Fu Wenxuan glanced at Fu Jing and quickly stepped forward, smiling, to tell his father the day's events.
When Fu Jing heard that the Chu family had agreed to Fu Wenxuan and Chu Yao being together, he smiled knowingly.
He stepped forward and put an arm around Chu's father's shoulders, understanding his wife's intentions and cooperating wholeheartedly.
To marry off the brat, no, to see the brat get married and start a family.
He gave his full approval.
With the two families' tacit understanding and cooperation, Fu Wenxuan and Chu Yao's engagement was officially set.
Neither family intended to make a grand affair; they just wanted to treat their acquaintances to a meal. After all, the Chu family wasn't a prominent clan.
It was only through Chu's father's hard work over the years that they had gained a slight footing in Jiangcheng, but in the eyes of other families, he was merely a minor official in the Industry and Commerce Bureau.
Fu's mother also didn't want a big wedding, as the Fu family didn't have many relatives. They decided to keep it simple and use the money saved for the wedding to help the young couple set up their dowry.
Hearing that all the Fu family's considerations were for Chu Yao and Fu Wenxuan, Chu's mother was deeply touched. Having such in-laws was a blessing for Yao Yao.
Furthermore, Fu's mother had also arranged that once the couple married, they wouldn't live with them but would move out. This would avoid conflicts and allow the young couple to live their own comfortable lives.
As the bride's family, they couldn't have asked for a better proposal from Fu's mother.
Especially Chu's mother, who had been abused by her mother-in-law for years, most feared that Chu Yao would suffer the same fate.
Now that Fu's mother had proactively suggested they live separately, what grounds did they have for any dissatisfaction? Not a shred.
Fu Wenwen and Lu Chengsen acted as mere spectators, watching the Fu and Chu families unite. Lu Chengsen held Fu Wenwen's hand, recalling how she had regretted her own marriage then.
Now, she had her wish, and lovers were finally together.
Chu Yao had never been so happy; her smile hadn't faded all day.
To confirm Chu Yao was truly well, Chu's parents specially took her to see a doctor. After the doctor confirmed that Chu Yao was fine and could speak normally again, the family wept with joy.
After leaving the Fu residence, Fu Wenwen and Lu Chengsen decided to pick up Lu Ze'an.
As they arrived at the entrance of the Agricultural University, Fu Wenwen saw a large crowd gathered. A young man was standing at the entrance holding a bouquet of flowers, which reminded Fu Wenwen of a confession scene.
It seemed like someone was about to confess.
Had relationships already formed within the first few days of school?
Just as Fu Wenwen was about to leave with Lu Chengsen, she saw the much-anticipated female protagonist arrive.
"Wu Lan!"
"I love you!"
Fu Wenwen stopped instantly.
Wu Lan?
Could it be the person from her memories?
Fu Wenwen and Lu Chengsen exchanged glances and then looked back to see Su Xiaoxiao accepting the admirer's flowers and gifts with a blushing shyness.
The surrounding students cheered excitedly. Fu Wenwen chuckled.
She wouldn't let Su Xiaoxiao have her way.
Fu Wenwen slowly walked towards the crowd, using her abilities to create a path for herself.
The onlookers felt a force push them aside. Just as they were about to curse, they saw Fu Wenwen's stunning face and immediately lost their temper, retreating to the side with red faces.
"Lovers finally unite, truly touching!" Fu Wenwen exclaimed loudly, clapping her hands.
The moment Su Xiaoxiao saw Fu Wenwen, her pupils contracted.
She instinctively took a step back, a hint of fear in her eyes.
She hid her body behind the man.
"What are you afraid of? Are you scared of me?" Fu Wenwen asked, looking at Su Xiaoxiao's reaction, as if she had bullied her.
"Comrade Fu Wenwen, I accidentally bumped into you last time, and you still refuse to let me go..." Su Xiaoxiao skillfully began to play the victim, making everyone believe that Fu Wenwen was deliberately causing trouble.
However, Fu Wenwen's beauty captivated most of the young men, and they weren't swayed by Su Xiaoxiao's words.
"She bullied you?" The man confessing, however, froze upon seeing Fu Wenwen.
He couldn't believe that such a beautiful young woman would bully his beloved.
"No, it's just that we had a little encounter, and Comrade Fu Wenwen... she doesn't seem to like me," Su Xiaoxiao said with a wronged expression.
The man, caught up in the moment, turned his gaze to Fu Wenwen.
"You are Comrade Fu Wenwen, right? Wu Lan has already apologized to you. I hope you can be magnanimous and stop bothering her, okay? I apologize to you on her behalf. If you want any compensation, just say the word, and I can satisfy you."
This domineering CEO-like tone delighted Fu Wenwen.
The exact same scene had played out countless times before. Each time, Su Xiaoxiao would use this tactic in public to make everyone believe that Fu Wenwen was aggressive and that it was all her fault.
It's just that in the past, the domineering CEO was Liu Zihua. Now, the domineering CEO was some clueless kid who had appeared out of nowhere.
He had a head but no brains.
"I want the stars in the sky. Go pick them!" Fu Wenwen said with amusement.
"You're deliberately looking for trouble. Comrade Fu Wenwen, I am sincerely apologizing to you. Why are you acting this way..." The man's expression changed slightly, feeling that Fu Wenwen was ungrateful.
"You said the words, and I simply stated what I wanted. If you can't do it, why blame me for my attitude? I find you quite hypocritical. If you can't do it, just say so directly." Fu Wenwen rolled her eyes at the man.
The man was momentarily speechless by Fu Wenwen's words, realizing that she was indeed right.
The onlookers couldn't help but chuckle.
"What the female comrade said is also correct!"
"You offered compensation, and she asked for the stars in the sky. If you can't get them, just say you can't, why say her attitude is bad? She wasn't loud at all the whole time!"
"But who can actually get the stars in the sky? Isn't she making things difficult for him?"
"Are you stupid? You should have just said you couldn't do it. She wasn't forcing him to do it..."
Some agreed, while others felt Fu Wenwen was stirring up trouble.
Su Xiaoxiao, however, felt that things weren't going as she had expected.
"Let's go... she doesn't like me, so I'll just avoid her." Su Xiaoxiao wanted to leave, but the man was unwilling.
"Why should we leave? Let's just clear things up. Comrade Fu Wenwen, why are you targeting Comrade Wu Lan?"
"Wu Lan... Comrade, why don't you tell me why I must target you?" Fu Wenwen looked at Su Xiaoxiao, whose eyes flickered, curious about what answer she would give.
"You... Comrade Fu Wenwen, I just... said it wasn't good for you to bring a male comrade into the dormitory on the first day of school... I was just stating the facts... why are you so angry..."
Su Xiaoxiao looked aggrieved.
