"After that incident, I wanted to break up, but he came running back to me with all kinds of apologies. Seeing that I wouldn't give in, his true colors came out again. One moment he said I was too conservative, the next he accused me of having a difficult temper.
Because I had always refused to live together, and our family traditions definitely forbade cohabitation before marriage, he said that compared to people from the Qing Dynasty, I was only missing a piece of foot binding. His foreign girlfriend even brought a long strip of cloth to humiliate me...
Listening to her chattering, Lin Yuyao became very angry.
How could Fu Yatong have ever suffered such injustice since she was a child?
She was only eighteen years old when she went abroad. She faced all these things alone and never said a word to her family. She endured it all by herself.
Who was that Hao family? They were all from South City. How dare he bully Fu Yatong like this?
This was because Fu Yatong was so proud of herself that she would not tell her family.
"Then why did you marry a foreigner?"
"He helped me teach a lesson to the person who humiliated me, and then suggested that I be with him as revenge against Hao Shaowei. I... I was ignorant at the time, and I agreed in a fit of rage."
Lin Yuyao was completely speechless.
This was the 1990s, how could there be a plot that would only appear in melodramatic dramas decades later?
"So the foreigners are bad?"
"Yeah, they're in the same group. He's the cousin of that foreign girl. They look down on Chinese people. How could they really want to marry me? They're just trying to trick me and steal my money."
Fu Yatong said gloomily, "Fortunately, I don't really want to get married. I'm just being angry."
"You didn't tell your family about such a big thing. What if something happens to you while you're abroad?"
"No, he's just an ordinary person. He can't do anything to me."
"My skin color and hair color are advantages abroad. Yatong..."
Lin Yuyao was filled with worry. "If you really don't want your family to know, that's fine. Why not tell Sister Le Yi? She has many partners overseas, so it would be much easier for her to arrange for someone to take charge."
Fu Yatong thought about it and shook her head.
"No, I'll file for divorce myself first. If...if it really doesn't work out...we'll talk about it later."
Before getting off the car, Fu Yatong repeatedly told her not to tell anyone.
This really put her in a difficult position.
If you tell it out loud, you'll feel sorry for Fu Yatong, and it will also make you look like a talkative sister-in-law.
If I don’t tell you, what if something happens?
She, who always loved eating melons, regretted it for the first time.
Honestly, if there is some gossip that you shouldn’t hear, just don’t ask about it.
Now I know I’m in a dilemma.
…
Some things cannot be hidden. She always felt uneasy when thinking about Fu Yatong.
What about the Hao family? What kind of family is the Hao family?
I tossed and turned at night and couldn't sleep, and people around me naturally felt it.
"Can't sleep?"
"Um."
"What's troubling you so much?"
Lin Yuyao paused and said, "It's about work."
"Didn't they say they've already signed the contract?"
"Yes, it's done. Nothing to worry about. Go to sleep."
Fu Huaiyi: “…” That’s not the case.
"Yatong left today?"
"Huh? Oh, yeah, he said he was busy with work."
"What kind of work have you been busy with these few days?"
"How would I know? That's her business. I didn't ask."
"You took her to the airport?"
"Yeah, I was free anyway, so I just sent her there."
"Since she's only coming back for a few days, what is she doing here?"
"How should I know? Didn't she tell you?"
Fu Huaiyi: “…”
"Look, she didn't tell you, so how could she tell me?"
Fu Huaiyi didn't ask any more questions. "Go to sleep."
The next day, Lin Yuyao asked Chen Bingzhi about the Hao family.
"Hao Jia, why are you suddenly asking about the Hao family?"
"I'm just asking, have you heard of this?"
"Never heard of it." Chen Bingzhi shook his head.
Never heard of it?
But she said that this restaurant is quite famous in South City.
Maybe they are not on the same path?
South City is so big, how can I recognize everyone?
"But..." Chen Bingzhi rubbed his chin and thought for a moment before saying, "This surname is not common. If you could provide more information, I could help you find out."
Lin Yuyao waved her hand, "Forget it."
"Huh? You asked and then you just forgot?"
"Um."
Chen Bingzhi: “…”
"I was just asking casually, don't take it too seriously. I figured you were a local expert so I just asked casually. If you don't know, just forget it. Don't ask anyone else."
That’s what she said, but is Lin Yuyao the kind of person who asks questions casually?
When he returned home to fish in the evening, Chen Bingzhi also asked casually.
"Brother Fu, have you heard of the Hao family?"
Fu Huaiyi's expression froze, and he slowly turned his head towards him. "Did you hear that?"
Looking at his expression, Chen Bingzhi suddenly had a bad feeling.
He chuckled twice and said, "No big deal, I just asked casually. Forget it if you don't know."
Fu Huaiyi: “…”
"Fishing, fishing, ha, I find my skills have improved."
Fu Huaiyi was such a smart man that he quickly thought of many problems.
But he didn't ask Lin Yuyao directly. How could he not understand her?
Since she didn't say anything, she must have promised others not to tell.
He couldn't let his wife take the blame, so he went to ask Yi Yunshuo.
"When you were abroad, did you hear about a guy named Hao?"
"I don't know."
Yi Yunshuo looked up at the sky, then down at the ground, then left and right, but he didn't dare to look at what was in front of him.
Fu Huaiyi's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. He threw the lunch box into the basin and pulled him to the dormitory.
"Hey, hey, just talk instead of doing anything. You threw my lunch box..."
Fu Huaiyi pulled him back to the dormitory, slammed the door shut and locked it.
Yi Yunshuo looked at him in horror, "What are you trying to do in broad daylight? Hitting someone is against discipline, you know that, right?"
Fu Huaiyi: "Am I your brother?"
"Of course it is."
"So if you have something going on, should you keep it a secret from your brothers?"
"I...what am I hiding from you?"
"Hmph, why are you sticking your butt out? I know what shit you're doing. Are you still trying to hide it from me?"
Yi Yunshuo: “…”
"What happened to Hao?"
"Ah?" Yi Yunshuo was still pretending to be confused.
Fu Huaiyi asked again: "Is it related to my sister?"
"this……"
"Speak now, if you keep dithering, I'll cut off my own limbs."
"No, alas! Brother Yi, you are making things difficult for me. I don't know much." Yi Yunshuo said with a frown.
"Not much? You didn't know much after those few years there?"
"Yeah, I don't know much either."
Fu Huaiyi suppressed his anger and said, "The man told me what you know."
"That's it, alas!" Yi Yunshuo sighed deeply, then sat down and spoke slowly.
He knew something, but not much.
