Chapter 188 Scarred
"What are you doing?" Fu Chen saw his father's strange expression and immediately turned his head to look at the closed door. He whispered, "Do you know how suspicious this looks? What if someone comes in?"
Fu Yusheng paused as he unbuttoned his shirt, glanced at his son, and said calmly, "Chen Chen, are you a little too smart?"
"My great grandfather sent me to many classes, one of which was a self-defense class, and I learned a lot from it." Fu Chen was quite proud of himself. Why not? Although he pretended not to care about his father's words and deeds, he was still a child who liked to hear his father's praise. So when Fu Yusheng praised him for being "smart", Fu Chen's little chest puffed up, and he immediately looked at his father with pride. "My great grandfather said that when you were my age, I was smarter than you."
“He’s right.” Fu Yusheng said, unlike Fu Chen who was pushed to the position of heir to the Fu family from the beginning, he was isolated until his brother stepped down and determined that he was no longer the heir to the Fu family. Not suitable for this position. Grandpa didn’t want this to happen, so he wanted Fu Chen to know where he was from the moment he woke up, and know what was right and what was wrong.
Therefore, compared to those who played with other brothers and sisters, Fu Chen was much more capable because he knew his responsibilities as an heir from the beginning.
"You don't have to worry anyway." Fu Yusheng said, and then unbuttoned the rest of the buttons. "We look alike, so even if someone comes in, they will immediately know our relationship, okay?"
Fu Chen nodded, but still muttered to himself. "But it's still weird."
"You're the one who asked me the question and didn't let me back off." Fu Yusheng crouched down and lifted up one end of his shirt, revealing an ugly scar above his chest. "Do you see this? I received it many years ago when I lived abroad, and I almost didn't live to see this kind of damage, but somehow I did it. Many years ago, I didn't have enough power to protect you or your mother, and if I came back, you two would be in danger."
He raised his hand, rubbed Fu Chen's little head, and said with a wry smile: "There are many dangers behind me. If I return to you, those dangers will also be brought with me. You know how your grandparents died, right?"
Fu Chen stared at his father, his eyes wandering between his father's face and the gunshot wound. He nodded slowly and replied, "They were attacked by the enemies of the Fu family and lost their lives. My great-grandfather said that this family was part of one of the four major families in Country X. They were afraid that their status would be excluded, so they killed my grandparents."
"Yeah." Fu Yusheng smiled as usual, but Fu Chen could feel the sadness seeping from his father. "The reason why your uncle abdicated was because he didn't dare to take on the future. He was a coward from the beginning, hiding in those scientific books and chemicals, saying that he was interested in them. Maybe he was, but I know that he was not only interested in them, he was more like a scared cat, unwilling to face reality, unwilling to take on his responsibilities, and after our parents died - his fear became worse, and then he walked out of the house, leaving only a mess."
Fu Yusheng paused, pointed to the scar on his torso and said, "I have had to take on responsibilities that I was not prepared for... This scar is from when I entered the Y country airport. This gunshot wound occurred when I was about to make a breakthrough in a deal that was of great significance to our company."
"Do you want to know why I didn't come back? It's because I was worried that you and your mother would be involved. If I come back or take you two with me, can you, Chen Chen, still survive? What if something happens to your mother and me?" Fu Yusheng asked. The reason why he was able to get through those difficulties was because he had his brothers and sisters around him. No matter how stupid they were, they were still a family.
But Fu Chen couldn't say that.
He is the only son of him and Song Yan, so he is more lonely than before, that was when Song Yan was with him, but if something happened to Song Yan, what would happen? Can Fu Chen pull through without breaking down?
Fu Chen also knew that he would not survive, and quickly shook his head.
"Yeah." Fu Yusheng stood up and rebuttoned his shirt. "I know how much your mother means to you, and I know that even if something happens to me, you two will survive. That's why I kept you two away from me, because I don't want you to go through what I went through." If you want to blame me, you can do so, but I don't regret what I did.
