Chapter 58 It feels so good to have someone protecting you Deng Ruibo: “?”I don’t feel embarrassed at all. He continued with a smile, "Oh, you've really grown up. You're not close to your cousin anymore." Then he looked at Jiang Zao, smiling: "This is Yan Ci's wife, right? She is really a beauty. Well, she is a perfect match for Yan Ci." He took out a jade pendant and said, "This is a piece of jade I got by chance when I was young. Jade can nourish people. Consider it a gift from your cousin. You must not refuse it, otherwise you will not acknowledge me as your cousin." Now that things have come to this, Jiang Zao naturally had no choice but to accept it. "Thank you, cousin." Then she took out the gift she had prepared: "I wish my cousin good fortune as vast as the East Sea, a long life as long as the Southern Mountains, and may he get younger and younger as he grows older." Deng Ruibo was very happy and took the gift: "Okay, it's best to be younger as you grow older. My nephew's wife is really good at talking. Come on, come on, sit inside." Jiang Zao and Fu Yanci sat at the first table. Except for the two of them, everyone else at this table is an elder, and the reason they can sit here is because Fu Yanci is the undisputed head of the Fu family.
As soon as Jiang Zao sat down, she felt a pair of resentful and jealous eyes falling on her from not far away. Look sideways. Xia Chuwei? Since Jiang Jinfeng was the younger generation after all, the two of them sat at the third table. Are you jealous even of this? Jiang Zao raised his eyebrows slightly towards Xia Chu, with a smile on his face. If you want to sit at the head table, work harder in your next life. Xia Chuwei glared at her hatefully, and the next second she was called upon by the elder at the same table and started to urge her to give birth. Everyone at the table was talking to each other, as if they would get some benefits if Xia Chuwei gave birth to one more child. Seeing that Xia Chuwei was feeling uncomfortable, Jiang felt better already. But this happiness did not last long, because the birth of a child was something that every elder talked about. The same was true for their table. "Yanci, I see you've recovered well. When are you going to have a child with Jiang Zao?" "Yes, so your mother can enjoy the happiness of having a grandchild." Madam Fu was sitting nearby, and she directly blocked the question: "The couple is still newlyweds, and they haven't enjoyed their own world for a few days yet. Why are they in such a hurry to have a child? She is still young, and it will be the same if she has another child in a few years. Besides, she is in the rising stage of her career now, and she is too busy with the projects she has on hand." Relative A: "Oh, why do women need to be so capable? It's better to have children early. You can have more children while you are still young. More people will make the family more lively." Relative B: "Yes, in a few years, you will be too old. After 30, you will be a high-risk mother. It will not be good for both adults and children." Deng Ruibo and another male elder could only listen with a smile on their faces. This kind of topic belonged to women, and it was better for them, the men, not to get involved. Madam Fu spoke again: "We don't marry daughters-in-law just to have children. Zao is smart and capable. She worked with Yan Ci to build a career and made plans for the Fu family with all her heart. She is good at both cooking and working in the hall. Not long after she joined the Fu family, she completed a big project. It is a blessing for Yan Ci to marry her, and it is also the merit of our Fu family's ancestors. As for children, she can have them whenever she wants. I am satisfied as long as the couple are happy and loving. As an elder, it is better not to stretch your hands too far, don't you think?" Looking at those relatives and elders who looked constipated and angry but dared not speak, Jiang Zao just felt relaxed all over. This feeling of being protected by someone is really great. After this incident, everyone knew that Mrs. Fu was protecting Jiang Zao, and also confirmed Jiang Zao's status in the Fu family. They had a plan in mind and dared not say anything they shouldn't say in front of Jiang Zao.
After the banquet, Deng Ruibo extended an invitation to Jiang Zao and Fu Yanci. "Yanci, Zao Zao, my cousin has been abroad for so many years, I didn't expect Lincheng to have changed so much. Take some time out some other day and take my cousin around, and bring the kids with you. Oh, I'm old now, and I just want to be with you younger generations, because I don't have any children of my own." Fu Yanci subconsciously looked at Jiang Zao. Deng Ruibo noticed this conditioned reflex-like behavior. His eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't say anything. Jiang Zao nodded: "Okay, then cousin will set the time and we will definitely be there." Deng Ruibo took the opportunity to say, "When I left Lincheng, Fu's was not as powerful as it is now. I want to go to the company to take a look. I wonder if it is convenient? Of course, I know you are all busy. If it is not possible, forget it. I can just go somewhere else to kill time." In order to advance through retreat, with so many relatives around, Jiang Zao really couldn't say no. But he didn't agree on his own, and turned to look at Madam Fu. Madam Fu smiled lightly: "You haven't been to the company since it changed its address. It would be nice to go and have a look." This matter is settled. After returning home, Mrs. Fu told Jiang Zao in detail about Deng Ruibo's situation. "You should have heard about why your cousin went abroad that year, right?" Jiang Zao nodded: "Didn't you say you were hurt by love?" Madam Fu took a sip of her coffee and said, "He did have a girlfriend at the time, but I accidentally learned a few years ago that it was actually your cousin who broke up with her. Then he left the country without a word. The woman even suffered from depression because of this and lived in a sanatorium for many years before she recovered." "So the reason why my cousin went abroad was not because of a broken heart?" Jiang Zao suddenly understood why Mrs. Fu suddenly mentioned this to her. "Mom, do you suspect that my cousin went abroad or returned home for other purposes?" Madam Fu admired Jiang Zao more and more. "You are indeed very smart, and you are very similar to me when I was young." It is very important for a business leader or even a family leader to always stay rational at all times. "When your cousin goes to the company, you should send someone to keep an eye on him. Also, never let Yan Ci be alone with him." Madam Fu put the emphasis on the second half of the sentence. Fu Yanci, who was learning boxing with Momo, suddenly leaned over from behind the sofa and tilted his head to look at Madam Fu. "Mom, why can't you let my cousin be alone with me?" His eyes were clear, without any trace of wariness. This is also what Mrs. Fu is most worried about. She sighed softly, "Yanci, just remember to listen to Zao Zao in everything and try not to leave Zao Zao. If you have to be alone, take Momo with you. Got it?" At this moment, she is no longer the strong woman of the Fu family revered by many people, but just an ordinary mother who is worried about her son. Fu Yanci nodded: "Okay, I will listen to my wife and my mother." (End of this chapter)
