Chapter 211 Headache, Cousins Meet
Fu Ya's expression was unusually serious, and his eyes held a ruthless glint. This was a stark contrast to his usual image as a playboy in public, so much so that all the gossip reporters fell silent. The rumors that the men of the Fu family were all tigers and wolves were indeed true!
The Fu family was too powerful to offend; they were rich and capricious, and ordinary people like them couldn't possibly compete with them. So, one by one, the reporters prepared to leave, but then Fu Ya's cold voice came over again.
"None of you are allowed to leave. Until it is confirmed whether you are involved in stabbing my third brother, no one is allowed to leave!"
As Fu Ya spoke, he instructed his staff to ask security guards to keep all the reporters under their watchful eyes.
"This is illegal confinement! We...we can call the police!"
A reporter looked at Fu Ya with resentment, but Fu Ya just snorted coldly.
"Illegal confinement? I only invited you all to stay for dinner, how did that become illegal confinement? I could also say that you're in cahoots with the assailant who stabbed my third brother! Call the police, go ahead and call them, let's see who suffers in the end!"
"Alright, enough said. They're rich and powerful, we can't afford to mess with them. Since Young Master Fu invited us to dinner, let's have dinner then!"
"Yes, the reporter is right. I am rich and powerful. For my third brother's sake, I will act as a bully and let's see who has a problem with it!"
It has to be said that after Fu Ya said those words, all the reporters immediately fell silent. They were rich, powerful, and influential, while they were just small-time reporters. It would be unwise to provoke the Fu family for the sake of showing off!
"Fifth Young Master Fu, I'll take President Heng to the hospital first."
Nan Ze carried Fu Heng into the car, tossed him those words, and sped away. Fu Ya frowned, left the 24-hour service to the staff, and ran to the parking lot with his car keys.
"Fifth Young Master Fu, wait a moment."
Zi Xi walked over quickly, and Fu Ya looked at her with his brows furrowed.
"Don't worry, whatever your third brother says is your reward, it will be exactly what he says, not a penny less. The Fu family will never owe anyone money!"
"I told you money is not a problem at all!" Zi Xi said with a hint of displeasure. If she hadn't seen Fu Heng injured and taken to the hospital, she would have turned around and left right now to avoid being mocked by Fu Ya. "Just now, when the reporters rushed over and caused chaos, I saw someone wearing a ribbon-cutting tray-carrying employee uniform hurriedly leave. I wonder if that person is the one who hurt President Heng!"
Beneath Zi Xi's aloof exterior lies a kind heart, but the rules of the entertainment industry force her to become the person she is today!
"Are you sure? I wonder if Miss Zixi would be willing to do me a favor?"
Fu Ya's tone was filled with excitement and respect, but Zi Xi seemed not to hear him and glanced at the time on her wrist.
"I'm afraid it's not possible now, I have an audition at 1:30. Here's what we'll do, this is my phone number, call me when you're free, Mr. Heng, and I'll come over."
As Zi Xi spoke, she took out a lipstick from her makeup bag and wrote her phone number on Fu Ya's suit sleeve. Fu Ya looked at his custom-made Armani suit and his expression was a little unpleasant, but when he thought that the woman in front of him was the only one who could help his third brother, he swallowed his displeasure.
"Thank you very much, Miss Zixi. I will personally transfer the payment to you when I return from the hospital."
"Money is not the biggest problem."
This phrase seemed to have become her catchphrase. Without even glancing at Fu Ya again, Zi Xi turned around and quickly followed her manager, Lin Yi, towards the garage.
"Zi Xi, you shouldn't have meddled!"
Lin Yi handed the thermos to Zi Xi while saying unhappily, "As a goddess to many men, Zi Xi's biggest taboo is to have even the slightest rumor with any wealthy man!"
Lin Yi had spent a lot of favors to settle things after what happened between her and Xiao Yan. He never expected that things would be peaceful for so long, and now she was getting entangled with the men of the Fu family again. Lin Yi felt a headache coming on. He was starting to doubt whether he had planned the aloof goddess image for Zi Xi wrong. She was becoming more and more like a crazy girl. He had a feeling that he would eventually fall for this little girl.
"You mean you want me to pretend I didn't see anything? To let those bad guys get away with it?"
Zi Xi sat in the nanny van, took a sip of bird's nest from her thermos, and frowned slightly.
"I don't want to eat this kind of stew anymore! I'd rather just drink some herbal tea!"
"My dear aunt, there are so many young and beautiful men and women these days, you need to pay attention to skincare, okay? Look at your face, haven't you noticed that it's not as smooth, delicate and radiant as it was six months ago? That's because you're losing collagen!"
"Bullshit, this is the consequence of you making me diet and go on a diet! Besides, where am I old?"
