Lu An'an tilted her head playfully, a hint of smugness in her smile, "Then let's go."
Hmm...it seems pretty obvious?
Fu Zhiyan gazed intently at Lu An'an, following her retreating figure, a surge of indescribable excitement welling up within him, and the smile on his lips becoming increasingly captivating.
It seems... there's a good chance?
He turned around and met the angry eyes of Lu Yanli, Lu Yubai, and Lu Xunran, who were being stopped by their parents. He raised an eyebrow, then followed behind Lu An'an and slowly walked towards the Gu family.
Lu Yanli and the other two naturally saw Fu Zhiyan's gaze, and for a moment, they almost couldn't suppress their anger.
Seeing their son successfully woo the young girl, Chairman Fu and his wife smiled and said to Lu Yanli and the other two, "Look, we almost forgot the time while we were chatting here. Let's go inside."
The couple then turned and left with smiles on their faces.
Only the three Lu brothers remained standing there, their eyes meeting with a mixture of resentment and bitterness.
"Third brother, you useless thing! Why didn't you go and stop that brat Fu Zhiyan!"
Lu Xunran glared at Lu Yanli and retorted sarcastically, "Why didn't you stop Fu Zhiyan? Did you not want to?"
Lu Yubai mentally cursed Fu Zhiyan, "What a scheming man! He actually resorted to underhanded tactics!"
Lu Yanli urged his two younger brothers angrily, "The three of us, hurry up and go in. This time, we must guard it tightly!"
As Lu An'an and Fu Zhiyan stepped into the Gu family's banquet hall side by side, the air around them seemed to freeze for a moment, and all eyes turned to the perfect couple.
Today, Lu An'an's sudden appearance had already made the Lu family the focus of everyone's attention. Now, with Fu Zhiyan, the usually low-key but extremely powerful heir of the Fu family, following closely behind her, it was as if a bombshell had been dropped into the already bustling banquet, causing ripples to spread.
The guests whispered amongst themselves, their murmurs quickly weaving a web of gossip.
"Is the girl next to President Fu the Lu family's recently found heiress?"
"Probably, but judging from how familiar they are, is the Lu family planning to form a marriage alliance with the Fu family?"
"If that's true, it would be big news. The Fu, Lu, and Gu families in the business world have always been in a state of checks and balances. If the Lu and Fu families were to form a marriage alliance, the Gu family would probably be quite uneasy, wouldn't they?"
"Who knows? But they look quite good together. Hey? Did you guys notice? Their clothes seem to match?"
"Oh my! Matching outfits?"
The stares and whispers of the crowd did not affect the two protagonists' mood at all. They walked over to Mr. and Mrs. Lu and Mr. and Mrs. Gu, who were talking, and greeted them with smiles.
"Uncle Gu, Mrs. Gu, good evening."
Mr. and Mrs. Gu looked at the two younger generation with affection and nodded gently. Mrs. Gu looked at Lu An'an and praised, "Good evening, An'an. An'an is so beautiful tonight that I can't take my eyes off her."
Lu An'an smiled shyly: "Mrs. Gu is also very beautiful."
Father Gu's gaze fell on the composed and reserved Fu Zhiyan, and he said with a smile, "Zhiyan hasn't been to the Gu family for a long time. He looks more mature and steady than before, and even more outstanding."
Fu Zhiyan smiled faintly: "Uncle Gu, you flatter me."
Song Shiyun's gaze unconsciously observed Fu Zhiyan, and then she noticed that Fu Zhiyan's tie and her daughter's dress were the same dark blue, and even the edge of the breast pocket had a slight gradient.
Her eyes held a deeper meaning, and her tone carried a hint of barely perceptible teasing, "Zhiyan's suit today has a unique charm, especially the tie, which is particularly special."
A warm smile appeared on Fu Zhiyan's lips. He easily caught the subtle meaning in Song Shiyun's words and replied softly, "This is custom-made. I really like it."
Song Shiyun nodded: "It's good that you like it. If you like something, you should cherish it even more and work hard."
Fu Zhiyan's smile deepened. "Yes, I will definitely try my best."
A row of question marks appeared above Lu An'an's head.
[Why is my mom and Fu Zhiyan's conversation so strange? Are they talking about clothes?]
Following Song Shiyun's soft words, Gu's mother's gaze fell on Fu Zhiyan's clothes. Then, she said in surprise, "Huh? Zhiyan and An'an's outfits today seem to be a matching pair. What a coincidence."
Lu An'an unconsciously glanced at Fu Zhiyan, and seeing Fu Zhiyan's wide smile, her heart skipped a beat. She quickly interrupted with a burst of clear laughter to cover it up: "Haha, yes, coincidences in this world are sometimes just so wonderful..."
[Dad, you can't say Aunt Bai gave me this dress, or I'll be the center of attention tonight.]
Fu Zhiyan pursed his lips and nodded with a hint of resentment: "Yes, it's a coincidence."
Behind them, Fu's parents, Jin Fangguo, Jin Yan, and Lu Wenjing, who arrived late, also overheard the conversation. Three different feelings spread through their hearts.
Jin Fangguo and Jin Yan looked at the two men's clothes with curiosity, their smiles gradually deepening, their eyes gleaming with an all-knowing light, and their words were full of meaning: "What a coincidence, what a wonderful coincidence."
Fu's mother subtly praised, "An'an looks so beautiful tonight. My son only dresses decently tonight. He's always dressed in black, and he always has a long face. It's infuriating to look at him. An'an is so much better. She's always so cheerful. I wish she were mine."
Upon hearing this, alarm bells immediately went off in Lu Wenjing and his three brothers. They tacitly moved closer to their mother's side, their eyes scrutinizing Fu Zhiyan's attire. Then, their gazes shot towards Fu Zhiyan like laser beams.
Aaaaaah! When did this brat find out what kind of dress my sister was wearing?! Guards, bring the guillotine!!!
Seeing that the way people around her were looking at her and Fu Zhiyan was gradually changing, Lu An'an hurriedly changed the subject.
"Ahem, how does Grandpa Jin plan to announce the news that his leg is healed?"
If we don't change the subject soon, things will really start to feel off!
At this moment, Jin Fangguo's gaze leisurely turned to the stairs, where Gu Tingyan was slowly helping Old Master Gu down.
He said with a smile, "Right now."
Lu An'an blinked in confusion: "Now?"
Then she saw Jin Fangguo stand up from his wheelchair, walk steadily forward, shake hands with Old Master Gu, and pat him: "Old Gu, it's been a long time!"
This move instantly stirred up ripples in the banquet hall, with exclamations and discussions swirling around it.
"Am I seeing things? Why do I see General Jin standing up?"
"My God, when did General Jin heal his leg?"
Grandpa Gu feigned surprise, pointing at Jin Fangguo's leg, "You old man, when did your leg get better?"
Jin Fangguo smiled and said, "Last month, I think."
In the corner, a young man's expression suddenly changed. His eyes flashed with a gloomy light as he stared intently at Jin Fangguo, whose legs had recovered, not far away. He coldly asked the person behind him, "How did Jin Fangguo's legs recover so completely? I ordered you to keep a close watch on every move of the Jin family. Why did you miss this crucial piece of information?"
