Chapter 303: He Got What He Deserved

Even if Fu Zhuo racked his brain, he wouldn't understand; everything he did was actually to make a wedding dress for Fu Sijue.

"Uncle Fu is so cool."

Xi Xi's eyes fluttered, looking at Fu Sijue with full envy.

The people in the conference room just now were so frightened they didn't dare utter a single word.

Fu Sijue gently rubbed Xi Xi's little head and said, "Xi Xi can do this from now on as well."

Lu Xiwán's gaze, complicated, swept between the two.

Even now she still lacks the courage to reveal Xi Xi's background.

Mainly because she's also afraid Yao Yao would feel uncomfortable.

"Let's go visit Madam Ji now; Yao Yao said I look a lot like her."

Regarding this woman who has always been rumored to resemble her, Lu Xiwán felt curious.

Fu Sijue lowered his eyes slightly and examined Lu Xiwán.

"There's a bit of it."

Perhaps because love makes the beloved look like Xishi, Fu Sijue finds Lu Xiwán the most unique in the world, no matter how he looks at her.

Aside from a slight resemblance in the eyebrows and eyes to Madam Ji, Fu Sijue doesn't think the two look alike at all.

The Ji Family is a prestigious clan in the Imperial Capital, with a huge residence in the Didu City Center, surrounded by mountains and water, offering pleasant scenery.

Everywhere exudes the Ji Family's depth.

It is not inferior to the Fu Family.

Fu Sijue, having been here before, smoothly led Lu Xiwán inside.

He had already arranged greetings with Madam Ji via text, so the Steward was waiting outside and ushered them straight in.

"The old gentleman and old lady are currently recuperating abroad; now only the miss remains at home. Please wait here for a while."

The Steward led them to the Living Room and then left.

Xi Xi was attracted by the scenery of the Ji Residence, her eyes flickering as she looked around.

"Brother Yao Yao, when we get home we should also install a swing in the courtyard..."

Without a word, Xi Xi grabbed Yao Yao and began daydreaming about the future.

Seeing this, Lu Xiwán let out a sudden chuckle.

"How did you meet Madam Ji?"

The Fu Family and the Ji Family—one in Haicheng, the other in the Imperial Capital—are both dominant prestigious houses, so Lu Xiwán is also curious how Fu Sijue became so familiar with Madam Ji.

Fu Sijue looked toward the courtyard and said, "Before my great-grandfather's generation, the Fu Family was also in the Imperial Capital. Later some events forced us to move to Haicheng, and we had already been on good terms with the Ji Family, so the two families never lost contact."

Calling it an old-world connection would not be an exaggeration.

"When I last saw you, I was a lone household; today you bring so many people to meet me."

Just as Fu Sijue finished speaking, Ji Suyun walked over from the front hall.

Even from a distance, Lu Xiwán already felt a sense of warmth.

According to what Fu Sijue said earlier, Ji Suyun is now in her fifties, but thanks to good upkeep she still looks like someone in her thirties.

When she saw Lu Xiwán, Ji Suyun was momentarily stunned, but quickly showed a friendly smile.

"I heard early on that you were coming to the Imperial Capital to see me; I deliberately cancelled all today's appointments, so why aren't you thanking me quickly?"

Ji Suyun has a cheerful disposition, and everything she says and does is unrestrained.

Lu Xiwán's tense nerves relaxed a little.

"Aunt!" Yao Yao, rarely excited, ran straight to Ji Suyun's side.

But Ji Suyun showed a look of unease.
