While the Seven Sisters were passionately discussing in their group chat, reaching a consensus on how to "educate" their useless younger brother, Fu Zicong was on his way to the Fu Family Manor.
The manor was located in the suburbs of the Imperial Capital, a scenic area with mountains and water.
Speaking of the Fu Family Manor, it was actually a complex incorporating a Siheyuan, a Suzhou Garden, a European Castle, and modern villas.
This was the home of all the Fu family members.
Madam Fu, Fu Yuheng and his wife, as well as the Fu Family's Seven Daughters, all resided in this Fu Family Manor.
Only Fu Zicong seemed a bit out of place.
He felt it was too restrictive to live with the elders.
Living under their watchful eyes all day wasn't conducive to his "free and unrestrained" lifestyle, nor could he indulge in a life of luxury and bring various women home. Therefore, he had left the Fu Family Manor long ago and moved into a luxurious villa he had purchased.
Normally, Fu Zicong wouldn't return to the Fu Family Manor.
Even if he did come occasionally, it was always because his father, Fu Yuheng, the richest man, summoned him. Otherwise, he'd never voluntarily walk into the… uh, he wouldn't voluntarily return to the Fu Family Manor.
Today, however, he was surprisingly eager to come back. It was a first.
So, when a servant announced that Fu Zicong had actually returned and was at the front gate of the Fu Family Manor, Butler He, the old butler of the Fu Family Manor, was genuinely surprised.
"What? The young master is back?"
Quick! Go out and greet him!
Butler He hurried, finally arriving at the Suzhou Garden villa where the master and madam lived, just as Fu Zicong was striding towards him.
"Young Master, why are you back at this time?"
Seeing him, Butler He hurried forward and asked respectfully.
He didn't recall the master, madam, or even Madam Fu calling for the young master to return.
The Seven Sisters… they were even less likely.
So, why did this playboy, the young master, suddenly return to the Fu Family Manor?
The key was, he didn't seem like a son who cared for his elders.
Coming home to visit and be a filial son…
That was even less possible!
"What, can't I come back?"
Fu Zicong immediately raised an eyebrow in displeasure.
"Old He, you need to understand one thing—this is my home. I am the only male heir of the Fu Family. Ultimately, this home, including this manor, will be inherited by me, Fu Zicong. Don't get confused and follow the wrong master!"
Glancing sideways at Butler He, Fu Zicong sneered disdainfully.
In his eyes, Butler He had always been on the side of his sisters, especially his eldest sister, who he followed closely.
He lacked respect and the necessary loyalty towards him, the only young master of the Fu Family.
Put simply, they didn't take him, the sole future heir, seriously at all.
This made Fu Zicong very unhappy.
Therefore, he often sneered and subtly warned Butler He, finding fault with everything.
"By the way, where's my father? Is he home?"
After mocking Butler He, Fu Zicong didn't forget to ask.
Between the lines, it was hard to hide his eagerness and urgency.
After all, he had come uninvited today, agreeing to set foot in the Fu Family Manor, a place he'd never voluntarily return to, just to find his billionaire father and seek help.
Cough, to be exact, it was to empty his old man—Fu Yuheng's wallet.
He wouldn't come back to the Fu Family Manor for anything else.
So many rules and restrictions – not democratic at all.
Tsk, so boring!
"Yes, young master, the master is indeed at home. He should be talking with the madam right now."
Butler He didn't seem bothered by Fu Zicong's scolding or being called "Old He" so rudely. He just nodded and said respectfully.
What he didn't say was that Fu Yuheng had also just returned, arriving almost at the same time as Fu Zicong.
Actually, among the younger generation of the entire Fu Family, no one was this rude to Butler He, except for Fu Zicong.
Even the always cold and aloof eldest miss – Fu Zici – always respectfully addressed him as Butler He.
After all, besides being the butler, he was also Fu Yuheng's childhood friend, and was a few years older than Fu Yuheng. They had grown up together.
Even Fu Yuheng and his wife always respected Butler He and treated him with courtesy.
However, Butler He wasn't really annoyed by Fu Zicong's rudeness. He just couldn't help but shake his head and sigh inwardly:
This young master! Still so impatient and useless! How could someone as outstanding as the master have such a… thing?
Is this the saying about even good bamboo shoots sometimes producing bad bamboo? Fortunately, the master didn't only have Fu Zicong, this good-for-nothing child. Besides him, there were also the Seven Sisters, each one of them peerlessly beautiful and outstanding.
In the future, it would be excellent to hand over the Fu Family's assets to these Seven Sisters to manage.
Fu Zicong, this prodigal thing, was truly unreliable!
Sigh.
"Okay, got it."
Fu Zicong was, of course, unaware of Butler He's thoughts. If he had been, he would have jumped up and down in protest.
Hearing the butler, Butler He's words, he simply responded faintly, tilted his head, and arrogantly waved at Butler He. Then, he strode quickly into the Suzhou Garden villa where Fu Yuheng and his wife lived.
"Dad, I need to talk to you. You…"
As soon as he entered the main living room of the villa, Fu Zicong saw his richest father sitting there, holding his phone, and fiddling with something with his mother, Luo Huiying. He immediately spoke in a hurried voice.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, and before he could finish what he wanted to say, he was met with a glare from his richest father, who cut him off directly: "What's with all the 'you, you, you'? No manners! When addressing your old man, you should at least use the respectful form, 'you'."
Fu Yuheng glared at his hapless son, annoyed.
Hearing this, Madam Fu, Luo Huiying, also nodded repeatedly, also glaring at Fu Zicong, who was standing at the door:
"Exactly! Zicong, your father is right. What kind of family are we? How could we have a child like you, who has no manners and doesn't know his place? How have your father and I educated you all this time? Could it be that all the good education has been thrown to the dogs? You're really getting more and more unruly!"
Luo Huiying frowned, looking at her troublesome son who had suddenly appeared at the doorstep. The more she looked at Fu Zicong, the more she felt annoyed.
Her seven daughters were all very good.
They had also been well-educated by her and her husband.
Now, they were all polite, sensible, and outstanding.
Yet, this son…
Why was he so unpromising? Like her husband—Fu Yuheng, a tiger father, he had a useless son like Fu Zicong.
Was this a genetic mutation, or what? No matter how she looked at it, she felt that Fu Zicong didn't resemble a child of their Fu Family.
