Chapter 716: 0706 Of course, it’s my honor

Su Ran narrowed her eyes, “Hmm?”

Fu Qixiu instantly covered his mouth and shook once, curling up into a ball in the corner.

His face showed the expression of a virtuous woman who would rather die than comply.

Su Ran rolled her eyes speechlessly and got out of the car first.

Seeing that certain someone still sitting in the car, unwilling to part, her patience ran out.

“Get out of the car!”

Fu Qixiu shuddered all over and quickly got out of the car to join Su Ran.

Su Ran gave him a satisfied glance and was about to hook her arm through his as they walked into the banquet hall.

However, as she barely lifted her wrist, that person, like a frightened spitz, leapt three meters away in a single bound, keeping a definite distance from her.

Su Ran: “…”

Was she some sort of plague spirit?

She frowned, “Come here!”

Fu Qixiu shook his head, resolutely defiant, “I won’t!”

Su Ran stared at him, the corners of her mouth suddenly curling into a sinister smile.

“You won’t come over, huh?”

As she spoke, she took out her phone from her purse.

Seeing this, Fu Qixiu’s eyes widened.

“What are you going to do?”

“Tattle.”

Fu Qixiu: “…”

It was the first time he had seen someone declare “tattling” with so much righteousness.

Yet he had no countermeasure whatsoever!

In the end, under the tyranny of Su Ran, Fu Qixiu still moved step by step to her side.

The expression on his face was one of resignation to fate!

Approaching her meant death!

Not approaching still meant death!

Either way, today was his “execution day”!

Su Ran couldn’t help but twitch her lips and extended her hand to hook his arm.

Fu Qixiu shuddered all over, his entire body stiffening.

That was it; his little life was over!

Why did his brother’s woman have to make him suffer?!

Fu Qixiu had a grim face the entire way, until they reached the entrance of the banquet hall, where Su Ran finally couldn’t stand it anymore.

“Can you not look happier? Someone who doesn’t know better might think I’ve kidnapped you!”

Hadn’t he basically been kidnapped?

Fu Qixiu forced a smile, his face forming an awkward grin.

As the two of them just entered the banquet hall, they immediately caused a sensation.

“Look, look, the Second Young Master has finally arrived!”

“Wow, the Second Young Master is so handsome, my legs are going weak!”

“Hm? Who’s that woman next to the Second Young Master? Ugh, how dare she hook the Second Young Master’s arm.”

“But she’s so pretty, they look like a good match!”

“A good match? She has the face of a seductress, still dreaming of the position of the Second Young Master’s Wife, without even looking at herself… mmm mmm mmm…”

Before the woman could finish, someone nearby covered her mouth.

After struggling free, she looked displeased.

“What are you doing?”

“What am I doing? I’m saving your life. Do you know who that person is? Stop making baseless accusations!”

“Who?” the woman asked casually.

Since they were able to attend the Fu family’s banquet, everyone’s background was not insignificant, so there really wasn’t a question of who was afraid of whom.

“The champion of this year’s World Designer Competition, the uncrowned king who has won seven consecutive competitions, R.”

Upon hearing this, the woman rolled her eyes.

“Psh, I thought it was someone important, but it turns out it’s just a little designer.”

“What do you know, she’s not only the hottest designer internationally, her methods are even more remarkable!”

“Not to mention tearing her own sister to shreds, she even single-handedly acquired the Su Family and the Gu Family.”

“Let’s not even go into that right now. You know about the Chu Family, don’t you? They’ve been in collaboration with the Fu Family for many years, and the Global Mall under the Fu Consortium is quite the coveted prize, eyed by many.”

“Ah, I know, my family also went through so much effort to get a spot there.”

“Ours did too…”

“What does that have to do with her?” the woman asked.

“What does it have to do with her? She directly pushed out the Chu Family’s partnership and successfully got her own brand into the mall, what do you think?”

“Hiss… that brutal? The Fu Family and the Chu Family have been allies for generations, cutting off partnerships like this is unprecedented.”

“And I’ve also heard that the Chu Family’s young miss has a close relationship with the elder young master of the Fu Family, who even considers her the future lady of the house.”

“So, if she can push out someone with that kind of connection, just imagine her craftiness and ability. With your naive ignorance, you wouldn’t even know how you died if you end up in her hands, and you still dare to blindly criticize her, you better watch out!”

Upon hearing this, the woman trembled all over.

“I’m actually going up against such a person for a man, she didn’t overhear just now, did she?”

“Relax, she didn’t even give you a glance.”

“That’s good, that’s very good!”

In the private hall upstairs, Old Master Fu’s shrewd eyes narrowed slightly as he watched Su Ran appear with Fu Qixiu.

His serious gaze settled on Su Ran, his eyebrows tightly furrowed.

Because of Fu Qixiu’s appearance with Su Ran, many who had designs on him immediately abandoned their thoughts.

And those who knew of Su Ran’s maneuvers didn’t even dare to fantasize.

Fu Qixiu was in an unusually good mood.

However, he was happy too soon.

The attendees at today’s banquet were all ladies from prominent families, who maintained their own upbringing and dignity.

They wouldn’t approach him indiscreetly in spite of etiquette, seeing that Fu Qixiu had brought a female companion.

But this certainly didn’t include the seniors who were eager to marry their nieces and granddaughters to him.

So in no time at all, someone’s joy turned into sorrow.

Surrounded by people, he was subjected to a succession of matchmaking onslaughts.

In the minds of these people, they’d probably already decided on the names of his future children.

“Qi Xiu, this is the daughter of the second aunt’s cousin’s wife’s brother, just graduated from college, she likes you, why don’t you two talk more?”

“Qi Xiu, this is the daughter of a cousin’s aunt’s uncle, she’s the same age as you, even majors in the same field, you two will definitely get along well…”

“Qi Xiu, this is the youngest daughter of the mother’s cousin’s father’s niece, she’s a year older than you but totally your type, she’d make a great wife.”

“Qi Xiu, this is the grandniece of the maternal grandaunt, you two are a match made in heaven, one handsome and one beautiful, the kids you’ll have will certainly be pretty!”

“Qi Xiu, Qi Xiu…”

“…”

Fu Qixiu was encircled by all his aunts and other relatives, surrounded by a gaggle of affected, coy birds, all incessantly introducing themselves to him.

It was like being surrounded by three hundred ducks, utterly deafening.

Poor him, calling for daddy was useless, calling for mommy was to no avail, and so he could only cast a look of utter desperation at Su Ran, who was enjoying the spectacle from the sidelines.

Fu Qixiu: [Awoo, sister-in-law, save me!]

Su Ran, smiling: [Good luck with that!]

Fu Qixiu: “…”

This heartless bastard!

Su Ran, holding a glass of champagne, watched Fu Qixiu being besieged, when a girl with a blushing face sidled up beside her.

“Hi R, I’m your loyal fan Fu Yizhi, can I get to know you?”

Su Ran lifted her gaze and saw a pretty and delicate young girl looking at her with flushed cheeks.

She was fidgeting with her fingers, her expression embarrassed and shy.

Fu?

Su Ran’s lips curved up, her eyebrows tinged with a shimmering smile.

Gently clinking her champagne with the girl’s, she said with a smile:

“Of course, it’s my pleasure!”
