Chapter 376: Chapter 376: Fiancée

"Uncle, you’re being too serious, it was just a sudden visit. I hope you’re not angry," Fu Shiyan’s expression was cold and indifferent.

Fu Yi wiped a drop of cold sweat from his forehead, but he was used to Fu Shiyan’s attitude and chuckled, "Shiyan, you’ve just come back from abroad. By all rights, I should be the one hosting a welcoming party for you. But the company has been so busy lately that I haven’t had the chance. Now that you’re here, it’s perfect. I couldn’t be more delighted—why would I be angry? Come on, let’s go inside and talk more."

Fu Shiyan nodded slightly and was about to step forward when he paused, "Is Yuxing at home?"

Fu Yi stopped in his tracks, not sure why Fu Shiyan would suddenly ask, but still answered, "Yes, he is. That brat is actually at home today."

With that, he waved to a young man in the crowd, "Yuxing, your cousin is calling for you, hurry up and come say hello."

As the words fell, a young man stepped out of the crowd.

He was dressed to the nines.

In a crisp suit, he didn’t look like the typical spoiled rich kid, but more like an accomplished young man.

His appearance was also quite decent; at first glance, he had the makings of a distinguished gentleman.

It was just a pity that his eyes were murky. As his eyeballs moved, they were laden with Evil Qi, and his schemes were numerous. Not to mention his cunning mind, he probably carried more than one life on his shoulders.

Jiangli noted these details with a silent sneer.

Indeed, all that glitters is not gold.

"It’s rare for big cousin to come back; I should have been the one to greet you," Fu Yuxing approached with a smile. From his words, it was clear he was a seasoned socializer, "This time you’re back, you probably won’t be going abroad again, right? That’s perfect since your little brother has much to learn in business. I can ask for your guidance in the future. I hope big cousin won’t mind."

Fu Shiyan glanced at him and, avoiding the hand that Fu Yuxing extended, said coolly, "You’re too polite."

Fu Yuxing, who had wanted to shake hands, had a hard time saving face.

"Alright, alright, no need for such formality amongst family, let’s go inside," said a middle-aged woman stepping forward to mediate.

She was well-maintained, with taut skin, and dressed in a beautiful dress, wearing plenty of jewelry. She was a vision of bling, shining so brightly under the lights as if she wanted to blind everyone around her.

Jiangli glanced at her features and paused.

This person...

Looked a lot like Fu Yuxing.

They must be mother and son.

Not only were their faces similar, but the Evil Qi between their brows and the heavy karma they carried were identical.

How interesting.

"I don’t know if Shiyan still remembers..." As the woman approached, Fu Yi said to Fu Shiyan, "This is your aunt. You’ve been abroad for many years, so you probably don’t remember, do you?"

Most people, upon hearing this, would respond with polite acknowledgment.

However...

Fu Shiyan said directly, "Hmm, I indeed don’t remember."

The woman, who had been all smiles, stiffened her face.

Fu Yi also felt a bit awkward. He was just trying to be polite, but who knew that Fu Shiyan would take it so literally?

He coughed and said, "Let’s go inside and talk. Once we sit down, we can have a good family chat."

Fu Shiyan nodded slightly, and the group finally entered Fu Yi’s house.

But before they even got through the door, Fu Shiyan had already infuriated Fu Yuxing and his mother Wan Qing to no end.

After entering, Fu Yi finally noticed Jiangli by Fu Shiyan’s side and asked, "Oh, Shiyan, who is this young lady? Why haven’t you introduced her?"

Before Jiangli could speak,

Fu Shiyan said, "My fiancée."

Jiangli: "???"

Xia Xin: "!!!"

Fu Yi’s jaw nearly dropped, "Fiancée?" He exclaimed in astonishment, "When did this happen? How come I’ve never heard about it?"
