  After Secretary Song dialed Lu Qingmei's number, he handed the phone to Fu Qingquan, then sensibly exited the study.

  Within several minutes, Secretary Song, who was standing guard outside the study, heard the smashing of things inside the study. He ran in frantically to take a look and saw that the several antique vases on the vase rack had been smashed to smithereens all over the floor…


  The broken vase pieces have scratched even the fine red sandalwood book rack!

  Fu Qingquan's old and withered large hand supported him against the edge of the desk. His chest was violently heaving up and down, and his gaze was so dim that he looked murderous. "Go! Go fetch Fu Tianci from Fu Huai'an's place! I don't believe that Lu Qingmei would dare snatch him away from my place!"

  Secretary Song nodded, then called for the servants to come in and clean up the mess. After settling Fu Qingquan down, he got someone to prepare the car and then personally headed to the Fu residence to fetch Fu Tianci.

  …


  Lu Qingmei was no fool. She didn't get mad when Fu Qingquan called her in an enraged fit to question her. She asked Fu Qingquan if Fu Tianci was over at his place, and Fu Qingquan replied with, "He's over here. Why, are you planning to kidnap him from my place?" From his reply, Lu Qingmei could tell that Fu Tianci wasn't at Fu Qingquan's place, so they got into a quarrel.

  Although there was a father-and-son kinship between the duo, they had always been at loggerheads. Lu Qingmei hung up the call and called back home. The servant said that Fu Tianci had left with a piece of luggage this morning, saying that he was returning the luggage to his classmate.

  Lu Qingmei sensed something amiss, so she ordered the servant to check and see if any clothes were missing from Fu Tianci's wardrobe. She also had them check whether Fu Tianci's favorite game console was around. Indeed, many of Fu Tianci's frequently-worn garments were gone, and his favorite game console wasn't there either.

  The first name that popped into Lu Qingmei's mind was Fu Huai'an. The last time Fu Tianci ran away from home, they found him at Fu Huai'an's place too.

  She didn't dare to delay any further. Lu Qingmei was afraid that Fu Tianci, that silly boy, would tell everything to that scheming Fu Huai'an. By then, the meticulous planning she had done for Fu Tianci would be wasted.

  On the way to Pengcheng, Lu Qingmei's expression was dark. She got the driver to get off at the next expressway exit and turned around, heading back to Haicheng.

  Early on, when Fu Tianci left home the last time, she had installed a GPS in his game console, cellphone, and wallet. Once she turned on the app, she could find out Fu Tianci's location.

  The app indicated that Fu Tianci was located in Nanshan, which further confirmed Lu Qingmei's suspicions that Fu Tianci was at Fu Huai'an's place, making her heart sink even deeper.

  Previously, when news of Fu Huai'an and Lin Nuan's wedding was all over the newspapers and the internet, the media had exposed the location of Fu Huai'an and Lin Nuan's new residence. It was a large area with excellent Fengshui, with its back facing the south mountain.

  It was also revealed from Fu Huai'an's secretary's office that when Lin Nuan took part in a story-telling competition, she had said that she liked the Chatsworth House in "Pride and Prejudice." Because this manor in Nanshan was designed in a European style and was rather similar to the Chatsworth House where "Pride and Prejudice" was filmed, Fu Huai'an decided to buy it, and after renovation, he made it their new abode.

  Over that period of time, there was a trending slogan… One should aspire to live like Lin Nuan, and aspire to marry someone like Fu Huai'an.

  Lu Qingmei gripped her phone. Since she could no longer depend on Fu Qingquan, she had to use her own strength to help her son vie for the Kaide Corporation.

  Lu Qingmei felt that Fu Tianci was still young. Hence, at present, he only wanted to be a second-generation rich kid who lived in luxury without having to lift a finger. But once he matured, he would certainly regret the decision he made today.

  Rather than letting Fu Tianci live the rest of his life in regret, even if Fu Tianci would hate her right now, there were certain things that Lu Qingmei had to do. It was for herself, but it was even more so for her son, Fu Tianci!

  By the time Lu Qingmei reached the Fu residence, Lin Nuan and Fu Huai'an were done packing and were preparing to set off for the Green Mountain Villa to visit Ji Yun.

  Actually, since he ran away from home, Fu Tianci had been feeling jittery.

  Looking at Lin Nuan and Fu Huai'an, who were putting on their jackets, he had opened his mouth several times, wanting to ask to tag along. However, looking at Little Candy, who was holding onto his hand next to him, and Tuan Tuan, who was waving his hand at Fu Huai'an and Lin Nuan, he couldn't make himself say it out loud.

  Fu Tianci stuck both hands in his pockets, putting on a cool pose as he towered over Tuan Tuan and asked, "Are you not planning to go with your papa and mama?"

  Tuan Tuan looked up and blinked his large eyes at Fu Tianci, then nodded his head obediently and said, "Accompany Sister Liuli!"

  Tuan Tuan said those words particularly eloquently.

  Little Candy also gazed at Fu Tianci and said, "Tuan Tuan and I are going to play house with Sister Liuli! Do you want to play with us! You can play the role of… role of…"

  After trying hard to think of something for a long time, Little Candy looked up and excitedly said to Fu Tianci, "Ah… you can play the role of Xiao Bai!"

  "Xiao Bai?" Fu Tianci looked confused.

  "Right! Our next-door neighbor granny's Xiao Bai is super adorable… He's even taller than me when he stands up, and his fur is soft and smells super nice…"

  The more Fu Tianci listened, the more he felt that something wasn't right. He asked, "What is Xiao Bai? A dog?"

  "Right!" Little Candy answered with a vibrant smile.

  Fu Tianci was at a loss for words.

  He had the urge to swear!

  "Why don't you go and be the dog?" Fu Tianci retorted.

  "But Xiao Bai is a little boy! I'm a girl!" Little Candy answered earnestly.

  Fu Tianci stared at Little Candy, fire surging inside his heart. "Then why don't you ask Tuan Tuan to be Xiao Bai?"

  Little Candy hugged Tuan Tuan in one swoop, gazing at Fu Tianci warily and fiercely. "Stop having illusions! I only have Tuan Tuan in my heart! I'm going to marry Tuan Tuan! I'm not going to become a married couple with you!"

  Fu Tianci was at a loss for words.

  Fu Tianci was going berserk internally. What was he doing being at loggerheads with a child?

  Lin Nuan, who had just put on shoes, heard what Little Candy said and couldn't resist chuckling softly when she saw that Tuan Tuan, who was being hugged tightly by Little Candy, had reddened ears.

  "Sir, Madam… the door guard called to say that there's a Madam Lu outside right now. She claims to be Young Master Tianci's mother and is here to fetch him!" Seeing as Lin Nuan and Fu Huai'an had yet to leave, Auntie Li jogged to the entranceway and spoke hurriedly. "The door guard is asking if he should let her in."

  Fu Tianci was stunned to hear this. He took his hands out from his pockets and stared at Lin Nuan and Fu Huai'an helplessly.

  "Did you tell your mother the address of the Fu residence?" Lin Nuan asked Fu Tianci.

  The address of the Fu residence was kept secret. The outside world knew that it was located in Nanshan, but they didn't know the exact location. Even if Lu Qingmei wanted to find Fu Tianci after realizing he was missing, she would have to spend quite some time checking. How could she possibly find out this location so fast?

  Fu Tianci hurriedly shook his head. "I'm not a dummy. Why would I tell her where I am?"

  Lin Nuan gazed at Fu Huai'an and said, "We'll probably have to postpone our trip to Green Mountain Villa until this afternoon!"
