Chapter 443 "Sister, could you help me arrange a birthday surprise at Dreamland?"
Fu Ziyan was naturally unaware of Fu Zimu's troubles. She calmly instructed her secretary to notify the brand integration project team to conduct an inspection and cooperation with Muge Furniture, then waved the driver away and sped towards the Xiuluo headquarters.
"Mr. Gu, Chairman Fu is downstairs at the company."
Gu Anning, who was still working at the company after hours, was quite surprised to hear her secretary's report.
Why did Yan Yan suddenly come?
With a slight thought, Gu Anning was about to leave the office to go downstairs to greet them when greetings rang out from the secretary's office outside.
The office door opened, revealing Fu Ziyan's bright, beautiful, and powerful figure. Her voice was tinged with laughter: "I wonder how much longer President Gu will be busy? Can you spare some time for me tonight?"
Gu Anning softened her expression, as if a spring breeze were caressing her face: "Miss Fu has invited me, how could I dare refuse?"
She didn't ask why Qingqing wasn't there; clearly, Miss Xi was engrossed in a new project and too busy to keep her appointment with her friends.
Fu Ziyan raised her chin slightly and said reservedly, "Very good."
The two smiled at each other.
Fu Ziyan leaned back on the sofa, flipping through a magazine. When she looked up, she could see Gu Anning frowning and working at her desk.
This was the first time Fu Ziyan had seen Ningning working so diligently.
The setting sun cast its golden rays into the office, filling the room with a soft glow. Gu Anning seemed to be bathed in this light, her gaze sharp, her brows furrowing and relaxing intermittently as her pen glided across the documents, leaving a soft rustling sound. Perhaps mindful of her waiting, she flipped through the documents at a brisk pace.
The buff from their friend's wait proved quite effective. Working at double speed, Fu Ziyan and Gu Anning quickly went downstairs together and encountered Huo Yiran and her group in the lobby on the first floor.
"Yan Yan," Huo Yiran was greeted by an employee as soon as she entered the company building. She was not surprised to see Fu Ziyan. She smiled and said, "It's rare to see you come to the company."
"Cousin, cousin-in-law." Fu Ziyan nodded with a smile, her gaze falling on their intertwined hands, a hint of teasing in her eyes.
Yu Minhong remained calm and composed, seemingly unintentionally shaking his intertwined hands, naturally weaving the display of affection into every detail of their daily life: "I'm accompanying your sister-in-law to the company to handle some work. Yan Yan can come to my house for a visit when she has some free time."
His tone carried the composure that was expected.
In fact, as the heir of the prestigious Yu family, Yu Minhong should normally have business dinners or similar events even after get off work, but he instead spends his time taking his wife out for walks.
Fu Ziyan politely agreed, having grown accustomed to Yu Minhong's shameless displays of affection over the years.
After walking a distance, Gu Anning smiled and sighed, "Sister Yiran and Young Master Yu have such a good relationship."
Married for two or three years, they are still deeply in love, described by Hong Kong media as a "perfect couple." After all, couples who are well-matched in social standing and affection are rare among Hong Kong's wealthy families. More often, they are respectful to each other, or they are wealthy couples who each pursue their own interests without making a scene, or they are couples who are secretly plotting to seize the family fortune.
The saying goes, "The closest of relationships can be the most distant," and in wealthy families, couples are often "distant."
When the topic came up, Ms. Gu, a self-proclaimed "gossip expert," quickly shared some new juicy gossip with her.
"There's been a follow-up to the story of the third young lady of the Ye family who ran away from her wedding and went missing. You'd never guess it. The fourth young lady of the Ye family is having an affair with her future brother-in-law. The Ye family has been in chaos these past few days. Even Mrs. Ye has moved out of the Ye residence and into her new home in Repulse Bay."
Miss Ye the Third is Mrs. Ye's biological daughter, while Miss Ye the Fourth is the daughter of a concubine in the Ye family. Not long ago, the engagement between the Ye and Bai families was widely publicized, but on the day of the engagement, Miss Ye the Third left a letter and ran away, which immediately caused a sensation throughout the city and dominated the entertainment sections of major newspapers.
Even with the various newspapers responding, when Fu Ziyan reviewed the weekly revenue data submitted by Yanxin Newspaper Group, she still noticed a significant increase in the daily sales of Xinmeng Daily.
According to analysts, newspapers mentioning "Ye Bai's marriage and Ye San's elopement" saw a significant increase in sales during that period. It was practically a headline story of the era; anything with that tag was guaranteed to go viral.
