Chapter 159 So this is what it feels like to watch a good show!
An Ying ignored An Xiaoxiao's provocation.
She lowered her eyes and stared at the teacup in front of her, her fingers gently stroking the rim of the cup.
An Xiaoxiao had disliked her for a long time; it was only because her IQ had dropped to negative numbers that she had to argue with An Xiaoxiao over these verbal disputes.
The most important thing today is to get through Grandpa Fu's ordeal; nothing else matters.
The already stagnant atmosphere in the restaurant became even more stiff.
Fu Mingyi took out a handkerchief and began to wipe his sweat.
Strange, the outdoor temperature is clearly below zero, so why is the indoor heating so hot today?
He tried to change the subject: "My second brother and Chengli should both be with the old man."
No one responded.
The restaurant was so quiet that you could hear the giant floor clock swinging.
The attempt to shift the topic failed.
While eating her ice cream, Fu Shiling sneered, "An Xiaoxiao, the one who shouldn't be allowed to step into the Fu family is yourself."
An Xiaoxiao was taken aback.
Ever since Fu Shiling spilled wine on Old Master Fu at his birthday banquet and made him look bad in public, An Xiaoxiao has held a grudge.
Unfortunately, Fu Shiling is a genuine heiress from a wealthy family, so she can neither scold her nor discipline her; she can only glare at her angrily.
An Xiaoxiao put on a pitiful expression, pouted, and said, "Shiling, what are you saying? I don't understand."
Fu Shiling licked the small spoon of ice cream and grinned.
“I have a friend who is a rich second-generation who runs a hotel. He told me that he has seen you and the second young master of the Du family in Yuncheng going to a hotel room several times.”
An Xiaoxiao's expression changed drastically in an instant.
An Weiping remained stunned in his seat.
Xu Mei looked at An Xiaoxiao, then at Fu Shiling, her mouth agape in an "O" shape.
An Xiaoxiao's marriage to Lu Qiyao fell through. She couldn't marry into the Lu family, but a slightly wealthier family than the Lu family wasn't out of the question.
What should be done if Fu Shiling's nonsense ruins An Xiaoxiao's reputation?
Xu Mei said in a panic, "What? Shi Ling, how could you say such things about my daughter? My Xiao Xiao is very innocent and doesn't understand anything. Where did you get all this nonsense from?"
Fu Shiling chuckled: "I made it up?"
The atmosphere became even more tense.
Fu Mingyi wanted to cover his daughter's mouth.
But Fu Shiling has been used to throwing tantrums since she was a child, so who can control her?
Last time at Grandpa Fu's birthday banquet, she dared to argue with An Xiaoxiao in front of so many people, which ended in a very unpleasant situation.
Grandpa Fu had no choice but to resort to deducting his monthly allowance as the final punishment.
I heard that they only withheld the money for one month. In the second month, when Grandpa Fu refused to pay, Fu Shiling went to Fu Chengli to ask for the money.
The punishment had no effect.
Fu Shiling tossed the ice cream box into the trash can beside her and said lazily, "An Xiaoxiao, if you're going to court death, then die somewhere else. Don't drag the Fu family into it. Do you even know what Du Yun and Du Sheng's gang in Yuncheng do?"
An Xiaoxiao looked bewildered. She and Du Sheng met at a bar in Beicheng and had known each other for a long time.
All she knew was that Du Sheng was very rich and a wealthy playboy; she knew nothing else about him.
Fu Shiling crossed her legs: "Back in Yuncheng, at the banquet hosted by the Gu family..."
"enough!"
An Weiping suddenly slammed his fist on the table and shouted, his face turning ashen.
Memories resurfaced in my mind.
The Du family was involved in what happened in Yuncheng back then.
That year, the head of the Du family was still alive, and his two sons, Du Yun and Du Sheng, were both very young.
At that time, the Fu family and the Gu family had a good relationship, and the Gu family specially arranged for their newborn daughter's 100-day celebration to be held in Yuncheng.
In an instant, Yuncheng was filled with wealthy families from all walks of life who came to offer their congratulations to the Gu family's little princess.
Later, due to An Weiping's mistake, the Gu family's little daughter was lost.
Later, the Gu family and the Fu family fell out.
After the falling out, the Gu family withdrew their investment from the cooperative project, directly causing the Fu family's investment projects to lose hundreds of millions of yuan in profits.
Madam Fu was so angered that she was hospitalized and passed away not long after.
An Weiping, who lost the Gu family's daughter, became the culprit.
After Madam Fu's funeral, Old Master Fu turned around and, leaning on his cane, kicked An Weiping out of the house.
Everything has changed.
He went from being a spoiled and dissolute son of a wealthy family to a homeless dog who was kicked out of the family home.
Overnight, everything changed.
An Weiping stared angrily at Fu Shiling.
How could a little girl like her know so much? She wasn't even born when that incident happened in Yuncheng.
Who else could have told her that? It must have been Fu Mingyi, who spoils his daughter too much.
Fu Mingyi is a round-faced man who usually looks listless and timid.
As a result, he had a loose tongue and would blurt out everything.
Especially given the Du family's shady history of accumulating wealth, the old man had always disliked associating with such people.
Last time An Ying said on the phone that An Xiaoxiao and Du Sheng were having an affair, he beat An Xiaoxiao up when he got home that night.
She was ordered to never associate with the Du family again.
An Weiping has finally been able to return to the Fu family safely after so many years of freeloading.
If Old Master Fu finds out again that his adopted daughter has an improper relationship with someone from the Du family...
I'm afraid I'll be kicked out of the Fu family a second time and starve.
bang——
The door to the restaurant was pushed open.
Grandpa Fu walked in, leaning on his cane.
Fu Shiling obediently shut her mouth, opened another box of ice cream, and called out with a smile, "Grandpa!"
An Xiaoxiao's face was still pale.
An Ying picked up her teacup and took a sip of water.
She glanced silently at An Xiaoxiao, whose expression was blank.
Those who deliberately try to stir up trouble will end up losing more than they gain, getting themselves into trouble.
Kind of funny.
As Old Master Fu walked to the head seat at the dining table, Butler Zhao helped him into his seat and then stood with his hands behind his back.
Fu Haidong sat down with a furrowed brow, remaining silent and preoccupied.
An Ying felt the chair next to her move away, and she turned her head to look.
Fu Chengli crossed his legs and leaned back lazily in his chair.
An Ying turned her head to stare at him, trying to decipher something from Fu Chengli's deep black eyes...
What did they talk about in Mr. Fu's study just now?
Fu Chengli didn't flinch at all; he tilted his head and stared straight back at her.
The two stared at each other for a few seconds.
Then, he gave her a bright smile.
An Ying: "......."
He's not aloof at all.
These days, with more and more contact with Fu Chengli, An Ying seems to have almost forgotten that beneath Fu Chengli's playful exterior lies a deeply scheming side.
Old Master Fu coughed and slowly said, "Shiling, I just heard you mention the Du family in Yuncheng, what's going on?"
An Xiaoxiao was so nervous that the hairs on her body stood on end.
Even more unpleasant than An Xiaoxiao's expression were that of An Weiping and Xu Mei.
An Ying raised an eyebrow as she watched this scene.
Wow, watching a good show feels so great!
