Fu Nannan sat at the dining table and looked at her father and stepmother. She hesitated and didn't know what to say to them. In the end, she took a deep breath and looked at them."I'm willing to marry you."
Fu Nannan's sudden words stunned the Fu couple for a moment. Then, they realized that Fu Nannan knew about the company's current predicament and that someone was willing to help the Fu Company unconditionally, but only if Fu Nannan married into the company.
"I don't agree." Mrs. Fu looked at Fu Nannan and said,"Even if the Fu Corporation goes bankrupt, your father and I will never sell our daughter."”
It was true that the Fu Corporation was their husband and wife's blood and sweat, but to them, their daughter's happiness was more important.
Fu Nannan looked at her parents and said," But if the company goes bankrupt, it won't just affect the Fu family. The hundreds of employees in the company will also suffer.”
If she hadn't overheard her parents 'conversation with Uncle Yang last night, she wouldn't have known that the company's situation had become so bad.
She was the only one who could save the company now. How could she stand by and do nothing in the face of such a situation?
Fu Tiansheng looked at his daughter and said,"Your mother and I will handle this matter. You don't have to worry."?”No matter how poor he was, Fu Tiansheng would never betray his daughter.
"But do you still have a way? If they couldn't raise 30 million yuan by the end of the month, the Fu Corporation would definitely declare bankruptcy. Based on the current situation, let alone 30 million, the Fu Corporation could not even afford 3 million.”
From her parents 'conversation last night, she knew that they had no choice because no bank was willing to lend money to the Fu family.
The Fu couple looked at each other. Of course, they were aware of the company's current crisis. They also knew that without that person's help, the company wouldn't be able to last until the end of the month. However, they were unwilling to sell their daughter in exchange for the protection of the company.
"Dad, Mom, I'm also a member of the Fu family. Can you let me do my part for the family?”She had been thinking about it all night.
She knew that her father and stepmother would never be willing to sacrifice her happiness unless she was willing to marry.
"Nannan." Mrs. Fu looked at Fu Nannan with pity.
Fu Nannan had just turned twenty this year. How could she bear to let Fu Nannan sacrifice his lifetime of happiness to protect the Fu Corporation?
Fu Tiansheng looked at his daughter and said,"Even if I'm bankrupt, I won't sell my daughter out."”
He only had one daughter, Fu Nannan, with his deceased ex-wife. If he betrayed Fu Nannan's happiness for the company, how could he face his deceased wife in the future?
Fu Nannan looked at his father calmly and said,""For the sake of the hundreds of employees in the Fu Corporation, Dad, let me marry you!”
"No need." Mrs. Fu looked at Fu Nannan and said," In name, the eldest daughter of the Fu family is Siyu. If she wants to marry, it should be Siyu."”
Mrs. Fu decided to call her eldest daughter back later.
"You can't." Fu Nannan stopped her and said," Sister Siyu is the Fu Family's pride. She will graduate in another year. As long as Sister Siyu comes back and joins the Fu Corporation, with her ability, she will definitely be able to make the Fu Corporation's future even better. Compared to Sister Siyu, I don't know anything, so letting me marry someone is the most suitable. Moreover, what the other party wants is me and not Sister Siyu.”
She would rather sacrifice herself than sacrifice Sister Siyu. Since young, Sister Siyu was the object of her admiration. She had always been proud of having such a sister.
Fu Tiansheng didn't want to hear it at all. To him, it was better to kill him than to sacrifice his daughter in exchange for the survival of the company.
"There's nothing much to say about this." He stood up and prepared to go to the company.
"Daddy." Fu Nannan stood up and knelt down in front of his father and stepmother.
"Nannan, what are you doing?”Mrs. Fu hurriedly walked over to help her up.
But Fu Nannan refused. He looked at his father and stepmother and said,""Since I'm the Fu Family's daughter, of course I should do something for the Fu Family. Moreover, if the Fu Family collapses, not only will Father, Mother, you guys have to suffer, even Sister Siyu and I won't have a good life either, so let me marry! As long as I can get the company through this crisis, I'll have a family to rely on if anything happens in the future.”
