As soon as Fu Chen spoke with Shi Fang, some news pages popped up on his office computer. The most eye-catching was:

Second Master Fu has revoked the right of inheritance of his only son and intends to donate the assets to charity.

Initially, everyone was still doubtful about whether Jiang Fengya was pregnant. Although Fu Zhongli’s action indirectly exposed the news, it also indirectly slapped Jiang Fengya’s face.

He didn’t even care about his own son. Even if she could give birth to a grandson for him, Second Master probably wouldn’t even look at them.

Originally, there was a lot of talk online that a mother became rich because of her child and wanted to marry into a powerful family with her stomach. But in an instant, all kinds of ridicule drowned them out.

“Second Master’s move is too ruthless. Does this woman think that she can be a rich wife just because she’s pregnant?”

“Does she really think that the Fu family will let her in just because she has a child? Second Master is too unyielding. He doesn’t even want his own son?”

“It’s time to test their true love. Guess what this woman will do? Accompany him to suffer and give birth or retreat in the face of difficulties?”

…

When Jiang Fengya saw the news, her heart pounded wildly. She had never expected Fu Zhongli to be so ruthless. What was the difference between this and severing ties as father and son? Just because of the child in her stomach?

Immediately afterward, an interview recording went viral online. It seemed that a certain media outlet had contacted Fu Zhongli.

“… Second Master, did you do this because you’re angry that your son did something that disgraced the family?” It was the reporter’s voice.

The other party was silent for a few seconds. “In today’s society, it’s normal for men and women to have sexual relations. Moreover, I’ve considered this matter carefully. There’s no such thing as impulse.”

“Then, can I take your meaning that you’re accepting this girl?” The reporter spoke carefully.

When Jiang Fengya heard this, her heart skipped a beat.

“Is it that important whether I accept her or not? Even if they get married in the future, they won’t be living with me.”

“But you revoked Fu Yuxiu’s inheritance rights. He’s your only son. Isn’t it because of this?”

Fu Zhongli smiled lightly. “The assets are my personal gains. Is there a law that says I must leave my money to my son. Isn’t it my freedom to manage it? After I’ve raised him until he graduates from university, do I still have the responsibility and obligation to raise him until he’s old? And then raise his children?”

“Then, what do you think about that girl’s pregnancy? What’s the Fu family’s attitude? I heard that she cares a lot about your opinion?”

“She cares? Who did you hear that from?”

“…” The reporter was speechless.

“If she cares, she should know that no normal family wants this to happen. Moreover, we found out about this from others. Now that something has happened, she says she cares about our opinion? Don’t you think it’s ridiculous?” Fu Zhongli paused.

“People should respect themselves. If you don’t love yourself…

“Don’t expect others to respect you.”

The recording ended here.

Fu Zhongli didn’t say that he didn’t acknowledge this child. What he meant was that if they wanted to give birth to the child, they could do so. If the two of them wanted to be together, they could live by themselves. It had nothing to do with him and his family.

Jiang Fengya was trembling with anger. Although Fu Zhongli didn’t say it directly, he indirectly said that she had set Fu Yuxiu up.

At this moment, almost all the opinions online were one-sided. They said that she didn’t love herself and schemed against the Fu family. But she even wanted them to accept her with a smile. It was the biggest joke in the world.

They said that she shot herself in the foot with her plan. In the end, the Fu family refused to acknowledge her and the child.

…

Everyone originally thought that Fu Zhongli was just talking. After all, Fu Yuxiu was his only son. They didn’t expect a law firm to make a statement that night, saying that they were very grateful for Mr. Fu Zhongli’s trust and that they could help him deal with legal matters. They hoped that they would have a pleasant cooperation.

Going through the legal procedures was clearly going to implement this matter.

The next day, there was news that Fu Yuxiu had moved from his house to the company dormitory. He was suspected of being kicked out of the house.

***

Just as the matter was spreading like wildfire, someone actually interviewed Fu Chen.

On the third day of the incident, he went to the Duan Group for a meeting. The reporters had originally been interviewing Duan Linbai, but they happened to bump into Fu Chen in the lobby. They couldn’t help rushing over.

“… Third Master, what do you think about Fu Yuxiu’s matters? Have you contacted that girl in private? Did you reach any agreement? What does Old Master Fu think about this?”

