Chapter 216: I Protect You

His gaze kept shifting downward, finally landing on the arm that Fu He Song had draped over his shoulder.

Fu Sijue's eyes were full of annoyance, and in the end he could only manage to utter a single sentence.

"Cousin, from now on don't have any physical contact with me; I don't like others touching me."

Fu He Song only then realized it and stepped back several times.

"Sorry about that; I got used to being carefree abroad and assumed everyone was like us. I didn't expect you, A Jue, to be so delicate."

Fu Sijue's reaction was even more infuriating than Fu He Song's words.

He pulled out a handkerchief, slapped himself twice with it, and then tossed it straight into the trash can.

"I'm just not used to having something dirty on me; as long as you, cousin, remember that, it's fine."

This was a veiled insult calling Fu He Song dirty, and any normal person wouldn't be pleased.

Fu He Song's complexion changed instantly, yet he forced himself to suppress the urge to strike.

"Time has flown; it's been such a long while, and the family has changed a lot," Fu He Song steadied himself and continued to ingratiate himself with Fu Sijue.

Fu Sijue said, "Grandpa contacts you every year."

Those who don't return are also them, so what right do they have to say such things now?

Fu He Song's face completely lost its composure, and he was as mute as a gagged person, unable to utter a single word.

After a long while he recovered, gave Fu Sijue a dry laugh twice, and said, "We were too busy abroad before; after returning, we'll definitely spend more time with grandpa."

He thought it was settled, but the next second met Fu Sijue's cold stare.

"Then that's good."

Fortunately, Fu Sijue didn't make things difficult for him; after speaking, he walked straight inside.

Inside, Fu Zhuo coaxed Fu Mingcheng into great happiness, laughing so broadly his mouth couldn't close.

Fu Zhuo's gaze fell on the sullen‑faced Fu He Song, and he immediately understood what was happening.

"He Song can't speak; A Jue, you need to be more tolerant. In our Fu Family it's just the two of you juniors; from now on you must continue to support each other."

Every sentence was still tied to blood relations, and Fu Sijue heard it without any reaction.

Seeing Fu Sijue appear angry, Fu Zhuo also grew anxious.

"Quickly apologize to A Jue, put away that whole abroad lifestyle, and behave properly at home!"

After Fu Zhuo's scolding, Fu Mingcheng hurriedly grabbed him, fearing that the next second he might start disciplining Fu He Song.

Fu Sijue bowed his head slightly and said, "I have no quarrel with him."

He turned his gaze to Fu Mingcheng, having had enough of their concern, he grabbed a random excuse to leave.

After leaving, he called Shen Shu, "Send someone to keep an eye on them and protect grandpa well."

The old man still held a share of the stock, and Fu Sijue feared they would let greed erode their humanity.

Fu Sijue hung up, yet his heart thumped anxiously, as if he had a bad premonition.

Before he could think it over, Fu Sijue was summoned to the company by a call from Fu Mingcheng.

Because Fu Zhuo and his son had returned, Fu Mingcheng specifically arranged for someone to introduce them to the current Fu Clan.

Fu Sijue did not refuse Fu Mingcheng's request.

No matter how harsh the words, Fu Zhuo and his son are still members of the Fu Family, and that face must still be given.

Fu Sijue had nothing to say, but that didn't mean everyone else was convinced.

All remaining eyes in the company focused on Fu Zhuo and his son; any slight mistake would be magnified infinitely.

Before leaving, Fu Zhuo specifically reminded Fu He Song to behave properly in front of outsiders.

"President Fu has been handling affairs for so long, and now two more people have been parachuted in? Can we ever have a peaceful life again."
