Chapter 656 Fu Mingxiu Giving Roses

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

After chatting for a while, Xiao Yize and Gu Jin walked off alone together.

Seeing that they seemed to have something important to discuss, Gu Yang and the others tactfully refrained from following.

Feng Jue took another look at Xiao Yize, curious about his capabilities. Was this person from the Xiao family someone to watch?

Lin Ran, dressed in flashy pink, greeted Gu Yang and then put his arm around his good friend Lu Mao’s shoulders to chat.

As Feng Jue was contemplating how to get some alone time with Gu Yang, Fu Mingxiu, wearing a white suit, approached with a bouquet of beautiful roses in his hand.

He walked up to Gu Yang, his eyes filled with love. “Yangyang, happy 18th birthday.”

Fu Mingxiu had specially rushed back from the capital to celebrate Gu Yang’s birthday.

Feng Jue’s gaze on Fu Mingxiu was icy.

His sister had rejected Fu Mingxiu so many times, yet he still pestered her.

Giving her roses at a birthday party in front of so many people—was this a birthday celebration or a proposal?

As the birthday girl, Gu Yang’s every move was being closely watched.

Seeing Fu Mingxiu approach with roses, everyone in the industry who knew about his feelings for Gu Yang became excited.

“Young Master Fu has always liked Gu Yang. Could he be planning to propose?”

“Gu Yang is already 18. Many in the industry get engaged when they come of age. The Gu family is a rising star, and the Fu family is an established name in Jin City. They make a good match.”

Whispers and speculation spread through the crowd, with some people even moving closer to get a better look.

Tang Shiya and her friends, overhearing the discussions, didn’t look too pleased.

“Shiya, isn’t the Fu family planning to merge with yours? My mother mentioned Mrs. Fu took you to the Luo family in the capital as a guest.”

“What do you mean by compatible?! What’s the deal with Young Master Fu? He’s on the brink of getting engaged to you, yet he’s still entangled with Gu Yang!”

“And Gu Yang, acting all coy, keeps hovering around Young Master Fu. It’s really…” The speaker trailed off as she realized everyone was listening in.

Gu Yang occupied the toilet and didn’t leave. Wasn’t that akin to Fu Mingxiu being the toilet…

These were Tang Shiya’s closest friends, aware of her hopes to marry Young Master Fu.

Truth be told, they wouldn’t mind being in her shoes. After all, Fu Mingxiu was quite the catch.

In the world of wealthy families, familial ties often took a backseat to strategic alliances. While they enjoyed the privileges of their families, they sometimes had to sacrifice personal desires, like the freedom to love and marry as they wished.

Just like the Qi family’s restaurant that was on the brink of bankruptcy not long ago. In order to salvage the family business, Father Qi arranged for his daughter, Qi Yan, to be engaged to an older man.

Tang Shiya listened to her sisters’ conversations, her gaze shifting between Gu Yang and Fu Mingxiu. Her hand, shaking the champagne, stopped abruptly, and her gentle expression froze.

Though she studied in the capital and wouldn’t attend Gu Yang’s birthday banquet, she had returned to Jin City when Fu Mingxiu did. After all, he was her family’s chosen match, and their frequent interactions at Capital University had cultivated feelings between them.

Feeling a surge of anger, Tang Shiya struggled to maintain her composure. “Our families have expressed their intentions, but Brother Mingxiu and I aren’t officially engaged yet. Besides, today is Gu Yang’s birthday. Brother Mingxiu and her share a long history. He’s merely offering her a bouquet of flowers. It’s nothing more.”

“I heard Young Master Fu even gifted his favorite car to Gu Yang. Such an extravagant birthday present is unprecedented.”

“Shiya, you’re truly gracious. But that’s no ordinary rose. Everyone knows its significance, right?”

“Shiya is a proper lady, unlike that little minx Gu Yang. Look at her, pretending not to understand Fu Mingxiu’s intentions and gleefully accepting the roses.”
