Chapter 197 Gossip: Is there anything I can do for you?
Fu Heng was momentarily surprised as he sat in the car. When did gossip reporters gather at the Fu family's gate?
He doesn't think that the current life of the wealthy is more attractive to people than the love triangles and dramas in the entertainment industry.
But the reality was that as soon as Liu Qianhua appeared, a group of gossip reporters surrounded her. For the first time, the elegant and proper smile on his face disappeared in front of outsiders, and he stared sharply at Liu Qianhua, who was holding the car door and had a smug look on her face.
"The reporter you hired?"
"So what? Besides, I wasn't lying; we were already engaged!"
Liu Qianhua, who felt no remorse whatsoever, spoke with righteous indignation, but this attitude instantly angered Fu Heng.
"Mr. Heng, is what this young lady is saying true?"
"Are you two really engaged?"
"Yes, when do you plan to get married? Where do you plan to hold the wedding?"
One has to admire the sheer imagination these reporters have. Fu Heng narrowed his eyes, staring sharply at Liu Qianhua, giving her a fierce glare before turning his attention to the reporters surrounding the car.
"Friends, there's been a misunderstanding. We have an important meeting at the company today. I'll have my assistant call you another day to explain. I hope you'll be lenient and just pretend nothing happened today, okay? Don't make my assistant call the magazine editors personally!"
These words were half negotiation and half threat. Before Liu Qianhua could react, Fu Heng had already pried her hand off the car door and ordered the driver to step on the gas and speed away.
"Let's go, otherwise if the editor-in-chief speaks up, we'll definitely offend President Heng!"
"Hey, let's go. Not having any headlines isn't scary; what's scary is offending Boss Heng!"
A group of gossip reporters deleted the photos and recordings they had taken. Liu Qianhua looked at the reporters scattering around her and waved her hands somewhat unwillingly.
"Hey, why did you all leave? I'm telling the truth, I really do have a marriage agreement with President Heng!"
The reporters looked at Liu Qianhua and shook their heads, walking away one by one. Liu Qianhua looked helpless, but still stubbornly grabbed a female reporter who was passing by.
"Miss, I really am Mr. Heng's fiancée, and I am engaged. Why don't you all believe me?"
“Miss, since President Heng hasn’t admitted it himself, then you’re not him! Besides, everyone in Xiangcheng knows that President Heng is in love with President Xiao’s fiancée from Maoguang Group. It’s an open secret. If you come out and say you’re President Heng’s fiancée now, even if it’s true, President Heng won’t allow any photos or reports, so you’ll never be him!”
The female reporter pried Liu Qianhua's hand off her arm, shook her head, and got into the car and left.
In the sudden silence at the entrance of the Fu family villa, Liu Qianhua, dressed in a white tracksuit, stood there looking utterly forlorn, her face clearly showing a look of incomprehension.
She truly didn't intend to force Fu Heng into marriage; it's just that her grandfather's condition was serious, and she simply wanted to fulfill one of his wishes. Why was it so difficult?
In the morning light, Liu Qianhua was bathed in sunlight, radiating a faint glow. Suddenly, she collapsed weakly to the ground, hugging her knees and burying her head in them, sobbing silently. Her long ponytail trembled incessantly with her trembling. Fu Feng, with his hands in his pockets, sighed helplessly.
"Get up."
Fu Feng held his hand out in mid-air. Liu Qianhua looked up, her eyes blurred with tears, and after recognizing Fu Feng, she sniffed, stood up, and glared at him fiercely.
"None of you in your family are good people!"
“Miss Liu, your forceful methods will not work on my third brother; they will only make him more resentful.”
Fu Feng was also a bit confused about this strange arranged marriage that the old man had made, but he still felt quite sorry for the girl who dared to challenge Fu Heng.
“My grandfather’s condition is serious, and I’m afraid… I don’t have much time to discuss things with him.”
Liu Qianhua looked into the distance, her eyes filled with sadness. She had no parents since she was a child and was raised by her grandfather. If she couldn't help her grandfather fulfill his wish, Liu Qianhua felt that she would despise herself for the rest of her life.
Fu Feng was taken aback, but he quickly regained his composure. He couldn't make decisions for Fu Heng before the matter was thoroughly investigated, otherwise he felt that his fate would be terrible!
“When Fu Heng comes back, have a good talk with him. He’s not as cold-blooded as you think.”
"I……"
Liu Qianhua didn't know what to say, glanced at Fu Feng, and then moved her lips.
"You're his brother, why are you helping me? You're not saying this on purpose to stop me from spreading rumors, are you?"
"Think whatever you want, but there's no use you standing here now. If you really want Fu Heng to help you, here's a suggestion: there's only one person in the world who can change his mind. If you can persuade that person, I think Fu Heng will definitely help you."
