Chapter 6: Paving the Way for My Daughter

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Not long after returning home, Fu Xiaoya didn’t want to leave her parents, but she had no choice. In order to earn money, she had to leave.

Fu Hua sensed right away that Fu Xiaoya was being dishonest, but she chose not to confront her. Instead, she gently said, “You can go, but promise me you’ll come back home in the evening, alright?”

It was the extent of her compromise. If she could, she would keep her daughter by her side at all times, never letting her go.

“Okay, thank you, Mom. You’re the best,” Fu Xiaoya didn’t expect Fu Hua to agree so easily. She leaned against her mother’s shoulder and acted coquettish.

Fu Hua’s heart melted instantly. Whether it was for a friend or anything else, she would give her daughter the whole world without hesitation!

When Fu Xiaoya left the next day, Fu Hua felt extremely reluctant. She watched the car drive away, wishing she could chase after it.

“If you can’t bear it, should we go with her?” Fu Yuanjiang didn’t want to see his wife in distress.

Fu Hua shook her head. “Our child has grown up and needs to explore the world. I’m just a bit worried, afraid that Xiaoya might get bullied out there.”

“But we have Huang and the others,” Fu Yuanjiang said. Huang was their most reliable and trusted bodyguard.

“But Xiaoya wants to enter the entertainment industry, and that place is full of trickery.” Fu Hua sighed. She had only seen the poster this morning and learned about Fu Xiaoya’s plan to enter the entertainment industry. Although she wanted to support her daughter’s career, she was also afraid that Xiaoya wouldn’t be able to handle the things in that circle.

“Then should we invest some money?” Fu Yuanjiang suggested.

Fu Hua gave him a reproachful look. “Have you forgotten about what happened with Fu Song?”

Fu Song was interested in venture capital in the past. Fu Yuanjiang felt sorry for his son and, in order to help him achieve the title of the first venture capital expert, they invested money in the projects that Fu Song invested in. Although they made profits in the early stages of the projects, none of them lasted. Eventually, one by one, the projects failed, and Fu Song was devastated for a long time. He felt that he wasn’t cut out for the venture capital industry. During that period, he even became addicted to racing, which led Fu Hua to cut off his source of income.

Fu Yuanjiang touched his nose and said, “So, when it comes to our children, we have to learn to let go and allow them to explore on their own. That’s how they can grow.”

Fu Hua scoffed at his logical reasoning. “Well, my dear Mr. Fu, I hope you won’t secretly pave the way for our daughter when the time comes.”

Since there were very few vehicles in the village, it was Fu Song who drove Fu Xiaoya. Fu Xiaoya originally didn’t want Fu Song to know that she was going to Island Tower, but Fu Song kept asking about the destination and insisted on taking her there. Fu Xiaoya had no choice but to reveal the name of the building.

“Little sister, are you planning to become an entertainer?” Fu Song looked out the car window, observing the various beauties coming and going into the building. He squinted his eyes, paying close attention.

“Well… I just want to give it a try. Don’t tell Mom and Dad for now,” Fu Xiaoya said.

Fu Song withdrew his gaze and looked at Fu Xiaoya, who was applying makeup, asking, “Are you serious?”

“I’m serious.” Fu Xiaoya put away her powder puff and said to Fu Song, “I heard that Heavenly King Qin will be there. I’ll get you an autograph.”

“Heavenly King Qin? Who’s that?” Fu Song wasn’t into music or the entertainment industry, so he didn’t know about this famous person named Heavenly King Qin.

“But you have albums of Qin Tianwang in your room. Don’t you even recognize your own idol?” Fu Xiaoya looked at Fu Song strangely, wondering why her brother was pretending not to know. Did he think it was embarrassing for guys to be starstruck?

Fu Song suddenly remembered who Heavenly King Qin was. It was Qin Huaichen. But when did Qin Huaichen become his idol? His idol was the stock market god! As for those albums in his room, it wasn’t because he liked Qin Huaichen. It was simply because girls these days adored him. When Fu Song was trying to impress girls, gifting them a Qin Huaichen album proved more effective than buying ten handbags! Sometimes he forgot to bring the albums along while trying to charm the ladies, resulting in a growing stack of albums in his room.

Fu Xiaoya ignored Fu Song’s internal complaints and was struggling with the golden fishtail cheongsam on her body. She wanted to tear a slit in the cheongsam, but the quality of the dress was too good! It simply wouldn’t tear!

Fu Xiaoya asked, “Brother, do you have scissors in your car? Or any other kind of knife.”

Fu Song took out a small fruit knife and handed it to Fu Xiaoya, asking curiously, “What do you need a knife for?”

Fu Xiaoya forcefully cut the fabric with the knife, splitting the dress open to the root of her thigh. Fu Song winced at the sight. It was an haute couture gown crafted by a master. His sister destroyed it without even blinking!
