The obedient girl glances up, and the tyrannical tycoon kneels down to pamper her.

Fu family.

Many cars arrived one after another at the gate, but each car was very low-key, and everyone was dressed modestly, especially the ladies and young women of each family, who were dressed very elegantly.

After all, it was Old Master Fu's birthday banquet, not a cocktail party.

Even Pei Youyou, who is usually high-profile, dressed very conservatively.

Most of the people passing by knew each other and would greet each other.

Even a simple greeting has its nuances; those of higher status never take the initiative, while Pei Youyou always belongs to the type who waits for others to greet her.

However, this time, quite a few people came up to greet her, but far fewer than before.

Pei Youyou suddenly felt a tightness in her chest, and she knew why.

The news of Lin Zhengyu changing her surname has already spread. Even though she is still the eldest daughter of the Pei family and still carries the title of Mrs. Lin, she will be affected to some extent.

The tendency to fawn over the powerful and belittle the weak is particularly evident in upper-class circles.

Fortunately, no one is rushing to call Pei Youyou Mrs. Lin. The Pei family is not in decline; today, President Pei of the Pei Corporation is also here.

A golden bachelor.

Many people's dream girl wouldn't have remained unmoved if they weren't afraid of being bullied by Pei Youyou, their sister-in-law, after marrying her.

Pei Youyou is already married, so now is the best time to get to know her.

As soon as Pei Yuanzhou entered, a group of people came up to greet him. Pei Youyou glanced at them and saw that many of them came from ordinary families, which made her purse her lips.

Looking at those people, he muttered under his breath, "They think they're worthy?"

There was also an unfamiliar face among them, of average appearance and slightly chubby, whose eyes were practically gleaming as she looked at her brother, and she was practically drooling.

Looking at all those big logos, it's just so tacky.

Pei Youyou tugged at Lin Zhengyu's arm and asked with a look of disgust, "Who is that woman?"

Lin Zhengyu looked over and said, "The daughter of a nouveau riche."

"Why is that nouveau riche so close to my brother?" Pei Youyou immediately shouted, "Brother, Zhengyu is looking for you."

Pei Youyou smiled and told the people around her that she had something to do. She came to Lin Zhengyu's side, but he knew that there was nothing wrong. He just wanted to help her out of a predicament.

However, as more and more guests arrived, before the hosts appeared, it was time for them to socialize freely, and Lin Zhengyu and Pei Yuanzhou immersed themselves in the group of men.

Since Pei's mother didn't come, Pei Youyou had no choice but to go find Xing's mother and Xing Yurou. She ended up surrounded by women and heard others praising Xing Yurou for her graceful appearance and how well her cheongsam suited her.

She glanced at it and thought it was nothing special.

Winter cheongsams are thicker, making it difficult to show off the waistline.

Then the man asked, "Does Miss Xing have a boyfriend?"

The person who asked this question has an unmarried son, but his family background is not as good as the Xing family's.

Xing Yuru said no, and Xing's mother smiled and said, "She's only twenty. We want to keep her for a few more years."

Actually, she looked down on the son of the family in front of her.

Just then, Pei Youyou came over, and Xing's mother changed the subject, saying, "Let me introduce you, this is my daughter-in-law, Pei Youyou."

Who doesn't know the spoiled and arrogant young lady of the Pei family?

The woman opposite them realized that the conversation was being changed and that the Xing family looked down on them, so she gave up on the idea.

Suddenly, he asked again, "Madam Xing, where are your eldest son and daughter-in-law?"

The problems that are bound to come will come sooner or later.

Xing's mother calmly replied using Pei Youyou's words: "Haven't it been snowing and getting colder lately? Yanzhao and Luo Huai aren't feeling well, so we've let them rest at home."

Xing Yuru sighed, "My brother looks so strong, yet he caught a cold. Mom, after Grandpa Fu's birthday banquet, can I go see my brother and sister-in-law?"

Xing's mother didn't want her daughter to go, lest she be led astray.

But with so many people watching, she had to smile and say, "Of course, Yanzhao is your older brother."

"Thank you, Mom," Xing Yuru said with a smile.

Pei Youyou curled her lips into a cold smile, laughing at Xing Yurou for being a naive and innocent girl. The more Xing Yurou tried to get closer to Xing Yanzhao and Luo Huai, the more disgusted her mother-in-law would feel.

"Really?" A voice sounded from behind. Tang Zhu, holding her daughter's hand, stood aside and said, "I thought it was just a made-up excuse that my sister-in-law was deliberately preventing Yanzhao and Xiao Luohuai from coming over."

