Fu Bing unconsciously stepped back upon hearing the words, her lips parting several tis without uttering a single sentence.
Monts later, she nodded gently.
"I thought as much."
Ren Ye grew even more sympathetic. "Don’t dwell on the past. Tell what kind of boy you like, and I’ll help you look carefully. Getting to know each other now, it also takes a year or two to figure out whether you’re suitable for marriage. You need to think this through and prioritize it soon."
Fu Bing had no interest in dating at the mont, but she didn’t want to brush off Ren Ye’s kindness either.
"I’ll sort it out and let you know."
Ren Ye knew she was brushing him off.
After having experienced a profoundly unforgettable love, how could she quickly detach herself and choose a new lover?
He was just reminding Fu Bing that he was also currently selecting emotionally stable n of suitable age, loyal to their feelings. To be honest, such n are rare in wealthy circles. They face too many temptations, with outstanding beauties throwing themselves at them, leaving very few who can focus on loving just one person. He didn’t want Fu Bing to be mistreated because of this.
Ren Ye suddenly thought of soone.
His eyes brightened as he said, "I’ve got to go, sothing else ca up."
And with that, he left briskly.
Wu Shi quickly stepped aside, watching Ren Ye’s figure disappear.
Fu Bing remained motionless.
She indeed needed to look forward as well.
It was too common for first loves not to work out. She needed to welco a new life.
Even if it wasn’t about getting married and having children imdiately, she should give herself a chance to et new n.
Wu Shi, watching Fu Bing’s retreating figure, felt for the first ti a profound sense of having lost his chance to connect with her.
More precisely, from the mont he decided to fake his own death, he could no longer have an honest conversation with her.
Even if Ren Ye didn’t urge her to find a boyfriend, Aunt Ning, Uncle He, Xiaoi, and others would.
With Ren Ye handling this matter, the caliber of n she could et through him might even be higher.
In his heart, Wu Shi silently crossed off Su Junling. Fu Bing had absolutely no romantic interest in Su Junling.
They could be friends, but not lovers.
Ren Ye rushed back to the villa and eagerly called his old friend Feng Zhe.
"What brings my old friend to call late at night?" Feng Zhe’s voice carried an inherent authority and righteousness.
Ren Ye felt invigorated every ti he heard his voice.
"Is Feng Yu back yet?"
"He’ll be back tomorrow morning. I actually have sothing I’ve been wanting to ask for your advice on."
"Go ahead."
"This kid spends 360 days a year in the military, and the other 5 days he cos ho only because we order him to, and even then reluctantly. His mom and I were thinking of having him et a few girls during the few days he’s ho, but all the girls we know can’t stand this. You know a lot of people, could you help see if there’s a suitable candidate you could recomnd?"
Ren Ye’s eyes lit up, and he smiled. "I won’t lie to you, I called tonight for this very reason too. I know a really good girl, well-rounded in all aspects, and I want to introduce her to Feng Yu."
"Can you tell about the girl’s situation?"
"Are you trying to screen her out right from the start?"
Feng Zhe, having spent most of his life in the military, knew the importance of listening to the tone of one’s voice.
"It seems you really like this girl. Ren, I’ll be frank with you, our family doesn’t require the girl to co from an outstanding family background, but with three generations of military personnel in our family, most of our family mbers hold military ranks, and countless eyes are on us. It’s hard for to agree if her identity is unclear."
"I wouldn’t hide such a big matter from you. The person I want to introduce is my niece, Fu Bing. She has no relatives and is fortunate to have my support. I’m thick-skinned enough to act as her elder and plan a secure future for her."
Feng Zhe did not reply imdiately. Instead, he said, "Ren, we’ve known each other since primary school. Are you sure you want to risk our friendship for little Fu Bing?"
"I have faith in her. I think she’s a good girl with a strong character and easy-going nature. Once you get to know her, it’s hard not to be attracted. I’m willing to stick my neck out for her."
"I see. I’ll think about it."
Yu Sihui saw her husband grimacing with knitted brows and a somber face.
"What’s with that face? Did your precious son fail to return from leave again?"
Feng Zhe rubbed his face and said with difficulty, "It’s Ren’s call, about arranging a match for our son."
"Isn’t that good news? Ren has watched Feng Yu grow up, he knows Feng Yu very well. His recomndation must be reliable," Yu Sihui said, puzzled.
"He’s recomnded Fu Bing, the one who’s been causing chaos in Jiangnan and Jiangcheng recently."
Yu Sihui was stunned. "What’s Ren thinking? Is he paving the way for Fu Ya’s daughter to our son now?"
Feng Zhe shook his head. "Ren is cunning, but he doesn’t sche against people he cares about. Maybe he genuinely thinks Fu Bing is suitable for our son."
"I’m not old-fashioned. Fu Bing’s status as a celebrity could be beneficial for a business-oriented family, providing considerable support. But a family like ours needs to maintain a low profile. Accepting soone like Fu Bing would be difficult and could also bring many inconveniences." Yu Sihui actually quite liked Fu Bing. The young woman had good acting skills, a sharp mind, and a strong personality.
Yet, those who clawed their way through the entertainnt world usually carried a certain edge, especially since she had been in jail before. This was sothing their family could not tolerate.
After thinking it over, Yu Sihui said, "Old Feng, if you can’t refuse Ren outright, let make the call. We shouldn’t let such a small issue erase years of friendship between our families."
Feng Zhe wanted to refuse too, but he was considering a deeper layer.
"Comrade Sihui, I have a different perspective. Let’s hear it out. If it seems inappropriate, we can hold a vote."
Yu Sihui nodded.
"Feng Yu has toughened up a lot in the military. He’s really shaped up to be quite the man. Right now, he’s like an untad wild wolf; no ordinary girl could hold him down. He wouldn’t be interested in a girl easy to handle. Instead, why not take up Ren’s suggestion and let the two et? Whether it works out or not is a matter for later. We shouldn’t let preconceptions stop our son from possibly growing."
The more Feng Zhe spoke, the more he felt it made sense. "Furthermore, Fu Bing isn’t soone to be manipulated easily. It’s not just a matter of whether our son likes her; she might not even find him appealing. It’s better to just let them et openly. If they can talk, they talk. If not, they’ll sort it out themselves. What do you think?"
After listening, Yu Sihui realized she had been too conservative, objectifying Fu Bing without treating her as a real person.
Not only did they have the right to choose, but Fu Bing also had it.
Yu Sihui nodded. "Your analysis makes sense. It was my backward thinking that needs criticizing."
Feng Zhe smiled broadly. "You call our son. I can hardly exchange two words with him without us snapping at each other, which isn’t good for communication."
Yu Sihui did not demur.
