Mrs. Fu, please be mindful of the appropriate boundaries.

"If you don't want to talk about it, then don't." Song Chang unconditionally supported her.

"However, I must remind you, Fu Jingting may be back, but you two are divorced, it doesn't matter anymore. So don't try to win him over."

Xu Qingcheng was determined to give birth to the child, to give birth to the child of a man she thought was dead. Putting aside the anxiety during the prenatal check-ups, the birthing process itself was terrifying. After giving birth, she also suffered from mild postpartum depression, which was incredibly torturous.

Song Chang asked her, "Do you regret it?"

Xu Qingcheng, ignoring the question, hugged Xu Yuan and asked her, "Changchang, does she look like her father?"

When Xu Yuan was born, she was tiny and wrinkled, a very ugly little thing. But a few months later, it became obvious that she was Xu Qingcheng's child. Her eyebrows and eyes were exactly the same as Xu Qingcheng's, like a copy and paste. I wonder how charming she will be when she grows up.

Song Chang couldn't see any resemblance to Fu Jingting.

But Xu Qingcheng said it looked like her, and hugged and kissed Xu Yuan repeatedly.

If it weren't for love, why go to such lengths?

Song Chang had witnessed Xu Qingcheng's journey, so she naturally sided with her. No matter how much pain and hatred Fu Jingting harbored, Xu Qingcheng was also suffering.

But it is precisely because I know she loves that I am afraid she will get hurt again.

Xu Qingcheng didn't reply for a long time, so Song Chang frowned. "Did you hear what I said?"

"I heard you." Xu Qingcheng lowered her eyes. "Changchang, since you feel there's no future with Song Xingzhi, why cling to him?"

In short, Song Chang knew her attitude. Anyway, when it comes to matters of the heart, only the person experiencing it knows the truth, and no one can persuade anyone else.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Qingcheng couldn't help but think of Tang Kejia. After Fu Jingting's accident, she also quickly got married. It was a family marriage, which was considered a good match.

Not long after their marriage, a domestic violence scandal broke out, causing a huge uproar. Various feminist influencers criticized her husband, causing an indelible impact on the Ling family.

Tang Kejia could have extricated herself from this incident, but for reasons unknown, she personally came forward to deny it, saying it wasn't domestic violence. The photos only showed parts that looked shocking, but it wasn't that serious; they were just photos taken during an intimate moment.

In short, she did everything she could to protect the Ling family and her husband, and later even showed off their affection a few times, but even her exquisite makeup couldn't hide her fatigue.

Because of this farce, the couple probably thought it was over, but netizens dug up their private lives and found them to be more and more exciting than the last.

Inevitably, this brought up Tang Kejia's past with Fu Jingting, to which Fu Jingting made no public statement at the time.

At that time, Xu Yuan was already six months old. She was breastfeeding when she saw the news. While she was staring blankly at the news, little Xu Yuan, who was obediently sucking on the breast, bit her so hard that her scalp tingled. She reached out and slapped her bottom.

Women have zero tolerance for infidelity. No matter when, even if she has given birth to his child, even if he is gone, she will still feel disgusted when she thinks about it.

The Fu family's attitude towards outside gossip has always been to let go of what is unimportant, and to suppress and remove what is important, without making a fuss.

At that time, Fu Pinxiu had already married Tang Tang. Fu Pinxiu was in control of the Fu Group, and the Tang family in Jincheng was an important partner of the Fu family. They could completely ignore them, since Fu Jingting was no longer alive.

All the romance and tales of war vanish with the passing of a person.

However, Chung Wan-hsiu later came forward to clarify, her words sharp and intense, and she seriously warned all media outlets and individuals that if they continued to make a fuss about her youngest son, she would collect evidence and call the police to punish them under the law.

