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

Lu Shiyi looked at her friend and said, "You said it yourself, a whirlwind marriage is a gamble. If it weren't for a last resort, who would be willing to gamble with their marriage? You have many better options, don't be impulsive."

Tang Yiran pouted. She had indeed been a bit too quick-witted just now. A whirlwind marriage? Not to mention herself, she wouldn't be able to get past her parents' approval.

The crucial point is that she doesn't even have a potential marriage partner yet.

She waved her hands irritably a few times, "Ugh, let's not talk about this anymore. My mom keeps pressuring me to find a partner at home, and now you're bringing up the topic again. Single people can't be subjected to this kind of stimulation everywhere they go. Let's change the subject."

"Has Yao Yao been discharged from the hospital these past couple of days? How is she? Is she feeling better?"

Tang Yiran changed the subject.

Upon hearing this, Lu Shiyi, who was pouring water for her friend, looked gloomy.

Last night, she wanted to have some barbecue to vent her frustrations, but Fu Cheng was clearly not a suitable person to confide in. She was annoyed by his saliva and parasites, so she barely ate any of the barbecue and got drunk.

In the past, she, her best friend Tangtang, and Yaoyao would often sit together to complain about life and dream about the future. Tangtang knew about Yaoyao's situation.

Therefore, Lu Shiyi didn't intend to hide it from her friend. She brought the water to her friend and then sat down on the sofa. "Yaoyao isn't doing well."

"What happened? Is it still because of her in-laws' family?"

Tang Yiran noticed her friend's expression suddenly turn from sunny to cloudy and couldn't help but feel concerned.

Lu Shiyi nodded and then told her friend what had happened after her sister was discharged from the hospital.

After hearing this, Tang Yiran spoke up for Yao Yao, saying, "Those in-laws are really bullying people. What? Marrying into their family doesn't mean I'm selling myself to them. Are they crippled or have broken arms? Making someone who just got discharged from the hospital cook for them? Aren't they afraid of getting retribution and choking to death?"

"Yaoyao is such a good girl, with a good temper, a kind heart, and she's also beautiful and lovely. Marrying her is a blessing their family has accumulated over countless generations. They don't know how to cherish her; they'll regret it..."

Tang Yiran vented her anger, then picked up her water glass and took a big gulp. She continued, "Let Yao Yao get a divorce. This family is rotten to the core. Don't expect them to have a change of heart and treat Yao Yao well again someday. The sooner they divorce, the sooner they'll be free."

Lu Shiyi held the water glass in both hands, head down, and remained silent.

She agreed with her friend's words. If it's just a difference in lifestyle, it can be worked out. After all, everyone born into this world is an independent individual. No one can fit together perfectly like a gear. There is a lot of tolerance and compromise between each other.

But my sister's in-laws are different; their values ​​and nature can't be changed through compromise alone.

She had considered getting her sister divorced, but it was ultimately her sister's own marriage and life. As an adult, others could only offer advice; the final decision was up to her.

After a moment of silence, Lu Shiyi looked up at her friend and said, "I believe Yao Yao can make her own decision. All I can do is support her unconditionally."

Tang Yiran nodded vigorously, "Yes, and me too. If you need any help, just ask. Don't hesitate to ask."

After hearing Yao Yao's story, she suddenly felt that it didn't really matter whether she was single or not. If she couldn't meet a good man with a good family background, she might as well stay single.

Lu Shiyi looked deeply at his friend and said, "Your words are enough."

After chatting for a few more minutes, Lu Shiyi took out her notebook and started working on her things, while Tang Yiran also got busy with hers.

She plans to stay at her friend's place until evening before going home, wanting to show her mother her attitude of resisting pressure to get married and that she will never back down.

The two had barely settled into their work routine when suddenly Lu Shiyi shouted "Wow!" startling Tang Yiran so much that her soul almost left her body.

"Eleven, what's with all this sudden excitement? Are you trying to scare me to death so you can inherit my Alipay account?"

Lu Shiyi looked at her friend with excitement, "My last project just ended, and a new order I applied for a couple of days ago has already been accepted, and the price is even higher than last time."

As she spoke, she pushed her notebook toward her friend, letting her see for herself.

Tang Yiran turned her head and glanced at it. As someone who was unfamiliar with the industry, she didn't quite understand it either. She only noticed that her friend's order had been accepted by a company called Fangxin Technology, and the price was indeed high.

She gave Lu Shiyi a thumbs up, "My Shiyi is amazing, I can already see the next big meal beckoning to me."

Lu Shiyi happily pulled back the notebook. "No problem. After this project is successfully accepted, I'll treat you to the most expensive meal in Nanshi."

In fact, she was referring to the place that Fu Cheng had taken her to last time.

Tang Yiran, a foodie, immediately perked up after hearing this, "Okay, you have to keep your word, come on, let's pinky swear."

"Pinky promise, yeah..."

After saying that, the two of them, like elementary school students, made a pinky promise and stamped it before continuing with their own business.

Fu Group, President's Office.

Fu Cheng was engrossed in signing documents, which was his first priority when he arrived at the company each day, before he would officially begin his workday according to the schedule.

But he was a little different today; a faint smile remained on his lips as he signed the documents.

Especially when he thought of Lu Shiyi's wide-eyed expression, he couldn't help but smile.

This is what they call "trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead." It's an unpleasant saying, but it conveys the same meaning.

He couldn't help but tease his wife again, and even touched his own lips.

Unfortunately, He Ze, who had come to report on his work, witnessed this scene.

"Hey, Lao Fu, what's the good news? Share it with me!"

When Fu Cheng saw him come in, the smile on his lips vanished instantly.

He said coldly, "Share what? Nothing."

He Ze walked up to his desk. "I saw it all. Your expression was so weird. Tell me, tell me."

That expression would be normal on anyone else, but on Fu Cheng, who is as unyielding as a tree that never blooms, it was just bizarre.

He was certain, and he wasn't seeing things.

But Fu Cheng wasn't satisfied with He Ze's insatiable gossip, and ruthlessly changed the subject, "What brings you here?"

He Ze pursed his lips, having no choice but to give up.

"We're going to attend some kind of corporate joint meeting later, so I've brought you a list of the company representatives attending."

The Enterprise Joint Conference is an industry event spearheaded by the Fu Group, and the participants are mainly companies that have partnerships with the group.

As the leading enterprise of the Fu Group, Fu Cheng would naturally have to participate personally.

When He Ze handed over the list, he specifically pointed out: "Fang Mingyu from Fangxin Technology will also participate."

The last time Fang Mingyu came over, it was Fu Cheng who personally discussed the cooperation with him, not for any other reason than because he was his love rival.

So He Ze thoughtfully pointed it out, because he's the boss's confidant.

Unexpectedly, Fu Cheng raised his eyes, his brows slightly furrowed, "Why single him out? Is it because he's handsome?"

He Ze: "..."

Not as handsome as you, not as handsome as you, okay...
