CHAPTER 368: CHAPTER 368

Jiang Weiwei has heard that Fu Youhan’s foster daughter, who is also his childhood betrothed, Fu Wangning, is also attending tonight’s banquet.

Fu Wangning has been very outstanding since a young age; it is said that she reached level ten in piano at the age of ten and was invited by many well-known musicians to participate in concert performances.

Aside from that, Fu Wangning’s academic performance is also top-notch.

Thus far, Fu Wangning, at her young age, has already obtained dual degrees and has done significant research in Traditional Chinese Medicine, even being appointed as the dean of a renowned research institute abroad.

Nevertheless, despite her exceptional achievements overseas, Fu Wangning still resolutely returned to her home country.

In her last interview with the domestic official media, Fu Wangning admitted that she gave up a high salary abroad not only to serve the people in her homeland but also confessed it was for a specific person.

Over the years, Fu Wangning has been focusing on studying acupuncture in Traditional Chinese Medicine, particularly aiming to help paralyzed patients walk again, evidently targeting Fu Youhan.

The reason Jiang Weiwei knows so much is that she had always regarded Fu Wangning as her idol and goal to strive for; thus, she read every news about Fu Wangning without missing a word.

Therefore, Jiang Weiwei is certain that Fu Wangning’s purpose in returning was specifically to heal Fu Youhan.

Look now, hasn’t Fu Youhan stood up?

After Fu Wangning has given so much for Fu Youhan, how could he possibly give up on her and continue to be entangled with Jiang Moxi, his casual fling?

Yes, the bouquet in Fu Youhan’s hands must be for Fu Wangning; how could it be for Jiang Moxi?

In the end, Jiang Weiwei can accept losing to her idol, Fu Wangning, but not to Jiang Moxi.

On the other hand, just as Jiang Weiwei knew, tonight Fu Wangning is also representing the Fu Family, just arrived at the Ling Family’s annual anniversary banquet.

Of course, before heading to the banquet, Fu Wangning had invited Fu Youhan to be her escort, but he had declined her.

Fu Wangning didn’t think much of it then, because the Ling Family’s annual celebration, despite its connection with Ling Ye, Ling Hua, and the Fu Family, indeed did not reach a level that would necessitate Fu Youhan’s attendance.

But what Fu Wangning didn’t expect was to see, upon entering the banquet scene, the man who had refused to accompany her earlier!

More crucially, this man was standing, vibrant, just like before the car accident, the most breathtakingly splendid version of him!

While overwhelmed with excitement, Fu Wangning noticed Fu Youhan carrying a bouquet, walking around.

Fu Wangning couldn’t help but think that the fresh flowers he held must be for her.

After all, ever since she was brought back to the Fu Family, her existence has been tied to being with Fu Youhan.

Moreover, Fu Youhan treated her differently than others.

When she first joined the Fu Family, shy and timid about everything, barely daring to eat much but starving at night and unable to sleep,

Fu Youhan would give her his desserts, and occasionally, he’d specifically instruct the kitchen to prepare midnight snacks, even though he never ate at midnight himself.

Moreover, whenever she was overwhelmed by academic pressure, unable to sleep all night, Fu Youhan would comfort her, saying learning shouldn’t be overemphasized.

Until now, when Old Master Fu forced her, Fu Wangning, to go on blind dates, Fu Youhan would also promptly assist her in escaping.

Aside from Old Madam Fu, Fu Youhan rarely shows such a level of care to anyone else, so his feelings for her must be of love.

Even if he was momentarily infatuated with Jiang Moxi,

In the end, Fu Youhan would definitely return firmly to her side.

Look now, isn’t Fu Youhan holding a bouquet of flowers, coming to find her?

However, Fu Youhan probably didn’t expect that she had just arrived, so he is holding flowers, searching through the crowd.

Watching Fu Youhan walking towards a certain corner, Fu Wangning finally spoke up, "Brother Han, I’m here!"

As soon as Fu Wangning spoke, many people around unconsciously turned their eyes towards her.

"Looks like, Third Master Fu is finally going to end up with Miss Wangning."

"Only Miss Wangning’s talent and beauty match the unparalleled Third Master Fu."

