Chapter 106 Thunderclap, the Outburst of the Most Elegant and Gentlemanly Man
Fu Ziyu was completely stunned. She had been looking for Liang Yuhao to find out Gu Mingxia's whereabouts for her third brother, but she never expected to hear such shocking news.
When Liang Yuhao first told her the story, she didn't believe him. But after he asked her again, she couldn't help but start to believe him, even though she didn't believe him at first.
Because Liang Yuhao's emotions were so off, from the moment she saw him at Maoguang, she had already noticed that there was something wrong with him. After drinking all night, Fu Ziyu was even more convinced that what he said was only true within the scope of what he knew!
Seeing Liang Yuhao slumped on the table, completely oblivious, Fu Ziyu frowned, but still took out her phone and sent a message to Fu Bo. Soon, Fu Bo appeared in the private room.
"Yuyu, how could you come to a place like this? If Daddy and Mommy find out, they'll definitely scold you! Not to mention Daddy and Mommy, even Third Brother would probably give you a beating..."
Fu Bo raised his wrist to look at his watch, then stared intently into Fu Ziyu's eyes.
“Three hours! You know, Third Brother has always disliked girls hanging out in bars and nightclubs, you…”
"Alright, Fourth Brother, hurry up and help me get Yu Hao to the hotel! I need to get home to find Third Brother!"
As she spoke, Fu Ziyu reached for Liang Yuhao's coat, which he had left on the sofa. Her expression was anxious, and her tone quickened considerably. Fu Bo, while grumbling, reached out to help her.
"Yuyu, let me tell you in advance, even if you go to Third Brother to apologize, he'll nag you for two hours if he doesn't scold you for three! A girl like you shouldn't be staying at home, instead you're hanging out in bars with Liang Yuhao. Yuyu, you've really become bold!"
Fu Ziyu rolled her eyes. She really hadn't expected that besides her third brother, her fourth brother also had the potential to be a gossipy old woman. But she didn't have time to argue with him now; she'd better hurry home and tell her third brother the news she'd gotten from Liang Yuhao tonight!
"Fourth Brother, no wonder you still don't have a girlfriend, it's because you're too talkative!"
After leaving the bar, Fu Bo tossed Liang Yuhao into a seat in the back row. As soon as he settled in, Fu Ziyu said something to him that gave Fu Bo a headache. He had to admit that sometimes, his little sister's words could really be quite sharp!
"That's because your fourth brother has high standards! If I lowered my standards, there would be at least a whole regiment of people in the entire Xiangcheng who wanted to be your fourth sister-in-law!"
"Come on, do you think they want to marry you? They want to be the young mistress of the Fu family. They're after our Fu family's wealth and social status!"
Upon hearing Fu Ziyu's words, Fu Heng unconsciously turned to look at her. He had always thought of her as just a little girl, but now she was able to utter such profound and insightful words. Unbeknownst to him, the little girl whom the entire Fu family had doted on had already developed her own thoughts and opinions!
"Oh? So according to you, Fourth Brother will never find a girlfriend! The Fu family's wealth and status are there for all to see. Am I supposed to stay a bachelor for life because of the Fu family?"
Fu Bo made a turn, and the car headed towards the 7UP Hotel. Fu Ziyu leaned against the window, a sweet smile on her fair and clean face.
"Fourth Brother, you will eventually meet someone you can truly trust. Your heart will tell you who loves your wealth and who loves you!"
After Fu Ziyu finished speaking, Fu Bo didn't reply, but simply reached out and ruffled her hair, a comforting smile appearing on his handsome face. He had always known what kind of person he wanted to find, so he would rather remain single for so many years than just grab anyone to appease him.
When it comes to relationships, all the men in the Fu family hold the attitude of "better to be single than in a bad relationship." If they don't meet someone who makes their heart flutter and truly loves them, they would rather choose to remain single!
"Fourth Brother, go to the hotel and get a room for Yu Hao to rest. I won't go upstairs!"
Fu Ziyu knew the rules she had to keep in mind as a daughter of the Fu family: there were things she could do and things she couldn't. If she went to a hotel with Liang Yuhao that night and those gossip reporters found out, it would definitely be spread as a scandalous rumor that she and Liang Yuhao were having a secret rendezvous at a hotel.
"Okay, then wait a moment!"
Fu Bo pulled Liang Yuhao out and helped him to the hotel. A short while later, Fu Bo walked out of the hotel alone, got into his car, and drove straight to the Fu family mansion.
All the way back, Fu Ziyu was thinking about how to tell Fu Heng about Gu Mingxia when they got back. As an outsider, she could see that Fu Heng loved Gu Mingxia deeply. She really didn't know how Fu Heng would react after he found out the news.
"Yuyu, what's wrong? Why are you frowning so much? Is something on your mind?"
Fu Bo stared at the road ahead, and when he glanced at the rearview mirror, he saw Fu Ziyu with her brows furrowed and looking preoccupied.
"Fourth Brother, I got some information about Sister Gu from Liang Yuhao tonight, and I... I don't know if I should tell Third Brother!"
"Of course I have to tell Third Brother. You know how anxious Third Brother was when he couldn't get in touch with Gu Mingxia these days. Although he didn't say it directly, as his brother, I can still tell that he's really worried!"
Fu Ziyu pursed her lips but did not refute Fu Bo's words. Indeed, Fu Heng always dealt with all kinds of people with such elegance and propriety, and never showed the slightest displeasure in front of the media or his family. However, as his closest relatives, Fu Ziyu and Fu Bo felt the same way. Although he did not say it, the four siblings could still feel the sadness and sorrow flowing in Fu Heng's body.