Hearing Fu Nannan's words, Mrs. Fu could not help but shed tears. She hugged Fu Nannan and said,"It's all my fault. If I had been more careful, this wouldn't have happened.”
Fu Nannan also hugged his stepmother and said," Mom, this isn't your fault. There's no 100% success rate in doing business. We can only blame ourselves for being unlucky."”Who would have thought that a strange disease like AIDS would suddenly appear, causing the restaurant invested by the Fu family to suffer losses.
Fu Tiansheng looked at his wife and daughter who were crying and collapsed on the chair.
He knew Fu Nannan was right, but he couldn't bear to sacrifice Fu Nannan's happiness.
Finally, he made a decision in his heart. He looked up at his daughter and said,"Nannan, do you know who proposed the marriage?”
"I don't know." Fu Nannan shook her head.”
Fu Tiansheng stood up and reached out his hands to pull his wife and daughter up. "Sit properly, let me tell you. After I'm done, Nannan, you can decide whether you want to marry or not. The person who wants to marry Nannan is a Chinese with the surname Lou. In terms of seniority, Nannan, you and he should be considered cousins.”
"Why didn't I know about this relative?" Fu Nannan asked with a frown.”
"That's because our families have never interacted with each other! Nannan, your great-grandmother was the half-sister of the first five generations of the Lou family. Your grandmother was cousins with the first three generations of the Lou family. It was said that your grandmother had an affair with the first three generations of the Lou family, but because of the war, her uncle, who was the first four generations of the Lou family, married a Japanese officer in order to protect the Lou family's foundation. When the war ended, the Japanese officer died in battle. Your grandmother was ostracized by the Lou family because she was once the wife of a Japanese. She had no choice but to come to Taiwan. Then, she met your grandfather and gave birth to your mother.”Fu Tiansheng didn't expect him to tell his daughter about such a past.
Fu Nannan didn't expect the Fu family and the Lou family to have such a past.
"When your mother married me, the previous three generations of the Lou family sent people to look for her. They said they wanted to see her, but they were rejected by your mother. Your mother said that she couldn't forgive the Lou family for using your grandmother like a tool and abandoning her when she was no longer of value, not caring about her life or death at all. I heard that the previous three generations of the Lou family passed away with regrets because they were unable to see your mother. Therefore, the previous owner of the Lou family was unable to forgive your mother. Now that our Fu family is in trouble, the Lou family is definitely not willing to lend us a helping hand. After knowing this, Nannan, are you still willing to marry?”Fu Tiansheng asked his daughter.
Fu Nannan thought for a while and nodded.""I'm willing to marry you."
Her mother did not owe the Lou family anything. It was the Lou family who owed her grandmother. In that case, why would she not dare to marry? She believed that the Lou family would not be harsh on her.
"Nannan, this isn't good, right?" Mrs. Fu looked at her stepdaughter worriedly.
Fu Nannan forced a smile. "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Even if she would suffer if she married, she still had to marry. For the sake of the Fu family, she had no choice. Even if it was a dragon's den or a tiger's den in front of her, she had to go forward bravely.
The Fu couple looked at each other. Things had come to this point. What should they do?
Half a month later, Fu Nannan's wedding was held in Hong Kong.
It was only now that Fu Nannan found out that her husband was called Lou Tingxu, who was thirty years old this year.
Fu Nannan didn't know how to feel when facing a husband who was ten years older than her. She didn't even know if she still felt anything.
She felt like a Barbie doll today. She was wearing the most gorgeous white dress. Although there was a smile on her face, her thoughts had long drifted away.
It wasn't until the wedding was over, until she removed her makeup, changed into her pajamas, and stayed alone in the hotel room that she finally woke up from her dream and thought about what would happen later.
Tonight was her wedding night, but she couldn't even remember what the man who had become her husband looked like.
Thinking of this, Fu Nannan started to get nervous. Although she had no sexual experience, she knew from the newspapers and magazines and from the conversations of her friends that a woman's first time would be very painful.
