The three sat far apart, especially Fu Mengyao, who was sitting on the sofa and crying softly.

Su Mei's heart sank. She had a feeling that nothing good could come of Fu Mengyao's presence.

Qiao Yanzhi and Fu Xiuchen sat on the main sofa.

Su Mei looked around, somewhat puzzled. Where was Master Xiao?

"Miss Tang, please have a seat," Qiao Yanzhi said.

Tang Yaoyao glanced at the sofa, and finally, without the slightest fear, walked towards Fu Xiuchen, sat down beside him, and called out with a sweet and obedient smile, "Brother Chen~"

Fu Mengyao: "..."

Her hands clenched into fists. She was always calm and composed in her actions, never leaving any room for doubt. This was the first time she had lost her composure like this, and she felt an urge to tear her apart.

How could she do that?

Just ten minutes ago, she was sitting in her fourth brother's lap, chatting and laughing, with a seductive air. Now, she can sit next to her eldest brother with ease, her eyes sparkling like stars, as if he is the only one in her heart and mind.

At that moment, she finally understood why Tang Yaoyao could climb so quickly in the entertainment industry.

Her acting was so good that she fooled everyone.

Tang Yaoyao looked at her mother, smiled and said, "Ms. Qiao, my agent and I came to say goodbye. We've been bothering you these past few days."

Qiao Yanzhi did not answer her, but gently pursed her lips and called out, "Yaoyao."

Fu Mengyao looked at her mother, her eyes filled with reluctance, but in an instant, they turned into sincerity. She stood up and walked step by step toward Tang Yaoyao.

Tang Yaoyao sat motionless in the chair, her posture composed and her smile charming.

Fu Mengyao walked lightly to her side, lowered her head slightly, clasped her hands together at her lower abdomen, and said in a very soft voice, "Miss Tang, thank you for not pursuing the mistakes I made to you in Blue City. I have thought about it for a long time these days, and I was indeed wrong back then."

I apologized to her under my mother's urging. I must say, the Fu family's upbringing is indeed quite good.

Even though her mother was angry before because she wanted to go into Grape's room, she can now act as if nothing happened and demand that her daughter apologize for what she did wrong.

Fu Mengyao didn't hear her speak. She gently bit her lip and said, "I thought a lot in the Buddhist hall. When I was little, I would scold my second brother because he didn't like me. When I grew up, I would scare you because my eldest brother doted on you so much that you almost died in the elevator. I was too jealous. I will reflect on my mistakes in the future and not make the same mistakes again."

"Is Miss Fu truly apologizing to me?"

With tears welling up in her eyes, Fu Mengyao spoke with great emotion: "I am sincere. I thought I would never leave the Buddhist temple again in my life. It was you who disregarded past grievances and persuaded my elder brother to give me my freedom again. This time, I will cherish it."

She smiled and said, "You said it yourself, I won't hold a grudge."

Fu Mengyao was surprised that she was so easy to talk to, and for a moment, she didn't know what else to say.

Qiao Yanzhi watched the subtle interaction between the two, thoughtfully fanning herself with her small fan.

Looking at Fu Mengyao, Su Mei had to admit that if Fu Mengyao were to become an actress, she would definitely become a huge star. If she hadn't heard that Fu Mengyao had a big fight with Mr. Fu because of Yao Ge, her current appearance would really make people feel that she had laid down her sword and turned back to the right path.

Tang Yaoyao lazily crossed her legs, staring at her intently, raising an eyebrow with a somewhat flirtatious expression.

After yawning, she said lazily, "I've heard that if you hold a grudge against someone, you'll unconsciously become unhappy. Since you're unhappy, your expression won't be good either, and over time, you'll definitely develop wrinkles."

As she said this, the women in the room, including the maid, subconsciously showed faint smiles, making their facial expressions look less awkward.

Fu Mengyao didn't understand why she was saying all this.

Then, Tang Yaoyao said slowly, "You must remember that I forgave you not because I am kind, nor because you are sincere, but because of my beauty."

Su Mei couldn't help but chuckle.

Fu Xiuchen remained expressionless, but her words stirred something within him, softening his gaze with a mixture of helplessness and doting affection.

Fu Mengyao's expression stiffened for a moment: "No matter what, Miss Tang has already forgiven me. Thank you for giving me a chance to make amends."

She nodded gently, her smile poised and graceful, and looked at Qiao Yanzhi: "Since there's nothing else, Su Mei and I will be leaving now."

Qiao Yanzhi fiddled with her fan: "Miss Tang, Yao Yao hasn't finished speaking yet, so let's not rush her."

"Oh, I'm all ears."

"I went to find you just now to apologize, but you were seducing my fourth brother. The scene was too disgusting to describe..."

Fu Mengyao took a deep breath, her eyes turning sharp. At this moment, she looked down at her like a high-flying swan: "Since you are my brother's girlfriend, how could you do such a thing? I am indignant on behalf of my brother, and you must apologize to him."

So that's the key point.

Tang Yaoyao turned to look at her older brother, blinked, her eyes as pure and beautiful as could be, and asked softly, "Brother Chen, do you believe what she said?"

Fu Mengyao was not flustered by her counter-question, and pressed on aggressively: "Big brother, how could I slander her if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes? You believe she is an actress! Deep affection, indifference or sadness are all within her capabilities. There is no role she can't play, only role she doesn't want to play."

"So, Miss Fu is a fan of mine." Tang Yaoyao suddenly realized, looked at Su Mei, and said lazily, "Beauty, give her an autographed photo of me."

"yes."

Qiao Yanzhi's gaze remained fixed on Tang Yaoyao's face the entire time. She had intended to find a flaw, but she discovered that there was no sign of panic on Tang Yaoyao's beautiful face, as if Yaoyao was truly slandering her.

"No need," Fu Mengyao refused firmly.

Su Mei shrugged and didn't hand it to her.

Tang Yaoyao smiled slightly, playing with her fingernails: "It's understandable that Miss Fu would misunderstand, after all, I'm your eldest brother's girlfriend, yet I'm in a room with your fourth brother."

"I saw it with my own eyes, you were sitting in his lap, how could it be a misunderstanding?" Fu Mengyao apologized very sincerely before, but as soon as it came to Xiao Jinhan, she immediately lost that uniquely ruthless composure.

Fu Xiuchen's eyes were icy, and his voice was deep and cold: "Yao'er, is what Yao Yao said true?"

She paused in playing with her fingernails, a sly glint in her eyes.

The time to really put on an act has arrived!

Lost in thought, her expression turned somewhat sad, as if she couldn't believe that Fu Xiuchen would doubt her. She turned around and asked, "Brother Chen, are you questioning me?"

P.S.: Earlier, it was mentioned that Fourth Brother rubbed the little fox's web between his thumb and forefinger on the back of his hand (you might unconsciously make this small gesture if you really like someone; this is a detail, pay attention, it will be on the test!).
