Chapter 574 - Forcing Her to a Dead End, Everyone Won’t Have
Chapter 574 Forcing Her to a Dead End, Everyone Won’t Have It Good
After Fu Sinian and Yu Manxi’s wedding was put on the agenda, the news of the He family’s pregnancy broke out, instantly pushing Yu Manxi into the limelight again.
The entire wedding would be confidential. According to the security guards, not even a fly would be able to fly in. A media outlet had used drones to investigate the venue, but they were all shot down.
This made the outside world look forward to this wedding even more, and what everyone cared about most was whether the He family would attend the wedding banquet.
Even though Yu Manxi had severed ties in public, she couldn’t change their blood ties. Who knew if they would really attend?
Today, Song Fengwan was accompanying her to try on wedding dresses. She was going to be a bridesmaid, so she had also tried on a few matching gowns. In the end, she ordered a purple and pink one, while Yu Manxi kept changing wedding dresses.
She had already gone to a few bridal shops before, but she was not very satisfied.
The TV station usually had to record programs, so she was very busy. But she had even specially taken time out to try on wedding dresses today.
Big skirts, fishtail styles, playful styles… Yu Manxi had just tried five sets, and her back was already covered in a layer of hot sweat.
Song Fengwan kept holding her phone and taking many photos of her. Yu Manxi was bright, flamboyant, and naturally charming. She was wearing a white wedding dress, and the pure colors intertwined, making her very beautiful.
“Which one do you think looks better?” Trying on wedding dresses was really physical labor. There were plenty of waist-hugging gowns. Even though she had lost weight and worked out recently, she still felt suffocated.
“I like the second one. It’s the simplest and doesn’t have any redundant designs.”
Yu Manxi nodded. She made her choice, but she still wanted to go back and discuss it with Fu Sinian.
“I heard that Big Brother Fu is on a business trip?” Song Fengwan hadn’t publicly revealed her relationship with Fu Chen, so she always addressed Fu Sinian this way.
“Yes, there’s a computer competition overseas. He led a team out and will probably be back next week.” There was less than a month until the wedding. Everyone wanted to finish what they were doing and prepare for the wedding in peace.
“I was wondering why he didn’t accompany
you.”
“I still have to try on the Chinese wedding dresses later. You have to wait for me. Go to the old residence for dinner tonight. I’m cooking.”
Yu Manxi and Fu Sinian’s new house had already been renovated and was being ventilated. They would move in directly after marriage.
“Okay, try it first. I’ll go buy some food.” Unknowingly, more than half a day had passed. Song Fengwan was really bored sitting here.
***
She only went out for more than ten minutes. When she returned, she didn’t see Yu Manxi in the bridal shop.
“The one trying on the wedding dresses just now…”
“Miss Yu is at a cafe across the street. She said she’ll be back soon and asked you to wait a moment,” the store assistant said.
Song Fengwan turned to look at the cafe. Almost all the furnishings in the cafe were visible through the large floor-to-ceiling windows. Yu Manxi was sitting by the window, and the people opposite her were actually Zou Li and He Shiqing.
Her brows furrowed slightly. She found a seat with a wide view and sat down, quietly paying attention to the movements over there.
When the three of them entered the cafe, other than He Shiqing ordering a cup of coffee, Yu Manxi and Zou Li drank warm water.
“Manman, I heard that you’re getting married on the twentieth of next month. Congratulations…” Zou Li spoke to her with a gentle attitude, completely unlike her previous contemptuous and unreasonable self.
“Thank you.” Yu Manxi’s expression was indifferent. “I heard that you’re pregnant. Congratulations.”
The entire capital was discussing if the He family was going to have a male heir. Even when she went to and from work, reporters asked her what she thought.
Zou Li reached out to touch her slightly protruding stomach, and her eyes revealed a loving glint.
Her relationship with her husband was originally very tense. But now that she was pregnant, her status at home directly rose, and her relationship with him improved. Even Old Madam He personally cooked soup for her every day, let alone…
When she went out, there were always four bodyguards following behind her, for fear that something would happen to her.
“Manman, I…” Zou Li opened her mouth. Seeing her calm face, she felt uneasy.
“Mrs. He, if you have something to say, just say it. I still have plans later.” Yu Manxi looked at the bridal shop opposite and happened to see Song Fengwan drinking bubble tea and staring at her.
“This…” Zou Li took out a red velvet box from her bag.
“What do you mean by this?”
“Thank you for helping me during He Xi’s accident.” Ever since the He Xi incident, Zou Li had thought a lot. Coupled with the fact that she was pregnant now, she was even more sensitive and wanted to improve her relationship with Yu Manxi.
