Mou Shapinghao neatly fastened her seat belt and asked, "Where are we going?"
"To take you back to the old house to meet the elders."
Mou Shapinghao let out a "ah" sound and said, "But I haven't prepared anything."
This was her first time meeting elders. She hadn't even bought a gift, and she had gone right after the class ended, without any mental preparation.
"Don't worry about it. Just arrive there and it's fine."
With these words from Fu Erzhuo, Mou Shapinghao felt much more at ease.
The car smoothly drove to the old Fu family residence.
This was a family banquet, not a grand celebration. Only a few tables were set by the lake pavilion, and all the guests were from the Fu family.
Mou Shapinghao didn't see the plaque at the entrance and thought it was some park.
After all, who would have such a large lake in their home? And so many pavilions and terraces, just like an ancient ancestral mansion.
"Shapinghao has arrived," Fu Old Lady said kindly to her.
Mou Shapinghao recognized the old lady's voice and softly said, "Grandma, are you feeling better now?"
"Much better already. It's been a long time since I saw you, and I still have some longing in my heart." Fu Old Lady smiled cheerfully. "How are you doing at the garden? Has my grandson bullied you?"
Mou Shapinghao blushed shyly and lowered her head. "Grandma, don't worry. Uncle is very kind to me."
When she was ill, Uncle had taken care of her for the entire night.
"That's good. Just live your life well, and I'll be relieved. Don't stand there anymore. Sit down, and prepare for the banquet."
Mou Shapinghao and Fu Shanchan sat beside the Fu Elder Lady.
The family was very happy and harmonious. Since it was a family banquet, no one brought up the matter of the company.
Fu Shanchan was the only son of the third generation. His parents died in an accident some years ago.
He did have a few cousins, but these guys were all not on the right path and didn't want or have the ability to take on the responsibility of the Fu family.
Anyway, with such an excellent cousin supporting them, they were happy to indulge themselves below and be very comfortable.
Fu Shanchan had a pair of fraternal twins' nieces and nephews. The two little ones especially liked Mou Shapinghao and kept circling around her.
The little niece raised her face and her eyes looked like black grapes, "Sister, you live with your uncle. Won't you be scared?"
Mou Shapinghao blushed.
The other elders laughed and teased her, "Mianian, you should call me auntie, why do you call me sister?"
Fu Qinian tied two little bows and pouted her lips, "I want to call you sister, calling auntie makes me sound old."
She climbed onto the stool and leaned close to Mou Shapinghao's ear, speaking in a voice she thought was very small: "My brother and I are very scared of the uncle. Sister, you are so brave. You dare to marry him."
"He is a nice person," Mou Shapinghao said.
"No one dares to marry my uncle. He is very fierce, and we are the most afraid of him."
After saying that, Fu Qinian suddenly shivered.
She shrank back and looked at Fu Shanchan, who was standing behind her, smiling slightly and looking at her. "Ah!" "Uncle Fu has arrived!" Fu Qinmian jumped off the chair and ran away with her little short legs, scurrying off.
She quickly hid behind her twin brother, "Brother, please protect me."
The elders were amused and burst into laughter.
Mo Shaping was affected by the atmosphere and couldn't help but smile with her lips curved.
In her previous family, she had never felt such a warm atmosphere. Memories were all filled with sharp and harsh scolding and insults, with no hint of laughter.
Fu Shihan's long fingers rested on the fluffy top of her hair and gently rubbed it twice.
"Shaping, don't believe her nonsense. Mianmian is a smart girl. Even adults can easily be deceived by her."
After being so harshly criticized by the little niece, Mo Shaping deepened her misunderstanding of him.
In her heart, perhaps he had already become a fierce and cold world-class ugly man.
Mo Shaping playfully said, "I think Mianmian is right. You must be very fierce, even children are afraid of you."
Fu Shihan was helpless and laughed dryly.
After dinner, he took Mo Shaping away.
After they left, Fu Old Lady and her own daughter were whispering to each other.
"Did you see how Shaping and Shihan got along? Since Shihan's parents passed away, this child has rarely smiled. She only knows work all day long. It makes people feel heartbroken to see it."
The former Fu Shihan was indeed taciturn and didn't smile much. So the younger generations were afraid of him and didn't dare to approach him.
"Yes, I see that Shihan has become more cheerful than before. Perhaps he himself hasn't noticed. Mom, you must have helped Shihan find the right wife."
Fu Old Lady smiled contentedly, "Don't you see how old the old woman is? This ability to judge people is still there. I hope Shaping and Shihan can stay together forever. Otherwise, when I reach the netherworld, I won't be able to face Shihan's parents without any face."
The aunt's eyes filled with tears, "Mom, don't say that. Uncle and Aunt嫂 will be very happy to see Shihan getting married now."
On the way back, Mo Shaping was so sleepy that her head moved slowly, and she couldn't help falling asleep against the car window.
Last time, she slept on Fu Shihan's shoulder, but he pushed her away mercilessly. But this time, she voluntarily leaned against the car window to sleep, and Fu Shihan, seeing that she slept restlessly, even voluntarily placed his palm under her head.
He wasn't sorry for this woman. He just did it out of the kindness of his heart for her good performance today.
After all, he married her just to deal with the elders. Now that she could make the elders happy, it was also not a waste of marriage.
With this soft cushion, Mo Shaping slept exceptionally sweetly.
When she woke up, she found Fu Shihan's hand resting beside her face, and she blushed shyly.
"Big, uncle, are you always supporting my head?"
Fu Shihan didn't have time to withdraw his hand. He didn't expect to be discovered.
His expression froze, and quickly returned to his usual aloofness, his tone coldly saying, "Don't be so sentimental. I'm afraid you'll bump the car window."
After saying that, Fu Shihan didn't care about Mo Shaping and got out of the car himself.
Mo Shaping pouted her cheeks angrily and followed Uncle Fu to get out of the car.
She walked very slowly. Fu Shihan was almost in the elevator when he turned around and found her still lingering by the car.
"Come over quickly?"
"Oh, here I am." Mo Shaping hurriedly quickened her pace.
When she was almost downstairs, she was tripped and fell forward.
Fu Shihan frowned, his body reacting faster than his brain, taking two steps forward and stabilizing the person firmly, "How stupid? You can fall on flat ground too?"
Mo Shaping rubbed the hurt tip of her nose, pitifully saying, "Uncle, I have poor eyesight."
She really didn't know what the uncle's body was made of. How could his chest be so hard? It almost made her cry.
Fu Shihan said disdainfully, "If you can't see, just hold my hand."
"Oh."
Mo Shaping carefully held his two fingers in her hand. She didn't dare to touch them too much, so she gently held his ring finger and little finger, walking along with him like a child.
Mianian was right. Uncle Fu can really be very fierce sometimes.
