Chapter 371 Don't bother anymore
"Hello!"
Fu Yiru got out of the car and greeted Li Juan and Li Ying with a smile.
She felt somewhat guilty. After all, there was an inseparable bond between her and these two "sisters".
If Li Kaijian discovered something, then Fu Yiruo would not have to worry about anything. But if the mother and her two daughters knew the truth, then she would really not know what to do.
Fu Yiru felt that Fu Guiru was not wrong, but Han Chunmei was not wrong either!
However, Li Juan and Li Ying didn't notice anything unusual about Fu Yiru at all, or rather, they didn't care about her as a "little foreign guest" at all.
"Brother, where are your luggage? I'll help you carry it in."
"Sister, are you tired of driving? Let me help you get it."
Fu Yiru felt very uncomfortable watching the two little sisters scrambling to help Li Ye and Li Yue carry their luggage.
Is this a form of flattery under someone else's roof?
When Fu Yiru was young, my mother had no status in Fu's Company. The anxiety of living in disgrace is still fresh in my memory.
Looking at Li Juan and Li Ying in front of her, Fu Yiru felt that they were a bit like herself back then, but not completely alike.
At least when facing her brother Li Ye, the smiles on Li Juan and Li Ying's faces made Fu Yiru feel their sincerity from the bottom of their hearts.
They are not afraid of Li Ye. They like Li Ye very much, just like they like Li Ye as their brother.
After entering the Li family, Fu Yiru met his grandfather and Han Chunmei.
Grandpa was not as shrewd as Li Ye said. Instead, he was very kind. He smiled and asked her to sit down in the main room. He asked some irrelevant questions such as "How old are you this year? How is your study?"
On the contrary, none of the answers that Fu Yiru had carefully prepared were used, which made Fu Yiru relax unconsciously and smile more naturally.
Blood ties are a very strange thing, and have a special attraction like a magnet.
Fu Yiruo, who had relaxed, even cleverly helped Li Ye to fool him: "After Sister Li Yue and I met in Pengcheng, we found that we looked quite similar. We both thought it was fate, so we went to Beijing together."
But Li Ye, who was following behind, sighed inwardly and no longer had the intention to continue fooling around.
The problem is that Li Zhongfa didn't ask any important questions!
As for Han Chunmei, like her two younger sisters, she had no idea of Fu Yiru's "specialness" at all.
Fu Yiruo does have some similarities with Li Yue, but Han Chunmei would never think about it that way and would not notice anything unusual.
Only people like Li Kaijian and Li Zhongfa, who have something to hide, would associate Fu Yiru's appearance and her overseas Chinese identity with Fu Guiru.
During the meal, the family sat around a large round table, laughing and talking happily, and there was no disharmony at all.
Fu Yiruo held the rice that was specially steamed for her, but her nose felt sore and she almost cried.
She has been very sensible since she was a child. She depends on her mother Fu Guiru in Malaysia. Although she is surrounded by many relatives such as uncles, aunts, and uncles.
But a cheerful atmosphere like today's is rare.
When she was a child, Fu Yiru could always feel obvious disgust and contempt in the eyes of her relatives.
When she grew up a little, her mother took power in the Fu Company, and in addition to her dislike and contempt, she began to feel disgust and wariness towards her.
This made Fu Yiru understand the meaning of the word "intrigue" very early on. In other words, Fu Guiru was capable enough and had a strong hand, otherwise she and her mother would not have been able to gain a foothold in Johor and would have been driven out by her great uncle's family long ago.
Now look at the warm atmosphere in the Li family. This is the life a family should live!
Seeing Fu Yiru's red eyes, Li Zhongfa's heart sank.
But before he could say anything, Han Chunmei asked apologetically, "Miss Yi, is the rice not cooked enough? The fire was a little too strong today. How about I steam it for you again?"
"No, no," Fu Yiruo hurriedly shook her head and said, "This steamed rice is really good, but I...I actually like to eat steamed buns."
"Do you like steamed buns? Sorry, sorry, I'll change one for you."
While Han Chunmei was hurriedly apologizing, her sister Li Ying had already quickly taken out a steamed bun and handed it to Fu Yiru.
The handmade steamed buns in Dongshan are relatively large, each one is as big as a bowl.
So Fu Yiruo said embarrassedly: "I can't eat one, half of it is enough."
Li Ying said with a smile: "How can half of it be enough? I ate one! You are a few years older than me."
Li Ye whispered, "You can leave some if you can't finish it."
Fu Yiru then took the steamed bun, broke it into two pieces, and started eating it with a smacking sound.
When she was young, her mother Fu Guiru often steamed buns in Malaysia. It was said that the buns had the "taste of home".
But later, Fu Guiru became busier and busier, and she didn't have much time to make dough and steam buns.
Seeing that Fu Yiru was eating with great relish, the atmosphere at the table became more harmonious, and everyone was laughing and having a great time.
After dinner, Wu Juying asked Li Yue to clean up the room and let Fu Yiru sleep in the same room with Li Yue tonight. Li Yue looked at Li Ye, but didn't get any response, so she could only let it go.
