“What trouble? How can a mother be absent from her son’s wedding?” Qiu Xingmi smiled kindly. “Well, I can be absent from his wedding, but I will not be absent from your wedding. In any case, I have to come, haven’t I?”
Shi Jin smiled. Old Madam Fu coughed lightly. “Zhaoxiang, is it just the two of you?”
Fu Zhaoxiang said in a deep voice, “Dad didn’t make an accurate statement, so…”
“Hmph.” Old Madam Fu snorted. “No one is begging him to come.”
Qiu Xingmi was very respectful to Old Madam Fu. She smiled and said, “Mom, Dad might have to take care of some things before he can come back, but I believe it’s impossible for him not to come back for Xiuyuan’s wedding.”
!!“Whatever.” Old Madam Fu sipped her tea unhappily.
Qiu Xingmi knew that the reason why Old Madam Fu and Old Master Fu had been fighting all these years was because of her.
Back when she was sick, for the sake of the entire Fu family, Old Master Fu wanted Fu Zhaoxiang to get a divorce. Only Old Madam Fu had always supported her. She was still very grateful for this favor.
She stood up and massaged Old Madam Fu’s shoulders. “Mom, calm down. Xiuyuan is in the capital, and Zhaoxiang is also here. Dad must have some things to deal with. Actually, during this period of time, I’ve seen that he has been missing you very much. He will definitely come back sooner or later.”
Old Madam Fu’s tone softened. “Don’t help him say anything nice. Anyway, he has always been like that. He has a stubborn temper and doesn’t know how to be humane. When he’s not around, I’m still happy to be at peace, and I occasionally take care of Little Nine. Isn’t life more carefree than when he’s around?”
“Yes, yes, yes. You have a good life, so you must be happy, but as the saying goes, when a young couple grows old, they will need company. If Dad comes to accompany you, you won’t bear for him to leave, right?” Qiu Xingmi said with a smile.
Fu Xiuyuan and Shi Jin sat on the sofa, listening to her. They smiled calmly at each other.
Old Madam Fu was subdued by Qiu Xingmi. She smiled and said, “You’re the only one who knows how to coax people. You’re so eloquent. Why isn’t your son willing to learn?”
“My son is the calm and magnanimous type, like you and his father. Isn’t this compatible with Shi Jin?” Qiu Xingmi’s words flattered the entire family. It was no wonder that Old Madam Fu had always stood on her daughter-in-law’s side all these years.
“Alright, alright, let’s go eat.” Old Madam Fu called out, “Butler, let’s eat!”
Everyone was about to sit around when they heard the butler shout in surprise, “Old Master! You’re back?”
Everyone looked up and saw Old Master Fu walking in.
The entourage walked behind him with two huge suitcases. He didn’t often come to the imperial capital in the past, and he rarely brought so much luggage.
Old Madam Fu glanced at the suitcase and retracted her gaze.
“Grandpa.” Shi Jin and Fu Xiuyuan greeted him.
“Dad.” Fu Zhaoxiang and Qiu Xingmi greeted.
Old Madam Fu pursed her lips. “I thought you wouldn’t come over.”
“My grandson and granddaughter-in-law are getting married. How can I not come?” Old Master Fu strode in. “If I don’t come, what would it look like?”
“Ha.” Old Madam Fu pursed her lips. “Since you’re here, just eat something.”
“Grandpa, sit.” Fu Xiuyuan made way for Old Master Fu.
He sat down casually and asked Shi Jin, “How’s the preparation going? Has Xiuyuan prepared well? Tell Grandpa what’s missing.”
“Who wants anything from you?” Old Madam Fu said. “I’ve already prepared a lot for Shi Jin. We don’t need you to ask.”
“Shi Jin is also my granddaughter-in-law. Since she’s getting married, of course I have to prepare something for her!” Old Master Fu’s beard curled up.
Old Madam Fu snorted and did not speak.
Qiu Xingmi smiled and said, “Mom, Dad, you’re all doing this for Xiuyuan and Shi Jin’s sake. You must have prepared everything for their wedding. No matter who prepared it, it will be good for them, right?”
Only then did they stop arguing.
Fu Xiuyuan put some food into Shi Jin’s bowl. “This is your favorite stir-fried sweet shrimp. Eat more.”
“You should eat more too.” Shi Jin gave him a smile.
The meal was considered to be over peacefully.
After the meal, they ate some fruits and desserts. Shi Jin could tell that Old Master Fu had something to say to the Old Madam, so she said to Fu Xiuyuan, “It’s getting late. We should go back soon.”
“Aren’t you going to sit for a while longer?” Old Madam Fu asked.
“We’ll come and visit you and Grandpa another day. We still have something to prepare when we go back today,” Shi Jin said with a smile. “Xiuyuan and I will go back first.”
Qiu Xingmi was also very quick-witted. She smiled and said, “In my opinion, we should go and rest early as well. Hubby, let’s go.”
After the juniors left, the butler came over to deliver some tea. Old Master Fu picked it up and tasted it carefully. “These are tea leaves from Shi Jin, right? The taste is still so pure. During my time in Hong Kong, I’ve really been craving this taste.”
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go rest too. Get the butler to tidy up the guest room for you.” Old Madam Fu was about to get up.
“Jiahui.” Old Master Fu reached out to stop her.
Old Madam Fu stopped in her tracks. It had been a long time since she heard him call her name like this.
Old Master Fu put down his teacup and held her hand, but he did not put it down. “I was wrong. In the past, I always felt that the interests and honor of the family were more important than anything else, and feelings had to be ranked behind. But now, look at my son and then at my grandson. If people can’t learn to love, how can they love their profession? How can they have the motivation to strengthen the family and revive the glory of the family?”
He recalled that the two of them had been estranged for many years because of Qiu Xingmi. They had a cold war all year round and lived separately. Once they had a disagreement, they would hang up the phone. All of this seemed like it was from years ago.
Now that he thought about it, a lot of obsessions were paranoia to begin with. Unnecessary fighting.
Old Madam Fu sat back on the sofa. Her face was already old, but her aura was still there.
Old Master Fu pointed at the two large suitcases and said, “Don’t chase me away this time, okay? Give me some face in front of the juniors.”
“Who’s kicking you out? When wasn’t it you who said you were leaving?”
“In the past, it was a matter in Hong Kong. No one took over. Now that Zhaoxiang is back, with him around, do I still have to worry about these things? Naturally, I have to come back.”
Old Madam Fu pursed her lips slightly. “Then stay in Hong Kong and enjoy your life. Why come back?”
