Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Clip Its Wings

On Su Shiyue’s 20th birthday, she couldn’t feel happy no matter what. Although a group of people had come early in the morning to start decorating the backyard of the old house, she didn’t feel any joy.

Her phone was constantly flooded with congratulatory messages, but Su Shiyue was too lazy to look at them. Lying on the bed, she remembered the humiliation she had suffered the day before yesterday and still trembled with anger, even her dreams these past two days were about being bullied by that despicable Su Mu.

She couldn’t swallow this insult, and last night’s apology was not her true intention at all.

If Qin Nianwan hadn’t spent the last two days analyzing the pros and cons with her, if she hadn’t also realized that leaving the Fu family would only make Su Mu’s life easier, she would never have lowered herself to come back and admit her mistake.

She originally thought of making her lose face at today’s birthday party, but Fu Shinian didn’t agree to let her attend at all.

But that was just as well, as rushing to take revenge would only infuriate Fu Shinian and exacerbate their sibling relationship. She didn’t want to inadvertently benefit that despicable girl, so she would temporarily hold back her anger and remember the humiliation she had suffered.

In the not too distant future, she would definitely return it twofold!

The party started at 5 pm, and by the afternoon, quite a few people had begun to arrive. Su Mu hadn’t seen Shinian since she woke up in the morning, and didn’t know what he was busy with, but fortunately, Auntie Lin was with her, making everything much easier.

When the noise reached the second-floor bedroom, where the party had already started, Su Mu was reading a book. She paused for a few seconds at the sound, but it was Auntie Lin who spoke from the window:

"The old lady is speaking now."

Su Mu nodded and asked,

"Has Shinian come back yet?"

"Not yet, but the party has already started. He should be back soon."

Su Mu said no more and continued to read her book.

Compared to the tranquility of the second floor, the garden was very lively. Everyone was surrounding Su Shiyue, continually offering flattering comments:

"Yueyue, is that dress you’re wearing a custom piece from House C? I haven’t seen this style at the boutique."

Su Shiyue smiled slightly, "My brother brought it back for me yesterday and said it was for me to wear at today’s party."

"Your brother really dotes on you, not just gifting you a dress but also personally organizing this wonderful party, unlike my brother, who only knows how to indulge in pleasures without a second thought for his sister."

"Apart from the dress, I like Yueyue’s earrings even more. Those are sapphires, right? They make your skin look even fairer."

"And the bag looks like a custom piece from Balenciaga too."

...

All kinds of praises were incessant; Su Shiyue’s mood finally started to improve slightly. Who doesn’t like being the center of attention? Everyone has their vanity, and Su Shiyue, even as the Fu family’s young mistress, was no exception.

Su Shiyue listened indifferently to their envy, feeling that this was the life she wanted.

Qin Nianwan also came. Su Shiyue had invited her, and Shinian had also mentioned it, so she had no reason not to attend. But her appearance still surprised many, as today’s event was a private Fu family affair. Qin Nianwan’s invitation to Su Shiyue’s birthday was clearly already a sign of acceptance by the Fus.

Su Shiyue walked over to speak to Qin Nianwan:

"Sister Wan, I’m really happy you could come."

Qin Nianwan handed over her present, "I naturally had to come for your birthday. Happy Birthday."

Su Shiyue opened it and saw a limited edition Cartier bracelet, which she immediately put on: "Thank you, Sister Wan, I really like it."

Qin Nianwan looked around and didn’t see Shinian:

"Has Shinian not arrived yet?"

The smile on Su Shiyue’s face faded a bit, "Not yet, but he should be here soon. Shall I introduce you to my friends? If they know you and I are close friends, they will surely be envious of me."

Qin Nianwan didn’t refuse, and together with Su Shiyue, sure enough, Qin Nianwan received lots of compliments. Su Shiyue’s smile seemed even happier than if they had been for herself, but as the conversation continued, it inevitably came to Qin Nianwan and Shinian:

"Yueyue, the way you address your Sister Wan should be changing soon, right?"

"I’m waiting for the good news. But when it comes out, I don’t know how many women in Shen City will be heartbroken."

"But, it’s only Miss Qin who is suitable for the Fu family. No matter how jealous others are, it’s merely a waste of effort."

...

Fu Shinian’s secret marriage was not known to many, and given that he had always been free from scandals, suddenly appearing in headlines continuously with Qin Nianwan could naturally lead to such speculation. Qin Nianwan couldn’t respond and could only maintain a smile. Meanwhile, Su Shiyue dropped another bombshell:

"Naturally, you all must come to the wedding."

"Yueyue," Qin Nianwan was surprised, "You can’t just say that carelessly."

"How can it be careless? It’s only a matter of time."