Thinking about how her precious first time was going to be given to someone she didn't know at all, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful. She regretted that her first time wasn't given to the person she loved.
In order to ease her nervousness, she opened a bottle of champagne beside her and wanted to drink some wine to calm herself down.
However, she was still very nervous after finishing the bottle of champagne, so she opened another bottle of red wine and drank it.
After taking a few sips, she felt that red wine was indeed more useful. Now that she was no longer so nervous, she drank the red wine sip by sip, wanting to relax herself more so that she would not be so nervous when she saw her husband later.
Lou Tingxu opened the door and walked in. He saw his bride sitting on the sofa with a bottle of red wine in her right hand and a wine glass in her left hand. She was wearing white pajamas.
Hearing the door open, Fu Nannan turned around and saw a tall man standing at the door.
She was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said,"Good night."
Fu Nannan's red face and misty eyes told him that his bride was drunk.
Fu Nannan stood up, looking at the man in front of him for a while before saying in confusion,"Are you my husband?"
Lou Tingxu nodded. He didn't expect to see her like this.
"I didn't expect you to be so good-looking," Fu Nannan said with a smile."I thought I'd see a clock tower freak."”
"You're drunk!" He remembered that Fu Nannan had been very lively and cute since she was young, but he also remembered that she didn't seem to be a good drinker.
Fu Nannan was puzzled for a while before nodding.""Probably, but this wine is very delicious and effective. It makes me not nervous at all now.”She handed him the wine glass in her hand and even poured him a glass of wine. "Do you want a drink too?"
Lou Tingxu took the wine glass and finished it in one gulp. Then, he took the bottle and wine glass from Fu Nannan's hands and put them aside.
Fu Nannan clapped her hands and said,""Wow, you're so awesome."
Lou Tingxu looked at the drunk Fu Nannan and said,""You're drunk. You should rest early!”After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
But Fu Nannan hugged his waist and said,""Wait, I have something to ask you.”
Lou Tingxu frowned at the smell of alcohol coming from Fu Nannan. "What do you want to ask?"
He brought Fu Nannan to the sofa and asked her to sit down.
Sitting on the sofa, Fu Nannan looked up at Lou Tingxu. "You're so tall!" "Can you sit down?" Fu Nannan complained. Otherwise, I feel like I'm talking to a giant.”
Fu Nannan was at most 160 centimeters tall, but he was over 180 centimeters. To Fu Nannan, he really looked like a giant.
Lou Tingxu picked a single sofa and sat down, wanting to hear what Fu Nannan wanted to say to him.
Fu Nannan looked at Lou Tingxu for a while. Just when Lou Tingxu was wondering if she was asleep, she said,""Did you marry me to abuse me?”
Lou Tingxu didn't expect Fu Nannan to ask such a question. "Why should I abuse you?"
" Because my mother made you…" Fu Nannan thought for a while and continued,""Grandpa died with regrets."
Lou Tingxu wasn't surprised that Fu Nannan knew about this past. "That wasn't your mother's fault."
"Really?" Fu Nannan looked at Lou Tingxu in confusion. "In that case, why did you marry me?”
"You're drunk. You should rest early.”Lou Tingxu stood up and was about to leave.
Fu Nannan stood up and wanted to grab Lou Tingxu, but he lost his balance and fell into his arms.
She looked up at him." You can't leave. You haven't told me the answer yet.”She rubbed her eyes to wake herself up, but her eyelids felt heavier and heavier.
Lou Tingxu looked at Fu Nannan, who was about to fall asleep, but even though she was about to fall asleep, she still hugged him tightly, so he had no choice but to carry her and walk to the bed.
"Where are you taking me?" Fu Nannan wrapped her arms around Lou Tingxu's neck and yawned.
Lou Tingxu placed Fu Nannan on the bed. "You're already very tired after a whole day. You'd better sleep quickly!”
Fu Nannan wrapped her arms around Lou Tingxu's neck. "But you haven't told me yet.”
She couldn't keep her eyelids open.
