After a blind date, a wealthy heir asked me to marry him.

Friday.

That is, the day of Old Master Fu's birthday.

Lu Shiyi and his wife got up early in the morning.

In previous years, the old man's birthday was always celebrated at the old manor, where his family, along with the Zeng family, would have a meal and get together.

But this year, for some reason, it was moved to the Nancheng Hotel.

After all, in order to prevent a man's lie from being exposed, there are too many lies to tell, too many lies to tell, and too much trouble to tell.

So, they changed the venue to a luxury private room at the Nancheng Hotel.

“The environment there is definitely fine. Tangtang and I went there once before, and it’s very upscale. But I think we should go there in advance to make some preparations, since it’s Grandpa’s birthday celebration, not just a simple meal,” Lu Shiyi suggested to her husband during breakfast.

"No need for all that trouble. At his age, Grandpa doesn't care about these formalities anymore."

Lu Shiyi glanced at Fu Cheng across from her and corrected him, "This isn't a formality, it's a sense of ritual."

"And how many more birthdays like this can Grandpa have? It's precisely because of his age that he needs a sense of ritual. They say that old people are like children, getting younger as they get older. Although he doesn't care about these things, he'll definitely like them."

Fu Cheng raised his eyes and gave his wife a deep look.

Perhaps only someone with genuine care and respect like her could consider such details.

"Then I'll call the manager over there later and ask them to arrange for someone to make the arrangements, so we don't need to go there in advance."

"Okay, that works too." Lu Shiyi then happily continued eating.

"By the way, you took the day off today, right?"

“Yes, I have. Strictly speaking, it’s a leave of absence; our company offers birthday leave,” Fu Cheng replied.

"Birthday leave? You can even take leave for your grandfather's birthday?" Lu Shiyi found it somewhat unbelievable.

"No, it's the employee's own birthday. There's no rule that they have to take the day off on their birthday. They can take the day off anytime of the year."

"Oh, I see. Your company's benefits are indeed quite good," Lu Shiyi remarked.

The company she joined after graduation wasn't small, but it didn't offer her this kind of treatment.

"Yes, our boss is quite wise. He doesn't exploit his employees but focuses more on their physical and mental well-being, which is the only way to ensure long-term success."

Fu Cheng unconsciously bragged a bit.

Fu's Group employee: The boss is right. We are all willing to work like cattle and horses for the company. The key is that the salary and benefits the boss gives are worth it for us to work so hard!

After breakfast.

Lu Shiyi went to the balcony to admire the flowers and pet the cat, and then went to her room to read for a while.

Her husband rarely opened up his territory, even allowing her to read his books freely, so she had to seize the opportunity.

In case he suddenly changes his mind someday.

Before we knew it, it was time to leave.

When the couple arrived at the Nancheng Hotel, the hotel manager was already waiting at the entrance.

But he just waited there, neither daring to claim the boss nor giving him a grand welcome.

Otherwise, you'll lose your job.

Yesterday, when Fu Cheng was explaining the private room reservation to the manager, he specifically emphasized that they should be treated as ordinary consumers, and that if the information was leaked, they should be fired immediately.

Although he didn't understand, the manager could only do as he was told: It's not easy being a beast of burden these days. If the boss says to go east, he would never dare to go west.

When Lu Shiyi and his wife arrived at the private room, Grandpa Fu was already inside.

In fact, the old man arrived very early in the morning.

He couldn't contain his excitement at the thought of his children and grandchildren gathering together, so he came early.

In particular, the hotel staff were meticulously decorating the private rooms.

He only found out after asking that it was his eldest grandson, Fu Cheng, who had specifically instructed him to do so.

But the old man knew in his heart that this was definitely his granddaughter-in-law Lu Shiyi's idea.

He knows his eldest grandson, Fu Cheng, all too well.

That blockhead of a kid would never think of these things.

Looking at the festive atmosphere of the birthday banquet in the private room, Old Master Fu, with his playful nature, was overjoyed.

Soon after, the others arrived one after another.

This private room is spacious and luxurious; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a small banquet hall.

There are so many people after all.

Old Master Fu had three sons and seven grandsons; there were quite a few close relatives of the Fu family alone.

In addition, there's the Zeng family's side.

Although it cannot compare to the Fu family in terms of manpower and prosperity, it is not much inferior.

Therefore, booking such a luxurious private room is perfectly reasonable.

This was the first time Lu Shiyi had met the entire Fu family since she got married.

Although she was a little nervous inside, she still appeared quite poised and confident.

Because there were many people present, Lu Shiyi had not yet met them.

Therefore, the first part of Grandpa Fu's birthday banquet was to recognize his relatives.

This was something the old man specifically suggested.

The granddaughter-in-law he personally selected must be introduced in a grand manner on this occasion!

This was to demonstrate the status and respect that his granddaughter-in-law deserved in the Fu family.

First and foremost are this line of Fu family grandchildren.

Fu Chen, the most outgoing of them all, was the first to speak, "Hello, sister-in-law."

After all, he was the first among the younger generation of the Fu family to have the honor of meeting his sister-in-law several times.

Next, voices rang out in order of age: "Hello, sister-in-law! Hello, sister-in-law! Hello, sister-in-law!"

Every time Lu Shiyi heard "Hello, sister-in-law," she would politely nod in response.

His demeanor and aura were undeniably dignified.

So much so that as she kept responding, she herself felt that things had gone a little off.

It gives off a vibe of a group of gangsters meeting with the gangster boss's woman.

Especially since Fu Cheng, a man with a powerful aura, was sitting next to her.

After getting to know the younger generation of the Fu family, Lu Shiyi got to know the second and third sons of the Fu family, namely his second and third uncles, as well as the Zeng family.

It must be said that the husband's family is truly large and prosperous; in ancient times, they would definitely be considered a large and powerful family.

Moreover, the family gets along very harmoniously, and it's clear that they are all very well-mannered.

After getting to know each other, everyone sat down and started chatting.

Grandpa Zeng and Grandpa Fu were friends for decades and were also elders, so they naturally sat next to each other.

The two of them were having a very pleasant conversation, especially in front of the room full of younger people.

Isn't this the greatest joy in life?

The left is superior to the right, and the south is superior to the north.

Therefore, the children on the left of the two elderly people were their sons (daughters), and the children on the right were their grandchildren.

Fu Cheng happened to sit next to Old Master Zeng.

After chatting with his old friend for a while, Grandpa Zeng turned to talk to Fu Cheng beside him.

"Xiao Cheng, how is the friend with the brain tumor you mentioned last time? Has the pain been relieved after taking the medication?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Cheng glanced at Lu Shiyi beside him, his expression somewhat unnatural.

"It has greatly relieved my pain, thank you, Grandpa Great-Grandpa."

"A friend with a brain tumor? Do I know him?" Lu Shiyi, who was standing nearby, overheard this and asked her husband out of curiosity.

Fu Cheng's eyes darted away. "That's one of my clients, you don't know him."

"Oh." Lu Shiyi breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought it was one of my friends."

At this moment, Grandpa Zeng spoke up: "It's good that there's some relief, but you must be careful not to let your friend get any stress, otherwise his condition will worsen, or he might even lose his life!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Cheng looked at his wife with a complicated expression.

Alas, he wondered how long he could keep up this insincere concealment...
