Ever since Yu Manxi met Fu Sinianâs parents, the news of her and him had spread. When she went to work the next day, everyone looked at her strangely and was more polite than usual.
Even the station head came to inspect for the first time and specially asked her about her exam.
He even reminded her, âWork is important, but personal matters canât be delayed.â
The corners of her lips twitched. The station hoped female employees never applied for marriage leave or maternity leave. When did they start caring about personal matters?
âWhen are you getting married? Donât forget to give me an invitation.â
Yu Manxi smiled bitterly.?Do you really want to give me a gift so badly?

Meanwhile, everyone in the compound knew that the marriage of Old Master Fuâs eldest grandson had finally been settled. The woman was beautiful and capable. When Old Master Fu went out for a walk, he was often congratulated. When he returned home, he was still smiling.
Fu Chen was checking the guest list with Dai Yunqing. He frowned slightly when he saw his father laughing heartily.
âWhy are you so happy?â Old Madam Fu had rarely seen him so happy.
âThey all praised Little Yu for being beautiful and capable. I feel proud,â Old Master Fu said with a smile.
Fu Chen lifted his eyelids. âFirst, theyâre not engaged. Second, theyâre not married. Isnât it too early for you to be happy?â
âWhat did you say? You just donât have a girlfriend yourself, so youâre jealous.â Old Master Fu snorted coldly.
Fu Chen lowered his head silently.?Who said I donât have a girlfriend? I started dating before Sinian, okay?
âThird Brother, Dad will be even happier when you bring your girlfriend back.â Dai Yunqing smiled.
Fu Chen remained silent.
Now, no one knew that when the Fu family found out about Fu Chenâs relationship, they would punish him with the family law.
âBy the way, Third Brother, the Qiao family and the Yan family are coming, so donât get the seats wrong,â Dai Yunqing reminded when she saw that these two families were at the top of the list.
âMhm?â Fu Chen raised his eyebrows.
âDad is close to the Qiao family, so itâs fine to arrange for Qiao Wangbei to be at Dadâs table. Isnât your second brotherâs family coming back? Your second brother will definitely sit with Dad. Donât you remember the incident with Yuxiu?â Dai Yunqing shook her head helplessly.
âQiao Wangbei has a bad temper. Iâm afraid that if we arrange them close to each other and let him see Yuxiu, he might hit him.â
Fu Chen raised his eyebrows.?Thatâs really possible.
âRemember to arrange him away from this spot.â
âIâll arrange it.â If Dai Yunqing hadnât mentioned this, he would have almost forgotten that Fu Yuxiu was coming back soonâ¦
***
When Fu Chen returned from the old residence, he specially called Fu Yuxiu.
Fu Yuxiu was still overseas. Due to the time difference, he had already gone to bed. He was a little angry at being woken up by the call. But when he saw the caller ID, he almost rolled off the bed.
F*ck!
Why is Third Uncle calling me?
His phone vibrated like a hot potato. He was so nervous that he gulped, and his fingers were trembling. He wanted to answer the call, but his nervousness suddenly made him push the wrong button.
Fu Chenâs eyes narrowed.?Brat, how dare you hang up on me? I havenât seen you for a few months, but youâve gotten bolder.
He knew that it was already night where Fu Yuxiu was, and it was inconvenient for him to answer his phone in class.
Fu Yuxiu was dumbfounded.
âF*ck!â Fu Yuxiu was annoyed.?I⦠I actually hung up on Third Uncle?
He deliberated over his words and called Fu Chen back. The other party directly hung up.
F*ck, Third Uncle is indeed angry.
After a few minutes, he called again.
Fu Chen picked up the phone. âHello.â He put on the airs of an elder and spoke in a deep voice.
âThird Uncle.â Fu Yuxiu had been frightened of him since he was young. He was still afraid of him, so he spoke somewhat fawningly.
âYouâre good. You hung up on me?â
âI was asleep and didnât notice that it was your call. I accidentally hung up,â Fu Yuxiu said timidly.
Shi Fang looked at Fu Chen through the rearview mirror.?Third Master is really impressive. He was angered at the old residence, so heâs venting his anger on a junior? Intimidating his nephew?
âIs that so?â Fu Chen enunciated each word slowly, as if he was deliberately tormenting him.
âDefinitely.â
âWhen are you coming back?â
âMy parents will arrive in a few days. I might have to wait until next week since I have to settle some school matters. Iâm in my fourth year of university now, right? I want to go back to the capital.â
Shi Fang watched as Third Masterâs face darkened visibly.?What did Young Master Yuxiu say to make his expression so ugly?
âYou want to stay in the capital for a long time?â Fu Chen raised his eyebrows. No matter what, he was Song Fengwanâs ex-fiancé. He was still a love rival despite the fact that they were blood-related.
âAt least three months. I want to find a company to intern at. Third Uncle, your companyâ¦â Sun Qionghua had always hoped that he could build a good relationship with Fu Chen and Fu Sinian, so he braced himself and spoke.
