"I've just lost weight because I've been working hard lately, so don't worry about me," Lin Qingran patted Fu Rongrong's hand.

"Now that your older brother and I are no longer together, please stop calling me sister-in-law."

Fu Rongrong was a little embarrassed. "It's all my fault. I was used to calling you that before. From now on, I'll call you Sister Qingran."

As she spoke, Fu Rongrong's eyes reddened again.

Lin Qingran smiled and patted Fu Rongrong's head. "Alright, stop crying. You're a mother now, why are you still so prone to tears?"

Fu Rongrong sniffed. "I just get angry whenever I think of Fu Xiuheng."

Fu Rongrong is overseas, but since her reunion with Lin Qingran, she has been paying close attention to things happening in China.

Only then did I learn that Fu Xiuheng had met Lin Qingran, which later caused so many things to happen.

Ultimately, all of this stemmed from Fu Xiuheng.

Fu Rongrong had originally planned to find an opportunity to return to China to see Lin Qingran and see what Fu Xiuheng was up to.

Unexpectedly, Shen Qiyan arrived before Fu Xiuheng.

Shen Qiyan assumed that Fu Rongrong was overseas and unaware of what was happening in China, so he took the initiative to approach Fu Rongrong and asked her to help introduce him to that famous private detective.

Upon hearing Shen Qiyan's words, Fu Rongrong felt a chill run down her spine.

He immediately realized that Lin Qingran was the one who wanted to investigate, which was why he was so eager to return to China.

He told Lin Qingran about all of this. Lin Qingran had already heard Wen Qingyu mention it once before and already knew what was going on, but she still pretended to be surprised.

"I really didn't expect that Shen Qiyan wouldn't let me go either. But Lin Yuyan came to Yuncheng a while ago and has been secretly watching my movements. I guess he also suspects my identity."

Although Fu Rongrong knew a lot, he was not clear about the various details.

Hearing that Lin Yuyan was so dark-hearted that she wanted to personally keep an eye on Lin Qingran, Fu Rongrong couldn't help but get goosebumps all over her body.

"Those people are disgusting!" Fu Rongrong said indignantly.

"This is just an appetizer, it won't really affect me much," Lin Qingran said.

"There's nothing I really need to ask you about. What was your eldest brother's brother like when he was at home?"

"Why did you suddenly ask about him, sister-in-law?" Fu Rongrong asked, somewhat surprised.

However, seeing Lin Qingran's serious expression, Fu Rongrong also became serious.

"He's been introverted since he was little and doesn't talk much. To be honest, we don't get along very well. But he's a nice person. Although he's quiet, he's quite gentle. Sometimes when we kids encounter something, he'll lend a hand."

As she spoke, Fu Rongrong sighed.

"Anyway, at least in my memory, he had no other problems besides being too introverted. It's a pity, he was introverted his whole life, and in the end he fell for a woman and was kicked out of his home."

As Fu Rongrong was talking, she suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, I saw him once last year."

Fu Rongrong and her husband and children traveled to the country where Fu Jingnian lived. Fu Rongrong thought that since they were siblings after all, they hadn't seen each other for many years and missed each other a bit, so she tentatively contacted Fu Jingnian.

I originally thought that Fu Jingnian hated the Fu family so much that he wouldn't even want to talk to his cousin anymore, but I didn't expect that Fu Jingnian would actually agree.

The two chatted for a long time and learned that Fu Jingnian had been invited by a Chinese businessman to take a senior management position in the company. He was doing quite well now, and his wife was pregnant, so he would soon be a father.

However, Fu Rongrong also felt it was a pity that she had gone from being a rich young master to working for someone else.

Lin Qingran nodded thoughtfully and then brought up the matter that Su Mian had investigated earlier with Fu Rongrong.

"I heard that the Fu family used to have an old steward named Liu, but he left the Fu family for some reason. I also heard that the Fu family did not arrange any other work for him or his family."

Fu Rongrong's expression became somewhat complicated, and Lin Qingran could tell at a glance that something was on Fu Rongrong's mind, so she pressed her for details.

"what happened?"

"After all, we are relatives, and there are some things I can't say." Fu Rongrong looked at Lin Qingran with a troubled expression.

"But since you asked, Sister Qingran, I'll tell you. When Fu Jingnian was little, he was always taken care of by Butler Liu's wife, so he got along very well with Butler Liu's family. Butler Liu also took special care of him, treating him like his own son. So after that incident, the old man felt that the butler was an eyesore and made him leave."

"Just because of that?" Lin Qingran asked, puzzled.

"Is there any other reason?" Fu Rongrong also looked confused.

Lin Qingran shook her head. "It's nothing, I was just asking casually. I don't know much about Fu Jingnian, and I haven't heard much about his story. But to be honest, your older brother's business acumen is only slightly above average among these prominent young people. I wonder if Fu Jingnian would be able to manage the Fu Group even better if he were in charge?"

When Fu Xiuheng was mentioned, Fu Rongrong couldn't help but let out a sarcastic laugh.

"Sister Qingran, you're absolutely right. In terms of talent, Big Brother really can't compare to Brother Jingnian."

Fu Rongrong once told her husband in private that Fu Xiuheng was simply standing on the shoulders of giants to see the world.

He himself has no extraordinary talent; he can only barely keep a company running normally.

Moreover, he was used to being domineering and arrogant. Relying on his family's power, others had to look up to them, so he didn't care about anyone.

Over the years, although the Fu Group has developed smoothly, Fu Xiuheng has always bullied others by abusing his power, and in fact, many people have come to dislike him.

He couldn't compare to Fu Jingnian back then. At least he spent a few days at the Fu Group. Although he didn't become the person in charge, it's said that everyone who had contact with Fu Jingnian back then praised him for being approachable and very intelligent.

It's just a mystery why Fu Jingnian ended up falling for a female celebrity in the entertainment industry and insisting on marrying her.

"Speaking of which, I just thought of another one." Fu Rongrong couldn't help but laugh.

"Although Jingnian's wife is just a female celebrity, her family actually has a political background. However, their family fortunes declined later. In those years, there were jokes circulating in the industry that if it weren't for the decline of that female celebrity's family, Jingnian might have married into the family. Why would he have had to fight against his family for a woman and end up being kicked out of the house?"
