Oh right, we're about to set off for the mainland.
Nie Jiajun also mentioned something else: "When Guo Fuzheng heard that we were going to the mainland, he called us several times, saying he wanted to host us, but I had seen the news from the mainland and his uncle was a criminal, so I refused."
Speaking of this, Chen Rou has to sigh and say that being an official these days is really great.
Even if you commit a crime and go to jail, your family members can still get away with it.
Just like Guo Fuzheng and his father Guo Xiaobai, they made a fortune by relying on their relatives in mainland China and were good at socializing. Now they have transformed themselves and entered the circle of the rich in Hong Kong.
However, once the bow was drawn, another steel arrow hit the bullseye. Chen Rou smiled coldly. As long as the female prosecutor found out about the Guo brothers' financial problems, Guo Fuzheng's good days would probably be over.
It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone, let alone Nie Han, who had only hurt her calf. Although she had almost recovered, the doctor still advised her to rest as much as possible. Even though Nie Zhao advised her not to go, Nie Han insisted on going to the mainland even in a wheelchair.
Who would have thought that Song Yuanchao would leave without even saying goodbye to her?
And it's been two whole months already!
In these two months, he should have already completed major life events such as engagement and marriage, right?
Nie Han estimated that it was probably about right. Maybe his wife and baby were already pregnant. There was no point in her going to find him, since he didn't even say goodbye when he left.
If she had any self-respect, Nie Han should have tossed her hair and made the next one even more obedient.
That's what she thought in her heart, but she couldn't do it.
Since no one supported her, she made her own plans. She had heard Song Yuanchao mention that his hometown was in a place called Yuhang, so she decided to go there to take a look.
But she searched the map but couldn't find a place called Yuhang. Seeing Chen Rou come home, she followed her into the bedroom and waited patiently for Chen Rou to come out before saying, "Xi Niang, Song Zai has probably been lying to us all along."
Chen Rou listened to her explanation in a general way and was quite confused, because Song Yuanchao couldn't possibly say his exact home address, but he kept saying that he was from the Central Plains, which is Henan, and Henan is abbreviated as Yu, so he was a Yu person.
But Hang is Hangzhou, and he has a Chiang Kai-shek-style accent and curses all the time, so he should live in the Zhejiang area. But Henan and Zhejiang are not related, so where exactly is his home?
However, they will not go to either Zhejiang or Henan this time.
Moreover, Song Yuanchao was delayed in returning because he was ultimately retained by the special police team. As a newly established department and an overseas posting, he needed to undergo comprehensive training before he could return to his post.
But Chen Rou couldn't tell Nie Han, so she could only say, "He told your uncle that he would come back sooner or later. Ask him when the time comes. Why are you in such a hurry? The mainland is so big, you can't find his hometown."
Nie Han was in the throes of first love and said with a smile, "What if I go and happen to run into him?"
She pursed her lips and said, "He should already be married. Maybe we'll even run into his wife. We can take a look and see what kind of wife he found, and whether she's pretty or not."
To go to a strange place, among millions of people, to explore a possibility—this is something that only a true romantic and heart-wrenching person could imagine.
However, Chen Rou didn't know if Song Yuanchao would get married during this trip home, or if he would be like Chen Ke and Wang Baodao, going home to have a child, and then returning a few years later to find that the child was already old enough to run errands.
All she could say was, "He'll be back sooner or later. Just ask him when he comes."
Undoubtedly, Chen Rou is a very good elder. Anyone would feel a great sense of security following her.
But she wasn't the kind of woman who would offer emotional support and advice. Although Nie Han had a few good friends and had even talked to them about her bodyguard, everyone advised her to give up.
The saying "love conquers all" is just something writers made up to deceive people.
It's unrealistic for a rich young lady like her to marry a poor guy, let alone another wealthy young man from a similarly affluent family.
Nie Han felt that Xi Niang was probably just making excuses for her based on her uncle's words. Instead of being comforted, she was actually quite upset. Just as she was about to pester Chen Rou again, a cough came from behind her, followed by her uncle's voice: "How are you feeling today?"
Four months have passed, and Chen Rou's lower abdomen is starting to swell slightly.
She wasn't in her late pregnancy yet, and she didn't feel any discomfort; on the contrary, she found it quite amazing.
She pressed down her pajamas and said, "My belly seems to have bulged quite a bit."
Seeing Nie Han pursing her lips and lowering her head, she felt sorry for her and asked Nie Zhao on her behalf, "Where is Song Zi? He went home to visit his family. When will he be back?"
Nie Han, relying on his master's power, couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Uncle, you wouldn't be abandoning Song Zai, would you?"
There are only two women in the family, and they're always talking about Song Zi this and Song Zi that.
If he were to have another baby girl, who would call him "godfather" every day, Nie Zhao was afraid he would have a heart attack.
It wasn't that he didn't want Song Yuanchao to come back, but with Maozi Ge and Sam around, and with that old guy Yu Heng constantly watching them, and his wife about to give birth, none of them were as reliable as Song Yuanchao.
However, one problem was the passing of his elders, and another was the need for a probationary period and training period before starting work at his new company. Boss Nie had been urging the old leader to accept the offer, and even turned down a young man named Ma Yang, who was recommended by the old leader. Ma Yang was said to have helped Chen Rou and Song Yuanchao capture Gui Tou Chang and had made great contributions. He didn't even accept the offer.
