"But her family doesn't agree." Fu Wenxuan looked at Fu Wenwen.
"What are their conditions? You should at least ask!" Fu Wenwen shot Fu Wenxuan a look.
"It's normal for the woman's side to reject a son-in-law. If you are sincere, you should try a few more times." Fu Wenwen's words were also agreed upon by Old Master Lu.
"Wenxuan, if they look down on your family's circumstances, then work harder. The most important thing is that they see your sincerity first," Old Master Lu also said to Fu Wenxuan.
"Are you determined to marry her and no one else? Attitude determines everything, money is secondary."
"I understand." Fu Wenxuan nodded, his eyes regaining their sparkle.
Fu Wenwen smiled with satisfaction, seeing the light in Fu Wenxuan's eyes.
"At least you're a bit salvageable. If you still decide to give up, I'll introduce someone to your sister-in-law. I have several people waiting for me to introduce them!" Fu Wenwen glanced at Fu Wenxuan.
"You dare." Fu Wenxuan became anxious.
"Oh, you're in a hurry." Fu Wenwen teased with a smile.
"..." Fu Wenxuan glared at Fu Wenwen inwardly and ignored her.
A smile flashed in Old Master Lu's eyes. Seeing that the time was about right, he led Fu Wenwen and Fu Wenxuan towards the center of the banquet hall.
Lu Chengyu, Lu Jingyao, and Luo Siqi were already waiting there. Old Master Lu waved to Lu Chengsen, who was welcoming him.
Lu Chengsen walked up to Old Master Lu. Fu Wenxuan stopped and yielded his position to Lu Chengsen.
Lu Chengsen nodded at Fu Wenxuan and, along with Fu Wenwen, helped Old Master Lu to the front.
"Today, I thank everyone for gracing us with your presence..." Old Master Lu stepped forward and delivered a speech to the guests, welcoming them.
After expressing his thanks, it was time for the main event. Old Master Lu raised his hand, and Fu Wenwen and Lu Chengsen stepped forward.
"In three days, it will be the wedding of my grandson Lu Chengsen and my granddaughter-in-law Fu Wenwen. We sincerely invite everyone to attend..."
Seeing the beauty standing next to Lu Chengsen, the same one who had amazed them earlier, the hearts of many men present shattered instantly.
The granddaughter-in-law personally acknowledged by Old Master Lu carried considerable weight.
Everyone present was astute. Many cast their gazes towards Fu Wenxuan beside them, realizing that his connection to the Lu family implied his background was also not simple.
Fu Jing and Fu's mother were invited and stood among the crowd, watching Fu Wenwen and Lu Chengsen receive everyone's praise.
Everyone called the two a match made in heaven and wished them a hundred years of happiness.
Feeling as though their daughter was truly about to get married, both their eyes welled up.
They were just an ordinary family, and they had never imagined their daughter would marry into a prominent family like the Lu family.
Seeing the fawning of those around them towards the Lu family, Fu Jing and Fu's mother felt out of place. They didn't feel joy but rather worried about the pressure on their daughter.
Fu Wenxuan found his parents sitting at a table in a corner. Seeing Fu Wenxuan approach, his mother couldn't help but sigh.
"Wenxuan, doesn't this feel unreal?" Fu's mother looked at Fu Wenxuan and sighed.
"Mom, what's wrong? Is something bothering you?" Fu Wenxuan asked, seeing his mother's troubled expression.
"Do you think this is good? Our family is ordinary. Look at these people; we can't afford to offend any of them." Fu's mother looked at the richly dressed people around them, then at herself.
The clothes she was wearing were her best, which would have earned envy in their neighborhood compound.
But in front of these people, they were worthless.
Fu Jing glanced at Fu Wenxuan. "The girl you want to marry..."
"Yes, she's here too." Fu Wenxuan looked at Fu Jing and Fu's mother and said seriously.
"She said she doesn't want to give up on me, and I don't want to give up on her, Dad."
"Son, but our family can't provide the material conditions they have. Is it really going to work?" Fu's mother saw the seriousness in Fu Wenxuan's eyes.
She didn't want to discourage her son, but the reality might deliver a crushing blow.
"I want to try. If she's willing, then I'll do whatever it takes to marry her!" Fu Wenxuan said earnestly. "If she wants that kind of life, then I'll bless her."
"Alright, you are indeed my son, Fu Jing's son. Dad supports you." Seeing that Fu Wenxuan had made up his mind, Fu Jing stopped trying to dissuade him.
"Thank you, Dad." Fu Wenxuan's eyes lit up.
"Mom also doesn't want you to have regrets." Fu's mother looked at Fu Jing, then at Fu Wenxuan, and her heart also firmed up.
Their daughter had found her happiness, so there was no reason not to support their son!
With the support of his parents, Fu Wenxuan felt his mind clear up.
He would try one more time. If it didn't work out, at least he had fought for her.
Old Master Lu, accompanied by Fu Wenwen and Lu Chengsen, went to greet guests. The three major families of Jiangcheng had sent representatives. Upon seeing Old Master Lu approaching with his entourage, they all stood up to welcome him.
"Uncle Lu." The head of the Bai family said respectfully to Old Master Lu.
"Zhanpeng, how is your father?" Old Master Lu patted the head of the Bai family, treating him like a junior, and said with a smile.
"Thank you for your concern, Uncle Lu. My father is doing alright, but his old back injury has flared up again, so he couldn't come today. He said he will personally come to your place to drink wedding wine." Bai Zhanpeng replied with a smile.
"His back injury flared up again?" Old Master Lu knew how severe Old Master Bai's back injury was; there was still a bullet lodged in his back.
"Yes." Bai Zhanpeng nodded.
"Wenwen, are you free tomorrow?" Old Master Lu looked at Fu Wenwen beside him.
"Grandpa asked me, of course, I'm free." Fu Wenwen blinked and smiled.
"Haha, alright, we'll go see Old Bai tomorrow." Old Master Lu said happily.
"Old Bai fought alongside me in the past. His back injury was sustained while protecting me. A bullet is lodged in his back and still hasn't been removed," Old Master Lu sighed. Fu Wenwen was surprised. "It hasn't been removed after so many years?"
"It's lodged in the bone. No doctor dares to operate; if anything goes wrong, he'll be paralyzed." Old Master Lu had always paid attention and knew his condition.
"He's stubborn, preferring to suffer pain than to be paralyzed."
"Then we really must treat it properly." Fu Wenwen looked at Old Master Lu and smiled.
Old Master Lu's eyes lit up, knowing Fu Wenwen had agreed.
"Zhanpeng, tell that stubborn old man that I'll visit him tomorrow," Old Master Lu instructed Bai Zhanpeng.
"Yes." Bai Zhanpeng glanced at Fu Wenwen, not understanding why Old Master Lu was telling her before visiting his father.
In recent years, had it not been for the Lu family's protection, the Bai family would have been carved up after Old Master Bai's incapacitation.
When his father's back injury occurred and he fell, enemy families attacked, and the Bai family was nearly wiped out.
His father had no choice but to make a phone call to the Lu family, hoping Old Master Lu would help the Bai family on account of him having saved him in the past.
Unexpectedly, the Lu family sent people without hesitation to help stabilize the situation.
Therefore, Bai Zhanpeng was deeply grateful to Old Master Lu.
