Seeking love through marriage: Mr. is too arrogant

In the dark mansion, the phone receiver was put down.

The butler looked at Mr. Fu who was at the side, lowered his voice and asked hesitantly: "He has been notified, master, why...you called him at this time?"

Mr. Fu turned his head and glanced at him lightly, and said in a deep voice, "He has become more and more presumptuous recently, and it is difficult to control him."

With that said, Mr. Fu stood up on crutches, took a few steps towards the desk, and stopped.

"Ah Ye is still very close to that girl from the Jiang family?" He asked with his head tilted, his dark eyes swept across the butler's silent face.

The butler immediately lowered his head and said cautiously: "The young master was just fascinated by the beauty for a while, you don't have to worry..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Mr. Fu snort coldly.

"Greed for beauty for a while? It would be fine if he was really in love for a while. It's just that the Fu family has always produced the seeds of infatuation, huh... Forget it, let's leave him alone. Let's talk about it later. Xi Hua, recently what happened?"

As Mr. Fu said, he frowned in dissatisfaction.

"A few days ago, she told me about Ah Ye's marriage. What she meant was that she wanted Ah Ye to decide for herself." Mr. Fu touched his crutches and moved his fingertips slightly, "Why, she recently married the daughter of the Jiang family. Have you ever had contact?"

"This..." The steward's voice paused, and he thought for a while before saying: "I haven't heard that Madam is close to her. It's just that Madam didn't let us follow her when she went out recently, so..."

Then, Mr. Fu frowned deeply.

He walked towards the desk without saying a word, and it was not until a long time after he sat down that he finally said lightly: "Everyone's wings are hardened, and they are disobedient. Tell me, am I too used to them? "

The housekeeper pursed his lips and kept quiet, not daring to speak any more.

"Find a reason to spend Xihua. When Xiao Lu comes, let him come to see me in the study." Mr. Fu leaned on the cloud-patterned mahogany chair, closed his eyes, and ordered in a calm voice.

"Okay, master." The butler bent down and asked in a low voice, "You don't have any other orders, so I'll go down first?"

Hearing this, Mr. Fu raised his hand and waved it lightly twice.

The butler silently retreated to the door, and gently closed the study door for him.

……

The sun is just right.

The vegetation in the courtyard of Fu's old house is more lush.

It's not the first time Lu Sichen has come here.

When passing by the corridor, he casually pointed to a clump of flowers in the courtyard and asked, "I haven't been here for a long time, but the flowers here are blooming as well as ever."

The butler stood by his side and only smiled softly upon hearing this.

"The old man has never liked to play with these things. The flowers and plants in the yard are just watched and tended by the servants. But the old man has a benevolent heart. This bush that is in full bloom is just a wildflower seed that fell from nowhere last year. The gardener pulled it out. It happened that the old man saw it and told him to stay."

After the housekeeper finished speaking, he smiled: "Otherwise, by now, this cluster of blooming wild flowers would have rotted into mud somewhere in a corner."

There was something in his words, and he clearly meant something.

Lu Sichen's expression changed.

Turning his head and staring at the butler for a moment, he could only smile in the end, and said in agreement: "The old man is the most soft-hearted."

Then, the housekeeper nodded slightly, did not continue this topic, and led Lu Sichen towards the study.

"Mr. Lu, the old man is waiting for you inside."

In front of the study door, the housekeeper stopped and did not move forward.

After bending slightly towards Lu Sichen, he left directly.

Lu Sichen looked at the butler's back and waited for a moment, and after contemplating, he pushed open the door of the study.

……

Cao Xihua glanced out of the car window, his thoughts sinking slightly.

The servant who went out with her was quite critical: "What kind of important guest, even the wife can't see it, and you have to go out under such a big sun."

"The old man's arrangement must have his own intentions." Cao Xihua squinted at her, frowned and said, "Don't talk too much about things you shouldn't ask about."

The servant shrank his neck from being reprimanded, and responded in a low voice: "Madam, I was wrong."

However, even though he said so, Cao Xihua couldn't help but cast down his eyes.

Who is it that the old man went to see her behind his back?
Is it someone she can't see, or is it someone Fu Qingye can't know?
While she was thinking about it, she heard the servant muttering in a low voice: "But at this hour, where should I go?"

Looking at the watch on his wrist, Cao Xihua thought for a while, picked up the phone and said softly: "I originally wanted to ask Manxue to go out in a few days, since today happened to happen, why don't I call her now to have a gathering?" get together."

The servant couldn't help lowering his head and sniggering.

"Madam really likes Miss Jiang more and more now. Does that mean we will have a young lady soon?"

Cao Xihua replied with a smile: "As long as the relationship between the two of them is good, then I can rest assured."

While speaking, Jiang Manxue's phone was connected.

"Manxue." Cao Xihua called Jiang Manxue's name affectionately, "Are you busy today?"

Jiang Manxue was a little surprised when she first received a call from Cao Xihua, but now she came to her senses and quickly replied, "I'm not busy. Ma'am, why are you looking for me when you have time?"

