Half an hour later, Fu Yuxiu finally returned to the Fu residence.
"Young Master, you're finally back. Where did you go? Why are you drenched in the rain?" The butler hurriedly called for the servant to bring a towel. "Third Master is here. Hurry up and go in."
Fu Yuxiu wasn't stupid. Fu Chen just wanted him to come back in the rain, so he didn't dare to take a taxi and walked for half an hour in the rain.
It was obvious how afraid he was of Fu Chen.
"Third Uncle." Fu Yuxiu was drenched from the heavy rain.
"Mmm." Fu Chen didn't even look at him. "Are you more awake? You broke off the engagement without the consent of your elders? Who gave you the guts?!"
"Third Uncle, Fengya and I are serious…"
"You don't look very sober yet. Go outside and stand for an hour." Fu Chen flipped a page of the scripture.
"You have to listen to my explanation, I…"
"Young Master, stop talking!" The butler immediately stopped him.
Fu Yuxiu gritted his teeth.
"Third Uncle, I really don't have any feelings for Song Fengwan. She's so young. I completely treat her as my younger sister."
"One more hour."
"I really can't force my feelings. I…"
"Add another two hours." Fu Chen looked at him seriously. "Continue."
"I wouldn't dare." Fu Yuxiu's hair was wet and stuck to his face, and his lips were so dry that they were pale.
"Get out." Fu Chen's tone was cold.
Fu Yuxiu was drenched in the rain for almost the entire day and successfully fell ill at night. The Fu family worked for the entire night before his fever subsided.
The next morning, Fu Yuxiu's legs were still sore.
The moment he went downstairs, he saw Fu Chen sitting at the dining table and eating. His entire body instantly tensed up.
"Good morning, Third Uncle." His voice was hoarse like a sawn-off piece of wood.
"Yes," Fu Chen said neutrally.
Fu Yuxiu sat at Fu Chen's seat and glanced at him timidly.
Fu Chen had been raised by Old Master Fu and Old Madam Fu.
At the age of 16, he went overseas to study. At the age of 20, he obtained a double doctorate from a famous business school. He worked as a venture capitalist, dabbled in investments, and built a company. He was doing well in the business world, but he suddenly disappeared.
The company building that he had single-handedly founded was still the most famous financial landmark in the Beijing business circle.
With such an elder around, the pressure on them as juniors was huge.
"Third Uncle, I didn't consider the Song family's matter carefully. I admit my mistake." Fu Yuxiu lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him directly.
Fu Chen picked up ivory chopsticks and picked up a crispy and refreshing side dish from the small porcelain plate. "Do you really like that girl surnamed Jiang?"
"Yes," Fu Yuxiu said firmly.
"Even if you'll be chased out of the Fu family because of this, are you still determined to be with her?" His voice was casual.
Fu Yuxiu gritted his teeth. He was the only son. Even if his grandparents were angry, his parents wouldn't let him wander outside.
He nodded seriously. "I want to be with her."
Fu Chen didn't say anything.
"Third Uncle, I know that this marriage was arranged by Grandpa. He must have his own considerations. When it's the holidays, I'll personally go to the capital to beg Grandpa for forgiveness."
"The person you let down the most in this matter is Miss Song. Apologize to her first." Fu Chen lowered his head and stirred the sticky and soft porridge in his bowl. "We'll consider other things after she forgives you."
"Okay," Fu Yuxiu replied.
Fu Chen had already pointed out a way out for him. He had to find Song Fengwan first.
However, with Jiang Fengya's identity, it was too difficult to ask for her forgiveness.

Yun City No.1 High School.
After the bell rang, Song Fengwan packed her books, carried her canvas bag, and walked straight out of the classroom.
She completely ignored the surrounding gazes that were secretly sizing her up.
Recently, her fiancé had been snatched away by an illegitimate daughter. Many people were waiting to see her make a fool of herself.
But she ignored them all.
After walking out of the classroom, she did not leave through the school's main entrance. Instead, she went out through a small door and prepared to go to the art studio.
Logically speaking, with her grades, she could definitely enter a famous school, but she chose to become an art student at the University of Fine Arts.
The form teacher had specially talked to her a few times, but she had not been swayed.
Recently, she had not asked the driver to pick her up. Instead, she had sneaked away.
She didn't know what was going on with Fu Yuxiu. Recently, he had been blocking her at the entrance of her school and saying that he wanted to apologize to her.
A few days ago, she had told Fu Yuxiu directly.
"You want me to forgive you? No way." She wasn't a saint.
Fu Yuxiu immediately expressed his stance. "I know you're still angry. It's okay. I'll wait for you every day until you calm down and are willing to forgive me."
If he was willing to wait, then let him wait.
Song Fengwan was a third-year high school student and was extremely busy. How could she have the time to greet him? She simply hid in peace.
When she came out of the school's side exit, she had to pass through a few alleys to enter the street.
The weather had not been good recently. As soon as she walked out of school, it started drizzling.
Song Fengwan had a driver to pick her up in the past, so she didn't have the habit of bringing an umbrella with her. She could only quicken her pace and jog.
At the intersection of the street, in a black car.
"Third Master, everything here has been settled. We can return to the capital tomorrow." The man in the front passenger seat spoke for a long time, but there was no answer. He turned his head to look behind him.
He thought that Fu Chen was resting with his eyes closed, but he did not expect Fu Chen to be looking outside in a daze.
He followed Fu Chen's gaze. Even though the window was covered by the rain, he could clearly see a beautiful girl standing under the eaves of the corridor not far away.
It was raining outside and the pedestrians were in a hurry. She was the only one who stood still.
The rain was too heavy and her facial features could not be seen clearly. However, her legs were slender and fair.
It was as if she could be easily broken in the wind and rain.
"Isn't that Miss Song?" The person in the passenger seat smiled. "Why is she hiding here in this rain?"
"She's pretty, and I heard that she's good at her studies. She's just a little young," the driver chimed in.
"Do you two also think she's too young?" Fu Chen suddenly asked.
The two people in front looked at each other. They could not understand their master's temper and could only laugh dryly. "Actually, she's not young. She's already 17 years old and will become an adult next year."
"That's right. Actually, she can get married and register a marriage in two years," another person echoed. "Young Master Yuxiu is just too impatient."
Fu Chen watched silently for a while before pushing the door open and getting out of the car.
