Capítulo

In a VIP ward of a private hospital in City S.

Old Madam Fu, from a family doing embroidery business for generations, was seriously ill and had an operation lately. Now she was awake. After a trip to the gate of Heaven and luckily returned, the first person she wanted to see the moment she opened her eyes was Fu Sheng, her granddaughter who had been away for ten years and just returned from Jade Spring Monastery!

"Fu Sheng, I might not be able to protect you for more than a few years. The Fu family is not a place that a bald-headed little girl like you can stay. Take this jade amulet and go to the Shann family. You and their second son, Shann Junior, got engaged when you were both children. He promised me that he would talk to you about this matter. Go talk to him nicely. It would be wonderful if you two can register for a marriage today. Shang's Second Young Master will go abroad for further study tomorrow and he won't be back within half a year. Don't let this opportunity slip away. You got me?"

"Grandma." Beside the sickbed, under a shiny bald head, Fu Sheng's clear and round eyes blinked. Her long and thick eyelashes flapped like fluttering butterflies. She pulled her ears and moved her face close to her grandma, "Could you please speak louder. You know I spent ten years in Jade Spring Monastery and the bell there had almost made me deaf."

"..." Old Madam Fu was almost pissed to death. She tweaked Fu Sheng's ear and shouted, "I want you to take this to propose to young Mr. Shang! Marry him! So that I can stop worrying!"

Fu Sheng finally understood what she meant. She took the jade pendant obediently and stood up immediately, ready to escape...

"Come back!" Old Madam Fu pointed to the bag at the end of the bed, "Put on the wig inside the bag. Who wants to marry a woman with a head as shiny as a light bulb?"

"Grandma, I was the recognized bald-headed beauty in the monastery," protested Fu Sheng pouting. She looked good with a bald head. Only her own grandma could be so straightforward as to say she was ugly. 

Fu Sheng's facial features were soft and beautiful, and she had the elegance and gentleness of the southern women. She grew up in a remoted town in the mountain area and the nature beauty seemed to have left a shadow in her looking and behavior. She was petite and had soft curves that made people liked her naturally at the first sight. When she went out with nuns to the town, every family welcomed her, and many offered donation to their monastery.

However, her own grandma thought that she was ugly. This was really hurting.

She didn't know that old Madam Fu thought she was too innocent and would be the easy target of the bullies. That was why she was so eager to see her get married.

Indeed, her health wouldn't allow her to stay in this world for long. She felt that she couldn't face Fu Sheng's parents when she met them in heaven if she didn't make sure that Fu Sheng would have a peaceful life in the future...

What Grandma didn't know was that Fu Sheng had her own plan.

After putting on the wig, Fu Sheng said goodbye to the old lady and left.

"Remember to speak nicely and try to get married at the registry today!"

Looking at Fu Sheng's lonely back, tears came out of old Madam Fu's eyes, but she quickly wiped them off.

Fu Sheng had just walked to the door of the elevator when two bodyguards came to stop her. "Miss Fu, Madam wants to see you."

"Okay, I got it," replied Fu Sheng calmly. His expression was peaceful as a saint. "I have already met her."

"You have already met her?" When the bodyguards looked at each other dumbfounded, Fu Sheng had already rushed into the elevator. When one of the bodyguards wanted to follow her in, Fu Sheng frowned and waved her little hand. "Hey! Don't follow me."

After hesitating for a moment, the bodyguard finally withdrew his foot.

They had heard that Miss Fu just returned from the monastery. Perhaps that explained her weird behavior. 

"Bye."

Fu Sheng curled her lips slightly and smiled. The two big silly faces of the bodyguards finally disappeared behind the the elevator door as it slid close.

After she reached the first floor, Fu Sheng rushed out of the hospital like a whirlwind and her wig almost fell out.

She stopped a taxi and instructed the driver to drive fast.

"Mister, I'm in a hurry to a place."

"Where are we going, Miss?"

"Oh, let me think..."

She left in such a hurry that now she forgot which family her grandma asked her to go.

Fu Sheng knocked on her head and her eyes happened to fall on the "Rishang Shop" on one side of the street and then she was enlightened by the character "shang".

"Sir, do you know a family named Shang? A very rich family named Shang."

