Perhaps many people are now filled with regret. Back then, no one had high hopes for Su Yuxi, who was known for her beauty, but now she has become someone that others can only dream of.
All they felt was jealousy and envy.
Despite the uproar outside, Su Yuxi, as the person involved, was completely unaware of these events. She lived her own little life every day, and in her spare time, she and Wan Qianqian plotted how to sell their batch of jewelry.
She only felt at ease when she converted the jewelry into digital currency.
After staying up past six o'clock in the evening, Fu Huaijin led his men to the Fu family's old residence.
The old house was brightly lit, and the outside was decorated with many dreamy little colored lights. Servants were busy going back and forth, and the atmosphere was lively, as if some great joy was about to be celebrated.
The two walked in hand in hand, and were somewhat puzzled by the scene before them.
The old lady had been waiting at the door ever since she learned they were coming in.
Upon seeing the two figures, she walked briskly towards them with the help of the housekeeper.
This time, the old lady's gaze was not on her grandson beside her, but on Su Yuxi, who looked slightly nervous and confused.
She squeezed between the two of them, forcefully pulled their hands apart, and then took Su Yuxi's soft little hand, patting it gently: "Xixi is here. You must be starving. The food will be ready soon."
"Don't be nervous. Today is just a normal dinner party. Just treat it like you're at home."
"Come on, come on, your grandpa is getting impatient. Ever since he found out about you, he's been talking about wanting you to come see him every day. So, after waiting for several days without any sign of you coming, he just called you over."
Su Yuxi's gaze swept lightly over the slightly withered hands. She resisted the urge to pull away and chuckled, "I understand."
The last time I came here was just for work, but now that I'm your girlfriend, I feel a little uneasy and uncomfortable.
I still remember the first time I met Lu Yunzhou's mother. That woman spoke with barbs and sarcasm, and her eyes would occasionally flash a mocking look at me. She was extremely arrogant and contemptuous of me.
The two disliked each other from their first meeting, and were very critical of each other, but at that time Lu Yunzhou helped her solve the problems, and she was too lazy to care.
This old lady... seems quite satisfied with herself.
Her tense nerves gradually relaxed, and her smile became even sweeter.
The old lady looked at her with great satisfaction, and she liked her more and more the more she looked at her.
"Grandma, let's go." Fu Huaijin couldn't help but remind her, otherwise, she didn't know how long she would keep watching like this.
The old lady then seemed to wake from a dream, her eyes filled with self-reproach. She slapped her forehead in annoyance, saying, "Look at my memory, you old lady! Come on, let's go inside quickly."
As the three of them slowly walked into the spacious and magnificent hall, Su Yuxi was astonished by the scene. Wasn't she just here to see the old lady and have a quick meal?
Why are there so many people in the living room... a chaotic mess, I'd estimate there must be at least sixty or seventy.
Her heart jumped instantly. She had never encountered such a big scene before. She reached out and tugged at Fu Huaijin's sleeve, her expression slightly stiff, unsure of what to do.
Fu Huaijin frowned when he saw so many people. He looked at the bustling relatives in the room and had no idea that his grandmother had called so many people.
The old lady was perceptive and noticed the young couple's resistance. She quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Oh, it's just that there are a lot of people here today, it's alright. Everyone wants to come and see our Xixi."
She turned her gaze to Su Yuxi and reassured her, "Don't worry, Yuxi, the uncles and elders are all very kind and easy to talk to. Don't be nervous."
The old lady spoke eloquently, then turned her head and glared at them, as if warning them not to frighten her granddaughter-in-law.
The group, who had been so calm just moments before, immediately raised the corners of their mouths and put on polite smiles, just so they wouldn't frighten the young girl who had just entered. If they really scared her, the old lady would hold them accountable later.
Looking at those faces filled with forced smiles, Su Yuxi felt even more uneasy.
Every person sitting here is a big shot in Shengjing. Many of them have been seen on TV. Their every move can affect the affairs of Shengjing. Others would have to beg and plead to meet them. Now they are all gathered together, smiling at her. Why does she feel so terrified?
She took a deep breath, trying to act like any other elder in her family, and waved to everyone with a smile: "Hello everyone, I'm Su Yuxi."
The name Su Yuxi might just pass by the elders in the family, after all, they are all very busy people and they don't bother to pay attention to entertainment news on the Internet.
But the younger generation loves surfing the internet the most. As for Su Yuxi's famous name, not to mention anything else, just the recent uproar about two men fighting over one woman, her money-grubbing simp persona, and her previous cheating incident, Su Yuxi has been the talk of the town these past few days.
Everyone knows about these things, but we can't talk about them here today, especially not in front of the old lady. You can see how much she likes this new granddaughter-in-law. It makes sense, since her most beloved grandson has finally found someone.
The old lady suppressed her smile, ignoring the strange looks in their eyes, and said to everyone, "Alright, everyone's here. Hurry up and sit down at the table. There are so many people, Xixi might not recognize everyone. Just take good care of her when you see her in the future."
It must be said that the old lady was quite considerate, defusing an awkward greeting for her.
The old lady gave her instructions, and what could anyone say but nod silently?
She had just finished scolding everyone, but when she turned to the little girl, she immediately put on a smiling face: "Xixi, come and sit at the main table with Grandma. Let those rascals sit somewhere else."
Su Yuxi had no choice but to follow, with Fu Huaijin following closely behind.
They had barely sat down when the old man came out of the study with the others.
The people who had just sat down stood up again without prior arrangement and respectfully greeted the old man.
Seeing that everyone else had stood up, Su Yuxi realized it wasn't very polite for her to remain seated, so she belatedly stood up as well. She didn't call out to anyone else, but instead blinked and looked in that direction.
She saw an old man dressed in a simple Tang suit. When their eyes met, the old man's serious and solemn face suddenly broke into a big smile.
Su Yuxi greeted her warmly, returning the greeting with an equally warm smile.
But everyone present was quite frightened. The old man was usually dignified and imposing, exuding an aura of authority wherever he went. He had never smiled at the younger generation like that before.
It's a rare sight these days, and they only got to see the old man perform Peking Opera face-changing because of that little girl.
