At the birthday banquet…

When Jiang Fengya appeared, Fu Wan happened to be very close to the entrance.

“Aunt.” Fu Yuxiu always had complicated feelings.

“Hello.”

Fu Wan was wearing a long purple gown today, complementing her to look noble, elegant, and calm. But when Jiang Fengya met her gaze, she still couldn’t hide her fear. The words she had said before were too ruthless and had become her nightmare.

She braced herself and greeted, “Hello, Auntie.”

Fu Wan nodded. “I’m going to look for your third uncle. The banquet is about to start. Why isn’t he here yet?”

“Third Uncle left the old residence earlier and said he went to pick someone up.” Fu Sinian walked over, and Yu Manxi was by his side. Her pregnancy was already very obvious. She wasn’t wearing a gown and was wearing simple home clothes.

They were both pregnant women, but Yu Manxi was in her normal state. Jiang Fengya looked too flashy and didn’t look like a pregnant woman at all.

“Who is he picking up that he has to go personally?” Fu Wan smiled and even reached out to touch Yu Manxi’s stomach. “Your child is very obedient in your stomach. You’ll definitely be at ease after he’s born.”

They were both pregnant, but the Fu family’s attitude was completely different.

Not long later, Duan Linbai arrived. Jing Hanchuan took the back door, and the few of them met in the lounge. The main character today was Fu Chen. A certain Langlang was actually dressed gorgeously in a pink suit.

“Why is that woman socializing everywhere? Does she really think she’s already the young madam of the Fu family?” Duan Linbai leaned against the railing on the second floor.

“Even Little Yu, the legitimate young madam, isn’t as ostentatious as her.

“Where did Third Fu go? It’s almost half past six. So many people are here. Where’s the protagonist?” Duan Linbai saw Qiao Xiyan enter. “Look, even his brother-in-law is here.”

He rambled on for a long time, but the person beside him ignored him. “Hanchuan? Did you hear me?”

“You’re a little noisy.”

“…” Duan Linbai was depressed.

On another side…

Fu Chen and Song Fengwan were already on their way to the birthday banquet.

“Were you frightened?” Fu Chen reached out his hand and rubbed her fingers. They were cold to the bone.

“I’m fine.” Song Fengwan still had lingering fears.

The force just now had been very strong when that person pushed her in. The space inside was narrow, and the walls and the floor were all piled up with cleaning tools. The space seemed to be able to accommodate three or four people, and it was difficult to move. She could only keep knocking on the door, hoping that someone would come and save her.

It happened to be dinnertime. Although there were not many people in the dormitory, the dormitory’s soundproofing was not very good. Coupled with the loud sound of her knocking on the door, it quickly attracted the attention of a girl in the dormitory.

She searched for a long time before realizing that someone was locked in the stairwell storage room.

“The door is locked!” The girl twisted the lock a few times but found that it was useless.

“Please look for the dormitory management auntie.” Song Fengwan pressed her hand on the door. “Thank you.”

“Wait a sec.” The girl shuffled her slippers and hurriedly ran off.

At this moment, Fu Chen had already rushed to the entrance of the dormitory, but he needed to swipe a card to enter. At this moment, a girl happened to return. Without hestitation, he prepared to follow her in.

“Sir!” The dormitory management aunt saw Fu Chen through the surveillance camera at the door and hurried out to stop him. “This is a female dormitory!”

“I know. Something happened to my girlfriend. I want to go in and take a look.”

“Your girlfriend?” The dormitory management aunt sized him up. “What is her room number? What’s her name?”

He was wearing a suit and looked like a decent person. Why did he barge into the female dormitory?

“…” Fu Chen was anxious and just wanted to confirm if something had happened to Song Fengwan. While this woman stopped him, a girl rushed down.

She was still wearing her pajamas. When she saw that there was a man here, she was a little surprised, but she didn’t care too much. “Auntie, someone is locked in the stairwell storage room over there.”

“What?” The dormitory management aunt was dumbfounded. “That place is never locked.”

“Yeah, there’s someone inside. Hurry up and take a look.”

“Wait for me. I’ll go get the key.” Before the dormitory management aunt rushed to the office, she glanced at Fu Chen. “Sir, you better go out now. Otherwise, I’ll call the police.”

Fu Chen glanced at the girl. “Where is the locked storage room you just said?”

“Go up the stairs on the left and turn the corner on the second floor.”

At this moment, Fu Chen couldn’t care less about the aunt’s warning and had already run over.

“Hey—” The dormitory management aunt was anxious and had to look down to look for the key.

Fu Chen rushed to the stairwell storage room in three steps. When Shi Fang wanted to follow him, the dormitory management aunt stopped him. “What’s wrong with you? It’s fine if only one of you goes in, but you want to rush in too. Get out.”
