Chapter 180 Scholarships
Yin Mei originally planned to make a sensible exit.
Just thinking about Fu Chengli's calm and composed demeanor in the dressing room...
I've never seen my son so flustered and angry before...
Thinking of this, Yin Mei suddenly felt playful.
She sat at the dining table, resting her chin on her hand and gazing at An Ying, waiting for her response.
Yin Mei's appearance was completely unexpected.
But how could An Ying dare to say no?
We can't just kick Yin Mei out.
An Ying glanced silently in the direction of the bedroom, then went to the kitchen to get a baking pan and meat.
Sorry, Fu Chengli, you can go hungry first. Your mother and I will start eating.
Soon, the grill pan began to sizzle, and the meat slices emitted an enticing aroma.
An Ying skillfully flipped the meat slices, sprinkling them with cumin and salt and pepper.
"Auntie, please try this piece and see how it tastes."
Ding-dong-
New message notification on your phone.
An Ying glanced at the lit screen beside her.
I'm hungry.
While Yin Mei was eating meat, An Ying secretly replied to the message.
"Hold on, don't come out."
Fu Chengli replied almost instantly.
"I can't stand it."
"The prize I was about to win has slipped away, how can I stand it?"
An Ying then realized what his "hunger" meant.
She lowered her head, her face flushed, and typed rapidly.
"Learn to endure."
After eating a few slices of meat, Yin Mei suddenly remembered something.
"An Ying, when did you go to the Fu family?"
An Ying politely replied, "Twelve years old."
Yin Mei looked up at the ceiling, recalling for a moment.
"Yes, I had already divorced Fu Haidong and left the Fu family by then, no wonder I've never heard of you."
Yin Mei, biting her chopsticks, paused for a moment: "How has that woman Gao Lu treated you?"
An Ying: "I didn't have much contact with my second aunt. She was always very polite and warm to me at the Fu family."
Yin Mei smiled.
The laughter had a hint of irony.
"Can't she stop hiding her head and be a decent human being?"
"Back then, she caused trouble at Fu Chengli's birthday banquet while she was heavily pregnant, saying that the child in her belly was also a member of the Fu family, so why shouldn't she be allowed to come? She made a mess of the birthday banquet, and Old Master Fu was furious."
"After I left, she took over as she wished, but those things from back then can't be erased. It always left a bad impression, and Old Master Fu couldn't stand her no matter what."
"Over the years, all I've gained is the empty title of the chairman's wife. Although I'm not worried about food and clothing, I haven't received any real benefits."
“Now that her son has grown up, she will definitely do something to push Fu Chengli out and clear the way for her son to inherit the family business.”
"Regarding the leak you encountered recently, Gao Lu was probably just waiting to see Fu Chengli make a fool of himself. How could I let her succeed?"
An Ying listened quietly.
Finally, she understood why Yin Mei would reappear in Fu Haidong's office years after their divorce, all because of an uncertain leak.
It's all about the family fortune.
Although Yin Mei was no longer with the Fu family, she still protected her son to some extent.
So this is what it feels like to have a mother and family to protect you.
Yin Mei raised an eyebrow and smiled, then waved to An Ying.
“An Ying, come sit here, I’ll show you Fu Chengli’s nude photos.”
An Ying's pupils dilated in shock.
What did Ms. Yin just say?!
An Ying thought she was hallucinating.
"Auntie, I don't... I don't have those kinds of thoughts about my cousin..."
Yin Mei looked down and searched for photos on her phone, then quickly shoved them in front of An Ying.
They gave An Ying no room to dodge.
"Look, this is a picture of Fu Chengli when he was a month old. He was so chubby back then, and he wasn't even wearing diapers. He was so cute, nothing like he is now."
"This is a photo of him with his bare buttocks on his 100th day, hahaha."
As it turns out, you really have to see your own mother's "dark history" to find out.
Yin Mei scrolled through the photos in her hand, sighing silently.
"After divorcing Fu Haidong, I went abroad, leaving Chengli alone in the Fu family."
"Although the old man treated him very well, valued him, and nurtured him, I, as his mother, always felt indebted to him."
“Especially when Chengli was eighteen, he was in that terrible car accident, and I almost thought I was going to lose my child.”
An Ying came to the Fu family after Fu Chengli's car accident.
She only learned some fragmented information about the accident from the mouths of the Fu family's servants and from scattered news reports.
An Ying looked at Yin Mei and asked, "Auntie, was that accident very terrible?"
Yin Mei pondered, "It's more than just terrifying."
At that time, Yin Mei was attending Paris Fashion Week.
Upon hearing about the accident, she immediately used her family's private jet to leave Paris and went straight to the hospital upon landing back in China.
Gao Lu, relying on her status as Fu Haidong's current wife, blocked her from entering the ward and said sarcastically:
"Yin Mei, you have nothing to do with the Fu family anymore. You took so much property in the divorce, what are you trying to do now that you're back? You're not going to use your son's hospitalization as an excuse, are you? You can't be so greedy..."
Snapped!
Before Gao Lu could finish speaking, Yin Mei had already slapped her across the face.
Gao Lu covered her face: "You, you dare to hit me?!"
Yin Mei gritted her teeth and said hatefully, "Gao Lu, you're just a mistress who rose to power, what right do you have to talk to me?"
"Who do you think you are in the Fu family? I don't think you have a right to tell my son what to do."
“I’m divorced from Fu Haidong, but my son is still with the Fu family. If anything happens to him, I’ll take your lives.”
Gao Lu stomped her foot in anger and raised her hand, wanting to slap the other person back.
Yin Mei's bodyguards immediately stepped forward and lifted Gao Lu's arm, making her unable to move.
Gao Lu could only angrily shout, "Yin Mei, let me go! You just wait, I'm going to tell Fu Haidong and let him scold you..."
Yin Mei ignored her and walked straight into the ward.
Looking at the weak Fu Chengli on the hospital bed, Yin Mei's heart was breaking.
Fu Chengli had just woken up from surgery.
He stared blankly at Yin Mei, who was standing beside the hospital bed.
Yin Mei reached out and held her son's hand: "Son, take good care of yourself. There's definitely something fishy about this car accident. I won't let this go easily."
Fu Chengli nodded.
However, the investigation into the car accident was ordered to stop by Old Master Fu.
Ultimately, the truth about the accident was never revealed.
Fortunately, Fu Chengli proved himself capable and rose to the position of president through his own efforts, also gaining control of many of the Fu family's assets.
Yin Mei picked up her chopsticks and poked at the sizzling pork belly in the pot, seemingly lost in thought:
"For a while, I was a little worried about Chengli's mental state."
"I live abroad most of the year. People who have experienced a major accident and survived it usually seek regular psychological counseling from psychologists to ensure that there is no psychological trauma or aftereffects."
"However, Fu Cheng seemed to have no problem with this."
“He was very lively and healthy. Later, he received a sum of money and said he would set up a scholarship at Beicheng Yude High School to support students.”
Yin Mei looked confused.
“He can provide financial assistance if he wants, but why does he have to keep it anonymous? I joked with him, asking when he would suddenly become so kind and do good deeds anonymously, but he was being secretive and wouldn’t tell me.”
An Ying's heart skipped a beat.
Yin Mei picked up the tongs and turned the roasted meat in the pot.
He kept rambling on and on about the interesting things that happened after Fu Chengli went abroad.
However, An Ying was no longer in the mood to listen.
She attended Beicheng Yude High School.
She was someone who had received scholarship funding.
An Ying never dreamed that an unexpected barbecue would solve this long-dormant mystery.
An Ying picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said steadily to Yin Mei:
"Auntie, could you tell me in detail?"
