After Bankruptcy, the Billionaire Asked Me to Marry Him!-Chapter 232: Lady Takes Action, One Against Two!

Just past two o’clock, Xiang Yang had prepared the documents for the Boss to sign in the president’s office.

The phone on the desk rang, the receptionist on the first floor said there was a takeout delivery for him, asking if it should be brought up or if he would come down to collect it.

Xiang Yang’s eyes lit up instantly, "Don’t touch it, I’ll be right there to get it!"

He didn’t even bother with the documents anymore.

His spirits were no longer down.

With his chest puffed out, Xiang Yang went downstairs and upon returning, he seemed to be rejuvenated.

Knock, knock, knock!

He knocked on the president’s office door and, sure enough, heard the warm "Come in."

The chill of the past few days melted away.

His heart settled back into his stomach as Xiang Yang pushed the door open, "Boss, the Lady ordered a love-filled lunch for you."

He laid out the lunchbox on the coffee table.

Placed the documents that needed signing on the desk.

As Xiang Yang turned to leave, he was stopped by Fu Yanci, "Wait a second..."

Turning back around, he saw Fu Yanci pick up the pen, quickly flip through the documents, and sign them before handing them back to him.

Sure enough, when the Lady intervened, it was worth two!

Internally marveling, Xiang Yang keenly realized that he might have just discovered the secret to getting promoted, getting a raise, and reaching the pinnacle of his career!

Fu Yanci, all the while picking up the chopsticks, couldn’t shake the girl’s stirring words from his mind.

Fu Yanci, I want to be your pride and glory!

The gloom of the past two days cleared instantly, and as he looked at the greasy and strongly flavored dishes in front of him, along with the somewhat glaring sunlight outside, Fu Yanci felt that everything suddenly seemed much more agreeable.

The phone rang again, thinking it was Ye Li calling to ask if he had started lunch yet, Fu Yanci’s eyes softened with gentleness.

The pleasant and relaxed expression vanished as he picked up the phone, Fu Yanci answered the call, "Sis..."

The call was from Fu Minghui, "Yanci, next Saturday is my birthday, can you come?"

The sibling relationship between Fu Yanci and Fu Minghui wasn’t exactly close, but compared to other siblings in Imperial City’s rich families, who were at each other’s throats, it was a lot better.

The siblings were twenty years apart, and from the start, Fu Minghui never felt threatened by Fu Yanci’s presence in her status as the young lady of the Fu Family.

By the time Fu Minghui married Zhou Jinrui, Zhou Jinrui thought the same.

As a result, the couple bet on the wrong horse.

If they hadn’t disregarded Fu Yanci in the past, today’s Zhou Family might have become the top family right after the Fu Family.

One wrong step led to many.

Now, trying to mend their relationship had become even more difficult.

As if expecting Fu Yanci to refuse, Fu Minghui spoke softly, "I actually didn’t want to celebrate it, but your brother-in-law said that a 49th birthday should be celebrated properly. I’ve invited only the close friends and relatives we get along with. If you’re too busy, you can just drop by for a moment, okay?"

Older people believe in celebrating one’s 49th birthday but not the 50th, as a sign of long and perpetual fortune.

Fu Yanci thought for a moment, "Okay."

The mood was audible in Fu Minghui’s tone, "Great, then I’ll tell Xiang Yang to remind you in advance."

After speaking, Fu Minghui hesitated before asking, "Yanci, should I send an invitation to Mrs. Ye?"

Logically, an invitation should be sent; they had been good friends for many years and were both best friends and in-laws.

But Fu Minghui knew about Li Xueqing’s situation.

With a lot of people at the party, the words ’Ye Family’s bankruptcy’ were already fatal enough, and letting Li Xueqing find out about Ye Mushen’s death could lead to even bigger problems.

If Fu Minghui had thought of it, so had Fu Yanci.

"No need!"

Fu Yanci said gravely, "Just Ye Li and I will be there."

Ye Li was coming too?

Buzz!

Fu Minghui’s scalp buzzed, tingling all over.
