This Number Sounds Familiar

Fu Qinglin asked, "Then how do you want me to address her?"

Fu Yunzhe was silent for a moment before saying, "Call her 'Sister-in-law'."

Fu Qinglin's pupils dilated and she couldn't help but think, 'What about Lan Qingyu? Have you already let her go?' But in Fu Qinglin's opinion, a woman like Bai Yu who would sell herself for money wasn't worthy of staying by her big brother's side, just like Lan Qingyu!

Meanwhile, as Bai Yu sat in Fu Xiangchen's car, she took out a pen and paper again, waiting to discuss business with him.

However, Fu Xiangchen said sympathetically, "It's too much for Big Brother to make you return to your maternal home alone."

Bai Yu said, "It's inconvenient for him to see, so I understand. Second Young Master Fu, what are your requirements for the engagement ceremony? You can tell me now."

Fu Xiangchen tapped his finger on the steering wheel and said, "Qingyu's birthday is on November 2nd. She loves plum blossoms, and... Oh right, she's an art teacher who's good at ink painting, so I want to make the theme more poetic."

November 2nd... Why did this number sound familiar? Where had she heard it before?

Bai Yu said, "Plum blossoms symbolize loyalty and elegance. They do indeed match Ms. Lan's temperament."

Loyalty? A mocking smile appeared on Fu Xiangchen's lips. He wondered what Fu Yunzhe would think if he heard this.

Bai Yu thought for a moment. "How about this? Why don't we decorate the passageways with antique plum blossom palace lanterns? We can start the stage off with an ink painting. If Ms. Lan is willing, we can use her ink painting for this segment. What do you think?"

Fu Xiangchen said, "You already have an idea so quickly. Are you really just an assistant?"

Bai Yu rubbed her nose. "Yeah, I am, and I've been an apprentice for almost two and a half years now."

As the two of them talked, Bai Yu suddenly realized something. "Second Young Master Fu, you're driving in the wrong direction. This isn't the way to my house."

Fu Xiangchen said, "I know. I just wanted to take you to buy some gifts. If we go empty-handed, Uncle and Auntie will think that the Fu family, especially my big brother, is mistreating you."

However, what surprised Bai Yu was that Fu Xiangchen had brought her to the most comprehensive supplement store in L city. Looking at the deer antler with a price tag of more than a hundred thousand yuan, Bai Yu shook her head.

Fu Xiangchen asked, "Why? Are you worried that Uncle and Auntie won't like it?"

Bai Yu said softly, "That's not it. Who would still eat these now? Aren't they afraid of getting sick? We'll just buy that one." Having said that, she pointed at a store across the street.

Fu Xiangchen looked in the direction her finger was pointing and his expression became strange. "A fruit stall?"

Bai Yu nodded. "Yes!"

Half an hour later, Fu Xiangchen parked his car outside Bai Manor. He turned to ask Bai Yu, "Would you like me to go in with you?"

Bai Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How could she have her brother-in-law accompany her back to her maternal home?

"You've helped me out a lot today. I can do the rest myself." After Bai Yu opened the door, she carried the fruit basket that cost about a hundred yuan with her and waved at Fu Xiangchen. "Go and have a good date with Ms. Lan."

At the same time, Bai Ze had threw opened his arms wide to run around like a plane. "Yay, Little Sister Xiao Yu is coming home today!"

Zhu Zhen's head was aching. "Bai Ze, you've been making a fuss the entire night. Can you stop for a while?"

Suddenly, Bai Manor's doorbell rang.

Bai Ze immediately ran over to open the door excitedly. "It must be Little Sister Xiao Yu."

When the door opened, before Bai Yu could say anything, a 1.8-meter-tall man pounced at her, pushing her back a few steps before she stopped.

Bai Ze asked, "Why are you only coming home now?"

Bai Yu patted his back gently as though she was coaxing a child. "I'm sorry, Big Brother. I've been too busy recently and haven't been able to pay you a visit."

After a long while, Bai Ze raised his head and said, "Then promise me that you'll take me out to play for an entire day today."

Bai Yu nodded. "Sure. We'll go wherever you want to go and play whatever you want to play." Then, she held his hand and walked into the living room.

As soon as they entered, they heard Zhu Zhen say sarcastically, "So, the Fu family's First Young Madam has returned. Why are you alone?"

Bai Yu pursed her lips and greeted, "Mom."

Zhu Zhen went on to vent her anger from the phone call last time. "What are you holding in your hand? A fruit basket? Don't you think it's too shabby?"

"Where's Dad? I want to see him." Bai Yu only came to Bai Manor today for two reasons, to take her money and take Bai Ze out to play for a day. She didn't want to do anything else that wasn't necessary.

Just then, Bai Wanwan appeared, supporting Bai Hongye as they made their way down from the second floor. Bai Yu had to greet them, so she said, "Dad, Sis."

Bai Wanwan helped Bai Hongye to the sofa and said to Bai Yu, "Xiao Yu, Dad's heart isn't feeling well today, but he knew you were coming, so he insisted on getting up."