"Is it Gu Mingxia?"
Liu Qianhua frowned slightly, immediately recalling what the female reporter had told her earlier: that Fu Heng's favorite woman was named Gu Mingxia. The name had come to mind the moment Fu Feng uttered those words.
"I didn't say anything. Whether you can convince her or not is up to you."
Fu Feng shrugged and turned to enter through the gate. Liu Qianhua watched Fu Feng's retreating figure, her expression somewhat bewildered. Could she trust this man's words?
But she had no other choice but to try Fu Feng's suggestion. For her grandfather's sake, she was willing to try anything.
Carrying a small bag, Liu Qianhua hailed a taxi and went directly to Maoguang Group. When the car arrived at Maoguang Group, Liu Qianhua hesitated for a moment, but when she thought of her grandfather lying sick in the hospital, she immediately made the most firm decision.
"Excuse me, is Miss Gu Mingxia here?"
Do you have an appointment?
The receptionist looked at Liu Qianhua gently, thought for a moment, and then shook her head.
"No, but could you please tell her that Fu Heng's friend is looking for her?"
Mr. Heng's friend came to see their President Gu? And it was a woman. Could it be that the rumors of Mr. Heng's infatuation with President Gu are true?
This is really big gossip! The receptionist's eyes gleamed with a thirst for the truth, but she still remembered very clearly that she was just a lowly receptionist.
"Okay, please wait a moment."
The receptionist made a phone call to inquire, and soon smiled politely at Liu Qianhua.
"President Gu, please come upstairs."
"Thanks."
Liu Qianhua nodded and thanked him politely. Just as she was about to go upstairs, the receptionist ran up to her, looking very gossipy.
"May I ask what your relationship is with President Heng, and why you've come to see President Gu?"
“I…” Liu Qianhua hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not reveal that she was his fiancée. She smiled faintly. “Fu Heng and I are just friends. He asked me to come and see Miss Gu about something.”
After saying that, Liu Qianhua got on the elevator. The receptionist curled her lip in disbelief. What's so great about her? She just knows Fu Heng!
After getting off the elevator, Gu Mingxia saw Liu Qianhua, who was dressed in a white tracksuit and had a heroic appearance, and she gave her a polite smile.
"You must be Fu Heng's friend? I'm Gu Mingxia."
When Liu Qianhua looked up, she saw Gu Mingxia standing in front of her, wearing black trousers and a purple shirt, with medium-length hair and a beautiful face.
So beautiful! No wonder Fu Heng likes her; even as a woman myself, I find her incredibly beautiful!
Looking at herself, she spends most of her time in the martial arts school, always dressed in sportswear, so it's no wonder Fu Heng doesn't find her attractive.
However, none of that matters. The important thing is that she absolutely has to take him back to hold a wedding. She cannot let her grandfather leave with regrets.
"I am Liu Qianhua. I have something I'd like to discuss with you. Is this a convenient time, Miss Gu?"
"Okay! Let's talk in my office."
Gu Mingxia nodded. When did Fu Heng get such a female friend? She was very curious to know what Liu Qianhua wanted to talk to her about.
"Sit down and have some water."
The two entered Gu Mingxia's office. She poured a glass of water and placed it on the coffee table. Liu Qianhua sat on the sofa, holding the glass, and looked at Gu Mingxia intently. After a long while, she smiled somewhat shyly.
"I apologize for disturbing Miss Gu. I hope you won't mind what I'm about to say."
"It's okay, just tell me what you want to say."
Gu Mingxia watched Liu Qianhua with a smile on her face. She was really curious about what Fu Heng's friend would want to see her about!
"That's right. Fu Heng and I had a marriage agreement arranged by our two grandfathers. I know that what the elders agreed to in private doesn't mean anything, and I never intended to marry him because of it."
"Hmm? But this doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, does it?"
It's really surprising that Fu Heng has a fiancée he was betrothed to since childhood. This is quite a piece of gossip!
“My grandfather is seriously ill now, and the doctor said he doesn’t have much time left. I grew up without parents, and my grandfather raised me single-handedly. Now his only wish is to see me marry Fu Heng. I went to the Fu family, but Fu Heng disagreed.”
"Miss Liu, to be frank, it's not quite right for you to come to me with this question, is it?"
“I know it’s presumptuous of me to come to Miss Gu. But I have no other choice. And I’m not asking Fu Heng to marry me. I just want him to come back to Foshan with me and have a wedding. I… just want to fulfill my grandfather’s wish and not let him leave with regrets.”
"I'm sorry. But is there anything I can do to help you?"
"Filial people are never too bad," Gu Mingxia thought with a smile, her eyes calmly fixed on Liu Qianhua.
“I know Fu Heng has always liked you, so I would like to ask you to help me persuade him. I… I’m sorry to come to you for this.”
