Chapter 231: Made Up My Mind

Fu Sijue's remark was breezy, and it instantly changed Fu Zhuo's previously smiling expression.

"This marriage arrangement is something I specifically picked out for you…" Fu Zhuo hadn't finished speaking when Fu Sijue interrupted him with a glance.

Fu Sijue's eyes held a faint, half‑smile, "Uncle, since you have the time, you should pay attention to cousin's affairs instead of wasting time on me."

Fu Zhuo wouldn't let Fu Sijue get away so easily, so he brought Fu Mingcheng into the discussion.

"Look, your grandfather is already that old; can't you spare him some worry?"

That was a moral blackmail, which Fu Sijue flatly refused to swallow.

"I already have a child; isn't it Uncle who's in a hurry? I heard cousin still doesn't even have a girlfriend. Uncle should be worried about cousin, not me."

Fu Sijue remained completely calm, not caring about Fu Zhuo's words at all.

Whether he marries or not is none of an outsider's business.

"A Jue, why have you become like this? I'm doing all this for your own good!" Fu Zhuo wore a face of anguish, putting on a full performance in front of Fu Mingcheng.

Fu Mingcheng could only shake his head helplessly.

If these words were useful, Fu Zhuo wouldn't have to come here to persuade.

"Dad, say something!" Seeing his words no longer work, Fu Sijue stopped pretending, and Fu Zhuo grew anxious.

His goal today was to get Fu Sijue to agree to his request; if he couldn't even manage this, how could the Yun Family trust them?

Fu Mingcheng, inexplicably caught up in this, felt very helpless; he turned his head and met Fu Sijue's meaning‑laden gaze.

"Uncle, are all the things you said today actually what Grandfather told you to say?"

Fu Sijue's eyes were cold, exuding a chilling aura, and Fu He Song felt a sudden thump in his chest.

He was clearly displeased.

Fu Mingcheng coughed twice helplessly, "You're not a kid anymore; you have to start a family. Yao Yao's child needs a mother, right?"

The successive pleas from several people not only failed to soften Fu Sijue's stance, he even let out a cold snort.

"The year Wanwan disappeared, I told Grandfather that I would never be with anyone other than Wanwan in this life. Even now it's the same: no woman besides Lu Xiwán can ever set foot in my Hengshan Gongguan."

Fu Sijue's words were decisive, leaving them no room to continue persuading.

Fu Zhuo wore a troubled expression; before he could speak, Fu Mingcheng spoke first, "You little brat, are you really not taking your grandfather seriously?"

"Grandfather also knows what kind of person Yun Ruojin is; ask yourself, is someone like that truly suitable to be the face of our Fu Family?"

Yun Ruojin's methods may not be any cleaner than Gu Qingmeng's; she merely has a powerful clan, and no matter what mess she makes, someone can cover for her.

"A Jue, don't be so absolute. You and the Yun Family's little girl may have no feelings now, but after spending some time together it might improve. Besides, the girl truly likes you; otherwise why has she worked for the Fu Clan for so long?" Fu Zhuo remained persistent, earnestly urging Fu Sijue.

Fu Sijue considers even a glance at Yun Ruojin a waste of time, let alone spending time with her.

Now that he knows Lu Xiwán has returned, Fu Sijue is even less inclined to mess around with them.
