Chapter 215: All Are One Family

Fu Zhuo laughed, patted Fu Sijue's shoulder, and let out a hearty laugh at the attendants behind him.

"It seems the changes aren't limited to Haicheng; when I left, A Jue was still a little brat, and now he's already the capable President Fu."

Fu Sijue handed his suitcase to the bodyguard and, regarding Fu Zhuo's praise, merely gave a slight nod.

"Uncle and cousin only returned today?"

Fu Sijue's seemingly casual question made Fu Zhuo's expression flicker slightly, then quickly return to composure.

"I ran into a problem on the road, got delayed a bit, and He Song arrived before me."

Even when putting on a performance they know the full routine, which shows they've made some progress.

Fu He Song, hearing that, quickly interjected, "I arrived yesterday, but my health was a bit off, and I was afraid the family would worry, so I never dared tell them."

Fu Sijue didn't bother with pleasantries; he simply watched the two's act calmly from the side.

"Grandpa has been constantly talking about you."

Even these words were spoken by Shen Shu to Fu Sijue on the road just now.

Otherwise, he had no intention of making small talk with Fu Zhuo.

Being the subject of Fu Sijue's sudden concern, Fu Zhuo felt a bit uneasy and let out several awkward laughs.

"It's not that I've been too busy working outside, without even a moment to make a phone call; only in recent years have things settled down, and now I'm thinking of returning home to take a look."

"I heard Uncle is preparing to go public in the Imperial Capital; does that mean he's planning to move all the businesses back to the domestic market?"

Fu Zhuo, a smooth operator, has many friends at home and abroad, and soon after returning home he earned a modest reputation.

It's not as hard as he says.

Even when his lie was exposed, Fu Zhuo showed no hint of embarrassment.

"Fallen leaves return to their roots; ultimately we must go back to our homeland. It's just that I lack your experience in domestic matters, so I'll need you to help and support me."

Fu Sijue naturally was reluctant to agree, yet he didn't refuse too overtly.

"Take a look when you have time."

This truly reflects his usual way of speaking; seeing Fu Sijue so straightforward, Fu Zhuo actually breathed a sigh of relief.

What they wanted to see was Fu Sijue's cluelessness about human affairs, so they could have a chance to act.

"If I go back to Haicheng to develop… A Jue, you wouldn't have any objections, would you?"

To be able to say that, Fu Zhuo would as well have a big sign on his forehead that reads "I need help."

However, Fu Sijue is forgetful; the words he just uttered, he turned his face and forgot them.

"In Haicheng, the industries are largely dominated by the Fu Clan; there's little room left in the domestic market for Uncle, and it's enough that Uncle has the ability to settle and make a living in the Imperial Capital."

He gave Fu Zhuo absolutely no face.

Fu He Song's veins on his face bulged.

This wasn't to receive their two elders; it was plainly a way to lay a warning before them.

Fu Zhuo scoffed twice, "I've long heard that A Jue is capable; the Fu Clan's current standing is half thanks to you."

Fu Sijue paused, then, as usual, said without stopping, "Thank you, Uncle, for the compliment."

Fu Sijue was not modest at all.

So, once on the car, Fu Zhuo and Fu He Song stared at each other; even though the air was thick with awkwardness, they refused to speak a word.

They feared that before they could even accomplish their mission, Fu Sijue would kill them with his anger.

"Why does the old house look different from before?"
