Chapter 875 A Big Surprise at the Birthday Banquet
Looking at her mother who had abandoned her son after getting a daughter-in-law, Fu Nian'an's expression was indescribable.
Fu Siyan walked behind his son and gently patted his shoulder with his large hand. "This kind of situation will be the norm in the future, son. You have to learn to adapt."
Fu Nian'an: "..."
Chu Xing opened the trunk and asked Fu Nian'an, "Young Master Fu, shall we take these gifts inside now, Madam?"
"Hmm, there's quite a lot. You can ask someone to help you."
Fu Siyan raised an eyebrow slightly: "Prepared by Yanyan?"
“Hmm,” Fu Nian’an said, “I said no, but she insisted on preparing it.”
Fu Siyan gripped the armrest of the wheelchair. "He's a sensible and good child. He's thoughtful."
...
The living room was bustling with activity.
Everyone sat down in the living room. To Le Yan’s right was Shen Qing Shu, and to her left was Shen An Ning.
Le Yan was stunned when she saw Shen Anning appear at the Fu family's residence.
Shen Anning's true identity has been exposed, and she has taken the initiative to confess everything.
Le Yan was shocked to learn that Shen Anning was Fu Nian'an's twin sister.
The main reason is that Shen Anning and Fu Nian'an have different surnames, one taking the mother's surname and the other the father's surname, making it difficult for most people to connect them.
Now that she learned that Shen Anning was Fu Nian'an's sister, even the slow-witted Le Yan began to realize what was going on.
Shen Qingshu also took the initiative to confess that she was the chairman of Huanxing who had stepped down behind the scenes.
After all, we'll be family from now on, so it's best to be honest about some things as soon as possible.
“Yangyang, Xiaoning and I meant well. Before, you and Nian'an hadn't confirmed your relationship, so we didn't dare to meet you rashly, for fear that you would feel guilty.”
She glanced at Shen Anning, then at Shen Qingshu.
"So, it's because of Nian'an that you helped me with the lawsuit, and isn't the Huanxing contract also because of...?"
"Hey, that's not right! This isn't my brother's doing!" Shen Anning quickly retorted, "At first, my brother was so arrogant that he refused to admit he had feelings for you. It was my mom who went to see my brother that time and accidentally bumped into you there. My mom had a very good impression of you and wanted to bring you home right away, but she was afraid that being too enthusiastic would scare you away, so we had no choice but to resort to this!"
Le Yan blinked, took a moment to process what she was saying, "But, at that time, Nian An and I had only known each other for a short time. I went to see him because he had helped me, and I went to thank him. Then my cat accidentally ran inside, and I went to look for the cat!"
“But you and my brother just happen to be neighbors, and you just happened to run into my mother when you went to see my brother, so it’s all fate!” Shen Anning looked at Le Yan and laughed, “Also, before you, no woman could get close to my brother, let alone let a woman go to his private apartment.”
"Really?" Le Yan frowned, remembering someone. "But I've seen Miss Gong go to his apartment before, haven't I? I thought he and Miss Gong were a couple back then!"
Fu Siyan had just pushed Fu Nian'an into the living room when he heard Le Yan's words. Before he could react, he received two accusing stares—
Shen Qingshu and Shen Anning stared at Fu Nian'an, their eyes seeming to say: You better explain what's going on.
Fu Nian'an: "..."
Sometimes, having a wife who is too naive isn't a good thing.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit off, Le Yan asked somewhat uneasily, "Did I say something wrong?"
Shen Qingshu gently patted Le Yang's hand, "Yang Yang, you're right. If you hadn't told us, we wouldn't have known that Nian An and Miss Gong had this story!"
Fu Nian'an: "..."
"No..." Le Yan said anxiously, "That's not what I meant. Miss Gong and Nian An met to discuss business. Later, Nian An explained things to Miss Gong, and they haven't met privately since!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingshu and Shen Anning immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Fu Nian'an performed admirably!
Fu Nian'an herself breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Le Yan with a wry smile, saying, "Yan Yan, don't speak so dramatically in the future."
Le Yan: "..."
"Alright, alright, I'm relieved since it was a misunderstanding." Shen Qingshu smiled and patted Le Yan's head. "Yan Yan, are you hungry? Nian An said you usually drink plain porridge for dinner. I just cooked some, would you like me to serve you a bowl?"
Le Yan felt a warmth in her heart. "Thank you, Auntie. I'm not hungry. I'll join everyone later."
"Okay, the birthday dinner tonight is with family, so don't be shy, just relax."
