C9 Humiliate Him in front of Everyone!
Even though she was prepared for it, hearing it directly from Old Master Fu still surprised Wen Chichi.
Seeing the shock on Wen Chichi's beautiful face, Fu Yuxi found it amusing. It seemed this woman wasn't as intimidating as he had imagined.
Fu Yuxi walked over to an empty seat and sat down, glancing casually at the slightly dazed Wen Chichi. "Miss Wen, aren't you going to sit down?"
Wen Chichi snapped back to reality. Although she found it odd, she didn't dare show any unusual emotions. Pretending to be unaware, she sat down next to him with Wen Zhouzhou, as it was the only seat left.
The others were astonished to see the usually cold and ruthless Fu Yuxi being so gentle with Wen Chichi. However, Fu Yandong was still annoyed by Fu Yuxi's smug expression.
Hmph, does he think he can do whatever he wants just because he has the old man's support? He's just a sickly guy.
With the arrival of these two, the mocking voices in the room gradually faded. But Fu Yandong wasn't about to miss the chance to embarrass Fu Yuxi.
Sitting obediently next to Wen Chichi, Wen Zhouzhou noticed the varied expressions around them, and a thought seemed to darken his eyes.
Old Master Fu turned his gaze to Wen Chichi. Although he had his reservations about her, it was Fu Yuxi who had agreed to the marriage. As her future father-in-law, he felt obliged to exchange a few pleasantries.
"Chichi, once you're part of the Fu family, you'll need to take good care of Yuxi."
Wen Chichi couldn't help but smile to herself. In these big families, even advice sounded like an order. If it weren't for her mother's inheritance, she wouldn't marry even for a billion dollars.
She quickly composed herself, putting on a sweet and obedient facade, nodding in agreement. This made Fu Yandong and Fu Yanbei momentarily reconsider the rumors about her being less than reputable.
However, when Fu Yandong glanced at Wen Zhouzhou beside her, he couldn't suppress a chuckle. He picked up two glasses, filled them with wine, and handed one to Wen Chichi. His face wore a warm, harmless smile, but his tone was dripping with sarcasm.
"Chichi, isn't it? You've had a tough time raising this child on your own all these years. Our Yuxi isn't in the best of health, and as his brothers, we were worried he might not have any heirs. Now that you're here, we can finally rest easy."
The words were laced with biting irony. Wen Chichi was well aware of the scheming that went on in wealthy families, but this was her first encounter with such blatant mockery.
Looking at the glass of wine in front of her, Wen Chichi couldn't help but curl her lips into a slight smile. It was truly a cup of poison.
She glanced sideways at Fu Yuxi, noticing that he seemed indifferent, his lips maintaining a subtle curve that made it impossible to read his emotions. Maybe it was because he was unwell and not favored by his family.
Old Master Fu's face was stern as he quietly admonished Fu Yandong, "Mind your manners in front of the younger generation."
Fu Yanbei, however, seemed unfazed, his eyes roving over Wen Chichi as he let out a mocking chuckle. "Our sister-in-law truly has a captivating beauty. No wonder Yuxi is eager to bring you home."
"Thank you for the compliment," Wen Chichi replied naturally, not caring about his intentions.
When it came to family disputes, Old Master Fu usually turned a blind eye. His gaze swept across the table and landed on Wen Zhouzhou, who was obediently staying by Wen Chichi's side.
The resemblance was uncanny! Wen Zhouzhou's fox-like eyes were almost identical to Fu Yuxi's, and his face bore a striking similarity to how Fu Yuxi looked as a child.
People said Wen Chichi was a woman of questionable character, and the child's father was supposedly worse than a beggar. But upon closer thought, Old Master Fu sensed something was amiss, though he chose not to inquire further.
Seeing that Old Master Fu didn't reprimand Wen Chichi, Fu Yandong and Fu Yanbei felt uneasy. After exchanging glances, they decided to embarrass Wen Chichi at the banquet.
Fu Yandong sighed casually, "Chichi, do you think your father would be upset seeing you marry into our family with a child in tow?"
Fu Yanbei chuckled, "Come on, maybe Chichi doesn't even know who the father is. You wouldn't invite some lowlife to the wedding to give his blessings, would you?"
As if it was the funniest thing, the people around burst into laughter, casting malicious glances at Wen Chichi and Fu Yuxi. They thought they could humiliate her with this, but did they really think she wouldn't fight back?
