All these years, Fu Huai'an would take Tuan Tuan to pay respects to Lu Xiangsi and Jiang Ming'an so that the child wouldn't forget his biological parents. He would also commemorate Fu Wan's birthday and death anniversary with Old Madam Fu.
As for other people, he would remember them in his heart. He wouldn't hold events for such things!
Fu Huai'an was more willing to treat the people around him as well as he could while they were still alive. He didn't want to feel guilty and uneasy once they were gone and have regrets when mourning them every day.
\"But I believe Mom can see it! I believe in spirits…\" Lin Nuan's eyes focused on Fu Huai'an's defined and handsome features, her ears a little red. Using her peripheral vision, she stole a glance at Little Lu, who was focused on driving. She grabbed hold of Fu Huai'an's hand and gently squeezed it. Her voice was hushed as she said, \"I believe even more in Samsara and lifetimes.\"
Lin Nuan's words unexpectedly appeared in Fu Huai'an's mind—how she believed in reincarnation, and when she said that if they died in bed together that they could still be together in the next life.
Fu Huai'an's gaze towards Lin Nuan became gentler, and his hand held hers tightly…
For the sake of Lin Nuan's words and feelings, Fu Huai'an was willing to believe in Samsara and lifetimes.
Fu Huai'an's gentle and deep voice echoed softly in the car as he said, \"You believe in Samsara, I believe in you!\"
Lin Nuan's face quickly turned red…
Lin Nuan's long black hair and her black dress made her soft face seem as red as the sunset. Even her ears and neck were flushed a tempting pink.
Little Lu, who had been focused on driving, suddenly felt the atmosphere in the backseat change. He glanced in the rearview mirror and saw Fu Huai'an and Lin Nuan staring at each other and smiling. Such a sight would make anyone feel incredibly blissful.
Little Lu smiled as his gaze shifted to the right side mirror, and he switched on the turn signal.
…
Ever since Old Madam Fu and Fu Qingquan's relationship soured, the Fu family rarely got together. They wanted to avoid upsetting either of them by becoming too close to the other person, as that would cause them not to be on good terms with both of them.
Fu Wan's birthday and death anniversary were exceptions.
Old Madam Fu would always mourn for Fu Wan in the Fu family mansion where Fu Wan grew up. As Fu Wan's maternal and paternal uncles, they would all take this opportunity to come back and catch up. Fu Wan's biological father, Fu Qingquan, wouldn't say a word.
No matter what, Fu Wan was Fu Qingquan's daughter. Not only that, but before Fu Tianci was born, Fu Wan was Fu Qingquan's only daughter and was the real apple of his eye.
…
On Fu Wan's birthday, it wasn't that Fu Qingquan didn't miss his own daughter or that he didn't want to go back to the Fu family mansion where she grew up to mourn her…
Fu Qingquan still remembered how happy he was on the day Fu Wan was born. He gave red packets to all of the staff in the corporation!
It was just that after he fell out with Old Madam Fu, he didn't have the face to go back, especially in front of his biological younger brother and cousins.
But this year was different.
This year, Fu Cheng came back. He had helped Old Master Fu come up with an excuse—today was Fu Wan's birthday, and so he was inviting Fu Qingquan back to the Fu family mansion.
Fu Cheng even got his two children involved. He let his wife stay at home to keep Old Madam Fu company, then let the chauffeur take his children to the company. That was so, after work, the tiny children could hold Fu Qingquan's hands on each side and bring him back to the mansion.
In the office, Lu Qingmei was preparing to leave and return to the Fu manor with Fu Qingquan. Upon hearing this piece of news, she couldn't sit still. She gritted her molars so hard they nearly broke!
She didn't think that Fu Cheng was on Old Madam Fu's side and that he would actually let his two children get involved and forcefully \"abduct\" Fu Qingquan back to the mansion.
Today was Fu Wan's birthday. If Old Madam Fu and Fu Qingquan quietly sat down to talk about the past because of their daughter, things wouldn't look too good for her!
Lu Qingmei willed herself to remain calm as she grabbed her clutch and left the office. She headed towards the floor that Fu Qingquan's office was located on…
As soon as she walked out of the elevator, Lu Qingmei bumped into the two fair and tender tiny children. They held Fu Qingquan's hands on each side as they waited for the elevator.
The moment Lu Qingmei walked out of the elevator, she had a shocked look on her face, then smiled sweetly. \"Oh! What are the two little cuties doing here today?\"
\"Hello, Grandma Lu!\"
The two tiny children greeted Lu Qingmei fluently.
Fu Cheng was standing beside Secretary Song and behind Fu Qingquan. Dressed in a suit and leather shoes, he had a strong presence. He smiled slightly and nodded. \"Aunt Lu…\"
Lu Qingmei smiled and bent down to pinch the children's cheeks. \"Perfect timing. I told the kitchen staff to make a few dishes that you two love. I was just preparing to come up and tell your grandfather to let your parents bring you back to the manor to eat!\"
The two tiny children turned to look at their father at the same time…
Fu Cheng put it simply to Lu Qingmei, saying, \"Aunt Lu, coincidentally, it's also the birthday of my older sister, Fu Wan, today. We've come to bring Dad back to the Fu family mansion!\"
Lu Qingmei gripped her clutch tightly as she stood back up and looked at Fu Cheng, then at Fu Qingquan. \"Why do you want to go to the Fu family mansion this year?\"
Lu Qingmei was convinced that Fu Cheng wanted to take the opportunity to let Old Madam Fu and Fu Qingquan reconcile. She felt alarmed for some reason.
\"All of the uncles have gone to the mansion. It's not right if Dad isn't there…\" Fu Cheng still looked mature and elegant as he smiled. He was also polite and respectful when talking to Lu Qingmei.
\"Our teacher said that everyone has a soul. Today is Aunt's birthday, and if she comes home and sees that Grandpa isn't there, she'll be upset!\" Fu Cheng's daughter, Fu Xinxin, said sweetly, \"If Papa doesn't come home on my birthday, I'll definitely cry!\"
Looking at Fu Cheng's daughter's lovely and adorable face, Fu Qingquan recalled how Fu Wan would pester him and call him \"Papa, Papa\" when she was younger!
It was said that a daughter was her father's lover from his past life. How could Fu Qingquan not love Fu Wan?
All these years, he'd only cared about spiting Old Madam Fu. However, today, hearing Fu Cheng's daughter say that she'd cry if her dad weren't around, Fu Qingquan couldn't help but think about Fu Wan. He tried to guess if Fu Wan would cry if she went back to the mansion and saw that he wasn't around.
With Fu Cheng and his two children, Fu Qingquan had an excuse, and his wish of having a daughter could be fulfilled.
Not only that, the Kaide Corporation was hanging by a thread, but Fu Huai'an wouldn't come out and express his opinion. Tang Xi's handwritten letter and the photo of Fu Huai'an and Lu Jinnan meeting Tang Xi in person in Jincheng—these were like mountains pushing down on the Kaide Corporation one after another!
Fu Cheng was capable, but he wasn't as capable as Fu Huai'an…
The Jiahe Corporation's shares had skyrocketed, while the shares of the Kaide Corporation, which was on par with the Jiahe Corporation, had been plunging. Fu Qingquan could only helplessly witness all of this as his heart continued to bleed.
