She Came From Hell (GL) - Chapter 70
Fu Yinxuan was driving and talking at the same time, “You’re still not dead out there? It’s been two years, and you didn’t even bother to call and check in, let us know you’re okay. We would’ve thought you were dead out there.”
Fu Yilan was playing a game on her phone and replied, “I’m eighteen this year, you’re twenty-eight. If you’re dead, I’d still be fine.”
Fu Yinxuan rolled his eyes. Was she just relying on her youth? Everyone goes through a youthful phase.
His gaze accidentally landed on Fu Yilan’s hand, and he asked, “That black string on your wrist… you’ve been wearing it since two years ago. You’re still wearing it now? When did you get so sentimental? You’re usually the kind of person who won’t use something for more than a month.”
Fu Yilan paused and looked at the black string on her left wrist.
“Did you buy a house by the sea? Why are you so concerned?” Fu Yilan replied indifferently.
Fu Yinxuan: Can’t we just have a normal conversation? Why make everything difficult?
After returning to the Fu family’s house and putting away their luggage, Fu Yinxuan drove Fu Yilan to the old Fu family home, where everyone was gathered.
“Xiao Lan, come here, let your grandparents see you. You’ve lost so much weight! I told you not to go abroad, but you wouldn’t listen. Now look, your grandma’s heart aches for you,” said Old Madam Fu, pulling Fu Yilan close and examining her. She looked deeply concerned.
“Grandma, I’m not that thin, I’m fine!” Fu Yilan replied helplessly.
“Nonsense! You’ve definitely lost weight. You were so fair and plump when you were little, so cute! Two years ago, you still had a bit of roundness on your face. Look at you now, you’ve become a skeleton!” Old Madam Fu insisted that her granddaughter was too thin.
Fu Yinxuan glanced at Fu Yilan. Thin? She looked perfectly normal to him—just the right proportions. Looks like grandma’s eyes aren’t as sharp as they used to be.
“See, Xiao Lan has grown into a great beauty, better than all those big stars,” Second Aunt Xue Ciyan said with a smile.
Fu Yinxuan clicked his tongue. Even Second Aunt’s eyes weren’t working properly.
Fu Yilan shot Fu Yinxuan a cold glance. He quickly looked away and pretended to be interested in something else.
“Alright, enough about Xiao Lan. Yinxuan, take Xiao Lan to pick out a dress and then head to the banquet hall on the sixteenth floor of the Imperial Palace Restaurant,” said Fu Jingsheng.
“Why is it always me?” Fu Yinxuan grumbled.
Fu Jingsheng gave him a sharp look, and Fu Yinxuan finally gave in.
At the Imperial Palace Restaurant, sixteenth floor.
The Fu family had invited many relatives, friends, and business partners to the banquet.
At the event, some were chatting casually, others were discussing business partnerships, and some were engaging in tense, competitive conversations.
Qi Xiyao entered, holding Zhou Yahuan’s arm. She looked around but didn’t spot the person she had been longing for, which left her feeling a little disappointed.
Zhou Yahuan led Qi Xiyao to his parents to greet them.
A short while later, Fu Yilan entered, wearing a red off-the-shoulder fitted dress that ended just above her knees, paired with high heels. Her hair was styled in large waves, and she wore light makeup with bright, eye-catching lipstick. She walked in side by side with Fu Yinxuan, who was wearing a dark gray suit.
Their entrance immediately attracted a lot of attention, including Qi Xiyao, who had been watching the door. She froze, staring at Fu Yilan. Ah Lan still looked as radiant as ever, even more beautiful and charming than two years ago.
Qi Xiyao’s gaze fell on Fu Yilan’s left wrist, and a surge of emotions welled up inside her. She’s still wearing it!
Does this mean that Ah Lan has always kept her in her heart, but just hasn’t admitted it? Right? It must be, right?