Lou Tingxu kissed Fu Nannan's eyelids and said,""I'll tell you what you want to know tomorrow.”
"Really?" Fu Nannan asked again.
"It's true." As long as she could remember what happened tonight when she woke up tomorrow.
Hearing Lou Tingxu's assurance, Fu Nannan went to sleep with relief.
Looking at the woman in his arms who had already become his wife, his heart was filled with mixed feelings.
From today onwards, Fu Nannan was his wife. He could see her every day and no longer needed to look at her through photos.
But what kind of future would they have?
He did not know.
However, he did not regret marrying Fu Nannan. From today onwards, he did not need to hide his longing anymore.
When she woke up early in the morning, Fu Nannan only felt a splitting headache. It was as if there were countless little people dancing in her head, making her want to hug her head and cry.
"Drink this, you'll feel better.”Lou Tingxu had expected Fu Nannan to have a headache this morning, so he had already instructed the hotel staff to prepare a hangover solution.
She was willing to do anything as long as her head felt better.
Fu Nannan thanked Lou Tingxu and took the hangover liquid from Lou Tingxu's hand. She spat it out immediately after taking a sip.
"What is this?" It was bitter and astringent. It tasted like bitter gourd juice without honey, but it was ten times more bitter than bitter gourd juice.
"A hangover solution." It was just a very unpleasant hangover potion.
"I don't want to drink something so awful." Fu Nannan shook her head.”Damn it, the action of shaking her head just now made her head hurt even more. She would never dare to touch alcohol again.
"Although it tastes bad, as long as you drink it, you won't feel pain after about half an hour.”Lou Tingxu looked up from the pile of newspapers and said to Fu Nannan.
"Really?" Fu Nannan asked suspiciously.
He couldn't be deliberately tricking her into drinking this awful and bitter thing, right?
"It's true." There was no need for him to lie to her about this.
Fu Nannan was still very doubtful. Could such an awful drink really help to sober up?
"If you don't believe me, I can get someone to send you painkillers.”Lou Tingxu buried his head in the pile of newspapers again.
Fu Nannan quickly shook her head. She hated swallowing pills, but this action made her head hurt even more.
She held her head in pain and thought that there seemed to be no other way except to drink this horrible hangover potion.
She pinched her nose and frowned as she downed the hangover solution in one gulp. Then, she immediately picked up the fruit juice on the table and gulped it down.
She hugged her head and leaned against the table. She only looked up when she felt that her head wasn't hurting as much. Then, she saw that Lou Tingxu, who was sitting opposite her, was still buried in the newspaper and magazine.
Looking at the pile of newspapers and magazines in front of her, Fu Nannan asked curiously,""Are you planning to finish reading all the magazines for a month?”
"No." Lou Tingxu changed to another newspaper. "This is just what I want to see today.”
"Do you have to read so many things every day?" Fu Nannan asked in surprise.”
How scary. That thick stack of things was only for today. Then wouldn't the things he had to see in a year be piled up like a small mountain?
Looking at Fu Nannan's expression, Lou Tingxu could not help but laugh. "Your father is also a businessman. You should know that businessmen receive a lot of information from the outside world.”
"I rarely hear my father talk about business. He never talks about business at home.”And that was the only time she heard it.
Lou Tingxu put down the newspaper in his hand. "Have you been to Hong Kong before? Do you want to go somewhere to play? I have a meeting in the afternoon, so I don't have time to accompany you.”
"I came to Hong Kong three years ago." That time, before her sister was going to study in the United States, her stepmother brought them to Hong Kong to play.
"Then you can ask the driver to send you anywhere you want to go in the afternoon.”Lou Tingxu took out a platinum card from his pocket and handed it to Fu Nannan." You can buy anything you want."”
Looking at the platinum card in her hand and then at the man in front of her who was buried in the newspapers and magazines again, Fu Nannan couldn't help but wonder if she was really married. However, she did not feel married at all.
However, it was no wonder that they weren't married under normal circumstances.
Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered that she seemed to want to ask Lou Tingxu about something last night. But what was it?
