39. Are you hiding from your Uncle Fu?
This sentence made Gu Xunfang suspicious. She put the teacup on the coffee table, and a trace of thought flashed in her lowered eyes.
"Xiao Hui has always liked to disturb you since he was young. I thought..."
She seemed to be recalling something from the past, and started talking with a smile. Suddenly, she paused, looked up, and asked doubtfully, "I remember she said she interviewed you two years ago. Didn't she leave you her contact information?"
Fu Rongshen was not at all flustered and explained calmly: "She left her mobile number, but I couldn't get through when I called her. I thought she might have changed her number."
"Can't get through? Let me try." Gu Xunfang took out his cell phone in confusion and called his daughter.
The phone rang twice, and a message came in saying the call could not be connected.
She frowned: "What's wrong with this child!"
Fu Rongshen retracted his gaze, hid the emotions in his eyes, stood up, and spoke politely.
"It's getting late now. I'm going to the hospital to see my brother. Sister-in-law, if Yan Hui contacts you again, please let me know."
Gu Xunfang was surprised. She wouldn't care if the word "notice" came from anyone's mouth, but this person was Fu Rongshen!
Such almost humble words, coming from the mouth of such a shrewd businessman who would do anything to achieve his goals, gave her goose bumps.
She put away her phone, stood up as well, and asked with concern, "Do you want me to take you there?"
"No, I drove here."
"Okay, be careful on the road. I'll tell you the first time the kid calls." She stood on the steps of the gate and said one more sentence before leaving, to reassure him.
As she watched the taillights of the car disappear from her sight, she closed the door and the smile on her face faded.
When Xiao Hui left, he said something to her:
"Mom, don't tell anyone who comes to look for me at home. No one except you and Dad can know my location."
Because of what happened with Gu He before, she took these words to heart.
But unexpectedly, the first person who came to find his daughter was not Gu He, but... Fu Rongshen.
If it weren't for his strong aura, which made it obvious at a glance that he was not an ordinary person, she would not have believed him when he said he was Fu Rongshen.
After all, the Fu family and the Chu family have not had any contact for ten years except for the incident this year when Xiao Hui was framed.
Since the Chu family fell into decline, they have withdrawn from the upper class, no longer attend banquets, and rarely appear in the public eye.
Even when the girl was with Gu He, she felt that they were too high up and there was a huge gap between them, and she firmly disagreed with their relationship.
What's more, a person of Fu Rongshen's level has nothing to do with the Chu family.
Visiting in person is simply a fantasy!
So even though she had experienced many ups and downs, she couldn't help but be shocked when she heard him say her name.
In addition, nine years have passed and Fu Rongshen has changed a lot. She just subconsciously felt familiar with him, but didn't recognize him at all.
In my memory, he had a buzz cut, and his appearance and temper were rather sharp, giving the impression that he was difficult to get along with. Perhaps it was because he was getting older that he had become more gentle and restrained.
But she didn't understand why Fu Rongshen wanted to see Xiao Hui?
She told the servant to clear the coffee table and went upstairs. The foreign expert's business card was placed in the glass cabinet.
I went to the study, picked up the landline and dialed a number.
The call was connected almost immediately, and the girl's sweet, nervous voice came through: "Mom? Why are you calling so late? Is there something wrong with Dad?"
"No," Gu Xunfang explained Fu Rongshen's visit tonight and asked her pointedly, "Are you avoiding your Uncle Fu?"
The girl whispered, "Well, I offended him, so I have to hide. I didn't tell you in advance because I was afraid that you would know and be implicated."
"Girl, is that all you have to explain to your mother? Who are you trying to hide this from?"
"I remember that when you were little, you loved to stick to him the most, and he spoiled you a lot. I want to hear how you offended him after all these years."
Chu Yanhui knew that he could not hide anything from his mother, but he could not tell her everything truthfully for fear that she would faint from anger.
I can only repeat the reasons I told my father:
"When my uncle and Gu He were working together, there was some friction. I was with Gu He at the time, so I got involved."
"Later, my uncle found out that Gu He had cheated on me and framed me, so he promised to give me an invitation to Gu He and Huo Sisi's engagement party. I took advantage of his influence and ruined the engagement party."
"Gu He wanted to get revenge on me, so he revealed what happened back then. Now that everything has been exposed, my uncle hates me, and I have no choice but to hide from him."
"Mom, forget about this after you hear it. Don't remember it. If he comes looking for you again, just say I disappeared without a trace. Otherwise, I'm afraid he might threaten you."
After hearing this, Gu Xunfang was silent for a long time.
"Gu He still hates you, and this has caused trouble for Fu Rongshen..." She looked worried and said angrily, "Your father was right. He shouldn't have let you return to Gangcheng in the first place!"
"Mom, I regret it...but there's no point saying anything now." She admitted her mistake.
The woman pondered for a long time and made a decision: "Let's go abroad. I know someone in Frico, the capital of Country B. Let's move there."
Chu Yanhui immediately shook his head:
"You can't leave Haicheng. You'll be found immediately. Not only will it be difficult to relocate, but we don't know what you'll face if you're found."
"Mom, Dad is not in good health and needs to rest. We must not let him get angry about me. I will hide outside for a while. When they forget about this, I will go back to Haicheng to be with you. Okay?"
Gu Xunfang sighed deeply, feeling worried.
"Since you have made your plans, I will follow your instructions..."
"Xiao Hui, your father and I only have you as our child. You must remember that your safety is more important than anything else."
"Be sure to protect yourself and don't let anything happen to you."
"Didn't I give you a card before you left? If you don't have enough money, just spend it. Your dad and I will continue to transfer money to that card."
Chu Yan replied with a sigh and said helplessly: "Mom, I'm already this old, how can I still spend your money recklessly? I have hands and feet, I can find a job anywhere."
She understood her mother's intention.
The other party felt sorry for her and was worried that she would not have a good time while hiding.
Before hanging up the phone, Gu Xunfang gave her some warning and added, "No matter how old you are, you are still our daughter."
And the other side.
After Fu Rongshen went to Haicheng Hospital to see Chu Pingyou, his expression improved a little.
When he was talking to Chu Pingyou about "Chu Yanhui liked the sea and should go south", the other party's expression became unnatural for a moment.
If his guess was correct, the girl should have hidden in a city in the north.
He lowered his eyes to look at the watch on his wrist, tapped his finger on the expensive dial, and said to Tang Ling, who was on the phone beside him, "Assistant Tang, catch the plane first."
On the plane.
"Send people to check the exit points in Beijing, North City, and Qingcheng. We need to know the results within three days."
Tang Ling: "Okay, Mr. Fu."
The man stroked the ring on his left thumb, his eyes dark and deep.
Xiaoyan replied, you really think you can avoid me like this...right?
