Fu Yu Sheng did not want to make things even ugly which was why he walked past the crowd and went to the smoking area, even though he knew that Song Yan would be fine, he could not calm himself down. For eight years he has picked up the slack that was left by his brother and he never said a word but now that his wife had to do the same Fu Yu Sheng refused to be silent.
Him being pressurised was enough there was no need for his wife or kid to go through the same thing.
" Second brother," Fu Yu Shen wanted to stop Fu Yu Sheng but the latter chose to ignore him and did not reply storming away as he left a very heavy silence in his wake. Fu Yu Shen looked at his brother's back and then turned to look at Old Master Fu as he lowered his head and said, " Don't be upset, grandfather. Second brother is just worried which is why he said such things, he did not mean it."
" No, he is right," Old Master Fu rubbed the top of his cane with a disturbed look on his face and pursed his lips. " He is right, I have been a bit too biased. When Shu Chang told me he wanted to leave and did not want to take the Fu corporate, I let him do so even when he was prepared to become the heir from the second he was born and was trained as one but I did not stop him. Instead, I let him go and forced Yu Sheng to pick up everything that his brother left behind."
" In my heart, I knew that I was being hard on that kid but I ignored it when I saw how good he was doing, I never thought how he was working so hard and simply continued to turn a blind eye that he too needed a break …I just continued to rely more and more on him," Old Master Fu stared at the ground with a guilty look on his face. " But that kid never said anything, he did everything that I asked even bringing the company from the ground to the sky but now that his wife, the closest person to him is hurt because of Shu Chang's cowardice, it's obvious that he will be angry. I do not blame him, if anything I blame myself —— maybe I did not do a good job as I was supposed to do."
" No, grandfather that is not true——" Fu Yu Shen began but he was interrupted by Old Master Fu who shook his head and said, " You don't have to lie to me while looking out for the youngest, and the only granddaughter and watching out for the eldest, I forgot that there was another kid that needed me."
He chuckled and then added, " Your brother wanted to be a chef, you know …but I forced him to change his dreams at the last moment, I don't even know what he must have felt when I told him to take the management course in his university than the hotel one."
…
Fu Yu Sheng who was inside the smoking room heard everything that his grandfather was saying but he did not come to soothe him. Instead, he took a long drag of his cigar that he hardly used ever since he became a father but tonight his fried nerves could not take it.
He was the middle child of his parents while his brother was taking care of his studies as the heir, he was left to worry about his younger siblings since he was the ' only one who had nothing to do'.
He did not say anything because he knew that he was the only one who was responsible after his brother and thus took care of his brother and sister silently while taking care of his crying siblings he forgot how to cry. Their family was going into debt each day which was why they could not afford any nanny and he was the one who used to change Fu Rong's diapers and feed Fu Yu Shen who was young.
Back then he thought that his brother was working hard and this was the least he could do but on the day when his high school results came out, he found out that his brother who was in college left the house and his grandfather asked him to change all his plans. That day he wanted to cry and make a fuss but his grandfather placed his hand on his shoulder and told him,
' Yu Sheng will do this for the family, right?'
He was suppressed by the doll in his body and he listened to what his grandfather told him but that did not mean that he did not cry, he did everything …his dreams and his life but the thing was no one listened to his cries.
The same thing happened when he was at the age of marriage, he was asked to marry Song Yan without being asked about his opinion, and even the fact whether he wanted to give birth to an heir or not was taken out of his hands.
And then he was asked to leave for eight years missing the birth of the child for which he was made a tool.
'Family.'
'Family.'
'Family.'
Why was it that only he has to be the one to stand up for this family? And his wife as well? Why can't they stand up for him just once?
Fu Yu Sheng bit the edge of his cigar and threw it on the ground, before smashing it with his shoe. The cigar butt was extinguished with several amber flecks flying around as Fu Yu Sheng stared at the ground.
" I wish I could just hit that guy to death only once," he muttered as he cracked his neck. " That damned stupid fcker! Why did he have to drag Yan Yan down with him, if something happens to her again then ——" he bit out as a sharp pain shot through his head and a figure dressed in red with her face the same as Song Yan reached out her hand to him, her lips curled in a smile but then that smile got dyed with blood and the woman left him alone to rot in hell where he could only watch her burn in flames.
