Mr Fu, I Really Love You

Chapter 1398: Heartache

“Be good, don’t worry. Your grandfather has already dealt with the people who bullied you. Let’s not talk about the college entrance examination… As long as the Fu family doesn’t collapse in this lifetime, they won’t have the chance to stand out! Do you think any random nobody can bully the daughter of the Fu family in Haicheng?”

After Old Madam Fu finished speaking, she was afraid that her words would upset Fu Manman, so she awkwardly handed a piece of beef jerky to her granddaughter. “Come… have some quick beef jerky! Your favorite…”

She still remembered how Fu Manman was pretty and the most likable young lady in the family when she was young. She had a glib tongue… Not only was she the most likable by the elders in the family, but she was also very arrogant. She took advantage of her cuteness to get into trouble and threw herself into the elders’ arms. After crying for a bit, everything would be fine. This had made her unruly. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call her a little tyrant.

Later, after she gained weight because of the medicine, the child became more and more silent. She didn’t like to talk or go out, and she felt inferior about her image.

The more Old Madam Fu looked at her granddaughter, the more her heart ached. This obesity problem… was really tormenting the child.

The Fu family had discussed in private that if Fu Manman didn’t want to take part in the college entrance examination, she wouldn’t take part in it. They would just let the child be happy.

Old Madam Fu brought Jiang Mingzhu back to Old Madam Fu’s villa in Nanshan first. She said that the air and scenery here were good, and she wanted Fu Manman to rest.

Jiang Mingzhu was brought into Fu Manman’s bedroom. When she saw Fu Manman’s childhood photo, she was stunned…

Jiang Mingzhu walked over and picked up the photo.

It was a photo of her and Fu Manman when they were younger.

That was Jiang Mingzhu’s famous masterpiece after she won the Best Actress Award. She played Su Qinghe in the historical drama “The World.” This young lady, Fu Manman, was actually… the child actress who acted as the little Su Qinghe.

Jiang Mingzhu’s lips parted slightly, and her mind, which had been blank for a long time, gradually pieced together the fragments of her memories. All of Fu Manman’s memories and feelings surged over like a tidal wave. Fu Manman’s intense desire to die kept striking Jiang Mingzhu’s nerves. She clutched her clothes and fell to the side of the bed, her heart pounded.

She gritted her teeth. The figure of the child Fu Manman was still vivid in her mind.

When others told Fu Manman that she would grow up more beautiful than Jiang Mingzhu, the child responded like a proud little peacock. “It’s for sure that I’ll grow up pretty, but I hope that when I grow up, I’ll also have such good acting skills. This way, I can surpass Sister Mingzhu and become even more popular than Sister Mingzhu!”

At that time, Jiang Mingzhu liked this young lady. She felt that this child wasn’t hypocritical or pretentious, and she was quite envious of her. Fu Manman was not at all like her, who suppressed her original personality to exude a gentle persona.

Who would have thought the girl who acted like a proud little peacock would end up being bullied to death because of her weight?

While she sympathized with Fu Manman, Jiang Mingzhu also thought of herself before she died…

Jiang Mingzhu’s father was the godfather of the music industry, Jiang Yishi. Later, because of his lack of inspiration, he could not write a wonderful song and died from drug abuse. From then on, her mother, Ye Qinghan, who was born in a Traditional Chinese Medicine family, forbade Jiang Mingzhu from touching anything related to the entertainment industry and focused on teaching Jiang Mingzhu medical skills.

But why would a young woman like Jiang Mingzhu want to learn Chinese medicine? It was because she wanted to study some beauty recipes to make herself more beautiful.

Jiang Mingzhu wanted to let everyone know about her beauty, so she went down the path of a model behind her mother’s back. She then entered the film industry with her pretty looks, becoming extremely popular in the process.

Ye Qinghan forced Jiang Mingzhu to leave the entertainment industry. But Jiang Mingzhu was unwilling and cut off all ties with her mother.

Back then, she shouldn’t have ignored Shi Hanchu’s advice not to get together with Du Lingyang.

Shi Hanchu had treated her so well back then, and she knew very well what Shi Hanchu meant to her. However, she was together with Du Lingyang, who had been pursuing her for two years.

Shi Hanchu had warned her that Du Lingyang didn’t have a good character. But she didn’t take his words seriously and instead accused Shi Hanchu of slandering Du Lingyang out of jealousy. Inevitably, the two of them quarreled.

Jiang Mingzhu wasn’t guarded against this gentle and elegant boyfriend…

She had the intention to inherit her father’s legacy. When she was young, she would write a few songs. Later, because she loved her beauty too much, she focused on her appearance.

After she got together with Du Lingyang, Jiang Mingzhu saw that Du Lingyang was writing a song, and she was itching for it…

She secretly stole the song that her father wrote before he got into drugs and showed it to Du Lingyang. She wanted him to take a look at it and see if she could enter the music industry.

Who would have thought that after listening to these songs, Du Lingyang would feel threatened? Each of the songs could be regarded as a classic that could be passed down the generations. He harbored ill intentions and instructed Jiang Mingzhu to keep it a secret so that he could be in charge of producing Jiang Mingzhu himself. At the same time, he spiked Jiang Mingzhu’s wine and tried to create an accident which would result in Jiang Mingzhu being found to be driving under influence.

Jiang Mingzhu asked him why, but he only said that he absolutely wouldn’t allow Jiang Mingzhu’s appearance to affect his position in the music industry.

To his surprise, Jiang Mingzhu was still alive when she arrived at the hospital. However, the attending physician was Du Lingyang’s mother.

Du Lingyang frantically told his mother that if Jiang Mingzhu didn’t die, she would sue him for murder.

In order to protect her son, Du Lingyang’s mother didn’t work hard to rescue her, eventually resulting in Jiang Mingzhu’s demise.

What was laughable was that as soon as Jiang Mingzhu died, Du Lingyang announced to the public that he was preparing a new album. He said he was going to reproduce Jiang Yishi’s song, the godfather of the music industry. He also announced to the public that Jiang Mingzhu was Jiang Yishi’s daughter. He said that although Jiang Mingzhu had never studied music formally, she was extremely talented. While he was heartbroken over losing his girlfriend, he also shared the public’s heartache for losing a movie queen and the film industry’s talented daughter.

Hence, Du Lingyang decided to add Jiang Mingzhu’s name to the music score and place her name in front of him to signify that more credit was given to her. This earned Jiang Mingzhu’s fans’ favor.

Jiang Mingzhu really wanted to curse.

Jiang Mingzhu’s tragic and short life ended just like that, beginning the remaining half of Fu Manman’s life…

She had to take revenge, but for now, Jiang Mingzhu had no idea what to do. However, if Fu Manman wanted to be more famous than Jiang Mingzhu, she couldn’t rely on her fat body!

It was time to lose weight…

She had formulated a strict diet plan for herself. With the knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine skills that she learned from her mother, she started her path of losing weight.

Old Madam Fu was frightened by her granddaughter’s crazy exercise and obsession with Chinese herbal medicine. She asked who gave her the medicine, but her granddaughter only vaguely said that she was an experienced traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. She was afraid to ask again!

The old lady secretly took a bit of her granddaughter’s herbal medicine to have it examined by an old Chinese doctor. The doctor only said that it was a good recipe. While the old lady was relieved, she felt her heart ache even more as she watched her granddaughter torment herself every day.
