Chapter 15

She remembered that there had been no leaked video of Gu Minghan in the book. In the original plot, Gu Minghan had hired people to abduct Fu Siyao and rape her. Fu Siyao had been the victim.

Now, after watching the video, she realized that the person raped by the homeless man had become Gu Minghan. Their positions had been reversed. Had the plot really changed this much?

When Su Wanqiao realized this, she suddenly felt immensely satisfied. Let it change, then. This change in the plot was wonderful. It must have been because more people were protecting Fu Siyao and keeping her safe that the disaster from the original plot had never happened.

As for what had happened to Gu Minghan, he had simply deserved it. His attempt to harm someone had failed, and for some unknown reason, he had ended up disgraced and ruined instead.

Actually, even this outcome was not enough to vent her anger. He deserved something far more painful. After all, Fu Siyao had suffered terribly at Gu Minghan's hands. Even slicing him into a thousand pieces would not have been excessive.

As she was thinking about this, Su Wanqiao suddenly received a call from Fu Siyao.

"Sister-in-law, are you free? I'd like to treat you to dinner."

Su Wanqiao and Fu Siyao had barely interacted. They had only met a few times at the Fu Family's old residence, and those encounters had not been particularly pleasant.

Fu Siyao ought to have felt indifferent toward her. When had her attitude toward her become so friendly?

Still, since Fu Siyao was extending an olive branch, she would not deliberately make things difficult. She agreed outright. "I'm free."

The original owner had only ever raised hell with the villain. Her attitude toward everyone else had been fairly normal. Besides, their relationship had barely been described in the plot, so she did not really need to put on an act around Fu Siyao.

"That's great! Pine and Crane Manor tonight. My treat."

The moment Su Wanqiao heard the name Pine and Crane Manor, she knew how sincerely Fu Siyao meant this invitation. The original owner's memories told her that it was an upscale private restaurant that did not accept nonmembers. Only VIPs with a net worth in the tens of millions could make reservations at their restaurant.

That made her feel even more surprised. Why was Fu Huaiyan's younger sister suddenly being so nice to her? She had just broken off her engagement, and her former fiancé was embroiled in such an ugly public scandal. Surely she would not be in the mood to invite her to dinner.

Meanwhile, the threat that had weighed on Fu Siyao's mind had finally been eliminated for good. She had avoided this crisis because of Su Wanqiao, so she was filled with gratitude toward her sister-in-law.

This was also the first time she began to take this eldest sister-in-law of hers seriously and truly acknowledge her position.

After this incident, she decided to genuinely respect and treat Su Wanqiao as the Fu Family's eldest sister-in-law.

Fu Siyao was also sincerely inviting Su Wanqiao to dinner to express her gratitude.

Soon, evening arrived, along with their agreed meeting time.

Fu Siyao drove over especially to pick Su Wanqiao up. Her car was a pale pink Ferrari, with a beautiful color and exquisitely sleek lines.

Su Wanqiao could not help giving the Ferrari a few extra looks.

The pink is so pretty.

Fu Siyao immediately smiled generously. "Do you like it, eldest sister-in-law? Then this car is yours. It's a gesture from your younger sister. I hope you won't turn your nose up at it."

"..."

"Oh, how could I accept that?"

Su Wanqiao was surprised that Fu Huaiyan's younger sister had the same habit as him. She really had only been expressing her sincere admiration, not saying that she wanted it.

"There's nothing to feel awkward about. We're family. What's one car? It's new, too. I hardly ever drive it. I think giving it to you is perfectly fitting, sister-in-law."

"All right, then."

Fu Siyao is being so generous. I should give her an expensive gift in return, too.

"Sister-in-law, you don't need to give me anything in return. There's nothing I lack."

"????"

Su Wanqiao was instantly horrified.

Why did it feel as though the other woman knew everything she was thinking?

And she had noticed that Fu Huaiyan seemed to be like this, too. It was far too strange.

Have the Fu Family members suddenly had their minds opened and become smarter? Keep this up, right to the very end!

"..."

Fu Siyao said nothing more after that. She did not want to expose herself, so she restrained herself from speaking further.

When they reached the parking lot of the Pine and Crane Restaurant, they spotted a particularly conspicuous, flashy silver Lamborghini among the expensive luxury cars everywhere.

It caught their attention so readily first because it was a limited edition, and second because it belonged to the Fu Family.

Fu Siyao told Su Wanqiao, "That's my second brother's car. He might be having dinner with friends here tonight, too."

Su Wanqiao nodded, thinking that the Fu Family's cars were clearly easy for its members to recognize. The car accident in the plot had been pinned on Fu Huaiyan.

Was Fu Yunqi also having dinner with friends at Pine and Crane Manor?

Neither of them gave it much thought, instead following a staff member to their private dining room.

Fu Siyao sent Fu Yunqi a text asking about what he was doing.

Before long, Fu Yunqi really did leave his own private dining room and come to theirs.

As it turned out, Fu Yunqi was hosting several film and television investors and directors at Pine and Crane Manor that day, hoping to secure a project called "The Legend of Yuzhou."

He exchanged a few casual pleasantries with Fu Siyao and Su Wanqiao. His attitude toward Su Wanqiao had also improved considerably because of recent events. But just as he stood up to leave, he heard-

Fu Yunqi won't get the male lead in this project. He treated them to dinner, spent the money, and devoted several months to studying the script, only for some young traffic star to sleep his way to the top and snatch the male lead role away. He's a complete sucker...

In the end, Jiang Ruoning stepped in to comfort him and even suggested that he play a supporting role, saying that as a senior, he ought to make way for newcomers. He could also form a CP with her, the second female lead.

Who would have thought that idiot Fu Yunqi would actually agree?

"!!!"

Chapter 15

In the original plot, after being played for a fool, Fu Yunqi couldn't swallow the insult. He had intended to turn everything upside down and, at the very least, leave Ji Xingyue's reputation in tatters.

But because Jiang Ruoning's saintly heart acted up, she wanted to turn a major incident into a minor one and then make it disappear altogether. She hinted that the supporting male character could be promoted as a CP with the second female lead and had him play the second male lead in this drama. Fu Yunqi liked Jiang Ruoning, so he actually swallowed even this humiliation. I have to say, a love brain really is terrifying.
