I Want a Lifetime with You
Chapter 515 The Past Between Jiang Jingyun And The Fu Clan

After Shi Nuan said that, Fu Chengyan could not help but furrow his brows. Yun Jing and Old Mrs. Yun were indeed behaving a little strangely. I thought Yun Shen seemed evil, but the others from the Yun family acted even more abnormally than him.

When Shi Nuan saw the look on Fu Chengyan's face, she knew her husband was keeping tabs on his mind. "Never mind them. After all, we don't have much interaction with the Yun family." Fu Chengyan nodded. "Let's get in the car."

When they returned, Ning Xin was surprised that they were home early. "I thought young people like you would spend more time socializing."

"There were too many people. Yan was concerned that I'd get tired, so we came home early." Shi Nuan held Ning Xin's hands and asked, "Aunt Ning, why haven't you gone to sleep yet?"

"I was worried about you, so I waited here," replied Ning Xin as her gaze fell on Shi Nuan's hand. "What is this?"

Shi Nuan quirked her lips and pointed at the bracelet. "Old Mrs. Yun insisted on giving this to me and said it was a gift. Aunt Ning, Yan told me you also have one. Is that true?"

"Yes, it's true!" Ning Xin nodded and continued, "Actually, your grandma gave it to me. She said it was a pair of bracelets. After your great-uncle passed away, your great-aunt married another person and took the bracelet with her. I never thought that she would give it to you today."

Ning Xin was quite surprised. She was not familiar with Jiang Jingyun. When she married into the Fu clan, Jiang Jingyun had remarried many years ago. Thus, it was natural for Ning Xin not to know the character of Jiang Jingyun. Fu Heng's mother told Ning Xin regarding the matter. However, as it was already in the past, no one mentioned it anymore.

Looking at Fu Chengyan, Ning Xin found the answer in his eyes. Then, she nodded. "It originally belonged to the Fu clan. Since she has given it to you, keep it."

Fu Zhengyun came downstairs right after Ning Xin finished her words. When he saw the jade bracelet on Shi Nuan's wrist, his expression changed slightly.

"Grandpa, what's wrong?"

Shi Nuan noticed the strange look on Fu Zhengyun's face. So, she parted her lips and asked, "Is it because of this bracelet?"

Fu Zhengyun shook his head. "It's nothing. Since she has given it to you, just take it."

Then, he glanced at Fu Chengyan and said, "Yan, come with me to the study."

Shi Nuan felt Fu Zhengyun was going to say something, but since he refused to elaborate, she would not ask any further. Yet, Shi Nuan could not help but look at Fu Chengyan when Fu Zhengyun called the latter. Her husband patted her hands and said, "Keep Aunt Ning company and chat with her. If you're really tired, go to the room and sleep."

"Okay!"

Following Fu Zhengyun to the study, Fu Chengyan saw the solemn expression on the former's face. "Grandpa, are you concerned because of the bracelet?"

Fu Zhengyun's expression was indeed somber. He sighed after hearing Fu Chengyan's question. "It's fine. However, I feel that she has some hidden intentions by returning the bracelet suddenly." "Grandpa, what do you mean?" Fu Chengyan furrowed his brows and continued, "Is it due to something else that happened back then?"

Fu Zhengyun raised his head and looked at Fu Chengyan inquisitively. After a while, he smiled. "How was your trip to the Yun family today?" "It looks like Yun Jing will be the head of the Yun family for sure," replied Fu Chengyan.

However, Fu Zhengyun abruptly raised his head and asked, "Is it confirmed?"

Fu Chengyan did not understand the look on Fu Zhengyun's face. "Probably, because Old Mrs. Yun said so. Moreover, Yun Jing is the first child of the family. It will be him naturally. Since when you cared about the affairs of the Yun family?"

For some reason, Fu Zhengyun heaved a sigh. "Did you meet the third child of the Yun family?"

Fu Chengyan smiled. "Yes."

"I think he can handle the Yun family instead," commented Fu Zhengyun.

Hearing that, Fu Chengyan raised his brows, and his eyes lit up. The smile on his face became inscrutable.

Looking at Fu Chengyan's expression, Fu Zhengyun thought his grandson had the same idea as he did. "Do you also think Yun Shen is a good candidate?"

"Among the three heirs in the Yun family, Yun Shen has the best qualities of a leader indeed, and he is smart. Nevertheless, his identity is a bit awkward. That's why he was not selected to be the candidate from the beginning. Grandpa, are you trying to interfere in the Yun family's matter?"

Hearing that, Fu Zhengyun creased his brows and commented, "There is one thing that I am unaware of at first. I think you should keep an eye out about it." "Grandpa, what is it?"

"Your great-aunt had a misunderstanding with the Fu clan before getting remarried back then." Fu Zhengyun shook his head and shut his eyes briefly before adding, "Your great-uncle, he... his accident was no an accident!"

A sharp look flashed through Fu Chengyan's eyes. He asked, "Grandpa, what do you want to tell me?"

"It's not a big deal. A woman like her will not cause any trouble. Yet, when I saw the bracelet on Nuan's wrist, for some reason I was reminded of the situation when she left that year. She was discontented." Fu Zhengyun seemed unwilling to recall the things back then. He only remembered them when he saw the bracelet on Shi Nuan's wrist.

