Chapitre 67: I’ll Take Care of You
"Hm…"
Hearing about the birthday banquet, Fu Hanjiang nodded but then paused, a flicker of surprise crossing his eyes.
"Grandma, what did you just say? What... about a destination?"
Fu Mingzhu glared at him, speaking in an annoyed tone, "You don't understand what destination means?"
Of course, he understood!
Precisely because he understood, Fu Hanjiang felt a bit irritated. "Grandma, please don't make a fuss."
Was this a joke? Organizing a birthday banquet for Sheng Xiangsi and inviting all the young talents of Jiangcheng to pick one from among them?
"Grandma." Fu Hanjiang rubbed his forehead, "Who in Jiangcheng doesn't know about her relationship with me?"
"Whose fault is that?"
Fu Mingzhu sneered, "If you were willing to live well with her, would I need to worry?"
"But, Grandma…"
"Enough."
Fu Mingzhu's decision was final. "I am determined to handle this. Otherwise, would you rather let her find someone on her own and end up with another old man who could be her father?"
The old lady shook her head. "This must not happen again! Hanjiang…"
She looked at her grandson and sighed, "It's you who don't want her anymore, you wronged her, and I wronged her too. If I can't see her find a good match, I wouldn't be able to rest in peace."
"Grandma…"
Fu Hanjiang was at a loss for words, helpless. He could only comply with the old lady's wishes. "Alright, let's do as you say."
"Good." Fu Mingzhu was satisfied and instructed him, "Since Le Yi is not here, I'll leave this to you. On that day, make sure to invite all the good young men of Jiangcheng for me."
"…Okay."
Fu Hanjiang nodded. This word was almost squeezed out of his throat.
"By the way."
Fu Mingzhu added, "Don't let Xiangsi know about this yet. We'll tell her when we find someone suitable."
Considering her situation, it might not be easy to find someone. In the circles of Jiangcheng's elites, there would always be concerns. If it doesn't work out quickly, Xiangsi might feel upset. However, the old lady was not willing to lower her standards and find someone with an average background. Her pampered girl deserved to marry well, even if it was a second marriage; it had to be a high marriage!
…
Coming out of the study, Fu Hanjiang turned to go back to his room. Having dealt with this matter so late, he didn't feel like returning to Yintan, so he decided to rest here for the night. But he stopped when he passed by Sheng Xiangsi's bedroom.
Sheng Xiangsi had come to the Fu family at the age of fifteen. Naturally, the Fu family had a room for her. Even after she married him and spent years abroad, Fu Mingzhu had insisted on keeping her room.
At this moment, the door was tightly closed. Fu Hanjiang squinted, wondering what she might be doing right now.
Suddenly, the door opened.
Their eyes met, and Fu Hanjiang felt a bit uncomfortable, turning his gaze away.
"Fu Hanjiang."
Suddenly, Sheng Xiangsi called out to him.
Fu Hanjiang?
Fu Hanjiang frowned and instinctively asked, "What did you call me?"
"Hm?" Sheng Xiangsi was confused for a moment and repeated, "Fu Hanjiang."
"…" Fu Hanjiang's frown deepened. He just noticed that this was how she addressed him now.
"What's wrong?" Sheng Xiangsi couldn't figure out what was wrong, but the man seemed displeased again.
What's wrong?
Fu Hanjiang couldn't quite articulate it, but he remembered that she didn't use to call him this way. She had called him Hanjiang gege (big brother Hanjiang)... then just Hanjiang...
Fu Hanjiang… it was his name, yes, but few people called him by his full name. Using the full name usually implied a certain distance and formality.
When did she start calling him by his full name?
It seemed like it was since she returned this time...
Fu Hanjiang felt uncomfortable but couldn't explain why. His tone wasn't very good as he spoke, "What did you want?"
Seeing his worsening expression, Sheng Xiangsi quickly explained, "I wanted to ask you to keep it from Grandma about me dancing at Mise. Just tell her I'm teaching kids to dance at the center in the evenings, okay?"
So it was about this.
"Okay."
Fu Hanjiang nodded slightly, "Got it."
Then he added, "This isn't a long-term solution. I suggest you leave Mise as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Sheng Xiangsi stiffened and smiled wryly, "This is my job. I rely on this to support myself."
"Is it absolutely necessary?"
Fu Hanjiang was obviously displeased, "You wouldn't starve even if you didn't do this!"
"Ha." Sheng Xiangsi laughed helplessly, "How is that possible…"
"I'll take care of you!"
Before she could finish, she heard these abrupt words from the man.
Hm? Sheng Xiangsi was stunned, thinking she heard wrong, "What did you say?"
"I…"
After saying it, Fu Hanjiang was also startled. What was wrong with him? How could he say such a thing?
His Adam's apple bobbed as he tried to maintain composure. "I mean, the Fu family can support you. Grandma cares about you so much, she treats you like her own granddaughter. How could she let you starve?"
Oh, that's what he meant.
Sheng Xiangsi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled faintly, "But I'm not a member of the Fu family. Grandma cares about me, but I can't shamelessly take advantage of that. The Fu family has done a lot for me; I already owe them a lot."
After saying that, she waved her hand, "It's late. I'm going to sleep now. Good night."
Then she stepped back and closed the door.
Fu Hanjiang stood outside the door, squinting slightly.
The current Sheng Xiangsi was poised and considerate...
Wouldn't the young talents of Jiangcheng see past her history and fall for her?
Fu Hanjiang closed his eyes tightly. Organizing a birthday banquet!!
Although he was reluctant and simmering with anger, he still had to do what needed to be done.
Besides, it was Sheng Xiangsi's birthday.
Apart from everything else, Fu Hanjiang wanted to give her a proper birthday celebration.
Sheng Xiangsi only found out about it on the day itself.
Getting up early and having breakfast with Fu Mingzhu, she noticed the housekeeper, Lin Ma, and others starting to prepare. Delivery people, temporary chefs, waiters, etc., were coming in…
Sheng Xiangsi finally realized, "Grandma, are we having guests today?"
"Yes." Fu Mingzhu smiled, patting her hand, "It's a birthday party for you."
"Ah?" Sheng Xiangsi was very surprised, "This... Grandma, there's no need. Why go to all this trouble? It's just a birthday."
She hadn't celebrated her birthday in years.
So much so, she had almost forgotten that today was her birthday.
"It's necessary."
Fu Mingzhu shook her head, full of apology, "Last time at the welcome banquet, you were wronged... This time, it's a chance to make it up to you. Grandma wants everyone in Jiangcheng to know that you are my precious granddaughter."
"Grandma…"
"Everything is prepared."
Fu Mingzhu smiled, "The invitations have been sent out, the people for the evening banquet are here. You just need to dress up beautifully and be happy."
Meanwhile, at the main gate, the wrought iron gates opened as a black Bentley Azure slowly drove in.