Because of this, even though Fu Ziyan wasn't free during that time, she still knew about Miss Ye's elopement. She raised an eyebrow: "You even managed to find out that Fourth Master Ye and Second Master Bai had an affair?"
Such a thing as a brother-in-law having an affair with his sister-in-law is usually kept very secret for the sake of the family's reputation and the company's stock. I really don't know where Gu Anning got this information.
Gu Anning smiled mysteriously: "This is what you call a coincidence~ Xiu Luo recently opened a store in Shanghai. Miss Ye San came to apply for the job. My secretary personally went to Shanghai to handle the branch matters. This was something that Miss Ye San told my secretary herself. Her requirement was that her existence could not be exposed to the Ye family."
This gossip had been on her mind for days. Finally, when Yan Yan came to visit, she could let it out. Keeping it bottled up inside was suffocating her.
Ye San said that the Ye family should not know about this, but she told Yan Yan in private that it was fine, and Yan Yan would not inform the Ye family.
Fu Ziyan's eyes widened slightly as she exclaimed, "What a coincidence!"
Ningning has such a gossip-loving body! She can hear the latest gossip even while working at the company.
Fu Ziyan was marveling at Gu Anning's "melon-eating physique" at this moment, never expecting that she would soon be eating the other side of this melon herself, the source of which was little Fu Chengyi.
After finishing her evening get-together with Ningning, Fu Ziyan returned to Shek O and immediately met Fu Chengyi's bright, sparkling eyes as soon as she got out of the car.
"Sister, you're back~"
Fu Ziyan: “…”
Offering unsolicited favors is a recipe for disaster!
She looked up, fixing the obsequious Yi Yi in her tracks with her gaze, and slowly said, "Speak, what is it?"
Fu Chengyi met Yan Yan's ambiguous smile and coughed lightly, "I'm so wronged. I just haven't seen you in so long, that's why I came out to greet you."
"Oh~" Fu Ziyan drawled, a slight smile playing on her lips. "I see. It seems I misunderstood you. It's getting late. Since there's nothing else, you may leave now."
Fu Chengyi's darting eyes suddenly froze. He smiled obsequiously, took Fu Ziyan's hand, and quickly changed his tune: "No, sister, how could you be wrong? It's my fault. I'll confess and be lenient."
"Go ahead."
"Sister, could you help me plan a birthday surprise at Dreamland?"
Ok?
"Which girl do you want to confess to? Explain your plan clearly, and I'll help you." Fu Ziyan smiled, sizing up Fu Chengyi. So many years have passed; the little rascal has grown up! He even knows how to pursue girls now!
"No, it's not a confession. I just want to cheer Ye Zonglin up."
Fu Ziyan:!!!
Do you like boys?
Wow, my little cousin's views on love are a bit ahead of their time. I wonder if my second aunt can accept them.
Fu Chengyi froze, then frantically waved his hands to clarify, "No, no, how could I possibly like Ye Zonglin? Sis, don't make wild guesses, it's terrifying. Ye Zonglin is more like my mortal enemy!"
He clearly likes Fanfan!
“Ye Zonglin has recently had some family troubles, and I noticed he was in a bad mood, so I thought I'd take advantage of his birthday to cheer him up.”
Fu Ziyan responded with an "oh," her tone becoming indifferent: "Ye Zonglin is a child of the Ye family?"
Fu Chengyi sighed: "Yeah, his family has been having a really tough time lately. After his aunt ran away from home, his grandma and grandpa had a huge fight, and then his grandma moved out. After his dad died in a car accident, his mom remarried, and now even his grandma has moved out. I think he's unhappy every day."
"Didn't he move out with his grandmother's family?"
“His grandfather won’t allow it, and his grandmother doesn’t agree either.” Fu Chengyi’s expression was downcast. “Sister, do you think I can let him move in with me?”
"Aren't you and him rivals?"
"How can he be worthy of being my opponent in his current state?"
Fu Ziyan raised an eyebrow, the little brat was quite arrogant: "Okay, I understand, you can tell Mu Mu what you're thinking tomorrow."
Fu Chengyi's brows were still furrowed: "Thank you, sister."
Fu Ziyan raised her hand and pinched his little face. Yi Yi had grown up, and the baby fat on his face had disappeared. Now it felt like there was no texture to pinch.
"Sister~" Fu Chengyi was speechless, unable to get angry.
Aside from his sister, who dares to pinch Young Master Fu's face!
Fu Ziyan chuckled, a hint of gentleness in her voice: "At such a young age, if you keep frowning, you'll turn into a little old man!"
