Fu Qingquan had already raised the golf club in his hand, appearing so agitated he might very well break Fu Tianci's leg with that club any moment now.
"It's ok even if you don't want to leave the Kaide Corporation… you just wait, once the old man hands the Kaide Corporation over to me, I'll transfer it to you right away. If you don't believe me, I can sign an agreement with you this very moment. All the a.s.sets under my name will be yours unconditionally!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Qingquan was already prepared to strike with his golf club as he moved closer…
Having stayed by Fu Qingquan's side for so many years, Fu Tianci's mother could tell Fu Qingquan was going to spare the child no mercy this time!
She frantically rushed up to hold Fu Qingquan back by the waist. "Qingquan! Qingquan! Don't get angry! Don't you know the kid's temper? He's saying all this only to spite you! He's not really going to do it!"
"See if I'll do it!" Fu Tianci added oil to the fire, sounding more and more aggrieved. "I've never been happy for a day since I became Fu Tianci! Let him beat me to death, and all troubles will be gone! G.o.dd*mnit, I hate this darned name, Fu Tianci… d.a.m.n Fu Tianci!"
Fu Qingquan gripped his chest, lips turning purple. If it weren't for Fu Tianci's mother supporting him at his waist, he might have collapsed to the ground by now.
"Chairman!" The shocked Secretary Song was as pale as a sheet as he hurried over…
All of a sudden, the Fu manor had flown into a frenzy.
The servants gushed in and frantically supported Fu Qingquan while Secretary Song shouted for someone to get the driver to prepare to leave for the hospital.
Fu Tianci's mother was shocked as well, shouting Fu Qingquan's name as she held onto him.
Fu Qingquan had yet to divorce the old lady as of now and thus hadn't registered his marriage with her… Fu Tianci's status wasn't proper yet, so nothing must happen to Fu Qingquan!
Fu Tianci stood there frozen, stunned by the turn of events as well, even forgetting the pain Fu Qingquan had just inflicted on him.
Secretary Song didn't have the time to care about Fu Huai'an or the injured Fu Tianci as he frantically ran outside with Fu Qingquan on his back.
Fu Tianci's mother supported Fu Qingquan, who was being piggybacked by Secretary Song. She was about to follow them into the car when she remembered Fu Huai'an and Fu Tianci were still in the Fu manor. She gritted her teeth and instructed Secretary Song to take good care of Fu Qingquan and said that she would catch up soon…
Secretary Song had wanted to say something but was interrupted by Fu Tianci's mother. "Fu Huai'an is still around, and I feel uneasy about them being together."
Secretary Song nodded understandingly then instructed the driver to start driving after he climbed into the back seat.
…
Fu Tianci's mother adjusted her emotions, wiped away her tears, arranged her clothes, then faked a graceful and elegant demeanor as she instructed the servants to clean up the mess, trying at the same time to hold back her back pain.
The servants started busying themselves at her instructions.
The night air was chilly; wearing just a thin knitted s.h.i.+rt, Fu Tianci's mother felt so cold that a layer of gooseb.u.mps had formed over her skin.
She kept feeling like there wasn't a single star in the dim sky tonight, not sure if it was just her imagination.
Fu Tianci's mother raised her spirits and tucked a few strands of loose hair behind her ear. She still had to face Fu Huai'an, who, despite merely being over thirty, had an imposing aura about him that made Fu Tianci's mother feel pressured in his presence.
Inside the house, Fu Tianci hadn't expected he would make Fu Qingquan that mad, so he was terrified at heart too.
After all, Fu Qingquan had truly doted on Fu Tianci all these years, so Fu Tianci didn't completely disregard this father of his.
"What… what do we do now?" Fu Tianci turned around subconsciously and asked Fu Huai'an, "Did I get into trouble?"
Fu Tianci's mother pursed her lips and entered after having fixed her hair properly, a dim gaze in her eyes when she caught a pale-looking Fu Tianci asking Fu Huai'an something.
"I'm sorry, Huai'an. Tianci was insensible and spouted nonsense, making your maternal grandfather angry. It's such a mess at home, sorry that you had to witness this joke…" Fu Tianci's mother smiled slightly.
She was obviously cla.s.sifying Fu Huai'an as an outsider; after all, who would apologize for letting one of their own witness a joke in their house?
If they were a family, they should be sitting down and discussing how to get Fu Qingquan to let go of Fu Tianci.
Fu Tianci's mother apparently minded what Fu Tianci had said to Fu Huai'an a moment ago quite a bit.
This darned kid actually wanted to transfer the Kaide Corporation to Fu Huai'an after it was handed to him—was he not trying to drive her and Fu Qingquan to their graves?
It wasn't known if she was deliberately lowering her voice from the pain in her body, but her body was visibly trembling, albeit only slightly. She commanded her son without even looking at Fu Huai'an. "Tianci! Go upstairs and change your clothes! We'll go visit your father in the hospital!"
Fu Tianci's delicate face tightened. He didn't say a word, not moving and continuing to stand beside Fu Huai'an.
Fu Tianci's mother looked even more ghastly now. She subconsciously glanced at Fu Huai'an but immediately turned her gaze away upon meeting his unfathomably deep eyes. She looked at Fu Tianci coldly. "You made your dad so angry that he landed in the hospital, shouldn't you visit him as his son? You're a grown boy now! Why are you so insensible?"
"Not going!" Fu Tianci's neck stiffened, feeling the pain at the corner of his lips. He was both afraid and guilty, not daring to face up to it at the hospital.
"Fu Tianci!" Fu Tianci's mother clenched her fists tightly, feeling the pain from the strikes she took on Fu Tianci's behalf more intensely now.
Watching as the servants got busy moving up and down, Fu Huai'an, who had his hands in his pockets, spoke, "Let's go, I'll send you to the hospital…"
Fu Tianci gazed up at Fu Huai'an but didn't object anymore.
Seeing such a situation, Fu Tianci's mother almost went mad with rage. Was this her son or Fu Huai'an's son? Did she give birth to an enemy? She had doted on him in vain!
Fu Huai'an noticed all this but didn't react, a mocking look in his eyes. Truly, every affluent family had its own drama!
Fu Huai'an and Fu Tianci's mother brushed shoulders as he walked past her, with Fu Tianci following closely behind Fu Huai'an, not daring to meet his mother's deathly gaze.
Fu Tianci got into Fu Huai'an's car. Fu Tianci's mother was prideful, and seeing as how she had never gotten along with Fu Huai'an, she ultimately didn't follow her son into Fu Huai'an's car but asked her driver to send her to the hospital instead.
Both cars went straight for the private hospital Fu Qingquan was sent to after leaving Fu Manor.
…
By the time Fu Huai'an arrived home, under the warm lighting of the living room, Lin Nuan and Tuan Tuan had both fallen asleep on the sofa. Taking a quick glance at his watch, he saw that it was almost midnight. Fu Tianci followed closely behind him, like a little tail.
