Chapter 267 NEET

Fu Yu Shen was stunned but had no choice gulp down his porridge in a hurry, last night he was the one who agreed with Song Yan's terms and became her assistant, even if he wanted to ignore her orders he couldn't do it. So, with a swish he finished his breakfast, shoved an extra boiled egg in his mouth and rushed to his precious backpack from which he took out a big wooden cross, his actions were so swift that both Song Lingyan and Wen Mingzhi were left dumbfounded. Him finishing the breakfast in a hurry was something that could still be understood but what was the meaning of that big cross?

But then the two of them saw something even more fascinating, they watched  Fu Yu Shen taking out a bottle and sprinkling some water on his head before he wrenched out a string of rosary beads and tied them around his wrist and even sat down to mutter a quick prayer only then did he stood up and smiled at Song Yan who was walking out of her bedroom dressed in all black.

" Yan Yan, are you going out for a shoot?" asked Song Lingyan when he saw that Song Yan was dressed in a long black overcoat, with a matching turtle neck shirt and pants. Even her makeup was a lot bolder than before, what happened to his sister in just a few days? Though she looked a bit different from before now she looked like some badass boss lady.

" Something along the lines," she wasn't going out for a shoot but she was indeed heading out of the house for work, so technically she wasn't lying, she then turned to look at Fu Chen who finally finished eating his breakfast and said, " Chen Chen come here."

Fu Chen heard his mother call and immediately came down the chair before rushing off towards his mother before coming to a stop as he asked, " What's wrong mommy?"

" Go and get your favourite book, mom has to go somewhere, your uncle and aunt also have something to do today, I can't leave you alone at home that is why I will bring you to someone who will take good care of you," Song Yan already handed out the ultimatum to Fu Yu Sheng last night, if he could take care of their son then he could stay, if he couldn't think his priority straight then there was no point in haggling with him all the time.

It was true that she and Fu Yu Sheng were compatible on the basis of Yin and Yang but that was all they had—— if it was the matter of only her being wronged all these years then she wouldn't have troubled herself over the fact whether she should let Fu Yu Sheng in her life or not, the two can always live in harmony and respect like their eldest brother and sister in law but things were different between them since they had a child together.

She didn't want Fu Chen to be troubled because of their strife and struggles, if Fu Yu Sheng could earn the forgiveness of his son and act like a father then she will think about letting him in her life.

Fu Chen of course understood that the 'someone' was none other than his father. He sighed, he really didn't want to spend his precious time with his father but he knew that if his mother was asking him to follow her to his father's apartment then there must be some reason behind it, he didn't say anything in response and simply went ahead and picked the books  that he was currently reading placed them all in his backpack and then hitched it over his shoulders and said with a slightly unhappy expression, "Let's go, I am prepared."

While he said those words there was an air of great sacrifice shrouding his body, Fu Yu Shen saw this and his lips twitched, he was now quite sure that the Fu family owes some major debts to this pair of mother and son pair look at them, one acted disdainfully towards him and the other acts disdainful towards his own biological father.

" Very well, say goodbye to your aunt and uncle," said Song Yan as she patted Fu Chen's fluffy head.

Fu Chen let his mother pat him before he rushed off to his uncle and aunt, now that he has stayed with the Song family for quite some time, he was much closer to them than he was with Fu Yu Shen or Fu Rong.

Seeing that the little guy was not only hugging but also kissing his Uncle Lingyan, Fu Yu Shen felt uncomfortable all over as he turned to look at Song Yan and asked, " Why is it that he never acted like that towards me?"

Song Yan looked at him like he was some sort of an idiot as she said, " Are you out of your mind? You bullied him until he cried and you still hope that he will call you uncle while hugging and kissing you?"

Fu Yu Shen didn't say anything, however, he was indeed upset with Fu Chen being so close to Song Lingyan. Of course, he knew he was the one to blame but seeing his nephew being so close to his maternal uncle made Fu Yu Shen feel as if someone stole their family's cute treasure.

Fu Chen finished saying goodbye to his aunt and uncle very quickly, he walked toward his mother and came to a stop next to Song Yan when he sensed that someone was looking at him. He raised his head and caught Fu Yu Shen looking at him like he was some fancy treat and shivered before harrumphing, " What are you looking at bad man?"

Fu Yu Shen: "…." Maybe his eyes went bad, how can he think of this guy as someone cute?

Song Yan glanced at Fu Yu Shen and then ignored the altercation that started to take place behind her as she headed out of the apartment followed by Fu Yu Shen and Fu Chen.

-------------

Song Yan took Fu Chen to Fu Yu Sheng's apartment and knocked on the door, because it was still early she didn't ring the bell not wanting to disturb the neighbours. The door opened at the third knock and a very tired Fu Yu Sheng stepped out of the apartment, there were dark circles under his eyes, his complexion was fairly pale and he was still dressed in yesterday night's clothes most probably while he was making arrangements for Fu Chen's security team, he lost track of time and ended up staying up for the entire night.

" You are here?" He asked with a yawn rubbing his temples as he looked at Song Yan and Fu Chen.

Fu Chen shot a disgruntled look at his father and said, " Since when did you become a NEET?"

Hearing his son's words Fu Yu Sheng's yawn paused in between as he choked on air before looking down at his son. " I am not a NEET."

" Its eight in the morning, we have finished eating breakfast, done showering and my mom is on the way to work, while you are still dressed in pyjamas, sporting dark circles and yawning without taking a bath, if you are not a NEET then why are you at home at this time?"

He was at home because he was busy making a special team of bodyguards for his son who was soon going to return to school but look at this unfilial son calling his dad a NEET and whatnot for whom exactly did he work so hard for last night?

" Are you here to drop him?" Fu Yu Sheng knew that there was no point in getting into an argument with Fu Chen, his son was as stubborn and angry with him as his mother was, so him trying to engage in another battle of wits with his son would only show him as a bully.

" Yes,  I have something do to, so make sure that you take care proper care of Chen Chen," said Song Yang as she took in Fu Yu Sheng's appearance and then turned around to leave. Fu Yu Shen shot his brother a slightly sympathetic glance before turning around and leaving after Song Yan,  he could see that even though his brother was treated as a walking door mat and a nanny, the latter didn't say anything.

If the husband didn't say anything then as a brother-in-law what could he say other than keep his mouth shut?

Fu Yu Sheng saw his wife walking away without even saying a single word extra to him and then looked down at his son who was looking at him with a sullen look.

" Come in," there was no point in asking Fu Chen to improve his expression towards him if anything the guy would only retort him until he had nothing to say anymore.  After all, this was his penance and even if he felt like he was being treated unfairly there was nothing he could do about it.

" I want ice cream," announced Fu Chen as he threw his bag on the couch and turned to look at his father with an expression that said —— ' You are in for a ride, old man.'
