Fu Yin's lips curved into a smile.
This time, without Fu Yan or Lin Yin, Meng Shuo Jing's betrothed could only be the sole daughter of the Fu family—Fu Yin.
Fu Yin, carrying her gift, slowly walked towards the two people over there.
"Happy birthday, classmate Xie!"
She handed over the gift in her hand.
"Thank you, who are you? Are you from the Fu family?" Xie Xue Xi guessed, looking at the somewhat unfamiliar girl in front of her.
"Yes, I am Fu Yin from the Fu family. I didn't expect classmate Xie to know me." Fu Yin said happily, but her eyes uncontrollably drifted towards Meng Shuo Jing over there.
"You're a guest I invited!" Xie Xue Xi took the gift and then asked Fu Yin to sit for a while. After all, she still had many guests to receive.
Seeing that Xie Xue Xi had another guest, Meng Shuo Jing consciously went to talk to people he knew.
When Fu Yin saw him leave, she didn't stay long either. After all, she wasn't very familiar with Xie Xue Xi, and it would be annoying to approach her rashly. So even if she wanted to please someone, she had to have a sense of proportion.
At the banquet, Fu Yin didn't find an opportunity to talk to Meng Shuo Jing, but she made many friends. Many were from families similar to hers, and some were from families that, while not as deeply rooted as the Fu family, had good future development.
However, her relationship with the hostess Xie Xue Xi only extended to a few words, and nothing more.
But she was still very satisfied. After all, she had met the person she longed for in her previous life and had already decided to pursue him, make him her fiancé, and make him only see her.
She believed that if Fu Yan could do it, she, Fu Yin, could too!
"Cousin, you saw that person, right!" Xie Xue Xi asked her cousin after the banquet.
"Mmm!" Meng Shuo Jing just nodded. He didn't say anything.
"I don't know why you wanted to see that person. Wasn't it because of her that Fu Yan was kicked out? And I don't like the way she looks at you. Although she hides it well, her eyes are full of possessiveness when she looks at you!"
Xie Xue Xi's tone was full of resentment. Although she was not old, she had seen a lot.
Just like that Fu Yin. She thought she was hiding it well, but her intentions were almost written on her face, so clear that anyone could see through her at a glance.
"Xi Xi, I just want to see what kind of person made her give up everything from the Fu family," Meng Shuo Jing said.
"Actually, she didn't have to give up things from the Fu family. With me here, the Fu family wouldn't dare to drive her away."
"This also shows that Fu Yan is truly someone who doesn't covet wealth and status! To give up such a large fortune so easily, without any lingering attachment. She doesn't even have any lingering attachment to you, cousin."
Xie Xue Xi teased her cousin.
"Why should she have any lingering attachment to me? I just wanted to repay her kindness," Meng Shuo Jing said. He wasn't a pedophile; how could he like a ten-year-old child?
He had almost been kidnapped. Fu Yan, who was playing outside, noticed something was wrong and called her bodyguards to rescue him.
From then on, he paid more attention to this girl and thought about taking better care of her. But he never expected that she was not the biological daughter of the Fu family couple, but had been swapped at birth.
When this news spread, many people found it hard to believe that such a dramatic event could happen in this world.
However, later the Fu family welcomed another girl, and Fu Yan thus disappeared from the social circle of the capital. It was then that people realized that this matter was indeed true.
Meng Shuo Jing originally intended to find Fu Yan and ask if she needed his help, but she left just like that and changed all her contact information. He couldn't find her at all.
That's why he asked his cousin to invite the true daughter of the Fu family to her birthday party. He wanted to see what kind of person had taken her place, and perhaps to get her contact information.
However, after meeting this true daughter of the Fu family, he lost the idea of getting her contact information from her. After all, this one truly did not hide her intentions at all.
How old was she? Fourteen? Fifteen? Not even graduated from junior high, and already thinking about young love. He didn't know what to say.
"A life-saving grace should be repaid with oneself! Cousin, I think Fu Yan is quite a good match for you. Although she might not have the Fu family's background, I always felt that the Fu family members were strange.
I was even curious why Fu Yan was so normal. It turns out she's not their biological daughter. Although this Fu Yin didn't grow up in the Fu family, her words and actions are so much like Madam Fu's!" Xie Xue Xi pouted with disdain.
Honestly, she really thought Fu Yan was a good shoot from a bad bamboo of the Fu family, but now that she knew she wasn't their biological daughter, it didn't feel strange at all.
However, she quite liked Fu Yan. She was hardworking, didn't talk much, and had a good heart. Such a person was rare in their circle.
"Stop messing around. How old are you? You don't need to worry about my affairs. Just take care of yourself!" Meng Shuo Jing patted Xie Xue Xi's head.
Seeing that he didn't retort, Xie Xue Xi felt that she might have hit the nail on the head. However, she didn't press further. If she annoyed him, it wouldn't be fun anymore.
When Fu Yin returned home, Madam Fu didn't ask about the outcome of the banquet. She only asked if it was lively and fun.
But Fu Yin understood what she wanted to ask, so she simply recounted what happened at the banquet. Madam Fu also understood that she was a bit too eager.
It was impossible to directly get acquainted with the Xie family after only one meeting. Everything had to be done slowly. Just getting an invitation from the Xie family was already very good; they couldn't be too demanding.
In the evening, Fu Yin returned to her bedroom and closed the door. She sat by the desk and, with a drawing pencil, meticulously sketched the person she had seen that day, stroke by stroke, while recalling him from her previous life.
Gradually, Meng Shuo Jing's face appeared on the sketchpad. The Meng Shuo Jing in the drawing was much older than the one who appeared today. Fu Yin still drew the one most deeply etched in her memory!
Looking at the person in the drawing, Fu Yin's eyes gradually revealed a determined resolve. Being able to relive her life was a gift from heaven, sent to let her make up for all her regrets.
She had already driven away Fu Yan and become Fu Yin. Then she would definitely be able to get the person who was completely out of reach in her previous life.
She believed that without Fu Yan's presence, he would definitely see her, definitely fall in love with her, and would only have eyes for her, just like he had for Fu Yan!
Gently stroking the face of the person in the drawing, Fu Yin revealed a faint smile.
"You will love me, won't you?"
