I Want A Lifetime With You

Fu Zhengyun’s birthday party was considered a big event among the upper class of the entire Jiang City. It wasn’t very much because of Fu Zhengyun himself, but rather because of the fact that the Fu clan was currently one of the most powerful clans in Jiang City. Besides, the Li clan was the only clan that was comparable to the Fu clan previously, but after what Li Heng did, the Li clan had fallen to the bottom of the pit and did not seem to be rising up anytime soon. As such, it could be said that Jiang City was ruled by the Fu clan at the moment.

Moreover, Fu Chengyan was doing increasingly well and getting more famous these days. Everyone was fighting for a chance to be associated with the Fu clan and Shengyuan.

As long as they could establish some ties with Shengyuan however remotely it might be, it would be easy for them to gain a foothold in Jiang City. Every man for himself. That saying was applied perfectly to businessmen.

People from all parts of the city were thinking of ways to get their hands on an invitation card, but not everyone could have their wishes fulfilled. Fu Yuqing’s family was no exception. However, the butler of the Fu clan had not promised that family an invitation and Fu Yuqing was getting increasingly anxious. He was previously vying for a share in Shengyuan’s project but had failed to do so.

Fu Yuqing took a look at his son and daughter-in-law and was frustrated that the two of them couldn’t be of any help.

Fu Xicheng, on the other hand, was not very keen on attending the Old Master’s birthday celebration as he was a man of dignity. Both he and Fu Chengyan were members of the Fu clan, but there was a stark difference in their statuses. Fu Xicheng had lived with this disparity for many years and it had gotten worse in the recent two years.

Despite that, Fu Xicheng had still intended to go, disregarding his personal preferences. That was because even if he did not get to enter the main hall, he would still be able to meet and network with other successful businessmen, which was of utmost importance to Fucheng at that point in time.

Shi Wei had dressed up and gotten ready in advance. She was not aware of the split in venues and was certain that she would be able to meet some big shots at the banquet. Besides, she was currently a popular artiste under Xinhuang, a subsidiary of Shengyuan. As such, Shi Wei had made sure that she was in tiptop condition today.

However, Shi Wei noticed that Fu Xicheng did not look too good and had assumed that he was not feeling well. It was until they arrived at the location that the woman realized what her husband had been brooding over on the way there. “Why can’t we go inside? You mean there are two separate venues?”

Fu Xicheng was already looking gloomy. After hearing what Shi Wei said, his expression darkened even further. “Must you talk so loudly?”

“Why are you reprimanding me? Isn’t your last name ‘Fu’ as well?” Aren’t you a member of the Fu clan? Why are you not allowed to go in?” Shi Wei seemed to have suddenly realized that not all members of the Fu clan were equal. Even if they shared the same last name, they might not necessarily share the same treatment.

With that new understanding, Shi Wei’s face fell and she looked at Fu Xicheng with a cold gaze. “Previously, were you just bullshi*ting when you told me that every member of the Fu clan is prominent?”

“OK, that’s enough.” Fu Xicheng glared at Shi Wei and continued, “It’s too late to regret anyway!”

“You…”

“Hello, are the both of you Mr. Fu Xicheng and Ms. Shi Wei?”
