Father Ku's brain was running overtime. As he was thinking back to the time he found out that this child's mother was found to have cheated on her husband.
He could never find out the child's real father. Either the man was either completely unknown and not in any position of power, or the man was so overwhelmingly powerful that he couldn't investigate it.
He was so outraged by finding out that his daughter had cheated on her husband. He was still relatively young and still was the leader of the family. The reputation of his house was his to uphold. He took the difficult decision to label the grandson he actually liked, a bastard.
Since becoming older he had more time to think about his youngest grandson. For so many years he decided to ignore the length of time that he would go missing for. He started to feel sorry for his grandson. After all, he lost his daughter, but the young child lost his mother...
Now the grandson he thought was useless and just ran away to get far from the house which would torture him, suddenly he was so intelligent that it was putting the oldest grandson to shame. Especially after the oldest grandson had a fiance that he was far from happy with.
"Stella..." Father Ku was suddenly tongue-tied. What could he say to the child who's mother committed suicide because of him...
Stella looked at Father Ku with an expression of fear and confusion...
*Sigh* "I will explain things later but could you come home with me first?" Father Ku asked in a strange tone.
"..." Stella looked apprehensive. Father Ku looked at the youth had a dirty face with plenty of mud. His clothes were a little too big and a little too small...
'How could I make such a talented grandson live like this?' Father Ku now felt regret. He was glad he decided to set up a marriage for his grandson...
"I understand Master." Stella looked a little depressed. Like a child who was forced to come back to a home where they weren't welcome...
Father Ku definitely spotted that expression. It gave him flashbacks to when his daughter looked at him last. Her son looked so much like her...
Father Ku allowed Stella in first, then followed in after. The look on the driver's face was incomprehensible. He wished his eyes weren't working today so he wouldn't have to live with such a massive burden...
Father Ku couldn't look at Stella, his brooding face continued as he tried to think about how to converse to the younger family about this decision...
Meanwhile, Stella's eyes glimmered. She could tell that the old man didn't think of crucial questions. Why was she there? Why did she suddenly appear and just stand in front of a random car unless she knew it was his? Where had she been?
The old man was getting older. Emotions were forced in front of his mind as he knew that the only way to keep the family going forward was to use the genius of his youngest grandson. His oldest was being controlled by his fiance, despite her cheating on him and him blindly ignoring it, he still worked for her career. His priorities weren't on his family.
But how could Stella just walk back into the Fude household without raising hell? Her thoughts were running wild as her plans were coming into action...
..........
*Sigh* "I'm sorry but he took a slight break. I don't know where he is and he won't be answering his phone for a couple of weeks." Tracy's aggrieved voice was weak...
Emily's overbearing aura completely subsided. "Took a break? That's good, I was afraid he would be like our brother and just use work as an excuse." Emily's countenance looked at peace. Making her look pretty, and a woman that needed to be protected.
But Tracy knew best. This sister-in-law of her's was the top of the socialite circle for a reason... She just wanted to get back to work.
"It's a good thing that brother Zhou is taking a break. After working like he was it is tiring. Sister Tracy I suggest giving him less work to do. He would benefit from getting more rewarding work than doing many jobs to get his name out there. He is too talented to be doing mid-class jobs. He is certainly superstar material already." Amy gave her opinion of Zhou. It was obvious to her that he should be given worldwide recognizable films already...
Tracy sighed. "I know, there are plenty of offers but based on the size of the contracts I need the confirmation of boss Cerim." Tracy was a little annoyed that Cerim decided to leave the company at such an important time for the man he introduced to her...
Emily's eyes gleamed. If her sister-in-law needed confirmation from Cerim that must mean that the two men were close... Based on what she knew, Cerim would take control of only the highest of matters in the company, Mostly people who he knew personally, such as her brother.
It gave Emily 100% confirmation that Zhou must be a powerful man if he knew Cerim personally... He would be an interesting person to get to know.
"Mmm, oh well. I guess I would just need to wait then." Emily immediately backed down and looked relaxed instead.
Tracy didn't believe the words she just heard. She knew her sister-in-law too well...
Amy didn't understand the relationship between her manager and the top socialite in the country, but she did know that it was one in which they were close enough to know each other's thoughts...
Amy left to go do her job. Now Tracy was left looking at Emily, trying to dig information out of her crystal clear eyes.
Emily smiled and chuckled slightly. "Don't worry. I quite like the man, so I want him to meet the others... That will also mean that he would probably find out you are my sister-in-law." Emily explained how 'innocent' she was with her eyes and words.
Tracy didn't believe she was innocent but her attention was brought elsewhere. *Sigh* "I wouldn't be surprised if he already knew." Tracy awkwardly said.
Emily raised her eyebrows, indicating Tracy to continue.
Tracy had an embarrassed smile on her face as she rubbed her temple. "Well... He could tell I was married based on the mark on my finger. Then he knew that I was married to a woman because she saw a picture on my key chain of Lucy..."
Emily's mouth gaped with astonishment...
"If you invited him to the main house then just be ready for him to know where you hide your snacks." Tracy gave her heartfelt advice, as Emily wondered just when her sister-in-law was completely defeated.
