Chapter 16 Fu Juechuan reveals his identity to Qiao Qiao
"Zhong Wen?" Commander Ye suddenly remembered this man. He turned around and took out a newspaper from a stack on the bookshelf. On the front page of the newspaper, there was an interview content.
"World Shipping King Zhong Wen invested 10 million US dollars to donate the 'Wenchuan Tourist Hotel' in the capital, and was personally received by the leaders of the **"
Commander Ye's pupils shrank slightly. The four big words "1982" were written on the page.
In recent years, many foreign investors have invested in China, but those who are as generous as Zhong Wen are still a minority.
"Zhong Wen is actually your uncle?" Commander Ye said in surprise. He then stared at Fu Juechuan and saw that he was wearing a simple military uniform and an old watch. Apart from that, he did not have any other luxury items. Although he was low-key, it could not hide his strong and broad body.
The unique aura is also conspicuous in the army.
However, I didn’t expect that this guy would be involved with Hong Kong businessmen.
Commander Ye felt like he had found a treasure, but then he became a little worried. "Your family is so good. Although my Qiao Qiao is not bad, she is not as rich as yours. Are you sure you will not regret marrying Qiao Qiao?"
"Uncle, you misunderstood. Although Zhong Wen is my uncle, I am me and he is him."
"I told you this news to prove that the money in my hand was indeed left to my daughter-in-law by my mother and is not of unknown origin. I will not do anything illegal, please rest assured." Fu Juechuan said in a serious tone, and he had no intention of taking advantage of his uncle.
"Besides, my uncle's business has not been smooth sailing in the past two years. They encountered a crisis some time ago and closed an ocean shipping company."
Fu Juechuan's calm eyes were always paying attention to Commander Ye's reaction. He was not as calm as he appeared to be, he was also afraid.
When Commander Ye heard this, he felt relieved. The Zhong family was in a crisis and was no longer out of reach. Instead, it brought the two families closer in financial situation.
His status in the country was not low, but his family was indeed poor.
"Is that so? Then I'm relieved." After Commander Ye finished speaking, he realized that there was ambiguity and quickly added, "The domestic environment is not as open as Hong Kong City. I just want you and Qiao Qiao to live a good life."
"As long as there's enough money to spend."
"Uncle, I understand." Fu Juechuan lowered his eyes and responded. He slowly loosened his clenched fists at his side after getting the confirmed news.
"Okay then, I won't keep you any longer. Qiao Qiao must want to talk to you outside." Commander Ye was also happy for the two of them to develop a relationship. After all, it wouldn't be long before Fu Juechuan would be transferred to another unit for training, so it would be better for the two engaged couples to see each other more often.
Fu Juechuan felt a heat in his chest under the care of Commander Ye, but he felt uncomfortable when he thought about the fact that he had concealed his identity.
Before he left, he whispered, "Uncle, no matter what happens, I will treat Qiao Qiao well."
"Well, I believe you." Commander Ye didn't hear his apology and waved his hand with a smile.
Fu Juechuan gave him a deep military salute before turning and walking out of the study.
downstairs.
When Fu Juechuan went downstairs, Ye Qiaoqiao was the only one left by the sofa. Xie Lin and Gu Jin had already left to settle their personal matters.
Hearing the orderly footsteps, Ye Qiaoqiao recognized them instantly, looked up, and greeted with a smile, "Brother Fu, has my father finished talking to you?"
"Yeah." Fu Juechuan looked at her with a calm expression and walked down.
Ye Qiaoqiao quietly paid attention to his expression, trying to observe his mood. She didn't know what her father said, but when she saw that Fu Juechuan didn't seem unhappy, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Qiaoqiao waited for him to sit down, then quickly stood up and poured him a cup of hot tea.
Fu Juechuan stood up as well when he saw her move, but he was a step slower than her. When Ye Qiaoqiao raised her head and handed him the tea, he sat back down without leaving a trace.
"Brother Fu, have some tea."
"Hmm." Fu Juechuan's fingertips were numbed by the heat, but he seemed to feel nothing and drank it in one gulp. The scalding hot tea hurt his throat before he suddenly came to his senses.
"Brother Fu, um, my father didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"
"You gave too much as a betrothal gift. My father will definitely be curious and ask." Ye Qiaoqiao was nervously thinking about the betrothal gift and whether Fu Juechuan's identity would be exposed, and did not notice his action of taking a sip of hot tea.
"I am very grateful that you gave me face and sent such a large gift, but money is not easy to make, so I can't accept it." Ye Qiaoqiao handed him the passbook.
Even though she knew Fu Juechuan's true background, Ye Qiaoqiao didn't think he should give her so much dowry just because he was rich.
It's other people's business if they have money. It would be greedy for her to accept it. Besides, she hasn't married Fu Juechuan yet, so they are not a real family yet.
Fu Juechuan stared at the passbook so close to him and said in a low voice, "Because it's from me, you don't want to accept it?"
"Ah?" Ye Qiaoqiao felt it was a little strange after hearing this. What did she mean by not accepting it because it was given by Brother Fu... Did Brother Fu think that she had something against him?
"Brother Fu, you misunderstood. I just felt that we haven't gotten married yet, so I can't accept this money. Besides, you gave me too much, and I'm afraid it won't be enough for you." Ye Qiaoqiao looked at him sincerely and explained.
There was nervousness in his eyes, as if he was afraid that Fu Juechuan wouldn't believe him.
Fu Juechuan noticed this and his eyes softened. "It's okay. This money was indeed left by my mother to my daughter-in-law. Qiao Qiao, just accept it. You can only return it to me if you don't want to marry me."
Ye Qiaoqiao had no choice but to accept it.
After just half a month of getting along, she didn't need to give examples to prove that Fu Juechuan's character was obviously much better than most people. With such a good partner, even if there was no love between them, he would not be bullied after marriage.
She will naturally cherish it.
"...Brother Fu, I'll take it. If you need money, just ask me for it." Ye Qiaoqiao said with a smile, "I'm not short of money. I also have the money my mother left me."
Fu Juechuan looked at her smile and suddenly said, "Qiao Qiao, I have something to hide from you."
"What's the matter?" Ye Qiaoqiao was still carefully putting away the passbook with an unchanged smile on her face.
Fu Juechuan didn't want to break her joy, but... he didn't know what he was thinking, he resolutely said, "Qiao Qiao, I actually concealed my life experience and didn't tell my uncle, but I didn't want to deceive you."
If they even deceived Qiao Qiao, could they still be a family?
Fu Juechuan tensed up, not wanting to look at Ye Qiaoqiao's expression. He lowered his eyes and stated the facts resolutely, "Actually, my father is Fu Min'an, the chief of the Capital Military Region. His military rank is a little higher than my uncle's. I am the eldest son born to his first wife. I also have a sixteen-year-old brother and a fourteen-year-old sister born to my father's second wife."