Why couldn't she remember now?
Forget it. No matter what she wanted to ask last night, she would remember it sooner or later. What was important now was that she had to start adapting to married life.
After the meeting, Lou Tingxu drank and chatted with his good friend Hawk in the reception room.
"Tingxu, didn't you just get married yesterday? Why was he so eager to get to work today?”He had also attended Lou Tingxu's wedding yesterday. Although the bride was very shy, he could tell that she was a very cute woman.
Facing Hawk's question, Lou Tingxu just smiled and didn't answer.
Although Fu Nannan was already married to him, she was not mentally prepared to be someone else's wife.
He wasn't any better. Although he was mentally prepared for this marriage, he still didn't know how to treat his little wife after he married Fu Nannan.
Lou Tingxu looked at his good friend and asked,"Have you prepared what I want?"”
Hawk took out a jewelry box from his briefcase and handed it to Lou Tingxu. "This is the best ruby in the jewelry company under my name. After careful design by the designer, it was made into this perfect ruby necklace. It weighs ten carats and is worth 350,000 US dollars.”
Lou Tingxu opened the jewelry box and saw that it was just as Hawk had said. Thank you, Hawk."
This ruby necklace was so perfect that he believed Fu Nannan would like it very much.
"Is this the gift you want to give your little bride?”This was Lou Tingxu's first time choosing a gift for a woman.
Lou Tingxu did not deny it. "When are you going back to America?”
"I'm leaving tomorrow." Hawk looked at Lou Tingxu curiously." We're good friends, right?”
"Of course." They had known each other since high school.
"Since we're good friends, why didn't I see the bride until your wedding day? When did you meet her? Why didn't I know?" He and Lou Tingxu had known each other for so many years, but he didn't even know when Lou Tingxu had met his little bride.
"I knew Nannan when she was born.”He still remembered how happy his grandfather was at that time.
This time, Hawk was even more puzzled. "I thought your childhood sweetheart was only your cousin sister, Jing Jing.”
Speaking of Jingjing, Hawk remembered that he didn't see Jingjing at the wedding yesterday. He didn't even see Lou Tingxu's mother.
"She went to Paris for a holiday with my mother.”When his mother found out that he was going to marry Fu Nannan, she firmly opposed it and said that she would never attend his wedding.
Hawk thought for a moment." Your mother objected to you marrying a young bride?”
"My mother will accept it after a while.”
What was done was done. No matter how much his mother objected, it was useless.
"Aren't you afraid that there will be problems with your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?”He remembered that Easterners valued family values the most, so it was said that many Easterners had problems with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
"There won't be a problem, because I don't plan to bring Nannan back to Shanghai. After I settle my business in Hong Kong in two days, I'll bring Nannan to Shanghai.”He knew his mother's personality very well. A spoiled mother would not allow anyone to oppose her, so she would not be nice to Fu Nannan.
Since that was the case, he had no intention of letting the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law live together. Moreover, the focus of his career in the next two years was in Shanghai, so he planned to bring Fu Nannan to Shanghai with him.
"Tingxu, can you tell me why you married your little bride?”No matter how he looked, he didn't think that Lou Tingxu looked like a man in love, so he was even more puzzled as to why Lou Tingxu suddenly got married.
Lou Tingxu just smiled and didn't answer Hawk's question.
Looking at Lou Tingxu's smile without answering, Hawk knew that he wouldn't be able to get anything out of him.
After knowing him for so many years, Hawk knew his habits. Whenever he smiled and didn't answer, it meant that he didn't want to talk about it, so no matter how others asked, he wouldn't say anything.
"Are you free tomorrow afternoon? Let's have a meal together!" Lou Tingxu invited.
"No thanks." Hawk shook his head and said," I came here specially to attend your wedding. I have to rush back to America tomorrow. Let's have dinner together the next time we meet!" When the time comes, remember to introduce your little bride to me.”
"Of course." Fu Nannan was his wife, and Hawk was his good friend. They should meet no matter what.
Then, the two of them began to drink and talk happily again.#
