"Fei Fei, are you busy these days?" Fu Cheng, who was exercising, suddenly turned his head and looked at Fei Nuo.
Feinuo was running and thought carefully for a moment after hearing Fu Cheng's words: "It's nothing, I've almost bought everything."
"Then don't go out these days." Fu Cheng retracted his gaze from the window, paused and then spoke lightly.
He originally thought that the Tantai family would not come so early, but unexpectedly he underestimated their shamelessness. The barbell was gently placed on the ground, and Fu Cheng wiped the sweat from his head and face.
"Master, the Tantai family is here." Mother Chen knocked on the gym door to remind Fu Cheng as he had been told before.
Fu Cheng shook his sore wrist and said casually: "Just come."
Feinuo rolled her eyes while jogging. She clearly didn't want to see them and came without saying anything, but she just thought in her heart that the Tantai family was ashamed of the Fu family anyway, so even if their family was neglectful, it was natural.
Fu Cheng sat calmly on the ground and rested for a while, then went to the bathroom to take a shower, and then slowly left the gym.
"A Cheng." Seeing him coming down, Tantai Jingyang immediately stood up and greeted him.
"Why are uncle and aunt free to come here today?" Fu Cheng just pretended to be stupid. They were asking for help, and there was no need for the Fu family to join in.
Tantai Jingyang's expression was so sarcastic that he and a junior bowed their heads, but he still couldn't shake that look.
"Brother Cheng, where is the concubine? In two days' time, the engagement ceremony between me and the concubine will be held. I want to take her to try on the dress." Knowing that his father wanted to save face, Tantai Chenyu directly took over the conversation.
"That's right." Sun Jiayu quickly echoed her son's words, "We ordered a dress for Concubine, and now the designer is waiting for her to try it on and make a final decision. Concubine is just like my daughter. Of course we have to at such an important moment. Stay with her."
Fu Cheng was speechless, he pretended to be stupid, and they even got into trouble: "Aunt Tantai is trying her best, but our concubine cannot be your daughter."
He keeps saying that he treats Fei Nuo as his daughter, but is not merciless at all when he takes advantage of her. He would rather Fei Nuo never marry than suffer in the past. It's not like the Fu family cannot afford to support her.
"How could it be?" Sun Jiayu said with a forced smile, "Concubine has always been close to me, and she will soon become the prospective daughter-in-law of our Tantai family. How can she not be my daughter."
"It's enough for the concubine to have our Fu family. Not just any cat or dog can treat her as his daughter." Since they were ignorant, he didn't have to save face for them.
"You...this is how the Fu family taught you to speak!" As soon as Fu Cheng finished his words, Jingyang blushed. Except for some twists and turns in his marriage in the first half of his life, everything else could be said to be smooth sailing. Now he is about to retire. How could he not be angry when he was criticized by a junior?
"You've done everything, why are you afraid of what others will say?" Even when facing the elders he had known since childhood, Fu Cheng did not soften his tone. He always only respected those who deserved respect, and never knew what it meant to be polite to those who looked down upon him.
Tantai Jingyang stood up from his seat: "Where's Fu Yuan! Go call him out, I want to talk to him!"
He didn't believe it. He and Fu Yuan had been friends for so many years. How could he still watch Fu Cheng mocking him in such a minor way?
"No need to shout, I'm right here." Fu Yuan came down directly from upstairs, "I heard everything Acheng said, but I don't think what he said was wrong."
The two families have known each other for many years, and Fu Yuan didn't want to cause too much trouble. Although he was dissatisfied with the Tantai family in his heart, his tone was quite calm.
"Uncle, the things in the newspaper are all false. Our families have known each other for many years. Don't you know each other's nature?" Knowing that the matter could not be hidden, Tantai Chenyu retreated instead of advancing.
"You don't need to say this anymore. It's written clearly in black and white in the newspaper. There's even evidence. How can you make us believe it?" Fu Yuan threw the newspaper on the table and patted it hard. "I'll do the rest too. Without further ado, the engagement between the Fu family and the Tantai family is cancelled!"
"Brother Yuan, Chen Yu was just framed. He really loves Feinuo. Don't cancel the engagement because of me and Jingyang." Sun Jiayu wanted to take Tantai Chen Yu out. Her husband was unreliable, but she could still Relying on his son, as long as the engagement is not cancelled, there is still room for change.
"Okay! No matter what you say or what difficulties you have, we have canceled this marriage!" Fu Yuan waved his hand to stop Tantai Chenyu who still wanted to speak, "Butler, see the guests off!"
"What should Chen Yu do?" After being kicked out without mercy, Sun Jiayu was a little confused. The Fu family was the last straw. She couldn't imagine what would happen to the Tantai family after the engagement was cancelled.
