Chapter 1115 Protection from Elders
Liang Cheng laughed, "Grandpa Fu, what you said is just like my grandpa's. He told me this every time he called. Economic reform is not just about attracting investment; all aspects need to keep up. Otherwise, even if we attract investment, we may not be able to retain it."
Grandpa Fu nodded, "Since your grandfather is teaching you, I won't say any more."
Liang Cheng smiled and said, "Grandpa Fu, please don't say that. You've watched me grow up, so please feel free to point out any mistakes I've made."
Old Master Fu hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the women and said hesitantly, "If I've overthought things by coming here today, just pretend I didn't say anything. If I haven't, then think carefully about what I'm about to say. There's an old saying in China: 'How can one govern the world if one can't even sweep one's own room? Cultivating oneself, regulating one's family, governing the state, and bringing peace to the world' is especially important for officials, who are held to very high standards. Therefore, they are very careful in choosing their partners."
"Think things through before you act. Don't take advantage of or deceive the other party for short-term gain. Even if it doesn't have an impact now, it will backfire later. Liang Cheng, you're a smart kid, you should understand what I mean."
Liang Cheng stood up and bowed to Grandpa Fu. "Grandpa Fu, thank you. I've remembered it and will definitely be careful."
Grandpa Fu didn't mention Linghua's name explicitly, and neither did Liang Cheng. This maintained appearances and at least prevented him from harming Linghua in a moment of impulsiveness.
Grandpa Fu nodded, "Okay, I understand."
The word "decency" is easy to say, but difficult to do in practice.
All the Fu family wanted was a decent living.
If you want to pursue Linghua, then pursue her sincerely. If you're not sincere, stay away as soon as possible. If this causes trouble, the Fu family will definitely side with Linghua.
Because she was Liu Meilan's cousin, they couldn't possibly side with outsiders for Liu Meilan's sake.
After chatting for about half an hour, Liang Cheng took his leave.
Liang Cheng left under the watchful eyes of the Fu family.
Fu Weiguo whispered, "Linghua..."
"Don't mention it yet," Old Master Fu said in a deep voice. "We just need to make the Fu family's stance clear. As for the specifics, Meilan is so smart, we can see it, and so can she, and she can handle it properly. If she really needs help, Meilan will ask us for help."
Especially when it comes to matters of the heart, outsiders shouldn't interfere, and others think the same way.
At 9:30, everyone gradually went home.
Linghua was asked by Liu Meilan to stay in the Fu family's guest room, and planned to go to CCTV after breakfast the next day.
Sure enough, Liu Meilan didn't tell her cousin about the suitor. She believed that matters of the heart should be felt, not preached by others.
Linghua was very tired and sleepy during the rehearsal. After washing up here, she went to sleep.
On the contrary, Liu Meilan and Fu Chen slept too much in the afternoon and are not sleepy now.
Liu Meilan took a pen and paper, sat down at her desk, and wrote down the names of Xu Feng and Liang Cheng on the paper.
She compared the two names in terms of family, work, personality, and other aspects.
Fu Chen walked up behind Liu Meilan and gently hugged her. "She's just your cousin now, and you're already so worried. If our daughter Yingying grows up, you'll be worrying about her all the time!"
Liu Meilan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then put down her pen and said in a rather serious tone, "It is said that men fear choosing the wrong career and women fear marrying the wrong man. Although women in the new society have a higher tolerance for mistakes than before, if you marry an unreliable man, at best you will be heartbroken and physically harmed, and at worst you may even lose your life!"
“Linghua is my aunt and uncle’s only daughter. She’s been with me since she was sixteen or seventeen, and she’s no different from my own sister! If I see any harm in the things she does, I have to tell her. If she doesn’t listen, that’s her own business. I’ve just fulfilled my responsibility as her older sister!”
“Yes, that’s how Linghua is, and it’s the same with my daughter! Leading by example is essential. Some children can take the essence from our words and discard the dross, making the right choices; others are arrogant and think that the experience of their elders is outdated, so they deny it completely and blindly pursue the influence of some new-era ideas.”
"Then I can only say that this person is really stupid. They don't realize the underlying logic of how society works and the essence of human nature. The forms that these things take may change again and again, but their essence never changes. That's why some people fail."
Fu Chen gently kissed Liu Meilan's cheek. "There's a huge difference between people. Some people understand immediately, while others can't understand even if you point them out with your finger. Some things require guidance from elders, but even more so, they require personal experience. You can't teach someone everything, but you'll understand something after just one lesson. That's why there's the saying 'a fall into a pit, a gain in your wit.' So you don't need to worry too much now. It's late..."
After saying this, Fu Chen carried Liu Meilan to the bedside, removed each other's clothes, and kissed and caressed each other's bodies passionately, bringing waves of pleasurable shivers.
Everything else was forgotten; at this moment, it seemed as if only the two of them existed in the world, possessing each other and feeling each other.
Tonight is destined to change a lot.
When Liang Cheng got home, he parked his car and then tiptoed into the house.
He thought everyone in the family was resting, but when he went in, his grandparents were still awake.
Liang Cheng was taken aback, glanced at his watch, and realized it was getting late. "Grandpa and Grandma, why aren't you asleep yet?"
When Grandpa Liang saw his grandson come in, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. "Xiao Cheng, why didn't you go home first? Why did you go straight to the Fu family?"
Madam Liang smiled and asked, "Xiao Cheng, who was that girl who got off the bus with you just now?"
Liang Cheng asked in surprise, "Grandpa and Grandma, how did you both know?"
"Xiao Zhao just saw your car. When he saw you didn't go home, he went straight to the Fu family's house," Grandpa Liang replied. "I was planning to wait for you to have dinner, but you didn't come back, and you didn't answer your phone either."
Liang Cheng took out his phone; it was out of battery.
"Grandpa, I was delivering some things to the Fu family for a friend. It happened to be lunchtime, so I ate there," Liang Cheng said with a smile.
"Don't give me that nonsense." Old Master Liang rolled his eyes and scolded him irritably, "If we lived far from the Fu family, it wouldn't be surprising if you ate there. But the two families are only a few dozen meters apart. You're not going home for dinner and instead staying at the Fu family's house. Something must be going on. If you don't tell me, do you expect me to go and ask Old Fu directly?"
Madam Liang quickly reminded her grandson, "Xiao Cheng, you know your grandfather's quick temper. If you don't make things clear to him tonight, he won't be able to sleep, and he'll run to the Fu family to ask questions before dawn tomorrow."
Liang Cheng shook his head and chuckled. He had originally wanted to wait and see, but things were still far from settled. First, the Fu family kindly reminded him, and now his grandparents were pressing him for answers.
The Fu family is alright, since it hasn't been explicitly stated, but Grandpa and Grandma are much less reserved and will definitely keep asking until they get to the bottom of it.
