The next morning,
Fu Shan and Xu Yifei had barely woken up when Fu Yuheng sent someone to specifically pick them up and take them to the Fu Family Mansion.
Meanwhile, the mansion was buzzing with excitement.
In the courtyard residence of Old Madam Fu—Zhou Qinlan—
The old madam sat upright in the main hall, repeatedly giving instructions to her trusted confidante, Aunt Liu:
"Ah Hui, go and check the kitchen. Is the nourishing tonic I asked you to stew ready? When Fu Shan arrives, quickly bring him a bowl. My eldest grandson has suffered so much over the years! As his grandmother, I must nourish him properly!"
Aunt Liu responded with a smile, "Yes, yes, of course! Old Madam, I'll go right now!"
She immediately turned and left the hall, heading straight for the kitchen.
The old madam's joy at being reunited with her grandson was palpable.
Without needing to be told, Aunt Liu would have naturally taken special care of the Eldest Young Master.
She too hoped for his recovery.
"No, I must go and check on the small villa reserved for Fu Shan. I need to see if anything is missing and get it supplied immediately!"
Madam Luo Huiying was growing restless. As she spoke, she made to rise and leave, but Fu Yuheng, standing beside her, stopped her:
"Enough! There's no need to go. Didn't you already prepare the arrangements for the villa long ago? You've checked it eight hundred times. What else is there to check?" Fu Yuheng said, half exasperated, half amused.
"I'm just afraid Fu Shan won't be satisfied with the arrangements and won't be comfortable living there," Luo Huiying replied, giving her husband an indignant glance. She couldn't help but sigh wistfully. "After all, we finally found our precious son after all these years. He suffered so much when those criminals took him away. I just want to shower him with as much love and care as I can."
With that, Luo Huiying shot Fu Yuheng another pointed look, cutting straight to the heart of his own anxiety:
"Hmph, you're one to talk, husband. Weren't you tossing and turning all night until dawn? And now you're standing by the door, constantly peering out. Why? Aren't you just as eager as I am for our son to hurry over to the Fu Family Mansion?"
"Ahem, well, Mom, Huiying, why don't we stop waiting here? Let's all go to the gate of the Fu Family Mansion to welcome Fu Shan. That way, we can see him the moment he arrives."
Hearing this, Fu Yuheng coughed awkwardly and, after a moment's thought, made the suggestion.
His proposal was met with unanimous approval from Old Madam Fu and Madam Luo Huiying:
"Mmm-hmm, husband, that's a great idea!" Luo Huiying nodded enthusiastically, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.
As the family matriarch, Old Madam Fu immediately made the decision:
"It's settled! The entire family will go to the gate of the Fu Family Mansion to welcome Fu Shan!"
With that, Old Madam Fu eagerly rose and, accompanied by her son and daughter-in-law, hurried toward the mansion's main gate.
Unlike the fervent anticipation of Old Madam Fu and the Fu Yuheng couple for Fu Shan's arrival, the seven daughters of the Fu Family remained indifferent to his impending arrival and the upcoming family reunion.
The seven sisters had gathered at their Eldest Sister Fu Zici's Gothic mansion, chatting idly.
The topic of conversation, naturally, was the family's hottest topic of the moment—Fu Shan.
"I never expected Fu Shan to be our own brother! So, Eldest Sister, was that why you helped him back then? Could it be you already knew the truth about the real Young Master Fu?" Fu Zilan, the Sixth Sister, chattered excitedly.
Fu Zici merely shot her a cold glance, her eyes showing a hint of disdain, and said flatly, "No!"
Heaven knows, at the time she'd simply thought her parents had a soft spot for Fu Shan and had casually helped him out.
Who could have imagined he was actually her own brother?
Fu Zici could only say that the world was truly small and mysterious.
Perhaps—in the grand scheme of things, everything was predetermined.
Hearing Fu Zici's response, Fu Zilan was momentarily stunned. She was about to press further when Fourth Sister Fu Zilu abruptly cut her off:
"Sixth Sister, use your brain. Eldest Sister wouldn't have known about this back then either. Otherwise, why wouldn't she have told Dad immediately? That's completely out of character for her, isn't it?"
Hearing this, Sixth Sister Fu Zilan nodded in agreement:
"You're right. Fourth Sister, you make a lot of sense."
Although Eldest Sister was known as the icy, beautiful CEO who rarely smiled and was stingy with her words even with family,
her sisters knew she was deeply responsible, with a strong sense of familial duty and honor.
If Eldest Sister had known Fu Shan was their true younger brother—a child of the Fu Family—she would have informed their parents immediately, never keeping it a secret.
Fifth Sister Fu Ziqing, who had been quietly listening to her sisters' conversation, let out a cold snort:
"Hmph! So what if he's our brother? I despise brothers! Don't think I'll go easy on him just because he's my blood. Fu Shan had better steer clear of me from now on. Otherwise... Hmph!"
Hearing this, Seventh Sister Fu Zizhi nodded vigorously, her face radiating agreement. "Exactly! Fifth Sister is right! That brother creature is the most annoying! Utterly infuriating! As for Fu Shan... Hmph! He shouldn't expect a single kind word from me."
Though the other sisters remained silent, their faces clearly showed their approval.
Having grown up with Fu Zicong, a "brother" whose misdeeds were legion, the seven sisters had come to despise the very concept of brothers.
In their eyes, brothers were simply the worst!
Thus, they had no expectations for the day's family reunion.
Not only did they have no expectations, but they actively resisted it.
They felt utterly indifferent to Fu Shan's arrival.
*A brother? No way!*
Just then, the door to the sisters' room was knocked upon with a series of sharp raps.
A maid entered and said respectfully, "Seven Misses, the Old Madam has ordered the entire family to gather at the main gate of the Fu Family Mansion to welcome the Eldest Young Master."
At this, Eldest Sister Fu Zici, Second Sister Fu Zicheng, Third Sister Fu Zihuang, and Fourth Sister Fu Zilu frowned. Seventh Sister Fu Zizhi, unable to contain herself, immediately complained, "See? I told you brothers are the worst! He hasn't even returned yet, and he's already causing trouble! Ugh!"
Hearing this, Fifth Sister Fu Ziqing and Sixth Sister Fu Zilan nodded in unison. "Exactly!"
"So annoying!"
