Chapter 461 His Weakness, Only His Family

Chapter 461 His Only Weakness Is His Family, After All

Su He didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the children's questions, but she still answered seriously, "Grandma's okay. She misunderstood something, but it's all better now. Come on, everyone can go in and eat."

Zhuang Zhuang looked up at Su He with admiration and said, "Aunt, you're the best. If my mom were answering my question just now, she would definitely scold me and say, 'Why are kids asking about grown-up things?'"

Su He: "..."

Well, most adults probably said something like that to their children.

"Your mom just doesn’t want you to worry so much at such a young age. She doesn't mean any harm," Su He reassured him, patting Zhuang Zhuang’s head.

"Brother Zhuang Zhuang, stop asking. I want to go in with my mom to eat food. Niu Niu is hungry," Niu Niu cut in, interrupting their conversation.

This clever little imp, seeing someone liked her mother, was afraid her mom might be taken away and immediately wanted to win her back.

"Alright, let’s all go in and eat now," Su He said, leading the bunch of kids to the kitchen.

When they were halfway through the meal, Wu Yanhua’s angry voice suddenly came from her room.

"Scumbag!"

"How can there be such a foolish person in the world!"

"Does he even have a brain?"

All that could be heard were curses.

Everyone looked nervously at Fu Dajun, but he just waved his hand and said, "It’s fine, just keep eating."

From the sound of it, she was likely cursing at Fu Tinghua’s biological father.

Su He leaned close to Fu Tinghua’s ear and whispered, "See? I told you. Mom might have been angry at first, but after hearing Aunt Lan’s story, she’ll definitely feel sorry for her. Now you can relax a little."

Although Fu Tinghua wasn't good with words, he deeply cared about the Fu family, especially Wu Yanhua.

Earlier, when Wu Yanhua blew up, he couldn't even bring himself to look at Aunt Lan.

Though it might have hurt Aunt Lan’s feelings, people naturally play favorites.

Despite Fu Tinghua’s usually cold person, he just wasn’t one to express his feelings openly.

In truth, he had been very nervous about today’s confession session.

How could he not care? The parents who raised him for years weren’t his biological parents. The Fu family he grew up in wasn't biologically his home.

Everyone thought Fu Tinghua was always so calm and assumed he could handle these matters well.

But only Su He noticed his at a complete loss regarding his origins.

That’s why when Aunt Lan initially suggested not telling Wu Yanhua, Fu Tinghua agreed.

Someone as strict and upright as him wouldn’t normally lie to his adoptive mother.

So Su He could tell something wasn't quite himself with Fu Tinghua back then.

Even the calmest person has their weaknesses after all.

For someone like Fu Tinghua, his only weakness is his family.

"Ting Hua, you really—aren't my biological brother?" Thinking of this, Fu Ziyao suddenly felt that the rice in his bowl lost its flavor.

"Yeah, how could this happen? I’ve always been the one who looked out for Ting Hua the most since we were kids," Fu Derong also said with a bitter expression.

"Get outta here, how did you become the one who doted on your brother the most?" Fu Dajun said irritably to Fu Derong.

"Why wouldn’t I be? When Ting Hua was little, wasn’t it me who took him to catch swamp eels and fish in the river?" Fu Derong retorted defensively.

"Ting Hua, say something? Er-ge really doesn’t want to accept this fact," Fu Ziyao looked at Fu Tinghua again, his face full of worry.

Fu Tinghua finally raised his head, looked at the Fu family, and said solemnly, "Brothers, sisters-in-law, and Dad, no matter what, I am part of our Fu family. You are all my true brothers and my true father, and that will never change. Blood ties are important, but what matters most is that our family can always be together. And this, I promise you, will never change."

Fu Tinghua’s words were sincere and heartfelt.

Fu Ziyao and Fu Derong, who had been making a fuss just moments before, immediately quieted down. Both looked at Fu Tinghua, their eyes growing brighter.

The smartest one in their family was always Ting Hua.

But now, Fu Tinghua isn’t actually a member of the Fu family. Not to mention Wu Yanhua, even the Fu brothers couldn’t accept it.

This younger brother is their pride. How could they accept him being taken away so easily?

"Alright, hurry up and eat. Your brother has had enough to deal with these past couple of days. Don’t bother him."

Fu Dajun, perceptive as always, could also see that his youngest son was feeling troubled.

Only then did everyone realize that Fu Tinghua didn’t look well either.

He had always been confident and energetic, but now, one could see deep exhaustion in his eyes.

They realized that Fu Tinghua was the one at the center of this situation.

He was too composed, and everyone had relied on him too much in daily life, which led to the assumption that Fu Tinghua could handle anything that came up.

But this was a major event concerning his own background—how could Fu Tinghua not be anxious or worried?

Perhaps he was afraid too—afraid that the Fu family would drift apart from him in the future.

"Ting Hua, don’t worry, you will always be part of our Fu family. From now on, everything in our family will remain the same, and we’ll still listen to you. After all, you’re the smartest one in our family." At this point, Fu Guoqing, the eldest brother, stepped in and eased the awkwardness among the brothers.

"Mm, thank you, Big Brother." Fu Tinghua looked at his family and showed a genuine smile.

"Alright, alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s eat, let’s eat." Seeing this, Fu Dajun quickly told everyone to eat, and the atmosphere lightened instantly.

When the Fu family had finished eating and were huddled around the fire pit, chatting and warming up, Wu Yanhua came out hand-in-hand with Miss Lan.

Everyone was briefly confused for a moment seeing the two holding hands.

Had they made up so quickly?

"Come, Miss Lan, you must be hungry. Have something to eat first—you’re so thin," Wu Yanhua said as she led her along.

The family was speechless.

Her change in attitude was really a bit too sudden.

Miss Lan’s ears turned a little red, but she was also very happy. Fu Tinghua’s adoptive mother was a reasonable person, and as long as she didn’t reject her, that was enough.

In that case, Ting Hua wouldn’t kick her out.

"Sweetheart, you’re here. Come, come, we saved some food for you. Let me serve you both." The moment Fu Dajun saw Wu Yanhua, he immediately became attentive.

Wu Yanhua finally found Fu Dajun a bit more agreeable now.

"Yeah," she nodded, and Fu Dajun immediately grinned and scurried off to dish out the food for the two.

Seeing this, the rest of the Fu family also started bustling about.

Though no one was quite sure what they were busy with, they felt the need to look busy to break the tension.