Zi Xi casually tossed the thermos into Lin Yi's arms, glaring at him with displeasure. She was clearly a lively and cheerful girl, but under his control, she had been turned into a cold and aloof goddess. This kind of life was truly miserable!
"Grandma, do you even know what 'refined' means? Your current identity is that of a cool and aloof goddess to male otaku, not a carefree and easygoing crazy woman, okay? Can't you have some image to maintain, some idol image to protect?"
Lin Yi's head was about to explode. Before Zi Xi went on vacation to Thailand, she was absolutely obedient to his requests. But after returning from Thailand, Zi Xi was like a completely different person. She would always talk back to him whenever she could, and the tomboyish image hidden under her goddess exterior began to be exposed.
"Alright, I don't want to talk to you. Hurry up and take me to the audition, or I might back out of the role and switch to advertising endorsements!"
"Grandma, don't scare me, this movie is yours..."
This is my first film to venture into the international market; the contract has already been signed, and the penalty for breach of contract could be tens of millions!
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and drive away!"
Zi Xi glared at Lin Yi, giving him another headache. This girl was getting harder and harder to deal with! Oh well, what could he do? She was the cash cow of the agency. Lin Yi sighed and had no choice but to get out of the car and become the chauffeur again. Zi Xi, meanwhile, lay on the car's rest bed, recalling the scene she had witnessed during the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Inside the hospital, Nanze stood outside the emergency room, pacing back and forth anxiously.
This incident, occurring on their very first meeting, must have made him quite uncomfortable.
Encountering bloodshed on the very first day of 24-hour operation seems like a bad omen.
Despite living abroad for many years, he still has a devout heart when it comes to superstition.
This is the same feeling as many business people. Everyone who does business hopes that the opening day will be smooth and peaceful. The red ribbon used for the ribbon-cutting is meant to ward off evil and disaster. Who knew that not only did it not ward off evil, but such a thing happened on the opening day. It's really unlucky.
"Mr. Nan, how is my third brother doing now?"
When Fu Ya rushed to the emergency room and saw Nan Ze, he grabbed his arm and started asking questions. He was very strong, and Nan Ze was in some pain from his grip.
"Fifth Young Master Fu, your hand..."
"Oh, sorry!" Remembering the gossip magazine articles about Nan Ze, Fu Ya immediately withdrew her hands, her face full of apology. "How is my third brother now?"
"I didn't know that. I was brought here as soon as I arrived at the hospital."
Nan Ze shrugged. He really didn't know what Fu Heng's situation was now. Fu Ya frowned, and suddenly, as if he had made up his mind, dialed a number and walked to the side.
"Sister-in-law, I am Fu Ya."
"Oh, hello, what can I do for you?"
After lunch, Gu Mingxia vomited violently again, feeling as if her internal organs were about to come out. So when she received Fu Ya's call, she spoke weakly.
"My third brother had an accident and is currently in the emergency room. I... I was wondering if you could come and see him?"
Fu Ya knew about Fu Heng's infatuation with Gu Mingxia. Now he only hoped that this woman, who was very important to his third brother, could come over. Perhaps with Gu Mingxia there, his third brother would have the strength to get through whatever happened.
"Fu Heng is in trouble? Is it serious? Which hospital is he in? I'm coming right now!"
Gu Mingxia's face was very pale, but after hearing Fu Ya's words, she immediately got out of bed, her face full of worry.
"She's currently in the emergency room at Maria Hospital..."
"I'll be there right away!"
Before Fu Ya could finish speaking, Gu Mingxia hung up the phone and hurriedly walked out in her hospital gown and slippers.
"Qianhua, Fuheng is in an accident. He's in the emergency room right now. Do you want to come with me to see him?"
"Oh! Something happened to him? I should go see him too. He's my fiancé, after all!"
Liu Qianhua was kind-hearted at heart. Although Fu Heng had repeatedly refused her requests, she didn't want to see anything happen to him. So she decided to go see him with Gu Mingxia.
When the two arrived outside the emergency room, they saw Fu Ya and the other brothers of the Fu family who had rushed over.
"Sister-in-law, you're in the hospital too?"
"I'm fine. How is Fu Heng now? Is it serious? What happened?"
"We'll have to wait for the doctor to come out to know the specifics, but it's probably not good news. He was bleeding a lot when he arrived at the hospital, and he wasn't brought there in a very timely manner!"
Fu Ya said with some self-reproach, "Originally, Fu Feng and Fu Rong were supposed to accompany Fu Heng to the opening ceremony, but he himself volunteered to learn with his third brother, and then..."
How did he get injured?
"He was stabbed with a three-pointed double-edged knife. He lost too much blood when he arrived at the hospital, and the doctors are currently treating him."
Nan Ze calmly answered Gu Mingxia's question, staring at her for a long while.
"Are you Gu Mingxia, Aunt Nanlan's daughter?"
