Chapter 539: Marry
Xu Yan was right. In an occasion like today, she couldn't quarrel with Fu Shanzhan because of her emotions. If someone saw it, it would only make her laugh. But patience would not make her emotions subside. On the contrary, it would make her feel more aggrieved - especially after entering the yard and seeing the scene of Fu Qingyun, Ji Qingyuan and Lin Muyue talking.
Ji Qingyuan was fine, she was usually humble and always smiled at everyone, but Fu Qingyun always liked to have a stern face, but at this moment he was chatting happily with Lin Muyue. From his reaction alone, it could be seen that he liked Lin Muyue very much.
Before they knew it, the four of them had stopped opposite Fu Qingyun and Ji Qingyuan.
Ji Qingyuan saw them first and immediately stepped forward to welcome Qiao Yanzhou and Xu Yan with a very warm attitude.
Soon after, Fu Qingyun also saw them. He stopped talking with Lin Muyue and also stepped forward to say welcome words to the two relatives.
"Mrs. Fu, happy birthday." Xu Yan pointed at the long box in Qiao Yanzhou's hand. "I heard that you prefer Master Chen's Chinese paintings. I happen to have a treasured painting at home. I hope you like it."
Qiao Yanzhou handed over the gift.
Ji Qingyuan smiled in surprise and took it with both hands. "Master Chen's Chinese painting? Your in-laws are so thoughtful. I like it very much. I will have it hung in my study tomorrow."
Fu Qingyun also followed suit and expressed his gratitude: "You two are so thoughtful."
Lin Muyue looked at Qiao Yanzhou and Xu Yan. The couple looked like respectable people and were very capable. Giving gifts to Ji Qingyuan was what she liked, which made her happy.
In their circle, price is no longer the only criterion for judging whether a gift is thoughtful. When everyone has enough money, other aspects will have to be considered. Obviously, the Qiao couple grasped this point.
Lin Muyue looked at Qiao Yunxue again. She was currently being held in Fu Shanzhan's arms. At first glance, her expression seemed normal, but she knew that Qiao Yunxue was probably feeling uncomfortable, but she didn't show it because the occasion was not right.
Compared with her parents, Qiao Yunxue's mind seems a little immature. If she is stimulated again, she will definitely not be able to control herself.
"Uncle Fu, Aunt Ji, you guys chat first. I'm going to find my parents and won't disturb your family." Lin Muyue's attitude was polite and proper. He bowed slightly and left.
Qiao Yunxue glanced in the direction where Lin Muyue left. She had already walked into a group of people of her age and started chatting with them happily.
It can be seen that she is not only familiar with Fu Shanzhan, but also familiar with most of the people who came to the birthday party.
A perfect match...
These four words couldn't help but appear in Qiao Yunxue's mind.
When she first started dating Fu Shanzhan, her parents mentioned these four words to her. Later, when they decided to get married, they also mentioned it, but Qiao Yunxue never considered this a problem.
She had thought about it briefly when she looked at the luxury items hanging in the house before, but Fu Shanzhan was so good to her. With him around, she felt that she didn't need to worry about it at all.
Until the moment Lin Muyue appeared, she suddenly had a completely new understanding of these four words.
The sense of crisis is always brought about by people. Lin Muyue and Fu Shanzhan are childhood sweethearts, their fathers are good friends, and their circles overlap. It seems that in every way, they are more suitable than her.
Fu Qingyun still likes her so much - was it because Fu Qingyun did not agree to Fu Shanzhan marrying her because he had chosen Lin Muyue as his daughter-in-law?
Some things cannot be thought about too deeply. Once you think about them, you tend to have divergent thoughts, and then you become more and more uncomfortable.
——
At twelve o'clock, the birthday party officially began.
As daughters-in-law, Qiao Yunxue and Fu Shanzhan naturally sat at the same table with Ji Qingyuan and Fu Qingyun.
In addition to the people from the Fu family and the Qiao family, there was still an empty seat at this table. Later, Lin Muyue said that there was no vacant seat at her table, so Fu Qingyun asked her to sit here.
Lin Muyue's seat was right next to Fu Xiao's. She seemed to be very familiar with Fu Xiao and they started chatting as soon as they sat down.
From their conversation, Qiao Yunxue also learned a lot about Lin Muyue and Fu Shanzhan’s “past”.
For example, they went skiing together, often went camping together, and when playing games, Fu Shanzhan even deliberately lost to Lin Muyue.
No one present seemed to think these topics were inappropriate, and no one interrupted the conversation.
The more Qiao Yunxue listened, the more upset she became. Others might not have paid attention to these details, but she was sure that Lin Muyue did it on purpose.
By chatting with the little kid Fu Xiao, he conveyed some information to her intentionally or unintentionally, reminding her of her childhood sweetheart relationship with Fu Shanzhan.
Even though Fu Shanzhan didn't talk much to Lin Muyue during the meal, it didn't help her relieve her depression.
Qiao Yunxue persisted until the end of the meal. While eating cake, she went to the backyard on the pretext of going to the bathroom.
The guests were all gathered in the front yard, and the backyard was very quiet. Qiao Yunxue walked to the pavilion and sat down, stroking her chest and breathing deeply.
After taking a few breaths, he couldn't help but dry heave twice - it must be because he was holding in the gas while eating.
Qiao Yunxue didn't want to go back, she just wanted the birthday party to end as soon as possible.
Qiao Yunxue had just sat down for less than five minutes when she heard footsteps.
She looked up and met Lin Muyue's eyes again. Lin Muyue was holding his phone, and when he saw her, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Ms. Qiao, why are you here alone? Shanzhan is not with you?"
After hearing her question, Qiao Yunxue gave a sarcastic smile.
She was not someone who could bear being bullied, and when faced with provocation, she did not want to endure it, so she exposed her mercilessly: "There is no one else here, you don't have to pretend."
Lin Muyue: "Hmm? Do you have any misunderstandings about me?"
Qiao Yunxue: "Do you think you are very smart and treat everyone else as fools? I know exactly what you are thinking."
Compared to Qiao Yunxue, Lin Muyue's emotions seemed much more stable. Even after being confronted by her, he still maintained a proper smile: "Miss Qiao, what do I mean? I'm afraid you really have a misunderstanding about me."
Qiao Yunxue: "Aren't all the words you said today meant for me?"
"You and Fu Shanzhan have known each other since childhood. You have many mutual friends, and your parents are also very familiar with his parents. You two are a perfect match." She summarized Lin Muyue's central idea: "Am I understanding correctly?"
Lin Muyue shook his head helplessly: "You are too sensitive. Shanzhan and I are just friends. I don't have that kind of feelings towards him."
Qiao Yunxue sneered, "You know whether you have it or not."
Lin Muyue: "Since Miss Qiao also knows that I have known him for many years, you should have thought that if I really had that intention towards Shan Zhan, he would have no chance to be with you."
She took a step forward and patted Qiao Yunxue's shoulder affectionately. "I know that marrying up is inevitably like walking on thin ice. I understand Miss Qiao's sensitivity, but you really don't have to treat everyone as your enemy. If you are always suspicious like this, it will put a lot of pressure on your spirit over time."
