She lifted her small face toward Fu Sichen with a sowhat haughty expression, which caused Fu Sichen to let out a low chuckle.
Before Xu Lai arrived, he had always been abroad, considered a talent cultivated by Old Mr. Fu for Fu Sichen.
It was truly a bit overwhelming for him to be here for the first ti.
"Young master and madam, please take a seat first. Grandpa is still upstairs painting and will co down in a bit."
"Mm, Uncle Wang, please take Secretary Xu to rest on the side."
"Alright, Secretary Xu, please follow ."
After the two n left, the spacious living room was left with only Jiang Mian and Fu Sichen.
Jiang Mian breathed a sigh of relief, her tense body slightly relaxed.
"Is Mrs. Fu nervous?"
Jiang Mian gave him a disdainful look. What a stupid question!
"I haven’t even t Grandpa yet. You’ve been helping so much before; I don’t want to embarrass myself in front of you."
Fu Sichen hooked his lips into a smile, staring nonchalantly at the woman in front of him whose eyes were shimring like ripples in water. His eyes slightly upturned, there was an indescribable charm and allure to his gaze.
"Grandpa likes you very much."
Jiang Mian frowned slightly and looked at Fu Sichen. "How do you know?"
"After all, love , love my dog."
Jiang Mian felt a tingling sensation at the back of her head, and a blush began to creep up her ears.
Just as she was at a loss for how to respond, Fu Jingcun arrived fashionably late, leaning on a cane, his gentle eyes smiling: "What are you two discussing? Let this old man in on it too."
Fu Sichen stood up and helped Grandpa sit down: "Grandpa."
Jiang Mian looked at the elderly gentleman in front of her and felt a very familiar sensation. She seed to have seen him before. She politely addressed him: "Grandpa, I’m Jiang Mian."
Fu Jingcun looked at Jiang Mian kindly and waved his hand, gesturing for her to sit down quickly: "Ah, ah, good, don’t be formal in your own ho."
Jiang Mian took a seat, sitting up straight, her hands resting on her lap, sowhat awkwardly intertwined.
Fu Sichen lowered his eyes and grasped Jiang Mian’s hands: "Grandpa, please don’t scare her."
Upon hearing this, Fu Jingcun laughed: "You kid, how could I scare your wife, right? Lin Family girl."
!!!!
Jiang Mian suddenly looked up, a sparkle of surprise in her expression.
Lin Family girl...
The only one who called her that was—
Jiang Mian’s lips trembled slightly as she spoke in a faint voice: "Grandpa Fu?"
Fu Jingcun’s eyes crinkled into a smile upon hearing these three words: "You recognized ?"
Jiang Mian was montarily lost in thought.
As a child, she had lived in North City for a while, staying with her maternal grandfather.
Next door lived a Grandpa Fu, who was a friend of her grandfather’s. They would spend ti together drinking tea, playing chess, and painting.
And Grandpa Fu liked to call her Lin Family girl because everyone used to call her by her nickna back then—Lin Xuan.
A few days later, a brother arrived at Grandpa Fu’s house, claiming to be Grandpa Fu’s grandson, who had finished his studies and co over. The two beca really good friends.
Whenever she got into trouble, Brother Xiao Fu would always cover for her, indulging her reckless behavior, even to the point where her grandfather could no longer stand it.
What ca afterward was the sudden passing of her grandfather due to an illness, and she was taken back to Su City by her parents. Brother Xiao Fu also left to study, and they completely lost touch.
When Jiang Mian turned 18 and reached adulthood, she went back to have a look, but the place from her childhood was long gone, with no trace of the past left.
And now...
She ca back to her senses and looked at Fu Jingcun, then at Fu Sichen.
"You can’t be... Brother Xiao Fu..."
She didn’t even dare to contemplate the possibility.
How could Fu Sichen possibly be Brother Xiao Fu? They both had the surna Fu, but in her mind, they had always been two different people.
With the current situation—
Jiang Mian felt as if her brain’s CPU was burning out.
