Fu Qingquan changed his shoes and was led into the living room by Butler Ye.
"Elder Brother!"
"Cousin …"
"Uncle!"
Fu Qingquan's younger brother, Fu Qingshui, stood up together with his juniors to greet Fu Qingquan in order to show his respect for his biological older brother. The others also stood up. Only Fu Qingquan's older cousin, Fu Qinghe, didn't get up from his wheelchair.
"Elder Brother is here too!" Fu Qingquan greeted his stubborn and bad-tempered cousin.
Fu Qinghe nodded calmly. "It's good that you know to come home!"
Fu Qingquan knew Fu Qinghe's temper and didn't mind. He naturally walked to Old Madam Fu's side and sat down, as if there had never been a gap between them and that he had never left home.
Old Madam Fu adjusted her shawl. Even though her face was tense, she didn't say anything nasty.
Fu Cheng came in with his son and daughter. After greeting the elders, the two children broke free from Fu Cheng's hand and ran to Old Madam Fu to claim credit.
"Grandma! Grandma! Xinxin and Mingming are amazing! They pulled Grandpa back from the company! Otherwise, Grandpa would still be busy with work! "Fu Xinxin said to Old Madam Fu innocently.
A smile appeared on Old Madam Fu's tense face. She reached out to pinch Fu Xinxin's little face. "En, our Xinxin is amazing!"
"Grandpa isn't working!" The younger Mingming put his hands on Old Madam Fu's knees and said to her seriously, "Mingming saw it. Grandpa is looking at Aunt's photo! Grandpa is secretly crying! Mingming isn't crying anymore! Grandpa is ashamed … "
Fu Qingquan didn't expect to be exposed by a child, and his ears turned red. "Mingming saw wrongly … Grandpa is getting old, and his eyes are always dry and tearing up. He's not secretly crying …"
Fu Mingming's words struck Old Madam Fu's heart, and a surge of warmth rushed into her heart and eyes.
All these years, Old Madam Fu really thought that Fu Qingquan had forgotten about their daughter.
She thought that she was the only one who still remembered her dead daughter, and that Fu Qingquan had forgotten about her after having an illegitimate child. Unexpectedly, Fu Qingquan still remembered her …
Seeing Old Madam Fu's reddened eyes, Fu Mingming turned back to look at his father, Fu Cheng. Seeing the smile on Fu Cheng's lips, Fu Mingming asked softly, "Grandma, did Mingming say something wrong? Please don't be angry, Grandma! "
Old Madam Fu looked at Mingming and smiled with difficulty. She gently rubbed the top of Fu Mingming's head. "No, Grandma isn't angry. Mingming is very good!"
A woman's heart was, after all, soft-hearted. Hearing the child say that Fu Qingquan had secretly cried while holding Fu Wan's photo, Old Madam Fu's chest turned sour at this moment, no matter how much she hated Fu Qingquan.
Housekeeper Ye served Fu Qingquan his favorite Biluochun and a few desserts. Fu Qingshui asked Fu Qingquan about the company's matters, and the others chimed in from time to time. The atmosphere was rather relaxed.
Hearing the laughter coming from inside the house, Housekeeper Ye heaved a sigh of relief. He stood at the entrance and glanced at his watch, trying to guess when Fu Huai 'an would arrive.
Just as Housekeeper Ye shifted his gaze away from his wristwatch, he received news that Fu Huai 'an's car had entered the old mansion.
Housekeeper Ye got someone to go to the living room to inform them that Fu Huai 'an and his wife had arrived, and he went to welcome them.
Not long after, Housekeeper Ye saw the car's headlights getting closer and closer, so he walked to the fountain …
The car stopped, and Housekeeper Ye helped Lin Nuan open the backseat door, greeting respectfully, "Hello, Young Mistress!"
On the way there, Fu Huai 'an had introduced Lin Nuan to the Fus' housekeeper. She nodded and greeted Housekeeper Ye the same way Fu Huai 'an did. "Hello, Housekeeper Ye …"
Lin Nuan buttoned up her coat and got out of the car.
Seeing that Lin Nuan was wearing high heels, Housekeeper Ye considerately extended his arm for Lin Nuan to support him.
"Thank you …" Lin Nuan thanked him, holding onto Housekeeper Ye's arm as they got out of the car.
Fu Huai 'an got out of the car and closed the door. Housekeeper Ye smiled and nodded at Fu Huai' an. "Young Master!"
Little Lu, who was in the driver's seat, also got out of the car and greeted Housekeeper Ye. "Housekeeper Ye!"
Housekeeper Ye smiled and nodded.
Lin Nuan held onto Fu Huai 'an's arm and followed him into the house. Her throat felt uncomfortable, so she kept clearing it.
Fu Huai 'an held onto Lin Nuan's petite hand tightly. When they were changing her shoes, Fu Huai' an didn't wait for the servants to help him. He personally took a pair of slippers for Lin Nuan and squatted down to help her put them on. "You kept clearing your throat just now? Do you have a sore throat?! "
Lin Nuan felt a little embarrassed in front of Housekeeper Ye. Her ankle was in Fu Huai 'an's hand, so it wasn't appropriate for Lin Nuan to withdraw her hand. She could only tuck her long hair behind her ears and nod. "En, my throat feels a little uncomfortable!"
After changing her shoes, Lin Nuan gazed at Fu Huai 'an with her bright eyes and thanked him. "Thank you!"
Fu Huai 'an removed his suit jacket and handed it to a servant. He smiled at Lin Nuan, his gaze filled with endless gentleness.
Housekeeper Ye had watched Fu Wan grow up, so Fu Huai 'an's eyes looked very similar to Fu Wan's when he smiled. It was just that Fu Huai' an rarely smiled in the past.
"There aren't as many people here today as in the past …" Housekeeper Ye stood by the side and told Fu Huai 'an which guests were here today.
Knowing that Su Manman was here too, Lin Nuan heaved a sigh of relief.
In the end, Housekeeper Ye added, "Young Master, after Young Miss passed away and Old Master left, you're the closest person to Old Madam. If Old Madam says or does anything that displeases you and Young Mistress, please don't be too calculative with her on account that you're blood-related …"
Fu Huai 'an removed Lin Nuan's coat and casually handed it to Housekeeper Ye. His gaze was deep as he asked calmly, "Is Old Master back too?"
When the servant opened the shoe cabinet, Fu Huai 'an saw that Fu Qingquan's shoes seemed to be there.
Housekeeper Ye nodded, smiling as if he was talking about something that couldn't be more normal. "Today is Young Miss's birthday, so how can Old Master not be back?"
Fu Huai 'an didn't reply. Housekeeper Ye looked at Lin Nuan, embarrassed. Lin Nuan smiled at Housekeeper Ye, understanding that Housekeeper Ye was trying to be a peacemaker.
Lin Nuan heard that ever since Fu Qingquan moved in with Lu Qingmei, he hadn't stepped foot into the Fu family mansion. Not to mention Fu Huai 'an's mother's birthday, he probably hadn't even returned on her death anniversary!
Lin Nuan had long seen through the coldness of the Fus, and Fu Huai 'an had seen it even more clearly …
Now that the Kaide Corporation was in danger, Fu Qingquan had chosen to return on such a day to express his goodwill to Fu Huai 'an!
Fu Qingquan had cared about his face all his life, but he couldn't bring himself to take the initiative to look for Fu Huai 'an. It was only natural for him to mention the Kaide Corporation when they met on such a day.
