Chapter 26: Birthday Banquet
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
He came to find trouble but was rebuked and couldnât flare up. Fu Sui was holding back a big breath in his heart.
He was not a fool. After the incident, he naturally knew that he had been led away in the conversation by Zhai Jing. He made a note of this Zhai Jing. âYou better not leave any evidence for me to catch. Otherwise, Iâll kill you.â
However, he did not expect that Zhai Jing
would be even more ruthless. He went to Le Wan and complained.
When she was packing up after her make-up lessons that night, he said in a flat tone, âBy the way, your fiancé came to stop me today. â
Le Wanâs hand that was packing up paused, she frowned and said, âDid he do something to you?â
Seeing that the first person she cared about was him and not Fu Sui, Zhai Jing couldnât help but smile. However, he immediately pulled himself back down and replied âHe said that I was specially recruited by the Principal and asked me to focus on my studies. And that I shouldnât do anything unnecessary with the female students in my class and affect my future.â Although Zhai Jing was complaining, he didnât add too much oil to the fire.
After he finished speaking, he stared to see Le Wanâs reaction. He did not expect that Le Wanâs attention was completely elsewhere. âSo, what unnecessary things did you do to the female students in your class before?â
Zhai Jing was at a loss for words. He thought for a while before saying,âReject them?â
Le Wan was stunned for a moment, then she clapped her hands and laughed. âVery good, keep it up.â
Zhai Jingâs eyebrows twitched but he did not say anything.
As for Fu Sui, Le Wanâs attitude was very obvious. âHe looks like an upright person, but heâs actually petty, so thereâs no need to offend him. If he says something, just ignore it.â
However, he seemed to have already offended him instead. Zhai Jing didnât say what he had said to Fu Sui. He said obediently, âI know.â
Although Le Wan had tried to avoid these trivial matters again and again, the powerful point about the plot was that it could always pull you back to the original track from time to time.
As it was not the right time to celebrate the birthday of the old man, there was no big celebration. They only held a small birthday party and invited close friends to gather.
As old master Leâs good friends, the entire Fu family was also invited on this day.
âBaby, why havenât I seen you come play with this Auntie recently?â As soon as Mrs. Fu saw Le Wan, she pulled her into her arms and asked about her well-being.
Le Wan froze unnaturally for a moment. The memories of Mrs. Fu came back to her, and she knew that she was a very kind and loving elder. Her initial rejection towards her was reduced a lot.
âIâm in my third year of high school, and the college entrance examination is coming up. Iâve been busy revising and didnât have time to go out.â âBut Auntie, donât just talk about me. I havenât seen you for a long time, but you look much better than before. Itâs obvious that you didnât miss me much.â Le Wan got out of her arms and held her arm, leading her into the house.
âOf course I miss you. Iâve just put on some weight. Youâre not the only one whoâs smart.â Mrs. Fu tapped her forehead. âIâve said Fu Sui several times to bring you over to play. Heâs the same as you, saying that heâs busy studying in his third year of high school and canât find time. When I heard that, I knew that you guys didnât want to play with an old woman like me and were just brushing me off.â
In the original book, Mrs. Fu was the only person in the Fu family who stood firmly by her side. Later, the original owner was killed by the Fu family. The reason why she had always been dissatisfied with the real daughter was that she preferred the original owner. In comparison, she felt that Le Yan was too scheming.
Although Mrs. Fu was a good person, but she had a son named Fu Sui. She kept trying to match Fu Sui with the original owner of the body, so now Le Wan could only let her down. So after she led her in, she used the excuse of having to greet the guests to get out.
The birthday party went very smoothly. Throughout the entire process, Le Wan followed behind Mama Le to greet the guests. His smile was so stiff that her face was almost frozen. Finally, she sent the guests away, leaving only the Fu family. Because Grandpa Fu was still talking to Grandpa Le.
Mrs. Fu nudged her son, who was bored to death. âIâve kept you so busy today that you two havenât even had a chance to talk.â
âMom, you donât have to.â
With Le Yan present, Fu Sui obviously didnât want to have an intimate interaction with Le Wan. Le Wan didnât want to play along with him either, so she rejected her directly. âAuntie, please spare me. Iâve been busy all day and havenât even had a sip of water. I was just thinking of sitting down and taking a rest.â
Hearing that, Mrs. Fu handed her a clean cup of tea. â Are you that tired?â
Le Wan nodded seriously. âItâs even more tiring than solving the test papers.â