Le Yan nodded, "Okay, thank you, Auntie."
Shen Qingshu looked at Le Yan and liked her more and more.
Especially her face, it's even more stunning than what you see on TV!
The camera cannot fully capture Le Yan's beauty.
Shen Qingshu couldn't help but wish that Le Yan and her son could have a child, whether it was a boy or a girl, their looks would definitely be stunning.
Unfortunately, fate was cruel to Le Yan; such a good girl was subjected to one hardship after another.
Is it really true that beautiful women have short lives?
Shen Qingshu felt increasingly uneasy as she thought about it.
It's not disappointment, it's heartache.
As a woman, she understands the obsession women have with bearing and giving birth to offspring. This is not only an innate physiological influence on women, but also an influence from societal perceptions of women throughout history.
It's always a little regrettable for a woman not to be able to conceive a new life with the person she loves.
Since seeking medical help has yielded no results, the only option left is to try praying to the gods.
Shen Qingshu thought about going to Qingyuan Mountain another day when she had time.
...
Everyone in the Fu family treated Le Yan very well, and the atmosphere was even more harmonious than Le Yan, and even Fu Nian'an herself had imagined.
Dinner is served promptly at 6:00.
Everyone went to the back garden.
The trees in the back garden were covered with LED strip lights, and a large tent was set up on the lawn. Shen Anning's twins were playing inside the tent, and the children's laughter echoed intermittently in the back garden.
At a long table covered with a tablecloth, amidst food and flowers, everyone raised their glasses to offer their congratulations to the birthday celebrant.
Fu Siyan: "Ah Shu, happy birthday! May you be healthy and safe every year."
Shen Qingshu smiled, her eyes glistening with joy and tears of emotion. "Thank you."
The two clinked glasses, and then Shen Anning and Qi Yue offered their blessings together.
They have not remarried, but they have gotten back together and are raising their two children together. Shen Anning now spends most of her time living next door, and their life is warm and sweet.
Qi Yue's psychological problems did not recur. After the medication was discontinued, he began to study traditional Chinese medicine for conditioning. He matured a lot and no longer obsessed over whether Shen Anning loved him or not. He learned to respect his lover, or rather, he is now more like Shen Anning's guardian, providing ample protection, companionship, and absolute trust.
Shen Qingshu looked at her daughter and son-in-law and nodded, "Thank you, and please take good care of yourselves."
Shen Anning hugged her mother. "Mom, don't worry, we will."
Qi Yue silently grasped Shen Anning's other hand.
Next up are Le Yan and Fu Nian'an.
Le Yan and Fu Nian'an exchanged a glance.
Fu Nian'an nodded slightly to her, as if to encourage her.
Le Yan took a deep breath, raised her wine glass, and shouted in unison with Fu Nian'an, "Mom, happy birthday!"
The word "Mom" made Shen Qingshu pause for a few seconds.
Not only Shen Qingshu, but everyone else also hesitated.
Fu Nian'an had anticipated everyone's reaction.
Le Yan was so nervous that she dared not look at Shen Qing Shu's reaction.
The fact that he and Fu Nian'an secretly got their marriage certificate without telling anyone could be a pleasant surprise, but it could also be a shock...
Fu Nian'an didn't explain much, but simply asked Chu Xing to bring the gift box.
It was a small pink gift box that he had wrapped himself.
Inside is his and Le Yan's marriage certificate.
Chu Xing reluctantly handed the gift box to Shen Qingshu and said respectfully, "Madam, this is a birthday gift from the young mistress and Young Master Fu to you."
Shen Qingshu glanced at Le Yan, as if she had a feeling.
She immediately took the gift box and eagerly opened it—
Inside the gift box were two marriage certificates!
Shen Qingshu was astonished and suddenly looked up at Le Yan, "Yan Yan, is this... real?"
Le Yan pursed her lips and nodded vigorously.
Fu Nian'an looked at her mother and said, "Mom, I'm so sorry that I didn't discuss such a big thing as getting married with you and Dad beforehand. I was thinking of giving you a surprise."
Shen Qingshu raised her hand to cover her mouth, tears falling.
When Le Yan saw Shen Qing Shu crying, she immediately panicked.
She looked at Fu Nian'an hurriedly, her expression flustered, "This..."
Fu Nian'an held her hand, "Don't be afraid, Mom is just too happy."
Sure enough, the next moment, Shen Qingshu immediately waved to Le Yan, "Good girl, come here and let Mommy give you a hug!"
Le Yan's heart stirred, and she slowly walked towards Chen Qingshu.
