Meng Fuyan packed her luggage quickly; there wasn't much to it anyway. She left the Chen family and followed Gu Tingzhi to a guesthouse near his workplace.
Xu Jing, Fu Chaosheng, and others also stayed here temporarily.
Meng Fuyan first called Meng Yunji, and the call went directly to Lu Jianjun's office.
"Uncle Lu, it's me, Yanyan!"
Hearing this voice, Lu Jianjun was overjoyed. "Yanyan, are you alright? Where are you now? What did that bastard Wu Guozhu do to you?"
Meng Fuyan said slowly, "Uncle Lu, don't worry, I'm fine now. Actually, just a few hours after I left that night, Gu Tingzhi rescued me. But that group was too powerful, so Brother Gu hid me temporarily. Now that everything is resolved, I'm out and about."
“I am currently in Changlin City. I was sold by Wu Guozhu. The human traffickers he contacted are involved in transnational crimes and are still under investigation. I may have to stay here for a few more days to cooperate with the investigation and make statements. However, they are all very busy right now and may not have had time to deal with Wu Guozhu, who is just a nobody, so they haven’t thought of me yet.”
"Uncle Lu, you must have heard about what happened in Changlin City, right? It's about that group of people."
Lu Jianjun finally breathed a sigh of relief after waiting for so many days.
Actually, he had received a call from Gu Tingzhi confirming that Meng Fuyan was alright, but hearing it from someone else was a completely different experience from hearing Meng Fuyan's voice herself.
"I heard about what happened over there. It'll probably spread all over the country soon. Anyway, I'm glad you're alright. That bastard Wu Guozhu, I'll definitely shoot him dead next time. I've been too lenient with him all these years, which is why he dared to do something so cruel to you. It's good that you're okay."
Meng Fuyan comforted him, "Uncle Lu, don't be angry. It's not worth it. I'm actually relieved this time. I always felt that he was hiding something from me, as well as Uncle Wu and his people. I was always afraid that they would cause trouble and implicate me. Now, I can finally sever all ties with the Wu family."
Lu Jianjun said, "Don't be afraid. Even if you can't sever ties with them, you won't be affected by them. With Uncle Lu here, no one can implicate you!"
Meng Fuyan remained silent.
She knew what Lu Jianjun meant, but there were some things she didn't want to take to the end. Uncle Lu felt sorry for her, but who knew about that other person?
"I understand, Uncle Lu. Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself. I'll go back as soon as things are alright here. I'm currently staying at a guesthouse not far from Brother Gu, and several of my friends are also staying here. It's very safe, so please don't worry."
"By the way, how is Yunji?"
Speaking of Meng Yunji, Lu Jianjun felt both gratified and heartbroken.
“Yunji is very good. This child is very obedient and sensible, but he is too obedient and sensible. A boy who is not yet ten years old should be at the age where he is naughty and mischievous, but he is too well-behaved.”
“Your aunt and I both have to work, and we’re usually very busy. He’s either at home or with me in the office, where he stays all day long. He’s quiet and well-behaved and doesn’t cause me any trouble. But how can a child be like that? It’s normal for him to be lively and mischievous.”
Meng Fuyan pursed her lips, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Yunji wasn't born this way.
She remembered that Yunji was very cute and lively when she was a child, but that only lasted for a few years.
His maternal grandparents passed away, and his mother later passed away as well. Fewer and fewer people in the family loved him, and he gradually changed at a young age.
Yunji is different from her. When she encountered the changes, her mindset had already matured. She had been raised by her grandparents and mother since childhood. But Yunji hadn't had time to grow up before his family's situation changed drastically.
In his world, home is not safe.
Seeing Meng Fuyan remain silent, Lu Jianjun sighed, "This is due to your family's situation. Fortunately, the matter has been basically resolved now, and Wu Guozhu will no longer affect you. If we take good care of him, he should gradually recover."
“Why don’t we leave him at my house for now? After all, this is where he grew up, and there are some of his childhood friends here. He’s just a little kid, and he doesn’t have to do farm work.”
"By the way, your older brother is back. I asked him to take Yunji around and have some fun. Boys should play with other boys to be like men. It's not good for him to always be following you around."
Meng Fuyan took a deep breath. "I understand. Uncle Lu, could you have Yun call me sometime? This number is the one at my guesthouse. He can reach me in the next few days."
"Okay, then let's not wait any longer. That child is waiting for your news every day. I'll have someone bring him over right now. Call me back in half an hour."
"good!"
After hanging up the phone, Meng Fuyan felt a little sad.
That's just how her family is, that's a fact, and it can't be changed.
What about the future?
We can't let things continue like this.
Children shouldn't always feel insecure.
"Yanyan, are you done on the phone? I bought some food, come over and have some."
Upon hearing Gu Tingzhi's voice, Meng Fuyan turned her head and saw Gu Tingzhi's tall figure slowly approaching, carrying a thermos in his hand.
He is tall, has long legs, broad shoulders, a loud voice, and gentle yet powerful eyes.
Gu Tingzhi possessed something she lacked: masculine charm.
Yunji is a boy. If he had a great father to accompany him as he grew up, things would be much better.
But he didn't, so... what about my brother-in-law?
Meng Fuyan looked Gu Tingzhi up and down, a smile playing on her lips. She was satisfied with him in every way; no wonder he could be unforgettable to her for lifetimes.
She had secretly regretted not being able to sleep with him in her past life for a long time.
Meng Fuyan smiled brightly, "Brother Gu, Yun Ji isn't here. Uncle Lu went to call him and told me to call back later. Can you wait here for me and say a few words to Yun Ji later?"
"He's been so worried these past few days. Hearing your voice and knowing I'm with you will definitely put his mind at ease. He admires you so much!"
Gu Tingzhi nodded, "Sure!"
Meng Yunji is Meng Fuyan's only relative. Gu Tingzhi would be happy to build a good relationship with Meng Yunji, who is his future brother-in-law.
So they waited together.
Half an hour later, Meng Fuyan dialed the phone again. Meng Yunji was already waiting in Lu Jianjun's office. As soon as she answered the phone, she couldn't wait to shout, "Sister, is that you, sister?"
The voice was urgent; after all, he was young and his emotions were easily revealed. Meng Fuyan could hear the sobbing in his voice, which was also trembling slightly.
