Chapter 10: Matchmaking
After getting into the car, Lu Yunshang handed a gift bag to Fu Changqing.
“Mr. Fu, I’ve prepared five bottles of perfume. Each bottle is labeled, and you can use them according to the occasion.”
Fu Changqing took the gift bag, “Miss Lu, you’ve gone to a lot of trouble. You’re so thoughtful.”
Lu Yunshang thought for a moment and, summoning her courage, asked, “Mr. Fu, how did you know Miss Xiao was hospitalized?”
Fu Changqing raised an eyebrow, “The child in her belly is Fu family’s eldest grandson. Grandpa takes it very seriously.”
Lu Yunshang nodded, “I understand.”
Old Master Fu had protected her earlier, and she thought he favored her. It seemed she was too naive. Even if Xiao Nianzhen’s pregnancy was scandalous, the child was still Fu family blood, and the eldest grandson at that.
That meant the child might become the next heir.
Thinking of this, Lu Yunshang stole a glance at Fu Changqing. Was the rumor that Master Jiu didn’t get close to women true? Could he like men? Otherwise, why wouldn’t he marry and have children? Wasn’t he afraid of his heir position being usurped?
Thinking of this, Lu Yunshang’s mind flashed to her senior brother, Liu Jingting. Could Fu Changqing be interested in her senior brother? Her senior brother had delicate features and was often misunderstood. Many men had confessed to him.
“Huzi, drive slower,” Fu Changqing suddenly shouted, “Manager Liu doesn’t know the way.”
Lu Yunshang was startled.
Oh my god, this is awkward. Fu Changqing really likes her senior brother.
This is serious. She has to tell her senior brother.
The newly opened farm was about an hour from the city center, with a direct highway, making it convenient.
Upon arriving at the farm entrance, Lu Yunshang saw Old Master Fu’s fourth son’s family already waiting.
Old Master Fu had four sons and one daughter.
The eldest son was Fu Tai’an.
He married Jiang Muyan, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, another powerful family in Huacheng. Unfortunately, the couple died in a car accident early on, leaving behind a son and daughter, Fu Changqing and Fu Ruoyun.
The second child was his daughter, Fu Meirou.
She had a strong personality and was infatuated with love in her youth.
She got together with the family driver, Huang Jianfei, and her family only found out when she was pregnant. They had no choice but to accept it, making him their son-in-law. Their son was named Huang Siyuan.
The third son was Fu Pengyu.
Everyone in Huacheng knew that when Fu Tai’an suddenly died, Fu Pengyu took over, almost bankrupting Fu Corporation. Later, Fu Changqing returned and took over, regaining Fu Corporation’s position as the richest in Huacheng in just three years.
Fu Pengyu’s wife, Lin Xiuhou, was a former model who was passionate about the fashion industry. Fu Pengyu often accompanied his wife around the world to watch fashion shows. They had a son and daughter, Fu Hanzhou and Fu Yueyue.
The fourth son was Fu Rongguang.
He was a golden bachelor who used to invest in film and television, making a lot of money. However, he had a car accident a few years ago, suffering brain damage and becoming a vegetative state. He had been in the hospital ever since.
The fifth son, Fu Dessen, was the owner of the farm opening today.
Lu Yunshang had only met him once. He wasn’t interested in the family business and loved painting and country life. His wife, Ning Yan, was very virtuous, devoting herself entirely to their son, who had congenital heart disease.
When Lu Yunshang got out of Fu Changqing’s car, she saw Fu Dessen and his wife, Ning Yan, looking surprised, so she proactively went forward to congratulate them, “Fourth Uncle, Fourth Aunt, congratulations on the opening of your farm. May your business prosper.”
“Grandpa invited Miss Lu,” Fu Changqing explained.
Fu Dessen nodded, “Welcome, Miss Lu. Come and visit often.”
Ning Yan took Lu Yunshang’s hand and asked, “Have you really divorced Hanzhou?”
Lu Yunshang smiled awkwardly.
Fu Dessen quickly changed the subject, “Grandpa’s here. Changqing, take Miss Lu for a walk around.”
Then he hurried to help Old Master Fu out of the car.
Lu Yunshang saw Fu Changqing looking back, so she asked, “Mr. Fu, are you looking for Manager Liu? Don’t worry, he won’t get lost.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Liu Jingting jogging over, “Phew, I finally caught up.”
Lu Yunshang looked meaningfully at Fu Changqing and then at Liu Jingting, covering her mouth and giggling.
Caught you.
