Fu Family

Biodata

Background

The Fu Family’s business empire was built over several generations. Its extensive holdings, strong financial reports, and international wealth ranking initially made the possibility of bankruptcy seem absurd to Fu Huaiyan. He nevertheless recognized that the family depended heavily on him once Su Wanqiao’s thoughts exposed its internal vulnerabilities 4 8 16.

Chen Muyu raised four sons and three daughters after their father died young. The children received exceptional educational and professional opportunities, including support for Fu Yuze’s medical ambitions. Fu Huaiyan had divided wealth and inheritance rights fairly among his siblings, but their outwardly reasonable relationships concealed a serious reluctance to communicate openly 4 17 20 61 62.

Original Novel’s Fate

In the novel known to Su Wanqiao, romantic manipulation, stolen business secrets, corporate betrayal, and misunderstandings between siblings destroy the family. After its bankruptcy, the once-prominent household disappears from high society while the male and female leads’ family rises to become the richest 2 12 18 19.

These are foretold outcomes, not the family’s eventual status in the altered storyline 1 57 97.

Mind-Reading Ability

Su Wanqiao’s Visible Thoughts

The family’s supernatural advantage is the ability to see Su Wanqiao’s inner thoughts displayed in a text box above her head. Those thoughts reveal the novel’s future events, hidden relationships, and schemes against them 1 17.

• Family access: Fu Huaiyan eventually confirms that everyone in the Fu Family can see the thoughts, while outsiders cannot 49.
• Proximity limit: Su Wanqiao can prevent them from seeing her current thoughts by leaving their presence 49.
• Knowledge limit: Her information depends on what the original novel described. Some corporate problems are mentioned only briefly, without complete names or details 35.
• Early secrecy: Members initially conceal their own ability and are unsure whether their relatives share it 17 18 20.
• Open cooperation: After Fu Huaiyan tells Su Wanqiao the truth and informs the family, they can discuss her warnings without maintaining that secrecy 49 62.

Uses and Limitations

• Preventing manipulation: Warnings help the siblings recognize Jiang Ruoning’s influence and distance themselves from her 7 16 57.
• Protecting the business: The family identifies information leaks, investigates disloyal executives, protects patented technology, and works to retain employees 33 35 90.
• Screening partners: Su Wanqiao’s knowledge helps assess prospective spouses and exposes dangerous relationships 30 51 60 61.
• Redirecting opportunities: Fu Huaiyan pursues investments and alliances originally intended for Gu Yubai 41 75 79.
• Continuing danger: Knowing the plot does not automatically cancel it. Fu Huaiyan warns that events can still occur when their underlying causes remain in place 63.

Businesses and Resources

History

Early Warnings and Family Unity

Fu Huaiyan initially doubts Su Wanqiao’s predictions, but Fu Yichu’s nearly uncontrollable response to Jiang Ruoning makes the threat tangible. He removes Jiang Ruoning from the encounter and considers hiring senior professional managers rather than leaving the family’s future entirely dependent on his siblings 4 8.

Chen Muyu and Fu Siyao also abandon their hostility toward Su Wanqiao after learning what awaits them. Chen Muyu comes to value family solidarity over appearances, defends her daughter-in-law, and eventually bars Jiang Ruoning from the household. Fu Yunqi apologizes after recognizing how his actions could endanger both his relatives and the family’s employees 14 15 16.

Breaking the Gu Family Alliance

Su Wanqiao’s thoughts expose the Gu Family’s plan to exploit Fu Siyao through marriage and blackmail. Siyao publicly rejects the engagement, and Chen Muyu formally cancels it after investigating 12 19 20.

• Compensation: The Fu Family demands 300 million in hush money and two business projects worth more than 100 million each 22.
• Retaliation precautions: Fu Huaiyan assigns bodyguards after warnings that Gu Minghan may retaliate 23.
• Kidnapping plot: At the breakup dinner, Su Wanqiao identifies Gu Minghan’s lover and reveals their planned abduction of Siyao 23.
• Outcome: The Gu Family accepts the demands and removes Gu Minghan’s company responsibilities 23.

Securing Allies and Expanding Holdings

Protecting the Younger Siblings

The threat to Fu Qingshu at a bar renews Fu Huaiyan’s determination to reject the family’s assigned role as expendable villains. Qingshu subsequently rejects Gu Yubai and begins using her own network to anticipate threats rather than following her original romantic storyline 42 46 48.

The family also reassesses marriage arrangements. Fu Huaiyan proposes accepting only a son-in-law who marries into the Fu household for Siyao, while arranging a blind date between Fu Yichu and Sang Yu. By the later family banquet, Sang Yu and Xie Muling receive a warm welcome, whereas Pei He is treated with calculated courtesy after the family learns damaging information about him 46 52 60 61 62.

Corporate Reform and Countermeasures

Su Wanqiao warns Fu Yichu about Vice Chairman Bai, Director Gao, and the danger of losing technical staff. Rather than immediately dismissing Bai, Fu Huaiyan wants him held accountable for his betrayal. By the pharmaceutical expansion, Bai’s shares have been bought back, internal moles have been sidelined, and the group has retained talent while recruiting senior professionals 35 54 90.

Fu Qingshu’s undercover hires obtain development plans and conflicting inspection reports for Jiang Ruoning’s project at the former Xijiaolin Chemical Plant site. The family prepares to oppose the development because of its excessive heavy-metal contamination, while explicitly refusing to undertake illegal projects itself 62.

FN1 Outbreak

Advance knowledge allows Fu Huaiyan and Su Wanqiao to prepare medical resources before the wider FN1 outbreak. Fu Zhinian contracts the illness after returning from Country Y but recovers with treatment 96 97.

• Fu Yunqi promotes infectious-disease prevention through television appearances 97.
• Lin Shihua supports medical publicity, while Li Binyuan helps raise public awareness through his connection with Fu Qingshu 97.
• Prepared hospitals, vaccines, protective supplies, and NK625c keep infections manageable and prevent deaths during the outbreak 97.
• Fu Huaiyan and Su Wanqiao donate over ten billion to public causes rather than retaining most of their epidemic profits 97.
• Gu Yubai and Jiang Ruoning are arrested for counterfeit and substandard drugs and medical supplies, including more than two billion worth of fake versions of the Fu Family’s treatment 97.

Organizational Values

• Mutual protection: The siblings come to regard keeping the family solvent and united as essential to everyone’s safety 63 67.
• Character before appearances: When assessing partners, the family values personal conduct more than expensive gifts; it does not insist on perfectly equal family status 60.
• Strict upbringing: The children are taught emotional restraint and to avoid promiscuous relationships 17 61.
• Pragmatic methods: The family uses financial pressure, concealed investigations, corporate acquisitions, and leverage over influential people to protect its interests 22 50 62.
• Limits on business conduct: Despite its willingness to exploit leverage, the family explicitly rejects illegal development projects 62.
