"Yi'er went out. He's not here right now." Ruan Qingdie arranged her cape with her hands. Although she was no longer young, she had been well-maintained and looked very beautiful. She said very straightforwardly, "Let's talk."

Chu Mengyao's heart immediately leaped into her throat, "Aunt?"

"Are you pregnant?" Ruan Qingdie said without any expression.

Chu Mengyao felt very awkward. She didn't know how to reply to Ruan Qingdie's direct question. After a moment of silence, she nodded.

This seemed to be within Ruan Qingdie's expectations. She only nodded and said very indifferently, "No wonder Fu Yi is so anxious to get married." Then, she continued, "I won't hide this from you either, I used to think that Alice was more suited to be my daughter-in-law. Regarding the matter of marriage, I will fully respect Yi'er's opinion. He wants to marry you as her wife. In principle, I have no objections. "

Hearing Ruan Qingdie's words, Chu Mengyao heaved a sigh of relief.

"But Yi'er's grandfather was very opposed to you two being together, let alone getting married. And Yi'er even offended the Zhou Family for your sake, "Ruan Qingdie said in a very objective manner," Because of all these, his grandfather beat him up using his walking stick. Thinking about Elder Ruan's vicious crutches, Ruan Qingdie still felt a lot of pity for her son.

Chu Mengyao frowned, she thought about the bruises on Fu Yi's body that she saw. Elder Ruan's crutch was thick and heavy, she had seen it before, if it hit her, it would definitely hurt like hell.

"I told you all this for no other reason. I only said that if Yi'er's grandfather doesn't treat you well in the future, you have to be more patient and not have any conflicts with his grandfather. Otherwise, the one stuck in the middle is Yi'er. " She added nonchalantly, "But I don't think this will happen often. We should only be able to see each other once every year for the Chinese New Year."

"Yes, Auntie." Chu Mengyao lowered her eyes. She had never thought that Fu Yi would be willing to do so many things for her. She secretly decided that even if her grandfather was making things difficult for her, she wouldn't lose her temper and make it difficult for Fu Yi.

Ruan Qingdie sighed and stood up from the sofa, "Take care of your health, after you've decided on the wedding, ask Yi'er to inform me."

Then, she left.

Not long after Ruan Qingdie left, Fu Yi walked in with a large box.

Thinking about how Ruan Qingdie said that she was beaten up by the Elder Ruan using her walking stick, her heart ached, and she immediately went to hug him.

"You going to throw yourself into my arms?" Fu Yi thought that she was acting coquettishly towards him and patted her shoulder.

"I just wanted to hug you." She did not say it out loud, not wanting Fu Yi to feel awkward, "I love you."

Hearing Chu Mengyao's confession, he was very excited in her heart, but he did not admit it.

She was showing her true feelings, but he was making fun of himself. This made Chu Mengyao a little embarrassed.

"Mom left?" Fu Yi asked.

"She left. She just asked me if I was pregnant. I told her." Chu Mengyao's face was slightly red.

Seeing her embarrassed look, Fu Yi smiled, and passed the box to her, "This box was given to you by mother." When Ruan Qingdie came earlier, she had already asked him, and he admitted it straightforwardly. So she gave him an address and told him to pick it up.

"What is this?" Chu Mengyao was a little curious.

"Open it and take a look." Fu Yi said.

Inside the box were all kinds of health care products used by pregnant women, and they were very rich.

Thinking about Ruan Qingdie's attitude just now, and seeing the things in the box, Chu Mengyao was a little unable to understand what she meant. However, she was certain that Ruan Qingdie had agreed to the marriage between the two of them.

"My mom is a business type of woman. She has a strong personality and she speaks very straightforwardly. She doesn't say anything tactful. But don't feel pressured, she's a very reasonable old lady! " Fu Yi comforted her.

What he said was right, Ruan Qingdie was indeed a person who spoke straightforwardly, but her attitude was still within her scope of acceptance. "Fu Yi, can you talk about your father with me?" Suddenly, Chu Mengyao asked, "I have never heard you mention your father before."

"My dad is no longer here."

"I'm sorry." Chu Mengyao felt that she had been too abrupt, and brought up this topic.

"It's okay, little fool." Fu Yi tapped her nose, smiled, and said self-deprecatingly, "He has already been dead for twenty years, so we have only lived for a short amount of time. I can't even remember his face anymore."

His father had already passed away when he was very young, and the Fu Family had no trace of his father's existence. Not even a single photo had been passed down. Ruan Qingdie would never mention his father in front of him, but even though Elder Ruan would mention him, it was with hatred.

Since he said that, Chu Mengyao nodded in agreement, "When my parents died, I was too young to remember what happened back then. My impression of them, too, is in the photos. " She didn't feel sad when she mentioned her parents.

