Chapter 183 The Fu Family

Li Zhu's portrait is a pig.

A pinkish-white piglet walking upright.

Fu Yuhua inexplicably recalled Wang Xiaobo's "A Pig That Stands Out from the Crowd," and then, thinking about Li Zhu's identity and experiences...

Yes, that's quite unconventional.

He's starting to look like an artist.

"Miss Fu, the tickets have been sent over. I hope it didn't disturb your rest."

Clearly, this is a very gentlemanly pig.

Fu Yuhua opened Li Zhu's information, thought for a moment, and added a two-word note.

[Lebanese Pig]

When I exited, I realized that I had accidentally tapped the "tap" button.

You patted Li Zhu's butt.

Li Zhu: ...

Li Zhu: My niece changed it when I went home last time, I'll change it back now.

Fu Yuhua: No need to change it, it feels pretty good anyway.

Li Zhu: ...?

Fu Yuhua: I mean, just kidding.

Fu Yuhua put her hand to her forehead. If you keep talking nonsense, it can easily become a verbal tic, and your mouth will be faster than your brain.

Looking at the replies on the screen, Li Zhu felt inexplicably that the girl on the other end of the internet seemed to have reverted to her pre-dinner self.

Logically, he should be displeased, since the two of them weren't familiar enough to talk like that.

But his truest emotional response indicated that he was not only not displeased, but even relieved.

At least she seems to have emerged from the shadow of that phone call at the dinner table.

Li Zhu thought for a moment and replied, "Miss Fu is very witty."

Then I said goodnight and started working.

Fu Yuhua replied with a "goodnight," and this time, she carefully clicked on the other person's profile picture. Looking at the little pink pig, she liked it more and more.

Because my accommodation wasn't far away, the front desk called shortly afterward, and then a waiter personally delivered the tickets to my room.

Fu Yuhua retrieved the tickets and returned to her room, heading towards the French windows.

She kicked off her slippers and stepped onto the thick plush carpet. Wearing a bathrobe, she held a wine glass in her left hand and the ticket in her right. Suddenly, she lightly touched them together and laughed.

"See you next week."

Song Ying was worried that Fu Yuhua would lose control and be ruined by Li Zhu—no offense meant, but Fu Yuhua was a seasoned veteran in love, while Li Zhu was rumored to be a naive and innocent girl.

It would be one thing if it were a stranger, and she could just pick the fruit, but Li Zhu was related to her by marriage and called Song Ying "sister-in-law," so she couldn't just sit idly by.

In contrast, Qin Shu was much more optimistic.

"He's not much younger than you or me, so he deserves to be interviewed. Besides, dating is about practicing, and there's no harm in practicing more. He hasn't looked for a partner for so many years, do you think my grandparents are worried?"

"So don't think too much about it. Instead of wasting time, you should take a good look at your husband. Who knows when you'll see him again after this trip to Nancheng?"

Despite now being the new head of the Qin family, Qin Shu still acts like a playful puppy in front of Song Ying.

For example, right now, as they were talking, she wrapped herself around him.

The moonlight was like water, ruffled by the spring breeze.

The following morning, Song Ying woke up naturally after a good night's sleep. She picked up her phone to check the time and just then received a picture from Li Zhu.

As expected of one of the most outstanding emerging photographers in China, the quality of the finished photos is extremely high. While highlighting the bride and groom's physical advantages and the wedding dress design, the photos also create a strong sense of atmosphere. Each photo is full of stories and has a very distinctive style.

Song Ying picked out a few photos and posted them on Weibo.

In less than ten minutes, it became a trending topic, turning into a purple "hot" search term.

[Waaaaah, the Winner and Loser couple are really good at keeping things quiet! They've already arranged the wedding dress, so the wedding can't be far behind!]

[Let's just say, when is the banquet?]

[Hey everyone, my wife is so sweet! But have you guys noticed? The photographer seems to be a super famous up-and-coming genius in the industry lately! It's VG's Li Zhu! This is practically a dream collaboration, right?!]

[More than just photography! Four of Yingbao's wedding dresses were custom-made by VIVA, and a few were handcrafted by SLOVEY!]

