Addiction sets in at night; even the abstinent older man has fallen for it.

Jiang Hui and Xia Guiying also looked over at the same time.

Jiang Hui's eyes were full of appreciation and satisfaction.

Fortunately, Ah Shen arrived in time!

Otherwise, she'll be really worried to death.

Xia Guiying had never seen Jiang Hui smile so happily before.

Although we had chatted and laughed together before, we were both somewhat reserved.

The smile you're giving now is genuine.

This is enough to show how much Jiang Hui likes and trusts Fu Zhengting.

When Jiang Hui chatted with her, she intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the despair she felt when she was sick and had nowhere else to turn, and subtly thanked Fu Zhengting.

Her gaze fell on Fu Zhengting's face again.

Putting aside all the complicated factors, Fu Zhengting's courage and directness in coming to the wedding won her favor.

She should try to put aside her prejudices and re-evaluate Fu Zhengting.

All eyes were on Fu Zhengting's face—some were gossipy, some were watching the drama unfold, and some were admiring.

Fu Zhengting remained completely unaffected by these differing gazes.

From the moment he entered the Qin family, his gaze was fixed solely on Mu Tiantian's face.

His steps were as firm as he was.

He walked bravely and openly toward Mu Tiantian.

As he walked, the scenes from when he first met Mu Tiantian replayed in his mind.

From meeting and getting to know each other to falling in love, we've unknowingly experienced so much along the way.

Sweetie didn't give up on him, so how could he give up on Sweetie?

Qin Dongyang was the only one who was unhappy; his face was gloomy and unpleasant.

He wanted to call bodyguards, but the wedding was being held in such a rush that there were no bodyguards available.

The butler was too old and no match for Fu Zhengting.

He kept a straight face and didn't rush to speak, wanting to see what Fu Zhengting was going to do.

The event planner saw that Qin Dongyang didn't say anything to stop him, but she could tell that Fu Zhengting was there to cause trouble.

She felt that this was the last step, and she had to complete it no matter what.

She raised her voice and repeated the question, "Bride, whether rich or poor..."

When asked if he was willing at the end, Fu Zhengting interrupted sharply, "I disagree!"

A deep voice rang out in the room, reaching everyone's ears.

Because he had rushed there, his breathing was rapid, and his eyes were so firm that no one could doubt his determination.

Qin Dongyang bypassed Director Luo, walked up to Fu Zhengting, stood between them to prevent him from seeing Mu Tiantian, and asked sarcastically, "What right do you have to disagree?"

"I am worthy, because I love her!" Fu Zhengting bravely met Qin Dongyang's troubled gaze.

Qin Dongyang was deeply moved by Fu Zhengting's words, "I love her."

He stared intently into Fu Zhengting's eyes, trying to discern a trace of hypocrisy within them.

But no!

It is filled with sincerity.

Because of Fu Zhenlong, he subconsciously thought that Fu Zhengting was no better.

But now, looking back on Fu Zhengting when he was a child, the reason why he liked Fu Zhengting more than Ling Jieyu was because he felt that Fu Zhengting was an upright and good kid.

He personally witnessed Fu Zhengting chase away several troubled teenagers who were bullying an elderly sanitation worker.

This incident alone shows that Fu Zhengting is a kind-hearted person.

Even if they're not a good person, they won't be that bad.

If he hadn't later fallen out with Fu Zhenlong, he really liked Fu Zhengting and would have loved to have a son-in-law like him.

A kind-hearted person would never do anything to hurt others.

But everyone has two sides, and there are dark sides that are unknown to others.

Human nature is complex.

He may be a good person in some ways, but not in others.

There was once a monk in Qingyou Temple who was even more beloved than the monk Wukong, but it was later discovered that he was involved in a murder case more than ten years ago.

The police eventually confirmed that the other party was the murderer of the family massacre years ago.

There was also a Buddhist who appeared to be a devout believer, a kind and benevolent person, but one day he was exposed and reported for illegally amassing wealth and committing fraud, amounting to as much as 500 million yuan.

No matter how good Fu Zhengting is, he still has Fu Zhenlong's blood flowing through his veins. After those unpleasant things happened and he had a knot in his heart, how could he possibly accept Fu Zhengting becoming his son-in-law?

He retorted, "You are Fu Zhenlong's son, you have no right to love my daughter!"

He didn't want to talk about this complicated past; it was disgusting and exhausting to even think about it. He directly ordered him to leave, "Considering you saved my daughter from the fire, I won't pursue the matter of you ruining the wedding. Now, get out of the Qin family..."

"I can't leave. I rushed here to be with Tian Tian. If I leave now, what kind of man am I?" Fu Zhengting remained open and composed, neither humble nor arrogant.

Actually, he was also exhausted; the grudges and conflicts between his parents' generation were impossible to explain.

But no matter what, he would do his best to fight for it.

He patiently tried to explain to Qin Dongyang on the spot about the scandal being spread back then, "Uncle Qin, please calm down and listen to me. Back then..."

Qin Dongyang raised his hand, impatient to listen any longer, and interrupted sharply, "You don't need to defend your father, I won't listen to a single word."

Fu Zhengting frowned slightly and did not continue.

Arguing is really useless.

The only way to convince Qin Dongyang is to trick Yang Guanghui into revealing the truth so that he can hear it with his own ears.

It's a pity we were only three days short.

Winter Solstice is just three days away.

Qin Dongyang wanted to yell at Fu Zhengting to get lost, but when he glanced at the wine bottles on the food table, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind.

He wanted to test whether Fu Zhengting's commitment to his daughter was truly as strong as it seemed.

Fu Zhengting scrutinized Fu Zhenlong, and seeing that he didn't immediately send him away, he asked tentatively, "What do you want me to do for you to agree to let your daughter be with me? Tell me."

Qin Dongyang chuckled and scrutinized Fu Zhengting. "Whatever I ask you to do, you're willing to do it?"

Fu Zhengting nodded solemnly without much hesitation.

Mu Tiantian and Jiang Hui looked at Qin Dongyang and Fu Zhengting, and couldn't help but worry about Fu Zhengting.

Xia Guiying was also somewhat worried, and she was also very curious about how Qin Dongyang was going to make things difficult for Fu Zhengting.

Ling Jieyu felt uncomfortable standing there, so he crossed his arms and glanced at Fu Zhengting with interest.

I don't know why, but I have a lot of confidence in Fu Zhengting.

I had a feeling that Fu Zhengting would eventually be able to take the person away successfully.

Even if Fu Zhengting took away his nominal 'wife', he wouldn't be angry.

On the contrary, I hope Fu Zhengting will succeed.

His intuition told him that the chances of success were high.

Ling's parents looked at Fu Zhengting and silently sighed in their hearts.

It's been so many years since I've seen Fu Zhengting.

Because of business competition, and because Fu Zhenlong had previously betrayed Qin Dongyang,

Both of them also had prejudices against Fu Zhengting.

Old Master Qin had the butler help him to Xia Guiying's side, and asked in a low voice with a puzzled look, "Aying, what exactly is going on?"

Xia Guiying sighed wearily, because she hadn't told her father-in-law before, and now it was difficult to explain clearly.

She supported Grandpa Qin and comforted him, "Dad, I'll tell you slowly later."

Old Master Qin had no choice but to suppress his curiosity and observe the situation first.

Fu Zhengting just wanted to leave with the people as soon as possible. Forcibly taking them away would only make things worse for both sides, and he was outnumbered. He wanted to resolve the matter peacefully if possible.

He asked Qin Dongyang, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
