The Outcast Heiress’s Secret Identities
Chapter 766: If you care about me, that’s enough.

Chapter 766: If you care about me, that’s enough.

Although she said she wasn’t worried, when night came, Su Ran sat up in bed, unable to fall asleep.

One of the top ten unsolvable problems of all time, the mother-in-law relationship!

If she couldn’t get along with her mother-in-law in the future, it would be extremely tough for Fu Qiyuan, caught in the middle.

Moreover, mothers-in-law from wealthy families like this love nothing more than giving their daughters-in-law a hard time.

Old Master Fu looked down on her, thinking that in every way she wouldn’t be a help to Fu Qiyuan but would instead hold him back.

This stubborn belief wasn’t targeted at her, Su Ran as a person, but at Su Ran from a less prestigious background.

In other words, the old man would have the same opinion about anyone from a background that wasn’t up to par.

But if Fu Qiyuan’s mother looked down on her, it would be trouble.

Suddenly, an image flashed through Su Ran’s mind.

In a high-end coffee shop, a beautiful woman with extraordinary poise sat across from her.

Without a word, she pulled out a check from her bag.

"Here’s five million, leave my son."

Su Ran sat at the head of the bed, biting her index finger, deeply pondering what she would do if such a thing really happened.

Should she take the check, take the check, or take the check?

What Fu Qiyuan saw when he returned from the study to the bedroom was exactly this scene.

The girl sat with her legs bent at the corner of the bed, her hands on her knees, gently biting her right index finger, her delicate and beautiful face marked by a rare tension and struggle.

Her usually bright and flamboyant eyebrows were now slightly furrowed, a look of great distress on her face.

Fu Qiyuan raised his eyebrows slightly; having known her for so long, whether facing company decisions or standing on the global stage,

He had never seen a trace of nervousness or fear on her face until now, this was the first time he encountered such an anxious appearance from her.

"What are you thinking about?"

His low voice slowly resonated, and without hesitation, she blurted out.

"Your mom."

"..."

"..."

The bedroom became somewhat quiet for a moment.

Realizing what she said, Su Ran: "..."

Uh...

Didn’t that comment sound a bit like she was cursing someone?

She looked up and noticed the man standing at the foot of the bed looking at her helplessly.

Su Ran scratched her head awkwardly and switched to a more normal-sounding explanation.

"Thinking about your mother... "

Seeing the usually confident girl become so nervous at the mention of meeting his mother, a soft, warm hue appeared on Fu Qiyuan’s face.

"What do you want with her?"

Hearing his words, Su Ran quickly scurried in front of him, resting her hands on the bed, looking up and asking with curiosity:

"What kind of girls does your mother like?"

"Is she easy to get along with? Or is she very strict?"

"Would she directly hand me a check and ask me to leave you?"

"If she did give a check, how much would it be?"

...

Fu Qiyuan: "..."

Is she really nervous?

He felt like, she was actually excited!

Seeing him not responding, Su Ran was somewhat anxious.

"Hey, answer me!"

Fu Qiyuan, feeling helpless, "Do you care about her that much?"

"She’s your mother, of course I care," she replied.

Fu Qiyuan smiled, "You don’t need to worry about her, just care about me and that will be enough."

Su Ran choked up slightly.

Wasn’t she trying to leave a good impression on the other person?

Seeing her looking all pitiful, Fu Qiyuan couldn’t help but chuckle and softly ruffled her hair.

"You don’t need to think so much, we haven’t even met the person yet. Overthinking will only make you anxious, just be yourself!"

Su Ran tugged at her lips, only able to nod helplessly.

Indeed, thinking too much now was of no use.

Fu Qiyuan flipped open one side of the blanket and lay down on the bed, holding the girl in his arms.

The bedroom was so quiet that they could hear each other’s breathing.

After a long while.

A fuzzy head peeked out from under the thin quilt, and a muffled voice filled the bedroom.

"Ah Yuan, do you think your mother will like me?"

Fu Qiyuan’s heart melted completely, and he touched her head and kissed her forehead.

"She will."

-

The next day.

Not having received the answer she wanted from Fu Qiyuan, Su Ran felt uneasy all day long.

Even when she tried to distract herself, it seemed beyond her strength.

She spent the day in a daze and, after work, was joined by an additional Fu Qixiu, as the three of them returned to the old Fu family mansion.

At the dining table, besides the three of them and Old Master Fu, there was Fu Yizhi present today.

As soon as Fu Yizhi saw Su Ran, she did not stop chattering.

"Sister Su, you are truly amazing, you have no idea how popular Queen is right now."

"Everyone around me loves the designs from Queen. Sadly, the haute couture is now impossible to buy. Fortunately, I had already taken advantage of our relationship and secured some; my friends all told me to thank you properly."

"Sister Su, when is Queen launching new products?"

Su Ran smiled, "Next month."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yizhi’s eyes suddenly lit up, "Really? Then I must make a reservation in advance, otherwise, I won’t be able to get it again."

Old Master Fu listened to the conversation between the two throughout, casting an approving glance toward Su Ran.

At the same time, he couldn’t help but feel somewhat emotional.

After all, Qianran International was now considered a partner of the Fu family, chosen by Fu Qiyuan after breaking off the partnership with the Chu family for this new brand.

As a business partner, he naturally did some research and investigation.

After his inquiries, he couldn’t help admiring her tactics and ability, especially with Queen’s launch, which had taken the entire internet by storm.

In the past few days, he had heard discussions about the brand everywhere he went, even the household servants were all talking about Queen.

According to recent sales statistics, Queen had set a new record in global fashion brand sales, overshadowing many international brands around the world.

Without a doubt, Global Mall had become the biggest winner.

He had thought she was recklessly exploiting her relationship with Qi Yuan, but now it appeared she was truly deserving of respect.

Except for her family background, which wasn’t particularly impressive, there seemed to be nothing else one could fault in this woman.

It’s just her status... What a pity!

Fu Yizhi was still babbling when Old Master Fu couldn’t help but cough lightly twice.

Instantly, all eyes at the table turned towards him.

He glanced at Su Ran and then said:

"Qi Yuan, your mother will be back the day after tomorrow, and then, it’s Madam Chu’s birthday..."

The old master paused for a moment before turning to the two brothers.

"Come to my study later."

Su Ran’s hand holding the chopsticks hesitated slightly.

The day after tomorrow... coming back?

Madam Chu’s... birthday?

Chu Xiyao’s mother?

Fu Qiyuan immediately noticed Su Ran’s change in demeanor and looked displeasedly at Old Master Fu.

At that moment, there was a "clatter" as the chopsticks fell from Fu Yizhi’s hand onto the table.

Su Ran looked up to see her awkwardly swallow, her pure and fair face twitching twice, turning somewhat pale.

"Great-aunt is coming back the day after tomorrow?"

Seeing this, Su Ran felt a chill in her heart.

What’s going on?

Why would Yizhi react like this to the mention of Qi Yuan’s mother?