[Ask a question: What's so special about VIVA's wedding dresses?]

This wave of doubts stirred up a huge wave of discussion, prompting countless people to educate uninformed netizens about VIVA and its founder.

Meanwhile, in the southern part of the city.

Nanzhu Tower is the tallest landmark building in the entire southern part of the city, and it also has a common but true name - Fu's Tower.

The reason is simple: this landmark building is the private property of the Fu family. There are rumors that as long as the Nanzhu Pagoda stands, the Fu family will always be the pyramid of the southern city.

The entire floor at the top offers a panoramic view of the southern city. At this moment, Fu Yushu is sitting on a wooden chair with an antique-style tea table in front of him. Fu Yushu washes and brews tea, his slender fingers moving with ease and dexterity, every movement elegant.

Beneath his feet, more than two hundred meters above the ground, were a crowd of people as insignificant as ants and buildings that resembled hand-drawn figurines.

Fu Yushu stared intently at the tea in his hand, stopping when it was about seven-tenths full, and placed the walnut-sized teacup opposite him.

"Have some tea to cool down."

"What time is it now? Stop getting angry! Brother, did you not hear what I said? That bitch Fu Yuhua has now climbed up to the Qin family in the capital! I knew she was so arrogant on the phone yesterday, not taking us seriously at all! I didn't expect her to have grown wings now! The Qin family in the capital, do they really think the Fu family is afraid of them? If they really dare to back that little bitch up, none of us will have a good time!"

Fu Yuqi had no interest in drinking tea.

He spoke angrily, growing angrier the more he looked at his brother's nonchalant demeanor.

Fu Yushu brewed tea for himself without raising his head, his voice calm and composed, like Song and Bai.

He said, "Stop calling her a 'little bitch,' you should call her 'sister.'"

"Who does she think she is, our sister!" Fu Yuqi snorted, then suddenly remembered something and plopped down in the empty seat opposite Fu Yuqi, looking wary. "Brother, are you starting to feel sorry for that girl because she's getting prettier and prettier?"

Fu Yushu picked up the teacup, held it in front of him, closed his eyes and took a light sniff. "I don't lack women, and I don't have any incestuous fetishes."

"I think so too..."

Fu Yuqi belatedly realized that what she had said was outrageous, "Looking around Nancheng, what kind of women don't you have, brother? All kinds of women, plump or slender, are rushing to get close to you. What is Fu Yuhua compared to that!"

"Drink some tea to cool down."

Fu Yushu opened his eyes and pushed the teacup in front of him forward. "I don't want to say the same thing a second time, nor do I want to hear it a second time."

The fire in Fu Yuqi's heart could not be extinguished by a cup of tea.

Besides, he didn't think he needed to calm down; he had to be wary of that little bitch Fu Yuhua! Whatever she wanted to do back here, he couldn't let her have a good life in Nancheng!

Nancheng belongs to the Fu family, but the Fu in this Fu family is the Fu of Fu Yushu and Fu Yuqi, not the Fu of Fu Yuhua!

He was able to drive Fu Yuhua out of Nancheng back then, and he can do it now too!

A surge of anger rose in Fu Yuqi's heart, and an idea slowly began to emerge in his mind.

He was about to speak when he met Fu Yushu's scrutinizing gaze, and his heart sank.

Tea cannot reduce internal heat, but Fu Yushu can.

Fu Yuqi took a deep breath, picked up the teacup on the table, and, ignoring that it was still a little hot, drank it all in one gulp.

The fine purple clay teacup was knocked onto the tea table, where it collided with the solid wood table made of a giant root, producing a dull thud.

"I've had the tea. Since you're not going to get involved in this matter, I won't say any more. I have other things to do, so I'll be leaving now. You can continue with your work, brother."

Fu Yuqi left in silence.

Behind him, Fu Yushu watched his retreating figure and took a sip of the fragrant tea.

"What a waste of my good tea."

Only after Fu Yuqi's figure disappeared from sight did Fu Yushu turn his gaze to his assistant, who was dressed in a suit.

"Investigate the relationship between that girl and the Qin family, the more detailed the better—also, send someone to follow Yuqi, to prevent him from acting impulsively and causing trouble."
