Bai Weiwei achieved her goal and burst into laughter through her tears.
"Auntie, I knew you loved me the most."
"However, I don't want to put you in a difficult position. I will try again to break off the engagement. Xingzhou is not a heartless person. I believe he still values the relationship between us."
"It's just that I was temporarily fooled by that woman."
Shen Rongfang snorted, "Weiwei, who is that woman? Tell me, and I'll go and meet her myself if I have the chance."
Bai Weiwei hesitated for a moment, "Auntie, I..."
“Weiwei, just tell me. I won’t tell Xingzhou. You told me that.”
With Fu's mother's words, Bai Weiwei felt relieved.
"Auntie, her name is Li Susu, and she is the third young lady of the Li family."
Shen Rongfang frowned. "How could it be her?"
The fact that Li Susu married without telling her family was no secret among the wealthy women.
This incident brought much ridicule to the Li family.
The thought that these taunts might become a laughing stock for the Fu family made Fu's mother even angrier.
"That bastard Xingzhou is blind to talent. He must be bewitched to like such a self-deprecating woman."
In their circle, Li Susu's decision to marry someone else without her family's knowledge was considered self-degrading.
If it were your own daughter, it would be better to sever all ties completely.
Bai Weiwei's lips curled up almost imperceptibly; it seemed things were going much more smoothly than she had imagined.
After all, no one would turn down a daughter-in-law of equal social standing to choose a woman who has been married and divorced.
But why can't Fu Xingzhou understand this?
A fierce glint flashed in Bai Weiwei's eyes as she thought of this, but she quickly returned to normal.
"Auntie, please don't be too angry. Xingzhou should realize his mistake soon."
"He will certainly not let you down."
Shen Rongfang responded and patted Bai Weiwei's hand.
"Weiwei, thankfully you're sensible. Don't worry, the Fu family won't back out of this marriage."
Bai Weiwei's eyes lit up, and she thanked him repeatedly.
"Auntie, then I'll be waiting to marry into your family and serve you as soon as possible."
The two exchanged a smile, and the atmosphere immediately eased.
Bai Weiwei had dinner at the Fu family's old house before preparing to leave.
As dusk approached, just as he stepped out the door, he unexpectedly bumped into Fu Xingzhou walking in.
Normally, Fu Xingzhou is always busy with work and rarely goes back to his old house.
Bai Weiwei subconsciously smoothed her hair and stepped forward with a bright smile to greet them.
"Xingzhou, you're back. Your aunt was still talking about you during dinner."
She affectionately reached out and took Fu Xingzhou's arm, but he immediately dodged it.
What are you doing here?
His tone was somewhat cold, as if he didn't like her.
Bai Weiwei's smile froze. "I've come to see your aunt, Xingzhou. Aren't you happy to see me?"
Fu Xingzhou didn't say anything and quickly walked inside.
Bai Weiwei hesitated for a moment and did not follow them inside.
Later, Fu's mother will definitely bring up Li Susu's matter. With her present, it will be easy for Fu Xingzhou to associate the matter with himself.
This will only make Fu Xingzhou dislike her even more.
Rather than doing that, it's better to leave first, so you can at least save some face.
Thinking of Fu Xingzhou's cold attitude just now, Bai Weiwei bit her lip, feeling unwilling.
Why is Fu Xingzhou so gentle to Li Susu?
Is it really because you like it?
But why? Li Susu was clearly a later arrival!
