Chapter 1058: Prenuptial Agreement
Because of her nearing due date, Lin Nuan worked even harder, hoping she could finish recording the shows that could be played when she went on a break.
Old Madam Fu, who had gone to the Fu residence to tell Fu Huai’an she might not live beyond three days on Chinese New Year’s Eve, actually managed to live until the end of July. Perhaps this was because she had let go of what had been burdening her heart…
Old Madam Fu passed away in her sleep. The next day, when Housekeeper Ye found out Old Madam Fu had passed away, Old Madam Fu’s entire body had turned cold. Although she was taken to the hospital, she didn’t suffer any pain or torture.
After Fu Qingquan finished lunch at noon, he sat in his study practicing his calligraphy skills. When he heard that Old Madam Fu had passed away, he was quiet for a long time. He merely asked Secretary Song, who wanted to comfort him, to go out… He wanted to have some quiet time alone.
Later, Fu Qingquan stayed inside for the entire afternoon and didn’t once come out.
Fu Qingquan sat before the French windows and stared at the strong sun and rosy clouds in the sky, reminiscing about what it was like when he and Old Madam Fu were young, a mixture of feelings in his heart.
Old Madam Fu was rather pretty when she was young and had a knack for business. She not only had a good family background but was also very knowledgeable and had plenty of common interests with Fu Qingquan, so they had an amicable relationship.
Thinking back, Fu Qingquan had fallen for Old Madam Fu because of her cleverness, but later, he grew to detest her because of that same cleverness.
Perhaps it was because Old Madam Fu had used her cleverness to aid him in the past and had later used it to pit herself against him…
Fu Qingquan thought about a lot, his mind a jumbled mess. One moment he thought fondly of her, and in the next, he remembered what he hated about her!
He pondered over it, then realized the cause was the appearance of Lu Qingmei and Fu Tianci later on.
If he hadn’t had that one-night stand, if he hadn’t had Fu Tianci, Fu Qingquan would perhaps have lived in bliss with Old Madam Fu until they died. They would have even been buried together after their deaths.
But now, Secretary Song said… when Housekeeper Ye called, he said that Old Madam Fu wanted to be buried with Fu Wan. Hearing that made Fu Qingquan feel upset, and it left a bitter sensation in his mouth.
Thinking about Lu Qingmei, he felt that she was no longer as gentle and wonderful as she had seemed when she came to look for him with Fu Tianci…
On Fu Tianci’s account, Fu Qingquan had accepted Lu Qingmei once more. But now, Lu Qingmei only either wheedled or acted like a shrew before him, wanting Fu Qingquan to arrange her into the position of financial controller at the Kaide Corporation…
Lu Qingmei claimed that the entire Kaide Corporation was filled with Fu Huai’an’s men, and she was worried about Fu Tianci’s future, so she wanted to control the financial matters at the Kaide Corporation.
Fu Qingquan said that he was no longer the chairman, merely a director. Lu Qingmei, however, insisted that Fu Qingquan must still have his means… and asked him to use his connections to get her into that position.
Fu Qingquan was exhausted from having to deal with Lu Qingmei already. If he had to be buried with Lu Qingmei after he died, he probably wouldn’t be able to rest in peace.
Housekeeper Ye merely called to get Secretary Song to inform Fu Qingquan and hadn’t had other intentions. He just felt that Fu Qingquan and Old Madam Fu were once a married couple, after all, so he informed Secretary Song of the date and venue of Old Madam Fu’s funeral to see if Fu Qingquan wished to attend.
After Old Madam Fu passed away, news of Fu Qingquan and Old Madam Fu’s divorce before the Chinese New Year was revealed.
The instant Lu Qingmei saw this, she exploded. She angrily charged into Fu Qingquan’s study to ask why he didn’t tell her about it and why he still wasn’t going to marry her.
Previously, Fu Qingquan had been so eager to divorce Old Madam Fu because he wanted to give Fu Tianci a proper name, to let Fu Tianci rightfully inherit the Kaide Corporation.
But now, the Kaide Corporation was already in Fu Huai’an’s hands. Fu Tianci had also had a deep conversation with him, saying he wanted to do something he liked. Most importantly, Fu Tianci had his own thoughts and persistence about music!
He didn’t have impractical dreams of becoming a celebrity. He merely wanted to do something he liked, to earn his own keep doing something he liked, even supporting his family with his own money!
Fu Tianci said he would buy Fu Qingquan a present after he made his first pot of gold, not buying Fu Qingquan a present using Fu Qingquan’s money. He didn’t want to rely on Fu Qingquan and wanted to buy the present using the money he worked hard for himself.
Fu Qingquan was very touched when he heard this, and he secretly anticipated this present from his son.
Later, Fu Tianci shot to fame after singing the theme song for Lin Nuan’s movie “Eagles on the Sea,” and he used his first pot of gold to buy Fu Qingquan a massage chair, hoping Fu Qingquan could enjoy life in his retirement and not be so tired because of him!
Seeing his son, who used to be so insensible, suddenly mature, Fu Qingquan was incredibly heartened. This also made him feel that it was much better to let Fu Tianci do something he liked instead of forcing him to do something he detested and had no talent for.
Right now, Fu Tianci was a very popular songwriter style singer, busying himself every day with training and composing. But it made him feel fulfilled and happy.
Ever since Fu Qingquan agreed to let Fu Tianci do what he liked, the relationship between them had been unprecedentedly harmonious.
Since he was no longer planning on making Fu Tianci take over the Kaide Corporation, Fu Qingquan didn’t have the need to make Lu Qingmei his wife—Mrs. Fu.
Fu Qingquan was still reminiscing about Old Madam Fu when Lu Qingmei barged into the study despite Secretary Song’s obstruction. Fu Qingquan got up, wiped the ink off his hands, and said calmly, “Lu Qingmei, you’re still young. Not marrying you is for your own good. In the future, if you decide to look for another partner, it’ll be easier for you!”
“Fu Qingquan, what is the meaning of this!” Lu Qingmei paused, then instantly exploded. “I even gave birth to a son for you, and now you’re asking me to look for another man!”
Fu Qingquan casually tossed the towel onto the coffee table before calmly saying to Lu Qingmei, “When you climbed into my bed, you already knew I had a wife. Later, you came to me with Tianci, saying you wouldn’t ask for a title and only wished for Tianci to know his origin. That has now been realized, so what more do you want?”
Lu Qingmei was so angry that she couldn’t speak for a moment. After pausing for two seconds, she said, “I’m doing this so Tianci can have a proper identity, else others will ridicule Tianci once they find out about his identity!”
“Okay, you’re a good mother who is considerate of her son. If you want to marry me, that can be done!” Fu Qingquan was prepared for this. He pulled open a drawer and took out a document, tossing it onto the desk. “Read it… read it carefully. Once you sign it, we can register for marriage!”
Lu Qingmei walked to the desk dubiously, picked up the document, and glanced at it… It was a prenuptial agreement.