She didn’t dare to say it directly, so she could only start with what had happened before.
“Even if it wasn’t you, I would have still helped an ordinary person.” Yu Manxi didn’t even look at the gift.
“Manman…” Zou Li’s fingers twisted uneasily.
“Mrs. He, you can call me Miss Yu or Mrs. Fu.” Yu Manxi was living quite well now and didn’t want to have a relationship with the He family at all.
But her words were like needles stabbing into Zou Li’s heart, burning it.
What was the use? They were the ones who had abandoned Yu Manxi back then. It was normal for her not to forgive them. It was too late for regrets now. She deserved it.
“Big Sister, Mom is…” He Shiqing was about to say something when Yu Manxi glared at her.
Zou Li lowered her head. Perhaps because she was pregnant, it was easy for her to get emotional, and her eyes were red from her words.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll get going first.” Yu Manxi stood up.
“Manman!” Zou Li stood up. “Can… can I go to your wedding?”
“What did you say?” Yu Manxi looked as if she had heard a huge joke. “You want to attend my wedding?”
“It’s fine if I don’t do it as your mother. I just want to see you get married.” Zou Li was extremely regretful now, but it was easier said than done to repair her relationship with Yu Manxi.
Yu Manxi looked at her deeply and said firmly, “Sorry, no!”
With that, she left, leaving Zou Li with red eyes. She lowered her head and wiped her tears.
“Mom, Big Sister definitely won’t be able to accept it for a while. Let’s take it slow,” He Shiqing persuaded kindly, but she was actually so angry that her back was slightly stiff, and her nails were digging into her palms.
“I know.” Zou Li smiled bitterly. She didn’t expect to really be able to repair their relationship just by looking for her once.
He Shiqing knew better than anyone else that Zou Li might be overflowing with maternal love due to her pregnancy and wanted to repair her relationship with Yu Manxi. But the others in the He family didn’t think so…
They knew very well that she couldn’t suppress Yu Manxi. She was married to the eldest grandson of the Fu family, and he was one of the most distinguished people in the entire Beijing circle. Unless she could marry Fu Chen or Jing Hanchuan, she would never be able to surpass her in this lifetime…
But marrying Fu Chen or Jing Hanchuan was simply wishful thinking!
When He Maozhen and Old Madam He heard that Zou Li wanted to repair her relationship with Yu Manxi, they both agreed. At the time, they had fallen out with each other, but now, they still had the cheek to want to build a relationship with her. Their thoughts were very simple.
They hoped that Yu Manxi would become the backer of the unborn child and pave the way for him.
They were really putting in a lot of effort.
Now, she was the abandoned one. They were forcing her to her death.
He Shiqing’s gaze swept lightly across Zou Li’s stomach…
Since you’re forcing me, don’t blame me for being ruthless.
No one will have a good time!
***
When Yu Manxi saw the He family, even though she didn’t mind, she inevitably felt uncomfortable. She tried two sets of Chinese wedding dresses and left hurriedly with Song Fengwan.
Song Fengwan could roughly guess why the He family was looking for her, so she didn’t ask.
She only sent a message to Fu Sinian in private and asked him to call Yu Manxi or something. She wanted him to say something reassuring and not make her feel too uncomfortable.
Fu Sinian was transiting in M Nation and preparing to leave for another place. He had led a team of more than ten men out. When they went out together, they were very eye-catching. “Boss, we’re at the airport.” They had booked a bus, and the bus had just stopped.
Fu Sinian nodded and got out of the bus expressionlessly. “You guys go in first. I’ll make a call.” It was currently the peak hour, and the airport was chaotic.
“Then hurry up!”
Fu Sinian wasn’t in China at the moment, and the He family was very shameless. He was worried that something would happen to Yu Manxi. He originally wanted to call Fu Chen and ask him to help take care of her. But before he could call, he suddenly saw a familiar figure…
The man obviously saw him too, and the two approached each other.
Fu Sinian stretched out his hand. “Mr. Qiao, what a coincidence. Are you here on a trip in M Nation?”
He was looking at Qiao Xiyan. Although he was Song Fengwan’s cousin, his relationship with Fu Sinian was average, and they had only met a few times.
“Yes.” Qiao Xiyan didn’t expect to see someone familiar the moment he landed. “You are…”
“Work.”
“Okay, I won’t disturb you then,” Qiao Xiyan said as he got into a taxi and left. Fu Sinian subconsciously licked the inside of his cheek…
He traveled halfway around the world alone and only brought a small suitcase? How strange. But his thoughts were interrupted by Qiao Xiyan’s appearance. He had completely forgotten about calling Fu Chen, which led to a series of unexpected things happening later…
