Chapter 285
Testator: Fu Yichang
Name of Executor: He Quan
As I am worried that after my death, my heirs will have disputes over my property, I made this Will on 9 October 2020 in Hucheng, while I am seriously ill, to deal with the property and interests that I own as follows.
Below is a string of ordinances and regulations that are written.
The most important a*set of the Fu family, the Imperial Fragrance House, was given to Fu Yunshen by Master Fu, including 15% of the shares of the Fu Group.
He also gave Fu Yunshen the Fu family’s properties in the imperial capital, which added up to more than a billion dollars.
If this will was finally put in front of the Fu family, not to mention Fu Mingcheng, even the other few would have made a fuss.
Giving Imperial Fragrance Place to Fu Yunshen would be tantamount to giving out the Fu Group as well.
He Quan is a person that Master Fu trusts a lot.
Three years ago he had thought he was going to die and had also written a will and given it to He Quan.
When he pa*sed away, he believed that He Quan would be able to carry out this will very well.
Thinking of what Elder Zhong had said to him earlier, Elder Fu sighed.
No one knew his physical condition better than he himself.
There was nothing wrong with him, and he was not ill, but he was indeed heading towards the end.
He had lasted twenty years, even if all the toxins in his body had been removed and he had been recuperating for so long, he was still quite light.
But after all, the poison had been in his bones for twenty years, plus his body had left a lot of dark wounds when he was on the battlefield.
More importantly, his body was not tired, but his heart was tired too.
A tree lives on a layer of skin, a man lives on a breath.
The breath he had been holding on to for so many years was finally relieved when he saw Fu Yunshen getting better and better and having other friends around him.
This time, there was no going back.
Old Master Fu was very sober.
At his age, he was already living a high life expectancy.
So there is a good chance that one day he will pa*s away in his sleep.
Master Fu took the will again and read it word by word for a long time, making sure there were no problems, before putting it back into the drawer and locking it with the key.
Then he got up and paced to the bookshelf next to his bed.
As he had done many times before, Master Fu took a picture frame off the shelf.
The frame contained a picture of a man and woman in uniform, still off-white, obviously taken a long, long time ago.
The photo was well preserved, not even a crease, which showed how careful the person who had preserved it had been.
“Yuehua.” Elder Fu wiped the frame and muttered to himself, “It’s been a long time since I spoke to you again, I don’t know if you’ll be angry.”
After a pause, he smiled faintly again, “I guess you won’t be angry, it’s been twenty years, you’ve been reincarnated.”
The woman in the photo didn’t say anything, she just looked at him quietly.
Master Fu rambled on at the photo for a long time again, and as he did so, he got the urge to sleep.
After putting the picture frame back, Master Fu reclined back into his rocking chair, closed his eyes and began to rest.

Outside the door.
Fu Mingcheng stayed for a while before leaving very reluctantly.
He went downstairs.
Mrs Fu was sitting in the living room, pruning the flower branches in the vase.
When she saw him coming down, she wiped her hands and stood up impatiently: “Mingcheng, what did the old man say? Has he agreed to give you the Imperial Fragrance House?”
“No.” Fu Mingcheng was in a bad mood, “I didn’t even get to talk to Dad, as soon as Uncle Zhong left, he fell asleep.”
No matter how much he wished for Master Fu to go, he would not disturb Master Fu.
Mrs. Fu’s expression gave a pause and shook her head, “I see that Master is either sleeping or trying to avoid you.”
The Imperial Fragrance Workshop had recently been working on a new type of balm and perfume.
Fu Mingcheng was going to take these new products and go and work with Bieman.
As the number one perfume company under the venus group and one of the top luxury goods in the world, Biman was not the only one who wanted this project.
There are also several families in the imperial capital that specialise in this area of perfumery and want to compete with Royal Scent.
The strength of the company lies in the secret formula of the perfume, but in terms of overall strength, it cannot be compared with these families in the capital.
But Fu Mingcheng would not give up, he just needed to get all the shares of Imperial Scent Place from Master Fu and immediately went to talk to Biman about the project.
But no matter how many times he mentioned it, Master Fu’s attitude was ambiguous, not nodding or shaking his head.
When he heard Mrs. Fu’s words, Fu Mingcheng sank his face: “I know what the old man is thinking, he definitely wants to give Fu Yunshen the Royal Scent Place, but can’t he think that a fop can hold up the Royal Scent Place?”
“What will happen when it’s lost? That’s Biman, does he know what Biman stands for?”
As far as Fu Yunshen was concerned, he had never managed a company, and probably didn’t even know what the venus group was.
Mrs. Fu was about to open her mouth when she suddenly caught a glimpse of the man leaning against the doorway, looking at them with a smirk.
