I facepalmed. Sure enough, I couldn’t just take Fu Hansheng’s things. I looked at her and patiently explained, “Don’t misunderstand. President Fu gave it to me yesterday!”

“He gave it to you?” Her face was full of disbelief.

“He would give his card to someone like you? Do you honestly think you’re Mrs. Fu? Do you think you’re worthy?”

This person doesn’t have limits when she speaks.

I frowned in displeasure. “Miss Su, please remember to brush your teeth the next time you go out. You are too foul-mouthed. You will easily pollute the air.”

“Also, I’ll repeat myself. Fu Hansheng gave this card to me. If you don’t believe me, you can ask him!”

“Hansheng would give you a black card?” she snorted.

“For a country bumpkin like you, sticking cucumber slices on your face is good enough.”

I showed her face, but she didn’t want it.

“Miss Su, if you like to use cucumbers to satisfy yourself, don’t spread it around. Not every woman is as thirsty as you to use cucumbers. Unlike you, their brains are useful, not for decoration. If you don’t believe me, you can call Fu Hansheng and ask him directly. Don’t embarrass yourself here!”

I snatched the black card from her hand and went straight to the beauty room.

Su Li’s irascible scream came from behind.

I never understood Fu Hansheng. With his credentials, if he seriously wanted to find a woman, he could have found someone with a good temper and character.

However, the fact that he found such a mean and pretentious woman like Su Li always confused me.

Do all men like pretentious women?

…

At the Mu Family’s banquet.

In order not to embarrass Fu Hansheng, I specially made my hair and picked a dress to show off my demeanor. After taking a taxi to the hotel, I called Fu Hansheng outside the hotel.

The phone rang for a while before it was picked up. The man was as quiet as ever. “Speak?”

“I’m at the hotel entrance. Are you there yet?”

Didn’t he ask me to accompany him to the banquet? Why is he nowhere to be seen?

He paused and said, “Go in first, I’ll be there in a jiffy!”

I winced, hung up, and entered the hotel while holding on to the hem of my dress.

Fortunately, he had given me the invitation in advance. I entered the banquet. The lights flickered, and many guests had arrived.

Only after I entered the banquet did I realize it was the Mu family’s youngest grandson’s birthday party.

“Mrs. Fu, you’re here. Where’s President Fu?” The Mu Family’s daughter-in-law, Hu Lin, asked when she saw me.

I chuckled. Seeing the one-year-old boy in her arms, I couldn’t help but take a few more glances at him. I replied, “He’ll be here soon. The little guy is really cute!”

Hu Lin smiled faintly. “You have been married to President Fu for a few years. Are you not planning to have a child?”

Uh oh!

I laughed awkwardly and said, “No hurry!”

I changed the topic soon after. “There seem to be many people here today. It’s quite lively.”

She nodded. “Yes, Old Master likes the liveliness. Moreover, his grandson, the young master of the He family, has returned to the country and is planning to develop here. The Old Master wanted to pave the way for his grandson, so he has invited many business magnates.”

When I heard the familiar surname, my body froze uncontrollably for a while. I stared at her. “Young Master He?”

She nodded and said, “He Zhizhou left the country two years ago and only came back recently!”

As she spoke, she looked around. Then, she settled her gaze. Pointing at the tall and handsome man beside the stage, she said, “Look, over there. Come, let me introduce you guys!”

As she spoke, He Zhizhou looked in my direction. When our eyes met, my heart skipped a beat and my breathing slowed..
