Chapter 98 Preparing the Betrothal Gifts
98
Nowadays, there aren't many people that Jiang Siyu values, and the Fu family's existence is quite special, so Bo Siye would naturally make preparations in advance.
The two got into the car and headed towards the Fu family's residence. The car drove for a short while before arriving at the Fu family's house.
The Jiang family and the Fu family lived not far apart, so Jiang Dingbang could naturally see everything that happened in front of the Fu family's house.
When Jiang Dingbang realized that Jiang Siyu might be the one who took Bo Siye to visit the Fu family, his heart was shattered into a thousand pieces.
His biological daughter brought her boyfriend home not to see him, her father, but to seek revenge.
Is this karma?!
Jiang Dingbang was filled with deep regret, but it was too late for him to undo the damage.
He wondered, if he had helped Jiang Siyu investigate back then and found out who killed Old Master Song, would everything have been different...?
Overwhelmed with remorse, Jiang Dingbang finally collapsed again, and his bodyguards had no choice but to rush him to the hospital.
Unlike the Jiang family, who were shrouded in gloom, the Fu family was just a few hundred meters away.
After learning from Fu Lin that Jiang Siyu was bringing Bo Siye home today, Fu's parents got up early to prepare.
Although they had agreed to come at noon, the two of them kept checking the door from time to time early in the morning. Fu Lin was speechless as she slumped on the sofa and watched them come and go.
I already dragged her out of bed early in the morning, and now I have to make her wait in the living room with me, just in case Jiang Siyu and Bo Siye arrive early and I don't get to entertain them properly.
Fu Lin was eating strawberries and was about to persuade her parents to come back and rest when she received a call from Jiang Siyu.
After listening to Jiang Siyu's words, she placed the fruit plate on the table and then said to the two people heading towards the door:
"Dad, Mom, Ayu said they went to the Jiang family to take care of some things, so they might have to come home a little early. They asked if it would be too much of a disturbance for you two?"
"No, how could that be!" Upon hearing this, Fu's mother quickly walked over to Fu Lin and took her phone.
"Little Ayu~" Fu's mother's voice was so gentle that Fu Lin silently shivered.
Jiang Siyu softened her voice as well: "Auntie, I'm sorry to bother you and Uncle so early."
"Don't bother me, don't bother me. Auntie missed you so much." After saying this affectionately, Aunt Fu's voice turned slightly worried, remembering that Jiang Siyu had just come from the Jiang family's place.
"You weren't mistreated at the Jiang family's house, were you?"
Jiang Siyu replied, "No, no one can make me suffer."
"That's good." Aunt Fu was relieved. "Is your uncle waiting for you and...Mr. Bo at the door?"
Fu Ma wasn't sure if Bo Siye had also arrived ahead of schedule.
“I’m here,” Jiang Siyu replied.
"Okay, then when we get home, Auntie will cook you wontons for breakfast, okay?"
"Okay." Jiang Siyu naturally thought so; how could she not feel good about being cared for?
After hanging up the phone, the car entered the Fu family's house.
After Jiang Siyu and Bo Siye got out of the car, they went to greet Fu's father, who was waiting at the door.
"Uncle." Jiang Siyu greeted Fu's father first, then introduced Bo Siye to him:
"Bo Siye, my boyfriend."
Bo Siye smiled sweetly: "Hello Uncle Fu, I am Ayu's boyfriend, Bo Siye."
As he got out of the car and was about to hand the keys to Bo Siye's driver/bodyguard: "..."
Is this your own boss?
Unsure, let me take another look.
Yes, it's confirmed, it's his own boss... but his obedient appearance is somewhat of a disillusionment with his usual cold and aloof image.
After Bo Siye and Fu's father finished their initial flattery, the driver handed the keys to Bo Siye and drove off.
After those few words, Fu's father's fear of Bo Siye had vanished. He led the two into the house, saying as they went:
"Bo Xilai is young and accomplished, which is admirable."
Bo Siye smiled modestly: "Uncle Fu was also an object of admiration for countless people when he was young. I am no match for Uncle Fu."
"Hey, you actually know about my past?"
Back then, the Fu family was indeed led to its rise to power by Fu's father. However, times change, and the glory of the past has been submerged in the long river of time.
Now he's just an old man enjoying the blessings of his daughter.
Bo Siye: "Ayu has mentioned it many times, and said that you and Auntie are very good at teaching children, otherwise Fu Lin would not have achieved what she has today."
The entertainment industry is tough, and without the support of capital, it's almost impossible to make a name for yourself.
Fu Lin's rise to the top is indeed due to her own abilities; Jiang Siyu's later support was merely icing on the cake.
"It's also because Arlene is such a filial child..."
The two chatted non-stop, one saying a word after the other, leaving Jiang Siyu and Fu Lin, who were watching, unable to get a word in edgewise.
"Great job!" Fu Lin said silently to Jiang Siyu, then gave her a thumbs up.
Fu's father wasn't a talkative person, but ever since he met Bo Siye, he hadn't stopped talking, leaving his daughter Fu Lin speechless.
Jiang Siyu remained relatively calm. Bo Siye simply didn't need to please anyone; otherwise, with his methods, no one could escape his control.
When Fu's mother, who was busy in the kitchen, came out and saw Fu's father and Bo Siye chatting so happily, the tension she felt because of Bo Siye's identity disappeared.
"Ayu, does President Bo have any dietary restrictions?" Fu's mother asked Jiang Siyu, who was sitting next to Fu Lin, eating melon seeds and watching the commotion.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Siyu shook her head: "Bo Siye is not picky about food."
“I’m really not a picky eater; I love everything Ayu likes to eat.” Bo Siye stopped talking to Fu’s father and smiled at Fu’s mother:
"Auntie, just call me Xiaoye. That's what all the elders in my family call me."
One sentence instantly shortened the distance between him and Fu Ma, and Fu Ma looked at Bo Siye with satisfaction.
He thought to himself, "With such a demeanor, it's no wonder he became the head of Fanyu at such a young age."
"In that case, I'll go to the kitchen and get busy. You and your uncle can chat."
"Okay, thank you, Auntie." Bo Siye didn't stand on ceremony; sometimes, guests should act like guests.
However, Fu's father didn't chat with Bo Siye for long. He guessed that Fu's mother had prepared the filling, so he went into the kitchen to help.
Jiang Siyu was a little unaccustomed to the sudden silence in the living room. She looked at Bo Siye, who was relieved, and smiled with her eyes crinkling.
"Is Mr. Bo very nervous?"
Before this, she hadn't noticed that Bo Siye was nervous.
"Mainly, it's been a long time since I've chatted with my elders like this." Bo Siye held Jiang Siyu's hand with a hint of grievance, tilting his head towards her side.
"Ayu, does this count as us meeting our elders?"
Jiang Siyu raised an eyebrow, glanced at the seriousness in his eyes, and then smiled after a moment:
"ah."
She nodded her head: "Prepare the betrothal gifts."
"..."
Bo Siye seemed unable to believe what he had heard, and his grip on Jiang Siyu's hand tightened involuntarily.
But Jiang Siyu did not avoid his burning gaze; her eyes held only a tenderness and determination that captivated him.
