58. The Scandal Hidden by the Huo Family
Chu Yanhui paused and said:
"I can't deny that he's a very hard person to understand at times, with all the cunning and craftiness of a businessman.
But fortunately, what I like is also very shallow.
I don't want to know whether he is a bad person, what his inner character is like, or what kind of movies or songs he likes to watch and listen to.
When I look at him, I can only see his handsome face and the gentle smile that suits my taste..."
She stretched out her hand, feeling the slightly cooler breeze outside, and her voice seemed to be a little scattered by the wind.
"Even the little quirks I haven't told you about, like tattoos... he has them, what a coincidence."
"It's hard to describe this feeling. His current external qualities are all what I like," she said, looking into Fu Zhiju's eyes. "If there was someone who met your aesthetic standards to the point that you could ignore his shortcomings, would you not like him?"
Fu Zhiju was unable to answer this question for a long time.
After a long while, he said, "Isn't this just a honey trap? I would think it was set up for me. I can play with it, but I will definitely not be tempted."
"If it were any stranger, I would have suspected a trap and wouldn't have dared approach him," the girl curled her lips, but it didn't look like a smile. "But he's my uncle, I've known him since we were little."
"Sometimes I feel like he's changed so much, like a completely different person. Especially when I saw your eyebrows just now, I subconsciously wondered why he changed his eyebrow shape and why he became so irresistible to me."
The smile gradually turned bitter: "If I could resist his temptation, I wouldn't be so entangled."
"Zhiju, I like him... To be more precise, I kind of love him," she paused, then spoke her truest thoughts. "But you're right, the age gap between him and me is an indisputable fact, and his personality is indeed not suitable for a lifelong companion."
He treats her gently, but one can see the paranoia and morbidity in his heart.
How can someone who can say "let's die together" on a plane be a lifelong partner?
"call--"
When Fu Zhiju heard her say this, he immediately felt relieved.
When Yan Hui said she liked Fu Rongshen, I really thought she was in love. I was really scared.
"You! You scared me to death." He poked the girl's forehead with his finger, "It seems that you are still smart."
"You think I want to be your aunt? Once sisters become aunt and niece?"
When Chu Yanhui wasn't smiling, she looked a bit pitiful, but when she did, she was sweet, and with the teasing between her eyebrows, she was so adorable that it was hard not to look at her twice.
Fu Zhiju also found it cute and couldn't help but poke her face again. He sighed and said, "Silly girl, I'm afraid you'll be bullied."
Chu Yanhui suddenly stopped talking.
His eyes trembled and turned red.
"Why are you so nice to me..."
"Is that all?" Fu Zhiju showed an exaggerated look of disdain. "Children like you who are easily moved are the most frustrating. If we were in middle school, I'd be afraid you'd be seduced away by that yellow-haired guy's words."
"Fu Zhiju—you are only two years older than me!" the girl stretched out her voice.
"Oh." Fu Zhiju gave a fake smile and said meanly, "I'm older than you even if I'm only two years old."
Chu Yanhui pinched her face and fought back: "Do you care so much about size? If I were your aunt, wouldn't you cry to death?"
"Hey! Don't let your mind wander—"
Fu Zhiju sat back at the tea table, took out the computer beside him and turned it on. As he turned it on, he said, "By the way, you left in a hurry last time and I didn't have time to ask. Didn't you leave Jiangcheng a while ago? Why are you back? I saw my uncle looking for you and thought you were avoiding him."
"I was hiding from him. There was a misunderstanding and I tried to run away, but I was caught."
The other party's eyes suddenly darkened, his expression solemn: "He didn't hurt you, did he?"
"I was locked in a small dark room for half a day, but I'm fine after that." Chu Yanhui spoke in a relaxed manner so as not to make her worry.
Fu Zhiju's expression eased slightly.
"Are you planning to wait until you have taken revenge on Gu He before leaving?"
The girl shook her head and told her the story in detail.
"I have an agreement with Fu Rongshen. If he lets Gu He go, I will stay in Gangcheng for two years. After two years, I will return to Haicheng to be with my parents."
"By then he'll definitely be tired of me and won't bother me anymore."
Fu Zhiju looked at her for a while, his expression a little difficult to describe.
"I think... you're a little too optimistic."
"Putting aside whether it's annoying or not, the fact that you believe he will fulfill his promise is incredible."
"Gu He is your ex-boyfriend. He did that kind of jerk thing to you and caused misunderstandings between you two. Fu Rongshen has always been ruthless in his actions. If he lets Gu He go, that would be a ghost!"
"He promised me," the girl pursed her lips, "I should choose to believe him."
"All right!"
Fu Zhiju shook his head, buried his head in front of the computer, and clicked on the information he found.
"Let's not talk about Fu Rongshen anymore, let's get down to business."
She waved and the girl came over and sat down beside her.
"You asked me to check Huo Sisi's experiences over the years. I didn't know what she had done before. It scared me. Here, take a look—"
Chu Yanhui looked at the two corpses in the computer picture and suddenly felt creepy.
He tilted his head to glance at the person next to him: "What is this?"
"Huo Sisi's deceased sister and brother. The body on the left is her sister Huo Miaomiao, and the charred one is her brother Huo Zhouzhou."
When Fu Zhiju said this, he was surprisingly serious, no longer as playful as usual.
"I looked into what happened to the Huo family three years ago. Besides Huo Sisi going abroad, another major incident occurred—Huo Miaomiao accidentally fell into the water and died."
"I glanced at the photo of the body and felt something was wrong. I handed it over to an experienced forensic doctor, who said it wasn't a fall into the water, but rather a drowning by putting the head into a container filled with water. There were no obvious signs of struggle, so it was suicide."
"suicide?"
Chu Yan clenched his hand and couldn't help but gasp.
You know, six years ago, the Huo family had a self-immolation case that shocked Hong Kong...
The deceased was the charred corpse - Huo Miaomiao's twin brother Huo Zhouzhou!
Fu Zhiju continued:
"Huo Zhouzhou committed suicide due to depression six years ago, and Huo Miaomiao drowned herself three years ago. How could such a coincidence happen in this world?"
"I realized something was wrong, so I started looking in this direction..."
She flipped through the pages with her mouse and highlighted a paragraph on the second page in red. "I looked it up and found out that six years ago...when we were in high school, the Huo family was involved in a shocking scandal."
Chu Yan looked back at the four words in red and immediately felt his scalp tingling.
Shocked and frightened: "Sister and brother...incest?"
"Yes, Huo Miaomiao and Huo Zhouzhou were together. It was said that they were seen by all the elders and confidants on the night of their eighteenth birthday party. It immediately made Mrs. Huo so angry that she fell ill."
