He Chengan's usually indifferent eyes rarely showed a ripple, but when he walked to Fu Mushu's side, no emotion could be seen on his face.

"I just came back from a business trip abroad and there's no one at home."

This was to explain why he came here, but he was already 27 or 28 years old, and he wouldn't go looking for his parents as soon as he got back. After greeting the elders and Fu Ninglan politely, he still stood beside Fu Mushu.

[This son-in-law has such a cold personality! He has built an impenetrable wall around himself. He is not friendly with his parents and doesn't even greet his wife when he comes over.]

Fu Mushu couldn't help but glance sideways at He Chengan. He seemed to suddenly notice the heat, and looked at her briefly with anticipation in his eyes.

"How are you feeling lately? If you need anything, tell Xiao Li. She will take care of everything."

Xiao Li is He Chengan's personal assistant. After Fu Mushu married him, Xiao Li is now also responsible for her daily needs.

"I'm fine, got it."

[We are childhood sweethearts and have known each other for so many years, but after getting married, they are so unfamiliar with each other that it's like a boss caring about his subordinates. It really is impossible to find a man who is much older than you. An eight-year age gap is almost three generations apart, especially an old man who is as cold as a block of ice.]

Shu Ning suddenly thought of why her own quiet and gentle daughter in the book had such a drastic change in personality. It would have been fine if she was completely disappointed in He Chengan later, but why did she dislike her own child and even speak ill of him?

"Brother-in-law, you still remember that you have a wife? How rare!"

The distance between the young couple was enough for almost two people to stand. Fu Ninglan walked between them, looked at He Chengan in a sarcastic tone, and then put her arm around her sister Fu Mushu.

"My little Shu is the little princess that my parents hold in their hands. When she is willing to be open-hearted to someone, we can't stop her. But if she is hurt in the slightest, we will not tolerate it. So some people should think carefully before doing anything."

[The unfilial son Erbao is right. Besides, if you can't conquer this heartless man, you won't have to torment yourself. The Fu family can afford to raise several grandchildren, not to mention one. Why are you timid? If you are unhappy, just vent it. If you are dissatisfied with him, just kick him and say goodbye. The next one will be better! ]

After Shu Ning said this, Fu Suicheng and Fu Ninglan, the father and son, didn't think there was anything wrong. They even saw their daughter/sister being cautious in front of He Chengan, unable to hide her love and flirting with him. However, He Chengan didn't care about her affection at all and didn't respond. The two of them couldn't bear to watch it at all. They would be angry if they looked at him for one more second.

In fact, Fu Mushu was already very restrained. Except for being unable to control her eyes, she only responded to He Chengan with one sentence, and no longer racked her brains to chatter in his ear like a clown to seek attention. In the past few days since she returned to Fu's house, she did not send countless caring messages every day, because she knew that she would never get any response. At most, she would get a cold "hmm" opposite the large dazzling green bubbles.

He Chengan didn't even frown when he heard Fu Ninglan's thorny words. He didn't look embarrassed when his brother-in-law, who was several years younger than him, embarrassed him in public. When the Fu family father and son went out to race, He Song quickly followed them. From a distance, he could hear him and Fu Suicheng complaining about Shu Ning not giving him face. If he hadn't been trying to keep his dignity, he would have turned his face away long ago.

[What a disgusting thing! He is obviously afraid of exposing his shameful deeds if he says too much, yet he dares to frame me? Just wait for Yu Hong to kick him out of the house, you damn Phoenix man!]

Shu Ning transferred the frustration she felt when she saw her daughter and son-in-law getting along to He Song, and cursed him in her heart for a long time before she and Lin Si and Chen Cheng walked to the VIP viewing area to discuss her participation in "The Elite".

Seeing that she had no intention of inviting her in, Yu Hong didn't want to try her luck. She turned her head and took a look at the unfamiliar look between her son and daughter-in-law, and became furious.

"How can you two act like a couple? He Chengan, Xiaoshu is a good girl. If you continue like this, you will definitely regret it, and then no one will be able to help you!"

After she said this, she didn't even want to look at her son's cold face again and left alone.

Fu Mushu stood still, waiting for He Chengan to take the initiative to care about her, but for a long time the man pursed his thin lips and said nothing, only his pair of indifferent and distant eyes occasionally responded to her gaze, and then looked away in an instant.

He Chengan felt that his wife had become much colder towards him after returning from a business trip. She even sent him very little news during the second half of his trip. When he was thinking for a moment and preparing to say something, the phone rang. He took a look and saw that it was his secretary calling. A rare trace of irritation appeared on his slightly tired face.

"I have official business to attend to. Since you want to go back to your parents' home to take care of your pregnancy, why don't you stay longer? Tonight..."

Before He Chengan could finish saying that he would move over to accompany her in the evening, Fu Mushu turned around and left without hesitation. He looked at his wife's back with a frown, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

On the other side, Shu Ning, who was in the viewing room, saw her little daughter coming back in a daze. Without saying anything, she stood up, held her in her arms, and sat next to her.

[Silly child, those unforgettable and painful things in your youth will slowly become more open-minded when you get older. It is not worth being trapped in love. Live your life first. It doesn’t matter whether others love you or not. You have to love yourself! ]

Shu Ning couldn't possibly preach these great truths at this time. Even children didn't want to listen, let alone adult children. She could only hold her little daughter's hand and give her silent comfort, then turned around and continued chatting with Lin Si and Chen Cheng.

"...Sister Ningning, you don't know that when we first came to Taipei, we lived in a basement. There were no windows and the ventilation was poor. It was so dark and stuffy that we couldn't even lie down."

"Later, I met a talent scout and signed a small company to participate in a talent show. Not only was food and accommodation provided, but I was also paid 5,000 yuan a month and could learn singing and dancing. At that time, I felt that I had hope. I didn't expect that later..."

Seeing that Shu Ning was not averse to them talking about these bullshit, Lin Si and Chen Cheng vividly described their experiences as newcomers to the entertainment industry in Taipei City, and even cried or laughed uncontrollably when they were moved.

[Xiaoshu is only one year older than these two girls. They should all be innocent and naive. They still have a long life ahead of them, but Xiaoshu has already trapped herself in the siege of marriage.]

"Xiao Shu, didn't you love painting the most in the past? Why don't you paint now?"

Fu Mushu and Fu Munging started school early and skipped grades, so they graduated from prestigious universities abroad before they were 20 years old. Fu Mushu didn't like finance, so she started learning to paint when she was young, and naturally chose oil painting as her major in college. Shu Ning remembered that she and a mixed-race male classmate were called the twin pillars of the Art Academy, and they were very good friends, but Fu Mushu never contacted him after marriage, and didn't even mention him.

[Xiao Shu's mixed-race classmate Charlie is much more handsome than He Chengan, and his personality is enthusiastic and cheerful. Eh? I remember he pursued Xiao Shu and did a lot of romance...]

Shu Ning was immersed in her memories and didn't notice that Fu Mushu was in a trance at the moment...
