Mom is still alive!
Mom is still alive!
This was absolutely the best news she had heard since her rebirth.
But if Mom didn't die, why didn't she come back to find her in her past life?
Even if it was impossible to return to China during a special period, overseas Chinese were fully able to return after the country opened up. Why didn't my mother come back?
"And then what happened? Did Mom manage to get out? Did she send you any messages afterward? Did her injuries heal? Where did she go?"
Lu Guozhong didn't actually know where Meng Suqin was now, but he did receive news at the time.
“I successfully sent her away. The first stop was Hong Kong, where she received treatment. Later, I was told that her life had been saved, but there would likely be aftereffects. Two years ago, I received news again that she had gone to the United States, presumably to continue treatment, or perhaps to seek help from a collateral branch of the Meng family. Since then, I have had no further news of her.”
Aftereffects!
Meng Fuyan's heart clenched again.
She survived, but there are still aftereffects. So, her mother never came back to find her in her past life...?
She couldn't imagine what that outcome would be.
"I...I understand, thank you, Uncle. I will do everything I can to find my mother when I get there. If she is not cured in Hong Kong, she will definitely go somewhere else and will most likely contact the Meng family's collateral branch. I will definitely find my mother."
Lu Guozhong grabbed Meng Fuyan's arm and instructed her, "Remember, be careful when you get there. Don't assume that you can trust people from the Meng family's collateral branches. You can't see into someone's heart, even if you are a blood relative."
"Your mother is the heir of the Meng family. Back then, the Meng family's wealth should all be in your mother's hands! It's hard to guarantee that those outsiders won't want it. If they know that your maternal grandparents have passed away and your mother is now going to rely on them, leaving only you and your younger brother in the country, then it's not impossible that some people will want to seize your family's wealth."
"Even if some people don't have those intentions, it doesn't mean everyone doesn't. You have to be careful after you go there. Sometimes, the people around you are the most dangerous, understand?"
Meng Fuyan pursed her lips and nodded solemnly, "I remember, Uncle, don't worry, I will be careful."
How could Lu Guozhong be at ease?
After giving her many instructions, and knowing that there was no time to delay any longer, they finally let Meng Fuyan leave.
Meng Fuyan traveled by plane, first to the airport in Shanghai, then by train south, and finally entered the port city from the south.
To make the act more convincing, she didn't even enter Hong Kong through legitimate means. She contacted Gu Tingzhi's people at the border and successfully arrived in Hong Kong, where Gu Tingzhi was already waiting for her.
However, the man before me is completely different from the man I used to be.
This face is completely unfamiliar.
Having not seen her for nearly three months, Gu Tingzhi had been waiting impatiently. When she finally arrived, Meng Fuyan was still in a daze when he pulled her into his arms.
"Tingzhi?"
Gu Tingzhi held the person tightly in his arms. "Don't be afraid, it's me."
The familiar voice calmed Meng Fuyan down. She hugged him back and whispered, "How did you become like this? I almost didn't recognize you."
Gu Tingzhi laughed and said, "When you're out doing business, you naturally have to do some disguises. My identity has changed now. I'm called Fu Jinnian, and I come from the same family as Chaosheng."
Meng Fuyan blinked. Fu?
Isn't this the surname of the most common domineering CEO in those novels from my past life?
Look at him now, in a suit and leather shoes, wearing glasses, looking like a business elite. All the sharpness and righteousness he had in the army is gone.
He had disguised his face so well that even familiar people wouldn't recognize him without being told otherwise.
Behind her, Xu Jing and Fu Chaosheng were also there. When they saw Meng Fuyan, Xu Jing waved with a smile, while Fu Chaosheng remained expressionless.
"What about me? Do I need to change my identity?"
Gu Tingzhi shook his head, "No need, it won't affect you in the future. I'm going back to the army in the future, so I need to keep my original identity. Right now, I'm just doing a mission, so I'm just getting a new identity."
Meng Fuyan nodded, "Okay, I understand. Hurry up and take me to take a shower and rest. I'm exhausted after sitting on the train for so long."
Gu Tingzhi immediately led her into the car, and when he saw the person behind her, he looked at Meng Fuyan questioningly.
Meng Fuyan explained, "This is the bodyguard that Uncle Lu arranged for me. Her name is Chen Ying, and she will be by my side from now on."
Chen Ying?
Gu Tingzhi was somewhat surprised. He had heard of this person in his previous life; she was an outstanding female special forces soldier.
Special forces have extremely high requirements for individual physical condition. Physical strength is almost a basic requirement. The difference in physical ability between men and women is innate, so there are relatively few outstanding women in the special forces.
Those who stand out naturally attract attention.
He had seen Chen Ying before, but wasn't she one of Lu Guozhong's men? How did she end up with Yan Yan?
Did Lu Jianjun borrow it from his brother?
In my memory, Lu Guozhong wasn't so easy to talk to.
However, Gu Tingzhi did not show any abnormality on his face and asked Xu Jing to arrange for everyone to get into the car.
Here in the port city, they are much freer. If they have money, they can live very well. And coincidentally, Gu Tingzhi is very rich.
The group took a car and went directly back to the villa that Gu Tingzhi had purchased in Hong Kong.
Xu Jing arranged for Chen Ying and the others to stay, and Gu Tingzhi took Meng Fuyan upstairs. However, Chen Ying grabbed Meng Fuyan's wrist and said, "Miss, I want to stay with you."
She looked at Gu Tingzhi with wariness in her eyes. He was taking such a pretty young girl upstairs, and she didn't know what he was going to do. She had to follow him closely.
Meng Fuyan suppressed a laugh and glanced at Gu Tingzhi, who indeed looked rather dark-faced.
She looked at Gu Tingzhi innocently, "She's right. Uncle Lu instructed her to stay with me at all times. Or... why don't you let her live with me?"
Gu Tingzhi's face darkened. "You're my girlfriend."
"This is my own home, there are no outsiders here, I don't need to act..."
"No way!" Gu Tingzhi pulled her into his arms, wrapping his arm around her waist, and said urgently, "That's what they say. Do you think the higher-ups can't see my intentions? I just think it's more convenient to have a girlfriend by my side, so I won't be seduced by other women."
"This isn't acting, you are my girlfriend."
Seeing his expression, Meng Fuyan stopped teasing him. After being apart for so long, he must miss her!
She misses him too!
"Alright, Chen Ying, go and rest. Your uncle told me about these things before I came, and I know what I'm doing."
Chen Ying pursed her lips and glanced at Gu Tingzhi. Although she was a little dissatisfied, she would definitely listen to Meng Fuyan.
So he let go of her hand, "Then... call me anytime if you need anything, young lady."
"Um!"