Su Shiyue’s statement undoubtedly affirmed Qin Nianwan’s position as young lady of the Fu family, and for a while, the compliments toward her came in all forms. Qin Nianwan enjoyed the feeling of being pursued by everyone, and she understood even more profoundly what it meant to be the young lady of the Fu family.

Yet, she was still very uneasy as, after all, Fu Shinian had never spoken to her about starting over.

As the party moved into its latter half, Fu Shinian arrived fashionably late, followed by his personal assistant Song Yi, both dressed in black suits. His appearance instantly attracted everyone’s attention, especially Qin Nianwan’s. Since his arrival, she hadn’t taken her eyes off him.

Fu Shinian walked up to Su Shiyue and stood in front of her, "Are you satisfied with the party?"

"Satisfied, thank you for your thoughtful arrangement, brother. I really like it."

"I’m glad you’re having fun," he replied.

After speaking, Fu Shinian glanced at Qin Nianwan standing next to Su Shiyue and nodded at her as a greeting.

Not long after Fu Shinian’s arrival, it was time to cut the cake. Everyone gathered around as Fu Shinian stood by Su Shiyue’s side, listening to everyone sing ’Happy Birthday,’ watching her happily blow out the candles, and cut the cake.

This was her 20th birthday. Before the party started, she felt many things were unhappy and imperfect, but at this moment, being the center of attention, with both Fu Shinian and Qin Nianwan by her side, those troubles seemed insignificant.

Su Shiyue looked at Fu Shinian:

"Brother, thank you."

Fu Shinian smiled gently:

"Is that all it takes to satisfy you? I haven’t given you my birthday present yet."

Su Shiyue was a bit stunned, "My present?"

Fu Shinian reached out, and Song Yi handed him a document, which Fu Shinian glanced at before handing it over to Su Shiyue:

"This is the application for your school in England. After your birthday, you’ll go there to study. Unless it’s something important, there’s no need to come back."

Su Shiyue was stunned, and everyone gasped, while Qin Nianwan looked at Fu Shinian in astonishment.

"Brother..." Su Shiyue forced a smile, "Are you mistaken? I never thought about studying abroad, and I haven’t applied to any school. I’m quite happy here in Shen City, my family and friends are here, I don’t want to leave."

Fu Shinian, upon hearing this, did not say much. His gaze softly swept across everyone, and he let out a slight laugh:

"Friends? When you’re the young madam of the Fu family, these people might be your friends, but what if you lose that status?"

"Brother..."

Fu Shinian addressed the crowd:

"From now on, the Fu family will only be responsible for Su Shiyue’s tuition and normal expenses, and will not provide her any other conveniences. In recent years, I have been too busy with business, and have been too lenient in disciplining her, allowing her to associate with some morally questionable friends. When she has made mistakes, I did not correct her in time, moreover because she belonged to the Fu family, I even helped out a lot. Recently, since I’ve had more free time, I want to fully fulfill my duties as a brother."

"From now on, if anyone gives Su Shiyue any assistance, don’t blame the Fu family for being unsympathetic." After saying this calmly, Fu Shinian, ignoring everyone’s reactions, turned to Su Shiyue, who was now in tears:

"You can choose to forget what I said today, but from now on, if you cause any troubles, you will have to bear the consequences yourself. You must learn that the world doesn’t work the way you want it to. Just because you’re my sister, Fu Shinian, doesn’t mean I can ignore right from wrong, good from evil. If you can’t turn back from the wrong paths you’ve taken by yourself, then I will step in."

"Today is your 20th birthday, if you can understand my words, then my present will not be in vain."

With that, Fu Shinian politely nodded to everyone, "Please continue, I must excuse myself."

His brief appearance ended quickly as he left without caring about the impact his words had on those present. Everyone began to feel uneasy, especially those who were close to Su Shiyue, they were even more nervous. Others might not understand but they knew well what they had done for Su Shiyue over the years.

They had thought that serving the young madam of the Fu family could potentially bring some benefits to their own businesses through good words put in to Fu Shinian. Yet, before reaping any benefits, they could now possibly face a devastating disaster.

After exchanging looks, they put down their champagne glasses, approached Su Shiyue, and began to make their excuses:

"Yueyue, my mom called. There’s an emergency at home and I need to leave first. Happy birthday."

"I need to leave too. The old man has been very strict lately."

"I’ll go with them, I don’t have a car."

The emotions Su Shiyue had been suppressing finally erupted at this moment. She flipped the table with the cake on it and coldly watched everyone:

"Get out! I never want to see your hypocritical faces again, just get out!"

As people left, Su Shiyue looked at the mess in front of her, then suddenly raised her head to see the woman standing at the second-floor window. She looked calm, watching everything as if savoring the depth of the drama. Unbeknownst to her, this poise, in Su Shiyue’s eyes, was an undisguised mockery!