Sure enough, Mr. Fu likes men.
Ning Yan called a waitress to lead Fu Changqing and his group on a tour of the farm.
However, Lu Yunshang’s mind was on Fu Changqing and Liu Jingting.
She deliberately placed Liu Jingting next to Fu Changqing, secretly observing Fu Changqing’s reaction.
Fu Changqing was very gentle with Liu Jingting, occasionally asking about his childhood. Learning that Liu Jingting and Lu Yunshang had the same teacher for perfumery, he asked, “Manager Liu is also a perfumer?”
Liu Jingting shook his head, “The teacher said I don’t have the talent for perfumery. I’m far behind Yunshang. I can’t even distinguish the varieties of roses. They all smell the same to me. Unlike Yunshang, who has a naturally sensitive sense of smell and taste.”
“Everyone has their own strengths. Although Manager Liu doesn’t have a talent for perfumery, he’s good at business and is the perfect partner for Miss Lu.”
Hearing this, Lu Yunshang felt so warm. Fu Changqing was trying to comfort her senior brother, wasn’t he?
Liu Jingting nodded repeatedly, “I think so too.”
As they walked, Lu Yunshang suddenly had an idea. When Liu Jingting wasn’t paying attention, she stuck out her foot.
Liu Jingting was tripped unexpectedly, and Fu Changqing quickly grabbed him.
“So close, thank you, Mr. Fu,” Liu Jingting said, still shaken.
Lu Yunshang secretly laughed.
Fu Changqing and Liu Jingting looked over in confusion, and Lu Yunshang quickly pointed to the pavilion ahead, “Look, there’s a pavilion. I’m tired. Can we sit down and have some tea?”
“Of course.”
Fu Changqing gestured to the waitress, “Prepare some tea and snacks.”
The waitress hurried off to prepare.
Reaching the pavilion, Liu Jingting was about to sit down when Lu Yunshang pulled him, making him sit next to Fu Changqing.
Liu Jingting thought his junior sister was just shy and didn’t think much of it.
The snacks were quickly served. Lu Yunshang poured tea for everyone. After pouring, she pushed the cup towards Liu Jingting, “Senior brother, give Mr. Fu the tea.”
Then she picked up a plate of pastries, “Senior brother, give Mr. Fu this.”
Liu Jingting couldn’t take it anymore, “Junior sister, why don’t you just give it to Mr. Fu yourself?”
Fu Changqing was about to drink tea, but after hearing Liu Jingting’s words, his hand froze in mid-air. His lips curled slightly, then he lowered his head and continued drinking tea. After taking a sip, he put down his cup and asked Liu Jingting.
“Manager Liu, do you have a girlfriend?”
Lu Yunshang was overjoyed. Here it comes, Fu Changqing is finally going to confess.
Liu Jingting shook his head while drinking tea, “No.”
Fu Changqing smiled, speaking to Liu Jingting but looking at Lu Yunshang.
“I have a younger sister. She’s very beautiful and well-behaved. She’ll be here later. I think Manager Liu is a good person and want to introduce her to you. What do you think, Manager Liu?”
Lu Yunshang felt like she’d been hit on the head.
What the heck?
Fu Changqing didn’t like Liu Jingting himself. He wanted to set up his sister with him?
Liu Jingting was choked by the hot tea and coughed violently.
Lu Yunshang quickly patted his back, “Senior brother, why are you like a child? You even choked on your water.”
Liu Jingting finally caught his breath and asked the waitress, “Where’s the restroom?”
The waitress pointed to a house not far away, “Over there.”
Lu Yunshang quickly stood up, “Mr. Fu, I’ll accompany Senior Brother to the restroom and be right back.”
Then she pulled Liu Jingting and ran.
Reaching the restroom, Lu Yunshang rushed into the women’s restroom, washing her hands and muttering to herself in the mirror, “What a waste of effort. It turns out Mr. Fu doesn’t like my senior brother’s type. Then what type does Mr. Fu like?”
“Miss Lu, why are you so concerned about what type I like?”
Fu Changqing’s deep and magnetic voice sounded behind her. Lu Yunshang turned sharply, but found his face was inches away. Their eyes met, and Lu Yunshang could hear her heart beating rapidly… thump, thump…
“Miss Lu,” Fu Changqing looked at Lu Yunshang, “You’ve gone to a lot of trouble, but I don’t like men.”
Lu Yunshang took two steps back, smiling awkwardly, hehe.
Fu Changqing took a step forward, “Miss Lu, should I tell you what kind of woman I like?”
