Ch 12: The Fu Family is Your Eternal Backing
Back at the Fu Family, Fu Yanci perked up, gesticulating wildly as he told Old Madam Fu about what had happened at the Xia Family.
His expression was always sulky.
“Mom, they even treated my wife like a servant.”
With the intelligence of a three or four-year-old, he already knew how to complain.
Moreover, Fu Yanci seemed to subconsciously know that Old Madam Fu could stand up for Jiang Zao.
“I called Nephew Jin Feng and told him to manage his wife, but those people forced me to make the call again, saying I was joking. I didn’t want to, and they glared at me like monsters in cartoons, wanting to eat the monk.”
Thanks to the cartoons he had been watching these past two days, Fu Yanci’s adjectives had become richer. As far as he was concerned, all bad people were monsters who wanted to eat the monk.
Old Madam Fu’s face had darkened as early as when Fu Yanci said the first sentence.
“Outrageous!” She slammed her coffee cup down. “Is the Xia Family trying to slap the Fu Family in the face?”
Jiang Zao was sitting to one side. “Mom, don’t get angry. It’s not worth ruining your health for them. I’ve already broken off relations with them, and I won’t take A-Ci to the Xia Family again in the future.”
Even if this might make Old Madam Fu mistakenly think she was ungrateful, she had to do it.
Having lived a second life, there was no reason for her to still carry the shackles of the Xia Family.
Who knew that Old Madam Fu would get up and sit next to Jiang Zao, taking her hand.
“I’m not feeling sorry for Yanci, I’m feeling sorry for you, child.”
Jiang Zao was surprised.
Old Madam Fu continued, “Actually, when I decided to switch the marriage alliance partners, I had someone investigate your situation, and I also learned about your difficulties in the Xia Family. Madam Xia is a selfish woman. If you’re willing, you can treat me as your mother from now on. As long as you’re good to Yanci, the Fu Family is your eternal backing.”
Although this promise had the prerequisite of taking care of Fu Yanci, Jiang Zao was still very grateful to Old Madam Fu.
“Mom, the Mor Research Institute has a new project, which is a high-end smart robot. They are looking for a partner. I think the Fu Corporation can strive to be the agent. What do you think?”
The Fu Family’s Old Master died early. Before Fu Yanci came of age, the Fu Corporation had always been steered by Old Madam Fu. She was an absolute female powerhouse in the business world, and her shrewdness and vision were not something ordinary people could compare with.
Sure enough, Old Madam Fu’s expression became serious.
“According to the trends of the past few years, high-end intelligence will definitely become the trend of the future. Yanci also intended to develop in this direction before, but he didn’t have time to implement it yet. I’ve also heard of this Mor Research Institute. Although it hasn’t been established for a long time, the projects it has done are very popular in the market.”
Jiang Zao nodded. “Yes, the smart flying saucer that A-Ci plays with is the result of the Mor Research Institute.”
“Oh?” Old Madam Fu really didn’t know this.
Fu Yanci was playing with it at the moment. The flying saucer was flying all over the room. He could control it freely and would never easily bump into anything. Moreover, the mute effect was good and would not disturb others.
He was also having a lot of fun. Sitting on the carpet, the smile never left the corner of his mouth.
Old Madam Fu watched for a while and felt that this flying saucer was quite interesting.
She looked at Jiang Zao. “If you think it’s feasible, take the Project Department to do it. However, there should be many competitors for such a good project. You have to be mentally prepared. If you need anything, just tell Mom then.”
“Thank you, Mom.” Jiang Zao was very grateful for Old Madam Fu’s support.
Although this support had the prerequisite of taking care of Fu Yanci, it was already very rare for her to give her so much freedom and power.
After dinner, Jiang Zao gave Fu Yanci a bath. Before the story was halfway through, he fell asleep.
Perhaps he was really tired during the day.
Jiang Zao helped him cover the quilt and stuffed the newly bought penguin doll into his arms to replace her hand.
Fu Yanci’s soul, floating next to him, had red ears at this time. All he could think about was the scene of Jiang Zao giving him a bath just now.
Those soft hands on his body…
Fu Yanci didn’t dare to look at Jiang Zao anymore and turned to face the wall.
If souls could bleed, he thought that his nose would definitely not be clean now.
◈◈◈
The next second, he was forced to float to the study with Jiang Zao.
Jiang Zao planned to make the project proposal overnight and then hold a meeting with the Project Department to discuss it tomorrow.
The servant seemed to have mastered Jiang Zao’s habits, knocked gently on the door, and brought coffee and a fruit plate.
“Thank you.”
Jiang Zao was always polite to the servants.
The study returned to silence, with only the intermittent sound of the keyboard.
Fu Yanci watched behind Jiang Zao, his expression becoming more and more serious, floating closer and closer. When he finally reacted, he realized that his posture was like hugging Jiang Zao from behind.
Jiang Zao was unaware of this. She was still deleting and revising the project proposal, determined to make it perfect so that the people in the Project Department could not find any faults, and then win this project to really suppress those people.
After checking the time, Jiang Zao picked up her phone and looked at Weibo.
Sure enough, the hot searches were all news about Zheng Xiao’s perfect conclusion to her tour.
Jiang Zao smiled and called Zheng Xiao. “The concert is over? Congratulations. Tonight’s hot searches are almost all yours.”
The wind was very loud on Zheng Xiao’s side, and she was not surprised by this result. “Sister’s influence is of course awesome.”
Jiang Zao asked, “Are you outside? Didn’t you go to the celebration party?”
Hearing this, Zheng Xiao flicked the cigarette butt out of the car window. The wind messed up her silver hair, and the smoky makeup made the uninhibitedness in her bones even more thorough.
“Don’t mention it, unlucky. I was street racing with that kid Lin Shaofei, and he couldn’t afford to lose, so he asked for foreign aid.”
Jiang Zao heard it. “You lost?”
This was rare. Zheng Xiao was rebellious in her bones and liked all kinds of extreme sports. Since getting her driver’s license, she had rarely lost when street racing.
“Yeah.” Zheng Xiao didn’t care. “I gave the newly picked-up sports car to Lin Shaofei.”
From her tone, it didn’t sound like she lost a limited-edition sports car, but some worthless toy.
Jiang Zao didn’t expect that she didn’t go to Zheng Xiao’s concert in this life, and such a small episode actually happened.
“Where are you? Do you want me to pick you up?” Jiang Zao was a little worried.
Zheng Xiao smiled and said it was okay. “No need, I’m riding in Lu Ming’s car. They insist on throwing a celebration party for me. I’m hanging up.”
Jiang Zao smiled and sent Zheng Xiao a message on WeChat: 【Drink less, be careful of being photographed.】
Zheng Xiao quickly replied: 【I know, housekeeper.】
Fu Yanci saw the interaction between the two.
Zheng Xiao?
Is that the Zheng Family’s Eldest Daughter who came out of the closet at eighteen?
Thinking of this, Fu Yanci felt a little blocked in his heart.
After finishing the project proposal, Jiang Zao got up and moved her body. She returned to the bedroom, glanced at Fu Yanci, who hadn’t moved from beginning to end and was sleeping soundly, took her nightgown, and went to the bathroom.
The sound of rushing water rang out, washing away Jiang Zao’s exhaustion.
Not far behind her, a transparent soul floated in mid-air, his eyes widened foolishly.
