The birthday banquet was about to start. Fu Chen had spent a lot of money this time and invited many people. Even so, many people didn’t receive invitations. The invitation cards were even selling for an astronomical price.

Who didn’t want to interact with the top circles in the capital?

Outsiders didn’t know and thought that Fu Chen didn’t have a girlfriend. As long as there were women of the right age in the family, regardless of whether they were close or distant, they wished they could bring them all. If they could catch Fu Chen’s eye, their family might be able to soar.

Therefore, some people called this birthday banquet a matchmaking banquet or a wife selection banquet.

Many internet celebrities posted photos online, looking like they wanted to join in the fun. But Song Fengwan knew that these people were not qualified to be invited at all. They just wanted to ride on the popularity.

Ever since Jiang Fengya hit Xu Yuanfei’s car that day, she had become very low-key. Even though they were in the same school, she never met Song Fengwan. Thus, her life was naturally calm until a few days before Fu Chen’s birthday…

When she went to class, she saw Jiang Ershao in front of Yuhe Tower.

“Jiang Ershao?” Song Fengwan hadn’t seen him for a few months. After the Sun Rui incident, she had heard that he had been punished when he returned home. In order to avoid the limelight, he had gone overseas for a period of time.

“Miss Song.” When Jiang Ershao saw Song Fengwan, he was still slightly uneasy, like a young boy in love. “Can I have a chat with you?”

At this moment, the front of Yuhe Tower was full of students going to and from class. Song Fengwan pointed at the pavilion on the other side. “Over there.”

As soon as the two of them walked over, Jiang Ershao rubbed his fingers and said awkwardly, “Are you going to Third Master Fu’s birthday banquet?”

“Yes.”

“I, I…” Jiang Ershao’s face flushed red. F*ck, you’re not some innocent little virgin. Why are you nervous at a time like this? Isn’t it just asking a girl out? Why are you stuttering?

“What?” Song Fengwan kept checking her watch, worried about missing class.

Jiang Ershao took a deep breath and said in one go, “I want to invite you to go with me!”

Song Fengwan had interacted with him twice. He was a typical prodigal son who liked to play around and go crazy. But he could still distinguish between right and wrong and had no ill intentions toward her. She smiled. “Sorry, my cousin is here. I agreed to go with him.”

“It’s alright! It’s alright! Hehe—” Jiang Ershao tugged at his hair awkwardly, took out a box from his pocket, and stuffed it into Song Fengwan’s hands. “I got someone to bully you before. I’m sorry. I bought this for you overseas. You have to accept it. I’m leaving now…”

Afraid that Song Fengwan would reject him again, he forced it on her and turned around to run away.

“Hey!” Song Fengwan called out to him again, but he was already gone.

Song Fengwan looked down at the box and opened it. There was a crystal bracelet with a gold-plated nameplate on it. It was engraved with the word ‘love’ and inlaid with diamonds. It looked expensive.

This thing was too precious. She thought that she should find him and return it to him.

When she arrived at the classroom and took a seat, she told Fu Chen about it…

After Sun Rui’s accident, Jiang Ershao had been sent overseas by his family. It was Fu Chen’s birthday this time, and the Jiang family wanted him to return to China to interact with more people.

[Keep it first. We’ll return it to him together later.]

Song Fengwan laughed softly. Does Third Brother want to scare Jiang Ershao to death?

***

Song Fengwan didn’t know what was going on today. After class, she went to the cafeteria to eat. As soon as she and Hu Xinyue reached the entrance of the dormitory, they bumped into Sun Qionghua.

“Wanwan…” Sun Qionghua was much thinner than before. Even though she was wearing a long, elegant dress, she couldn’t hide the shrewdness and sharpness in her bones.

“Then I’ll go upstairs first.” Hu Xinyue tactfully ran into the dormitory first.

“Auntie.” Song Fengwan felt a little awkward meeting her.

“Let’s sit outside. We can go to the cafe at the school gates. I’ll send you back soon.”

Song Fengwan hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement. She sat in her car and went to the cafe. She didn’t expect Fu Yuxiu to be here too. Everyone said that people were in high spirits when something happy happened. But Fu Yuxiu looked as if he hadn’t slept for a few days, and his entire body oozed dejection.

“Actually, I found you this time to apologize properly for everything that happened before…” Sun Qionghua’s attitude was sincere.

“I know that you might not be able to get over many things, so I’m not asking for your forgiveness.

“It’s Third Brother’s birthday in a few days. If you go, you’ll definitely meet Jiang Fengya. If possible, I hope you don’t go…”

Song Fengwan stared at the warm drink in front of her. “Are you worried that I’ll cause trouble?”

Sun Qionghua smiled faintly. “No, something might happen, and it might affect you. It might not be good.”
