Chapter 1072: This Is the First Time I’ve Seen Such a Tall Child
Moreover, now that Fu Qingquan and Fu Huai’an were no longer vying over the Kaide Corporation, they were blood-related grandfather and grandson. Becoming old, a person tended to think of their children and grandchildren, and they would also look forward to having them in their lives. Fu Tianci was too young and unreliable, which was why Fu Qingquan thought of Fu Huai’an’s son Tuan Tuan and the newly born Yuan Yuan.
Fu Qingquan had also come intending to ease the tension between them.
When the door guards received the instructions, they allowed Fu Qingquan’s car to enter.
The instant Fu Tianci got out of the car and saw Fu Huai’an standing at the door, he asked, “Where’s Yuan Yuan?”.
“She’s upstairs sleeping!” Fu Huai’an’s att.i.tude towards Fu Tianci was more gentle than in the past. Perhaps now that he had a daughter, his heart had softened.
Fu Tianci nodded, then started complaining to Fu Huai’an, “When Yuan Yuan was born, I was forced by Sister Yan to stay in Korea to learn. I pleaded very hard with her and finally obtained permission to come back to attend Yuan Yuan’s one-month birthday celebration. Who knew there’d be this airline restriction thing in Korea. I was so mad! You’re the big boss behind the agency, so you should chide Sister Yan, tell her not to be so strict with me! Never mind that I’m the boss’s relative, I’m also still a child!”
Secretary Song got out of the driver’s seat and greeted Fu Huai’an with a smile. He didn’t hear what Fu Tianci was complaining to Fu Huai’an about again and walked to the back seats to pull open the car door.
Fu Huai’an remained standing with his hands in his pockets, staring at Fu Tianci with a hint of a smile. “This is the first time I’ve seen such a tall child.”
Fu Tianci was at a loss for words.
Could they still play together merrily?
Secretary Song supported Fu Qingquan as the latter stepped out of the car.
Fu Qingquan’s health was far worse than before. Despite holding a walking stick, he still needed Secretary Song to help support him, so one could just imagine how bad his health had become.
Originally, Fu Qingquan was even thinking of admitting defeat to Fu Huai’an, hoping that Fu Huai’an wouldn’t take his anger out on Fu Tianci after he pa.s.sed on.
But now, seeing the way Fu Tianci and Fu Huai’an got along, Fu Qingquan felt that he had over-thought things.
Fu Qingquan actually didn’t understand Fu Huai’an as a person. Fu Qingquan always judged others by his own standards, but how to put it… although Fu Huai’an was his maternal grandson, the latter had a very different personality from him.
Else, why were Lu Jinnan, Tang Zheng, Gu Qingcheng, and Bai Jinyu willing to risk their lives for Fu Huai’an, but when Fu Qingquan got to his age, he didn’t have a single true friend by his side?
If Fu Qingquan had friends he could trust by his side, he likely wouldn’t be thinking of coming here with the thought of admitting defeat to Fu Huai’an and pleading with him to take care of Fu Tianci after he pa.s.sed away.
Looking at the way they were speaking with each other, Fu Qingquan decided he didn’t have to do so. His brows unfurrowed, and he revealed a genuine smile. “Originally, I had wanted to come and see the child, but who knew I would come at a bad time, and the child would be asleep! Secretary Song!”
Secretary Song nodded, then took out a tiffany blue box from the trunk…
“This is for the child!” Fu Qingquan said with a smile. “It’s a little something. I hope the child will like it!”
Fu Huai’an nodded. Knowing that Fu Qingquan had come with kind intentions, he turned to one side and invited Fu Qingquan inside.
When Fu Qingquan entered the door, Uncle Blessing had come out of his room, looking like he had something to say to Fu Huai’an. But upon seeing that they had guests, he simply said h.e.l.lo and returned to his room.
Actually, Uncle Blessing only wanted to tell Fu Huai’an that his biological father, Jiang Chengyuan, had found out that Lin Nuan had given birth early on, and as the baby’s grandpa, he wanted to come and take a look at her!
