Chapter 239 We are destined to be husband and wife
Fu Chengli hugged Xiaoyunduo in a strange posture.
He didn't even know if he was holding the baby correctly.
Because he had never held a baby before, he always felt that he might accidentally drop her.
Yin Mei leaned against Fu Haidong's chest, and the two watched this scene with satisfaction.
"Haidong, when Chengli grows up and gets married, let's move abroad. I want our own little world. I recently saw a big oceanfront villa in Hollywood that I've got my eye on. I heard Fu Yixin bought one there too..."
Fu Haidong listened absentmindedly, his eyes wandering off into the distance.
He mumbled dismissively, "Buy it, buy it if you want."
Yin Mei smiled and kissed her husband on the cheek.
Little Cloud didn't stay in Fu Chengli's hands for long.
For some reason, the baby girl in my arms suddenly burst into tears.
Fu Chengli looked around, bewildered.
Suddenly, a pair of arms reached out.
Gu Qingwen was a few years older than Fu Chengli and was already in junior high school at the time.
He was wearing a suit, a bow tie, and slicked-back hair, looking like a little adult.
He glanced sideways at Fu Chengli, snatched the baby from his arms, and handed it to the nanny behind him.
Fu Chengli breathed a sigh of relief.
They've finally left.
Gu Qingwen turned her head and asked directly, "Will you treat my sister well?"
Fu Chengli: "........."
Gu Qingwen's tone was not friendly:
“Your Fu family members are all strange. You’d better be a devoted and good man, and not like your father.”
The words "Don't be like your dad" were spoken very softly.
However, Fu Chengli's keen hearing still caught it.
He frowned. What did the Fu family mean by acting strangely?
He thought the eldest son of the Gu family was the strange one; how could he speak so rudely to a stranger the moment he opened his mouth?
What does it mean to not be like my dad?
So you're implying my dad isn't faithful?
Fu Chengli snorted coldly, too lazy to pay any attention.
He simply picked up the game console and started playing games in silence.
Halfway through the game, he caught a glimpse of Fu Haidong and Yin Mei holding hands and exchanging pleasantries with the guests.
Such a loving couple, is Gu Qingwen blind to see it?
However, Fu Chengli was unaware of what had happened before the banquet.
Long before the banquet began, in a secluded lounge at the end of the club's corridor, Gu Qingwen accidentally stumbled upon Fu Haidong and Gao Lu mingling together.
The door creaked open.
In the dimly lit lounge, Fu Haidong shuddered in fright, staring nervously at the slightly ajar door.
He asked the woman beneath him in a deep voice, "You didn't lock the door when you came in?"
Gao Lu gasped for breath, "Maybe the wind blew it away, keep going, don't stop, Haidong, it feels so good, ah—ah—"
Gu Qingwen ran as fast as she could.
My heart was pounding.
He was out of breath from running.
He desperately wanted to run back to his parents and make them cancel the arranged marriage.
Who are these people in the Fu family?!
Disorganized conduct!
Filthy!
Gu Qingwen calmed down outside the club for a long time, and finally her breathing became steady.
Back at the venue, Gu Qingwen saw Fu Haidong again.
This time, he had a different woman in his arms.
I heard from people around me that this Ms. Yin is his wife.
Gu Qingwen looked at Fu Haidong with disdain.
This is the wife. And who was that sneaking around in the lounge earlier?
Moreover, it's obvious to anyone with eyes that Ms. Yin is more radiant, dignified, and beautiful.
Ha ha.
Why doesn't he cherish his beautiful wife at home and insist on licking dog shit outside?
Gu Qingwen tiptoed and whispered in her father's ear what she had just seen in the lounge.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Gu's expression changed drastically.
I wanted to back out, but it was too late.
The engagement process was completed long ago.
So many distinguished guests, all prominent and powerful figures, gathered at the scene, and all witnessed it firsthand.
Marriage is a serious matter; it should not be taken lightly.
They made a deal right away, but then changed their minds on the spot not long after?
Originally, this matter was facilitated by the Jiang and Du families in order to reconcile the Fu and Gu families.
If we back out now, we'll offend more than just the Fu family.
This will cause a crisis of credibility for the entire Gu family.
Father Gu restrained himself from losing his temper and said to his son in a low voice, "Let's settle this matter for now, and we'll find an excuse to break off the engagement later."
Gu Qingwen nodded.
Seeing that Fu Haidong's son was still holding his sister, he looked displeased.
What kind of good son can a father like that raise?
They're definitely all cut from the same cloth.
Gu Qingwen raised her head and walked up to Fu Chengli, snatching her crying sister from his arms.
Father is right. We can find another opportunity to break off the engagement later.
Is he, as the older brother, really going to gamble with his sister's lifelong happiness?
Fu Chengli is a potentially good person and will definitely not grow up to be a womanizer like his father.
One of the Gu family's family precepts is that gambling is strictly prohibited.
They don't gamble with their business.
We won't gamble with human nature.
Unfortunately, Gu Qingwen did not find that opportunity.
The banquet suddenly spiraled out of control halfway through.
Perhaps there was a power outage somewhere, and the banquet hall was plunged into darkness.
A loud explosion rang out.
People who were unaware of the truth scattered in all directions.
At that time, Fu Chengli wanted to avoid some peace and quiet, so he would take his game console to the garden outside the clubhouse and play games in silence.
The brightly lit venue was suddenly plunged into darkness.
The garden was plunged into darkness as well.
Fu Chengli was stunned.
I don't know what happened in the venue.
When the crystal chandelier in the center of the banquet hall lit up again, all that could be heard was the woman's tragic scream.
"Duoduo, Little Cloud is missing! Quick, find the child!"
The crowd was in complete chaos.
The sound of glass breaking, doors opening and closing, alarms going off...
It was a noisy mess.
............
Fu Chengli paused for a moment, then raised his hand to stub out the cigarette, snapping out of his reverie.
He pushed open the balcony door and returned to the warm bedroom.
He lifted the covers and got into bed, then hugged the little one who was curled up in a ball, sleeping peacefully.
He gently kissed her forehead.
I held you when you were just a baby.
After all these years of wandering, you still want to come back to my arms.
We were destined to be husband and wife.
You can't escape.
