Looking at Ye Fanxing, Mrs.
Fu felt a little concerned, “Ms.
Ye isn’t very old, is she?”
She looked about the same age as Gu Yuzhe.
Ye Fanxing was still a student, with an air of youthful innocence about her.
Ye Fanxing replied, “I’ll be twenty in October.” She couldn’t really tell them that she was even younger.
Mrs.
Fu said: “That is a bit young.”
However, she glanced at Fu Jingyu, and it seemed like her son didn’t mind at all.
“Are you still in school?” Fu Linglong asked.
The whole family was curious about Ye Fanxing.
“I’m about to start university.”
“Which university have you been accepted into?”
“I’ve been accepted to Jiangzhou University.”
Even though Jiangzhou University was a local university, it was also a nationally renowned key university.
She had actually considered going to other cities, but at the time, she had promised Gu Yuzhe she would stay.
Now that she thought about it, it was rather amusing.
Upon hearing that she was going to Jiangzhou University, Fu Linglong’s eyes lit up.
“That’s great!
You must have excellent grades then!
Our baby also attends Jiangzhou University.
We weren’t comfortable letting him go too far away from home, so we kept him here.
Oh, Ms.
Ye, which high school did you attend?”
Ye Fanxing stiffened, “I attended High School No.1.”
This was something that could easily be found with a simple search, so she couldn’t lie about it.
“Wow!” Fu Linglong exclaimed in surprise: “You attended the same school as my son!
His name is Gu Yuzhe, do you know him?”
Not only did she know him, but they also used to be desk partners and had dated…
Thinking of this, Ye Fanxing felt her scalp tingling.
Given Fu Linglong’s reaction, if she were to tell the truth, she’d probably have to divulge that she’d dated Gu Yuzhe too.
Therefore, she decided to tell a small lie, “I didn’t pay much attention.”
“That’s true.
Fanxing seems like the type to focus on her studies, not like other girls at school…
You may not realize, but my son has many female admirers there!
Children nowadays are so precocious!
I even heard he had a girlfriend at school!”
“…” Ye Fanxing gave a stiff smile, unsure of how to respond.
If Fu Linglong knew that she was the girlfriend Gu Yuzhe had at school, it would be quite awkward.
Fu Jingyu was sitting quite close to Ye Fanxing and could sense her discomfort.
Could it be because of Gu Yuzhe’s previous reaction…
“When are we eating?” Fu Jingyu spoke up.
“Are you hungry, Jingyu?
It’ll be ready soon.
I’ll go check on my soup.” Mrs.
Fu went to the kitchen, no longer concerned with Ye Fanxing.
She had been so eager to meet her son and daughter-in-law that she had left the soup to be watched over by the maid and came straight away.
As soon as Fu Jingyu gave them a break, Fu Linglong stopped interrogating Ye Fanxing about her school.
Standing up, she said, “I’ll go get my baby to come down for dinner.”
This was Ye Fanxing’s first visit to the house, so Fu Jingyu’s parents had given her a large red envelope.
After returning to her room, Ye Fanxing took a sneak peek and discovered that there was quite a bit of money inside.
“Uncle, this is for you.” She handed the red envelope back to Fu Jingyu.
Fu Jingyu looked at it, but didn’t take it.
“Keep it.”
“How can I?” Ye Fanxing had only been brought over by Fu Jingyu to pretend to be a bride.
She wasn’t actually in love with or married to Fu Jingyu.
She felt it wasn’t appropriate for her to accept gifts from his family.
“Keep it if I say so.” Fu Jingyu was completely serious.
Ye Fanxing said: “Then I’ll keep it for now and give it back to you when you need it.”
Fu Jingyu looked up to see her earnest expression.
He could see that despite having got their marriage certificate, Ye Fanxing had not truly adapted to being his wife.