He wanted to be an intern at Fu Chenâs company.
âYou want to come to my company for an internship?â Fu Chen narrowed his eyes. He was holding his bracelet in his hand, and his eyes were obscure.
Shi Fang was waiting for the green light at this moment. His eyes were fixed on the traffic light, but his ears were perked up as he silently listened to the conversation in the back seat.
Young Master Yuxiu is going to work at Third Masterâs company?
What is this kid thinking? Why doesnât he go to Second Masterâs company?
Heâs really not afraid of death. Does he want to jump into a tigerâs den?
Just as Shi Fang thought that Fu Chen would reject him, he suddenly smiled evilly. âSure. Send me your resume. Iâll get Shi Fang to arrange a job for you according to your specific situation.â
Fu Yuxiu had just asked to give it a shot, but he hadnât expected Fu Chen to agree. He was overjoyed. âThank you, Third Uncle. You donât have to take special care of me. Just treat me as an ordinary intern.â
Fu Chen smiled. âIâll only supervise you more strictly.â
âIt should be like this.â Fu Yuxiu thought that Fu Chen was just joking.
When he really went to Fu Chenâs company to intern, he found outâ¦
His third uncle was really strict.
âOkay, go back to sleep,â Fu Chen said and hung up.
Fu Yuxiu told his parents about this excitedly.
Sun Qionghua had always felt that she had let the Fu family down and didnât know how to get along with them. She had also gotten into an argument with Fu Chen before. She didnât expect him to be willing to accept her son as an intern at his company.
She immediately felt that she had been too petty and selfish before. The Fu family still treated them as family.
She even reflected on herself and decided that she had to get along well with the Fu family when she returned.
How could Sun Qionghua know that Fu Chen wasnât being a good person at all? He always had his own reasons for doing things.
Shi Fang watched Fu Chen hang up before asking, âThird Master, are you really going to accept Young Master Yuxiu as an intern at the company?â
âIâm his third uncle, and my nephew is asking me for help. If I donât agree, wonât I look too cold and unreasonable?â Fu Chen said matter-of-factly.
Shi Fangâs mouth twitched.?Havenât you bullied him since you were young? Why are you talking about having a conscience and caring for your nephew now?
âAfter all, his relationship with Miss Song is specialâ¦â
âItâs to prevent anything unexpected from happening. Thatâs why I have to keep him under my nose. How can he snatch my people in my territory?â
Fu Chen rubbed his chin and smiled strangely.
Shi Fang felt a chill run down his spine.?I knew it. Why would Third Master suddenly be so kind?
Fu Yuxiu is a fool. Isnât this entering the tigerâs den?
Fu Chen called Song Fengwan. He knew her class schedule, and she shouldnât have any classes this afternoon.
âHello, Third Brother.â Song Fengwan answered the phone very quickly.
âWhat are you doing?â
âIâm at Yishui Community. Uncle, Uncle Yan, and the others will come over later, and they want to stay here. So I bought a few new sets of bedsheets and blankets and came here to wash them.â
âWhy didnât you tell me?â
âArenât you busy? Itâs not a big deal.â
Fu Chen rubbed the Buddhist prayer beads with his fingertips. âWanwan, I miss you.â
âHuh?â Song Fengwan was a little dumbfounded by his sudden words. They had even had dinner together yesterday.
Before she could respond, Fu Chen said, âIâll go to your house to find you.â
Shi Fang was stunned. ââ¦â
Third Master, you took a detour. So you just want to find her.
After hanging up, he signaled Shi Fang to turn the car around and head to Yishui Community.
âThird Master, didnât Sixth Master invite you to watch a play?â
Fu Chen narrowed his eyes and called Jing Hanchuan.
At this moment, Jing Hanchuan had already set off from home. A few days ago, the Pear Garden had been disturbed, and things had been smashed. The Jing family took this opportunity to renovate the Pear Garden. Tomorrow, it would be officially open for business again. He had invited Fu Chen out today because he wanted him to evaluate the stage, the scenery, and so on.
After all, a certain someone was an expert and had a vicious enough mouth.
His phone rang. Seeing that it was Fu Chen, he thought he had already arrived. âYouâre there?â
âI have something to do at the last minute, so I canât go.â
âHmm?â
âIâm going to look for Wanwan. My wife is quite clingy. Sorry.â
Jing Hanchuan tightened his grip on his phone.?He could have just sent a message, but he even specially called to show off?
Fu Chen, can you be any more shameless?
âSixth Master?â The people of the Jing family saw that he didnât look good and asked after some deliberation.
âGo to the Pear Garden.â
âWhat are you watching today?â
Jing Hanchuan raised his eyebrows. âGet them to prepare âBeating the Drum and Cursing Cao Caoâ.â
This play was about Mi Heng scolding Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period.
The people of the Jing family were speechless..?Actually, Sixth Master wants to scold Third Master.
