Chapter 387: Birthday Party
Su Wanxin sat on the bed, looking down at her phone.
The screen displayed her chat with Fu Shihan. She wanted to say something, but she didn’t know where to start.
As she typed and then deleted her words repeatedly, suddenly a message came from the other side.
[H: You started such a big topic today, no reaction?]
He was waiting for her to call him, but it seemed she was about to fall asleep without any response.
If it wasn’t for opening WeChat and seeing her nickname repeatedly change to [The other party is typing], he would have thought she didn’t know about the matter.
Su Wanxin struggled for nearly ten minutes, while Fu Shihan patiently waited for ten minutes. Eventually, unable to wait any longer, he took the initiative to break the ice.
Upon seeing the message, Su Wanxin bit her lower lip and replied.
[Su Xiaopian: Why would you choose that kind of occasion to say it?]
[H: The journalist asked, it would be disrespectful not to answer.]
His words sounded as if he was usually such a gentleman.
In fact, Fu Shihan knew that the day he put on that ring, someone would eventually ask him about it. But things happened so quickly, he was still a bit surprised.
[Su Xiaopian: You didn’t want to say it, no one could’ve forced you.]
[H: It’s not something scandalous, why wouldn’t I talk about it? By the way, it also helps to test the family’s bottom line.]
Others might not know who the other ring belongs to, but the Fu Family was crystal clear.
Fu Shihan wanted to see how much his family could tolerate his antics.
Upon reading this message, the light in Su Wanxin’s eyes gradually dimmed.
His family...
They would probably approach her very soon.
She and Fu Shiyi had agreed to meet tomorrow, and perhaps during the meeting, she might be warned and mocked.
What should she say if Shiyi asked her to stay away from Shihan?
While thinking, Su Wanxin sighed bittersweetly.
She and Fu Shiyi used to tell each other everything. But now, she was worried about having to talk to him, to the point she couldn’t even sleep.
It’s a joke, she, Su Wanxin, was afraid to talk to her best friend.
To say this would not only make her the subject of ridicule by others but even she found it laughable.
Anxiously, Su Wanxin stayed up until after midnight, only falling asleep around 2 a.m. After a busy day at work, she left the office promptly at 3 p.m., heading to the address previously sent by Fu Shiyi.
Fu Shiyi mentioned that it was her friend’s birthday party today, and the location was in a certain villa area, a private residence.
They had arranged to meet at the venue at 4:30 p.m., but Su Wanxin arrived at 4 p.m., while Fu Shiyi was still stuck in traffic...
A car accident had occurred on the elevated highway, causing severe congestion.
Irritated, Fu Shiyi looked at the red lines on the navigation map, slammed her hand on the steering wheel, and picked up her phone to call Su Wanxin.
She explained her situation, asking Su Wanxin to wait for her at the entrance.
Su Wanxin gently agreed, telling her not to rush, to drive slowly, and to be careful on the road before hanging up, then quietly leaned against the wall waiting.
Su Wanxin didn’t know how long she had been waiting, but the longer she waited, the stranger she felt. Because everyone coming to the party was dressed... a bit oddly.
It wasn’t the non-mainstream eccentric clothing, but something resembling cosplay.
When she saw people even dressed up as Black and White Impermanence, and to make sure others could recognize them, their hats even specifically had "I am Black Impermanence" and "I am White Impermanence" written on them, she was both amused and dismayed.
What kind of party was this?
Stunned, a possibility popped into her mind, instantly filling her with dread.
"A themed party... a horrific one?"
