Chapter 394: Abandoned At Birth

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the Fu residence, the dim lighting made the atmosphere in the living room feel gloomy and depressing.

“Are you sure she’s that child from the He family?” Old Master Fu confirmed.

Fu Shinan nodded.

“That old thing from the He family is really sinful.” Old Madam Fu sighed.

“Back then, in order to avoid family planning, they said that their first child died, but they actually sent her to the countryside.

“Their biological daughter was just born, but she didn’t even get to drink her biological mother’s milk. How heartless.”

Dai Yunqing calmed down and passed the pills and warm water to the two Fu elders. Old Master Fu held the pills and frowned as he thought about something. “Their family wanted a boy to carry on the family line.”

“But in the end, they still gave birth to a daughter the next year, and they couldn’t say that she died again. This is all fate.” Old Madam Fu sighed repeatedly.

“Actually, when they brought the girl back, I saw her once from afar. She was timid and skinny, and she wasn’t even as tall as her sister. She didn’t dare to meet anyone either.” Yu Manxi had changed too much, so no one would have thought that she was the same person.

She used to be dark and thin. And wearing an ill-fitting princess dress, she looked out of place. Especially when she was standing beside her sister, they were simply incomparable.

“Her sister lived in the capital, went to the best schools, and learned piano and dance. She had the best of everything. When her sister was sent away, the countryside was still very poor. The family who adopted her was also quite poor. When they brought her back…”

Old Madam Fu frowned and recalled carefully. “I don’t think she started school yet. She didn’t even know how to write her name.

“When she suddenly came to the capital, she couldn’t get used to the environment of the He family. Moreover, because of this matter, the He family was afraid of being discovered, so they never cared about her and let her fend for herself…”

Old Master Fu continued, “Her father lost his position! And he pushed all the blame on her.”

At the time, family planning had been very tight. And because her father was a small leader then, he couldn’t go against the law and have a second child. When the matter was exposed, he would definitely have to resign.

It wasn’t that the He family didn’t have the money to pay the fine, but they were afraid of losing their jobs because of this. At the time, the requirements for personnel in government agencies were very strict.

Government employees didn’t respond to the policies of the higher-ups… If this was discovered, they would definitely lose their jobs. At the time, the He family’s status in the political scene couldn’t be underestimated, so they naturally wouldn’t affect the entire family because of a child.

But in the end, they couldn’t escape.

“After the matter was exposed, the He family saw her as a jinx, but they had no choice but to bring her back. However, they definitely wouldn’t treat her kindly.” Old Madam Fu lowered her head and took some medicine. She swallowed a few mouthfuls of water, as though she wanted to calm down the sympathy in her heart.

Dai Yunqing sighed. “I really don’t know how Little Yu lived when she returned to the He family.”

“She couldn’t even read when they picked her up, and she was thrown overseas soon after. They obviously didn’t care about her.” Old Madam Fu harrumphed lightly. “This child’s surname isn’t even He now. It’s obvious that she hates them from the bottom of her heart.”

“How could she not be resentful? They’re both daughters, but one of them lives like a princess in the city, yet she could only be abandoned. Even when she went home, no one looked forward to her and welcomed her.” Old Master Fu lowered his head and swallowed his antihypertensive pill.

Dai Yunqing pursed her lips. “When I asked if she had siblings during dinner, her reaction was very strange. Do Sinian and Third Brother know?”

Fu Shinan nodded.

“This pair of uncle and nephew is really impressive. They hid such a big matter so well.” Dai Yunqing harrumphed coldly.

The four of them sighed in the living room and chatted for a while before returning to their rooms.

Fu Shinan took a simple shower. When he came out, his pillow and blanket were already neatly placed beside the bed. “Madam, I’ll be leaving then.”

He automatically picked up the blanket and pillow, knowing that he would definitely sleep in the study tonight.

“Remember to close the door for me.”

“Okay.”

Actually, Fu Shinan had always felt that he had already restrained himself a lot. He had been serious but not lacking a smile.

I’ve never been so formal and nervous in ordinary meetings. Why is she still not satisfied?

When Dai Yunqing heard the door close, she harrumphed coldly. I wanted him to be serious but also maintain a smile. But he sure did a good job of putting on a fake smile for her. Who was he trying to scare?

She took out her phone and sent Fu Sinian a message.

Software Garden condominium…

After Fu Sinian returned with Yu Manxi, the two of them stayed in the car for a while before taking the elevator upstairs.

“Sinian, it’s my first time meeting your parents tonight. After this incident, will they have a bad impression of me? What if they don’t agree to us being together?” Yu Manxi was uneasy the whole way.

