    Chapter 121: Fu Group's Fourth Miss—A Heaven-Sent Darling

    Both brothers chuckled simultaneously over the phone.

    Fu Jingyi was still busy, the continuous click-clack of his keyboard audible.

    Hearing this, Fu Yuchen spoke, "Big Brother, you go ahead with your work. I can handle things here. Zhi Zhi said she wants to tell you a story tonight—she’s being all mysterious about it, not even willing to tell Second Brother."

    The moment he recalled his little sister nestled in his arms that morning, poring over an oceanography picture book and declaring she’d tell her brothers a story, a smile instantly softened Fu Yuchen’s eyes.

    Fu Jingyi’s eyes brightened at the words, and even the afternoon’s office fatigue dissipated by more than half.

    "They’ve already spread this matter online. It’s probably blowing up by now—you might want to take a look."

    "I glanced at the trending topics. Hmph, those ungrateful wretches are getting roasted in the comments."

    After hanging up, Fu Yuchen opened his social media app.

    Before he could even search for keywords related to himself, the top trending post on his feed was already about him.

    #FuGroup’s Second Young Master Scorns the Poor and Clings to the Rich, Kicks His Own Aunt Out for Inheritance#

    The headline was certainly lengthy.

    A wry smile curled at Fu Yuchen’s lips as his slender fingers tapped into the topic.

    1F: Here for the tea. Today’s hot gossip is about the Fu family? Weren’t they just trending not long ago? Are they buying bots to boost their Q4 performance?

    2F: Heartless! To take a bite of the Fu family’s fortune, he’d even kick out his own aunt. What an ungrateful wretch.

    3F: Heard the Second Young Master’s parents are both dead? Tsk, the Fu Group’s CEO is an eccentric—anyone who’s dealt with him knows. No wonder he raised such a son.

    ......

    52F: Are the people above paid trolls? His birth parents died in an accident, and none of his relatives lifted a finger to help, just shipped him off. Everyone understands hardships, but now that Second Young Master Fu was adopted by a good family, they come crawling back to leech off him? Disgusting. You raise a child for years, then swoop in to take him back—how do you think the kid would feel?

    53F: Fu Group’s Second Young Master? That cool, refined guy who accompanied my darling daughter to the Maldives? Oh my god, only a family like the Fus could nurture such an outstanding child. I heard he was already a sophomore at 16—if he hadn’t turned down the gifted program, he’d have graduated college by now. If he’d gone with that aunt, his future would’ve been ruined.

    54F: They’re still blood-related. I think the two above are being a bit extreme.

    55F: 54F is clueless, everyone ignore them—I’m dragging them back to the hospital for treatment. Seriously, who doesn’t know that the bond of upbringing outweighs blood ties? The Fu family poured resources into raising this prodigy, and these people think they can just waltz in with a ‘he’s our kid’ and take him back?

    56F: Agreed. It’s not like there’s a throne at home. Sixteen years of silence, and now that he’s been raised well, they demand him back? With both parents gone, who’d want to return?

    ......

    The online frenzy raged on, with no official statement to quell the storm.

    Half an hour later, just as netizens were at each other’s throats over whether adopted children should return to their birth families, an account under the name ‘Fu Yuchen’ posted.

    The post contained only three things: an aged adoption certificate, dozens of bank transfer records, and clear security camera footage.

    Every transaction was directed to the same recipient—Zhang Xia—a name that instantly went viral.

    1F: Plot twist of the century! My entire family is shocked! Never eaten a rich-family drama before, but damn, their transactions start at hundreds of thousands of yuan? *sobs* CEO Fu, do you need another son? A 25-year-old man-baby, perhaps?

    2F: So this Zhang Xia is Second Young Master Fu’s aunt? After all the money the Fu family gave her, she still demanded 5 million yuan to leave him alone? Forget her whole family! My heart aches for my daughter’s Second Brother T-T

    3F: SOS, some people truly have no shame. Disgusting! *gags*

    4F: *Hesitantly* Uh, has anyone seen that trending post on foreign social media? The one with the handsome father on a speedboat with his daughter, surrounded by Pink Sperm Whales? The blurry pic looks so much like my darling daughter. [Image.jpg]

    5F: WHAT KIND OF AMAZING PHOTO IS THIS?! THAT’S 100% MY DARLING DAUGHTER! Pink Sperm Whales are already rare, but she’s surrounded by a whole pod?! I can’t breathe—my daughter is an absolute angel. AN ANGEL!

    6F: *Squeals in delight* My daughter is such a magnet—wait, no, an animal whisperer! The official Fu Group account once posted her pressing against a goldfish tank to kiss a ranchu goldfish. Sweet heavens, what kind of angel is this?!

    7F: Going off on a tangent, but today is another day of adoring my daughter! Pink Sperm Whales = good luck! *makes a wish*

    ......

    As the comments grew increasingly chaotic, Fu Yuchen, leaning against the corridor railing, only grew more amused.

    He even witnessed the birth of a new hashtag created by enthusiastic netizens dedicated to his sister:

    #FuGroupFourthMissIsAHeavenSentTreasure!!!#

    Complete with multiple exclamation marks.

    Fu Yuchen had zero interest in Zhang Xia and her family. But the moment he saw this hashtag about his sister, he immediately clicked in and followed it.

    Quietly saving the enhanced version of the blurry image to his phone, he remembered—this was from the day his sister had sneezed, the same day he’d playfully chided his father.

    Smiling, he emailed the photo to his father, certain it would bring him joy.

    His lips curving further, he shared another photo using the hashtag—one of his sister collecting seashells in the Maldives.

    Fu Yuchen: Thank you all for loving Zhi Zhi. She’ll be overjoyed when she wakes up and sees your affection. [Image.jpg]

    After posting, he locked his phone, ignoring the internet’s excited reactions.

    Glancing at his watch, he saw it was time for his sister to wake up. Gently turning the handle, he stepped inside—only to find a small figure already sitting up in bed.

    The sound of the door seemed to startle her. Turning her head, her sleepy little face lit up.

    "Second Brother, hug~"

    Fu Yuchen strode forward, sweeping her into his arms with a laugh.

    Ruffling her bedhead, he murmured, "Zhi Zhi was so good today, waking up on her own."

    The Little Dumpling snuggled against his shoulder, yawning softly. "Mhm. Because I dreamed of Second Brother."

    She’d felt a pang of loneliness upon waking without him—only for him to appear the moment she opened her eyes.

    Tiny fingers clutching his collar, she’d filled out slightly from her brothers’ doting, her hands now adorned with cute little dimples.

    "What did you dream about me?"

    Fu Yuchen carried her toward the bathroom, voice low.

    The Little Dumpling blinked up at him, her smile sweet and drowsy. "I dreamed Second Brother became incredibly impressive. You could even fly!"

    His eyebrows shot up. "Fly? Then I’ll definitely take Zhi Zhi flying with me."

    The bathroom soon filled with the siblings’ laughter.
