11:00 AM, Jucheng Airport.
The airport was bustling with people. As soon as Su Manman got off the plane, she felt like she had been in another world. Her journey to make pastries had been fraught with life and death several times. After returning to peace, everything seemed exceptionally beautiful. Even the crowds that she usually found noisy seemed a bit cute!
The blinding sunlight poured down, and Fu Yanzhu stepped forward to shield her from the sun with his tall figure.
Su Manman tugged at his sleeve, feeling somewhat uneasy.
"Fu Yanzhu, I went to the pastry shop on short notice this time and informed them later. Do you think Mom will be upset with me?"
Fu Yanzhu pulled Su Manman's nervous little hand away and held it in his palm, saying seriously.
"If you want to blame someone, blame me. I'm the one who took you away!"
They remained silent the whole way until they reached the exit of the station, where Su Manman immediately spotted her second brother holding a large bouquet of flowers.
Su Changqing, dressed in a blue wavy casual suit and wearing large sunglasses, stood in the crowd like he was glowing, attracting the frequent glances of the girls around him!
[Second Brother is still as flamboyant as ever!]
Su Manman was speechless, looking at Su Changqing who was as flirtatious as a butterfly, wondering whether she should acknowledge him as her husband!
Hearing Su Manman's thoughts, Su Changqing looked at his younger sister with delight and raised his arm to wave.
"Manman, I'm here!"
Su Manman pulled Fu Yanzhu over and couldn't help but look around.
"Second brother, has mother arrived?"
"They're here! Eldest brother and third brother are here too, they're just ahead!"
Su Changqing nodded and stuffed the flowers in his hand into Manman's arms.
Fu Yanzhu smiled politely and extended a friendly hand.
"Second Brother!"
Su Changqing glanced away, ignoring Fu Yanzhu.
Fu Yanzhu wasn't annoyed; he calmly withdrew his hand and put his arm around Su Manman's shoulder.
At this moment, Fu Nanshan also came over and praised the flowers in Su Manman's hand.
"The flowers are nice, but we shouldn't have chosen red roses!"
Su Changqing glared at Fu Nanshan with disdain, his mouth twisted into a crooked grin.
"I'm delivering flowers to my sister, what business is it of yours, you old geezer!"
"Changqing, how dare you be rude!"
Huo Qingyu arrived gracefully with Su Hao and Su Tianyu, her two sons standing behind her like two bodyguards!
Su Changqing scratched his head and made way for Huo Qingyu.
"Mom, what brings you here!"
Huo Qingyu ignored him and stared straight at Fu Nanshan.
"You must be Mr. Fu Nanshan, Chairman of Runyu Group. It's a pleasure to meet you!"
Fu Nanshan smiled broadly and bent down to shake hands with Huo Qingyu.
"I had heard that the head of Qinghai Group was a great beauty, and seeing her today, I can confirm that the rumors are true!"
"I'm so happy that we can become in-laws!"
Huo Qingyu knew exactly what Fu Nanshan was talking about, but she didn't respond. Instead, she exchanged pleasantries with him.
"Chairman Fu has come from afar. As the host, I have arranged a banquet to welcome you all. Please do me the honor of joining us!"
After exchanging greetings and introducing their respective guests, Huo Qingyu and Fu Nanshan left the airport for their hotel.
Su Manman sat next to Huo Qingyu, tugging at her clothes and acting coquettishly.
"Beautiful Mom, I know it was wrong of me to go to the pastry shop without permission, but it really was just a spur-of-the-moment decision!"
"Please forgive me this time! It won't happen again! From now on, I'll tell you before I go anywhere!"
Huo Qingyu didn't even glance at her, crossing her arms and looking serious with a stern face!
On the way to the hotel, Huo Qingyu had a bad expression the whole time, and the atmosphere in the car was extremely oppressive. No matter what Su Manman said, she didn't respond!
Su Manman's eyes were red, and she didn't understand why her mother was so angry!
"All I did was not give you prior notice, and that pretty mom is so heartless!"
Apologies and pleading aren't working! This is so frustrating! What should I do?!
Huo Qingyu rolled her eyes at Su Manman; this child simply didn't understand her good intentions!
Upon arriving at the restaurant, everyone sat around a table, and the food was quickly served!
Huo Qingyu maintained a detached and indifferent attitude throughout the meal. Fu Nanshan brought up their marriage several times, but she skillfully changed the subject each time.
Even if Fu Nanshan was stupid, he would know that there was something going on. Besides, they were all old foxes in the business world. Who wouldn't know how to play the ghost story?
Fu Nanshan smiled broadly and raised his glass again.
“My dear in-laws, look at our Fu Yanzhu, he’s not getting any younger. I like Manman too. Besides, they’re together all the time. It wouldn’t be right if they didn’t have a proper status, would it?”
“My son is a brat, not as precious as a girl. Let’s be frank, if you have any complaints about Fu Yanzhu, just say it directly, and I promise to keep an eye on him to make him change his ways!”
Huo Qingyu's eyes were sharp, but her smile became even more gentle.
"I've seen Chairman Fu's sincerity. Since you put it that way, I won't hold back anymore!"
Su Manman and Fu Yanzhu stiffened their backs, their hearts involuntarily pounding. They had both witnessed the open and covert attacks at the dinner table and felt that Huo Qingyu was about to unleash a powerful move!
Huo Qingyu looked at Fu Yanzhu and said something that was like a sharp sword piercing straight into his lungs!
"Fu Yanzhu, did you think about the consequences of saying that Manman was living with you in your live stream?!"
"Have you ever considered that someone might call you shameless, shameless, and penniless for offering yourself up?"
"Have you thought about how Manman will live if you two break up and the marriage falls through?!"
Su Manman: "Mom, it's not as serious as you make it out to be. Besides, isn't it normal for boyfriends and girlfriends to live together?"
Huo Qingyu rolled her eyes at Su Manman, annoyed. "You brat who's always siding with outsiders!"
Fu Yanzhu looked at Huo Qingyu, her eyes conveying her firm resolve.
"Auntie, we will definitely get married!"
"But you're right, I didn't think these things through. I was only focused on proving to the world that our feelings for each other were real, and I didn't consider all that!"
