While Fu Xingzhou and Li Susu were drinking and chatting in the villa, Bai Weiwei had already arrived at the entrance of the Fu family's old residence.
It's not very appropriate to visit so late.
But since Fu Xingzhou is going to announce the annulment of the engagement tomorrow, she can't worry about that anymore.
As soon as Bai Weiwei entered the door, she was stopped by the housekeeper.
"Miss Bai, are you here to see Madam?"
"Yes, Auntie probably hasn't rested yet, has she?"
"Miss Bai, you've come at an inopportune time. Madam wasn't feeling well this afternoon and went to bed early."
"Please come another day."
Bai Weiwei's expression stiffened, but she was unwilling to leave just like that.
"Auntie is sick? Then I'd better go and see her."
After Bai Weiwei finished speaking, she pushed aside the housekeeper's hand and prepared to go inside.
The butler stepped forward and began to stop people again.
“Miss Bai, Madam is really not feeling well. It's not appropriate for you to go to the backyard right now.”
"If you have anything to say, I can pass it on for you, what do you think?"
Bai Weiwei gritted her teeth; she was already losing face.
However, she had always cultivated a kind and understanding persona at the Fu family's old residence, so a sudden change of heart would be even more inappropriate.
"Butler, to be honest, I do have something very important to discuss with your aunt."
"If I don't see your mother tonight, some things might..."
Bai Weiwei sighed, looking quite troubled as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
The housekeeper looked troubled, glancing at Bai Weiwei and then at the backyard.
“Miss Bai, how about this, please wait in the front hall for a while, I will go to the backyard to ask if Madam wants to see you.”
Seeing that things were looking up, Bai Weiwei had no choice but to agree.
I sat anxiously in the lobby for a while before I heard footsteps.
She stood up and paused, startled when she saw who it was.
It wasn't Shen Ronghua who arrived, but Chairman Fu, Fu Yan.
Bai Weiwei reacted quickly and hurriedly greeted them.
"Uncle Fu, good evening. You're still up?"
"Weiwei, I heard you're looking for Ronghua. She hasn't been feeling well lately and is resting, so please don't bother her."
Fu Yan glanced at Bai Weiwei and then sat down in the main seat.
Although his tone was calm, his imposing presence created a tense atmosphere.
"Tell me what's wrong."
Bai Weiwei bit her lip. She could act coquettishly and ingratiatingly in front of Shen Ronghua, but she was always rather reserved in front of Fu Yan.
After all, Chairman Fu is not someone who can be easily fooled, and he would not act impulsively.
But since things had come to this point, Bai Weiwei had no choice but to take a gamble.
“Uncle Fu, I didn’t really want to bother you so late, but… Xingzhou came to see me today and brought up the matter of annulling the engagement again, and…”
Bai Weiwei paused, her eyes already reddening with grievance, looking utterly pitiful.
"And Xingzhou said that he will hold a press conference tomorrow to announce the news."
“When the time comes, the whole of City C will know that the Bai family and the Fu family have canceled their engagement. I... I really don’t know what to do, which is why I came to see my uncle and aunt.”
While feigning grievance, Bai Weiwei carefully observed Fu Yan's expression.
Fu Yan picked up a teacup, but through the rising steam, she couldn't quite make out the other person's expression.
The atmosphere fell silent, which made Bai Weiwei even more nervous.
Could it be that Fu Yan tacitly approved of the cancellation of the engagement?
If that's the case, then there's no room for maneuver in this matter.
