Ever since Yu Manxi met Fu Sinian’s 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, “Work is important, but personal matters can’t be delayed.”

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?

“When are you getting married? Don’t forget to give me an invitation.”

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 Fu’s 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.

“Why are you so happy?” Old Madam Fu had rarely seen him so happy.

“They all praised Little Yu for being beautiful and capable. I feel proud,” Old Master Fu said with a smile.

Fu Chen lifted his eyelids. “First, they’re not engaged. Second, they’re not married. Isn’t it too early for you to be happy?”

“What did you say? You just don’t have a girlfriend yourself, so you’re jealous.” Old Master Fu snorted coldly.

Fu Chen lowered his head silently. Who said I don’t have a girlfriend? I started dating before Sinian, okay?

“Third Brother, Dad will be even happier when you bring your girlfriend back.” Dai Yunqing smiled.

Fu Chen remained silent.

Now, no one knew that when the Fu family found out about Fu Chen’s relationship, they would punish him with the family law.

“By the way, Third Brother, the Qiao family and the Yan family are coming, so don’t get the seats wrong,” Dai Yunqing reminded when she saw that these two families were at the top of the list.

“Mhm?” Fu Chen raised his eyebrows.

“Dad is close to the Qiao family, so it’s fine to arrange for Qiao Wangbei to be at Dad’s table. Isn’t your second brother’s family coming back? Your second brother will definitely sit with Dad. Don’t you remember the incident with Yuxiu?” Dai Yunqing shook her head helplessly.

“Qiao Wangbei has a bad temper. I’m afraid that if we arrange them close to each other and let him see Yuxiu, he might hit him.”

Fu Chen raised his eyebrows. That’s really possible.

“Remember to arrange him away from this spot.”

“I’ll arrange it.” If Dai Yunqing hadn’t mentioned this, he would have almost forgotten that Fu Yuxiu was coming back soon…

***

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 Chen’s eyes narrowed. Brat, how dare you hang up on me? I haven’t seen you for a few months, but you’ve 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.

“F*ck!” 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. “Hello.” He put on the airs of an elder and spoke in a deep voice.

“Third Uncle.” Fu Yuxiu had been frightened of him since he was young. He was still afraid of him, so he spoke somewhat fawningly.

“You’re good. You hung up on me?”

“I was asleep and didn’t notice that it was your call. I accidentally hung up,” 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 he’s venting his anger on a junior? Intimidating his nephew?

“Is that so?” Fu Chen enunciated each word slowly, as if he was deliberately tormenting him.

“Definitely.”

“When are you coming back?”

“My parents will arrive in a few days. I might have to wait until next week since I have to settle some school matters. I’m in my fourth year of university now, right? I want to go back to the capital.”

Shi Fang watched as Third Master’s face darkened visibly. What did Young Master Yuxiu say to make his expression so ugly?

“You want to stay in the capital for a long time?” Fu Chen raised his eyebrows. No matter what, he was Song Fengwan’s ex-fiancé. He was still a love rival despite the fact that they were blood-related.

“At least three months. I want to find a company to intern at. Third Uncle, your company…” 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 Chen’s company.

“You want to come to my company for an internship?” 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 Master’s company?

What is this kid thinking? Why doesn’t he go to Second Master’s company?

He’s really not afraid of death. Does he want to jump into a tiger’s den?

Just as Shi Fang thought that Fu Chen would reject him, he suddenly smiled evilly. “Sure. Send me your resume. I’ll get Shi Fang to arrange a job for you according to your specific situation.”

Fu Yuxiu had just asked to give it a shot, but he hadn’t expected Fu Chen to agree. He was overjoyed. “Thank you, Third Uncle. You don’t have to take special care of me. Just treat me as an ordinary intern.”

Fu Chen smiled. “I’ll only supervise you more strictly.”

“It should be like this.” Fu Yuxiu thought that Fu Chen was just joking.

When he really went to Fu Chen’s company to intern, he found out…

His third uncle was really strict.

“Okay, go back to sleep,” 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 didn’t know how to get along with them. She had also gotten into an argument with Fu Chen before. She didn’t 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 wasn’t being a good person at all? He always had his own reasons for doing things.

Shi Fang watched Fu Chen hang up before asking, “Third Master, are you really going to accept Young Master Yuxiu as an intern at the company?”

“I’m his third uncle, and my nephew is asking me for help. If I don’t agree, won’t I look too cold and unreasonable?” Fu Chen said matter-of-factly.

Shi Fang’s mouth twitched. Haven’t you bullied him since you were young? Why are you talking about having a conscience and caring for your nephew now?

“After all, his relationship with Miss Song is special…”

“It’s to prevent anything unexpected from happening. That’s why I have to keep him under my nose. How can he snatch my people in my territory?”

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. Isn’t this entering the tiger’s den?

Fu Chen called Song Fengwan. He knew her class schedule, and she shouldn’t have any classes this afternoon.

“Hello, Third Brother.” Song Fengwan answered the phone very quickly.

“What are you doing?”

“I’m 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.”

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

“Aren’t you busy? It’s not a big deal.”

Fu Chen rubbed the Buddhist prayer beads with his fingertips. “Wanwan, I miss you.”

“Huh?” Song Fengwan was a little dumbfounded by his sudden words. They had even had dinner together yesterday.

Before she could respond, Fu Chen said, “I’ll go to your house to find you.”

Shi Fang was stunned. “…”

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.

“Third Master, didn’t Sixth Master invite you to watch a play?”

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. “You’re there?”

“I have something to do at the last minute, so I can’t go.”

“Hmm?”

“I’m going to look for Wanwan. My wife is quite clingy. Sorry.”

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?

“Sixth Master?” The people of the Jing family saw that he didn’t look good and asked after some deliberation.

“Go to the Pear Garden.”

“What are you watching today?”

Jing Hanchuan raised his eyebrows. “Get them to prepare ‘Beating the Drum and Cursing Cao Cao’.”

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.
