Why Did You Provoke the Fake Heiress? She Has a Powerful Family Spoiling Her! – Chapter 58

Ch 58: The Feeling of Being Protected Is Really Wonderful

Deng Ruibo: “?”

But he didn’t feel embarrassed.

He continued with a smile: “Oh, sure enough, you’ve grown up and are not close to Maternal Uncle anymore.”

Then he looked at Jiang Zao, his smile undiminished: “This is Yanci’s wife, right? She is indeed a great beauty, and a good match for Yanci.”

Saying that, he took out a jade pendant, “This is a piece of jade I accidentally got when I was young. Jade can nourish people, so take it as a gift from Maternal Uncle. You must not refuse, otherwise you will not acknowledge me as your Maternal Uncle.”

Since he had said so much, Jiang Zao naturally couldn’t refuse.

“Thank you, Maternal Uncle.”

Immediately afterward, she also took out the prepared gift: “I wish Maternal Uncle good fortune as immense as the Eastern Sea and longevity as towering as the Southern Mountain, and may you live younger and younger.”

Deng Ruibo was very happy and accepted the gift: “Okay, living younger and younger is of course the best. My nephew’s wife is so eloquent. Come, come, sit inside.”

Jiang Zao and Fu Yanci sat at the first table.

Apart from the two of them, everyone at this table was an elder, and the reason they could sit here was also because Fu Yanci was the definite successor of the Fu Family.

As soon as Jiang Zao sat down, she felt a resentful and jealous gaze falling on her from not far away.

She turned her head to look.

Xia Chuwei? Because Jiang Jin Feng was, after all, a junior, the two of them sat at the third table.

Even this needs to be envied?

Jiang Zao raised her eyebrows at Xia Chuwei and smiled.

If you want to sit at the head table, work hard in your next life.

Xia Chuwei glared at her hatefully, and the next second, she was called out by an elder at the same table, who started urging her to have children. Everyone at the table chimed in, as if Xia Chuwei having more children would benefit them in some way.

Seeing Xia Chuwei uncomfortable made Jiang Zao feel better.

But this kind of happiness didn’t last long, because the matter of urging childbirth exists in the mouths of every elder.

The same was true for their table.

“Yanci, seeing that you’ve recovered well, when are you and Jiang Zao going to have a child?”

“Yes, so that your mother can also enjoy the happiness of having grandchildren.”

Old Madam Fu was sitting beside them, and she directly blocked such questions: “The young couple are still newlyweds, and they haven’t enjoyed their world of two for a few days. What’s the rush to have children? Zao Zao is still young, and it’s the same if she has them in a few years. Besides, she is currently in the rising period of her career, and she can’t handle the projects she has on hand.”

Relative A: “Oh, what’s the point of a woman being so capable? It’s more important to have children sooner. While you’re young, you can have a few more. More people make it lively.”

Relative B: “Yes, in a few years, Zao Zao will be older. After thirty, she will be a high-risk mother, which is not good for adults and children.”

Deng Ruibo and another male elder could only listen with smiles on their faces. This kind of topic belonged to women, and it was better for them men not to get involved.

Old Madam Fu spoke again: “The reason why my Fu Family marries a wife is not just for having children. Zao Zao is smart and capable, and she works hand in hand with Yanci to build a career, wholeheartedly making plans for the Fu Corporation. She can enter the kitchen and enter the hall. She has only been in the Fu Corporation for a short time, but she has already completed a big project. It is Yanci’s blessing that he can marry her, and it is also the virtue accumulated by my Fu Family’s ancestors. As for children, she can have them whenever she wants. I am content as long as the two of them are happy and loving. As elders, it’s better not to stretch our hands too far, don’t you think?”

Looking at the constipated expressions on the faces of those relatives and elders, who dared to be angry but dared not speak, Jiang Zao only felt completely comfortable.

This feeling of being protected is really wonderful.

After this wave, everyone knew Old Madam Fu’s protection of Jiang Zao, and they also confirmed Jiang Zao’s position in the Fu Family. With calculations in their hearts, they didn’t dare to say anything they shouldn’t in front of Jiang Zao anymore.

◈◈◈

After the banquet, Deng Ruibo extended an invitation to Jiang Zao and Fu Yanci again.

“Yanci, Zao Zao, Maternal Uncle has been abroad for so many years. I didn’t expect Lin City to have changed so much. Find some time another day, and you can take Maternal Uncle around, and bring a few of the younger ones from the family. Alas, I’m getting old, and I just want to be with you young people. Who told me I don’t have any children of my own?”

Fu Yanci subconsciously looked at Jiang Zao.

This conditioned reflex-like behavior was captured by Deng Ruibo. His eyes flickered slightly, but he didn’t say anything.

Jiang Zao nodded: “Okay, then Maternal Uncle can set a time, and we will definitely be there.”

Deng Ruibo took the opportunity to propose again: “When I left Lin City back then, the Fu Corporation wasn’t as powerful as it is now. I want to go to the company and have a look around. I don’t know if it’s convenient? Of course, I know you’re all busy. If it’s not possible, then forget it. I can pass the time elsewhere.”

Using retreat as a means of advance, and with so many relatives around, Jiang Zao really couldn’t say no. However, she didn’t make a decision on her own. Instead, she turned to look at Old Madam Fu.

Old Madam Fu smiled lightly: “You really haven’t been there since the company changed its address. It’s good to go and have a look around.”

This matter was settled.

After returning home, Old Madam Fu carefully told Jiang Zao about Deng Ruibo’s situation.

“Zao Zao should have heard why your Maternal Uncle went abroad back then, right?”

Jiang Zao nodded: “Didn’t they say he suffered from a broken heart?”

Old Madam Fu took a sip of her coffee, “He did have a girlfriend at the time, but I only accidentally learned a few years ago that it was actually your Maternal Uncle who proposed the breakup, and then he went abroad without a word. The woman developed depression because of this and stayed in a sanatorium for many years before recovering.”

“So the reason why Maternal Uncle went abroad wasn’t because of a broken heart at all?” Jiang Zao suddenly understood why Old Madam Fu suddenly brought up these things to her.

“Mom, do you suspect that Maternal Uncle went abroad or has other purposes for returning home this time?”

Old Madam Fu admired Jiang Zao more and more, “You are indeed very smart, very much like me when I was young.”

Being able to remain rational at all times is very important for a leader of a company or even the head of a family.

“When your Maternal Uncle goes to the company, send someone to keep an eye on him. In addition, you must not let Yanci be alone with him.” Old Madam Fu emphasized the second half of her sentence.

Fu Yanci, who was learning boxing with Momo, suddenly stretched his head from behind the sofa and tilted his head to look at Old Madam Fu.

“Mom, why can’t I be alone with Maternal Uncle?”

His eyes were clear, and he couldn’t see the slightest bit of vigilance.

This was also what Old Madam Fu was most worried about.

She sighed softly, “Yanci, you just need to remember to listen to Zao Zao in everything, and try not to leave Zao Zao’s side. If you have to be alone, then bring Momo with you, understand?”

At this moment, she was not the Fu Corporation’s strong woman that many people feared, but just an ordinary mother who was worried about her son.

Fu Yanci nodded: “Okay, I will listen to my wife and listen to Mom too.”
