Fu Zhou's voice made Qu Ling stunned.

How could she let him know what she had done?

In just a moment, Qu Ling collected her thoughts. She frowned, her usual gentle and delicate expression, and sighed, "I don't know why, but I'm feeling irritable today. Look at me, I've made such a mess in the study. I'll clean it up right away."

Qu Ling put down her pen, but before she could squat down, Fu Zhou stopped her.

"Don't clean up. Did you not sleep well last night and are you too tired?" Fu Zhou supported her with concern. "You should take a rest. Let the servants clean up these things. Someone called from the old house and said they have something to ask you, but don't worry about it. No matter what happens at the old house, I will handle it."

Fu Zhou placed Qu Ling on the sofa.

He couldn't bear to see his wife bothered by anything else.

But when she heard that the old mansion had something to talk to her about, Qu Ling immediately stood up, "Is it that Mom wants to talk to me about something? Is it the old mansion calling? I'll call back and ask."

Qu Ling showed great concern for the old house.

Before Fu Zhou could even stop her, Qu Ling had already left him.

Fu Zhou was deeply moved to see that she was still so concerned about the old house even though she was not feeling well. It was not until she picked up the phone that Fu Zhou suddenly woke up and said hurriedly, "The call from the old house was made downstairs. It hasn't been hung up yet. The housekeeper is still waiting."

Qu Ling stopped dialing.

"Okay, I'll go get it."

Qu Ling gently curled the corner of her mouth towards Fu Zhou, then went out and went downstairs.

Picking up the phone in the living room, Qu Ling was very humble and polite even when facing the butler.

After hearing from the housekeeper that Mrs. Fu asked her to go back to the old house, Qu Ling immediately said that she would leave immediately.

Qu Ling changed her clothes, fixed her makeup, and set off.

Half an hour later, she arrived at the Fu family's old house.

In the study, Mrs. Fu got straight to the point. "This is Lingtian Group's invitation tonight. The Xiao family specially invited me to go, and I want to prepare a gift."

A gift?

Qu Ling had been in the Fu family for so many years, so he naturally understood the hidden meaning behind Mrs. Fu's words.

"Mom, I'll prepare this gift."

Mrs. Fu glanced at her and said, "Only you can prepare this gift. I remember that the original calligraphy of the "Lanting Preface" that Fu Zhou bought was given to you?"

Qu Ling turned cold for a moment.

"Preface to the Lanting Collection"?

"What? Did I remember it wrong? Didn't I give it to you?"

Mrs. Fu's voice rang out again. Qu Ling didn't dare to delay this time and replied, "Mom, you're not mistaken. You gave it to me, but..."

"If I ask you to take out this calligraphy, you probably won't refuse."

Mrs. Fu interrupted her.

This sentence blocked Qu Ling's idea of ​​​​refusing.

Qu Ling felt reluctant to leave.

After all, Fu Zhou had bought it for her at a high price just to make her smile, so it meant a lot to her. But now, facing Mrs. Fu's request, she could only bear the pain.

"How could I refuse? Mom, I'll go back and get it and send the calligraphy over as soon as possible." Qu Ling smiled.

She was about to go out when Mrs. Fu called her.

"No need to send it to the old house. It's just right that you can accompany me to the banquet tonight. It just so happens that you have a master of calligraphy. Xiao Yunzhen wants to find someone to copy the "Lanting Preface". You can show it off then. Maybe you can catch their eye."

Qu Ling studied fine arts. Before she married into the Fu family, she met a now deceased calligraphy master through Fu Zhou by chance.

Does Mrs. Fu want to use her as a tool to please Lingtian Group?

Mrs. Fu has always attached great importance to the cooperation with Lingtian Group, so it is understandable that she wants to take this opportunity to curry favor with them.

If she could get this done for Old Lady Fu, perhaps she could gain her approval.

But, thinking of Su Ran...

Mrs. Fu probably doesn't know that if she wants to get closer to Lingtian Group, she only needs to focus on Su Ran.

The old lady will eventually know about the banquet today.

When I think about Su Ran's relationship with the Xiao family, even if she is just Xiao Yunzhen's recognized sister, her status will be different if she is recognized by the elders of the Xiao family.

By then, Su Ran would probably be able to pass the test of "being well matched" that Mrs. Fu values ​​so much.

"Qu Ling? What are you thinking about? Don't you want to go?"

Qu Ling was so absorbed in his thoughts that his emotions were faintly revealed.

Hearing Mrs. Fu's inquiry, Qu Ling hurriedly said, "Mom, I was just thinking that since we want to copy, we need to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

"Well, you have thought it through. Go and prepare. You don't have to come to the old house again. I will ask the driver to pick you up before the banquet." Old Mrs. Fu waved her hand.

Qu Ling walked out of the study and kept a smile on her face until she left the old house.

When he returned to Fu Zhou's private residence, Fu Zhou came to greet him.

Ten minutes ago, Mrs. Fu called him and told him about the calligraphy and painting.

Fu Zhou naturally knew that Qu Ling valued the calligraphy and painting very much. When he met her, he immediately held her hand and said, "Ah Ling, Mom said that she will find another calligraphy and painting for you later to compensate you."

Qu Ling was stunned.

Dadu said: "Brother Zhou, I am also a member of the Fu family. I am willing to take out this calligraphy and painting. It can be of use to the Fu family. I don't need any compensation, but..."

Qu Ling paused, "That was a gift you gave me. I only care about its meaning. But it doesn't matter. You are by my side, and that is more important than any other gift."

Just a few words to control Fu Zhou.

He should be satisfied with his lovely wife.

And the people who passed by...

The figure appeared in Fu Zhou's mind, and he seemed to have made a decision. "A Ling, find some time, let's go out for a walk, and I'll take a picture for you."

He put down his camera for many years because of someone in his past.

Picking it up again means starting over from the bottom of my heart?

Qu Ling was a little surprised.

Meeting his gaze, she instantly understood what he meant. A hint of excitement crossed her face as she nodded in agreement, "Okay."

But only she herself knew that when faced with Fu Zhou's determination to let go of the past, she was not as excited as she appeared on the surface.

The moment he returned to the study alone and closed the door, the smile on Qu Ling's face disappeared.

Fu Zhou...

She didn't care about his sincerity at all, what she cared about was...

That figure appeared in his mind, and Qu Ling didn't even notice that a red mark had been left on his lips from biting them unconsciously.

……

The internet is flooded with news about Lingtian Group’s banquet tonight.

In Ye's house, Ayan got the news and finally couldn't hold back anymore.

She called Ye Tingshen several times, but no one answered until she went to the company in person before the dinner.

"Miss?"

The staff at the secretariat were a little surprised to see her bandaged leg.

Although this young lady has only been back for a short time, almost everyone in the company knows that she and Ye Tingshen are inseparable.

My leg is injured and I should rest.

But she still came to the company, probably not for work, but for the young master.

Sure enough, Ayan simply greeted everyone and went straight to Ye Tingshen's office.