She swallowed all the words behind her and smiled: “Yun Shen, you’re back, your grandfather is resting, would you like something to eat?”
Fu Yunshen didn’t say anything, nor did he look at Fu Mingcheng as he walked straight up the stairs.
Fu Mingcheng had just failed to get anything from Master Fu, and now that he had seen Fu Yunshen, the feeling of boredom in his heart was even heavier: “Don’t you even call out to Dad?”
Hearing these words, Fu Yunshen slowly stopped.
He turned his head sideways, his peach blossom eyes curved up, his light amber pupils were filled with a detached smile: “Are you my father, don’t you know it in your heart?”
Fu Mingcheng’s expression suddenly changed.
Mrs. Fu at the side was also fiercely stunned.
Before the two of them could come back to their senses, Fu Yunshen had already gone upstairs and did not care about them anymore.
It was a long time before Mrs. Fu retrieved her thoughts and opened her mouth, “Mingcheng, did he, did he know something?”
“Wouldn’t know.” Fu Mingcheng’s face was still sunken, “The old man would never tell him that kind of thing, he was only two years old at the time, what could he remember?”
“Just as well.” Mrs. Fu was stunned and added, “The old master is so protective of him, it’s true that he wouldn’t tell him about what happened twenty years ago, but how could he say that here?”
“It’s just an imbalance in his heart.” Fu Mingcheng was cold, “He hasn’t lived in the Fu family much since he was a child, and when he comes back, he just spends his time drinking and lazing around, so it’s useless, and he still wants us to be nice to him? You’re delusional.”
Mrs. Fu didn’t say anything this time.
“It’s not like there’s no way out.” Fu Mingcheng pressed his temples, “If the old man really gave him the Imperial Fragrance Place, I also have a way to get it back.”
A dude, who didn’t know anything about business, all he needed to do was set up a few traps and that was enough.
The Imperial Fragrance Place, sooner or later, would be his.

Upstairs.
Fu Yunshen gently turned the bedroom door and walked in.
The old man was really asleep at this time, his breathing was inaudible, but very steady.
Fu Yunshen was afraid of disturbing him, so he didn’t move Master Fu to the bed.
Instead, he picked up a blanket and covered him with it.
Afterwards, Fu Yunshen sat on the edge of the bed, he raised his hand and pressed Master Fu’s wrist without moving.
He did not know anything about medicine, but had only learnt a little bit about pulse diagnosis when he went to the ancient medical world.
Fu Yunshen tried it and did not find anything wrong.
He was also a little worried because he saw that Master Fu was very drowsy.
But this was indeed a common problem for many elderly people.
After Fu Yunshen tucked in the corner of the blanket for Elder Fu, he stood up and walked to the bookshelf as well.
“Grandma, don’t worry.” Fu Yunshen gently stroked the picture frame and smiled lowly, “I will avenge you all, and you must bless grandpa well.”
He didn’t ask for anything, he only asked that the people he cared about live peacefully and securely in this world.
That was enough.
**
And this time.
The Imperial Capital.
Things on the internet are always three minutes hot and the netizens’ memories are short-lived.
Coupled with Skybound Entertainment’s PR, it had already taken Xiu Yan out of that affair.
After all, on the bright side, Xiu Yan had done nothing.
She had always known to leave herself open, so naturally, she would not take matters of this minor nature into her own hands.
After Xiu Yan left the company, she returned to the Xiu family.
Mrs. Xiu was not playing mahjong today, but was sitting in the living room with a very formal appearance.
As soon as she saw her in this state, Xiu Yan realised something was wrong: “Mom?”
“Your grandfather is in the study upstairs.” Mrs. Xiu struggled to maintain the posture of a magnificent aristocrat, but deliberately did so instead, she looked a little out of place, “He has something to ask for you.”
Xiu Yan’s heart thudded.
Old Master Xiu had all but retired long ago.
But his health was not too sharp, so he had always lived in a suburban compound to recuperate, and had never come here much.
Why did he suddenly come over today?
No wonder even Madam Xiu had stopped playing mahjong, no one dared to make a fuss when Master Xiu was here.
Xiu Yan pursed her lips, suppressing her wildly beating heart, and walked up.
She knocked on the door of the study, “Grandpa.”
An old and hoarse voice came from inside: “Enter.”
Only then did Xiu Yan push the door in.
But as soon as she entered, an inkstone came crashing towards her.
Xiu Yan was startled and subconsciously dodged it, but the ink in the inkstone also splashed all over her.
It ruined her new high-fashion dress from her agency. But she didn’t dare to say a word.
