Haicheng, this bustling metropolis, wakes up in the morning sunshine. The weather is still a little cold, and there are more and more pedestrians and vehicles on the streets and alleys. People are busy rushing to their destinations, starting a day's rush for life.

There are always many legends of wealthy families in metropolises with tall buildings. To the north of the city center is the residential area of ​​the city's wealthy - the Mid-Levels mansions.

In the Fu family mansion, Lin Luqing also woke up at this time. After turning off the alarm clock, she turned over and looked at the other side of the bed where she had never slept before. She was a little dazed for a moment.

In the dream, she was still studying in the UK, young and in the prime of her life, with a group of friends, a few bottles of beer, complaining about the professor's inhumane grades, complaining about the bad food for white people, saying which college had the most charming girls, which professor was handsome and talented...

Then there is the waking world.

Lin Luqing is what others consider to be a "rich" young lady. The Fu family's business is very big, and Fu Daishi's name often appears at the top of various rich lists. Lin Luqing's husband, Fu Yanheng, is Fu Daishi's eldest son. Lin Luqing also comes from a wealthy family. Her grandfather is a famous shipping tycoon. When the business was passed on to Lin Luqing's father's generation, its momentum grew even stronger. The world tended to be stable, and decades of war in many regions gradually dissipated. With shipping as a backing, the Lin family's import and export business was also booming.

The Lin family was small, and by Luqing's generation, there was only one child, Luqing. The grandfather of the Lin family and the grandfather of the Fu family were close friends, and they had already arranged a family marriage. Luqing knew her responsibility, and after graduation, she went through a lot of twists and turns and finally married Fu Yanheng. Fu Yanheng, the eldest son of the Fu family, should have been the most loved one, but the result was quite different.

At that time, Fu Daishi was engaged but not married yet, but he gave birth to Fu Yanheng with a female employee. The Fu family was furious and would never allow him to regret the marriage. They sent someone to bring Fu Yanheng back to the Fu family to raise her, and gave the girl a sum of money to let her leave the place. The girl cried and begged for help but had nowhere to turn, and couldn't find Fu Daishi who was under house arrest, so she just thought that Fu Daishi had changed his mind. She left the sad place in despair and has not been heard from since. After his fiancée Ming Sicun married, although she promised to treat Fu Yanheng as her own son, her mentality gradually wavered with the birth of the brothers Fu Yuanji and Fu Junlin. Who will be in charge of the Fu family in the future? Ming Sicun naturally has his own ideas.

The maid heard the knock on the door and came in, pulling the curtains and saying, "Madam, the young master said he came back too late last night and rested in the study."

Is it too late? Last night, Lin Luqing came home at 1:00 p.m. and probably went to sleep at 2:00 or 3:00 p.m., but I haven't seen him yet. Well, whatever he says.

The maid handed over a cup of warm water and said, "The master and his wife said we will have breakfast in the garden at 7:30." "Okay, please wake up the young master."

When Fu Yanheng walked in, Lu Qing had already washed and changed her clothes. He looked at Lu Qing. She was wearing light makeup, a light grey wool suit, and her black hair just reached her shoulders. She looked gentle yet capable. "Why aren't you wearing the pearl necklace I just gave you? The pearls on that one are bigger and shine better."

The pearl necklace Lu Qing wore today was made in Australia. Although the pearls were not big, they were given to her by her mother-in-law when she first came home. "This one was given by my mother. It's also very nice. I heard it was part of my mother's dowry."

She stood up and stretched out her hand to help Fu Yanheng straighten his tie. "Don't stay up so late all the time. It's not good for your health. Also, there are too many people around to make comments."

"I understand. I was too tired last night and didn't want to disturb you."

The couple went downstairs to have breakfast together.

This three-story mansion is located halfway up the mountain, with the sea opposite and mountains behind. Businessmen believe that "mountains bring people and water brings wealth". After Fu Daishi, the boss of Fu's Group, moved in, his business went smoothly. His ancestors' business flourished in his hands, and he had three sons and one daughter. Fu Daishi felt that it was a treasure land, so he rebuilt the mansion and added the east wing, which is the residence of his eldest son Fu Yanheng and eldest daughter-in-law Lin Luqing, and the west wing is the residence of his second son Fu Yuanji and his second daughter-in-law Gan Meng. He and his wife Ming Sicun live on the second floor of the mansion. The unmarried youngest son Fu Junlin and the unmarried daughter Fu Jiayi live on the third floor. Fu Jiayi is currently studying at Columbia University, majoring in mechanics, and is not living at home for the time being. As for Fu Daishi's mother, she is a devout Buddhist who practices Buddhism with her hair untied all year round and does not want to live at home. Fu Daishi could not persuade his mother, so he had to build another temple for his mother to practice.

