President Fu Is Great at Pretending, and the Frail Young Master Has No Way to Deal With Him

The senior manager who had ignored his orders and brought outsiders into the company without permission was transferred to the branch in City C. After leaving the headquarters, Fu Yanhe felt relieved.

This kind of demotion through personnel transfer resembled dispatching people to the frontier.

Gu Mingxu had visited the Fu Group several times and seemed to have a good relationship with his immediate boss. Manager Gao wanted to gain his favor, but he ended up shooting himself in the foot. He could only pack up his things with a grimace and prepare to leave for the company branch.

After this incident, everyone in the group knew that Mr. Fu was serious and did not want to see the young master of the Gu family.

“I thought Mr. Fu and Young Master Gu were having some relationship, and we were going to have a scandal soon. It was all for nothing.”

“Mr. Fu’s temper is as tough as nails. No one can bear it. Even if it’s the end of the world, no one wants to cross Mr. Fu.”

“Nonsense, how could it be that no one wants us, Mr. Fu? Just look at that face. There are plenty who would like to curry favor with him. He’s quite a sight.”

“Are you all free? Have you finished all the plans?”

With the vice president’s words, everyone scattered like startled birds and started working diligently to surpass their targets. After all, as tasty as the tea might be, making money was better.

At night, after taking a bath, Fu Yanhe laid on the golden bed and subconsciously reached out beside him, only to find a bunch of invisible, intangible air.

The habits he had cultivated over forty years made him uncomfortable with the emptiness around him.

He missed his empress.

Tonight, was destined to be another sleepless night as he longed for her.

Suddenly, the exclusive ringtone broke the room’s silence.

Recognizing the ringtone, Fu Yanhe answered the call, knowing it was his mother.

A gentle female voice came through the phone screen.

“Son, I have something to tell you. You are going to have a wife soon. How do you feel? Happy, surprised, or perhaps taken aback? A wife has dropped from the heavens for you.”

Fu Yanhe, “…”

Not happy, not surprised, not taken aback.

Fu Yanhe said helplessly, “Mom, don’t make trouble. I am going to find my wife myself.”

Upon hearing this, Mother Fu turned on the mocking mode rudely.

“You are going to find a wife? Where are you looking? Look at you, you’re already twenty-seven, almost twenty-eight, practically thirty. Teenagers are already dating, and yet here you are still single. It’s embarrassing! You’re bringing shame to our old Fu family. In three generations, there hasn’t been a single man as old as you without a wife.”

“Fortunately, I had the foresight to choose a wife for you early…”

Then, Mother Fu went on and on about how she had predicted that her eldest son wouldn’t be proactive. To prevent him from ending up alone, she arranged a childhood engagement for him.

“Mom, this is the modern age. We believe in free love. Why are you still arranging marriages?”

Fu Yanhe rubbed his temples in distress.

He didn’t expect to have a childhood engagement. No one had mentioned it to him since he was a child.

As for the engagement, he didn’t recall it at all, or maybe it did happen, but he couldn’t remember.

Mother Fu clicked her tongue.

“Haven’t I allowed you to freely fall in love? I’ve given you twenty-seven years. Isn’t it because you can’t find a wife? Enough with the excuses. You simply lack the ability. You’ve had over twenty years to fall in love and find a wife. Now that I’ve found one for you, you must marry your wife. There’s no need to discuss it. If you can’t bring your wife home, you might as well not come home at all.”

Toot toot …

The other end of the phone had hung up.

Fu Yanhe was left feeling disoriented in the wind.

He didn’t want to do anything like childhood engagement. He only had one wife to marry, and he only wanted his empress.

.

The next day, Fu Yanhe learned about his marriage partner from Mother Fu.

Gu Wenning, the young master of the Gu family.

At first, Fu Yanhe thought Mother Fu had made a mistake. Wasn’t the young master of the Gu family Gu Mingxu?

But then Fu Yanhe remembered.

Gu Mingxu was the young master of the Gu family, but he was not the real young master. The real young master was someone else.

