Fu Zheng’s first visit ended with him holding several red envelopes.
Holding the envelopes, Fu Zheng appeared at a loss. “Maybe I should return them?”
Their heavy weight made him uneasy.
He had never received such substantial red envelopes in his life. Moreover, these weren’t cash; their shape was different, much smaller than cash, yet they felt weighty, almost like gold bars.
Su Ying glanced at the red envelopes in his hands and said, “Take what elders give you. If you return them, they’ll be unhappy.”
“But this welcome gift is too precious!” Fu Zheng couldn’t help but swallow.
“These things are nothing in their eyes. Don’t overthink it.” Su Ying had already guessed what was inside. With her adoptive father’s wealth, he wouldn’t be stingy.
The older generation liked gold.
After the Su family became wealthy, Su Dazhi bought many gold bars to keep at home. In his opinion, banknotes would depreciate, but gold wouldn’t. Nothing was more reliable than gold!
Under his influence, they also felt that buying gold was a good investment. Therefore, she was accustomed to casually giving gold bars as welcome gifts.
The first time Su He brought Lu Yanbei home, Su Dazhi had also given a bag of gold.
Fu Zheng was somewhat speechless.
Were all Su family members so ostentatious with their wealth!
Compared to them, his Fu family could only be considered moderately well-off!

Back at his residence, Fu Zheng took a picture of the welcome gifts and posted it in the family group chat. His relatives, who had been lurking, were all met with a string of question marks after seeing his photo.
“Cousin, did you rob a bank?”
“It’s not a holiday, why are you posting this!”
“Brother, do you need money?”
Soon, dozens of messages flooded in.
Fu Zheng, still feeling the effects of the alcohol, lay on the sofa and replied word by word, “I just visited my girlfriend’s home. These are the welcome gifts from her uncle and aunt!”
“You’re bragging, kid! Who gives such heavy gifts on a first meeting!”
“Exactly! It looks so fake! Be honest, where did you steal the map from!”
“They’re made of chocolate, hahaha!”
Seeing that they didn’t believe him, Fu Zheng grew a little annoyed. He picked up his phone and took several more close-up shots. To prove he wasn’t lying, he even included his own hand in the photos.
His fingers were long and slender, his nails a delicate pink, fair and tender, comparable to a hand model. The only imperfection was a slight scar on his index finger from an accident with firecrackers in his childhood.
This scar, however, became a unique mark.
“No way? It’s really gold!”
“Brother, you’ve struck it rich!”
“They give such heavy welcome gifts on the first meeting? Then when my sister-in-law comes, how much will Uncle and Aunt prepare!”
The Fu couple, who had been silently observing: …
These few gold bars alone were worth at least several million. That was the extent of their family’s accessible funds.
“Brother, did you find a sugar mama?”
“Isn’t our sister-in-law much older than you?”
“Can we see a photo of your girlfriend? Post it so we can all see!”
“Brother, does our sister-in-law have any siblings? Please introduce them!”
Amidst the flurry of crazy comments, Fu Zheng picked one to reply to: “Dream on! My girlfriend’s siblings are all spoken for!”
“Are they married? If not, I can still try!”
“It doesn’t matter if they’re married, I can wait for them to divorce!”
Fu Zheng fell silent.
Indeed, under the lure of profit, people’s hearts could change.
He hadn’t forgotten how these siblings had previously been dismissive of Su Ying. They’d called her too old, or too assertive and not caring enough, constantly urging him to break up.
Now, their attitude had done a complete 180-degree turn.
What happened to the principle of not being corrupted by wealth and status?
“You can search for photos online,” Fu Zheng replied. “However, she’s not very photogenic. She’s a hundred times more beautiful in person than in pictures!”
“Tsk tsk, sure, beauty is in the eye of the beholder!”
“Our brother is really smitten!”
“Congratulations, congratulations!”
“When are you bringing her back?” Father Fu, who had been silent, suddenly chimed in.
Just as Fu Zheng was about to reply, Su Ying emerged from her shower. Seeing him lying on the sofa motionless, she assumed he was completely drunk. “Aren’t you going to shower?”
Fu Zheng put down his phone and tugged at her hand coquettishly. “I’m drunk, I can’t walk. Sister, help me wash…”
Su Ying met his innocent and harmless eyes, a shiver running down her spine. “You… didn’t you just say you weren’t drunk and could drink another bottle?”
“In front of my future father-in-law and brothers-in-law, I naturally couldn’t admit it. But at home… hehe, there’s no need to pretend anymore…” Fu Zheng said, leaning in and nuzzling her waist. “Please…?”
Su Ying couldn’t stand it, her earlobes unconsciously reddening. “Really can’t walk?”
“Mm.” Fu Zheng put on a pitiful expression.
“Then, I’ll help you to the bathroom.” It was impossible for her to bathe him, but Su Ying couldn’t just leave him. So, she settled for the next best thing, escorting him to the bathroom as completing the task.
Since Fu Zheng was feigning drunkenness, he naturally leaned most of his weight onto her.
“Why are you so heavy?” Su Ying stumbled as she felt the pressure.
Fu Zheng smiled, a smirk playing on his lips. “I weigh sixty kilograms, of course I’m heavy…”
Su Ying, too lazy to argue with a drunkard, staggered all the way to where he needed to be, supporting him. Even so, Su Ying was drenched in sweat.
“The hot water is set for you. Wash up and go to bed yourself,” Su Ying yawned and turned to leave.
But Fu Zheng embraced her from behind. “Yingying… Sister…”
“What…” Su Ying felt a jolt from being called that, completely unable to move her feet.
This man was too good at acting spoiled!
When he was drunk, he was completely different from his usual self!
At work, he was serious, patient, meticulous, and possessed a composure rarely seen in his peers. But now, he was like a child, especially clingy, calling her sister at every turn.
She really couldn’t bear to leave him alone.
“Sister, help me…” Fu Zheng’s breath tickled her ear, making her blush uncontrollably.
He seemed to be pleading, yet also seducing, his deep voice slightly hoarse, making him sound incredibly alluring.
Su Ying found herself unable to cope with this side of him.
The shower, at some point, began to spray hot water, and Su Ying, caught in his passionate kisses, half-heartedly yielded, forgetting her original intention. Fortunately, she wasn’t one to be overly coy; lovemaking was a matter of mutual consent. With the atmosphere reaching this point, the rest was left to instinct.
That night, Fu Zheng was exceptionally passionate and energetic. Although the beginning was a little clumsy, they gradually found their rhythm, reaching the peak of pleasure together.
Before falling asleep, Su Ying secretly regretted having provoked him.
Young men’s boundless energy wasn’t always a good thing.
Her waist couldn’t handle it!