Xiu Yan shivered and looked up with some disbelief, spitting out the words with great difficulty, “Master …… Master?”
“Xiu Yan, I only tell you, if you continue like this-” On the wheelchair, Master Xiu turned his head to look at her, his gaze sharp to the point of coldness, “whether you want to or not, I’m going to take Xiu Yu back. ”
Chapter 286
A single sentence, the tone was calm, but it made Xiu Yan’s scalp all chance to explode.
She only felt her limbs go cold to the point of numbness under Elder Xiu’s gaze.
“How long has it been since I took you mother and daughter back to the Xiu family?” Elder Xiu looked at her coldly, “It’s been four years, look at what you have done within those four years that is worthy of cultivating in the Xiu family?”
Xiu Yan didn’t speak, lowering her head.
“If you want to enter the entertainment industry, I’ll let you in, it’s not impossible to have some fun.” Master Xiu slowed down and then said, “Which of the other grand young ladies from the gentry would go into the entertainment industry? They all run their own entertainment companies.”
“It’s okay for you to enter the entertainment industry, just look at what people are saying about you on the internet lately?”
Elder Xiu fiercely gripped the handle of his wheelchair, his face grim: “You represent the Xiu family, this is discrediting the Xiu family.”
“Grandpa, I’m sorry.” Xiu Yan quickly admitted her mistake, “Those people are just mindlessly following the black, the entertainment industry is like that, but I did do something wrong, I will change.”
“I’m just warning you.” Master Xiu waved his hand, not wanting to talk to her much, “If you don’t have something worth cultivating for the Xiu family, it’s not like I don’t have other candidates.”
Who the other candidates were, it was self-evident.
Xiu Yan went out with a green face.
When Madam Xiu saw her coming down, she was busy pulling her back, “What did your grandfather say to you?”
“Nothing.” Xiu Yan was faint, “You should play less mahjong in the future.”
If Xiu Yu wanted to come back, he had to get past her first.
She wouldn’t let Xiu Yu come back at all.
**
Qingzhi High School.
After recuperating, Ying Ziji also returned to Cla*s 19.
“Ying Dad, Ying Dad!” Little Brother ran over excitedly, “Ying Dad, do you know how much I scored in Biology this time? 82!”
A full score of 90, 82 is really a high score.
Ying Zidian looked up and didn’t mince his words, “Not bad.”
Little brother happily ran off to show off to Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan kicked him away.
Xiu Yu slumped on the table, his essence not too good, sickly.
Ying Ziji fished a piece of candy out of her pocket and handed it to her: “Eat something sweet, you’ll be in a better mood.”
Xiu Yu turned her head, took it, tore open the candy paper and ate it.
After a long, long silence, Xiu Yu finally spoke up, “Xiu Yan, she and I have the same father.”
Ying Zidian’s hand paused as she twisted the cap of the bottle: “Half-brother?”
She had paid more attention when she heard Teng Yun Meng say that Xiu Yan was the Xiu family’s eldest daughter.
She hadn’t bothered to do the math, only that Xiu Yan was a member of the Xiu family.
“Well, my mother, is a famous lady from a big and powerful family.” Xiu Yu nodded, “Although it’s not at the level of the Mu family Nie family, it’s still in the second tier of the imperial capital’s gentry, and as for Xiu Yan-”
She shrugged, indifferent, “Her mother is a junior to the top.”
Ying didn’t say anything.
“Four years ago, my mother died of cancer, my father disappeared, life or death unknown, and no one has been found to date.” Xiu Yu murmured, “They then took Xiu Yan back because Xiu Yan’s mother also had a son, and my mother is all I have.”
Ying Ziji was still silent.
Some families, indeed, still favoured sons over daughters.
“There was something else, quite complicated, so I left the Xiu family.” Xiu Yu leaned back in his chair and looked at his hands, “I haven’t been back for four years, Father Ying, am I quite cowardly?”
“No.” Ying Ziji greeted dropping down and smiling lightly, “I haven’t experienced what you’ve been through, I don’t judge.”
“Father Ying, don’t worry.” Xiu Yu said seriously this time, “I don’t care, if she still bullies you, I’ll definitely go back.”
Ying Ziji yawned and raised his eyebrows slightly, “Then I can’t see that I’m quite charming.”
Xiu Yu: “……”
“No.” She was a bit puzzled, “Who did you learn that tone from?”
Why did you suddenly become provocative?
Ying was about to answer when her phone rang at that moment.
She glanced at it and then got up and went out of the cla*sroom door to answer the phone.
The call was from Master Zhong.
Ying Ziji leaned against the wall, her body relaxed: “Hello, Grandpa?”
“D**key.” Master Zhong’s voice was full of energy, “Grandpa was so happy to see you yesterday that he forgot an important matter.”
