Mrs. Fu, please be mindful of the appropriate boundaries.

Qingcheng didn't say anything, and simply took the clothes.

It's clear that this is Fu Sichen's style.

A white, knee-length dress with a sweet Peter Pan collar, lace trim, and ruffled sleeves—a pure and innocent style.

"Sister, I'll wait for you in the living room. Come out when you're dressed. My mom is waiting for you outside. She said Grandma wants to see you in a bit." Fu Sichen whispered, "Don't be afraid. My mom is a very nice person. My grandma is old. If she says anything unpleasant, just pretend you didn't hear it."

Xu Qingcheng frowned. The old lady of the Fu family wanted to see her? What for?

"I understand, you can go out now."

After changing my clothes, the chest area felt a bit tight, but otherwise it was fine.

It's just that I haven't worn this style of clothing for many years, so it seems like I'm trying to look younger than I am.

When Xu Qingcheng came out, Fu Sichen's eyes lit up. He said that the fairy sister would definitely look good in it, like a beautiful girl who stepped out of a comic book. Her fluffy hair was spread out behind her, and it didn't look out of place at all.

Ugh, I still think my second brother is such a jerk. How could he bully such a beautiful older sister?

"Wait a minute, I'll call my mom." Fu Sichen opened the door and let Zhong Wanxiu in.

Xu Qingcheng instinctively straightened her head and puffed out her chest. There was still a hint of charm on her face, and even her innocent clothes couldn't hide her allure.

The Fu family and the Xu family did not have a deep relationship. Xu Shengchang's family foundation was too shallow and could not compare with the Fu family's accumulated wealth over several generations.

Zhong Wanxiu learned about Xu Qingcheng from a familiar woman who said that the girl was immoral and had seduced her husband to attract investment. She added that if they hadn't discovered it in time, Xu Qingcheng would have succeeded.

Her language was vulgar and offensive. Although she was a lady from a prominent family with an excellent background, she didn't know how to leave room for maneuver in her speech.

Zhong Wanxiu listened without taking it personally. She never imagined they would cross paths, but unexpectedly, the name Xu Qingcheng was repeatedly linked to Jingting.

During her brief glimpse at the hotel last time, Zhong Wanxiu didn't notice how beautiful the girl was, but rather that her second son, with his somewhat eccentric temperament, had actually stepped in to shield her from the door.

It is said that no one knows a son better than his mother, but Zhong Wanxiu did not think her son could be so kind.

Seeing that her complexion was different from that at the banquet, Zhong Wanxiu asked her, "Miss Xu, are you alright? You looked like you had a cold and fever before."

The voice was soft, without a hint of accusation.

Xu Qingcheng was prepared for battle, but she was a little stunned by the question. Her face flushed slightly before she spoke, "No, it's nothing."

When he opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse.

Xu Qingcheng bit her lip secretly, feeling incredibly embarrassed.

Now everyone who saw and heard what the two of them had done knew. Xu Qingcheng really wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it.

Zhong Wanxiu seemed to sense her embarrassment and didn't ask any more questions. She simply said, "Jingting's grandmother is celebrating her birthday today and happens to be here. She said she wants to see you. Since it has already happened, Miss Xu, you don't need to worry too much. We will handle it properly."

"Where is Fu Jingting?" Xu Qingcheng asked subconsciously.

She couldn't quite figure out what was going on with this family.

"His father is asking him something." Zhong Wanxiu stepped to the side. "I'll take you to the old lady's. Miss Xu, don't feel pressured. You don't have to say anything you don't want to."

Now that things have come to this, Xu Qingcheng has no reason to refuse.

She decided to go over and see what they were saying.

As the two walked out, Fu Sichen took a bottle of mineral water from the table and handed it to Xu Qingcheng, saying, "Sister Qingcheng, your voice is hoarse, have some water."

Xu Qingcheng paused for a moment, but still took it.

Fu Sichen breathed a sigh of relief, waah, she was so afraid that the fairy sister would ignore her from now on.

Second Brother is a good dog. Second Brother is a good dog. Second Brother is a good dog.

The important thing is said three times.

……

Fu Jingting's side was the real three-way trial, with his grandfather and eldest uncle both present, their faces grim.

Fu Pinghui asked him, "What happened?"

"There's something wrong with the wine I drank," Fu Jingting replied calmly.

"How do you plan to handle this? The Ye family is still waiting for an answer." Fu Pinghui looked at him, his face cold and stern.

Fu Jingting turned the watch on his wrist, lowered his eyes, and it was unclear whether he was thinking or unsure how to handle the situation.

An eerie silence fell over the entire space.

Fu Minghui suddenly snorted, "There's nothing difficult to handle. The media won't let a word out; this matter will just rot in our family's stomachs."

That girl from the Xu family definitely has blackmailing intentions. But we need to see who she's blackmailing. I've already sent people to collect evidence and handed it over to the police.

Fu Minghui's so-called collection of evidence may not actually be evidence collection; it's too easy to pin it on someone.

Fu Jingting slightly raised his eyes, his gaze cold. "Uncle, it's not Xu Qingcheng; there's something wrong with her wine too."

"That doesn't mean it wasn't her." Fu Minghui looked up at him and sneered, "Xu Shengchang's daughter really knows how to use any means necessary for Shengshi Group."

"When I realized something was wrong, I had Duan Heng check the surveillance footage and preserve the evidence." Fu Jingting looked up at Fu Minghui. "Uncle, why don't you see who's behind this? Duan Heng is waiting outside. If you want to see it, I'll have him bring it in."

Fu Minghui looked up, and his assistant went out and took the tablet from Duan Heng's hand.

The video does show Ye Wenhan putting drugs in the wine before handing the glass to Xu Qingcheng.

Fu Jingting scoffed, leaning back lazily in his chair. "If Ye Wenhan isn't interested in a marriage alliance, she should just say so. Why resort to this tactic?"

Fu Minghui remained silent for a long time before saying, "This video doesn't prove that Wenhan put the medicine in there."

This obvious favoritism made Fu Pinghui frown. "Brother, I think we should handle this discreetly. After all, it won't sound good if word gets out."

"The Ye family is very satisfied with this marriage. Wenhan has been crying ever since she found out about this, but she also said that she doesn't mind, as long as Jingting, you don't really want to be with that woman." Fu Minghui spoke up for the Ye family.

A moment later, his sharp gaze fixed on Fu Jingting. "Last time I asked you, you said you were just playing around with Xu Qingcheng. Today I'm asking you again, is your attitude still the same?"

Fu Jingting raised his eyes, meeting Fu Minghui's scrutiny with an open and honest expression. He sneered, "Uncle, she's just a woman. To me, anyone is fine. But if the Ye family isn't clean, I'd feel uncomfortable having her around."

Fu Jingting has made it clear that he doesn't want to have anything to do with Ye Wenhan anymore.

The reason he gave made it impossible for Fu Minghui to suppress it.

Fu Pinghui looked at his son, Jingting, who was a deep thinker. He had asked Jingting several times before what he thought of Ye Wenhan, but Jingting had not said anything. He only said, "Dad, you don't need to get involved in this matter. Just do as Uncle says."

But it seems that Jingting is not satisfied with Ye Wenhan at present, as for that girl from the Xu family...

Fu Pinghui frowned slightly, recalling the conversation between father and son last time.

"This Xu Qingcheng, she was engaged to the second son of the Ye family, then the engagement fell through, causing a huge embarrassment for both families. What are you getting involved in?"

He said at the time, "I never said I was going to marry her. You don't need to worry about these things too much."

Don't worry about it too much?

Fu Pinghui now needs to take his words with a grain of salt.
