“Really?” Song Fengwan pretended not to know when Fu Chen’s birthday was.

Her birthday and Fu Chen’s weren’t too far apart.

“Third Brother is twenty-eight years old this year, and he’s twenty-nine after his birthday. But he’ll be thirty in Chinese years. It’s his birthday after all. Do you want to hold a small banquet?” Fu Wan looked at Fu Chen, who was diagonally opposite her. He was eating dumplings dipped in vinegar, his actions extremely elegant.

“I’m not a child. Why would I hold a birthday banquet?” Fu Chen recalled that after his birthday last year, his relationship with Song Fengwan had been exposed, and he had even been beaten up because of it. At this moment, his back still hurt slightly.

“Thirty years old is also an important stage in life. As the saying goes, you’re already independent at thirty.” Although he was her younger brother, Fu Wan was much older than him and really doted on him like a son.

As the saying goes, the first child is raised meticulously, but the second child is raised crudely. This also caused Shen Jinye to almost always be left to his own devices at home.

After all, his mother had already raised his uncle before, so the novelty of raising a child had long passed.

“We can have one to liven things up,” Sun Qionghua added. “You can also bring your girlfriend over and let the family take a look.”

Actually, everyone in the Fu family knew that Fu Chen had a girlfriend, but they had never seen her before. It was because Old Madam Fu had said some harsh words a few years ago and forced him to go on blind dates and bring someone back. However, she hadn’t said anything recently, so everyone naturally knew.

Cough cough! Song Fengwan was caught off guard and choked on a dumpling.

“Third Brother is bringing his girlfriend back. Why are you so excited?” Fu Wan handed her a tissue.

“Thank you.” Song Fengwan blushed and stole a glance at Fu Chen.

A certain someone’s expression remained unchanged, and he continued eating the dumplings with his head lowered.

“Your second sister-in-law makes sense. You’re not young anymore. Before I return to the capital, I can also meet my sister-in-law and help you organize your birthday banquet,” Fu Wan volunteered.

When Fu Chen heard that Fu Wan would help him plan a birthday banquet, his fingers stiffened.

“Big Sis, it’s too troublesome for you. If you really want a banquet, I can do it myself.”

“It’s no trouble. I have nothing to do all day.”

Fu Chen recalled that on his tenth birthday, Fu Wan had organized a birthday party for him and even got him some little prince clothes. His pants were elastic and close-fitting. He really didn’t want to wear them, but they became an icon, and everyone came to take pictures with him.

Duan Linbai and the others almost laughed to death.

“It’s not a very important birthday. It doesn’t matter,” Fu Chen said resentfully, afraid that his sister’s temperament would cause him trouble.

He was almost thirty and didn’t want to lose his dignity.

…

After the Fu family finished eating dinner, other than a few female relatives watching the All Beings program hosted by Yu Manxi, the others were watching Old Master Fu and Fu Zhongli play chess.

Fu Yuxiu sat beside Fu Chen, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles.

“Why are you twisting around? Is there something growing on your butt?” Fu Chen tilted his head and looked at him. Why can’t he sit still for a moment?

“No,” Fu Yuxiu said bitterly.

The All Beings program just ended, and the news was playing. Song Fengwan looked at the time. It was almost eight o’clock. She thought that it was time to say goodbye to the Fu family and return to the school. Before she could speak, she saw a news report about the Fu family.

“… According to this video on the internet, it can be seen that the second madam of the Fu family is very domineering. Not only did she point at the pregnant Miss Jiang’s nose and scold her, but she even reprimanded her own brother. Later, the second master of the Fu family even fought with Sun Gongda.”

When everyone heard the commentary, their gazes were attracted to the TV.

“Although I don’t know what exactly happened, this kind of behavior really doesn’t make sense. The two families are so close.

“I’ve long heard that the second madam of the Fu family is very domineering. I didn’t expect it to be true. Even if she doesn’t like that girl, she doesn’t have to behave like that. From her expression at the time, you can see how domineering she is. She’s too much of a bully.”

…

The video was of Fu Zhongli and Sun Qionghua going to the Sun residence. It was self-evident who had released it.