Ying Zidian averted his eyes and turned sideways, “You speak, I’ll listen.”
“Old man Fu no no no, just your grandfather Fu, I’ve seen that he’s been particularly sleepy lately and wondered if something was wrong with his health again.” Master Zhong said, “Don’t you know some Chinese medicine or something? Why don’t you take a look at him?”
The fact that Ying Zidian knew how to do medicine was something that Master Zhong had seen from the tea bags and incense pouches she had given him.
He didn’t know that Ying Zidian was the same miracle doctor who was well known in Shanghai and the imperial capital as well as several surrounding big cities.
It was not that Elder Zhong was unaware of those matters in the Fu family.
He knew that Fu Mingcheng, as well as a few of his other siblings, were all looking forward to Old Master Fu leaving.
“Mm, good.” Ying looked at his schedule, “I’ll be fine this evening, so you can invite Grandpa Fu to the Zhong family and I’ll go check it out.”
“Hey, good.” Elder Zhong responded, “Grandpa has the maids go and prepare the dishes you love for you.”
After ending the call, Ying returned to the cla*s.
Xiu Yu had recovered her energy and she whistled, “Daddy Ying, are you going to the Tianma race track in the evening? I’ll take you racing, I’m a good driver.”
“I’m not available today.” Ying Zidian took out his mobile phone, “I’ll make a deal with my foreigner first.”
“That’s fine.” Xiu Yu was also painful, “Another day is fine.”
She leaned over and saw the girl open isc’s answer app and start doing the questions.
A speed of ten seconds a piece.
Xiu Yu was not even finished reading the questions, Ying Ziji had already turned the page to do the next one.
Xiu Yu: “???”
What kind of speed is this? Is she blind?
Until she saw the ranking in the top left corner of the screen, and the user id name.
Xiu Yu was choked up: “D*mn!”
Dare I say that the number one ranking on the overall list that was a global sensation at that time was their Ying Dad?
Xiu Yu remembered that these days there were still a bunch of people on the internet saying that the number one was no longer available, and there was no movement for so many days.
She had thought the same thing at first.
Not now.
After all, their Ying Dad was the kind of person who wanted to get up and do some questions, and would sleep more often.
Xiu Yu thought about it, took out a set of mock papers and started doing the questions as well.
isc she was following the trend to attend and practice, it was indeed more important for the college entrance exam.
“Sister Yu, what are you doing?” Little brother was curious and after coming over to take a look, he also crouched, “Sister Yu, you’ve really started studying, did I see it right?”
It wasn’t that they didn’t see that although both Jiang Yan and Xiu Yu didn’t study, the two were different.
Jiang Yan was disdainful of learning, but had now started to learn.
Xiu Yu was very much refusing to learn, not just learning, but many things she refused.
“None of your business.” Xiu Yu was vicious, “Do you believe I’ll do better than you on the midterm?”
“Ah, this.” Little brother scratched his head and spoke weakly, “I don’t want to believe it, but I don’t believe it Sister Yu you must beat me up, so I’d better believe it.”
“……”

Senior Talent cla*s.
It was now a study session and the students were doing their model exam papers.
“Holy sh*t, this big guy is here again!” At this point the study committee member suddenly shouted excitedly, “He hasn’t moved for the past ten days, but when he did, he ended up being instantly first again!”
“What what?” The student next to him padded over and saw the latest ranking of the isc selection.
no.1: username hidden, China, 2486 points
no.2: Amanda, m country, 2378 points
It was still a gap of over a hundred points.
But they all knew that the current number one in the overall ranking had not answered any questions for half a month.
Yesterday Amanda was number one, and today it’s changed hands again.
“I’m so curious who this big guy is.” The study committee member was still excited, “I just clicked in to see the length of his answer, this time he answered for a total of four hours, that’s too scary.”
Four hours, better than ten days for others.
“I don’t know.” Another boy said, “It’s not just Weibo, the outside world is picking up who this guy is, but nothing has come up so far.”
Everyone didn’t think about the players who had gone straight to the international tournament.
Because these players don’t have the energy to do that, it’s already time consuming to attend training, so why would they come back for the auditions?
What’s more, they’ve already got a place in the international competition, so what’s the point of going to the trials?
“I guess, it must be a hidden god.” The study committee member was mysterious, “He hasn’t shown much, otherwise, with this performance, he would definitely have gotten a place in the direct international competition.”
“Xiao Xuan, it can’t be you, can it?” The girl at the same table suddenly said, “I accidentally peeked at your answer screen just now, you’ve hidden your username.”
Ying Yuexuan’s hand pressing on the screen paused and raised her head.
