Chapter 96: Two Complicated Girlfriends

Chapter 96

In any case, adding a contact method wouldn't allow Ms. Bai Qianqian to spirit her away, no matter how capable she was.

Thinking this way, she felt she wasn't in such danger after all.

So she took out her phone and said with a smile, "Sure, but I'm a high school student. I have a lot of classes usually, and even after school, I have to do homework at home. I might not have free time to hang out or eat with you."

When Bai Qianqian heard that Shi Li was just a high school student, she was even more satisfied as she looked her over.

She scrutinized Shi Li up and down without showing any emotion. Bai Qianqian didn't even notice that her gaze was like someone selecting pork at a market, or even more like an ancient slave trader appraising potential slaves.

If Shi Li didn't know about Bai Qianqian's secret activities, she wouldn't have found anything wrong with her gaze.

Now, however, with her preconceptions, she felt Bai Qianqian's eyes were full of calculation.

Before Shi Li could scan Bai Qianqian's QR code, Fu Huixing stood up.

"Let me add you too."

However, since Fu Huixing was closer to the two of them, even though he took out his phone first, Bai Qianqian still added Shi Li's contact before his.

Ms. Bai Qianqian wouldn't refuse someone who actively offered themselves. Boys could be just as useful as girls.

Shi Li was shocked. She'd seen people volunteering for death, but never someone volunteering their kidneys: [Burma needs your kidneys]

Fu Huixing: ...What an ungrateful little brat

Although Shi Li left the Fu Family Villa with her parents, the lively atmosphere in the Fu household continued.

With no outsiders present, Madam Fu no longer wished to keep up her facade.

The moment Shi Li's family of three left the villa, Madam Fu's face fell.

"It's getting late now, and it's not easy for Zhanyang to go home. You should stay here tonight."

The Second Young Master Fu naively replied, "Alright, I'll ask the housekeeper to prepare a guest room for Qianqian."

Madam Fu didn't even spare a glance for this foolish son, "Miss Bai isn't part of our family after all. You're just boyfriend and girlfriend. It's not convenient for her to stay at our house, as it might cause gossip. You're a boy, so you don't need to worry about rumors. But Miss Bai is a girl, and it's different for her. You should know that rumors can kill. We'll trouble the driver to make an extra trip tonight to send Miss Bai home."

So the Second Young Master Fu didn't dare to eavesdrop.

It was the first time his nephew had approached him with important business, so Mr. Fu treated it with equal seriousness. He led Fu Huixing to the reception room usually reserved for important guests.

The two sat face to face, and he poured his nephew a glass of water. At his age, drinking tea late at night made it difficult to sleep, so even though they were sitting at the tea table, he only drank water.

Mr. Fu was not at all as stern as he had been with his second son. He asked kindly, "What did you want to talk to your uncle about?"

Fearing that Fu Huixing might have trouble starting, he probed further, "Are you having problems with your studies, or are you unhappy at your current school and want to transfer, or is someone bullying you outside of school?"

These were all the problems Mr. Fu could think of that a boy of Fu Huixing's age might encounter.

Fu Huixing's expression remained calm, "It's none of those. It's about the female classmate my second cousin brought home today."

"What's wrong? Do you think there's something off about her?"

Mr. Fu felt a warmth in his heart, not expecting that his seemingly aloof nephew, who always kept a distance from the family, would be willing to warn him about his foolish son's girlfriend being problematic.

He only thought that by "off," Fu Huixing meant that the girl was with Fu Zhanyang simply because their family was wealthy.

To be honest, in their social circle, such situations were all too common.

He could understand it to some extent. People always want something from each other in a relationship. You might be attracted to someone's youth and beauty, while they might be attracted to your wealth and naivety. It's all normal.

Of course, if this girl was just materialistic, as long as the family could maintain their wealth, she could still have a good life with his foolish son.

If the girl was even more unscrupulous, she might treat his son as a cash cow, aiming to get a substantial share of marital assets after a divorce. That possibility couldn't be ruled out either.

Passionate love before marriage could turn into the coldest indifference afterwards.

This was what Mr. Fu was thinking, so he assumed Fu Huixing wanted to warn him about this.

Touched that his nephew didn't consider himself an outsider, Mr. Fu thought that even if he already knew about this, he shouldn't discourage the boy's confidence. He decided he must act sufficiently surprised later.

Fu Huixing hadn't yet figured out how to tactfully tell his uncle about this matter, so he said, "Her relationship with my cousin might not be simply about money."

Mr. Fu thought: Ah, this isn't what I expected. If that girl isn't simply after money by getting close to my son, what else could it be? Could it be for love? Is this girl genuinely interested in my son as a person?