Everyone looked at each other.

Why is Tang Zhu here?

Madam Xing and she were extremely at odds.

The atmosphere instantly became weird.

The lady who had just asked the question said, "Ms. Tang has misunderstood. Mrs. Xing is the eldest son's biological mother, so how could she not take him with her?"

"Who knows?" Tang Zhu smiled, her red lips dazzling and her smile bright. "But Yan Zhao isn't a child anymore, he doesn't need an adult to bring him to the banquet, he'll come on his own."

Mother Xing frowned slightly.

What do you mean?

Pei Youyou chuckled and said, "Auntie, is the Fu family so easy to get into?"

"If I hadn't seen you, I definitely wouldn't have known how to get in. Now that I've seen you, I'm not so sure." Tang Zhu was once the most dazzling thorny rose in Ningcheng, never letting herself suffer a loss.

Suddenly, her daughter pointed to the door and said, "Mom, my older brother and sister-in-law are here! We were really faster than them!"

Tang Zhu tapped his daughter's nose: "Of course, Daddy can carry you and run like the wind."

The little girl giggled, revealing her missing front tooth. Tang Zhu couldn't help but smile and let go of her hand, allowing her to go find Luo Huai.

Everyone's eyes followed the little girl as she walked.

Sure enough, Xing Yanzhao and Luo Huai were seen.

Xing's mother suddenly stood up, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Pei Youyou exclaimed in surprise, "How is that possible?"

The ladies around were all shrewd and immediately understood the meaning behind Tang Zhu's words. They exchanged glances, their expressions becoming intriguing.

“That’s Grandpa Yu.” Xing Yuru looked at the people coming in through the door and saw that the old man in the middle was Grandpa Yu.

The Yu family all came.

The person supporting Old Master Yu is known as Young Master Yu, Yu Bosen.

Yu Bosen had something pinned to his jacket...

"The Rain Flowing Brooch," Xing Yuru whispered, subconsciously touching her chest where the black jade pendant that Old Master Yu had given her in return hung.

The eldest brother and sister-in-law came in with the Yu family.

The wilderness was also nearby.

She went to ask her mother, "Mom, aren't my eldest brother and sister-in-law sick?"

Xing's mother's smile froze, and she remained silent.

A soft laugh came from Tang Zhu.

His face instantly darkened.

Pei Youyou was still standing to the side, saying, "How is that possible?"

When the Yu family appeared, Old Master Fu came out upon hearing the noise. He first exchanged a few words with Old Master Yu, and then looked at the person next to his grandson.

"Mr. Kuang."

“Old Master Fu.” Kuang Ye immediately extended his hand. “Old Master Fu, you can just call me Kuang Ye.”

He glanced at his assistant behind him, who immediately presented him with two gifts.

"This is a small token of my brother and sister-in-law's appreciation. I hope Mr. Fu won't find it offensive."

"As long as the person comes, that's fine. If Bosen were half as capable as you, Old Man Yu and I would be laughing our heads off." Old Fu said with a smile, then looked at Xing Yanzhao and Luo Huai beside him.

Xing Yanzhao respectfully greeted, "Old Fu."

Luo Huai smiled and called out, "Grandpa Fu."

She reached out and gently rubbed her little cousin's leg, which was hugging her.

Old Fu responded with a strong "Eh," telling them to make themselves at home and then chatted and laughed with Old Master Yu before walking away.

To others, what just happened revealed a close relationship between Xing Yanzhao, Luo Huai, and the Kuang family of Chaoye Technology, as well as the Fu and Yu families.

Especially Young Master Yu, who is on friendly terms with President Kuang, and even the eldest son of the Xing family has to call him "Brother Xing" by Young Master Yu, and Luo Huai has to call him "Sister-in-law" by Young Master Yu, which is simply enviable.

The man whom so many people beg and plead for, the young master whom the Xing family just found, is actually on the same page as the Yu family. He even came to the Fu family and received a handshake from Old Master Fu himself.

Lin Zhengyu and Pei Yuanzhou watched the scene at the door, their hands gripping their wine glasses tightening, their knuckles turning white, and their gazes suddenly becoming deep and unfathomable.

Xing's mother and Pei Youyou also turned slightly pale.

They had barely finished speaking when the person walked in.

Isn't this like slapping them in the face?

Xing Yuru looked delighted: "Big brother and sister-in-law are all better!"

Tang Zhu generally doesn't engage in the practice of collective punishment, and her attitude towards Xing Yuru has always been normal. She casually said, "Your elder brother and sister-in-law are not sick at all."