At this moment, only the two of them were in the elevator. Fu Sinian had been playing with a mechanical lighter, and Yu Manxi couldn’t help biting her lower lip.

“If your parents don’t agree, will we break up…”

Before she could finish speaking, Fu Sinian had already walked up to her with a frown. “Break up?”

Yu Manxi had only seen him with this gaze the first time she saw him. It was sharp and firm, but it also had an austere and terrifying aura, as if it could devour everything.

This was also why Yu Manxi was attracted to him the first time she saw him.

His gaze was hot and direct, making her blush slightly. Her slender ribs couldn’t hold back her pounding heart. She coughed lightly and tried to avoid his eyes.

But Fu Sinian had already leaned over, lowered his head, and kissed her…

Yu Manxi avoided instinctively. A certain someone turned her chin, and there was a cold metal wall behind her. There was no way out, so she could only harrumph lightly.

All sounds were sealed.

The difference in strength was too great. This was the first time she felt such aggressiveness from Fu Sinian.

Before she could take a breath of air, her entire breath was taken away by him.

He was too strong.

He was too domineering. His tongue parted her lips and teeth, and he devoured everything ferociously.

Fu Sinian completely restrained her, and Yu Manxi could no longer move. She could only passively accept his rough and unrestrained plundering. Her calves were so tense that they were limp and trembling.

The elevator had stopped on the 16th floor long ago, but their breaths were still entangling with each other. His scorching aura made her body go weak.

“Are you having an affair?” Fu Sinian asked softly, his lips touching hers.

Yu Manxi shook her head.

“In love with someone else?”

“No.”

“We won’t break up.” Fu Sinian’s gaze was dark, but his voice was very firm.

There was only the sound of his heart thumping beside Yu Manxi’s ear. Fu Sinian raised his hand and pressed the button to open the door. The elevator opened. He pressed his ear against hers, and his breathing became increasingly hot.

“Your place or mine?”

Yu Manxi started trembling. “Huh?”

“Your place then.” Fu Sinian pulled Yu Manxi straight back to her condo.

Perhaps because she had received Fu Sinian’s affirmative answer, the two of them kissed as soon as they entered the condo. Yu Manxi also seemed exceptionally enthusiastic.

Now, she was almost certain that although Fu Sinian looked aloof, he was definitely not cold.

The scene was too passionate.

The two of them kissed from the door all the way to the living room.

The battle was intense.

Niannian was lying in its little nest. It had already run over to welcome its owner, but Yu Manxi threw her bag at it and almost hit its head. Niannian was so frightened that it shrank back into its nest.

Fu Sinian was very strong. He pressed her against the wall and kissed her all the way down.

… Yu Manxi’s legs subconsciously wrapped around his waist.

At this moment, Fu Sinian’s phone vibrated.

“Phone call.”

“I’ll call back.” Fu Sinian bit her lips. The arrow was already on the bowstring. If he had to endure it now, he would always feel aggrieved and uncomfortable.

But his phone kept vibrating, and Yu Manxi kept pushing him. “Answer the phone first.”

Fu Sinian took out his phone. When the two of them saw that the caller ID was ‘Mother’, Yu Manxi was so frightened that she hurriedly retreated from him. Fu Sinian pressed her down and didn’t let her leave.

But when Fu Sinian saw Dai Yunqing calling, his fire was almost extinguished. He took a deep breath and answered the phone. “Hello.”

“Have you and Little Yu arrived home yet?”

Fu Sinian was used to being alone and didn’t have the consciousness to report his whereabouts to anyone.

He was very close to Yu Manxi, so she could hear their conversation clearly. His mom must be calling to talk about our meeting today. Her heart instantly lifted.

“Yes.”

“I know all about her. She’s a good person. When you have time, bring her back to the old residence. Your grandma likes her a lot.”

“Okay.” Fu Sinian nodded.

Hearing Dai Yunqing say this, Yu Manxi was so excited that she almost jumped up. She bit her lip hard to control herself from making a sound.

“But there’s one more thing…” But Dai Yunqing changed the topic, scaring her so much that her heart instantly skipped a beat.

“What?” Fu Sinian frowned as well.

“The set of skincare products Little Yu gave me today is very good. Help me ask what color the lipstick in the gift is. The color is beautiful. I want to buy one for your second aunt.”

Fu Sinian was stunned. Lipstick?

“Aren’t all lipsticks red?” What’s there to differentiate in this color? They all look similar.

“Get lost! Go find Little Yu to talk on the phone!” Dai Yunqing was furious. What do you mean by all lipsticks are red?

No wonder you were single for more than thirty years..