Fu Yuxiu was the most shocked. He still couldn’t believe that his uncle would treat him like that. Now that the video was out, he was completely dumbfounded.

The scariest thing was what the Sun family did next.

“According to the real-time news obtained by our reporter, Sun Gongda wants to acknowledge Miss Jiang as his goddaughter. I heard that she was an illegitimate daughter. Now, her identity is very different, and she has the Sun family behind her. I wonder if the Fu family’s attitude toward her will change.

“When Eldest Young Master Fu got married, Yu Manxi was also acknowledged as a daughter by the Ning family. I wonder if the Fu family wants it to be the same this time.

“Did he give her a reasonable identity so that she can properly marry into the Fu family? We’re currently looking for insiders to verify the specific reason.”

Fu Wan sneered. “Sun Gongda is also extremely shameless.”

Because from the moment he publicly defended Jiang Fengya, it was equivalent to him publicly breaking off ties with the Fu family. The most despicable thing was that he even took the opportunity to besmirch Fu Zhongli’s and Sun Qionghua’s reputations.

Acknowledging Jiang Fengya as his goddaughter seemed to be helping the Fu family clean up their mess and giving her an identity to marry into the Fu family. He seemed to be repaying evil with kindness.

How dirty.

Fu Chen looked away from the TV and glanced at Fu Yuxiu. “You should know by now that your parents didn’t do anything wrong. You know very well what happened at the time. He’s now using the public to force our Fu family to respond.

“Perhaps you think that Jiang Fengya likes you, so I want to ask you. What does she like about you? Your appearance or the Fu family behind you?

“From the moment she started getting close to you, she knew about your relationship with Wanwan, so you should have known that this woman’s motives for finding you were definitely not pure.

“There are so many universities in the country, yet she chose Yuncheng University and happened to meet you. Do you really think everything is a coincidence?

“Use your brain to think about it!”

Many answers were already obvious. In Fu Yuxiu’s heart, he had always thought that she was delicate and innocent. But now, his fantasy was being shattered bit by bit.

Sun Qionghua was so angry that her face turned pale. Her brother had done such a dirty thing and even smeared the Fu family. She really felt ashamed.

“Big Sis, don’t you want to hold a birthday banquet for me? Go ahead… Since she wants to squeeze into the Fu family so much, let her come.” Fu Chen already had a plan in mind.

“You want to invite her?” Fu Wan frowned. “Don’t you feel uncomfortable?”

“She’s racked her brains to come in, so let her come. Yuxiu, remember to tell her when you get back.”

Fu Yuxiu didn’t dare to face Jiang Fengya at this time. As long as he remembered that everything had been planned, he would feel cold all over. But his third uncle actually wanted him to interact with her?

He must be crazy.

“Third Uncle?”

“It’s my birthday, and the Fu family will definitely be there. Let her dress nicely. Don’t be rude,” Fu Chen reminded.

Fu Yuxiu was dumbfounded. What’s going on?

Are they going to accept her just because my uncle recognized her as his goddaughter?

“This suggestion is fine. Since it’s your birthday, it has to be lively.” Old Master Fu lowered his head and made a move. “General!”

Fu Zhongli was listening to Fu Chen when he suddenly lost. He smiled. “Again?”

“No. You’re too stupid. It’s boring to play with you. Let Yuxiu play.”

Fu Yuxiu was dumbfounded. He didn’t know how to play chess at all. Wouldn’t he be tortured?!

***

Just after the Sun family released the news, the entire Beijing circle knew that Third Master Fu was holding his thirty-year-old birthday banquet and had specially invited Jiang Fengya…

Instantly, the news of her being accepted by the Fu family spread like wildfire.

There was still some time until his birthday, but Jiang Fengya had already started preparing her outfit, jewelry, and accessories, just waiting for the day she would amaze everyone. She had heard that Fu Chen’s circle was full of big shots and famous people, so she was worried that she wouldn’t be presentable.

Fu Yuxiu looked at her excited face, and his heart twisted and turned.

She thought that this birthday banquet would be an important turning point in her life, but little did she know…

Fu Chen had designed a trap for her, and she had even taken the initiative to deliver herself to his doorstep. She was going to dress up beautifully to be ruthlessly tortured!