"Mengyao, we will be family from now on, and we will never be apart. We can grow up together with our children." Fu Yi hugged her tightly and made a promise. He wanted to give this child a complete family, and use that to make up for the fatherly love that neither of them had.

Accompanying the child as she grew up, not being separated, these words were spoken with sincerity and full of feelings. Chu Mengyao also made a very firm promise, "We will never separate."

There weren't many shareholders in the Hundred Great Group, only six. One of their rules was to hold a small shareholder meeting every year in the lunar calendar. The gathering was very private, so he could only bring his family members. He didn't need to wear formal attire, as long as they were present.

The location was usually in the home of a shareholder. This year, it was coincidentally held at Xiaoyiran's home.

Xiaoyiran's home was in the capital's North Third Ring Villa. By the time Fu Yi and Chu Mengyao arrived, the others were already there.

Aside from Xiaoyiran and Gao Junheng, who had already known about this a long time ago, everyone else had expressions of shock on their faces.

Someone even teased him, "I used to secretly guess that you were a crook …"

There was even someone who made fun of him, "No wonder Fu Yi had strived so hard to make the Hundred Great Meeting and the Chu's cooperation project, he had actually been planning this a long time ago! Xiaoyiran, I think you don't need to worry about the cooperation between the company and Chu's. In any case, the two of them have already closed the door. You can talk however you want, and you don't need to travel back and forth between the capital and City H. You can spend more time with Yin Qian. "

Xiaoyiran raised her red wine cup and said with a slight smile, "You actually let Fu Yi go and negotiate? Are you not afraid that he will directly send out the Hundred Great Guilds?"

"Do I look so unprincipled?" Fu Yi asked with raised eyebrows, his tone filled with curiosity.

"Of course it wasn't before, but it's hard to say in the future." Xiaoyiran answered with a deep meaning.

Everyone laughed.

As they laughed, Chu Mengyao's nervous mood relaxed.

She had seen these shareholders at the last signing party. However, last time she represented the Chu's, and now she appeared here as Fu Yi's girlfriend.

Although the other people were surprised that Chu Mengyao had appeared here, they were straightforward people. They did not say anything, only teased him a little, and then pulled Fu Yi to the lawn to play football.

Xiaoyiran's lover, Yin Qian, was the host of this banquet, so it was natural for her to receive Chu Mengyao.

She and Chu Mengyao walked towards the corner of the sofa, where the female members of the other shareholders were already sitting and chatting. Yin Qian was just about to introduce Chu Mengyao to her, when she heard Zhang Xin Rui call out to him cordially: "Mengyao, sit here."

"Senior Sister, you're here as well?" Surprisingly, Chu Mengyao saw a familiar person, and was in a good mood.

The other women looked at the two in surprise. "You two actually know each other?"

"She's my junior sister. She's Professor Xu's student just like me!" Zhang Xin Rui looked at Chu Mengyao with warm eyes.

"You also learned drawing?" Yin Qian opened her mouth and asked with great interest.

"I've only learned it for a few years." Chu Mengyao replied in a very low-key manner.

"Not only is she good at painting, she also plays the cello very well. She even gave a concert once!" Zhang Xingrui said with a smile.

"Was there a concert?" A woman said in surprise, "Our girl has been studying cello lately. Mengyao, help her give guidance when you have time. "

Just by saying a few words, Zhang Xingrui was able to pull the relationship between Chu Mengyao and the female servants closer. That kind of strange and distant feeling immediately disappeared. Everyone had a good time together.

Zhang Xin Rui got up and went to the balcony to answer a call. When she turned around and returned, she saw Chu Mengyao walking over, "Senior Sister, thank you so much for what you did just now."

Zhang Xingrui looked at the ladies seated on the sofa and tidied up her clothes. "In the past, I did not like to participate in these gatherings or anything like that. However, they were very easy to get along with." She was about to say something else when her cell phone rang. "Sorry, it's my daughter's number."

"Momo, rest early, Daddy and I will be home soon."

The phone call ended very quickly. However, Zhang Xingrui had a very bright smile on her face. "This is from our eldest daughter. She just happened to not be home this time." After saying so, she put her hand next to her ear and whispered, "She's already so tall!" Then, she opened the photo album on her phone and showed Momo's picture to Chu Mengyao.

Chu Mengyao was very surprised, "Senior Sister, they look similar to you." In the past when she was studying painting, she had heard from her senior sister that Gao Junheng and his ex-wife had a daughter.

Zhang Xingrui was no different from the rest of her mother. She said proudly, "She and Duo Duo are my treasures. They look exactly the same as I did when I was young."
