Chapter 56: Even If He’s Crazy

Mu Ruo looked around, curious, and asked Fu Jianzhi, “Does this hospital only accept members of the Fu family and no other patients?”

Fu Jianzhi’s expression was cold. “Yes.”

When they arrived, Old Master Fu was still asleep.

Fu Jianzhi went to speak with the doctor, leaving Mu Ruo alone, which made her feel a bit bored, so she decided to go outside for some fresh air.

To be honest, the Fu family’s background was indeed profound, evident in every aspect and even in the smallest details.

The hospital’s landscaping was done exceptionally well; despite it being summer, there were no mosquitoes, and the greenery was lush with beautiful flowers and plants scattered around.

Just the dozen or so Fukien tea trees Mu Ruo saw were each worth over a million, not to mention other valuable flowers and plants.

Mu Ruo suspected that if a thief came in to steal the flowers and plants, they could become rich selling them.

Indeed, the world of the wealthy was much richer than the wealthy first and second generations Mu Ruo had seen in her previous life.

Growing up in such a family, it was no wonder Fu Jianzhi’s authoritative demeanor was so pronounced and came so naturally.

“You—are Mu Ruo? Fu Jianzhi’s wife?”

Hearing a voice, Mu Ruo turned around to see a man in a suit with slicked-back hair approaching.

After thinking for a moment, Mu Ruo remembered that this man was Fu Jianzhi’s second uncle, Fu Quan.

Fu Jianzhi had two uncles, both born to Zhou Yanhui. The blood relationship between them was weak, and their relationship was poor.

Zhou Yanhui and Old Master Fu both wanted Fu Quan and Fu Zheng to inherit more of the family business.

Unfortunately, neither of them could compare to Fu Jianzhi.

Taking power from Fu Jianzhi was like a pipe dream.

Fu Quan was a bit of a drifter, always out and about chasing women.

However, he was very sweet-talking and constantly said flattering things to Old Master Fu, who was very fond of him, thus indulging him in whatever he did.

Fu Quan had seen Mu Ruo before.

At that time, he hadn’t looked closely, not expecting Fu Jianzhi’s choice of woman to be so impressive.

“Fu Jianzhi is a lunatic, you know?” Fu Quan smiled. “He’s the kind of lunatic who wouldn’t be held responsible even if he killed you one day.”

Mu Ruo folded her arms.

It was well-known that Fu Quan and Fu Jianzhi were at odds; they were like enemies.

Understanding Fu Jianzhi from Fu Quan was like understanding Mu Ruo from her stepmother—a complete lack of credibility.

“Do you think I’d believe that?” Mu Ruo smiled. “Uncle, I think you’re the one who seems like a lunatic.”

Fu Quan laughed. “Little girl, you’re still too naive. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Butler Li. He watched Fu Jianzhi grow up and knows him best. Fu Jianzhi is cold-blooded, ruthless, and cruel like a venomous snake. It’s a pity you’re with him.”

“Even if he’s a lunatic, I still like him the most.”

A two million-dollar sponsor is impossible to find with a lantern.

Anyone who speaks ill of the sponsor is essentially speaking ill of Mu Ruo.

As a matter of professional ethics, Mu Ruo absolutely could not allow anyone to slander Fu Jianzhi.

Fu Jianzhi, being generous with money, with a light workload, and handsome, was like a deity in Mu Ruo’s eyes.

As expected, Fu Quan was provoked by Mu Ruo’s words, his face twisting a bit. “You really have peculiar tastes.”

Mu Ruo smiled slightly and replied with a touch of sarcasm, “I don’t have peculiar tastes; it’s just that Jianzhi is too exceptional. Compared to you, he’s not only handsome but also capable. Even if he goes crazy every day, I still like him.”

Fu Quan hated the comparison to Fu Jianzhi more than anything.

Because he wasn’t as good as Fu Jianzhi, the Fu family’s billions in assets had nothing to do with him. All the high-ranking members of the family were loyal to Fu Jianzhi and treated him with the utmost respect.

Because he wasn’t as good as Fu Jianzhi, the relatives all favored Fu Jianzhi, bowing and scraping to him, even though Fu Quan’s seniority was higher. The others treated Fu Quan with indifference.

Even this young woman, who looked as pure as moonlight, stayed with Fu Jianzhi despite knowing he was a lunatic.

Saying that Fu Quan was inferior to Fu Jianzhi was the greatest insult to him.

Fu Quan’s face darkened as he turned and left. “You little bitch, just you wait. I’ll deal with you later!”

Mu Ruo: …

Was it typical for antagonists to say things like that? Would she ever say such lines one day?

However, to Mu Ruo, such threats felt as empty as the Wolf King’s promises of “I will return.” They were completely useless.

Nearby, next to the artificial rockery.

Butler Li frowned. “The second young master has no sense of propriety. How can he spread such rumors to slander you?”

Fortunately, the lady had enough sense not to believe Fu Quan’s words and inquire about various matters from him like a fool.

Fu Jianzhi still had a faint smile on his face, looking very gentle. “Is there any problem with what he said?”

Butler Li was startled by Fu Jianzhi’s piercing cold gaze.

Fu Jianzhi’s eyes fell on Mu Ruo.

Even if Fu Jianzhi was a lunatic, she liked him the most.

Perhaps it was something she said out of spite.

But once spoken, words become spells—once they are out, they cannot be taken back.

The wind will remember, and the clouds will remember.

Mu Ruo, from a distance, didn’t see him.

She admired the beautifully blooming roses around her, wanting to pick one secretly but fearing being caught as a thief.

“Damn it!” Fu Quan crushed a perfectly blooming tulip underfoot. “You little bitch! Open your eyes and see where I’m not as good as—”

“Wherever you are not as good as me.”

Suddenly hearing this voice, Fu Quan was startled and looked up in panic.

Fu Jianzhi, dressed in black, tall and refined like jade, was smiling at Fu Quan.

To outsiders, Fu Jianzhi appeared to be an extremely gentle man, but to Fu Quan, he looked like a terrifying demon.

Fu Quan instinctively tried to retreat. “I’m going to check on my father—”

“He’s still asleep.” Fu Jianzhi grabbed Fu Quan by the collar and gently pulled him back, his voice laced with a smile. “Don’t worry; he won’t see this.”

Fu Quan, over six feet tall, seemed like a small chick in Fu Jianzhi’s hands, easily pulled back.

Fu Jianzhi pressed his head down and slammed it against the artificial rockery, smiling as he looked at him. “Who were you just trying to kill?”

With blood streaming from his head, Fu Quan’s eyes revealed fear as he struggled desperately.

But his struggle was insignificant against Fu Jianzhi, who was skilled in combat.

Fu Jianzhi pushed him to the ground, grinding his wrist bones under his black leather shoes. “If you don’t care about your life, feel free to try.”

The doctors and nurses at the hospital were accustomed to seeing the Fu brothers in such dire straits. It wasn’t the first time they had been brought to this state.

But even after so many times, one would think Fu Quan would learn his lesson. Yet, he kept provoking Fu Jianzhi.
