Chapter 453


    Fu Heyan was dressed in a traditional red gown with dark gold patterns on it, making her look


    otherworldly. Her slender figure made the gown even more dazzling.


    She did not have a soft personality and looks, so she was morepatible with such a dignified


    and generous outfit.


    When she walked down, Qin Sinian, who was drinking tea with the guests, had a sparkle in his


    eyes.


    Fan Xiaozhi clenched her palms. "Sister-inw, why didn''t you wear the dress I gave you? But this


    is also very beautiful. What I gave you is indeed iparable."


    She was hinting that Fu Heyan was disregarding her gift.


    Fu Heyan then looked at her and said, "The clothes you gave me are too expensive. I don''t deserve


    it. Xiaozhi, I think that the dress you gave me is really pretty, especially suitable for you."


    She turned to the servant beside her and said, "Bring that gown to the Second Young Madam.


    Consider it a gift from me. I''ll give this gown to you on your wedding anniversary next year. I won''t


    give you anything else then."


    The servant immediately took the peach-colored gown and unfolded it in front of everyone.


    If a young girl like Lan Tian had to think about what was wrong with this exquisite gown, Old Madam


    Qin and the others could tell at a nce.


    It was fine if Fu Heyan wore it, nobody would care about the meaning behind it, but if she hadn''t


    worn it, it would have been obvious that something was wrong.


    Fan Xiaozhi forced a smile. "So Sister-inw doesn''t like this style? When I showed you the sample


    previously, you didn''t say anything. I thought you liked it. I''m sorry." "When you showed me the


    sample, I really liked it. After all, you used bright red at that time. In the end, you changed it to


    peach red. After all, peach red is fresh and tender. It''s more suitable for you, Xiaozhi," Fu Heyan


    said with a smile. "Someone, wrap it up and send it to Xiaozhi''s vi."


    Lan Tian also said, "Sister Xiaozhi is indeed more suitable for this color. She''s soft and weak. This


    color is fresh and pretty. Our Sister Heyan is tall, so she''s more suitable for this dignified color."


    Fu Heyan and Lan Tian''s words were sharp, but both of them were smiling and their words were


    wless.


    He Ziheng and the other men did not react immediately, but the female seniors had already seen


    through the problem.


    Even if everyone had some opinions about Fu Heyan treating a pregnant woman like this, they


    couldn''t say anything. After all, Fan Xiaozhi was the one who provoked her first, so she deserved


    the result.


    Actually, Old Madam Qin liked Fu Heyan''s personality. Like her, she could also be the matriarch of a


    wealthy family. It was because of her refusal to give birth that Old Madam Qin''s heart turned cold


    and her attitude towards Fu Heyan slowly turned sour.


    "Xiaozhi, since your sister-inw is kind enough to give it to you, just ept it," Old Madam Qin


    said.


    Fan Xiaozhi had no choice, but to ept it.


    She nced at her husband and mother-inw. Neither of them had any intention of speaking up


    for her. She felt even more wronged.


    After this little episode, everyone continued to drink their tea. The men were apanied by Qin


    Sinian, the female guests were apanied by Fu Heyan, and there were also a few close


    rtives, Old Madam Fu, and Fu Heyan''s friends.


    Fan Xiaozhi also brought along a friend of hers without notifying them. As the host, Fu Heyan didn''t


    directly invite her out since she was already here.


    He Ziheng drank his tea and suddenly pped his forehead. "Why do I remember that in ancient


    times, only concubines would wear peach red?"


    After he finished speaking, there was a second of silence.


    Qin Sinian slowly brewed the tea and looked at Qin Fan deeply before saying, "Qin Fan, try this tea.


    It seems pretty good."


    "Let me try."


    The silence was broken.


    Qin Fan took a sip and said with a smile, "The taste is indeed not bad. I can only get good tea from


    you, Cousin."


    "There are better ones."


    "Even better? So what you gave us wasn''t the best," He Ziheng said.


    Qin Sinian picked up a cup of tea. "It''s not easy to get good tea. I''ve always kept the best for Heyan.


    I''ve never been willing to share what she likes to drink, and I can''t even bear to drink it myself. In


    our house, even if she''s not picky, I have to give her the best." Everyone praised him for treating Fu


    Heyan well. Fu Heyan was so blessed.N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    Only Qin Fan suddenly realized something. He recalled that He Ziheng had said only concubines


    would wear peach red. His thoughts were on the gown Fan Xiaozhi gifted.


    Qin Fan understood why Fu Heyan was unwilling to wear that outfit. His heart sank. He could still


    understand Qin Sinian''s words. The key was that he really didn''t expect Fan Xiaozhi to not know the


    rules to such an extent and publicly use such clothes as a gift.


    There was no way she made a mistake by chance, because she studied a lot of clothing. It was


    definitely not a coincidence that she had given such clothes.


    More importantly, Fan Xiaozhi''s actions... showed that she still had a problem with Fu Heyan.


    Why did she have a problem? Wasn''t it because she liked Qin Sinian back then?


    The more Qin Fan thought about it, the more frustrated he became. He could not sit still and felt


    ufortable. He wished he could confront Fan Xiaozhi on the spot.


    Qin Sinian had also achieved his goal of hinting to Qin Fan, so he continued to serve everyone new


    tea with a good temper.


    As the head of the n, he had to put Fan Xiaozhi in her ce. However, with his status, he didn''t


    want to get into trouble with Fan Xiaozhi. Thus, it was more convenient for him to start with Qin Fan.


    He would not interfere in other people''s affairs.


    ***


    When Shi Jin saw that Fu Heyan dealt with Fan Xiaozhi''s provocation cleanly, she was slightly


    relieved.


    Fan Xiaozhi was pped in the face. She was no longer as talkative as before, but she still brought


    her friend and walked around like she was the owner.


    Shi Jin looked at Fan Xiaozhi''s friend. That woman was pretty, but she was simr to Fan Xiaozhi.


    She was far inferior to Fu Heyan.


    Logically speaking, there shouldn''t be any trouble.


    With that thought in mind, it was lunchtime. Shi Jin had no choice, but to stop thinking about it and


    help Fu Heyan invite the guests to the table.


    During the meal, Fu Xiuyuan specifically chose the seat beside Shi Jin.


    He Ziheng smiled and said, "Boss, you really don''t give us any chance to toast you."


    Madam Qin and the others were not surprised to see Fu Xiuyuan and Shi Jin sitting together.


    Shi Jin was the prettiest girl in the room. It was reasonable for Fu Xiuyuan to want to sit with her.


    Besides, they had vaguely heard that the beauty Fu Xiuyuan kept hidden in his house was Shi Jin.


    "Are you a little distracted today?" Fu Xiuyuan asked softly.
