The two of them kissed from the door all the way to the living room.
The battle was intense.
Niannian was lying in its little nest. It had already run over to welcome its owner, but Yu Manxi threw her bag at it and almost hit its head. Niannian was so frightened that it shrank back into its nest.
Fu Sinian was very strong. He pressed her against the wall and kissed her all the way down.
⦠Yu Manxiâs legs subconsciously wrapped around his waist.
At this moment, Fu Sinianâs phone vibrated.
âPhone call.â
âIâll call back.â Fu Sinian bit her lips. The arrow was already on the bowstring. If he had to endure it now, he would always feel aggrieved and uncomfortable.
But his phone kept vibrating, and Yu Manxi kept pushing him. âAnswer the phone first.â
Fu Sinian took out his phone. When the two of them saw that the caller ID was âMotherâ, Yu Manxi was so frightened that she hurriedly retreated from him. Fu Sinian pressed her down and didnât let her leave.
But when Fu Sinian saw Dai Yunqing calling, his fire was almost extinguished. He took a deep breath and answered the phone. âHello.â
âHave you and Little Yu arrived home yet?â
Fu Sinian was used to being alone and didnât have the consciousness to report his whereabouts to anyone.
He was very close to Yu Manxi, so she could hear their conversation clearly.?His mom must be calling to talk about our meeting today.?Her heart instantly lifted.
âYes.â
âI know all about her. Sheâs a good person. When you have time, bring her back to the old residence. Your grandma likes her a lot.â
âOkay.â Fu Sinian nodded.
Hearing Dai Yunqing say this, Yu Manxi was so excited that she almost jumped up. She bit her lip hard to control herself from making a sound.
âBut thereâs one more thingâ¦â But Dai Yunqing changed the topic, scaring her so much that her heart instantly skipped a beat.
âWhat?â Fu Sinian frowned as well.
âThe set of skincare products Little Yu gave me today is very good. Help me ask what color the lipstick in the gift is. The color is beautiful. I want to buy one for your second aunt.â
Fu Sinian was stunned.?Lipstick?
âArenât all lipsticks red?â?Whatâs there to differentiate in this color? They all look similar.
âGet lost! Go find Little Yu to talk on the phone!â Dai Yunqing was furious.?What do you mean by all lipsticks are red?
No wonder you were single for more than thirty years..
