    Chapter 20: Is This Really Her Father?

    The wonderful nightlife had arrived, and Fu Yining's buddies started to urge her one by one to log in.

    #WeAreReallyAmazing(4)

    ——AAA Salted Fish Wholesale: [@AAA Bubble Tea Wholesale, log in!]

    ——AAA Bubble Tea Wholesale: [You guys go ahead, I need a bit more time.]

    ——AAA Eye Roll Wholesale: [Is your family still forcing you to drink weird soup?]

    ——AAA Bubble Tea Wholesale: [Uh, yes, indeed.]

    Fu Yining's new buddies had changed their nicknames after seeing hers, saying that it was more fun to game with such names.

    Fu Yining later discovered that whenever she got into an argument with someone, these buddies would always step in to help her.

    It was definitely a good thing.

    Exiting the chat interface, Fu Yining looked up and saw that Hu Ma had not yet appeared.

    The beauty-enhancing soup, delivered punctually every night, tasted quite good. Fu Yining actually had the choice to drink it or not, but she didn’t want to defy the concept of “beauty.”

    Hearing footsteps outside, Fu Yining put down her phone and sat up properly.

    Then, she heard Hu Ma's voice: “After you, Sir!”

    Sir?

    Fu Yining smiled faintly and remained seated calmly.

    She was already inside; he wouldn't come in, right?

    The next second, the door was pushed open, and a tall figure appeared, making Fu Yining's smile disappear.

    Why did he actually come in?

    Hu Ma emerged from behind Yu Zhili, carrying a tray, and placed a bowl of soup and a cup of tea on the table in front of Fu Yining.

    “Sir, Madam, take your time, I'll be off.”

    Fu Yining was greatly shocked: No, please don’t go!

    Hu Ma completely missed Fu Yining’s inner cry for help, and she very thoughtfully closed the door behind her.

    “Butler Wang?” Hu Ma was startled when Wang Yue suddenly appeared.

    Wang Yue, smiling, asked in a low voice, “Is Sir inside as well?”

    “Yes.”

    When Mr. Yu came in and said he needed to talk to Madam, Hu Ma prepared tea for both of them.

    Wang Yue nodded and let Hu Ma go about her business.

    “What about Butler Wang?”

    “I'll wait here for him.”

    "Oh, okay, I'll go first?"

    "Go ahead."

    Seeing the time on the wall clock, Wang Yue silently moved to the side of the wall to wait.

    In the waiting room on the other side of the wall, Fu Yining felt a bit nervous and moved the soup Hu Ma had brought over to the side.

    "Um, may I ask what's the matter?" she asked the man sitting opposite her.

    If Yu Zhili hadn’t mentioned wanting to discuss something with her, Fu Yining would have already picked up the soup and made a run for it.

    Honestly, she wasn’t quite used to being alone in a room with a man.

    It was a bit unsettling.

    The bowl of soup in front of Fu Yining was still steaming. Yu Zhili gestured, "Go ahead and drink it first; I'm not in a hurry."

    Fu Yining forced a smile: He wasn’t in a hurry, but she was. She was eager to get back to her room and play games with her friends!

    Though that’s what she thought, she certainly wouldn’t say it out loud.

    "No, let’s talk about the matter first."

    "Alright."

    Yu Zhili seemed very relaxed. He picked up the tea in front of him, took a sip, and then continued speaking.

    "What do you think about our son’s situation?"

    Oh, so it’s about this matter!

    Fu Yining remained exceptionally calm and frankly said, "He misjudged people and left his wife for another woman. I’ve asked him to stay elsewhere for a few days to cool off."

    She also cut off Yu Mingze’s ‘allowance,’ making him spend the money he earned himself. That wasn’t too much to ask, was it?

    Yu Zhili listened to Fu Yining’s thoughts and nodded in agreement.

    "I think the same. Qingyu didn’t do anything wrong; it’s our son who let her down."

    So, as a father, he decided to cooperate and suspended Yu Mingze’s black card. He wouldn’t unfreeze it until his son truly repented.

    Their family couldn’t tolerate a son who abandoned his wife and child. Such a Yu Mingze would never be the heir Yu Zhili would approve of.

    Yu Zhili was well aware of how much Yu Mingze’s company earned each month. That amount could never support Yu Mingze’s extravagant spending habits.

    Yu Zhili thought that if Yu Mingze lost his current financial support and the woman named Zheng Anran was still willing to be with him, then he would believe their love was genuine.

    At that time, he would allow his son and Zheng Anran to be together and let his son and daughter-in-law divorce.

    As for Song Qingyu, once she gave birth to the child, whether it was a boy or a girl, Yu Zhili planned to groom the child as the next heir of the Qigui Group.

    Unless Yu Mingze could ‘reform’ during this time, everything would proceed as usual.

    Hearing Yu Zhili’s thoughts, Fu Yining was somewhat surprised.

    Was this really his father? It should be, right? A father treating his son was even harsher than her, the ‘stepmother.’

    He was a ruthless man!

    Fu Yining wondered how this man would treat her if he knew she had taken over his wife's body.

    "What do you think about it?"

    "Ah? You're asking me?"

    Facing Yu Zhili's inquiring look, did Fu Yining dare to say "no"?

    Of course not.

    She could only agree and praise, "Dear, I think your plan is absolutely perfect!"

    "Good."

    Yu Zhili, unsure of what he was thinking, reached for the teacup in front of him, using it to hide the upward curve of his lips.

    This unintentional gesture of holding the teacup caught Fu Yining's attention, making her glance at his beautiful, large hands.

    His hands were fair and slender, with distinct knuckles. When he applied force, the veins on the backs of his hands would bulge, exuding a sexiness that was hard to describe.

    Fu Yining didn't consider herself a hand enthusiast, but even she found it hard to look away.

    However, as soon as she thought about this man's actions, she immediately cooled down.

    Scumbag, better keep a distance!

    Yu Zhili took only a small sip before setting down the cup and standing up.

    He looked down at Fu Yining and said, "Take your time. I'll go back to my room for a rest."

    "Take care, no need to see me off!"

    With the man gone, leaving her alone in the lounge, Fu Yining felt quite pleased.

    She picked up the still warm little bowl in front of her and happily enjoyed the beauty-enhancing soup.

    Outside the door, seeing Yu Zhili come out, Wang Yue quickly went over to update him on the situation at home.

    Inside the room, to avoid bumping into Yu Zhili again, Fu Yining sat for a while longer before calling someone to clear the table.

    She quietly peeked outside the door, confirming there was no sign of Yu Zhili, before lightly stepping forward toward her room upstairs.

    Even though Yu Zhili's room was also on the third floor, they didn't share a room. Fu Yining was very satisfied with this arrangement, which gave her freedom at night.

    Back in her room, Fu Yining got herself ready at top speed, sat on the bed, took out her phone, and joined her team in the game.

    Outside her door, having come out for a bit, Yu Zhili, passing by a certain room, was not surprised to hear the lively sounds coming from inside.

    His wife was indeed different.

    Yu Zhili's steps paused slightly, then he pretended nothing had happened and left.
