Chapter 71 – Understanding 

 

When walking out of the cemetery, Qi Xi suddenly stopped and looked back. But the tall cypress tree blocked his view. He could no longer see the tombstones on the mountain, and naturally could not see Fu Yuejiang either.

 

After getting in the car, he finally asked curiously: “Brother Yan, who is that person exactly?”

 

Fu Yanchuan never had the chance to ask, and he was afraid to ask. He was afraid that Fu Yuejiang said something that he didn’t want Qi Xi to know.

 

He gripped the steering wheel tightly and drove the car out before replying: “What did he say to you?”

 

Qi Xi told Fu Yanchuan without hiding anything, “He said that without him, Qin Hui would not have died. He also told me what it felt like to love someone, but I felt that he was not talking to me.”

 

Now he finally reacted, “Did he do something to Qin Hui?”

 

Fu Yanchuan stroked the steering wheel with his fingertips. He didn’t want to tell Qi Xi those dirty things. He beautified them and told Qi Xi, “He and Qin Hui were together, but they were not in love. He forced Qin Hui to be with him. Later, Qin Hui left him, but he still found him back. Qin Hui didn’t want to be with someone who forced him, so he chose to jump into the sea.”

 

This summary was too general. Qi Xi’s mind turned several times, and finally settled on the image of Fu Yuejiang kneeling in the empty passage in pain and screaming. Thinking of Fu Yuejiang’s words about loving someone, he suddenly asked Fu Yanchuan, “Does he love Qin Hui?”

 

Fu Yanchuan did not answer. In his opinion, Fu Yuejiang was not qualified to say that he loved Qin Hui in this life. Qi Xi thought out the answer himself, sighed, and looked at him sadly, “Is it so painful to love someone?”

 

“Of course not!”

 

Fu Yanchuan hurriedly found a place to stop the car, unbuckled his seat belt and moved to the passenger seat, and told Qi Xi seriously, “Loving someone should be happy and joyful. He is suffering only because he hurt the person he loves.”

 

“Brother Yan.”

 

Qi Xi’s eyes met Fu Yanchuan’s, and it seemed as if something from Fu Yanchuan’s eyes penetrated into his heart, causing something that he had been unable to figure out in his heart to finally come out.

 

In an instant, a sour, yet sweet and warm emotion surged in his chest. He turned around and hugged Fu Yanchuan tightly, “Don’t die! You must live while I am alive, okay?”

 

Fu Yanchuan didn’t know how he ended up here. He hugged him back and promised, “I won’t die before you, absolutely not.”

 

Qi Xi was not comforted, but became even sadder. He hugged Fu Yanchuan even tighter and said, “But if I die first, what will you do if you are sad? No one will come to comfort you.”

 

“Xixi.”

 

Fu Yanchuan’s heart was shaking like an earthquake. What he said to Fu Yuejiang was an irreversible fact. The only condition he could get what he wanted was just because he met Qi Xi.

 

If it weren’t for Qi Xi, he probably would never find what he wanted in his life. Or if Qi Xi didn’t have this kind of personality, even if he fell in love with Qi Xi, he is afraid that in the end he would be no different from Fu Yuejiang and Qin Hui, and Fu Zhenrong and his mother.

 

He gently pushed him up and wiped the tears that had suddenly fallen from the corners of his eyes, “Xixi, don’t think about it. We won’t die. We will all live well and grow old together.”

 

“Well, you promised not to lie to me.”

 

“I kid you not.”

 

Fu Yanchuan blinked and tears rolled down again, but he didn’t care. Qi Xi held Fu Yanchuan’s face and kissed him as if to confirm that Fu Yanchuan was there.

 

At this moment, he finally understood the difference in his feelings for Fu Yanchuan, understood what Fu Yuejiang said, that loving someone means wanting to laugh when you see him laugh and feeling sadder when you see him sad, and also understood what Xie Hui said, if you fall in love first, you lose.

 

“Xixi?”

 

Fu Yanchuan felt that Qi Xi was not trying to kiss him, but was trying to get something out of his mouth, so he pushed him up and asked, “What’s wrong?”

 

Qi Xi moved his lips but didn’t know what to say. He didn’t know how to tell Fu Yanchuan that he seemed to understand everything at this moment, and it seemed that his mood was no different from before. Seeing Fu Yanchuan making him feel wronged, he said, “I can’t say it! I just feel happy and sad in my heart.”