The real young master of the Gu family was abducted when he was three years old. Because Mother Gu missed her little son, she adopted a child from the orphanage who was born on the same day, month, and year as her little son. This child was Gu Mingxu. When Gu Mingxu was ten years old, the real young master of the Gu family was found. Because the Gu family couldn’t let go of Gu Mingxu, he did not leave the Gu family. The real young master and the impostor lived together in the Gu family.

It was said that the real young master was frail and sick. He rarely appeared in front of others because he needed to recuperate from his illness. Gradually, the outside world forgot about the real young master of the Gu family. Some people who didn’t know the whole story even mistook Gu Mingxu for the real young master of the Gu family. Fu Yanhe didn’t even know about Gu Wenning, the real young master of the Gu family.

Regardless of whether he was the real young master of the Gu family or an impostor, Fu Yanhe wasn’t interested. He just wanted to stay away from anyone associated with the heartthrob protagonist, and the Gu family was at the top of that list.

Fu Yanhe decided to break off the engagement.

But Mother Fu was resolute and tough. Despite Fu Yanhe’s hints, she concluded that canceling the so-called engagement was impossible. As for Father Fu, he was a ruthless man who followed Mother Fu’s orders in everything, and there was no room for hope.

If he couldn’t break off the engagement, what if the other party took the initiative to end it? No matter how capable his mother was, she couldn’t simply agree to a marriage on behalf of the young master of the Gu family.

Perhaps the young master of the Gu family had affections for someone else; it wasn’t impossible.

“Secretary Xu, help me arrange a meeting with Gu Wenning.”

With just one word from the boss, the all-powerful Secretary Xu immediately made arrangements.

.

Gu family villa.

“What, Brother Wenning will marry into the Fu family?”

Gu Mingxu’s voice was raised because he was so surprised.

“Yes, this happened a long time ago…”

Father Gu’s voice was full of nostalgia.

It turned out Mother Gu, Su Yao, and Mother Fu were close friends and good sisters. They had once half-jokingly made arrangements for the children of the two families to be married. At that time, Mother Gu was pregnant and she didn’t know whether the child was a son or a daughter. Because Mother Gu liked spicy food, everyone speculated that she was pregnant with a daughter.

Later, Mother Gu gave birth to a son, and Mother Fu was not disappointed. Instead, she made an agreement with her best friend that if the children of the two families grew up to like the same sex, the childhood engagement would remain as usual and should be fulfilled as promised. If one party liked the opposite sex, then forget it, and no need to mention the engagement.

“Then did grandpa also agree? Doesn’t grandpa like Brother Wenning very much? Did he agree to let him marry a man?”

Gu Mingxu looked worried, his eyes darkening slightly, and his fingers tightening on his sides.

Father Gu said indifferently, “It doesn’t matter how much he likes him. The old man had to consider the Gu family. Wenning isn’t in good health and has no abilities. Being able to marry into the Fu family and get Fu family’s support is the only thing he could do for our family. This way, the Gu family’s care and foods are not in vain.”

Though he was his biological son, when it came to Gu Wenning, Father Gu’s tone was very cold. He obviously had no feelings and did not pay attention to him at all.

Exchanging a son who he didn’t care about to a cooperation with the Fu Group, Father Gu was more than willing. Even though the two families were now cooperating on a project, how could temporary cooperation be compared to a long-term alliance with the ties of in-laws? The development of the Gu family would definitely reach a higher level.

The Fu family intended to fulfill the engagement, and Grandpa Gu also agreed. This marriage was inevitable and unstoppable.

Gu Mingxu smiled and said, “It’s good that grandpa knows, but I don’t know what Brother Wenning thinks and whether he is willing to marry. Brother Wenning has always been a very independent person.”

Father Gu frowned and said coldly, “It’s his honor to marry into the Fu family. It’s a matter of great importance. He has to be willing even if he doesn’t want to.”

Turning to look at his well-behaved, sensible, and caring son in front of him, Father Gu relaxed his brows, showed a pleased smile, and patted his son on the shoulder.

“Oh, it would be great if Wenning were as good as you. You are so sensible.”

Gu Mingxu lowered his head, pursed his lips, and smiled obediently, whispering softly, “Dad, don’t say that. Brother Wenning is still very filial and a nice person, but his temper is a bit weird and withdrawn.”

Father Gu sneered coldly and shook his head to show his disbelief.
