But holding such a large banquet right after returning makes it hard not to have some suspicions.
In the center of the banquet hall, Fu Jiang and his son, dressed in suits and full of self-satisfaction, were chatting with people everywhere.
Many people couldn't help but wonder to themselves, "Is the Fu family's fortunes about to change again?"
As a result, Fu Jiang and Fu Junhao became the center of attention, showered with compliments and flattery, almost to the point of euphoria.
The father and son raised their chins, enjoying the adulation of the crowd.
"Fu Nanxiao has arrived!"
Someone whispered something like that.
Like a small pebble dropped into water, it immediately creates ripples on the surface.
At the entrance of the banquet hall, Jiang Yilai, arm in arm with Fu Nanxiao, slowly stepped in.
Fu Nanxiao still had that cold and stern expression, exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay.
But this still couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of those who wanted to make friends.
Almost instantly, Fu Jiang and Fu Junhao were completely ignored.
Fu Jiang was almost too embarrassed to face anyone.
Jiang Yilai wore a champagne-colored long dress and flat shoes today, looking very elegant and gentle. Walking with Fu Nanxiao, the contrast between their cool and warm styles made them a perfect match.
Although the two had a conflict, Jiang Yilai put on a proper smile and accompanied Fu Nanxiao to social events.
Her face was practically frozen from smiling.
As she listened to Fu Nanxiao's conversation with others, she subconsciously looked around.
He then met a cold gaze.
It is Gu Nianqiang.
Jiang Yilai's smile faded slightly.
But after exchanging glances with Jiang Yilai for a few seconds, Gu Nianqiang suddenly dropped the coldness on her face and gave Jiang Yilai a strange smile.
It was like a provocation, yet also like sympathy.
Jiang Yilai frowned, feeling inexplicably uneasy.
"What's wrong? Are you tired?" Fu Nanxiao had been paying attention to her condition and asked in a low voice.
Jiang Yilai shook her head.
Just as she was about to say she was leaving for a moment, the hall suddenly erupted in applause.
It was Grandpa Fu and Grandma Fu who appeared.
He wasn't in a wheelchair today, but was using crutches. He looked energetic and very robust.
As Old Master Fu stood on the stage and spoke, his aged voice was full of experience: "Thank you all for gracing this old man with your presence at this banquet to welcome me back to China. As people get older, they just love a lively atmosphere. I am very happy to see so many people here today. This shows that in everyone's hearts, this old man is still as sharp as ever and still has his lingering influence!"
A burst of laughter erupted from the audience.
After saying a few more opening remarks, Grandpa Fu came downstairs, leaning on his cane.
However, his remarks have led to much speculation.
Jiang Yilai also overheard a few words.
Even though she, a complete novice, didn't realize it at first, she was alerted by the whispers around her and realized something was wrong.
What does it mean to love excitement? What does it mean to still be sharp as ever?
Is Old Master Fu preparing to... return to public life?
But Fu Nanxiao is now the president of Fu Corporation. There can't be two tigers on one mountain. Under what pretext can he interfere in company affairs?
Or is it that the old man is dissatisfied with Fu Nanxiao and is paving the way for someone else?
Fu Jiang and Fu Junhao clearly thought so, their smiles practically reaching their ears.
Jiang Yilai couldn't help but glance at Fu Nanxiao.
His eyes were cold, but no emotion could be discerned.
But Jiang Yilai's prejudice against Old Master Fu deepened.
What he did was truly baffling!
Fu Jiang and Fu Junhao surrounded Old Master Fu, helping him entertain the guests, looking smug and full of pride.