 

“It’s okay, then don’t talk about it. Let’s go home.”

 

After returning home, Qi Xi never saw Fu Yuejiang again, and Fu Yanchuan never mentioned him to him again.

 

He hadn’t been to work for several days, and everyone in the studio was eagerly awaiting his return. Because he was the beginning of the process and without him many of the tasks could not be carried out. All the drafts from before had been used up in the past few days.

 

Just like that, another week passed, and news about the Fu Group once again occupied the front pages of major websites. The group was acquired due to financial problems, and the Fu family was about to change hands.

 

Qi Xi couldn’t understand the professional analysis and could only read the gossip, but this time no gossip was revealed.

 

Just when the outside world knew nothing, a shareholders’ meeting was being held in the conference room on the top floor of Rongchuan Building. After several twists and turns, the person who appeared in the conference room was Fu Yanchuan. Everyone was shocked, but not surprised.

 

When Fu Yanchuan left, no one believed that he would give up so easily. Sure enough, he was waiting here.

 

The person who experienced this the most was Fu Jinshen. He had never believed in Fu Yanchuan, but he thought he had won. However, when he really became the chairman, he discovered that Fu Yanchuan had already set a trap for him when he approached him, which ultimately left him powerless to recover.

 

Today’s shareholders’ meeting is to elect a new chairman and then appoint a new president.

 

Fu Jinshen saw Fu Yanchuan slam the table and leave, but it was a foregone conclusion. Fu Yanchuan was now the largest shareholder, and even if someone was dissatisfied, they would not dare to say no.

 

In the end, Fu Yanchuan returned to the position of president and also served as chairman. Just as he had said to Fu Zhenrong, he made the Fu family his own.

 

After the shareholders’ meeting, Fu Yanchuan returned to his “home” which he had not been to for a long time.

 

Fu Zhenrong was investigated and paid the fine. He seemed to have aged rapidly. He has been indifferent to worldly affairs and unable to go out for the past few months.

 

The first person Fu Yanchuan saw when he entered the room was Uncle Quan. Before he could ask, Uncle Quan told him, “The chairman is on the second floor. You should have a good talk with him. It has not been easy for him during this period.”

 

He said nothing and went up to the second floor. However, he did not see anyone in Fu Zhenrong’s study. Instead, he heard the sound of piano from the piano room downstairs.

 

When he was a child, Fu Zhenrong wanted him to learn piano, but Lin Xianjing persuaded him to choose cello. Fu Zhenrong did not show anything in front of him at that time. Later, when he was older, he found out that Fu Zhenrong had won over Lin Xianjing by playing the piano well.

 

He went downstairs to the piano room again and pushed the door open with a muffled sound. Fu Zhenrong continued to play as if he didn’t hear him, still playing the “Love Concerto”.

 

Fu Zhenrong stopped playing only after he finished playing. He then turned around and looked at Fu Yanchuan. He looked at him with calm eyes and asked: “Are you satisfied?”

 

“No matter what happens to you, my mother will never go back to the way she was before. You and I owe her this life.”

 

After Fu Yanchuan finished speaking, Fu Zhenrong suddenly kicked the piano and roared, “What do I owe her?”

 

He remained silent. Fu Zhenrong stood up and faced him. “I made her Mrs. Fu. She had everything she wanted. I never betrayed her. She was the one who drove herself crazy with her wild thoughts all day long! What do you think I owe her?”

 

The more Fu Zhenrong talked, the more he couldn’t understand. He had spent more than 20 years trying to understand. “Have you forgotten that she was planning to take you with her to death? You don’t hate her, but you hate me? How have I ever done anything to let you down?”

 

As he spoke, his eyes pointed at Fu Yanchuan like a sword, “You used everything I taught you to deal with me, and I accepted it all. Would you be where you are today without me? How have I ever let you and your mother down!”

 

Fu Yanchuan was so calm when he heard Fu Zhenrong’s words that he didn’t react at all and even laughed. He knew that Fu Zhenrong would never regret it. Finally, he said to him, “I shouldn’t have come. I knew you would never reflect on yourself, but I still hoped that you would have a little regret.”

 

Fu Zhenrong was so angry that he punched the piano, and the keys made a sharp buzzing sound.

