Breakup and still want to be beautiful on your own? A crazy tycoon seduces and climbs to the top.

Numerous explanations flashed through Fu Shiling's mind, but she swallowed them back down.

If she said she didn't know the origin of the cheongsam, it would make her seem disrespectful to the Jiang family, and she would be seen as an overly spoiled young lady.

To say you know its origin... knowing it and then deliberately humiliating it in front of Mr. Jiang, isn't that even more outrageous?

It seems like no explanation is quite right.

Fu Shiling raised her hand and drank the red wine in one gulp.

They could only swallow their bitterness.

She glared at An Ying with hatred.

She never visited the Fu family before, how come she didn't know how capable she was?!

An Ying was speechless. Fu Shiling had chosen to walk into the line of fire herself, so it really wasn't An Ying's fault.

Grandpa Fu snapped out of his fascination with Kunqu Opera and glanced at Fu Shiling.

Fu Shiling's face turned red with anger, and she drank alone in a sullen mood.

Grandpa Fu shook his head and sighed. Although girls should be pampered as they grow up, he had doted on this granddaughter since she was little, satisfying her every need for good food, drink, and clothes.

But sometimes, being too spoiled isn't good either.

Grandpa Fu looked at An Ying with a loving expression and said, "Girl, did you arrange this Kunqu Opera performance?"

An Ying nodded obediently.

Of course, Fu Chengli also deserves half the credit.

He told her about the old man's two great hobbies, one of which was listening to Kunqu Opera.

My grandmother was a Kunqu Opera actress when she was young.

One day, while she was performing on stage, she met her grandfather, who was sitting in the audience listening to the opera.

Grandpa fell in love with Grandma at first sight.

Meanwhile, another wealthy family also took a liking to Grandma.

At the time, the Fu family strongly opposed his marriage to an actress.

Grandma knew that she and Grandpa were from two different worlds and didn't want to hold him back, so she secretly bought a boat ticket to go abroad, choosing to withdraw voluntarily and sever all ties.

Grandpa was young and impetuous at the time. When he learned that Grandma was going to escape, he immediately rushed to the dock and dragged her off the ship.

Then, disregarding everyone's objections, he forcibly married his grandmother.

Grandparents not only gave birth to four successful children, but the Fu family's business empire also grew larger and larger.

With the substantial accumulation of wealth from their ancestors, the grandfather deserves much credit for the Fu family's current global business and wealth.

Grandma accompanied Grandpa throughout his life, traveling all over the country and supporting each other through thick and thin.

Grandpa often said, "A man who mistreats his wife will never have any wealth."

Grandpa did it. After getting married, Grandma was pampered to the extreme, but she never took it for granted.

She always advised her grandfather to focus more on his work and children, and not to keep an eye on her.

Grandpa wouldn't listen; instead, he spoiled her even more.

A marriage that no one believed in had a future turned out to be a beautiful and fulfilling one that lasted a lifetime.

The only regret is that my grandmother passed away many years ago and could not stay with my grandfather until they grew old together.

That day, Fu Chengli recounted many stories of his grandparents' love, which moved An Ying to tears.

In this day and age, genuine affection like that of grandparents is so rare.

Grandma must have been a very gentle and beautiful woman, but unfortunately she never met her.

Grandpa Fu squinted slightly, staring thoughtfully at the beautiful costume.

“Over the years, the children have never prepared this kind of performance for fear of upsetting me. You are quite bold.”

An Ying smiled shyly.

Grandpa Fu sighed. He and his wife had once been so happy and content, so why were their children and grandchildren not getting along so well?

His eldest grandson, in particular, is over thirty years old and still can't find a wife.

He has absolutely none of the style he had when he was young.

The banquet hall was bustling with activity at that moment.

People were there to wish the old man a happy birthday, to give gifts, to exchange pleasantries, to gather in twos and threes to discuss business, and to keep the servants busy in the banquet hall.

A constant stream of visitors created a scene of prosperity and flourishing.

Despite being the birthday celebrant, Mr. Fu appeared somewhat forlorn.

His fingers, gripping his cane, trembled slightly as he murmured, "Yufen, if only you were still here..."

Grandpa Fu stroked his white beard, his expression even showing satisfaction.

Today's birthday banquet was a farce, and in the end, only this granddaughter, who is not related to him by blood but is in name, still cares about him and thinks about the bigger picture.

It seems this little girl is completely different from An Weiping.

An Ying blinked, catching a glimpse of Fu Chengli out of the corner of her eye.

He rested one hand on his cheek, staring at me with a smile in his eyes.

There was something indescribable about his smile.

The other hand...

He gave her a thumbs up.

An Ying: ? ? ?

Just then, a woman's voice came from the doorway:

"Dad, I'm back to celebrate your birthday! My international flight was delayed for ages, but I hope I didn't miss anything good, right?"
