Chapter 1059: He Brought Tuan Tuan Along With Him
To make it clear, it was a prenuptial agreement.
When Fu Qingquan divorced Old Madam Fu, he had given all of his real property to Old Madam Fu in order to retain the Kaide Corporation’s shares.
Therefore, Fu Qingquan had written clearly in the agreement that after he pa.s.sed away in the future, the only thing that would be left behind for Lu Qingmei would be the residence. Everything else would be inherited by Fu Tianci. Moreover, before Fu Tianci got married and had children, Secretary Song would be the one to take charge of all of the Kaide Corporation’s shares that Fu Qingquan left for Fu Tianci.
Lu Qingmei blew her top when she saw this, asking what Fu Qingquan meant by doing this.
“Although Tianci told me that he doesn’t care how other people view his parentage, if you as his mother don’t wish for him to be criticized by others behind his back, I can understand if you want to get married to an old man like me. I’ll satisfy your wis.h.!.+” Fu Qingquan’s voice didn’t have much emotion in it.
At his age, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he already had one foot into his grave and might just die at any moment. Fu Qingquan no longer cared about who he married, but he wouldn’t let others wreck the Kaide Corporation’s shares that he left behind for Fu Tianci.
Given Lu Qingmei’s character, would she not create trouble if she were to get her hands on the shares?
Fu Tianci was Fu Qingquan’s flesh and blood, and the Kaide Corporation could also be considered Fu Qingquan’s child. His son was willing to put in the effort and work hard, and the Kaide Corporation was getting better and better under Fu Huai’an’s lead. Would he really allow Lu Qingmei to destroy it all?
What kind of joke would that be…
“What do you mean that before Tianci gets married and has children, Secretary Song will be the one to take charge of the Kaide Corporation’s shares?” Lu Qingmei shook the prenuptial agreement in the air.
“It’s as written…” Fu Qingquan looked at Lu Qingmei, not swayed in the least. “If you only want to give Tianci an open and aboveboard ident.i.ty, then sign it, and we’ll get married. If you only want to get married for some other reason, then Qingmei… you probably won’t be able to get anything!”
Lu Qingmei saying that she wanted to give Fu Tianci an open and aboveboard ident.i.ty was an excuse. At the mention of Fu Tianci’s name in Haicheng… even people who hadn’t met him before knew that he was an illegitimate child!
This was especially so after news of Old Master Fu and Old Madam Fu’s divorce came out. Even if Fu Qingquan were to marry Lu Qingmei now, could it change the fact that Fu Tianci was an illegitimate child?
Lu Qingmei slapped the prenuptial agreement onto the table. “Fu Qingquan, I gave birth to your son and have been with you for so many years… I’ve given my youth to you, yet this is your repayment to me? To constantly have your guard up against me? What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that after you die, I’ll marry someone else, bringing your fortune along with me?”
Fu Qingquan spoke calmly. “I’m afraid that you’ll lose all the shares before Tianci comes into possession of them if they are left to you! I have to plan for my son’s future! It’s not as if I can’t tell what your capabilities are… I a.s.signed you to an important position in the past as well, but you made a huge mess of it. Lu Qingmei… You can’t manage a business, so it’s best for you not to interfere!”
“Fu Qingquan! I’m Tianci’s birth mother! Birth mother! You’d rather believe in a secretary over me?” Lu Qingmei furiously pointed at Secretary Song, who was standing by the study’s door. “How did he entice you? Would I, as Tianci’s birth mother, harm him? However, he isn’t related to Tianci by blood at all. If there were one of us who would harm Tianci, it would be him! To think that you’d rather believe in him over me!”
Fu Qingquan’s eyes were very spirited. “That’s right! In the whole world… Secretary Song is the only one I believe in!”
When Secretary Song, who was standing at the door, heard Fu Qingquan’s words, his lips trembled a little, and his eyes turned red.
“Then what have all these years I’ve spent with you been for? I’ve given you my most precious youth! What was it all for?” Lu Qingmei was so enraged that her entire body was trembling, and tears trickled down her face.
“That’s why I left this manor to you. Regardless of whether we get married, and even if you have someone you like and want to leave me to get married to him, this place will still be yours after I die! This won’t change!” Fu Qingquan was very calm, so much so that he appeared very heartless.
It was as if all the warmth between Lu Qingmei and Fu Qingquan had disappeared, leaving behind horrifying coldness…
Lu Qingmei straightened up, looking at Fu Qingquan as if she didn’t know him at all. “How can you… say something like this?”
“Lu Qingmei, if you want to give Tianci a proper name, I’m willing to do as you want. You just have to sign a prenuptial agreement. Or… is giving Tianci a proper name just an excuse, and you’re just after my a.s.sets?”
Fu Qingquan didn’t stand on ceremony with his words at all.
Lu Qingmei was a woman who was very good at keeping her composure and had many tricks up her sleeves. She knew that if she were to leave now, then it would be impossible to change the situation. She hadn’t lost completely. After putting in so much effort over the years, she wasn’t willing to admit her loss so quickly!
If she were to get married to Fu Qingquan, she could continue to sweet talk him. There’d still be a chance for her to get the right to help Fu Tianci manage these a.s.sets before he got married and had children.
The worst possible outcome would be that she would only be able to get this manor in the end!
Lu Qingmei had plotted and schemed to climb into Fu Qingquan’s bed. She found out later that she had gotten pregnant and thus gave birth to his child, only looking for him after bringing their child up to be so outstanding. She wasn’t a person who couldn’t keep her cool!
She drew a pen from the pen holder on Fu Qingquan’s desk and signed her name on the prenuptial agreement. She then stood up straight, looked at Fu Qingquan with tears filling up her eyes, and spoke up stubbornly. “I’m willing to get married to you, but it’s not just to give Tianci a proper name, it’s because I like you. You might say that… you’re just an old man, so there’s nothing for me to like except your a.s.sets!”
Lu Qingmei clutched her chest where her heart was, tears blurring up her eyes. “But Fu Qingquan… think about the time when I knew you. I’m an obstinate person… If I like someone, then there’s no changing it. I’ve given all my feelings in this life to you, yet you don’t trust me at all! There’s nothing that makes me more upset than this…”
After saying that, Lu Qingmei turned and left Fu Qingquan’s study.
Fu Qingquan looked at the prenuptial agreement that had been crumpled up by Lu Qingmei, then turned his gaze toward Secretary Song. “Do you believe what Lu Qingmei said?”
Secretary Song smiled, not saying a word…
A while later, Fu Qingquan also smiled. “That’s right, even you don’t believe it… so why would I? If she wants to get married, then we’ll do so! Secretary Song, please hand this prenuptial agreement to the lawyer!”
“Alright, I understand!”
…
Even though Old Madam Fu and Fu Huai’an had gotten into a great disagreement when she was still alive, she was now no longer around. After Housekeeper Ye called, Fu Huai’an decided to attend her funeral tomorrow.
Lin Nuan was pregnant now, so it was inconvenient for her to go. Fu Huai’an wasn’t superst.i.tious, but the funeral could be very long, so it wasn’t suitable for pregnant women to go. Therefore, he let Lin Nuan rest at home while he brought Tuan Tuan along with him.
