Chapter 171
"Sister, thank you for saving me," Sun Jia said, her eyes red.
During the few hours she was captured, she was almost raped. She fought back so fiercely that she injured one of the men's genitals, and that man was immediately taken to the hospital. Then, she was brutally beaten. Her limbs were broken with a wooden stick as thick as her wrist, and even her ankles and insteps were not spared. Before she fainted from the pain, she knew that she was completely ruined. However, when she woke up from her coma, her injuries were only minor bone fractures. And what she had suffered before was like a dream, just a nightmare. When she woke up, everything was fine.
Fu Le stepped forward and patted Sun Jia's fluffy head. "Forget that nightmare. It will never happen again. You'll be fine all the time."
"Sister, you're so kind." Sun Jia held Fu Le's hand and rubbed it affectionately against her face, her eyes filled with affection and gratitude.
"Miss Fu, we would like to invite you to dinner. Do you have time?" Sun Hong extended the invitation at the opportune moment.
Jinyun International Hotel.
"Brother Yu, is your aunt organizing this gathering just to welcome Uncle Yue and his family back?" Wen Qingqing asked softly with a polite smile on her face.
"Yes, Uncle Yue and the others are returning to China and will be staying here from now on. Given our long-standing friendship, this is only right," Chen Yu replied in a low voice.
"Brother Yu, Brother Yue and Sister Yinyin should be back too, right? Will they come together this time?" Yao Xinyi was wearing a white down jacket with a fluffy jumpsuit underneath, which made her small face look delicate and lovely. She had a shy expression, and it was clear that her real intention was not to drink.
Chen Yu glanced at her, understanding her thoughts perfectly. "Brother Ming, you and Sister Yin will probably be together."
Wen Qingqing glanced at Yao Xinyi. No wonder she came to her house early in the morning; it turned out she was here for Yue Ming.
No matter how beautifully they dress up, these people never choose their own partners.
The three chatted about trivial matters as they walked inside.
"Huh?" Yao Xinyi's voice came from behind.
Chen Yu and Wen Qingqing both turned around at the same time.
Several high-end black cars were parked at the hotel entrance, belonging to the Sun family. Not only was the patriarch present, but his youngest son, who held a high position in the military, and his wife were also there, along with Sun Lin and Sun Jia, and the grandchildren of the other three branches of the family—everyone was there. It was a family reunion.
Among them was a familiar face. She walked in, chatting and laughing, next to Sun Lao. Sun Lin and his sister also chimed in with smiles from time to time. The couple, who were usually not easy to approach, were also smiling. The atmosphere was as harmonious as that of a family.
"Fu Le?!?" Yao Xinyi exclaimed in surprise, somewhat losing her composure.
There weren't many people in the hotel, but there were still quite a few. Most of them were talking at normal volume. Because Yao Xinyi's sharp and high-pitched voice was too piercing, it attracted the attention of the people around her. Apart from surprise, most of them looked at her with disdain.
The Sun family members naturally heard it too, and all turned their gazes over.
Realizing what was happening too late, Yao Xinyi's face turned ugly in an instant. She glared at Fu Le with embarrassment.
Fu Le raised an eyebrow, a sarcastic smile playing on his lips.
"Girl, this girl was defeated by you?" Professor Sun said with a smile.
"How do you know?" Fu Le asked with a smile.
"Your teacher has a pair of sharp eyes, hahaha..." Professor Sun liked Fu Le's fearless nature.
Sun Lin looked at Yao Xinyi with a gloomy gaze. Although he didn't know her, his disgust stemmed from her attitude towards Fu Le.
Sun Jia stared coldly at the handsome face opposite her. She had only been back for a short time. Although her family had held a banquet, she didn't remember many faces. She did know Chen Yu, though; his father was the second-in-command of the Ministry of Finance.
"Xinyi!! Don't cause trouble." Chen Yu reacted immediately and scolded in a low voice, "You can't afford to offend them!!" Judging from Fu Le's interaction with Old Master Sun, he was clearly highly regarded. Although their family did not usually have close ties with the Sun family, they still had some connections. After all, the Sun family was a famous family of doctors, with several generations of their ancestors serving as imperial physicians. Old Master Sun was still a top-ranking imperial physician. Even during the great upheaval, they were unharmed, which showed how solid their foundation was.
"I'll go say hello." Chen Yu glared at Yao Xinyi, then walked forward with a smile.
"Old man Sun..."
Yao Xinyi blushed as she watched Chen Yu respectfully greet the Sun family. Clearly, even Chen Yu was wary of this family.
Wen Qingqing walked to Yao Xinyi's side and said, "Xinyi, we can't afford to offend the Sun family." The implication was that Fu Le was an exception.
So, "Okay, I understand." Yao Xinyi took Wen Qingqing's arm, cast a venomous glance at Fu Le, and then the two left together.
Although Fu Le didn't look in this direction, she was sharp-eyed and sharp-eared.
She's a clown; as long as you don't fall into her hands again, she won't bother with you. If you come back, she'll destroy you.
Sun Hong and his wife naturally noticed the undercurrent between Fu Le and the girl next to Chen Yu, and both looked at Chen Yu with scrutiny.
Chen Yu: ...
Yao Xinyi is such an idiot!!
...
At the dinner table, Fu Le took out a regular monkey wine. "Teacher, try this wine. I brewed it myself with fruit. It tastes good and is also good for your health."
Professor Sun looked at the pair of gourd-shaped jade bottles. Although he couldn't see through what was inside, the moment the caps were opened, the fragrance that wafted out made his mouth water.
"Great, Lele, you can even brew wine now..."
Fu Le poured a glass for Professor Sun and also filled the glass for the couple opposite him. "Uncle Sun, Aunt Huang, have a taste, it tastes good."
"Okay, come on..."
After taking a sip of wine, Professor Sun's eyes lit up. He smacked his lips and said, "Hmm, Lele, this wine tastes pretty good. It has a smooth texture and a light fruity aroma. Hmm, it feels very comfortable in my stomach."
"Teacher, if you like it, I'll bring you more after you finish drinking it," Fu Le said with a smile.
"Lele, I want some too." Sun Hong said with a smile. His stomach wasn't very good, so he didn't drink alcohol unless necessary. He had only taken a sip just to make a taste, but to his surprise, his stomach felt comfortable and warm after drinking the alcohol.
"Is your stomach alright?" Huang Yun asked softly with some concern.
"No, this wine isn't very strong. You'll know once you try it." He then downed it in one gulp. Aside from the subtle fruity aroma and lingering aftertaste, his stomach really didn't feel uncomfortable.
Men often enjoy a little alcohol, and if it doesn't harm their health, that's naturally a good thing.
"Okay, I'll have Wang Li bring it over later." Fu Le had naturally heard the couple's conversation. Monkey wine was gentle on the stomach and was indeed good for health. The reason he brought it over was naturally to curry favor.
She had to seize the olive branch extended by the Sun family.
Huang Yun laughed and punched her husband lightly. "You're really shameless. But this wine does taste pretty good. Lele, your cooking skills are excellent."
...
After the meal, Fu Le's relationship with the Sun family reached a new level.
After the meal, the adults left first, while Fu Le was pulled into a private club by Sun Lin and his sister.
