The Ye family and the Fu family had never crossed paths before. Li Xueqing had only met Fu Yanci a few times when she visited the Zhou family.
At first, all I knew was that he was Mrs. Zhou's cousin, and that he was aloof and difficult to approach.
Just a few years after he returned from studying abroad, he swiftly and decisively became the head of the Fu Group, thus becoming the unapproachable "Master Fu" in the elite circles of the capital.
The sense of distance between Li Xueqing and Li Xueqing grew even stronger.
Unexpectedly, Fu Yanci, though aloof in private, was actually very easy to talk to.
He was nothing like the cold and ruthless Master Fu from the rumors.
"Come in and sit down..."
As she greeted them, seeing Fu Yanci's gaze linger on Ye Li, Li Xueqing pointed at Ye Li and introduced her, "Yanci, this is my daughter, A-Li. I've seen her a few times at the Zhou family home when we were little, you remember, right?"
"Remember."
Fu Yanci nodded, then looked at Ye Li, his eyes filled with a smile.
Ye Li: ...
"Sister Lan, I'll go make coffee. You wash some fruit... Ali, you talk to Yanci for a while."
Li Xueqing pulled Aunt Lan away to get busy.
Xiang Yang put his things down and left.
The living room fell silent. Their eyes met, and they both asked in unison, "Why are you here?"
Ye Li raised an eyebrow. "This is my home, why can't I come?"
"This is my mother-in-law's house!"
Fu Yanci smiled warmly, "It's still my wife's house, so it's practically my home. Why can't I come? Besides, my mother-in-law was discharged from the hospital today, so I had to come and see her."
Hearing him mention his mother-in-law and wife repeatedly, Ye Li, fearing her mother might overhear, hurriedly covered his mouth.
Fu Yanci grabbed her hand and kissed her palm.
!!
Like a spring, Ye Li sprang up from the sofa and went to sit in a place far away from Fu Yanci.
Li Xueqing brought out the coffee and immediately saw Fu Yanci sitting at one end of the sofa and Ye Li sitting at the other end.
He handed a black coffee to Fu Yanci.
The milk tea was handed to Ye Li.
Li Xueqing looked up at Fu Yanci and asked, "Yanci, when did your sister and the others move? I remember Minghui said that they were quite happy living here and didn't plan to move."
Zhou Hechen's mother, Fu Minghui, is Fu Yanci's half-sister.
When Fu Yanci was in his teens, the Zhou family looked down on him, thinking that since his father had died early and his mother was not around, and he was such an aloof person, he would only end up as a playboy who would get a share of the profits and live a life of debauchery in the Fu family.
Therefore, Fu Minghui's husband, Zhou Jinrui, never thought of getting along well with his younger brother, Fu Yanci.
Instead, she became closer to Fu Mingzhen, the eldest son of the Fu family.
But no one expected that Fu Mingzhen would die young.
Fu Yanci took over the Fu Group from Old Master Fu and eventually became the youngest head of the Fu family.
Zhou Jinrui was filled with remorse.
But it's too late to try and get close to Fu Yanci again!
“A new residential complex opened in the west of the city, and it's under the Zhou family's name. They moved there.”
Fu Yanci glanced at Ye Li, lying without batting an eye.
"I see..."
Li Xueqing agreed, picking up her phone. "Minghui is really something, not even telling me about her housewarming. I need to have a good talk with her..."
Seeing her mother open WeChat and make a video call, Ye Li stood up anxiously.
Before she could even extend her hand, she saw Fu Yanci shake his head at her.
beep.
Dudu.
Beep beep beep.
The phone rang for a long time without being answered. Li Xueqing hung up the phone and turned to Fu Yanci. "Yanci, why don't you stay for dinner?"
dinner?
Only then did Ye Li realize that it was already evening, and she hurriedly turned around to give Fu Yanci a wink.
Fu Yanci nodded.
Ye Li breathed a sigh of relief.
The man looked at Li Xueqing with a gentle expression, "Alright. Well... I'm sorry to trouble you!"
"No trouble at all... Sister Lan, I'll make the honey-glazed pork ribs myself..."
Happily agreeing, Li Xueqing turned and went to the kitchen.
Ye Li angrily stepped forward to confront Fu Yanci, but as soon as she got close, the man pulled her into his arms.