"If she had a misunderstanding with the Fu clan, why would she maintain relations with us?" queried Fu Chengyan because he recalled that Fu Zhengyun even let Fu Sheng and Fu Heng visit the Yun family every year. Fu Chengyan was not convinced that was his grandpa's style of handling affairs.

"She came to visit us herself. After being remarried for two years, she visited the Fu clan with the newborn baby and her new husband. She said she had no family members in her maiden family, and the Fu clan would be her maiden family since then."

Fu Chengyan's eyes flickered with an intense glint. "What did you say?"

Fu Zhengyun moved his lips and explained, "She was really in love with your greatuncle back in those days, but she remarried three months after his death." Fu Zhengyun scratched his head before saying, "I thought she was still young. Your great-grandpa was in charge of the Fu clan at that time. Our family was not as wealthy as it is now, so we naturally would not let her become a widow at such young age and stay in our family forever. Plus, she had no children back then. Your great-grandpa decided to keep her as his goddaughter. That's why she still kept in contact with us."

However, Fu Chengyan frowned tightly. "How did great-uncle die back then?"

"It was an accident. The fuel tank leaked. After your great-uncle got your great-aunt out of the car, he could not make it out and died because the car blew up." "Did great-aunt think it was you who did that?"

Fu Zhengyun lifted his head and stared into Fu Chengyan's earnest eyes. He then shook his head bitterly. "Do you think it was me?"

Fu Chengyan raised his brows and remarked, "It might be possible."

"You bastard!" Fu Zhengyun grabbed the inkstone and was about to hurl it at Fu Chengyan. However, Fu Zhengyun looked at the pair of earnest eyes staring back at him and could not bring himself to do that. Hence, he sat back tiredly and shook his head. "Looks like I've left a bad impression on you."

Then, Fu Zhengyun stated, "That's right, your great-grandpa was considering the successor of the family business of the Fu clan. Your great-uncle and I truly had a competitive relationship in business. However, our family always reserved the seat of power for the capable. We competed fairly and made a deal back then. Whoever had the best abilities would get the place of the head of the Fu clan. I didn't have to murder my blood-related sibling just to get the position."

At that, Fu Chengyan nodded in response. "I will remember the things you said today, Grandpa."

"All right, you may leave now." Fu Zhengyun gestured at Fu Chengyan and said, "Go accompany Nuan!"

After sending Fu Chengyan off, Fu Zhengyun fell deep in thought.

Back then, when Jiang Jingyun left the Fu residence, her ferocious gaze was still fresh in Fu Zhengyun's mind. However, Jiang Jingyun brought her husband and kid to visit them later. She seemed to have become a different person, and she got close to the Fu clan.

Since she was remarried, she had no relationship with the Fu clan anymore. Therefore, Fu Zhengyun did not care much about that. Yet, once he saw the bracelet that day, Fu Zhengyun began to feel unsettled. "What's on your mind?" asked Shi Nuan.

She went into the bedroom and saw Fu Chengyan sitting on the couch. It was rare that he looked so serious when thinking about something.

Fu Chengyan looked up and saw Shi Nuan walking over. He waved his hand to beckon her over. "Have you finished chatting with Aunt Ning?"

Shi Nuan nodded and replied, "Yes!" She walked over and sat beside Fu Chengyan. He took advantage of holding her in his arms and squeezed her fingerbones. He looked absent-minded as he did that idly. Shi Nuan rarely saw Fu Chengyan behave that way. She could not help but stand up before placing her hand on Fu Chengyan's forehead. She extended her hand and smoothened his furrowed brows. Fu Chengyan put his hand on Shi Nuan's and moved it away before asking, "What's wrong?"

"I should be the one asking you that question. Why are you so lost in thoughts? What are you thinking about?"

Fu Chengyan only shook his head. "It's nothing. Just something about work." "Sure." Shi Nuan gave him a nod. "Oh, Aunt Ning told me about the Yun family just now. She said the old lady from the Yun family doesn't like the Fu clan."

Hearing Shi Nuan's words, Fu Chengyan raised his brows. "Did Aunt Ning tell you that?"

Nodding, Shi Nuan answered, "She told me to try to avoid contact with the Yun family in the future. Aunt Ning did not say anything else, but she talked about her few visits to the Yun family. She went with Uncle Heng back then. Yun Jing's father seemed to dislike them, and they rarely went over after Aunt Ning started to not feel too well."

"Yun Jing's father?" Wasn't that the child born after Jiang Jingyun married into the Yun family the second year? Old Master Yun seemed to adore the child very much, but he did not pass the position of the head of the Yun family and Yun Group to the child in the end.

A thought suddenly flashed across his mind, and Fu Chengyan stood up abruptly.

Shi Nuan was startled by his action. "What's going on?"

Fu Chengyan returned to his senses and gently shook his head. "Nothing. Are you tired? I'll fill the bathtub for you. You should get some rest after taking a bath." "Okay." Although Shi Nuan felt that Fu Chengyan's expression was weird, she did not comment on that. "I'll do it myself."

"No, wait here." Fu Chengyan got up and filled the bathtub for Shi Nuan. After she went into the bathroom, Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes and quickly took out his phone to give Zhou Zheng a call. "Investigate Yun Min at once."

"Yun Min? Mr. Fu, are you referring to the one from the Yun family? Yun Jing's father?" Zhou Zheng was a little curious.

"Yes, that's him. Also, dig up some information about Yun Jing as well," ordered Fu Chengyan.