"Jingting doesn't clarify because he believes the truth will prevail, and that private matters shouldn't occupy public resources. The matter is over, and I won't say anything more. However, I can't tolerate malicious manipulation, and I can't allow anyone to bring him up again at this time. Some media outlets have published their so-called private meeting photos out of context, causing great negative impact on the Fu family. I hope all information can be deleted and the incident clarified. Otherwise, we will directly collect evidence and take legal action."

Furthermore, I solemnly clarify today that Ms. Tang Kejia and Fu Jingting have absolutely no connection whatsoever with our Fu family. The so-called marriage agreement is utter nonsense. Even if there were any thoughts of a marriage alliance, since neither family agreed, it remained just an idea. The Fu family doesn't accept just anyone as a daughter-in-law. While the Fu family may not have severe class prejudices, character is paramount.

These words were practically a direct accusation against Tang Kejia, implying that she, an illegitimate child, was unworthy of marrying into the Fu family.

In a brief video interview, Chung Wan-hsiu's eyes were red. Although she tried to remain calm while speaking, it was still clear that she was angry, so angry that she was trembling.

Xu Qingcheng didn't actually feel that Fu Jingting was innocent just because of Zhong Wanxiu. The main issue was that the black women's underwear in his bag was like a needle pricking her heart; the thought of it caused her pain and nausea. However, she could understand why Zhong Wanxiu would say those things.

How can a mother allow her child to be pointed at and talked about like that?

She kissed Xu Yuan's left ear, and if anyone bullied Xu Yuan, she would definitely not let them.

Later, under pressure from the Fu family, many media outlets took the initiative to clarify and apologize, and one media outlet even released the full version of the hotel video.

Same time, same hotel, different locations.

Fu Jingting was talking to Tang Kaiji.

Tang Kejia took his room card to change his clothes, and came out as soon as he finished changing. The time was recorded clearly, no more than 10 minutes. During this time, Fu Jingting was talking to Tang Kaiji.

Perhaps because the Tang family of Jincheng still needed the support of the Fu family in the Jincheng project, Tang Kaiji also publicly stated that the so-called rumors were just nonsense, and that they were discussing business issues at that time.

That concludes the matter.

As Xu Qingcheng stared at the man in the video, tears streamed down her face. She buried her face in Xu Yuan's chest, her longing ever-present.

The video doesn't show a frontal view, only a side profile, with sharp, cold lines.

All she could hear was him calling her Mrs. Fu in a rather informal way.

Little Xu Yuan didn't understand anything, she just waved her little hands, and her little fists would occasionally hit Xu Qingcheng's face, as if she was coaxing her.

Xu Qingcheng suddenly felt very fortunate that she had kept the wish; it made her heart feel less empty. This little, soft thing brought her joy and hope.

……

Xu Qingcheng met with General Manager Cheng of Zhuochuang Information through a friend's introduction, wanting to discuss whether they could jointly acquire several sections of Shengshi.

Fu Jingting was determined to take it all, but Xu Qingcheng felt she couldn't win against him and didn't want to.

So it's better to settle for second best. Although my father's health is failing and he can't speak clearly, his mind is still quite clear. He mentioned that Shengshi had an incubator section before. It was immature at the time and the concept was ahead of its time, but it's appropriate now.

Qingyao applied to universities that offered him majors in computer science and mathematics, as he was very interested in these kinds of intelligent systems.

So the two of them discussed it and set a goal.

That's why we decided to discuss with Mr. Cheng of Zhuochuang Information that Zhuochuang would hold 49% of the shares and the Xu family would hold 51%, and then we would take it all together.

Mr. Cheng was very interested, but he felt that his own 49% stake was too large an investment and suggested that Xu Qingcheng consider another investment company.

"Does President Cheng have any recommendations? I don't know much about investment banks, and I'm afraid that bringing in an investment company rashly might become a hindrance to the company's development." Having learned from her previous experience, Xu Qingcheng was still cautious.

"Ms. Xu has thought things through very thoroughly. Here's the thing: FUC is going to hold a meeting, and many investment bankers will be involved. This is a good opportunity to talk."

"FUC?"

The company headed by Fu Jingting.
