Chapter 533: I Wish to Have a Chat With Tianci
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Qingmei hadn’t even thought of bringing back opposite-sex twins…
After all, the two children would have different appearances, and it’d be easy for trouble to arise if they grew up together. Lu Qingmei wouldn’t take this risk!
However, Fu Tianci was Lu Qingmei’s flesh and blood. Even if Lu Qingmei had a heart of stone, she also had genuine feelings for Fu Tianci.
This was especially so back in the days when Lu Qingmei was bringing up Fu Tianci, who was still called Lu Tianyu. When their lives were tough, Fu Tianci had been so sensible that one’s heart would ache for him. Maternal love was something that came instinctively. Lu Qingmei only gradually came to possess it as Fu Tianci slowly grew up.
Lu Qingmei sighed, grabbed Fu Tianci’s hand, and said, “Tianci! I don’t care about anything else! I only care about… whether you’ll be able to have a good life in the future! Mother won’t lie to you… Mother really wants to have the Kaide Corporation! I really want it!”
Hearing Lu Qingmei’s words, Fu Tianci wasn’t the slightest bit surprised.
“So, Tianci… be good and go through with the engagement today and get the Kaide Corporation! Do it for Mother and your own future! Alright?” Lu Qingmei raised her hand and cupped it at the back of Fu Tianci’s head, speaking in a coaxing tone as one would to a child.
Lu Qingmei knew that Fu Tianci had always been a soft-hearted kid.
He was unwilling to see Fu Qingquan and Fu Huai’an’s relationship become too stiff, so he was willing to kick up a fuss and say things like he would give the Kaide Corporation to Fu Huai’an.
She was Fu Tianci’s mother. With her pleading, she felt that Fu Tianci would definitely agree.
Regardless of how things were, could Fu Tianci’s feelings for Fu Huai’an be stronger than his feelings for her?
Fu Tianci didn’t say anything and looked straight at Lu Qingmei with clear and pitch-black eyes.
This was the first time that Lu Qingmei had expressed her desires in front of her son so honestly.
In Fu Tianci’s heart, Lu Qingmei had always been a virtuous and prideful woman who insisted on having good qualities and a great style!
For the sake of her son, she could work two jobs in a day. All of it was so that her son’s living environment could be better and so he would be able to get better results in school.
She had said in the past that as long as they could get by with the material possessions they had and that everything was well for Fu Tianci, then she wouldn’t mind anything else!
Even though Fu Tianci was long prepared for this, he still couldn’t help but feel sad when he heard all of this coming from Lu Qingmei.
“Ever since you brought me to look for my father, you’ve changed!” Fu Tianci looked at Lu Qingmei and didn’t blink his slightly reddened eyes. “You used not to be so adept at scheming in pursuit of things like wealth!”
“Or maybe it’s just that you concealed yourself too well in the past. I was too young and hadn’t been able to notice the desires you’ve hidden deep in those eyes.”
He was in his voice-changing phase, so Fu Tianci’s voice sounded a little hoarse. He calmed his emotions and asked Lu Qingmei, “Did your heart change after you brought me and found my father? Or was it actually… that you always had the intention for me to help you get the Kaide Corporation?”
Fu Tianci’s eyes turned very red…
Not hearing Lu Qingmei’s reply, Fu Tianci swallowed, unable to suppress his grief.
“Back then, you gave birth to me despite being single and were unwilling to accept other people’s pursuit. That was, in fact, because you wanted to get the Kaide Corporation. It wasn’t because you were afraid that I’d be aggrieved, right?” Fu Tianci’s voice was very soft, so soft that it felt a little eerie.
Lu Qingmei was born with great beauty. When she was younger, even though she had a child, there had been many people who wooed her.
In the past, Fu Tianci had been well-behaved. He had always hoped that his mother could have a partner that would be by her side for life. Since young, Fu Tianci had been exceptionally friendly toward the men around Lu Qingmei. He hadn’t been like other children, acting like puppies baring their fangs to protect their food when other men appeared near their mother.
It was to the extent that Fu Tianci would even intentionally get into the good books of the men around Lu Qingmei. He hoped that him, as a burden, wouldn’t affect the relationship between the men and Lu Qingmei.
He was also afraid that if Lu Qingmei were to reach the step of getting married to another man one day, she might end up not wanting him.
If the reason Lu Qingmei had brought him up were so that she could get the Kaide Corporation, then wouldn’t Fu Tianci’s great care in the past simply be a joke?
Fu Tianci’s heart was struck by bitterness, and he felt so bad that he wanted to clench his chest.
“Look into my eyes! Don’t lie to me!” Fu Tianci was choking with emotions, his eyes were swelling up, and tears were rolling in his eyes.
Lu Qingmei’s hand, which was pressing down on the bed, clenched tightly as she gripped the bedsheets. She looked into Fu Tianci’s reddened eyes and said, “Tianci, I’m your mother! I love you more than anything! Therefore, I hope that we can hold the Kaide Corporation tightly in our hands!”
What a clever reply.
In the end, Lu Qingmei still wanted the Kaide Corporation.
Fu Tianci’s heart kept on sinking. He felt as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
“I’d like to go in and see Tianci…”
A crisp female voice rang out on the other side of the door.
Lu Qingmei unconsciously looked in the direction of the door, quickly stood up to wipe away her tears, and said to Fu Tianci in a suppressed voice, “The Mu family’s daughter is here. She might have something to talk to you about before the engagement ceremony. You…”
“There’s no need for you to say anything else!” Fu Tianci raised his head and looked at Lu Qingmei. “I’ll go through with the engagement and will also do as you wish… help you get the Kaide Corporation!”
Lu Qingmei still wanted to say something when the door was opened. She forced back her words and took a long look at Fu Tianci before turning…
Outside the door, when the auntie who had been serving Miss Mu in the Mu family for over ten years saw that the room was pitch-black, she was slightly stunned. She was in no hurry to push Mu Mantong inside.
Mu Mantong, who was seated in the wheelchair, had already changed into a light pink strapless evening gown. Her long dress covered everything below her waist, and one could see that Mu Mantong had a tall and straight figure just from her upper body.
“Mantong, you’re here to see Tianci?” Lu Qingmei smiled, walking over to the door and switching on the lights while she was at it.
Fu Tianci, who was seated cross-legged on the bed, couldn’t stand the sudden light. His brows furrowed together, and his eyes squinted.
The Mu family’s auntie noticed that Fu Tianci’s room was a total mess, and the carpet was filled with drink cans, coke bottles, melon seed peels, and crushed chips…
The Mu family’s auntie then saw that the massive television screen was displaying a game, and she couldn’t help but feel dissatisfied. However, she didn’t show any of these emotions before Lu Qingmei. Instead, she smiled and greeted Lu Qingmei, “Mrs. Fu!”
Mu Mantong was about to be engaged with Fu Tianci. Both families intended to let the two of them live together directly. When that happened, the Mu family’s auntie would follow Mu Mantong to stay in the Fu manor. Therefore, she would still show due respect to Lu Qingmei.
Even if she knew that Lu Qingmei was a mistress, even though she looked down on Lu Qingmei, the Mu family’s auntie still addressed Lu Qingmei as Mrs. Fu.
Mu Mantong couldn’t be considered extremely beautiful. However, her eyes were big and bright, and she had an oval-shaped face and a tall nose. She looked sufficiently attractive. If she weren’t in a wheelchair, the two of them would look like a perfect match if she were to stand next to Fu Tianci.
“Auntie, I’d like to have a chat with Tianci.”
