That night, Mother Fu returned from a banquet. She had been implicated because of Bai Yue's accident. She had heard many sarcastic words at the banquet, and her expression was extremely ugly.
"What is the Bai family trying to do? Even if they are shameless, the Fu family is not!"
Fu Heng listened to her nagging and repeatedly read the clarification and related reports from the War Department. He felt that it was strange.
Could it be that there was really a War Department leader backing Bai Jing?
It seemed that the way they wanted to force Bai Jing to hand over the formula and ingredient list was not feasible.
The medicine to treat lymphatic cancer would bring huge benefits. Fu Heng would not give up easily.
He narrowed his long and narrow eyes and thought of other ways with a sinister expression. After thinking for a long time, Fu Heng still wanted to use emotions to win Bai Jing back and control her.
As long as he could make Bai Jing realize how terrible her husband was and how outstanding himself was, she would definitely return to his side!
At that time, everything about Bai Jing would belong to him!
Fu Heng was blindly confident, but Bai Yue was also extremely stupid. He pretended to comfort her with a few words of love, and Bai Yue easily believed and forgave him. From her unguarded complaints, Fu Heng learned that Bai Jing was looking for a mutated orchid to do research on.
Mutated orchids, huh... ?
The next day, Fu Heng came to Logan's lab.
He saw Bai Jing's impatient expression and took out two invitation letters. He said, "Don't rush to chase me away. I know you're looking for mutated orchids, so I specially invite you and Logan to attend the orchid banquet. I hope it can make up for what I've done to you in the past..."
"There are many rare orchids at the banquet. Maybe there's something you need."
Fu Heng kept his distance, but Bai Jing didn't refuse. She put away the invitation and went into the lab. She stopped Si Qian and asked, "Are you free tomorrow night?"
"I have a party that I need to attend. What's up?" Si Qian was very interested in her invitation.
Bai Jing shook her head and left with the two invitations. She didn't want to change or disrupt Si Qian's plans, so she planned to attend the party alone.
That night, Bai Jing arrived at the hotel wearing a light blue qipao and casually tied her hair into a bun.
Outside this extremely luxurious hotel, there were reporters all around. Countless socialites from the upper class greeted the cameras. They were wearing expensive jewelry and high-end custom-made evening gowns. They treated the orchid banquet as a show and secretly compared themselves to each other!
Bai Jing came to the banquet hall in a low-key manner. She immediately leaned close to the glass box and looked at the various mutated orchids that were placed as decorations. She looked at them quietly.
"Yo! Isn't this the eldest daughter of the Bai Family?"
"I heard that you got married? Congratulations! I heard that your husband is a scientist. Why didn't he come with you?"
In the past, the socialites were jealous of Bai Jing's beauty and deliberately targeted her. Now, they directly blocked her way and seized the opportunity to mock her, "Why are you dressed like this for the dinner party? Can't afford a dress? Your life is so frugal. I have a few old ones at home. I'll give them to you to support the occasion, right?"
"A scientist. He must be very poor, right? Is he too embarrassed to come with you?" They covered their mouths and laughed.
Bai Jing did not have any reaction. She just pushed them away and looked for a variety of orchids that she could extract.
The socialites were a little disappointed. Just as they were about to leave, they saw Fu Heng walking towards her in a tuxedo. He took off his coat affectionately and draped it over Bai Jing's shoulder. He said, "The banquet hall is very cold. Don't catch a cold."
"Mind your own business." Bai Jing threw his coat on the ground and could not be bothered with him.
The orchid species in the banquet hall were not what she needed. Bai Jing did not want to waste time and turned to leave.
Fu Heng quickly grabbed her elbow and said, "Bai Jing, don't be angry with me anymore! I came here for you!"
"Didn't you hear what those women said? Logan is not worthy of you! He can't give you the life you want. Only I can give you this. I will help you find the mutated orchids and take care of Bai Chen with you, " Fu Heng said excitedly.
Bai Jing frowned and suppressed her anger.
Fu Heng didn't know how to restrain himself. He even slandered Logan and said, "Divorce him! I won't despise you!"
"Let go!"
Bai Jing slapped his hand away. Just as she was about to flare up, she saw Si Qian's tall figure appear from the crowd. He stood beside her and gently held her in his arms. His cold eyes stared at Fu Heng...
Bai Jing held onto Si Qian's arm affectionately and looked at Fu Heng."Let me introduce you. This is my husband. I've liked him for a long time..."
The Banquet Hall was silent!
Fu Heng looked at the two of them in shock and stammered, "D-Director Si?!"