There is a garden pool in front of the mansion and a Chinese-style garden pavilion in the back. The scenery is always new in spring, summer, autumn and winter. The Fu family's gardener takes good care of it, and the scenery is really picturesque and intoxicating. The garden is full of flowers, and the colorful flowers sway gently in the breeze, exuding a faint fragrance. The green lawn and dense trees form a fresh picture that makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Lu Qing sometimes thought that just for this scenery, it was not unfair for her to marry Fu Yanheng.

Today's breakfast was served in the warm pavilion in the garden in front of the building. The servants were preparing breakfast for the family early in the morning.

Breakfast at the Fu family is often a work meeting. Fu Yanheng is the group's vice president, in charge of finance and investment; Fu Yuanji is the manager of the real estate department; the eldest daughter-in-law Lin Luqing also works at Fu's, and the second daughter-in-law Gan Meng is a full-time housewife at home. As the chairman of the group's board of directors, Fu Daishi sometimes has to give instructions on official business, but lunch and dinner are not restricted to whether everyone comes home or not. Work, overtime, and socializing are all common things, and no one is sure about dinner.

As soon as Fu Yanheng and his wife sat down, a servant brought breakfast for them. Fu Daishi was not old-fashioned. Whoever arrived first ate first. In the morning, everyone's working hours might not be the same, so they didn't have to wait until their parents to eat together. This is the advantage of living at home. The servants are used to it and know the tastes of everyone in the host family, so they don't need to be reminded. In front of Fu Yanheng was a tuna sandwich with black coffee, and the eggs were served in egg cups. Fu Yanheng also studied in the UK. Regardless of other things, he learned the British way of eating eggs. When eating eggs, they have to knock them on a small cup. Lin Luqing's breakfast is very simple, a garden salad, a boiled potato and a glass of milk. Nowadays, people are afraid of getting fat and control carbohydrates all year round. Luqing even wondered if she was the one who ate three servings of fish and chips at a time when she was in school. It was so good back then. You wouldn't get fat no matter how much you ate.

"Good morning, big brother and sister-in-law!" The second brother and his family came. Lu Qing looked up and smiled and said good morning. Fu Yanheng took a glimpse of his brother's wife Gan Meng's dress and gasped: it was only morning, and she was already wearing a half-shoulder dress, a diamond necklace, a black crocodile leather Birkin in her hand, and the pigeon egg on her finger was visible even to a blind person in the dark.

Before getting married, Gan Meng was an actress who had appeared in several well-known TV series and was known for her beauty. Fu Yuanji and her were not serious at first, but Gan Meng got pregnant. The Fu family did not have a third generation, and the two elders of the Fu family were very happy. Although they were not satisfied with Gan Meng's background, times had changed and actors were no longer the same as they used to be. Moreover, for the sake of the child, they reluctantly let her in. Six months after the marriage, she gave birth to a daughter, who was raised by a nanny, and she was still free and easy.

"Ameng, do you have any announcements today?"

"Yes, big brother, there is an interview today. I didn't want to go. I'm also very busy. You know, I don't like to be in the limelight. If Yuanji hadn't said that being in the magazine could also promote Fu's company, I wouldn't have gone!"

Lu Qing held back her laughter. The person who loves to be in the limelight the most claims that he does not like to be in the limelight.

Gan Meng turned to Lu Qing again, "Sister-in-law, do you think this outfit looks good to you?"

Lu Qing swallowed the salad in her mouth and said, "It looks beautiful. You have fair skin and a tall figure, and you look great in the dress." Gan Meng couldn't help but smile and told them that the necklace was the wedding anniversary gift that Fu Yuanji had given her yesterday.

"Oh, it's my mistake as the eldest brother. My brother and sister-in-law have been married for a year, and I must give them a gift as the eldest brother." Fu Yanheng said with a smile.

"Who are you going to give gifts to? Do I have to give one too? Huh?" Fu Junlin came.
