"You shouldn't have heard anything, right?" Ruan Li could hardly hide the guilt in her eyes.

Fu Huaizhou nodded slightly and looked at her, with no emotion in his eyes, "Guess for yourself."

When Ruan Li heard his threatening tone, she knew that he must have heard it. She chuckled and changed the subject, "When did the little uncle come? Why didn't I hear any movement? Is it because our family didn't treat him well? I'll go and discipline him now."

As she said this, she was about to leave by the person in front of her. Ruan Li had tried her best to stay away from Fu Huaizhou, but the man was like a wall, blocking her way to leave.

"What? You still want to beat the gongs and drums for me?"

Fu Huaizhou quietly squinted her eyes, as if waiting for her to explain.

Wherever he was, everyone's eyes were focused there. People who didn't know would think they were in a confrontation. After all, the atmosphere did seem a bit tense.

"Didn't Fu Huaizhou just return to China? How come he looks so familiar with her?"

Someone saw Fu Xingchuan coming in from the main hall and suddenly realized, "I borrowed Fu Xingchuan's light, but how can they be familiar with each other? Isn't it obvious that he is giving her a lecture?"

Ruan Li had already thought of eight hundred things in this minute. She suddenly had an idea and begged Fu Huaizhou for mercy in a low voice, "I'm talking about Fu Xingchuan. He is two years older than me and a little old. I definitely don't mean to offend you."

After she finished speaking, she took a breath. Anyway, Fu Huaizhou had known that she didn't want to marry Fu Xingchuan, so it didn't matter to say that.

Ruan Li silently said in her heart, thank you Fu Xingchuan, it's still useful.

Just after she finished her heart, she looked behind Fu Huaizhou and saw the protagonist she just mentioned. Out of humanitarianism, Ruan Li raised her lips and gave Fu Xingchuan a "kind" smile.

It was like playing the lute to a cow. Ruan Li retracted her eyes speechlessly and happened to meet the eyes of Fu Huaizhou who was looking down.

"Huh?" Ruan Li looked up at Fu Huaizhou who hadn't moved away yet. Why did she feel that after saying this, the man in front of her was no happier than before.

Ruan Li pointed at her finger awkwardly and glanced at him cautiously, "The banquet is about to start, little uncle... maybe my father will need to find me for something later?"

The man turned and left, and the air around him suddenly became much more active. Ruan Li took a deep breath.

"Awesome." Ye Mian walked up and gave her a thumbs up, "My legs are weak, the pressure from the third brother is too strong."

Ruan Li; "...whatever." Anyway, she still didn't understand why Fu Huaizhou's face didn't look better after she explained it. Maybe he just had an ice face.

Shi Xun, who had been acting as a background board next to him, blushed with embarrassment. After all, this was the first time he saw Fu Huaizhou being humiliated. Especially Ruan Li, who couldn't think straight.

Fu Xingchuan is two years older than her, so she said he was old. As Fu Xingchuan's uncle, the third brother is eight years older than Ruan Li, so he must be too old. But the man in front of him didn't react.

"You are awesome." He stepped forward and gave Ruan Li a thumbs up. "The last time the third brother had this expression was because we put mustard on the cake for his 18th birthday ceremony, so he could only eat a big bite because the camera was filming."

As they were chatting, the lights in the banquet hall suddenly dimmed, and the whole hall fell into silence. Then a soft white light shone on the second floor. The girl was wearing a specially customized white evening dress, and the servants helped her hold up the hem of her skirt.

Ruan Shu walked down slowly from upstairs, and the light followed her to illuminate the stairs inch by inch, like a real princess.

Until standing on the high platform in the hall, Ruan Cheng and Zhou Min stood on both sides of the girl, and the smiles on their faces were almost overflowing.

"Thank you all for coming in your best attire. I am so lucky that after all these years, I can still find my biological daughter." Ruan Cheng took Ruan Shu's hand, "Now I formally introduce this to you. This is my biological daughter, Ruan Shu."

Ruan Li noticed that Ye Mian took her hand and gently squeezed it a few times. The two looked at each other, and Ruan Li shook her head slowly. She had never taken herself for granted as the daughter of the Ruan family. She had been preparing herself psychologically for more than ten years, and she would not be more panicked now.

Some people at the banquet looked at her inadvertently. Ruan Li looked back one by one without any concealment, but suddenly bumped into a pair of dark eyes.

He only remembered that his uncle was still studying in China at that time, but he had no memory of the Ruan family.

Even if they can't marry into the Fu family, there are three other families in Beijing, all of which have unmarried men of marriageable age. The Ruan family will not miss these opportunities.

"It's time to dance the opening dance." Ruan Li suddenly spoke.
"It's time to dance the opening dance." Ruan Li suddenly spoke.
"It won't be Fu Xingchuan?" Ye Mian was a little impatient. There was no reason in the world for the sister's fiancé to dance the opening dance with the sister. "Wouldn't that be a slap in your face in public?"

A lady's invitation cannot be refused, especially the opening dance, which they have learned from their etiquette class since childhood.

"I heard that Mr. Shi is very skilled in dancing. I wonder if I can trouble you to dance the opening dance with my daughter today?" Ruan Cheng asked.

Shi Xun's face was stagnant. He really didn't expect that this matter would have anything to do with him, but now that so many people are staring at him, it is simply difficult to get off the tiger.

Ruan Li nodded in agreement. Although she couldn't see where Shi Xun danced badly, she learned to dance with the teacher invited by her family when she was a child, but Ye Mian and Shi Xun were different. Because the two families were neighbors, they were both taught by Shi Xun's brother.

Ruan Shu, on the other hand, must have hired someone to teach him during this period, just for tonight. As a result, anyone with eyes could see the footprints of the high heels on Shi Xun's leather shoes, which was horrible.

"Will Shi Xun be able to walk later?" Ruan Li felt sorry for him. It was really an unprovoked disaster.

Ye Mian snorted. The two were chatting when a figure appeared in front of them. He bent down slightly and stretched out his hand to Ruan Li.
