Chapter 1056: Also Gave Fu Huai’an a Call!
“Great-Grandma…” The little fellow greeted Old Madam Fu obediently, but he didn’t go near her.
Old Madam Fu smiled and called for Housekeeper Ye…
Housekeeper Ye hurriedly handed the big red packet to Old Madam Fu. Old Madam Fu was indeed extremely fragile now. Merely the weight of a red packet was enough to make her raised arm quiver as she handed it to Tuan Tuan with difficulty.
Tuan Tuan turned back and looked at Fu Huai’an. Seeing Fu Huai’an nod, he went up and received it, then said, “Thank you, Great-Grandma…”
Housekeeper Ye’s eyes turned red. He smiled as he stood behind Old Madam Fu, happy for her, and at the same time, upset for her.
“The doctor said that, with my health, I might not last beyond three days, so I wanted to come and visit you and Tuan Tuan…” Old Madam Fu smiled at Fu Huai’an and said, “Seeing that you’re living well, my heart is at ease!”
This time, Old Madam Fu had come to the Fu residence firstly because Chinese New Year’s Eve was a day where a family should gather together. Secondly, she wanted to see Fu Huai’an and Tuan Tuan once more and arrange her affairs for after she passed on.
“In the end, I divorced Fu Qingquan before my death. We divided our assets clearly, and a lawyer was present, so there’s nothing to dispute!”
Old Madam Fu then took a long breath before continuing, “Now that you’re the largest shareholder of the Kaide Corporation, the shares of the Kaide Corporation don’t have much meaning to you, so I didn’t persist on clinging to them. Fu Qingquan only had his eyes on the shares, so he relented on the other areas! Housekeeper Ye…”
Housekeeper Ye hurriedly handed the document under his armpit to Fu Huai’an. “Young Master Huai’an…”
The document was thin. Fu Huai’an opened and glanced at it. Inside was Old Madam Fu’s will.
Fu Huai’an browsed through it roughly. It was written in Old Madam Fu’s will that all her assets would be inherited by Fu Huai’an alone after her death.
“Stop saying things like you don’t want it. I also know that when I previously wanted to transfer my assets to you, you didn’t sign the documents. You didn’t even care for it…” Old Madam Fu said after Fu Huai’an finished looking through it. “But I have only one blood-related kin in you. Who else can I leave this to, if not you? If you don’t want it, then deal with it as you wish after I die…”
Old Madam Fu’s breath was uneven from speaking so much. Housekeeper Ye soothed Old Madam Fu’s chest to help relieve the unease.
“Huai’an, Housekeeper Ye has made arrangements for my funeral. You can choose not to attend my funeral, but after I die, I’ll be buried with your mother! I’m afraid you might misunderstand, so I need to explain it to you first. I’m not deliberately giving you trouble by choosing to be buried with your mother. I’m not trying to make you see me when you pay respects to your mother. Huai’an… I only want to be together with my daughter! We’ve been apart for a long time…”
Fu Wan was Old Madam Fu’s only child, so how could Old Madam Fu not love her?
Especially for a person who had grown old and was about to depart from the world, the things that were her greatest regrets in life also became the things she was most concerned about…
Lately, Old Madam Fu had been like this—she would dream of the day Fu Wan walked out of the house. And this time, she didn’t leave Fu Wan to her own devices out of spite. Instead, after Fu Wan divorced, she fetched Fu Wan and Fu Huai’an back to the house, and they lived happily together after.
Fu Qingquan wasn’t in that blissful dream. This was why Old Madam Fu decided to divorce Fu Qingquan before her death.
All these years, she had been too stubborn. What was the point of fighting to her death to keep the title of Old Madam Fu? From how Old Madam Fu looked at it… the reason was now so vague that she couldn’t even recall it.
Out of spite, she had left her daughter to her own devices and wasn’t even aware when her daughter died!
Also out of spite, despite clearly knowing that Fu Qingquan no longer had any feelings towards her, she hogged the position of Fu Qingquan’s wife using their marriage.
She was about to die, and after she learned to take things easy, she suddenly became enlightened.
However, towards Lin Nuan… Old Madam Fu still wasn’t fond of her. Despite finding out how terrible of a person her ideal great-granddaughter Chu Xun was, she still didn’t quite like Lin Nuan.
It was one thing to dislike her, though. This time, Old Madam Fu wasn’t planning to blatantly reveal her dislike for Lin Nuan in her expression, language, or actions. Fu Huai’an and Tuan Tuan both liked Lin Nuan, and Old Madam Fu didn’t want to fall out with the two of them because of Lin Nuan.
After she was done saying all this, Old Madam Fu didn’t wish to stay and be a nuisance. So she just asked, “In the future, when you pay your respects to your mother, can you offer me a joss-stick too?”
Old Madam Fu asked rather humbly.
The only person who was related to her and might remember her after she passed on… and could offer her a joss-stick, was perhaps only Fu Huai’an.
Old people were more or less superstitious, and she didn’t want to be so pitiful after she passed away, to have no one remember her.
Fu Huai’an nodded.
After getting a satisfactory reply, Old Madam Fu said to Housekeeper Ye, “Let’s go, Old Ye…”
Housekeeper Ye gazed at Fu Huai’an, wanting Fu Huai’an’s heart to soften and for him to ask Old Madam Fu to stay and have reunion dinner with them at least.
But Fu Huai’an didn’t do as Housekeeper Ye hoped. He peacefully watched as Housekeeper Ye and the chauffeur helped the frail Old Madam Fu into the car and placed the wheelchair into the trunk.
Housekeeper Ye slightly nodded at Fu Huai’an, then got into the driver’s seat, feeling disappointed, before leaving the Fu residence.
On the eve of Chinese New Year, Tuan Tuan received a large red packet from Papa and Mama and Uncle and Aunt. He also received one from the Lins’ Grandma and Grandpa… whilst Great-Grandpa and Great-Grandma had a video chat with him. Even Lin Chen and Lin Ran appeared on the phone screen. They took out a large red packet and waved it before the phone screen, saying it was a large red packet they had prepared for Tuan Tuan. They told him that they would give it to him the next time they saw him.
After that, Fu Tianci, who was forced to undergo training by Fang Yan and was preparing for the launch of his showbiz career, also gave Fu Huai’an a call!
With his talent and mouth alone, Fu Tianci was already very popular, but Fang Yan still forced him to attend bodybuilding classes, vocal training classes, and dance lessons. She was planning to let Fu Tianci appear before the public as a celebrity when the theme song for “Eagles on the Sea” was released before it went on screens after Chinese New Year.
While his other classmates were having fun and relaxing, Fu Tianci worked to exhaustion every day, but he felt it was fulfilling, and it made him happy!
Nonetheless, Fu Tianci still complained about Fang Yan in front of Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an. Other than wishing Fu Huai’an, Lin Nuan, and Tuan Tuan a happy Chinese New Year’s Eve, he said he was coming over tomorrow to give Tuan Tuan, Fu Huai’an, and Lin Nuan a big red packet. After all, he was an uncle and a grand-uncle…
Fu Huai’an hung up the phone quietly. Song Yao, who was listening by the side, nearly couldn’t hold in her laughter. That little puppy, who was so much younger than Fu Huai’an, claimed to be his uncle? What a scary image.
On Chinese New Year’s Eve, it started snowing heavily outside.
