Chapter 724: 0714 I don’t need your consent!

"Miss Chu means to suggest that I’m harboring ill intentions, is that it?"

Chu Xiyao’s expression froze, and then she heard Su Ran say:

"Although I don’t know what I did to make Miss Chu have such a misunderstanding, our starting point is all for Grandpa Fu’s well-being. Grandpa Fu is old and can’t withstand much hardship, but can he really endure these repeated fainting spells?

I’m not questioning the medical skills of Fu family’s doctors without reason. Like Miss Chu said, they have been with the Fu family for decades and know Old Master Fu’s health the best. Yet now, they can’t even properly treat a fainting episode, how can this be reassuring?

Besides, given that even the Second Young Master, who is his own grandson, agrees with me, I wonder what standing Miss Chu has to counter my point?"

Chu Xiyao’s eyes darkened, but she masked it well.

Forcing an unnatural smile on her face, she said, "I’m sorry, it was a misunderstanding on my part!"

Su Ran shook her head, very "understandingly," said:

"It’s okay, I just hope that there won’t be such misunderstandings next time!"

Chu Xiyao smiled, but her hand at her side clenched into a fist.

In the end, the three of them still didn’t leave. If they had left knowing that Old Master Fu had ’fainted,’ that would have truly been asking for trouble!

The main residence of the Fu family!

When everyone arrived at the hall, the Old Master Fu, who was supposed to have "fainted" in bed, was now sitting in the seat of honor with a stern expression.

His presence exuded authority without anger!

Fu Qixiu couldn’t help but roll his eyes; he knew it!

To keep his brother there, Old Master Fu really had exhausted every trick!

But the Old Master Fu was mistaken if he thought he could use this tactic every time—his brother was not so patient!

Just as they walked into the hall, a stack of documents came flying at them.

Fu Qiyuan shielded Su Ran behind him, glanced at the documents, and saw they were all about Su Ran, complete with photographs.

His brows furrowed, and he looked at Old Master Fu with an icy expression.

However, Old Master Fu’s face grew even uglier, and he stood up with a slap on the table.

"This is your choice of partner? Explain this to me, what’s the meaning of this?!"

Fu Qiyuan pulled Su Ran to a chair on the side to sit down and carefully picked up all of her photographs, before saying unhurriedly:

"Aren’t you very clear about what’s going on?"

Old Master Fu slammed his hand heavily on the table, "I do not agree!"

That one sentence dropped the temperature in the hall to an all-time low!

There were others in the hall, the younger generation of the Fu family and Chu Xiyao.

Hearing Old Master Fu’s words, Fu Yizhi looked at Su Ran with some concern.

And Chu Xiyao, undisturbed, as calm as a breeze!

Fu Qiyuan dusted off the photographs, carefully placed them in his pocket, and then spoke:

"I don’t need your agreement!"

"You..."

Old Master Fu looked at Fu Qiyuan coldly, so angry he fell back into his chair, and after a long while finally said furiously:

"Qi Yuan, you’ve really disappointed me. I can tolerate any other nonsense from you, but your choice of wife is related to the Fu family’s future. What on earth do you see in this woman? I was expecting someone from a respectable and well-known family, yet she’s just a lowly designer. Didn’t you see what she has done? Taking over the Su family, suppressing the Gu family, she doesn’t care about past affections, has a deep and calculating mind, and ruthless methods, how can someone like that be your wife? How can she be the Matriarch of the Fu family in the future?!"

Fu Qiyuan snorted, lifting his eyes to look at Old Master Fu.

"Deep and calculating, ruthless methods, isn’t that how you’ve been teaching me since I was young?"

Old Master Fu’s face darkened, then he heard Fu Qiyuan continue:

"My wife doesn’t need to be too kind; if she likes it, even if she stirs up the heavens, I will support her!"

Hearing his older brother’s words, Fu Qixiu’s face lit up with admiration.

His serious eyes instantly turned into ones sparkling with stars, brightly showing the message: "Damn, my big brother is so cool!"

However, others couldn’t sympathize at all.

The atmosphere in the main hall plummeted once again, even the faint smile on Chu Xiyao’s face became a few shades paler.

Old Master Fu, trembling with rage, pointed at Fu Qiyuan and roared:

"Backing her up, how else do you plan to support her? I asked you to attend the banquet, and this is the scene you created for me. You think making her public does her good, don’t you? Have you thought about the future? Have you?

By doing this, you’re pushing her into the eye of the storm. Do you realize how many people are waiting to catch you out, looking for your weaknesses? Now that you’ve revealed her, do you think they’ll let her go?

No, they will only attack her more recklessly, and you will have to spend more time and energy to protect her. And her? What can she do? Other than holding you back, what else can she do?"

Chu Xiyao slightly curled her lips on the side.

Family background, indeed, is something this woman cannot make up for in her entire life.

Did she think Grandpa Fu looked down on her purely because of her family’s status?

No!

Apart from not being able to help Qi Yuan in his career, more importantly, she would become a distraction and burden to him!

This is the consequence of having no family background, no backing.

And this consequence is a fact she cannot change for the rest of her life!

The atmosphere at the scene was utterly solemn!

And at that moment, Fu Qixiu spoke shocking words.

"What does my sister-in-law need to do? As long as she agrees to help my brother have children, that’s good enough! After all, my brother can’t make a baby on his own!!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Everyone looked at Fu Qixiu with strange expressions, including Su Ran standing beside him.

Seeing this, Fu Qixiu blinked his innocent big eyes.

"What’s the matter? Did I say something wrong?"

Fu Qiyuan looked at his brother gently, "You’re right!"

Fu Qixiu instantly felt smug, "Humph, I knew it, I’m indeed the one who understands you the most in this world! What’s the big deal about finding a wife with a matching social status? My brother has no feelings for them, marrying them is just for show!

Although I don’t know since when my brother’s wife is related to the future of the Fu family, Grandpa, you surely wouldn’t want my brother to die without heirs, right?!"

"You..."

Old Master Fu was left speechless with anger.

"I’m not wrong! Over all these years, when have you ever seen my brother get close to a woman? He finds those women scarier than the plague, okay? Now that he has finally brought back the mother of your great-grandsons and great-granddaughters, you actually want to break them up? Grandpa, you’re not getting senile, are you?!"

"You... You scoundrel!!" Old Master Fu erupted in anger.

Fu Qixiu instinctively shrank his neck and habitually hid behind Su Ran.

Old Master Fu, fuming with anger, couldn’t help but cast his eyes on Su Ran’s stomach.

Finally, he stubbornly said:

"Regardless, I don’t agree!"

Fu Qiyuan narrowed his eyes and his lips moved slightly, with Su Ran promptly grasping his hand.

"Can you tell me the reasons why you disagree?"

Old Master Fu’s sharp gaze fell on Su Ran, who showed no panic or timidity, but instead spoke with a light smile:

"Just don’t say it’s because I took over the Su Family, suppressed the Gu Family, implying I’m scheming and ruthless. Since you’ve investigated my background, you must know there’s a reason for everything.

I don’t think I did anything wrong, nor do I believe the Fu family needs a matriarch who’s meek, weak, and cannot stand firm for the Fu family!!"
