In the era of fetal wear, she became the first socialite in Hong Kong

Fu Qiyuan met Titi on the streets of Wangfujing.

She wore a bright yellow midi skirt, standing out vividly in the gray, black, blue, and green crowd. She stood eagerly in front of the sugar painting stall, her face full of curiosity. After listening to the stall owner's instructions, she picked up a copper spoon, suspended her wrist in mid-air, and began to paint with a serious tilt of her head.

A smile appeared on Fu Qiyuan's calm and indifferent face. He instructed the driver to stop the car and stepped closer.

“Titi”.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Fu Ziyan's eyelashes fluttered, and she reflexively looked up, flashing a bright smile upon seeing the person in front of her.

"father!"

She exclaimed with delight, "When did you arrive? Why didn't you let me know? I could have come to pick you up!"

Hearing Titi's familiar, lively tone, Fu Qiyuan's smile deepened, and he reminded his daughter to pay attention to her sugar painting.

Seeing his daughter's lively expression of frowning and wailing, Fu Qiyuan smiled and said, "I arrived this morning and just finished a lunch party. I was planning to visit you at the hotel, but I didn't expect to run into you here."

"I just came to eat roast duck. I was just browsing around since I had nothing else to do." Fu Ziyan quickly finished her sugar painting, thanked the owner, and then skipped over to her father with the finished painting in her hand.

Her lips curved upwards, like crescent moons dipped in candy, as she proudly boasted, "Daddy, look at my little monkey!"

Fu Qiyuan smiled and said, "Very cute."

The sugar-painted monkeys are cute, but his little monkey Titi is the cutest.

Walking beside her father, Fu Ziyan seemed to lighten her pace even from behind, while Fu Qiyuan's steps remained steady and composed.

"Would you like to go anywhere else?"

Fu Ziyan tilted her head in confusion: "Isn't Dad busy this afternoon?" Didn't he just arrive in Beijing today? Usually, today is the busiest day.

Fu Qiyuan hummed in agreement, his voice gentle and his tone calm with a smile: "I have nothing to do this afternoon. Where does Titi want to go? Daddy will go with you."

Fu Ziyan originally had no plans, but after her father said that, she quickly came up with some.

"Let's go boating on Kunming Lake in the Summer Palace!"

With the weekend upon us and the spring sunshine in full bloom, Beihai Park is the perfect choice for families or couples to go boating.

The lake wasn't that big, and Fu Ziyan didn't want to be crowded with people. She decided to go to the Summer Palace instead; since it involved boating on the lake anyway, it would be quieter.

Li Zitao thought so too.

The brother and sister met on their boats on Kunming Lake and looked at each other.

Fu Ziyan waved first and laughed, "Taozi, you value romance over friendship! You have time to go on dates but never come to see me!"

Li Zitao, who had served in the military for ten years, had a resolute and steady demeanor, but his laughter still carried the cheerfulness of his youth: "Yan Yan, listen to what you're saying. Of course, I'll find someone to hang out with when I have free time, no problem!"

Bai Ying, the "girlfriend," blushed upon hearing this.

Li Zitao looked at Fu Qiyuan and greeted him respectfully: "Uncle Fu, it's been a long time since I've seen you. I'm getting married on May Day in a few days. I wonder if you and Yan Yan would be free to come and celebrate with us?"

He knew in his heart that his second uncle had come for this matter. Although the boat trip to the Summer Palace was a coincidence, it was also a good opportunity to go through the invitation process outside.

"Congratulations! I'll definitely be there for your wedding." Fu Qiyuan nodded gently, pretending to be hearing the news for the first time.

Speaking of the wedding, Li Zitao smiled happily: "We look forward to your presence."

Li Zitao's wedding was grander and more dignified than his brother Li Ziheng's.

Li Quyi wasn't one to deliberately show off, but he had just been promoted, and being in the capital city right next to the imperial city, he was always surrounded by people. Even if he carefully selected his social circle, he still had quite a few guests.

Furthermore, Li Ziheng's marriage took place during that decade, a time when political circumstances dictated a low profile, and the wedding was held far from the capital in the south, making the scale of the event significantly different from what it had been before.