"It just so happens that I have nothing to do today and want to go shopping. Do you have time to accompany me?"

Cao Xihua didn't say too much on the phone, he just invited.

Naturally, Jiang Manxue would not refuse her. Lu Sichen had to leave and Jiang Siya had returned to the hospital. She had nothing to do with her, so she only paused for a moment, then nodded and agreed.

As a result, Cao Xihua was even happier, and after agreeing on a meeting place with her, he hung up the phone.

However, when he turned his eyes to look out the window and saw the black car following not far away, Cao Xihua's eyes sank a little again.

At the same time, Lu Sichen was already standing in the study of the Fu family.

"You called me, what's your order?" Facing Mr. Fu, Lu Sichen slightly lowered his head, his eyes naturally fell a few centimeters in front of his feet.

"Sichen is here." Mr. Fu raised his hand and beckoned, motioning for Lu Sichen to come over.

He held his cane in one hand and poured a cup of tea from the teapot in the other.

However, when he finished speaking, Lu Sichen didn't move forward.So, Mr. Fu paused while pouring tea, and continued to greet him.

"Stop standing there, come and sit."

It wasn't until he said that that Lu Sichen moved away and sat down cautiously opposite him.

"A few days ago, the people below brought some good tea. I was bored drinking alone, and no one accompanied my old man to drink tea." Then, Mr. Fu gently pushed the teacup in front of Lu Sichen, "This Didn’t I just remember that you also like this mouthful, so I called you over. Try it?”

Lu Sichen felt cold in his heart.

He raised his eyes to look at the old man sitting across from him, and saw that he was already holding the teacup with a smile on his face, blowing away the steaming heat.

After a few seconds of pause, Lu Sichen lowered his head and picked up the teacup as well.

"Good tea." The aroma of the tea has already hit my face before I drink it.

"Yeah." Mr. Fu seemed very satisfied with Lu Sichen's praise, "It's really good tea, and this tea is not common."

Lu Sichen took a sip and put down the teacup gently.

"Although it's good tea, it shouldn't be this year's new tea." Lu Sichen glanced at the teacup and said softly.

Then, Mr. Fu clapped his hands and laughed.

"Sure enough, you are still smart, and you can taste it." After finishing, he picked up the teacup and drank it down. "It is indeed not a new tea this year. This tea has been around for a long time, and it was given by an old friend of mine. But it has always been I kept it, but I didn’t drink it. They found it a few days ago, so they brought it to me.”

Having said that, Mr. Fu took the ceramic tea pot beside him and sighed.

"In a flash, so many years have passed."

Seeing that his expression was not the same as before, Lu Sichen wisely didn't answer.

But even so, Mr. Fu has already moved.

He put down the tea pot in his hand, suddenly looked at Lu Sichen and said, "Speaking of which, you also know my old friend."

As he said that, when he saw Lu Sichen looking up, he seemed to smile kindly.

"This tea was given to me by Jiang Zhengyang many years ago."

Although he said this with a smile, his eyes were full of undisguised temptation and arrogance.

Lu Sichen's hands on his knees were tightly curled up.

The moment he heard the name, he clenched his back molars and his cheeks were slightly sunken.

"Old Fu." Lu Sichen lowered his voice, as if trying to hide his anger, "What do you mean?"

"What?" Old Master Fu asked instead, as if he didn't understand why Lu Sichen was so angry.

He waited leisurely for Lu Sichen's next words.

"You know that I and the Jiang family are at odds! That man from the Jiang family has ruined my family! You let me drink his tea?!" His forehead was stretched with veins, as if he was desperately suppressing that he would explode at any time. grief and indignation.

"Of course I know." Mr. Fu refilled his cup of tea in a lukewarm manner, with no extra expression on his face.

Lu Sichen raised his head sharply: "Then you are—"

He stood up, hands clenched into fists hanging at his sides.

The words spit out are sonorous and powerful.

"Old Fu, it was you who sent someone to tell me the truth about my parents' death. It was you who helped me to avenge my parents for so many years. You are my benefactor. However, this does not mean that You can insult me ​​in this way!"

After finishing speaking, Lu Sichen bowed deeply to Mr. Fu, turned around and was about to leave.

"Stop!" Mr. Fu shouted, and put down the teacup in his hand heavily.

Immediately, Lu Sichen paused.

"You are young after all. I just let you drink a cup of tea, and you put on your posture. It's fine if it's me. If someone else came to test you, would you still tell me everything about that year?"

"Exploring?" Lu Sichen's posture was well-balanced.

Hearing this, he turned around, looked at Mr. Fu in confusion, and asked, "Mr. Fu, why did you suddenly..."

"I just heard that someone is investigating the case of Jiang's family again recently. You are inseparable from the case of that year, and there is no guarantee that no one will investigate you." Mr. Fu said, and gave him a light look. .

"You are so restless, if someone finds out about you, you will be in big trouble then."

When he finished speaking, he saw a little doubt on Lu Sichen's face.

"Old Fu, who is investigating the case of Jiang's family back then?"
