Ms. Bigshot Is Pampered by All-Chapter 226 - 225: High-Profile Tends to Cause Problems

Chi Gui coldly refused, "I’m not going."

Fu Si, who had one hand resting on the car window, heard this and tapped his slender fingers on the glass before speaking again, "Fine, but grandfather has been talking about wanting you to come over for dinner. He’s been holding back from mentioning it because he was afraid of disturbing you..."

Chi Gui said, "Which day next week? I’ll make time."

Hearing her change of heart without any hesitance, Fu Si couldn’t help but press his tongue against his palate before chuckling, "Next Tuesday, I’ll contact you then, and I’ll come to pick you up."

Chi Gui replied, "Okay."

Watching Chi Gui’s slim figure disappear into the hotel, Fu Si couldn’t resist pulling out his phone and opening the front camera to look at himself from different angles.

Has his charm really plummeted that much recently?

Even his family’s seventy-year-old man can’t compete??

Fu Si took a selfie and posted it to his Moments.

Almost immediately, he received countless likes and a series of sycophantic comments:

[Mr. Fu, you’ve become even more handsome recently!]

[What are you talking about upstairs! Mr. Fu has always been super handsome, okay!]

[Exactly, exactly, the guy on the first floor should hurry to the doctor if he’s blind!]

Fu Si looked at these replies with satisfaction and then opened a WeChat group to send a message:

[Is there a quick way to improve a woman’s perception of beauty?]

Qin Cheng, who was on a mission, was just about to relax when he saw this post:...

He held back, but ultimately, he could not resist offering a piece of sincere advice: [Mr. Fu, have you considered that this might have nothing to do with looks and that she simply isn’t into you?]

The next second, Qin Cheng received a system message: [You have been removed from the group chat]

Qin Cheng: ...

He silently put away his phone.

Indeed, playing with a phone during work hours was a mistake.

Xia Jinjin came out of the competition venue and saw Fu Wen had changed to a particularly discreet and cheap car, one that didn’t even cost more than one hundred thousand yuan.

She paused.

Fu Wen wasn’t wearing sunglasses either, and he had made himself look all neat and proper. After getting out of the car, he first glanced behind Xia Jinjin to see that there were only ordinary students around before speaking to her, "Let’s go, I’ll treat you to a big feast tonight to celebrate."

Xia Jinjin hummed softly in response, got into the car, and couldn’t help frowning, puzzled, "Why did you switch to this kind of car?"

Without Fu Si’s permission, Fu Wen didn’t dare to speak carelessly outside and vaguely answered with a lingering fear, "It’s better to keep a low profile, being too flashy can cause problems."

Xia Jinjin thought back to the boyfriend rumors about Chi Gui before the competition and understood, so she didn’t ask any further.

Fu Wen’s entire family lived in the most luxurious mansion in Capital City, which was some distance away from the Fu Mansion.

Ever since Xia Jinjin had confirmed her relationship with Fu Wen, she had been living at his place.

Fu Chengzhou and Jinxiu had already prepared a sumptuous dinner, just waiting for the two to return.

During the meal, Jinxiu and Fu Chengzhou asked a few questions about the competition and then moved on to the main topic, "Jinjin, come back with us for lunch at the Fu Mansion next Tuesday."

Xia Jinjin’s hand holding the chopsticks paused.

Going back to the Fu Mansion for dinner meant that Fu Chengzhou was going to formally introduce her to Old Sir Fu.

Xia Jinjin was clearer than anyone about what this represented.

She tightened her grip on the chopsticks slightly and then calmly placed some food into her bowl and nodded ever so slightly, "Okay, uncle."

Fu Chengzhou and Jinxiu watched her casually collected demeanor, unperturbed by honor or disgrace, with growing satisfaction.

For years, they had wanted Fu Wen to get involved with the Fu Family’s core businesses, just like Fu Si.

But Old Sir Fu had always favored Fu Si, always leaving Fu Wen with the more marginal operations.

This time, with Xia Jinjin, known as "Professor Xiao Chi," going with them, they were sure to win Old Sir Fu’s favor.
