Fu Yu Sheng declined Fu Shu Chang's call and then turned to look at Song Yan who was looking at him in concern. " Why are you looking at me like that?"
" Are you feeling okay?" She asked in concern, though she didn't know what he did, Song Yan understood her elder brother-in-law really well, he was an eccentric man who liked to huddle himself in the laboratory more than he liked his family, there was something just really weird about that gloomy, weird and super scary elder brother of the Fu family.
Fu Yu Sheng asking that scary monster to leave its lair was like asking a Minotaur to dress up in an apron and cook a fruitcake.
" I am feeling good, no in fact I am feeling awesome," he replied with a smile as he gunned the engine of his car with a smile. In the past he has been torn into two halves, it was like waging a psychological war between his two states but now that the weight that has been pressing on his shoulders was gone, it was like taking a deep breath of fresh air.
He was torn because of his family and responsibilities but now that nothing was suppressing him anymore, he will do what he liked as for his grandfather who tried to make him an exact replica of his father and elder brother continuously telling him that 'Fu' family was everything, he can go and suck on a bag of ginger ale.
" Do you like music?" He asked all of a sudden as he turned to Song Yan who was calmly sitting in the passenger's seat causing her to look up and give him a nod. " Excellent, I like hearing music while driving too."
She knew and she was so bored out of his taste in music that she wished she could close her eyes and sleep but instead of the usual operas that Fu Yu Sheng played, a bopping sound came from the speakers of the car's speakers, surprising her so much that she blurted out, " You like bops too?"
" Of course I do," Fu Yu Sheng nodded his head along the rhythm as he drove past the streets. " I have always liked them."
"But you always listened to the operas—-"
" Ah, that? That was because of my grandfather. He told me that an efficient boss was someone who keeps a chic profile and classic tastes, I am not looking down on people who like operas since my father and elder brother liked it as well but that's just not me, I damn near fell asleep every time I had to play those records." Fu Yu Sheng answered softly, it wasn't that he liked dressing up in greys or blacks, nor did he like eating in fancy restaurants and listening to operas, his taste wasn't as refined as his brother's and that was why his grandfather worked even harder than he did when he was teaching his elder brother.
Fu Yu Sheng didn't want to let his grandfather down and worked even harder coupled with the doll, he suppressed himself to the point that he lost himself and became a doll himself.
" But I don't want to do what I have been doing all along," he turned his head to Song Yan and smiled brilliantly.
Soon, she and Fu Yu Sheng arrived at the Wu family's main residence. Song Yan's eyes twitched the second she saw Wu Genji's eyes snapping close at Fu Yu Sheng, she of course didn't miss the admiration that flashed in those murky eyes and her bad feelings got even more intense.
She knew it bringing Fu Yu Sheng all dressed and ready to impress like this was a mistake.
Father and Mother Wu doted on their daughter very much which was why when Wu Genji asked them to invite Fu Yu Sheng to lunch at their house neither of them said a word of refusal. However, mother Wu wanted to invite Fu Yu Sheng alone when she saw that Song Yan was sticking close to Fu Yu Sheng, she wasn't pleased with all and at the same time, her heart ached for her daughter.
Her daughter was so good in everything but because of her weak physique she has to suffer like this yet Song Yan who had nothing except a good body was able to marry into the Fu family.
Mother Wu has doted on her daughter very much she has given her daughter everything that she has asked for ever since she was young and what was more she even admired Fu Yu Sheng a lot, so she hoped that Fu Yu Sheng could wake up and realise that he was making a mistake by choosing Song Yan over Wu Genji.
Moreover, her daughter was no longer as sick as she used to be when she was young. But even so, Fu Yu Sheng has never her daughter given another look after he walked into the house, why? What part of her daughter was bad? She has a good background and she looked good as well, she was a thousand times better than Song Yan!
Though Mother Wu was really displeased with Fu Yu Sheng as well as her youngest son who invited Song Yan to their house, she still plastered a fake smile and welcomed the two in a sickly sweet voice. " Ah, Master Fu and Miss Song, you two finally came, Genji has been waiting for the two of you to arrive ever since the morning."
When Fu Yu Sheng heard Mother Wu call Song Yan 'Miss Song', he had a rough idea of what she was trying to do, his smile dropped a little and his face turned a bit gloomy. If he was to choose between the ferocious Song Yan and the demonic Wu Genji, he will naturally choose Song Yan at least the latter was still human!
So after hearing Mother Wu's words, he calmly and with an indifferent smile said, " Madam Wu, it seems that you have made a mistake. Yan'er is my wife so please address her as Mrs Fu or madam Fu, or else if my grandfather was to hear it, he will think that things are not good between the two of us. Alarming an old man like that I don't think it is a good thing right?"
