Fu Chengyan nodded, giving his consent silently. However, Shi Nuan noticed the subtly unwilling expression on his face. Her eyes rounded as she asked, “The Yun family? Which one do you mean?”

Fu Chengyan’s dark gaze fell on her. He raised his eyebrow, and she instantly understood what he meant. “You mean Yun Shen?”

He then nodded while responding flatly, “Who else would it be? There’s only one Yun family in all of Jiang City.”

“I thought the Fu clan was not close to the Yun family!” Shi Nuan said as she clicked her tongue. That was because she rarely heard about the Yun family from Fu Chengyan even though she had been with him for a long time. If not for Jiang Yu, who had her eyes on Yun Shen all the time because she wanted to matchmake Shi Nuan and Yun Shen, Shi Nuan would have no impression of the Yun family at all.

Upon listening to all that, Ning Xin smiled. “It’s only understandable that you don’t know. After all, we aren’t that close with the Yun family. It’s just that it has something to do with the last generations of the two families, so we somehow share the same bloodline. Regardless, you don’t have to be too concerned about it.”

Shi Nuan nodded. It looks like both families don’t have a really close relationship. Nonetheless, since it’s Old Mrs. Yun’s birthday, as the younger generation, it’s only right that we visit out of respect.

She went upstairs, she hesitated for a while before eventually asking Fu Chengyan,

“Why have you never talked about the Yun family with me?”

“Do you want to know about them?” questioned Fu Chengyan in return.

“When have you become so interested in gossip?” He removed his jacket and looked at Shi Nuan. Despite teasing her, he still gave a brief explanation about what happened between the last generations of the two families. “Although we don’t interact much with the Yun family, we’re more or less related to Old Mrs. Yun.”

“What does that mean?” Shi Nuan felt suspicious.

“Old Mrs. Yun was once a member of the Fu clan.”

That shocked Shi Nuan, who quickly asked, “A member of the Fu clan? Do you mean Old Mrs. Yun was once a member of our family?”

Fu Chengyan shook his head at her question. “Not at all!”

“Then, why did you say she’s a member of the Fu clan just now? What does that mean?” Shi Nuan became even more perplexed.

“Old Mrs. Yun’s name is Jiang Jingyun. She married my granduncle when she was younger, but my granduncle passed away at a young age. The Fu clan’s elders did not wish for her to be a widow, so they allowed her to look for another suitable man and get married again.”

It was then that realization dawned on Shi Nuan. “She married Yun Shen’s grandfather!” “That’s right.” Fu Chengyan nodded.

He continued, “Although she got remarried, she was still in contact with the Fu clan. As you know, my grandpa used to visit the Yun family a lot before. My dad and Uncle Heng did the same. However, as time went by, the two families grew apart. Not to mention, Old Mr. Yun passed a few years ago, making the two families more distant.”

Shi Nuan finally understood the entire situation. When Old Master Yun was still alive, there was a reason for the two families to keep in contact. However, after he departed this world, the families no longer felt inclined to maintain ties with each other.

“Still, we should attend Old Mrs. Yun’s upcoming birthday,” said Fu Chengyan.

Shi Nuan frowned. Even though what he said was right, she felt slightly reluctant to attend Old Mrs. Yun’s birthday banquet.

Fu Chengyan could tell that Shi Nuan was upset from her bitter expression.

“All we have to do is show up for a while. I know you don’t like banquets, but please,” Fu Chengyan consoled, knowing that the latter did not want to see Yun Shen, but he did not say it outrightly.

Knowing that the decision had gotten made, Shi Nuan did not argue anymore. She relented, “All right.”

The day of Old Mrs. Yun’s birthday soon arrived. Shi Nuan did not have to worry about it too much as the birthday presents were all prepared by Ning Xin. After all, the latter was thoughtful and would unquestionably prepare decently thought out gifts.

The birthday banquet took place in a massive residence owned by the Yun family. Shi Nuan and Fu Chengyan were not the hosts, so they did not have to go there early. Guests crowded the mansion in swarms by the time the couple arrived. Nonetheless, the lively atmosphere froze as soon as Fu Chengyan and Shi Nuan arrived.

Everyone recognized Fu Chengyan at once. The guests were all businessmen, and Old Mrs. Yun’s birthday only served as a gimmick. The most important part of the banquet was to foster ties with other affluent figures who would help their business. When they saw Fu Chengyan, they approached him to try to gain his favor. However, once they caught sight of the woman beside him, they became stunned.

It was rare to meet Fu Chengyan face-to-face. Thus, today’s banquet was considered a lucky encounter to have seen him, even if it was at one glance. He rarely attended such public events, and it was shocking to see a woman by his side.

While everyone tried guessing where Shi Nuan’s background was, some of the guests noticed that she only wore a pair of flats and had simple make-up. She did not dress very extravagantly. She was a stunning woman. Yet, her presence seemed less presentable and noticeable than the other wealthy women in the banquet, who got wholly dressed up with intention.

None of them knew who the woman next to Fu Chengyan was. Moreover, he was an outstanding man who was always the center of attention in the crowd. Now that he had a woman that seemed so ordinary as his companion, everyone felt perplexed.

Shi Nuan could feel the guests scrutinizing her. She maintained a faint smile on her face, her arm holding onto Fu Chengyan’s as she refrained from doing anything reckless.

“Are you nervous?” Fu Chengyan asked while lowering his gaze onto Shi Nuan.