Everyone thought that Fu Chen would ignore the reporter, but this time, he stopped and glanced at the person’s name tag.

“Why would we contact her? What qualifications does she have to make my father worry?”

The reporter blushed awkwardly. “This… She’s pregnant with an heir of the Fu family after all. Doesn’t the Fu family care at all? Don’t you have any opinions about her?”

“What do you think of her?” Fu Chen chuckled.

The reporter stared at Fu Chen, hoping to get something out of him.

“But I heard that you have a good relationship with the Qiao family. She and Song Fengwan are half sisters. You should reject her, right?”

Fu Chen only smiled. “People can’t decide their birth, so I won’t despise and reject her because of this. It’s just that…

“I’m physiologically disgusted with her!”

The reporters were confused…

This answer was too ruthless. It was fine if he didn’t like her, but what was physiological disgust?

What a vicious tongue!

Fu Chen made it very clear that it had nothing to do with the Fu family. It was his personal problem. When these words spread online, many people ridiculed her. Jiang Fengya almost fainted from anger.

Why is it Fu Chen again?!

Why is he always targeting me?!

It was not uncommon for people to want to marry into a wealthy family through pregnancy, but it was extremely rare for families to be as ruthless as the Fu family. The Fu family didn’t deny the existence of this child. They just said that if she wanted to have the child, she could. They just didn’t care. She could do whatever she wanted.

Jiang Fengya had never dreamed that the Fu family would do this.

It was as if all her efforts were in vain. She was like a clown. Even if this child was born, she probably wouldn’t gain any benefits.

Fu Yuxiu had no status in the Fu family, let alone her.

It was even more uncomfortable than slapping her face directly.

This feeling of punching cotton was really suffocating.

***

The pregnancy scandal should have put Fu Zhongli under high pressure and tested his skills. But after a few days, it submerged without a trace. The Fu family members did things as usual, as if they were completely unaffected.

Fu Yuxiu kept in contact with Jiang Fengya in private. When he returned, no one in the Fu family reprimanded him. He said, “A man has to be responsible.”

At this moment, he had lost his inheritance rights and had a tense relationship with his family. When he interacted with Jiang Fengya, he was naturally in a bad mood. The two of them didn’t have an argument, but the oppressive and depressing atmosphere was enough to suffocate people.

Jiang Fengya originally thought that Fu Zhongli might be trying to scare her into retreating. After all, Fu Yuxiu was his only son. But as time passed, she realized that Fu Zhongli seemed to be serious.

This made her panic.

If this really continued, what was the use of her giving birth?

She knew that Fu Zhongli and Sun Qionghua lived in the old Fu residence. Fu Yuxiu had brought her there before, so she was preparing to…

… take the initiative to attack.

She specially bought expensive gifts, but before she could even enter the compound, she was stopped by the security guards at the gates. “May we know who you’re visiting?”

“The Fu family.” Jiang Fengya had been here once. At the time, she had bumped into Old Madam Fu and had been criticized harshly. So when she stood at the gates now, her breathing was rapid.

“Who invited you? Please ask the Fu family to call us. We can only let you in after getting permission.”

Jiang Fengya wasn’t invited after all, so it was impossible for her to get any of the Fu family members to call. She bit her lip. “I know the Fu family, and I’m not a bad person. Can’t you make an exception this time?”

“That’s what everyone says when they visit.” The security guards also watched the news. Some media outlets had released Jiang Fengya’s photos.

“Second Master and Third Master reminded us a few days ago that some people of unknown origin will come recently. After all, this is a government compound, not a casual place.

“Not just any random person can enter. Please forgive us.”

Random person? Jiang Fengya was furious. These idiots are looking down on me.

She carried her things and waited by the roadside. She was really unwilling to leave just like that.

She waited at the gates for more than an hour. There were many cars going in and out, but none of them belonged to the Fu family. Finally, a taxi stopped at the entrance of the compound, and her pupils constricted when she saw the person getting out…

It was Song Fengwan!

“Mister, please help me open the trunk.”

Song Fengwan had arrived in the capital yesterday evening. School hadn’t started yet, so she had specially brought some specialties over to visit the Fu family.

Fu Chen had gone to the new district for an inspection, and he wasn’t in the capital now, so she came here by herself. She didn’t expect to bump into Jiang Fengya.

The two of them were carrying bags of gifts. Their eyes met, and undercurrents surged.
