The Fu family's old residence.
At Fu Shiqin's suggestion, Gu Weiwei arranged to meet Ling Jiao under the pretext of discussing movie script roles.
Ling Jiao readily agreed, saying she would confirm the meeting time with her after finishing her work.
Fu Shiqin pounded his chest in anger when he saw that his sister-in-law had arranged to meet him with just a few WeChat messages without even making a phone call.
"People say she values romance over friendship, what do you call that?"
“I’ve been trying to meet her for a week, and she keeps saying she’s too busy with work. But she’ll come out as soon as you ask her out.”
...
"I asked her out under the pretext of work," Gu Weiwei emphasized, but there was still a bit of idol aura involved.
Fu Shiqin eased his heartache and asked.
"So...where did you agree to meet?"
Gu Weiwei thought for a moment, then smiled slyly and said...
"Let's meet near the Fu Group. After we've finished talking, you can go see her, whether it's for a date or to take her home, it's fine."
"I happen to be meeting your brother as well."
...
Fu Shiqin wholeheartedly agreed, "Sister-in-law, you are so wise."
While meeting Ling Jiao and helping her with her schemes, she also made sure to create opportunities for him to go on dates.
Fu Hanzheng reminded him, "Have Lei Ning take you there."
"Given that you and Ling Jiao are both public figures, let's meet at a coffee shop near the company. I own it, and I'll have someone clear out the place for you," Fu Shiqin said.
Her meeting with Ling Jiao would definitely attract a crowd of onlookers.
Gu Weiwei nodded in agreement. If she and Ling Jiao met outside, they would likely become the subject of public attention, and they wouldn't be able to leave.
Fu Hanzheng checked the time and urged Fu Shiqin to hurry up.
"It's time to go."
Fu Shiqin hurriedly stuffed two pieces of shumai into his mouth, got up and followed him to the company.
Gu Weiwei spent some time with the two children, and while Fu Shengying and Kaman Dorrance took them out for a walk, she went to her study to work on the script.
In the afternoon, as soon as Ling Jiao finished her work, she called her.
"Mrs. Fu, where would be a convenient place for us to meet?"
"A coffee shop near the Fu Group, would it be convenient for you to go there?" Gu Weiwei asked, setting up a meeting place with Fu Shiqin, just as they had agreed upon.
“That’s convenient, I’ll head over there now,” Ling Jiao said.
Gu Weiwei said as she walked downstairs.
"Okay, I'm ready to go too."
She changed into a dress, put on a hat, and asked Lei Ning to take her to the Fu Group.
She had just arrived at the coffee shop when Ling Jiao also rushed over, wearing a hat and mask, probably to avoid being recognized.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
"I just arrived too, what would you like to drink?" Gu Weiwei said, handing her the menu.
Ling Jiao ordered a latte and sat facing her as they spoke.
"Mrs. Fu, I've actually been wanting to see you again, but it's really not easy to see you."
"Stop calling me Mrs. Fu. Shi Qin calls me sister-in-law. You can call me sister-in-law like him."
"This... isn't quite appropriate," Ling Jiao said with a forced laugh.
"What's inappropriate about it? We'll be family sooner or later," Gu Weiwei said with a smile.
Ling Jiao smiled and stuck to her idea.
"I think it's more appropriate for me to call you Mrs. Fu."
Gu Weiwei sighed inwardly. She was unwilling to call him "sister-in-law" like Fu Shiqin did, which probably meant she never intended to marry him.
But if two people are clearly boyfriend and girlfriend, isn't it natural to talk about marriage when things reach a certain point?
Moreover, Fu Shiqin is not bad in terms of conditions, yet she doesn't seem to want to marry him, which makes things a bit difficult.
