The Fu family home is massive, yet its interior is decorated with remarkable simplicity.
It even carries a rustic charm.
Yet beneath this understated decor lies a subtle complexity.
Lin Yang knows very well that a single piece of furniture or a single ornament here likely costs more than an ordinary working-class person could earn in a lifetime of labor.
Not to mention the priceless calligraphy and paintings by famous masters scattered about.
To be honest, this is the first time Lin Yang has truly felt the stark gap between wealth and poverty.
Yet he feels no sense of inferiority.
Long before he met Fu Hongli, he knew all about her family background.
What he loves is Fu Hongli herself, not her pedigree, which means nothing to him.
"You big meanie, do you want to come and see my room?" Fu Hongli asks with a playful pout.
"May I?"
"Of course you may."
Lin Yang smiles and says, "All right, then I gladly accept the invitation."
"Come on, I'll take you up," Fu Hongli says excitedly.
As they step into the elevator to go upstairs, Fu Hongli suddenly turns to Wei Qingshan in the living room and says, "Wei Qingshan, make yourself at home, but don't follow us."
Wei Qingshan smiles. "Don't worry, I know better than to be a nuisance."
"You'd better."
As the elevator doors slowly close, the smile vanishes entirely from Wei Qingshan's face.
His expression grows cold and dark.