"But Fourth Brother... do you really think I should tell Third Brother that Sister Gu died in South Africa? I'm afraid he won't be able to handle such a blow!"
"Of course we have to tell her, Gu Mingxia is..."
Fu Bo slammed on the brakes, staring at Fu Ziyu in disbelief, his face filled with astonishment. He reached out and touched Fu Ziyu's forehead.
"Yuyu, what nonsense are you talking about? Don't say that in front of Third Brother. He has such deep feelings for Gu Mingxia. If you say anything like that in front of him, Third Brother will be furious with you!"
“I hope it’s not true! These past few days I’ve been going to Maoguang to find Yuhao, trying to get information about Sister Gu out of him. Every time, he says that Sister Gu went on a business trip to South Africa with that President Xiao. But when I went to see him tonight, he looked sad and dragged me to a bar to drink. After I got drunk, I asked him twice, and each time he said that Sister Gu was bombed to death in South Africa!”
Considering Liang Yuhao's various actions, Fu Ziyu believed that he was not lying, because there was no need for him to!
"So, do you think we should tell Third Brother?"
“I think it’s better to tell him. He loves Sister Gu so much. He lost her once seven years ago because of the family business. This time… I don’t think I should keep it from him. If Sister Gu really dies, at least Third Brother should go and see her off. Otherwise, it will be a lifelong regret for him when he finds out!”
Fu Bo didn't speak, clearly agreeing with what Fu Ziyu said. However... such news seemed a bit cruel to his third brother. He hadn't even started pursuing Gu Mingxia yet, and he already received the news that she had died in South Africa. Fu Bo felt that if it were him, he would definitely go crazy!
"But Third Brother..."
"Fourth Brother, stop talking. I've made up my mind. I must tell Third Brother!"
When Fu Ziyu got out of the car, she looked at Fu Bo seriously. If Fu Heng didn't tell her about this, he would only be angry and resentful, and would never be grateful to her!
"Then please put it more tactfully. I'm really worried that Third Brother won't be able to handle such a blow!"
"You think I'm like you, Third Brother? You think one breakup can make you depressed for years!"
Just as Fu Bo was about to get angry, Fu Ziyu made a face at him and ran towards the villa's living room. Upon entering, she saw Fu Heng playing chess with Fu Hongchang. Fu Ziyu was about to speak when Fu Bo pinched her arm, signaling her to be quiet.
"What's going on with those two acting so suspiciously?"
Fu Heng moved the chess piece forward one step, then smiled at Fu Hongchang, "Checkmate! Daddy, you've lost again!"
"Sigh, Daddy's getting old. I can't even beat you at chess anymore!"
Fu Hongchang was always proud of his five sons, especially his third son, who was exceptionally intelligent and precocious. He was both proud and worried; excessive intelligence was a source of worry. He only hoped his sons would grow up healthy and happy; whether they were particularly intelligent or had exceptional business acumen was not something he truly cared about.
"Daddy isn't old at all, he's still very young! You must be letting Third Brother win, otherwise, how could Third Brother, with his terrible chess skills, possibly beat Daddy, who is known as the ever-victorious general?"
Fu Ziyu ran over and squatted down, hooking her arm around Fu Hongchang's elbow. Her smile was absolutely sweet. Her words warmed Fu Hongchang's heart.
"You're the best talker, Yu'er. Daddy really didn't spoil you for nothing!"
"Of course, daughters are their fathers' little darlings!"
As Fu Ziyu spoke, she kissed Fu Hongchang on the cheek. Fu Hongchang laughed heartily. He then noticed that Fu Bo looked preoccupied and knew that the siblings had something to say, so he smiled and spoke up.
"You siblings chat, I have to go upstairs and watch those melodramatic shows with your mom, otherwise she'll make me sleep on the floor tonight!"
After saying that, he got up and went upstairs. Fu Heng only got up when he heard the bedroom door on the second floor close. He put his hands in his pockets and had an elegant and proper smile on his face.
"Speak, what do you want to say to me?"
Fu Ziyu and Fu Bo exchanged a glance. Finally, Fu Ziyu swallowed hard, took two steps forward, and spoke cautiously.
"Third Brother, I heard from Liang Yuhao that Sister Gu... Sister Gu was... killed in a bombing in South Africa..."
Something suddenly exploded in Fu Heng's mind, leaving him feeling completely blank. The whole world seemed to have disappeared, with only Fu Ziyu's words echoing in his ears.
Gu Mingxia was killed in a bombing in South Africa... Gu Mingxia was killed in a bombing in South Africa...
No, that's absolutely impossible, he won't believe it!
The more distressed he felt inside, the more elegant his smile became. Fu Heng's hands trembled incessantly in his pockets, but his face remained unchanged.
"Yuyu, what nonsense are you talking about? Didn't Liang Yuhao say that Mingxia is on a business trip in South Africa?"
"...He said that when he was drunk tonight, Third Brother...are you...alright?"
“How can drunken words be taken seriously?” Fu Heng said elegantly and gently, but there was a deep sadness in his eyes. He turned to look at Fu Ziyu, reached out and pinched her nose, and still spoke in a gentle voice.
"In this world, if anyone dares to harm Mingxia even slightly, I will make them taste my Fu Heng's revenge, even if it costs the entire Fu family! No one can hurt the woman I love, no one!"
I am the willful little Hengheng