 

Fu Yanchuan left after he finished speaking. He shouted angrily: “Fu Yanchuan, you are with a man because you are afraid of giving birth to a rebellious son like you!”

 

Fu Yanchuan was silent for a moment, which made his father became even angrier. “I don’t care if you’re with a man, but you must at least have an heir. How much effort do you think I put in to get the Fu family to where it is today? You—”

 

Fu Yanchuan didn’t listen to what Fu Zhenrong said. In Fu Zhenrong’s eyes, there would always be only interests and power.

 

He saw Uncle Quan outside. Uncle Quan was about to speak but stopped. He said nonchalantly, “Tell him to be less angry, otherwise he won’t live for many more years.”

 

Uncle Quan couldn’t help but say to him, “That’s your dad!”

 

He didn’t answer anything, left the home where he would probably never return, and drove to pick up Qi Xi.

 

The news that Fu Yanchuan returned to Rongchuan Group spread all over the Internet in a short while, but Qi Xi knew nothing about it. He even wanted to work more overtime because he had asked for leave before, so he didn’t want to leave even when Fu Yanchuan came to pick him up.

 

“Brother Yan, can you wait a moment? I’ll be done with this painting soon.”

 

“Okay.”

 

Fu Yanchuan stood motionless at the door, but Qi Xi, who had said he wanted to paint, suddenly froze and turned to look at him.

 

“Brother Yan, what’s wrong with you?”

 

If it were any other time, Fu Yanchuan would definitely not just stand there and do nothing. As soon as Qi Xi met Fu Yanchuan’s gaze, Fu Yanchuan took a step forward, closed the door, hugged him and pushed him onto the sofa.

 

He still had a paintbrush in his hand, and was afraid of getting it on Fu Yanchuan, so he held it back with his left hand, patted Fu Yanchuan on the back, and asked, “Did something happen again?”

 

Fu Yanchuan didn’t reply, but kissed him along his ear to his neck. Qi Xi shrank his shoulders due to the itch, but turned his head to the other side to make it easier for Fu Yanchuan, and tried to coax him, “Yanyan, you are not behaving well again. Brother Xixi told you to tell me everything that happened.”

 

Fu Yanchuan especially liked Qi Xi’s tone of voice when he spoke to him like this. It was so cute that people wanted to bully him. In an instant, all the emotions in his heart disappeared. He chuckled and looked at his brother Xixi, “I already have a job and there will be a celebration party in a couple of days. Would you like to go with me?”

 

Qi Xi simply blinked and asked awkwardly, “Are your colleagues celebrating for you?”

 

Fu Yanchuan thought about it and felt that it was true, so he nodded.

 

Qi Xi frowned suddenly. Although he had learned how to greet people in an environment full of strangers, it would definitely be awkward for him to go there if he met Fu Yanchuan’s colleague.

 

Fu Yanchuan’s eyes suddenly dropped, “You don’t want to go?”

 

“No! Do your colleagues know that you are with a guy? Wouldn’t they find it strange? After all, they are all new colleagues. What if they say bad things about you behind your back?”

 

Fu Yanchuan was very satisfied that Qi Xi had tacitly agreed that they were together and attended the meeting. He couldn’t help but raise the corner of his mouth and said, “They dare not.”

 

“How do you know they wouldn’t dare?”

 

“Because I am their biggest leader.”

 

Qi Xi finally became curious about what kind of job Fu Yanchuan found. After thinking for a while, he said, “They just don’t say it to your face!”

 

“Then—they knew it a long time ago, and they must have said it a long time ago.”

 

“Not a new colleague?”

 

Fu Yanchuan didn’t want Qi Xi to dwell on this unnecessary question anymore, so he leaned over and bit his lips lightly, “Xixi, they are not important, just come with me, and ignore anyone else.”

 

“Then what am I going to do?”

 

“Stay with me.”

 

Qi Xi couldn’t find any more excuses, “Okay then, Brother Xixi agrees to accompany you to show off our affection.”

 

Fu Yanchuan couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “So Xixi knew why I did that, and he even deliberately found so many excuses. Did he learn to do bad things?”

 

Qi Xi raised his face proudly, hooked his hands around his neck and said, “I didn’t, don’t accuse me.”

 

“That’s my bad.”

 

“Well, bad brother, can’t rub against me!”
