Chapter 199 Chairman
When Jiang Yue and Fu Jin arrived at the Fu Mansion, they immediately went to see Old Man Fu.
This was the first time that Jiang Yue was meeting Old Man Fu so she was quite nervous.
The duo directly went inside another house at the back of the mansion. Although it was not as luxurious as the Fu Mansion, it was a cozy bungalow.
This place was Fu Jin’s late grandmother’s favorite place. When his grandmother passed, his grandfather had decided to live in this place instead of the mansion.
"Grandfather!" Fu Jin greeted the old man who was waiting for them in the small living room of the house.
The old man nodded at Fu Jin before fixing his gaze at Jiang Yue. "You must be my grandson’s wife. Come, take a seat."

Old Man Fu had a wizened face and a slightly hunched back. He leaned on his cane as he stared at Jiang Yue. "It seems that my grandson has chosen well. I married my wife when I was 23 and we spent 52 years of our life together before she passed three years ago," the old man said before staring at the window, reminiscing his past. "In those 52 years, even until today, I have never stopped loving her. Not even once."
"When you love someone, thinking about them is like breathing. You won’t even notice that you are doing it. And you can never stop," the old man smiled. "That is how much I loved my wife. I still do and I always will."
Jiang Yue and Fu Jin stared at the lovesick face of the old man before them.
"I wanted you both to have this." Old Man Fu handed a pink stone the size of a fist to Fu Jin. "Rose Quartz. It is not the best quality, but this item has been with me and your grandmother for fifty-two years.
"This is very special to me and your grandmother which is why I did not give it to your father. However, I will give this to you now.
"I want you both to keep this." action
"Thank you, Grandfather," Fu Jin answered while accepting the pink stone in his hands.
Jiang Yue and Fu Jin stayed with Old Man Fu until someone called them for the party. However, Old Man Fu decided to skip the first part of the program and actually came late to his own birthday party.
"Chairman, why are you still here? Everyone is waiting for you at the patio." The trio turned their heads towards the man who had just entered Old Man Fu’s house with a smile. "Ah... I see. So it’s because your favorite grandchild is here." Jiang Yue instantly noticed the way the guy addressed Fu Jin’s grandfather. Chairman?
The man was smiling at everyone. However, Jiang Yue could feel the sharpness in his eyes when he looked at her.
"Ah... Cousin, are you not going to introduce us to your fiancé?" the man asked.
"Of course. This is Fu Zuoyi and his sister Fu Xiaolan.," Fu Jin said while nodding at his cousins.
Jiang Yue stared at the siblings in front of her. She had already seen Fu Zuoyi and Fu Xiaolan’s pictures, but this would be the first time that she talked to the both of them.
Fu Zuoyi was as tall as Fu Jin with the same angular face as the one in the images. However, Fu Xiaolan seemed to be only a few inches shorter than her brother.
Jiang Yue had already seen Fu Xiaolan once at the Wu Conglomerate, but she was not able to pay too much attention to her height because she was busy listening to their conversation. She should be around six foot, if not taller. For a woman, Fu Xiaolan’s height was extremely tall.
She was beautiful, not the type that would make you drool, but the type that would make you smile. Her demeanor also seemed gentle and amiable.
Jiang Yue smiled at the siblings. "Hi, my name is Jiang Yue. Nice to meet you."

"Hi... I’m Fu Zuoyi. Welcome to the family," Fu Zuoyi said before shaking Jiang Yue’s hands.
"I would love for us to talk but a lot of guests are already waiting for Chairman. Why don’t we all head to the venue together?" Fu Zuoyi suggested.
Both Jiang Yue and Fu Jin looked at Old Man Fu before nodding without saying anything.
For some reason, Jiang Yue’s senses were heightened, as if she was with someone really dangerous.
However, this did not mask Jiang Yue’s excitement. Tonight they were going to announce their engagement in addition to letting everyone know that she owned Moon Corp.
By doing this, Jiang Yue believed that the people who had started supporting Fu Jin’s uncle would reconsider their decisions.
After all, Fu Jin’s soon-to-be wife was also influential in the business world.
Jiang Yue was hoping that this would also throw off the culprits plans.