"Do you mean the most famous Shang Group?"

"Yes, that's right!"

"No problem. I'm familiar with that place! Miss, sit tight!"

The driver sent Fu Sheng to the headquarters of Shang Group very soon.

A towering building, emitting a sense of coldness of science and technology under the sunlight, seemed to be an unreachable god standing between heaven and earth.

After paying the fare, Fu Sheng walked into the building.

The clerk at the receiption desk put on a sweet smile and said, "Hello, what can I help you?"

"I want to meet Mr. Shang."

"You want to see our president? What's your name?"

"Fu Sheng."

"I'm sorry, but I can't find your name on the appointment list of Mr. Shang."

"Oh, I talked with him. He called me just now and asked me to come here. My phone is out of power. Otherwise I would show you the conversation record."

The receptionist smiled but said nothing. She said inside, 'Lady, don't think that I would believe your nonsense only because you are pretty. Your story can't even convince yourself.'

Fu Sheng pursed her lips and put on a sweet and gentle smile. "You don't believe me?"

The receptionist was still smiling. 'What do you think?'

"..." Fu Sheng looked around and her eyes fell on a man dressed in a sleek suit. Just looking at the fabric of his suit, one could see that the suit should be very expensive. The way he walked was different from the people around him. Obviously he was one of the top management.

"Wait." Fu Sheng walked over and stopped the man. "Hello, Sir, can you help me? Mr. Shang asked me to come here to meet him but the clerk couldn't find the appointment record on her file."

Shang Yunying, who was stopped by her, was stunned and scanned Fu Sheng up and down. She was too beautiful for a normal man to refuse helping her.

Besides, Shang Yunying had always been patient with beautiful women.

"Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"

Fu Sheng smiled slightly, "Well, you'll be able to see me frequently in the future."

How could she be so confident? Shang Yunying narrowed his eyes and asked seriously, "What do you want from my brother?"

'How can my mother be so persistent? She finds a new woman to seduce my brother every a few days. My brother was just discharged from the hospital!'

However, this girl was different from the others she found for him. She was pure and innocent. Look at the way she dressed! An ordinary white shirt and a pair of blue jeans! The prosaic dressing magnified her unworldly beauty and he couldn't help wanting to hang out with her and flirt with her.

"Oh, so you are Mr. Shang too." Fu Sheng felt that Luck was on her side today. She lied cheekily, "It is a matter of life and death. You will know what has happened after you take me to see him."

Shang Yunying was impressed by the imaginative tall tale of the girl. He had to admit that she had guts when she lied.

However, Fu Sheng's eyes were too clear, frank, without any sign of guilt. She didn't look like a liar at all.

And perhaps a liar couldn't be so brave.

His eyes met her steady glance and he was moved. Probably it wouldn't bring too much trouble if he agreed on her asking.

"Follow me."

Fu Sheng's lips curled up slightly and she followed him into the elevator without hesitation.

In the president's office on the 56th floor.

When Fu Sheng was taken into the room, she saw a handsome man sitting against the light behind a huge executive desk. The light that poured in from the French window behind him couldn't outshine the brilliant light of him.

Fu Sheng had never seen a person who looked so handsome. His eyes, nose and mouth all conformed to the ideal image in her mind. His longish eyes, cherry-colored lips, tall, straight nose, and even the gold-rimmed glasses were perfect to her imaginaiton of a noble gentlement.

So the light literature she had read didn't lie. There was someone in this world that had  the perfect looking depicted in the books.

"My brother is handsome, isn't he?" Seeing Fu Sheng's spellbound expression, Shang Yunying knew that from then on, there would be another girl in this city who was immersed in her brother's beauty. He stuck out his chest with pride.

He himself was also very good-looking, but his brother was a nonsuch. Numerous women from renowed families were dreaming in vain to approach this pair of brothers.

Fu Sheng nodded honestly and swallowed to show her admiration.

Shang Yunying laughed loudly and then led her forward, tapping the table with his fingers.

"Yuxiu, this lady wants to see you. When did you get to know each other?"

Shang Yuxiu did not even bother to raise his head. He flipped through a stack of contracts and made a curt reply.

"I don't know her."