After everyone left, only Li Ye and Li Zhongfa were left in the main room.
Li Zhongfa poured a cup of tea for Li Ye and looked at him calmly for a long while, gathering enough pressure and momentum.
"Xiao Ye, that Yiruo, is she just an overseas Chinese you happened to run into?"
Li Ye nodded and said, "It was indeed a coincidence, but it has something to do with our family."
Li Zhongfa's eyes narrowed, and he asked in a deep voice, "She is from Malaysia? Her surname is Fu?"
Li Ye said: "Yes, the one from Malaysia is named Fu."
"That's my guess, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence?"
Li Zhongfa closed his eyes and exhaled, then asked worriedly, "Did she ask about your mother?"
Li Ye shook his head: "She didn't ask, but she asked a lot of questions about you and my father."
“.”
"She asked me what to do?" Li Zhongfa was puzzled for a few seconds, and then asked, "Did you meet your aunt in Pengcheng?"
Li Ye shook his head: "No."
Li Zhongfa nodded: "Then she is your uncle's child?"
Li Ye swallowed his saliva and slowly told the truth: "Neither, she should be my father's child."
“Dangdang~”
Strong winds and waves came, and Li Zhongfa, who didn't care about life and death, dropped the teapot to the ground in panic.
Then Li Zhongfa jumped to the window nimbly, looked carefully into Li Kaijian's room, and then walked back quickly.
"Xiao Ye, what were you talking about?"
Li Ye sighed and said, "Last time I went to Lijiapo to participate in a college debate, and then my mother brought Yiruo to Lijiapo to find me.
Later, she contacted my sister, and after the phone call, both of them cried, so we had to go to Pengcheng to meet."
Li Zhongfa was so engrossed in the listening, as if he was listening to a storytelling.
After Li Ye finished speaking, he angrily asked, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Li Ye snorted and said with a smile: "Grandpa, it's not too late for you to know now! It's such a big matter, I just can't make up my mind, it's just right for you to make the decision."
“.”
Li Zhong stared at Li Ye in a daze, and suddenly felt as if he had been trapped.
Then he became even more angry and asked, "Since you have been hiding it all along, why are you telling me now? And you want me to make the decision?"
Li Ye said innocently: "I wanted to keep it a secret for a while, but you found out today. You are the only one in our family who can handle this matter. Only you, Grandpa, have the qualifications and the ability to do so."
Li Zhongfa closed his eyes, took a deep breath in annoyance, and then slowly calmed down.
Indeed, he is the most qualified to solve this matter.
Even though Li Ye is very capable, that is only his ability to make money. When it comes to household affairs, he, Li Zhongfa, is the head of the family.
When Li Zhongfa opened his eyes again, he had completely calmed down.
He asked Li Ye very frankly: "Do you think it's more appropriate to keep it a secret now?"
Li Ye nodded slowly and said, "At least we can't be too hasty, because my mother didn't show any intention of coming back. This time it was Xiao Ruo who insisted on seeing my father, and my mother repeatedly warned us not to disturb you."
Li Ye had no intention of making Fu Yiru "return to her ancestral roots" and change her surname to Li.
Because now Fu Yiru is the one who depends on Fu Guiru for everything. Under such a complicated family situation, who can predict what the future will be like?
Li Zhongfa fell into deep thought, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, making a "dong dong dong" sound.
When the sound stopped, he asked Li Ye concisely: "How long do you think it is appropriate to keep it a secret?"
Li Ye looked out the window and sighed, "I would like to wait until my two sisters go to college and grow up, but I'm afraid my father will have wild thoughts."
The younger sister Li Juan is going to take the college entrance exam next year, and it’s still too early for the younger one, so Li Ye is not sure if he can keep it a secret for that long.
The two younger sisters are Han Chunmei's support. As long as they are successful, Han Chunmei will have the confidence to withstand any changes in the future.
Li Zhongfa immediately made the decision: "I will take care of your father, and you will take care of your mother."
Li Ye nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll leave it to you, Grandpa."
Li Ye thinks that Fu Guiru's problem is easy to solve, but Li Kaijian's problem is very troublesome.
But he simply didn't understand the way fathers and sons communicated these days.
After Li Ye went out, Li Kaijian, who had been holding it in for a long time, slipped into the main house.
Li Zhongfa scolded him as soon as they met: "What are you guessing? I have been thinking about it for a long time.
They have nothing to do with our family. Are you dreaming because you have so much money to burn these days? "
Li Kaijian felt uncomfortable after being scolded, and could only whisper to defend himself: "I just think it's strange, that Yiruo looks like she was when she was young..."
"When you were young?"
Li Zhongfa shouted in a deep voice, "What's the matter? Do you dislike your wife for being old? How about I marry you another older girl? Our family is rich now, we don't mind spending 30,000 or 20,000 yuan, you can pick any girl you want in the whole town."
"Dad, what did you say? I am a member of the D team, how can I do such a heartless thing?"
Li Kaijian ran away in panic.
But after returning to the house, Li Kaijian smiled cheerfully.
"That's good. Don't bother with it anymore. Don't bother the children anymore."