The wedding banquet was held at the Capital Hotel, and Fu Ziyan and her father arrived at a moderate time.

Li Zitao and Bai Ying, the newlyweds, dressed in military uniforms and red dresses, stood at the door to greet guests, their lips curving into wide smiles, their joy at their marriage evident: "Mr. Fu, Yan Yan, please come in."

"A perfect couple, a match made in heaven, congratulations to you both." Fu Qiyuan smiled slightly and said a few words of blessing. After Fu Ziyan handed over the gift, the two did not linger at the door and stepped in like ordinary guests.

The banquet hall, though festive, remained understated, but it was anything but simple at first glance.

Among those present were many high-ranking national and ministerial leaders, who sat and chatted with Li Quyi, while Zhang Yuan entertained familiar female leaders and their wives.

Among those who frequented the area were many influential figures whom Fu Ziyan had met during her travels to and from the mainland.

Fu Qiyuan's gaze swept quickly across the powerful figures before heading straight for his eldest brother. Li Quyi was the groom's father at the wedding, so it was perfectly reasonable for him to bring his daughter to see him first.

"My child has visited the capital several times, and we are very grateful to Comrade Li for taking care of him."

Fu Qiyuan had been in the capital for three or four days, but to avoid speculation, he had not visited the Li family. After all, the Li family should be busy preparing for Li Zitao's wedding at this time, rather than having the leisure to receive a visit from a Hong Kong tycoon.

Even using his daughter as an excuse to visit is unreasonable.

"Mr. Fu, you're too kind. Your daughter and my wife get along very well." Li Quyi's gaze fell on his younger brother, his calm eyes concealing his joy at seeing his brother and his longing for his father.

Considering the actual situation, both Fu Qiyuan and Li Quyi behaved with utmost humility and politeness.

It was no secret that Fu Ziyan was acquainted with the Li family. The bigwigs present not only knew this, but also hoped that the Li family could influence Miss Fu and even the Fu family to invest more in the mainland and introduce more technology. Naturally, they did not think there was anything wrong with the two talking like this.

After Fu Qiyuan, as the head of the household, finished exchanging pleasantries with Li Quyi, he then greeted these bigwigs one by one.

"Mr. Fu, it's been a long time. We were very grateful for your invaluable assistance during our last technical exchange..."

"Speaking of which, isn't the White Swan Hotel in Guangzhou almost finished?"

They discussed both private and public matters. Those in high positions were very adept at controlling the conversation. From the Fu family's private affairs, one could glean insights into the situation in Hong Kong. Fu Qiyuan revealed what he was willing to disclose in a relaxed and humorous manner.

He was attending a wedding, but it didn't seem like it.

So, although Mr. Fu attended the weddings of the Li family's two sons, it was merely a coincidence. As for Fu Ziyan deliberately coming to the capital to attend the weddings... isn't it perfectly normal for a young person to come to the wedding of an old friend when they just happen to know about it?

Miss Fu said it couldn't be more normal; that's just her persona.

Although she possesses the skills and abilities expected of an heir, she is also a young girl who was spoiled and pampered by her father. She is kind, lively, and playful, as well as those in the upper echelons of mainland China who have followed Fu Ziyan know.

Miss Fu, who loves to play, sat up straight, ready to watch the drama unfold.

After all, when toasting elders, one is bound to be teased, and as she expected, that was exactly what happened.

Li Zitao and his wife toasted each other.

Deng Xiaoping, who is now a very important figure in the country, smiled and sighed: "Back when we were in the Southwest, I held you in my arms. In the blink of an eye, more than 20 years have passed. The little one who used to struggle to turn over in bed has grown up and started a family."

Liao Gong also laughed as he recounted Li Zitao's mischievous and amusing childhood stories.

The VIPs present responded enthusiastically, and Li Zitao, the younger generation and the groom, blushed with embarrassment, his ears puffing out shyly. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw his cousin, who was listening intently with wide eyes.

Li Zitao: ? ? ?

Oh no! His dark past has been exposed by this wretched younger sister!

Li Zitao felt his vision going black and black again.
