"Are you sure about this?" Father Wu asked. He wanted to know if his father is already determined to do this.
He would not want this to implicate the whole Wu Family in the future.
"Yes. I will visit the Wang Family one of these days and talk to the old man Wang about this matter.
Seeing his son's unconvinced expression, Grandfather Wu immediately appeased him. "Sheng'er, I need your support on this. You have to accompany me in the Wang household by the time I talk to Wang Guiren."
"Tsk... this is the reason why I would still not relinquish my control of the company. You lack viciousness. You are too soft."
"I fear that you will become like me in the future and give in to your daughter someday."
"I remember how I spoiled Wu Ziliang, and that is exactly how you are treating your daughter right now." Grandfather Wu ended his speech while shaking his head.
Father Wu pressed his lips together. This time he cannot deny his fathers words. He is indeed a little soft-hearted when it comes to his daughter and even to the company.
"Speaking of Minxia, I will speak to old man Wu and have her intern at Young Master Fu's publishing company."
"Fu Jin will be away for another two years and I believe there is actually no need for Minxia to study abroad so she could stay away from him."
"This is also a great opportunity for her to associate herself with Fu Yi."
"I'm sure that Fu Yi can teach her a thing or two."
After hearing his fathers words, Father Wu immediately pulled his brows together. "I thought we already agreed to send Wu Minxia abroad? Why is she going to intern in the Fu Jin's company now?"
"Wu Sheng, think about it. What your daughter needs right now is to give her hope to straighten out her life. She needs to realize that there are more people out there and not just make Fu Jin her only option." Grandfather Wu explained. This is not him spoiling his granddaughter. This is him, giving her granddaughter options.
"But Father? How will working in Fu Jin's company help her? This will only give her hope that Fu Jin will like her in the future!" Father Wu tried to reason out against his father's logic.
Grandfather Wu's words are just wrong in a lot of ways.
What he wanted is to let his granddaughter work for the Fu instead of keeping her away from them. What sort of logic is this?
This will only give his daughter fake hope and will break her heart all over again!
Why is his father so illogical?
Grandfather Wu can't help but feel a little irritated to his son's reasoning. Why does it seem like his son came from a totally different gene?
Why can't he follow his train of thoughts?!
Does he have to explain everything to this man? Grandfather Wu can't help but blame himself for having an incompetent son.
"Wu Sheng, listen to me and you better remember this." He started to explain."I never wanted history to repeat itself. But I never said that I never wanted Wu Minxia to be together with Fu Jin."
"Father... that"
"I am not yet done young man! Shut your mouth and listen carefully!"Grandfather Wu can't help but raise his voice towards his son.
"I will not allow Wu Minxia to repeat whatever her aunt did. This time, I will first let her work her way to the Fu's slowly."
"She needed Zhao Feiyan and Fu Yi to like her first. Before she could have Fu Jin's attention."
"I know that Fu Jin is going to train abroad. He will be away for two years, and we can always use this opportunity to make Minxia close to the Fu Family."
"By the time Fu Jin comes back, Minxia will be in too deep to the Fu family. I'm sure even the Fu Family's dog will like her by then."
"Then Fu Jin will only be helpless against his parent's wishes."
"And what better way to start all this than by showing your daughters talent to both Fu Yi and Zhao Feiyan?"
"I'm sure your daughter will do everything to impress her future in-laws. Do you understand me, son?"
Father Wu wrinkled his nose in confusion. Why would his father suddenly change his mind?
He knows that this couldn't be just about Minxia's happiness. No! He knows his father. Old man Wu is more cunning than this.
Why is he trying to involve Minxia in all this?
Does he have a more intricate plan behind this decision?
However, Father Wu can only keep his confusion to himself. He looked at his father and nodded, indicating that he understood his plans.
"Alright. I am tired now. You may go" Grandfather Wu gestured his son to leave before getting up.
He poured himself a glass of whiskey before he made sure that his son is already gone.
Then Grandfather's Wu's temperament suddenly become cold and murderous.
A creepy smile made its way into his wrinkled face as he finished the alcohol in his glass. Then he hummed a tune.
"Fu Family... Fu Family."
"Your lives will end with a tragedy."
Then a burst of deep sinister laughter echoed inside Grandfather Wu's study.
