After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 415: Choose One: Madman or Fool

"Cousin, I haven't seen you in so long! Why haven't you come to see me?"

Anyone who saw Wu Qicang's current state compared to his previous state would think they were two completely different people.

He completely abandoned his previous feigned aloofness and went forward to take Fu Sizhou's arm, using every trick in the book to be charming and coquettish as he spoke.

Lu Mingye: ...

He suddenly realized that being brothers with Lu Wangshen and Lu Wangqian wasn't so bad after all, really.

He would rather Lu Wangqian come and kill him than see this scene.

Fu Sizhou certainly noticed Lu Mingye's expression, which resembled that of an elderly person using a cell phone on the subway. He brushed Wu Qicang's hand away and said, "How old are you? Can you... stand up straight and talk to me?"

It was one thing for Wu Qicang to act coquettishly, but she also clung to his arm like she had no bones...

He really felt that Fu Shaojing didn't need to give him any face back then. If only Fu Shaojing had accepted Wu Qicang as his concubine.

Everyone gets what they need, right? He doesn't have to face this situation today.

Ah, thinking back to how Fu Shaojing mockingly said to him, "If it weren't for the fact that he's really your cousin, I would have ruined him long ago, given how worthless he is..."

Fu Sizhou really wanted to sabotage something.

Actually, Wu Qicang didn't intend to seduce anyone. He was just like that, always putting on a naive and innocent young master act.

To put it another way, perhaps it could be called a "natural hooker," but... even if Wu Qicang is related to Fu Sizhou, that's not a reason for him to use that to get close to Fu Shaojing.

To say that Fu Shaojing is morally upright is certainly not an exaggeration.

Fu Shaojing simply thought that not sleeping with Wu Qicang and using that to humiliate Fu Sizhou was more fun than sleeping with Wu Qicang.

As Fu Shaojing had predicted, Wu Qicang had no idea why he had escaped unscathed, and instead went around showing off, claiming that he was "someone who was treated specially."

Perhaps in his eyes, he was a level above those playthings.

It's really just a different way of playing...

Moreover, back then, Fu Sizhou was nothing, so Fu Shaojing had no reason to give him face.

Therefore, upon seeing Wu Qicang, Fu Sizhou inevitably recalled these unpleasant past events.

He was already in a bad mood, and now he had to watch a man nearing thirty acting all cutesy and calling him "cousin"...

"Then... I won't disturb your brothers' reunion?"

Lu Mingye also sensed that Wu Qicang might be acting strangely, and he thought it would be better for him to go and handle his business now.

Fu Sizhou's brow twitched again when he heard the word "brother".

Ah, Fu Shao Chen's matter isn't over yet... Why is Wu Qicang making things worse here...?

"Third Young Master!" Wu Qicang hurriedly said when he saw him about to leave, "I came from Miss Ye's place. She seems to be looking for you."

He had a sudden inspiration; knowing that Lu Mingye didn't know Yan Anxu at all, he could only mention someone who was relatively influential.

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingye said "I understand" and went over there.

Mission accomplished. Now Yan Anxu owes me one.

Wu Qicang was quite pleased with himself, unaware that Fu Sizhou's complexion was getting worse and worse.

"What do you want? I didn't come here today to play with you."

Fu Sizhou told himself to stay calm and tried to speak to Wu Qicang in a composed manner.

"Oh, I'm fine, I just wanted to keep my brother company."

Seeing that Lu Mingye had left, Wu Qicang spoke even more recklessly.

"...Okay, are you planning to help me drink, or accompany me on a social outing?"

Fu Sizhou asked.

Wu Qicang couldn't answer at all.

He had no idea about any of this. Qu Yishang had only instructed him to get closer to Fu Sizhou, and he had vaguely agreed without any idea what kind of operation was involved in those three words.

"You don't know anything, do you? How old are you? Why are you still like this?"

"But didn't you say I'm cute like this?"

Wu Qicang said, quite puzzled.

Fu Sizhou sighed.

If it weren't for the fact that Wu Qicang's mother and his mother's sister had a very good relationship and that she took good care of their family before he rose to power, he really wouldn't want to say a single word to Wu Qicang now.

He did say that Wu Qicang was cute, but the other person was only eight years old at that time!

Are eight years old and twenty-eight years old the same thing?

Even if he said it once, he can't use it for a lifetime, right?

The thought of the other person looking like this at eighty-eight years old made him feel a little sad.

"Fine... Just follow me for now. And don't say a word."

Fu Sizhou suppressed his urge to turn around and go find Lu Wangshen to stay with, and said.

If he had to choose between a madman and a fool, he would rather stay with the madman.

He casually took two glasses of wine from a passing waiter and handed one to Wu Qicang.

Wu Qicang accepted the wine, saying with a wronged expression, "Someone just asked me to drink with him. I don't want to drink anymore."

"Who is it that would let you drink?"

Fu Sizhou took a big gulp of wine before he felt a bit more alert and was in the mood for conversation.

"Ye... Ye family's second young master. Brother, you can't let him do this! This is humiliating our Fu family!"

As soon as he had a chance, Wu Qicang immediately began to complain about the grievances he had suffered.

"...Wu Qicang, is there some misunderstanding on your part?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Sizhou was speechless with anger. He dragged Wu Qicang upstairs.

He must find a secluded place to teach this kid a lesson.

"Ouch, it hurts! Let go of me!"

Wu Qicang cried out, his wrist being gripped tightly by Fu Sizhou, causing him excruciating pain.

Fu Sizhou ignored him completely, pulled him to a balcony, and then shook off his hand.

"I'm telling you this again, listen carefully. The second young master of the Ye family asked me to drink with him, and I had to go with him, let alone you. Do you understand?"

Fu Sizhou pointed at him and said.

"What? Wasn't the Fu family supposed to be very powerful? Why do they have to bow down to the Ye family? Well, brother, isn't it pretty prestigious for you to be the head of the Fu family?"

Wu Qicang continued to complain, utterly perplexed.

Fu Sizhou was obviously exaggerating. He and Ye Jin'er were more or less equals, but it would be a different story if it were Ye Yifan.

Even if I didn't exaggerate like that, I'm afraid Wu Qicang wouldn't be able to understand it.

It turns out his brain is even worse than I imagined; he even started complaining about the Fu family. Whose name has he been relying on to keep himself safe in the entertainment industry these past few years?

And what exactly is the term "master"...?

"So you're starting to look down on me? Then from now on, when you go out, don't call yourself the young master of the Fu family."

Fu Sizhou said coldly.

"Cousin, how could you say such a thing? I'm going to tell Mom!"

Fu Sizhou: ...

Are you a giant baby?

"I don't care! My cousin is bullying me."

Wu Qicang was so angry he cried. All he did was complain about the Ye family bullying him! Why couldn't he use the Fu family's identity anymore?

How could my cousin treat him like that!

"Tsk."

Fu Sizhou was clearly disgusted, but he didn't want him to make a scene. He patted Wu Qicang and said, "Don't be like this, you..."

"Mr. Fu, you're so busy."

Just then, a sound he least wanted to hear drifted in from the side.
