"Sigh, this... Old Madam, just take a look, and you'll understand!" Aunt Liu sighed repeatedly as Old Madam Fu pressed her for an explanation.
As she spoke, she approached Old Madam Fu and handed her an iPad.
"What's this...?"
Old Madam Fu instinctively took the iPad and quickly scanned the contents. Her brow furrowed.
Fu Yuheng and his wife, Luo Huiying, who were seated on either side of Old Madam Fu, also glanced at the iPad. Luo Huiying frowned. "How could this be?"
Fu Yuheng frowned too, but spoke with unwavering certainty: "Mom, that boy Fu Shan... he could never be like this! Absolutely not!"
They had all seen the trending news about Fu Shan refusing to support his parents and driving them from their home.
But neither Luo Huiying nor Fu Yuheng believed it.
Fu Shan could never be that kind of person, let alone do such a thing.
*This must be a mistake!*
Hearing this, Old Madam Fu nodded in agreement: "Yes, I think so too. It seems impossible."
Although she had only met him once, Old Madam Fu had grown quite fond of Fu Shan.
She firmly believed in the young man's integrity and was certain he would never do such a thing.
"However..."
Old Madam Fu turned her gaze to the couple, Fu Dagui and Li Chunmei.
"Son, daughter-in-law, don't you find this couple somewhat familiar?"
Fu Yuheng and Luo Huiying followed Old Madam Fu's gaze and were both startled when they saw Fu Dagui and Li Chunmei.
"Isn't that... Li Chunmei and Fu Dagui?" Luo Huiying's beautiful eyes widened in surprise.
Li Chunmei and Fu Dagui had once worked at their Fu Family's old mansion. Li Chunmei had been a maid, and Fu Dagui the gardener.
Though it had been over twenty years ago, and the household had many servants, Luo Huiying still remembered them clearly.
This was because Li Chunmei had been pregnant at the time, and her child had been born just a few days before Luo Huiying's own.
Out of kindness and consideration for her staff, Luo Huiying had arranged for Li Chunmei to deliver in the same hospital. They had both given birth in the best maternity ward in the entire capital, one after the other.
"Li Chunmei and Fu Dagui... they're Fu Shan's parents? Then Fu Shan must be that child from back then!"
Luo Huiying couldn't help but murmur to herself.
To think such a coincidence could exist in the world.
Fu Shan turned out to be the child born just after their Seventh Brother and Fu Zicong.
If she remembered correctly, Fu Shan and Fu Zicong were even placed in the same incubator by the nurses.
Both were premature infants and needed to stay in incubators for a while.
Li Chunmei had tearfully complained about their poverty and lack of funds.
Luo Huiying had kindly paid for the incubator fees and all her childbirth expenses.
"Still, Li Chunmei and Fu Dagui left rather abruptly back then."
Thinking of this, Luo Huiying couldn't help but purse her lips.
She had suffered a severe hemorrhage during childbirth and stayed in the hospital for a long time.
By the time she was discharged, Li Chunmei had already left with her baby.
When they returned home, Uncle He said the couple had resigned from their jobs and left.
They claimed there was an urgent family matter that required their immediate return.
After that, they vanished as if they had evaporated into thin air.
It wasn't until today, through Fu Shan, that they reappeared in the Fu Family's sight.
"It was indeed very sudden!"
Hearing his wife's rambling, Fu Yuheng nodded in agreement.
Of course, he remembered the couple as well.
Years ago, Fu Yuheng had already felt that the couple's character was questionable.
If not for Li Chunmei's advanced pregnancy, he would have fired them long ago.
At the time, Fu Yuheng had thought of it as accumulating merit for the child his wife was carrying.
Instead, their family ended up covering all the delivery expenses for Li Chunmei.
The couple never even came to thank them. They quietly checked out of the hospital, quit their jobs, and left without a word.
While Fu Yuheng secretly resented their ingratitude, he also found their departure rather sudden.
Old Madam Fu had been listening silently to Fu Yuheng and Luo Huiying, her expression thoughtful.
Just then, Fu Yuheng's phone rang abruptly.
He glanced at the unfamiliar number and instinctively answered. Before he could speak, a formal female voice came through:
"Is this the family of Fu Zicong? Fu Zicong has been in a car accident and is currently undergoing emergency treatment at the City Center Hospital. Please come immediately!"
The room fell silent.
The female voice on the phone seemed jarringly out of place.
"What? Zicong's in the hospital? Husband, let's go see him right away!" Luo Huiying, who had heard everything, exclaimed.
As she spoke, she was already rising and heading for the door.
Seeing this, Fu Yuheng immediately followed.
"We should go too," Old Madam Fu said, waving her hand. With Aunt Liu's support, she trailed after her son and daughter-in-law.
***
About two hours later, at the Central Hospital of Imperial City, in the attending physician's office:
"Patient Fu Zicong is out of immediate danger. However, due to severe blood loss, he remains in a coma. We estimate he will wake up tomorrow morning."
The attending physician, who had been treating Fu Zicong, spoke in a grave tone to Fu Yuheng and the others.
Here, the physician paused, a flicker of awkwardness crossing his face. After a moment of hesitation, he continued carefully:
"There's something else I must inform Mr. Fu, Mrs. Fu, and Old Madam Fu about. Due to the severe blood loss, we need to transfuse blood. As per protocol, we performed blood type testing before the transfusion. The results... *cough*... Mr. and Mrs. Fu, your blood types are incompatible with Fu Zicong's."
Fu Yuheng frowned. "What do you mean by 'incompatible'?"
The physician adjusted his glasses awkwardly, choosing his words carefully:
"That means... Mr. and Mrs. Fu, genetically speaking, you are not related to Fu Zicong. In other words, Fu Zicong is not your biological son."
Luo Huiying's eyes widened in disbelief. "What? You're saying Zicong isn't our son?"
Fu Yuheng was equally stunned. "This... Doctor, are you sure there's no mistake?"
*How could this be?*
*Zicong isn't their biological son? Not a child of the Fu Family?!*
*Then... who is their real son?*
