Madam Fu knew her son had a girlfriend, but he had never ntioned any plans to bring her ho, let alone today. Otherwise, she and her husband wouldn't have arranged to et with the Shi family today. No matter what, they would have cleared their schedule for this.
As a result, now they were in an awkward situation: she and her husband were entertaining guests, while their son had brought his girlfriend ho. This was quite unseemly. The Fu Family was known for their propriety and had never done anything so inconsiderate before.
It wasn't just the Fu couple who were dumbfounded, but also the Second Young Master Fu, who had impulsively brought his girlfriend ho.
The second son had found a girlfriend from a common background, believing he had found true love. Sohow convinced that his parents would look down on his girlfriend and try to break them up, he impulsively brought her ho in an attempt to force his parents to accept her.
Of course, his thought process was difficult for any normal person to understand.
What Second Young Master Fu hadn't anticipated was that his plan would fall apart at the very first step. He had planned everything out, but bringing his girlfriend ho when there were already guests present threw a wrench in the works. How could he proceed with the rest of his plan now?
The Shi couple were also taken aback, wondering if they had co at a bad ti.
Shi Li quickly recovered from her stupor, her voice filled with indescribable excitent and agitation. Fu Huixing knew it was the excitent of witnessing drama unfold.
"We ca at just the right ti!"
"The Fu family's second son and his girlfriend! I can't believe we get to see them in person!"
"This trip was worth it, absolutely worth it!"
The once orderly Fu family villa had suddenly descended into chaos with the addition of just one person.
Madam Fu now felt grateful that the old master had retired to his bedroom for a nap; otherwise, her good-for-nothing son would have given him a heart attack.
She thought to herself, "If you wanted to bring your girlfriend ho, we as parents wouldn't have objected. Was it really necessary to ambush us like this without any warning?"
Having witnessed plenty of drama with Shi Li, Fu Huixing had a premonition that his cousin and this girlfriend of his definitely had issues. As for what kind of issues, it was likely the usual complications between n and won.
Huang Jie, as an outsider, noticed the tense atmosphere and quickly tried to smooth things over. "This must be your second son. He looks quite talented and handso."
Not knowing the Fu family's attitude towards their son's girlfriend, she refrained from praising them as a couple and only complinted the young man.
With Huang Jie breaking the ice, Madam Fu was able to continue the conversation and introduce the guests to her son.
"This is Uncle Shi and Aunt Huang. Shi Quan was your classmate once, rember? Uncle Shi is Shi Quan's second uncle. This is their daughter, whom Huixing recently helped out. They ca specifically to thank us."
Hearing that his cousin had perford a good deed, Second Young Master Fu beca interested. He sidled up to Fu Huixing and said, "Little bro, how did you help out? Tell your big brother all about it."
Fu Huixing replied simply, "It was nothing, just lending a hand."
"Fu Star, you're so modest!"
Sharp-eyed, Second Young Master Fu imdiately noticed the blush creeping up Fu Huixing's ears. "I haven't even praised you yet, and you're already blushing."
Hearing that Fu Huixing was blushing, Shi Li's interest was piqued. "Blushing? I haven't seen that before. Let take a look!"
"Ooh, look at that!" Second Young Master Fu had never seen his usually stoic cousin blush before, and now the redness was spreading from his ears to his face.
Second Young Master Fu felt quite accomplished, thinking he was quite amazing to make his little cousin blush so profusely.
Thanks to Second Young Master Fu's exclamations, Fu Huixing felt the gazes of everyone in the villa converge on his face. One gaze in particular felt especially intense.
"He really is red!"
"The pure and innocent little wolf pup is blushing in real-ti!"
"I have to say, Star does have so charm."
The more he was stared at, the redder Fu Huixing's face beca, and the redder it beca, the more everyone wanted to look.
Fu Huixing, who never usually drew any attention to himself, felt like a monkey in a zoo with everyone gawking at his bright red face.
While everyone was focused on Fu Huixing's blushing face, no one was paying attention to Second Young Master Fu's girlfriend. She felt a bit disgruntled but couldn't show it, not wanting to affect her image in Second Young Master Fu's eyes.
She deliberately made so noise to divert everyone's attention away from Fu Huixing.
Second Young Master Fu, whose brain worked a bit slower than most, suddenly realized he had forgotten about his girlfriend. He quickly moved to her side and asked, "Qian Qian, are you alright?"
Everyone present was sharp enough to see through the girl's little ploy. Only Second Young Master Fu, being in the thick of it, remained oblivious.
As for this unexpected daughter-in-law, Madam Fu's initial three-tenths dislike had now escalated to full-blown disapproval due to this small action.
She wondered where her foolish son had found such a girlfriend. Even if he had blindfolded himself and picked soone randomly off the street, he might not have ended up with soone worse.
"Second Young Master Fu, true to his na, he really is an idiot."
The heat in Fu Huixing's face was gradually subsiding. Hearing Shi Li's ntal jab at his cousin, he almost laughed out loud.
So things didn't need to be said aloud; those who understood, understood.
The fact that his second cousin was a bit dim seed to have beco a consensus.
His older cousin had once complained to him that his younger brother's brain wasn't fully functional, suspecting that when he was born, the doctor had forgotten to install his brain.
Madam Fu now found it hard to look at her own son without feeling annoyed. In her mind, she referred to them as "that wretched couple," not sparing even her own son from her ire.
She didn't want to give this couple any face, but with guests in the house, she couldn't air the family's dirty laundry.
It was embarrassing enough that her son had found such an unreliable girlfriend, but that was her son's problem, not hers. The sha was on him.
Coming from a distinguished family, she couldn't allow such a trivial matter to cause a rift with her son and provide entertainnt for outsiders.
At this point, she had to maintain her composure.
She decided to pretend that her son had been switched at birth in the hospital, and this wasn't really her son.
With this mindset, she suddenly felt less angry.
She could now face this wretched couple calmly.
Watching the interaction between Second Young Master Fu and this girl, Shi Li couldn't help but think to herself: "This girl is quite the actress."
Hearing Shi Li's thoughts, Fu Huixing had a hunch that this girl had probably cheated on his cousin, and if it was worse, it wasn't just once.
Having witnessed so much drama with Shi Li, Fu Huixing had even considered more serious possibilities.
For instance, his cousin's girlfriend might not actually be a girlfriend at all, but rather soone of the sa gender as his cousin.
But hearing Shi Li refer to her as a girl, Fu Huixing dismissed that particular theory.
"Corporate spy."
"High-level human trafficker."
Fu Huixing: ?!
"Twenty-six years old, with twenty years of experience in human trafficking."