Tantai Chenyu didn't have any ideas: "Mom, let's go back first and think of a solution after we get back."
The three of them comforted each other and left in a hurry, not noticing Fei Nuo standing at the second floor window.
After getting rid of the annoying people, Fu Cheng walked to the second floor window in a happy mood: "What do you think, Concubine?"
"It's very enjoyable, but what should I do if I want to see them in more miserable condition?" Feinuo raised her head curiously and asked him. Her tone was joking, but her expression was very serious. She really wanted to see their desperate struggle, like this The degree is far from sufficient.
Fu Cheng shrugged: "Since you want to see it, I can only let them stay with me until the end."
When Feinuo heard this, she lowered her head and picked her nails, and after a moment she laughed softly.
The next day, the Fu family's statement of breaking off the engagement was published in the newspaper. The statement was very brief. It only stated that the personalities of the engaged parties were incompatible and that it was not suitable for a hasty engagement.
Feinuo had been staying at home peacefully, but Tantai Chenyu's phone calls came one after another. At first she would press it, but after a few times, she would just throw it aside and ignore it.
In the seven years since the end of the world, she had long been accustomed to living without a mobile phone, and now she had a ready-made reason to throw it away openly.
In the evening, Feinuo was lying on the balcony basking in the sun. Chen's mother came over with freshly baked desserts: "Miss, Miss Fei just called and said she was coming to visit tonight."
"Miss Fei?" Feinuo thought for a moment before finding this person in her memory.
"Miss, you don't remember." Mother Chen put the dessert in front of Feinuo, "Miss Fei is still Madam's niece. She even stayed at Fu's house a few years ago."
"Well, I didn't forget." Fei Nuo took a spoonful of the dessert and swallowed it before speaking casually, "Fei... Xiaoxue, right? I remember that she was thin and small, with very big eyes."
"Yes, that's her." Speaking of the appearance of her concubine Xiaoxue a few years ago, Chen's mother couldn't help laughing.
The first time she saw Fei Xiaoxue, she thought it was the master who had picked up an orphan from the road. His sallow face looked just like someone from a refugee camp. Later, it was her who used various tricks to replenish her body, which made her regain a little bit of her cuteness and sweetness.
But that was a few years ago, and I don't know how she is now.
Fei Xiaoxue came back with Fu Yuan. Fu Yuan went to Fei's house for something and brought her back by the way.
"Sister Nuo." Fei Xiaoxue said sweetly as soon as she saw someone, "I miss you so much. I always wanted to come and play with you, but my father wouldn't let me."
As she said this, she pouted her lips childishly to express her anger.
"Don't be angry. I told your father that we will stay here for a few more days this time." Fu Yuan would always subconsciously take more care of the younger members of the concubine's family.
In the past few years, the Fei family has gradually declined. If possible, he would like to remind the younger generations before the end of the world. Even if the Fei family has no talents to develop, they will not be too miserable.
"Thank you, uncle." Fei Xiaoxue thanked her politely. Her demeanor was generous and she no longer looked like the shyness and timidity she had a few years ago.
They exchanged greetings with each other and then went back to their rooms to sleep.
Tantai's house, study room.
"Chen Yu, is your method feasible?" Sun Jiayu sat opposite her son and asked worriedly. Since she came back from Fu's house that day, she has not seen Tantai Jingyang again. Her husband can't find anyone, so she can only find her son. .
"Mom, the problem now is that I can't see Feinuo at all!" Tantai Chenyu has become a lot haggard in just two days. The Tantai family can no longer afford it. If he doesn't take action, it will be too late. "I have no choice but to go out." This is the next best thing.”
"But, Concubine..." Sun Jiayu was still a little hesitant. As a woman, she knew how painful it would be for her once things happened as her son imagined.
"Mom, we don't have time to be kind to women now." Tantai Chenyu interrupted her impatiently. If there was a better way, he wouldn't do it.
"That... okay then." In the end, Feinuo was still not as important as her son or herself.
The only reason to blame is that she is Fei Yuxuan's daughter. She was jealous of Fei Yuxuan back then, but now she dislikes Fei Nuo.
Every time she sees Feinuo, she will think of Fei Yuxuan. When she thinks of Fei Yuxuan, she will remember her own unworthiness and humbleness. Therefore, no matter how close she and Feinuo are, she can never treat her sincerely. .
"Mom, it's okay, as long as we treat her well in the future." Tantai Chenyu comforted her. Although he knew that his mother would not refuse, he still had to pretend.
"Well, Mom knows, be careful and don't leave any clues." Sun Jiayu warned him worriedly.