Some even said, "If it weren’t for the car accident that happened to Third Master a few år ago, he and Miss Wangning’s children would be running around already."

Amidst the crowd’s discussions, the Jiang Family members also involuntarily focus their attention on Fu Wangning.

Yes, they too think what these people are saying makes sense.

Fu Wangning has been by Fu Youhan’s side for so many years; even after Fu Youhan’s car accident and being wheelchair-bound, she went abroad to study Traditional Chinese Medicine.

How could Fu Youhan possibly abandon Fu Wangning, his true love through hardship, for a mere girl like Jiang Moxi?

Yes, every member of the Jiang Family was more eager than anyone else present, hoping that Fu Youhan would give flowers to Fu Wangning and that the lovers would end up together.

Because they all felt that Jiang Moxi harbored resentment towards them.

If Third Master Fu really ended up with Jiang Moxi, and publicly acknowledged her identity, it would be almost akin to a catastrophe for the entire Jiang Family.

Therefore, they would rather Fu Youhan heartlessly break up with Jiang Moxi than see the lovers end up together.

Even Yu Man and Jiang Guosheng, who were Jiang Moxi’s so-called biological parents, hoped for the same thing.

Not to mention Jiang Tairan and Jiang Weiwei.

However, despite everyone’s expectations, Fu Wangning’s passionate call did not capture Fu Youhan’s attention.

Oddly enough, the volume of Fu Wangning’s call was not low, and Third Master Fu must have heard it.

So why wouldn’t he even turn around to look at Fu Wangning?

Or is it possible that the person he was looking for wasn’t Fu Wangning at all?

At this moment, not only the spectators were surprised, but even Fu Wangning, who assumed she would be the focus of this confession, was stunned.

Until she saw that in the direction where Fu Youhan headed, Jiang Moxi was quietly standing there...

At that moment, Fu Wangning was completely panicked.

No!

It was Fu Youhan’s first public appearance with working legs, holding flowers, almost like making a romantic declaration, all for Jiang Moxi?

What about her, Fu Wangning?

What did her years of waiting amount to?

Fu Wangning wanted to scream, wanted to prevent Fu Youhan from getting close to Jiang Moxi, and publicly declare his love for Jiang Moxi.

But right now, the sympathetic looks from the people around her, feeling like they were pouring lead on her, made her completely unable to move.

She could only watch helplessly as Fu Youhan walked step by step towards Jiang Moxi...

"My God, what is going on here?"

"The person Third Master Fu is giving flowers to, isn’t Miss Wangning."

As Fu Youhan approached Jiang Moxi, the people around were still in shock and discussing.

Ling Yinan, Ling Hua, and Ling Ye were also shocked.

Because in recent years, Fu Youhan had always been seen in a wheelchair.

When he suddenly stood up at the Ling Family’s banquet, they were dumbfounded.

"Young uncle, when did your legs get better?" Ling Yinan’s gaze was still fixed on Fu Youhan’s legs.

Ling Ye said, "As soon as young uncle stood up, it felt like his presence was the same as before, at two meters tall."

Ling Hua could only exclaim in astonishment, "Oh my dear heavens!"

But Fu Youhan only told them, "I will explain to you later, but right now I have something to say to Xixi!"

After affectionately addressing her, Fu Youhan then directed his intense gaze exclusively onto Jiang Moxi.

From this situation, anyone could tell that the relationship between the two was not ordinary.

At that moment, Ling Ye was somewhat dumbfounded.

"No way, did Moxi really win my young uncle over? Someone hit me, wake me up from this dream."

Ling Hua was also a bit confused, but thinking back to the interactions she had accidentally caught between her young uncle and Sister Moxi, this all seemed to make sense.

Ling Yinan was surprised too since she remembered Third Master Fu from the Fu Family as being cold by nature.

She had even once thought that such a man would never fall in love in his lifetime.

But right now, the burning intensity in Fu Youhan’s eyes shook her belief.

The only thing Ling Yinan could do was grab her chatty son and daughter, pull in her best friend and Cang Ming, and move a little away from Fu Youhan and Jiang Moxi, giving the two some space to talk.

But no one expected that just a few steps after they moved away, Fu Youhan knelt on one knee in front of Jiang Moxi...
