Chapter 456 - 455: Mother Fu Knows About Qin Sitong

Qin Sitong waved the idea away. While she enjoyed browsing TikTok from time to time, she would never get a crush on someone just from that.

Being a fangirl was something she would never do.

Since Qin Sitong put it that way, Yun Zijin didn’t press the issue.

After dropping Qin Sitong back at the university, Yun Zijin called Lu Yunque.

When he learned Yun Zijin was done with her errands, Lu Yunque quickly updated her on his schedule to give her a rough timeline.

Yun Zijin wasn’t as concerned as Lu Yunque expected. Upon learning he still had work to do, she offered to go to the Lu Group building and wait for him to finish.

Hearing her understanding, the corners of Lu Yunque’s lips curved up slightly.

"Okay, call me when you get here. I’ll come down to get you if I’m free. If I’m busy, I’ll have Mo Bin meet you."

Lu Yunque didn’t make a firm promise because he wasn’t sure what he’d be in the middle of when she arrived.

Yun Zijin didn’t care who came down to get her. The security guards and front desk staff at Lu Group all recognized her, and it wasn’t as if she couldn’t operate an elevator by herself.

On her way to the Lu Group building, Yun Zijin’s four-person WeChat group was suddenly blown up by messages from Su Mengyao.

However, when she saw the content of Su Mengyao’s messages, Yun Zijin immediately sat up straight.

’Those two... they actually got together just like that, so quietly?’

Su Mengyao had posted photos in the group chat: one of her and Sheng Yang holding hands, and another of the flowers he’d given her.

Initially, Su Mengyao had only managed to start talking with Sheng Yang thanks to Yun Zijin, and that’s how they eventually got to know each other.

Now that they were together, the first person Su Mengyao wanted to tell was Yun Zijin.

But then she had second thoughts. Among their group of four close friends, if she only told Yun Zijin and the others found out, they would surely come after her. In the end, she decided to post it directly in the group chat.

After posting the photos, Su Mengyao tagged Yun Zijin, offered her sincere thanks, and then posted a picture of a Hermes crocodile leather handbag, explaining that it was a thank-you gift for her.

Hermes bags are notoriously difficult to acquire, to say nothing of ones made from exotic leathers like crocodile.

You wouldn’t even be qualified for an allocation without having spent millions at their boutiques.

——Qingqing Zijing: Oh, you shouldn’t have! In that case, I’ll happily accept!

What was an incredibly difficult-to-buy exotic leather bag for most people wasn’t such a challenge for Yun Zijin.

Her walk-in closet was already home to quite a few bags made from Himalayan crocodile leather.

Although Yun Zijin got a gift, Su Mengyao didn’t leave out Qin Sitong and Tu Tutu. She quickly posted pictures of two more bags for them.

While they weren’t as difficult to obtain as Yun Zijin’s crocodile bag, they were still highly sought-after models.

Qin Sitong and Tu Tutu both spammed the chat with stickers expressing their immense gratitude to Su Mengyao.

However, just as Qin Sitong replied to the group message, she received a call from Fu Ze.

"Hello...?"

Qin Sitong had assumed Fu Ze was calling to ask her out, but he was actually calling to give her a warning.

"Tongtong, my mom found out about us. She looked you up behind my back and is now heading to Dijing University."

"I’ll do my best to intercept her. Right now, you need to go back to your dorm room and stay there. Don’t come out, no matter what happens."

Outsiders weren’t normally allowed into the women’s dorms at Dijing University; only residents of that specific building could enter.

Even female students from other dorms on campus had to present their student and national IDs and sign a visitor log to see a friend.

Inside her dorm, Qin Sitong would be completely safe.

"Your mom is coming to see me... Please tell me this isn’t going to be some dramatic soap opera scene where the tycoon’s mother throws a check at me and tells me to leave you."

It was no wonder Qin Sitong thought this way. Yun Zijin had previously told her about the Fu Family’s situation, so she knew that if anyone were to object to her relationship with Fu Ze, his mother would definitely be the first.

The fact that Fu Ze’s mother would investigate her behind his back already said a lot about the kind of person she was.

It was obvious what Fu Ze’s mother intended to do by coming to find her.

Hearing Fu Ze’s words, Qin Sitong frowned.

Although she had considered this possibility when she’d agreed to be with Fu Ze, her heart still ached a little now that it was actually happening.

To be honest, Qin Sitong didn’t know how long she could last in a relationship that didn’t have his family’s blessing.

"I get it. But if your mom comes looking for me, wouldn’t it be bad if I just hid and refused to see her?"

’Mindless avoidance isn’t the answer,’ Qin Sitong thought.

’I can’t just hide from his mother every single time she disapproves of something.’

Qin Sitong didn’t want that.

Fu Ze could tell Qin Sitong was upset, but this was an unexpected crisis, and he knew he was the one who hadn’t handled things properly.

If he had managed to persuade his mother beforehand, none of this would be happening.

Fu Ze was terrified that his mother would get to Qin Sitong’s dorm before he could intercept her. He could already imagine the gossip, how people at school would point and whisper until Qin Sitong couldn’t even walk with her head held high.

All he could do now was pray that his mom would drive a little slower, or at least that no one would find out she was there to see Qin Sitong.

"It’s okay. I’ll talk to my mom and sort this out."

In any case, his mother was the only difficult one in the entire Fu Family. He had already laid the groundwork with everyone else; no one else would stand up and object.

"I think I’ll wait in the pavilion in front of my dorm. No matter what her attitude is, it wouldn’t be right for me to hide from her."

’If I actually listen to Fu Ze and hide in my room no matter what, it’ll only leave an even worse impression on his mother.’

Fu Ze wanted to say more, but Qin Sitong had already hung up.

Fu Ze tossed his phone onto the passenger seat, his expression grim.

He floored the accelerator, and the roar of the supercar was sudden and conspicuous on the road.

A red LaFerrari weaved rapidly through traffic, speeding toward Dijing University.

「Dijing University.」

Qin Sitong sat in the pavilion in front of the women’s dorm. After hanging up, she sent a crying emoji to her four-person group chat.

’Su Mengyao just shared her happy news, and here I am, already facing the first obstacle in our relationship.’

Just then, Yun Zijin was arriving at the main entrance of the Lu Group building. As she stepped out of the car, she felt her phone vibrate and instinctively glanced at it.

Seeing a message from Qin Sitong, she immediately unlocked her phone to check.

When she saw Qin Sitong had sent a crying emoji, she replied with a question mark and typed out a message asking what was wrong.

As she entered the Lu Group building, Yun Zijin immediately spotted Mo Bin standing by the front desk.

When Mo Bin saw Yun Zijin, he hurried over to greet her. "Miss Yun, the President is in a meeting. He asked me to come down and get you."

Yun Zijin nodded. "Okay, let’s go."

Mo Bin walked slightly ahead and to the left of Yun Zijin, leading the way and pressing the elevator button for her.
