Chapter 162: Chapter 161: It’s Just a Trifle

The silver ring’s interior was adorned with orchids!

Orchids are the clan flower of the Fu Family, generally only carved on tokens representing the family.

And this ring… if he was not mistaken…

It was the only token passed down to the family matriarch!

Holding this ring, even walking sideways in the Capital City is the most basic right.

Furthermore, Chi Gui could even participate in all internal decision-making of the Fu Family and possess the power to veto and amend!

As the leading family among the Four Great Families of Kyoto, the Fu Family had intricate connections with the higher-ups; each internal decision could not only shake the foundation of the Fu Family but might even cause massive tremors throughout Huaxia!

And now…

Mr. Fu had simply placed such an important ring in an ordinary box and casually gifted it to an outsider??

Fang Qing suddenly felt the hands holding the box were incredibly heavy.

He thought for a moment, stepped aside, and dialed Old Sir Fu’s number.

–

Chi Gui frowned, put the ring back into the box, took out her phone, and sent a message to Fu Si: “Thank you for your kindness. I cannot accept this gift, it’s too valuable.”

She didn’t know what the ring truly represented.

But with the Fu Family’s crest on it, it must be significant.

Chi Gui always saw herself as “just a doctor,” and although she didn’t mind befriending people from the Four Major Families, a family token… was crossing the line.

Fu Si had no idea what he was doing, and after a while, he replied: “It’s just a trinket, don’t worry about it.”

Chi Gui: …

Only he could refer to his family’s token as a “trinket.”

She didn’t reply to Fu Si again and carefully stored the box away, planning to return it to Old Sir Fu in a couple of days.

–

Meanwhile.

At the Fu Family.

Fu Chengzhou and Yu Jin sat to the right in the dining room, happily chatting with Old Sir Fu.

Old Sir Fu sat in the main seat, with Fu Si lazily beside him, his handsome face and the eyes behind his glasses radiating boredom.

Fu Chengzhou, Old Sir Fu’s younger son, had separated from the main Fu Family after getting married and was currently managing the family’s largest entertainment company.

Yu Jin sat next to Fu Chengzhou, a picture of elegance and joy, her face bright with excitement: “Dad, you might not know yet, but Fu Wen recently started dating Xia Jinjin… the top student from Huaxia University who was accepted early into the research institute by Academician Wei.”

Hearing this, Fu Si slightly lifted his eyes to look at her.

Old Sir Fu was clearly thrilled to hear of his grandson’s accomplishments, nodding and praising, “That girl is also very outstanding! Good job, Fu Wen!”

Although compared to Chi Gui, Xia Jinjin’s talent and achievements are far behind.

But Chi Gui is a once-in-a-millennium genius, a special talent sent by the heavens to save humanity, incomparable.

Marrying Xia Jinjin is also a fine choice.

Yu Jin smiled and pretended to sigh: “Ah, my son is far behind Fu Si, he just loves studying… I guess that’s what attracted a study nerd like Xia Jinjin to him? He’s lucky.”

After saying this, she glanced at Fu Si, who was busy texting, and seemingly casually asked: “Is Fu Si texting his girlfriend? I heard you have a girlfriend in Nancheng, when will you bring her here for everyone to see? She must be outstanding if you’re interested in her.”

This remark made the butler standing by Old Sir Fu and the surrounding servants’ faces slightly unnatural.

Mr. Fu had picked up a girl from a small family in the rural areas of Nancheng, a matter tightly kept from outsiders, but impossible to conceal from family members.

It was humiliating to even mention it.

Old Sir Fu’s expression also darkened.

However, Fu Si, upon hearing this, casually lifted his eyes and his lips curled slightly, his beautiful, captivating eyes gleamed.

His voice was deep and luxurious, carrying an air of nonchalance: “Soon.”

Old Sir Fu’s eyes narrowed, just as he was about to speak, his phone suddenly rang.