But Jiang Chengyuan didn’t dare call Fu Huai’an himself, so he asked Uncle Blessing.
Uncle Blessing was an honest person. Ever since he had promised Jiang Chengyuan, he had been looking for an opportunity to raise this with Fu Huai’an.
But when Uncle Blessing and Aunt Blessing came, they saw that Fu Huai’an and Lin Nuan were busy with the baby’s matters. They did almost everything they could handle by themselves and didn’t get the servants to help. Hence, Uncle Blessing didn’t get the chance to mention it to Fu Huai’an. Lin Nuan had also just finished her postpartum confinement… and Uncle Blessing felt bad adding to her trouble because of this matter!
Uncle Blessing had planned on discussing it with Fu Huai’an when he left. If Fu Huai’an didn’t wish to see Jiang Chengyuan, he could just give him a photo of the baby.
However, Uncle Blessing received a call from Jiang Chengyuan just now. The latter called and pressed about whether Uncle Blessing had spoken to Fu Huai’an. He had already arrived in Haicheng in order to see his granddaughter.
Upon hearing this, Uncle Blessing panicked and hurriedly stepped out to speak to Fu Huai’an about this. Though, he didn’t promise Jiang Chengyuan that he would definitely convince Fu Huai’an to let him see the baby!
But, seeing that they had guests, Uncle Blessing could only return to the guest room and talk later, when the guests had left.
Shortly after, Lin Nuan came downstairs. She arranged for snacks and tea to be brought to them, said h.e.l.lo, then went up with Fu Tianci because the latter asked to see the baby.
Lin Nuan was considered to have displayed a good upbringing. Back then, when she was in Fu Qingquan’s territory, Fu Qingquan had treated her like that. In the end, if Old Master Lin hadn’t stood out, he might have hurled all sorts of insults at Lin Nuan. To have come out personally and asked the servants to bring him tea was already a show of great respect to him. Fu Qingquan was clear of that.
…
Gu Qingcheng had drunk some alcohol today, but he wasn’t drunk, just a little tipsy.
He removed his suit jacket and tossed it aside, then unb.u.t.toned his sleeve b.u.t.tons. He leaned back in the backseat and closed his eyes to rest for a bit. The neon lights from the streets kept swiping over the car windows, illuminating the man’s mature and steady side profile one moment and making it indistinct the next.
The driver thought that Gu Qingcheng had fallen asleep and deliberately slowed down and stopped at the hotel’s entrance. He peered at Gu Qingcheng through the rearview mirror but saw that Gu Qingcheng had opened his eyes.
“Make a trip to the Cloud Top Condominium!” Gu Qingcheng said.
Fu Huai’an bought the top floor at the Cloud Top Condominium, whereas Gu Qingcheng bought the penultimate floor unit. The Cloud Top Condominium had top-notch security, so from the time Gu Qingcheng started planning for Yun Liuli’s future, he already had plans to give the condo unit to Yun Liuli…
Since it was for Yun Liuli, after the renovations were done, Gu Qingcheng didn’t really move in to stay.
Later, he made things clear with Yun Liuli. Although he had given the Cloud Top Condominium unit to Yun Liuli, he had been busy and hadn’t had the time to remove his fingerprints from the place. He planned to go there and get it done today.
The driver parked the car in front of the Cloud Top Condominium, then asked Gu Qingcheng if he needed him to go upstairs with him.
“No need…”
Gu Qingcheng said without any emotion, then closed the door. He put on his suit jacket and began walking towards the condo.
The men Gu Qingcheng sent to protect Yun Liuli said that Yun Liuli had never stayed overnight at the Cloud Top Condominium. She only placed her old belongings and things that she couldn’t bring to her hostel there. Since school started, she had been staying at the hostel, and they heard she got along quite well there.
The security guard at the entrance didn’t recognize Gu Qingcheng, so he stopped him. But seeing Gu Qingcheng’s low-profile and steady aura, his att.i.tude was rather respectful. “Sir, may I know which tenant you’re looking for?”
