Chapter 723: 0713 It’s only a matter of willingness!

"Aren’t you going to introduce Miss Su to the others?"

Fu Qiyuan glanced at her indifferently, "She doesn’t need to deal with those people!"

At his words, Chu Xiyao felt a surge of joy.

She knew it, Qi Yuan never intended to introduce that woman to the others!

But still, she kept her composure and couldn’t help but sigh,

"Time flies so fast, I never thought that when we’d meet again, such an unexpected event would have occurred."

"An unexpected event?"

Chu Xiyao took a deep breath and said helplessly,

"You couldn’t possibly be unaware of Grandpa Fu’s wishes for our families to be united in marriage. We are compatible in family background and share the same interests. In everyone’s eyes, it was meant to be, but who could have expected..."

She hadn’t been gone long, yet the certainties had somehow become uncertainties.

Not only did everyone think they should be together, but she believed it too.

She had followed in his footsteps since childhood, studying things she didn’t like and even excelling at them, all for their seemingly preordained compatibility.

In the end, she indeed became the woman who stood closest to him, appearing so in sync and perfectly matched.

She was certain she would marry him, that’s what she believed, and she thought he believed the same. That’s why for all these years, she was in no hurry.

But unexpectedly, just as she returned to the country, she found what was hers to be taken away!

But no matter, she would set everything back on track!

"There is no such thing as fate in this world," a cold voice came from beside her, shattering Chu Xiyao’s illusions.

She lifted her head to look at the man and heard him add,

"It’s all about willingness or unwillingness!"

Having said that, Fu Qiyuan left with an air of detachment!

Behind him, Chu Xiyao’s face turned slightly pale, and she bit her lip fiercely.

She watched as Fu Qiyuan’s retreating figure slowly disappeared, and after a long time—

It didn’t matter!

One day, she would let him know who truly deserved to stand by his side!

Elsewhere, Fu Yizhi was excitedly introducing her friends to Su Ran.

Those who became friends with Yizhi had temperaments quite similar to hers.

Su Ran was always patient with young girls, so she didn’t mind their enthusiasm in the slightest.

"Sister Su, I really, really like you and your designs. When will Queen become available? We can’t wait any longer!"

"Yes, exactly! I’ve already reserved it online, and I’ll buy it the moment it’s on sale!"

"But I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get it, since the reservations have already surpassed fifty million!"

"Sister Su, can you give us a backdoor deal?"

The young girls blinked their sparkling eyes expectantly at Su Ran.

Su Ran hadn’t spoken yet when Fu Yizhi spoke up again,

"Of course, Sister Su is going to be my future sister-in-law. We’re all friends now, so she’ll definitely agree."

Afterwards, she looked at Su Ran with hopeful eyes.

Su Ran, feeling somewhat helpless, reached out and pinched Fu Yizhi’s adorable little face.

"Yes, for Yizhi’s sake, I must provide this backdoor!"

"Ahh! Sister Su, you’re the best!"

"Thank you, Sister Su!"

"I can’t believe R herself agreed to give us a special deal, I must boast about this to my friends!!"

Warmth and harmony surrounded Su Ran’s group!

In another dark room on the second floor, a slim man with a somber face sat in a wheelchair.

He watched Su Ran downstairs with his brows dipped in a shade of murderous intent and darkness.

"Haven’t you obtained the item yet?"

The person behind immediately lowered their head: "...no."

The man slightly narrowed his eyes, his aura somewhat dangerous.

"Hmm?"

The person behind shuddered, respectfully saying:

"There is someone protecting her, we can’t get close."

The man pondered for a moment, then scoffed, looking at the people downstairs.

"It must be the handiwork of my dear elder brother!"

The man’s tone was frosty, laden with boundless hatred and anger.

"Fourth Master, what do we do now..."

The man slightly furrowed his brows, his gaze fixed on Su Ran.

After a long while, he revealed a trace of an evil smile.

"No rush, the person has been delivered right under my nose, there will be plenty of opportunities later!"

"...Yes."

Fiancée, huh?

He also wanted to see, upon losing the most important thing, what kind of expression his dear elder brother would have?

He had to give it a try!!

Feeling a gaze upon her, Su Ran’s eyes flickered. She sipped her champagne lightly and appeared to casually look up, her gaze landing on the source of that stare.

In one of the rooms on the second floor, it was dim, and although Su Ran couldn’t see the person inside, she knew someone was watching her.

It seems the Fu family was more restless than she had imagined!

She curved her lips upward, withdrawing her gaze.

Although the man’s face was expressionless, his heart was startled!

What a sharp woman!

But that made things even more interesting!

The party ended with three people satisfied— namely Fu Qiyuan, Su Ran, and Fu Yizhi— while the rest were not.

Holding Su Ran close, Fu Qiyuan asked, "Shall we go back?"

Su Ran looked up at him, "Do you have anything else to do?"

Fu Qiyuan: "No."

Su Ran nodded, saying: "Then let’s go back!"

"Okay!"

Fu Qixiu followed close behind the two. Just as they were preparing to leave, the personal housekeeper of the old master hurried over.

"Eldest Young Master, it’s not good, Grandpa Fu has fainted!"

Upon hearing this, before Fu Qiyuan could speak, Fu Qixiu immediately jumped out from the side.

"What? Fainted again?!"

That ’again’ made Housekeeper Cao’s facial expression stiffen, the rest of his words getting stuck in his throat.

Su Ran, seeing this, couldn’t help but feel a bit amused internally, yet her face remained impassive before she looked at Fu Qiyuan worriedly.

"Ah Yuan, how can Grandpa Fu’s health be so frail, fainting time and again? Could it be that the family doctors are not up to par? If it really is the case, then we should replace them. Or better yet, take Grandpa Fu to the hospital to have a thorough check-up as soon as possible; continuing like this is no solution, especially given Grandpa Fu’s advanced age!"

Fu Qixiu nodded in agreement, "Sister-in-law makes sense!"

Seeing Fu Qixiu agree with Su Ran’s words, Chu Xiyao’s expression darkened slightly, and she couldn’t help but speak up:

"Miss Su, you might not be aware of the Fu family’s situation since it’s your first visit. These doctors have been with the Fu family for decades, caring for Grandpa’s health—no one knows his condition better than they do.

As you said, Grandpa is indeed old and can’t withstand such turmoil anymore. I know you mean well, but it’s better not to speak carelessly without knowing the full situation. After all, the doctors of the Fu family cannot be dismissed just because you say so!"

"The words of the Eldest Young Madam of the Fu Family are not for you to comment on!"

Fu Qiyuan’s deep voice slowly rose, neither heavy nor light, but it landed heavily on Chu Xiyao’s heart.

She suddenly bit her lip, her complexion stiff, "Qi Yuan, I didn’t mean any harm, it’s just..."

Su Ran tugged at Fu Qiyuan’s hand, looking at Chu Xiyao with an innocent face:
