"You… are hopeless! Never mind the fact that you routinely get into trouble and act spoiled, now you actually went and disgraced me by changing your name to become a lowly singer? How is the entire corporation going to view me? You've really wasted this surname! You're not fit to carry the surname 'Fu'!"
Then Fu Qingquan struck again with the golf club…
Fu Tianci's cries were piercing to the ears.
Secretary Song was super anxious by now. He turned around and urgently explained to Fu Huai'an, "Young Master went to take part in a talent contest using his previous name Lu Tianyu. The chairman flared up now that everyone came to know of this!"
Just on the way back to the manor alone, Fu Qingquan had received several directors' calls asking about Fu Tianci!
After all, if Fu Tianci was planning on going the celebrity route, he clearly wasn't suited to inherit the Kaide Corporation.
There wasn't a single light in the night sky, whereas the Fu manor was brightly-lit, clearly showing the hot air exhaled by Secretary Song as he spoke urgently.
"Stop hitting! Stop hitting! You're going to beat Tianci to death!"
The woman's cry was heart-wrenching, her voice m.u.f.fled.
Fu Huai'an's gaze swept over the French windows that the servants had cleared away from, a coldness in his eyes.
"There's still a Fu Huai'an if I beat him to death. I could save my effort in trying to lay a path for him then. After all, Fu blood also flows in Fu Huai'an's body! He's more like a member of the Fus compared to this hopeless fool!"
Secretary Song subconsciously glanced in Fu Huai'an's direction upon hearing this, only to see Fu Huai'an's expression unchanged, not a hint of emotion detectable in his eyes.
The moment Fu Qingquan was done with his angry speech, Fu Tianci's mother's voice turned from a soft-spoken and gentle one to a shrill and high-pitched one. "You still have Fu Huai'an, but I only have Tianci, this one son, in my lifetime! If you really want to beat Tianci to death, you can beat me to death first!"
"So what if I'm hopeless?" Fu Tianci's voice was hoa.r.s.e from all his howling. "Even if I'm hopeless, I was conceived by you! If you're capable, don't conceive me with my mother! Did I ask to be born? Do you think I want to be your son? I don't care for it! You can disown me if you think I'm such a disgrace! Do you think I care about being called Fu Tianci? My name was Lu Tianyu to begin with! You were the one who forced me to change my name to Fu Tianci! I don't care—I even hate it! Disgusting! Do you think it's such a great honor to take on the surname Fu? Go ahead and let someone else be your son if they care for it! Your surname isn't worth a s.h.i.+t in my eyes!"
Fu Qingquan had his eyes widened in disbelief at what he just heard. The veins on his temples were popping so violently that everyone could see as he glared at the badly beaten yet stubborn and angry-looking Fu Tianci.
"Stop talking, Tianci! Shut up!" Fu Tianci's mother frantically rushed over to cover his mouth.
But Fu Tianci didn't appreciate this gesture at all, declaring as he swiped his mother's hand away, "I don't want your Kaide Corporation! I don't want to fight with Fu Huai'an at all! I am that hopeless! I'll either be a good-for-nothing affluent second-generation Fu Tianci, or the Lu Tianyu who is free to pursue what he loves to do! Anyway, your Kaide Corporation… even if you were to give it to me, I would transfer it to Fu Huai'an right after! I mean what I say!"
"Shut up! You shut up!" Fu Tianci's mother slapped Fu Tianci across the face in a moment of urgency.
The injured Fu Tianci was stunned by that slap.
This was the first time Fu Tianci's mother had ever laid a finger on him.
Fu Qingquan was trembling all over from anger, even the hand holding the golf club was trembling.
Afraid Fu Qingquan might do something regretful in this fit of rage, Secretary Song urged Fu Huai'an, "President Fu! What should we do? The chairman might just break Young Master!"
Fu Huai'an's lips were tightly pursed, his handsome face cold and emotionless as he moved towards the house, Secretary Song following closely behind.
A new servant saw the tall and broad Fu Huai'an in a black suit emerging from the darkness, his aura strong and intimidating, so she asked someone next to her in a small voice, "Who's that?"
"That's the maternal grandson of the Fus…"
The new servant looked enlightened at this explanation, nodding. "So that's Fu Huai'an! Is he here to watch the fun?"
"Don't spew nonsense!" The new servant was cautioned in a small voice.
Fu Huai'an ascended the steps to the Fu manor and gazed sideways at the gossiping servants. In an instant, there was only silence.
The bright lighting from the interior enhanced the quietness and deepness in Fu Huai'an's eyes; there wasn't a hint of gloating, only seriousness and calmness before Fu Huai'an looked away from the crowd of servants.
Secretary Song nervously followed Fu Huai'an.
Once inside the house, Fu Huai'an stepped on shards from the broken crystal…
The living room looked like a war had just swept it.
Fu Huai'an moved his feet away and looked at the shattered crystal bits. He could tell it was from a goblet from the handle.
Secretary Song saw Fu Qingquan's pale face, as well as the trembling hand that was tightly gripping onto the slightly bent golf club. He was afraid Fu Qingquan's high blood pressure and heart condition might be triggered, so he urgently called out, "Chairman, President Fu is here!"
Fu Tianci turned his head around upon hearing this…
Actually, things weren't as exaggerated as Secretary Song had made them out to be; although Fu Qingquan was indeed infuriated and beat Fu Tianci up… it was mostly the items in the house that suffered the brunt of his anger.
At least from what Fu Huai'an could tell, although the corner of Fu Tianci's lips was torn and bleeding, he looked somewhat fine overall; otherwise, he wouldn't have had the mental energy to shout at Fu Qingquan.
Fu Qingquan swallowed when he saw Fu Huai'an, trying to maintain a calm and high-and-mighty att.i.tude, asking in a cold voice, "Why are you here?"
Fu Tianci scrambled to his feet and ran towards Fu Huai'an as if he were his salvation.
"Tianci!" Fu Tianci's mother shouted Fu Tianci's name in a shrill voice.
Fu Tianci, however, didn't stop until he got to Fu Huai'an, telling the latter with a serious look, "I absolutely won't fight you for the Kaide Corporation!"
"Fu Tianci!" Fu Tianci's mother felt pins and needles on her scalp at hearing something like this coming from him. "What nonsense are you spewing?"
"I'm not spewing nonsense!" Fu Tianci pointed a finger at Fu Qingquan. "That old man has no plans to hand the Kaide Corporation over to you. He's letting you take the position of the president only because he wanted you to strengthen the company's position for the time being. When he's done using you, he'll kick you away and hand the Kaide Corporation to me! If it weren't for you, the company wouldn't even be able to carry on. You might as well let the rubbish corporation collapse! With your capability…"
