Mr. Fu put down the tea cup in his hand, stared at Zheng Linxu opposite him for a long time, and then laughed.
"You are very smart." He commented, "You are just saying these things to give me, an old man, face. Since Liangliang has decided to be with you, you should know that I can't stop her."
Zheng Linxu: "You are right, but rather than having to compromise because you can't stop it, I hope you will support and bless us."
He paused briefly and then added the second half of the sentence: "Zhizhi must have thought so too."
Mr. Fu: "Liangliang's father has mentioned something to me about your matter."
He didn't say clearly what it was, but Zheng Linxu could immediately understand what he meant.
Seeing Zheng Lin's expression of understanding, Mr. Fu then asked: "Have you thought clearly?"
Zheng Lin said: "It was a decision made after careful consideration."
Mr. Fu: "Then do you know how restricted your life will be after you marry her? A family like ours has to sacrifice a lot."
Mr. Fu was not using this to intimidate Zheng Linxu.
What they have taken for granted in this circle over the years may be unacceptable to outsiders.
Zheng Linxu's previous lifestyle and behavior were difficult to find overlap with them.
Taking the simplest point as an example, according to the Zheng family's style, if Zheng Linxu held a wedding, it would definitely be extremely high-profile and luxurious.
But it's impossible for their Fu family to do this.
Even their overseas activities need to be reported. Fu Xiaozhi and Fu Muye's previous studies abroad had been approved at all levels.
Zheng Linxu nodded solemnly again: "I know."
"More than these, I'm more worried about the impact my past events will have on her or the Fu family." One of the purposes he came to talk to Mr. Fu today was for this purpose.
Mr. Fu wanted to find some other emotions on Zheng Linxu's face, but he never found it.
He acted very sincerely, at least he seemed to be sincerely considering the Fu family.
Mr. Fu didn't speak for a while, and Zheng Linxu continued, "Neither Zhizhi nor her brother has taken this path, but I'm not sure whether her father's work will be affected by this, so I wanted to confirm with you."
These matters mentioned by Zheng Linxu had been discussed by the Fu family as early as when Zheng Linxu stayed in southern Sichuan to take care of Fu Xiaozhi.
Mr. Fu already had the answer in his mind, but he did not tell Zheng Linxu directly. Instead, he asked: "What if I say it has an impact? What are you going to do?"
After Zheng Linxu pondered for a moment, he gave his own solution: "I will donate all the assets in my name."
Mr. Fu paused while drinking tea.
Although I knew before that Zheng Linxu was bound to sacrifice, I didn't expect him to make such a promise.
Men know their ambitions and pursuit of power best, not to mention people like Zheng Linxu who come from fighting in a turbulent environment.
Mr. Fu chuckled softly at the end: "After donating it, are you going to step in the door of our Fu family?"
Zheng Lin said: "It's okay if you don't dislike it."
He followed his good deeds, "Zhizhi's career is booming, and it's good for me to take care of her food and daily life at home."
Zheng Linxu's words made Mr. Fu laugh even louder.
After laughing, Mr. Fu said: "If I had known what would happen today, why would I do it in the first place?"
Zheng Linxu: "I regret that I caused harm to Zhizhi, but if I could do it all over again, I would have made the same choice. After all, otherwise, I might never know what is more important to me. .”
Mr. Fu doesn't like people who talk sweet words, and he doesn't like people who make excuses for themselves.
Zheng Linxu has long understood Mr. Fu's temperament, and Fu Xiaozhi is almost a replica of him——
Obviously such an honest answer is more convincing to them than saying "I will never give up on her if I do it again."
Mr. Fu: "Since Qingcheng Capital has nothing to do with you, we won't investigate in detail."
"Her father's career does not need to rely on your sacrifice." This sentence was a response to Zheng Linxu's question just now.
After hearing this, Zheng Linxu nodded slightly and asked tentatively: "Can I understand that you will support Zhizhi being with me?"
Mr. Fu said nothing.
Zheng Linxu: "If you don't support or care for the time being, after all, I have a criminal record, so it's normal for you to be worried."
He was polite and sincere, "I just hope that when Zhizhi brings me back in a few days, you won't put too much pressure on her."
This is Zheng Linxu's real purpose of coming to Fu's house this time.
It can be seen from Fu Xiaozhi's evasive attitude last night that she is still under great pressure to deal with her elders.
Of course, all this pressure is caused by him, and it should naturally be resolved by him.
Mr. Fu understood what Zheng Linxu meant, "That's my granddaughter. Of course I feel more sorry for her than you do."
Zheng Lin said: "You are right, I worry too much."
Mr. Fu: "You are considerate of others and willing to sacrifice anything. No wonder that stubborn donkey has to be you. Knowing what you have done for her, you may be secretly wiping tears at night."
Zheng Linxu: "So I need you to keep it a secret for me."
Mr. Fu was startled, "You mean..."
"Well, she doesn't know." Zheng Linxu nodded, "I did these voluntarily. I don't want to kidnap her through this kind of sacrifice. I just hope that she chooses me because she likes me."
"Including the fact that I came to talk to you today, I also take the liberty to ask you not to let her know."
This time Mr. Fu didn't speak for a long time.
Until Fu Qicheng and Min Ting returned from their trip.
Seeing Mr. Fu and Zheng Linxu sitting in the yard, their expressions immediately became serious.
Fu Qicheng and Min Ting walked up quickly, "Dad, what are you..."
"Thank you, Mr. Fu, for giving me this opportunity." Zheng Linxu stood up, bowed again, and then looked at Fu Qicheng and Min Ting: "I'll visit you another day. I won't disturb you today."
After Zheng Linxu said hello, she turned to leave. Mr. Fu suddenly said, "Let's stay and have lunch before leaving."
Zheng Linxu paused.
Fu Qicheng and Min Ting also showed surprised expressions. They never expected that the old man would take the initiative to stay with Zheng Linxu for dinner.
——
When Fu Xiaozhi came out to go shopping with Fang Qinyang, she told her about her relationship with Zheng Linxu.
Fang Qinyang suddenly stopped thinking about shopping and took Fu Xiaozhi to the dessert shop to sit down and gossip.
Fang Qinyang: "Didn't you say that you haven't thought clearly about the remote location yet and thought of a solution?"
Fu Xiaozhi: "He will stay in Beicheng from now on and will not leave."
Fang Qinyang was stunned for a few seconds, "What about his company? Just don't care about it at all?"
Fu Xiaozhi: "I'm not sure. Maybe I work online."
After hearing this, Fang Qinyang held his chin and smiled so hard that his eyes almost narrowed.
She teased aloud: "You can't tell, Boss Zheng actually wants beauty rather than power."
