“Youyou is polite.” Jiao Yuebai took Lu Youyou’s hand and pointed at the woman behind her with a smile. “This is your Sister-in-law! Chen Fengxia. Your eldest brother, second brother, and third brother are talking in Old Master’s study. They’ll be down soon.”

Lu Youyou smiled sweetly and politely. “Hello, Sister-in-law!”

Chen Fengxia smiled slightly. “Oh my, such a beautiful girl and so polite of you. Fourth Brother is so lucky!”

“If our Old Master hadn’t acted quickly, we wouldn’t have been able to get such an outstanding daughter-in-law!” Jiao Yuebai smiled as she pulled Lu Youyou towards the sofa.

However, Lu Youyou subtly avoided Jiao Yuebai’s hand. She smiled apologetically and said, “Auntie Bai, you guys go ahead. We’ll follow you.” Then, she pushed Fang Yichu’s wheelchair without another word.

At this moment, Jiao Yuebai and Chen Fengxia remembered about Fang Yichu. It couldn’t be helped. In the Fang family, Fang Yichu had always been the forgotten one.

“I knew it.” Chen Fengxia could only pull Jiao Yuebai away to ease the awkwardness. “We don’t have to worry about Fourth Brother anymore. He has someone to dote on and love him now.”

Lu Youyou pushed Fang Yichu’s wheelchair steadily and did not react to Chen Fengxia’s words. She could not see Fang Yichu’s expression at this moment. She thought that he should still have that calm expression on his face. In the Fang family, everyone else could ignore his presence except for her. The reason for her being here today was because of the Fourth Young Master of the Fang family, Fang Yichu. Otherwise, how does Mrs. Fang come about?

Lu Youyou sat on the sofa and watched as the maid brought her a glass of orange juice. She took out Fang Yichu’s pen and paper and handed them to him. “Do you want something to drink?” she asked in a gentle tone.

Jiao Yuebai and Chen Fengxia were stunned when they heard this. The maid was also a little embarrassed. It was not that they did not want to provide any food or drink to Fang Yichu. Ever since Fang Yichu had the car accident, he refused to touch any food in the Fang family. If he needed anything, he would get Gu Cheng or Gu Fan to buy it.

Fang De had even got into arguments with Fang Yichu over this matter.

However, Fang Yichu had a very strange personality. No matter how angry Fang De was, he remained calm and ignored him.

As time passed, the Fang family stopped preparing food and drinks for Fang Yichu.

Chen Fengxia thought that Lu Youyou was the new daughter-in-law and did not know much about the Fang family’s past. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Fang Yichu write on the snow-white paper – “Want yours”.

The women of the Fang family were shocked, but Lu Youyou was calm.

She looked at the paper and her eyes shifted slightly. Fang Yichu wrote the word, “Want yours”. If he wanted orange juice as she did, he would have written orange juice instead. So what he meant was that he wanted her current glass. It was orange juice all the same, but he insisted on hers?

Lu Youyou thought about how no one in the Fang family served Fang Yichu drinks and thought to herself. “Could it be that Fang Yichu does not eat or drink anything from the Fang family?”

The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed to be. She picked up her glass of orange juice and put it in his hand. “I didn’t know your rules,” she said apologetically. “But I do now and it won’t happen again.”

Jiao Yuebai and Chen Fengxia were shocked again! Fang Yichu had only written two words to Lu Youyou, which was unbelievable in itself considering his usual one-word answers in the past. Moreover, Lu Youyou actually correctly inferred Fang Yichu’s rule of not taking any drinks in the Fang family through these two simple words. This Lu Youyou was not a simple girl!

“Give Miss Lu another glass of orange juice.” Chen Fengxia smiled at the maid as if nothing had happened.

Jiao Yuebai lowered her eyes to hide the glint in her eyes. She thought that Lu Youyou was only 19 years old and would be foolish and naive. Even if the Lu family had some clout, what could a crippled man and a childish woman do? But now, if Fang De were to know that Lu Youyou was such an intelligent woman, this marriage alliance would take on an interesting turn.

At that moment, the elevator doors opened and Fang De strolled out, surrounded by his three sons. He looked at the strange little girl on the sofa and his smile deepened. “This must be Youyou!”

Lu Youyou stood up along with Jiao Yuebai and the others before greeting the newcomers with a polite smile. “Hello, Uncle! Hello, brothers!”

As soon as they met, Lu Youyou sized up the four men in front of her. Fang De wore a cream-colored, short-sleeved linen shirt with buttons, black pants, and black leather shoes. He was in his sixties, but he was full of energy. He must have been taking good care of his body albeit there were some age spots on his face and hands. He looked strict even when he smiled.

The man on Fang De’s left should be the Eldest Young Master, Fang Xuyan. He was in his forties and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. The white shirt and navy blue suit pants that he wore matched Chen Fengxia’s dignified appearance.
