Chapter 479 - 271: Old Acquaintance
The Fu Family was an ancient and noble family, while the Shu Family was just an ordinarily wealthy household. Under normal circumstances, Shu Wan and Fu Siyu would never have crossed paths.
However, when Fu Siyu’s birth mother was abducted and trying to escape, fortunately, she was rescued by Shu Wan’s birth mother, which allowed her to survive until the rescue team arrived.
At that time, Shu Wan’s birth mother already knew that her husband was keeping a mistress and had fathered two illegitimate children.
She was filled with indignation, but at that time, she was also suffering from a serious illness. Her parental family favored sons over daughters and would never help her look after her own children.
Thus, when Fu Siyu’s father proposed to repay the kindness, Shu Wan’s birth mother tentatively asked if a marriage could be arranged.
Both of Fu Siyu’s parents were people of deep emotions and loyalty. Social status was important, but it could not outweigh the debt of a life saved.
Thus, Fu Siyu’s parents arranged a marriage contract for him and Shu Wan.
Over the years, the Fu Family had secretly looked after Shu Wan. Otherwise, she would never have been able to live a stable life within the Shu Family.
Later, when Shu Wan reached the age of marriage, she sought out Fu Siyu to ask if the marriage promise made long ago could still be fulfilled.
That was when Fu Siyu’s company was at a critical juncture of advancing to a new level. He was fully preoccupied with work and naturally had no interest in romance, so it did not matter who he married.
