Chapter 717: 0707 If you can’t be the eldest sister-in-law, you can be the second sister-in-law.

Fu Yizhi’s face felt hot, and for some reason, her ears turned a bit red.

Oh my…

Why did she suddenly find R so tantalizing!

Su Ran always had more patience with pretty, attractive young girls than usual.

It didn’t take long before she coaxed Fu Yizhi into calling her “Sister Su” constantly.

And Su Ran, in turn, got the information she wanted from the young girl.

“Oh? The Fu family already has a pre-arranged Eldest Young Madam?”

Fu Yizhi nodded vigorously, “Mhm, my brother’s wife is connected to the future of the Fu family. Grandfather had it arranged since childhood. Today’s event is just a formality. None of these people stands a chance!”

Su Ran took a sip of the champagne in her hand to hide the fleeting gleam in her eyes.

When she looked up again, her face bore the usual bright and benevolent smile.

“Is that so? I wonder which family’s daughter is so fortunate.”

Fu Yizhi sweetly said, “It’s Elder Sister Chu.”

Su Ran’s smile deepened, “The Chu family? Is it the one equally famous as the Fu family, the one with good relations?”

“Yes, that’s the one.”

Su Ran chuckled, “It seems like Yizhi and Miss Chu have a good relationship?”

Fu Yizhi scratched her head embarrassedly, “Actually, not really. Sister Chu doesn’t really like to hang out with us. Usually, she only talks with my oldest and second brothers. Dad says Sister Chu is different from us; she doesn’t have time to play house with us kids.”

“Different?”

“Mhm, Sister Chu is the future leader of the Chu family. She grew up with my oldest and second brothers, a childhood sweetheart to them both. Furthermore, she is Grandfather’s top choice for a granddaughter-in-law.

Plus, Sister Chu is so talented. She’s proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, can sing and dance, master martial arts, and even at such a young age possesses impressive skills–handling family affairs. She went to Europe to study last year and just returned yesterday.”

Su Ran raised an eyebrow, feeling curiously about this near-perfect woman Yizhi described.

“Will she come today?”

Fu Yizhi confirmed with a nod, “She will.”

As she spoke, she scanned her surroundings warily, leaned towards Su Ran, and said mysteriously:

“I heard from Dad that Grandfather is hosting this banquet today to announce the marriage between my oldest brother and Sister Chu. These socialite daughters are just a smokescreen. Sister Su, I’ve only told you. You mustn’t tell anyone else, okay?”

Su Ran nodded with a smile.

Silly child, you have told the very person you shouldn’t have.

A marriage arrangement?

It seemed Old Master Fu was quite dissatisfied with her!

But today, he was destined to be disappointed!

Finally, Su Ran asked the question she cared about the most.

“That Miss Chu must be very beautiful, right?”

Fu Yizhi’s eyes shone brightly, “Mhm, Sister Chu is the most beautiful person I’ve seen, but that was before.”

Su Ran raised an eyebrow, “Before?”

“Right, I now think Sister Su is more beautiful, uh… Of course, Sister Chu is also pretty. It’s just that she’s missing something compared to Sister Su, it’s… it’s… I don’t really know how to describe it.”

Upon hearing this, Su Ran felt instantly pleased.

Though everyone possesses a love for beauty.

It was utterly unacceptable for a love rival to be more attractive than oneself.

Su Ran pinched the troubled little girl’s cheek and said:

“Thank you, you’re pretty too!”

Fu Yizhi’s cheeks flushed, a bashful expression on her face.

She liked Sister Su the most!

If only Sister Su could be her sister-in-law!

Elsewhere, Fu Qixiu had barely escaped alive from the crowd.

Good heavens!

These women were too terrifying!

Who says women are made of water?

Show yourself! He promised not to beat you to death.

If he had to marry these women, he’d rather stay single for life.

Fu Qixiu wiped the sweat off his forehead, his anger surging as he watched a certain scoundrel flirting.

What happened to our revolutionary friendship?

This bastard actually abandoned him!

He ran over to Su Ran with a “thump thump thump,” outrageously angry.

“Heartless jerk, I was having a near-death experience over there, and you’re here flirting with girls. I was just begging for help, and you totally ignored me, you… you went too far!”

Su Ran raised an eyebrow and chuckled, “Didn’t I just not want to block your romantic opportunities?”

Fu Qixiu’s handsome face was piled with grievance, and he said, tears welling up:

“That’s not romantic opportunity, it’s a disaster, sist–”

He had barely uttered a syllable when Su Ran’s expression sharpened, and her gaze shot over like a knife, scaring Fu Qixiu so much that he swallowed back the “sister-in-law” that he was about to blurt out.

He shrank his neck, looking even more aggrieved, and said weakly:

“Su Xiaoran, we agreed to walk shoulder to shoulder. Who’s the ungrateful dog, huh? You just left me for dead, sniffle sniffle… You’re utterly heartless and unreasonable!”

Su Ran:”…”

When Fu Yizhi turned around with a new glass of champagne, she saw Fu Qixiu standing next to Su Ran.

“Huh? Second Brother, you’re here?”

Fu Qixiu’s face darkened, and he almost choked on his own blood.

“I’ve freaking been here for a while now!”

After all, he’s also a remarkably handsome guy!

This little girl actually didn’t notice him.

Fu Yizhi pursed her lips, “Oh, I didn’t see.”

As she spoke, she turned back, looking excitedly at Su Ran.

“Sister Su, let me toast you another drink.”

Su Ran curved her lips into a smile, took the glass from Fu Yizhi’s hand, gently clinked it against her own, and downed it in one go.

“Drinking hurts the body, so I’ll drink this toast for you.”

Fu Yizhi cupped her face, her eyes twinkling as she watched Su Ran.

Sister Su is so cool, so charming!

“Su Xiaoran, you heartless beast, you’re even going after a little girl.”

Seeing Fu Yizhi, who was utterly smitten, Fu Qixiu got angry.

This jerk was actually better at flirting than him?

This isn’t scientific!

Fu Yizhi’s eyes suddenly lit up as she heard him.

“Second Brother, do you know Sister Su?”

Sister Su?

Heh!

“…Of course.”

Fu Yizhi then asked, “How did you meet?”

Fu Qixiu rolled his eyes, “We came here together, how else would we know each other?”

As he spoke, he intended to have a sip of wine to calm his nerves, but he heard little Miss Fu Yizhi say:

“Came together? Second Brother, could it be that Sister Su is my future second sister-in-law?”

“Pfft–”

Fu Qixiu sprayed out all of his red wine.

Second… second sister-in-law?

Where did she get such a terrifying idea?

If his own brother found out…

Fu Qixiu trembled all over, just about to set things straight with Fu Yizhi since it involved his life.

Then he sees the little miss looking at him disdainfully, and muttered:

“Impossible, Sister Su isn’t blind, how could she take a fancy to you, Second Brother!”

She had originally thought that since Sister Su couldn’t be her eldest brother’s wife, then she could be the second brother’s wife!

After all, why let good things go to waste!

But now it seemed that Second Brother simply didn’t measure up to Sister Su!

It was basically a fresh flower on top of cow dung!

Fu Qixiu: “…”

Little girl, I advise you to be kind.

Listening to their conversation, Su Ran couldn’t help but laugh to herself.

And at that moment, a burst of surprised voices suddenly came from the entrance of the banquet hall–
