Chapter 198 Den of wolves

The birthday party would start at exactly six in the evening.

Because of this, Jiang Yue and Fu Jin started preparing early that afternoon as it was not only a birthday party, but also their engagement announcement that day.

They had to arrive at Fu Mansion beforehand to meet with Old Man Fu.

Not only Jiang Yue and Wang Minghua were invited to the birthday party, but also Old Man Wang and Wang Huo would attend it.

"What do you think?" Jiang Yue asked Fu Jin before turning around in front of him. She was already in her red dress and she couldn't help but appreciate her own look today.

"Perfect." Fu Jin smiled at her.

"You always say it's perfect. You say 'perfect' even when I am naked," she pouted.

"I would prefer the naked version, but this look will also do," he said before hugging her from behind. "No matter what you wear, you will always be perfect for me."

"Sweet talker. I think you can sweet talk me into just about anything." she giggled. "Now, let go of me before you decide to ruin my dress."

Fu Jin just chuckled before letting her go to do her makeup. "I'll wait for you downstairs." He said before turning his back on her. Fu Jin does not want to stay with Jiang Yue for too long. He does not want to end up late to his own grandfathers birthday.

After a couple of minutes, Jiang Yue finally emerged from her room. She decided not to wear thick makeup for tonight.

She carefully walked down the stairs with her five inch high heeled shoes and smiled at Fu Jin and Wang Minghua who was staring at her.

"Ready?" she asked. "Where are grandfather and uncle?"

"They will come in a little later with me." Wang Minghua answered.

"Hmmm... Okay," Jiang Yue nodded. Her grandfather and uncle were currently not in the estate. That was the reason why she was not able to tell them the news of her marriage.

"Let's go?" Fu Jin asked while giving her his hand.

In response, Jiang Yue put her hand on his and grinned. Her husband is really good looking right now. He was wearing an all-black dinner suit that made him look sexy and mysterious at the same time.

"Did I tell you that you are so good looking I sometimes drool while looking at you?" she mischievously asked.

"This is the eleventh time that you told me that." Fu Jin answered.

"Well... I wanted to remind you. I don't want you to forget." Jiang Yue said.

"Ehem... did you two forget that I'm still here?" Wang Minghua interrupted. This couple had been giving him dog food since they told him they were already married. "You better go now or else you will be late."

Wang Minghua's words instantly made Jiang Yue stifle a laugh. She actually forgot that he is still next to them. She should blame this to Fu Jin's good looks.

"Hmmm..." Fu Jin only nodded at Wang Minghua before dragging his woman away.

...

"So Fu Honglie and Fu Shuo are siblings?"

"Hmmm." Fu Jin nodded.

"And she will attend this gathering after years of not showing herself to everyone?" Jiang Yue asked again.

"Yes, my father just called me a while ago."

"And you did not find that suspicious?"

"I did. That's why I already asked Bei Ye to take a look at it." Fu Jin said.

"Tell me about her personality." Jiang Yue said.

"I only met her twice so I'm not entirely sure. But she married someone that her father does not approve that's why she had to give up all of her inheritance from her father." Fu Jin explained.

"That is kinda harsh."

"I know... some of the Fu Family's relative had a strict policy against people with lower status than us. They would not want their children to marry one. That's why they usually arranged marriages to everyone."

"How about you? Did someone tried to arrange for your marriage as well?" she asked.

"No. My grandfather is not like that. He is the only one in the family who is against arranged marriage."

Jiang Yue did not respond to Fu Jin's words. The Fu Family is a little more complicated than she expected.

A family full of people who looks down on people based on their status? Jiang Yue wondered what else will the Fu Family offer her.

"Are you nervous?" Fu Jin asked when he sensed Jiang Yue's discomfort.

"Of course not." She is not nervous or anxious. In fact, she is quite excited to meet everyone. After all, one can never choose who their family is.

Now that she is already married to Fu Jin she should be prepared with different types of vicious people.

Moreover, Jiang Yue understands that the Fu Family is akin to a den of wolves. If you will act weak in front of them, they will surely devour you.
