The voice sounded familiar. Fu Wan turned her head and saw a face that looked somewhat familiar. She couldn't help but sigh, "Wow, Hong Kong is really small!"
She had only been there for one day when she ran into the same nemesis she had dealt with at sea before.
Moreover, next to this unjust child is his grandson whom he just met today.
"Hey, aren't you that zebra mantis shrimp? What are you doing at the beach?"
Fu Wan mimicked the other person's tone and replied. When she mentioned mantis shrimp, Xu Zhiwei's arrogant expression instantly froze. If he had to say what word he least wanted to hear recently, it would be mantis shrimp.
However, He Guoli, who was standing next to him, was completely confused and turned to ask, "Uncle, what are you talking about mantis shrimp?"
Wait, how do you know this girl from mainland China?
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhiwei forced an ugly smile. "I met her on the last voyage. This girl from the north... this mainland girl, we did business together once."
"What kind of business are you in? The zebra mantis shrimp you mentioned last time?"
Although Xu Zhiwei was reluctant to admit it, he could only nod guiltily when he met Fu Wan's ambiguous smile.
Before he came back last time, he called his nephew and told him that he had brought back a batch of zebra mantis shrimp with roe from out of town. But unexpectedly, he ended up giving all the shrimp to Fu Wan at sea to change the water and oil.
Aside from the mantis shrimp that were specially reserved for others, he himself didn't get to eat a single one, let alone the ones he promised to give to Ho Kwok-lee.
When Ho Kwok-lee asked about it, Hui Chi-wai could only make up an excuse, lying that he had been bought at a high price at sea to get away with it. Fortunately, Ho Kwok-lee ate a lot of good seafood all year round and didn't care much about zebra mantis shrimp.
Xu Zhiwei thought the matter was over and he would never see Fu Wan again, but who would have thought that he would run into Fu Wan again at the beach today.
Moreover, it's right by the sea in the port city!
Recalling the frustration he had experienced at sea, Xu Zhiwei couldn't help but grind his back teeth.
He straightened his expression and revealed a malicious smile.
"Miss Fu, what are you doing here?"
"Oh, I know, just like those illegal immigrants from the north. As far as I know, Hong Kong is cracking down hard on undocumented immigrants these days. Miss Fu, you'd better hide well in Hong Kong, or you might get arrested and thrown in jail!"
Fu Wan rolled her eyes upon hearing this.
"Oh dear, I'm so scared! Mr. Xu, why don't you call the police and have me arrested right away!"
Xu Zhiwei was speechless at her words and immediately took out some coins to go to the phone booth next to him.
"Fine, I'll fight you! You damn bitch, just you wait!"
Xu Zhiwei wouldn't feel at ease until he avenged the time when he was robbed at sea!
Fu Wan nodded fearlessly. She stood there and saw if Xu Zhiwei could call the police.
However, He Guoli, who was standing to the side, felt increasingly uneasy as he listened.
Others might not know how Fu Wan came to Hong Kong, but he did.
He had heard that He Guohua had invited a female fisherwoman from the mainland to participate in the competition, and given He Guohua's previous protection of her at the hotel, he was quite certain that Fu Wan was the fisherwoman that He Guohua had specially invited.
But if her uncle says this now, it will definitely be very embarrassing if he finds out later that Fu Wan didn't come here illegally.
Thinking of this, He Guoli quickly pulled Xu Zhiwei aside, signaling him not to make the call.
If the police really arrive later, and Fu Wan wasn't an illegal immigrant, Xu Zhiwei might also get a lecture from the police.
There are still so many people here. If I turn around and someone sees me, I'll be so embarrassed.
However, Xu Zhiwei interpreted his well-intentioned attempt to stop him as him trying to speak up for Fu Wan.
Sigh, my little nephew is good in every way, except he's too soft-hearted!
"Guoli, don't stop me! Everyone has a responsibility to build up the port city. If there are too many illegal immigrants like her, the whole port city will be in chaos. I must report her today!"
"Mr. Xu, I'm so angry! Who said Miss Fu was an illegal immigrant?!"
Xu Zhiwei had barely finished speaking when He Guohua's angry voice came from afar.
He Guohua and Xu Zhiwei are about the same age, so in terms of He Guoli's status, Xu Zhiwei can be considered He Guohua's elder.
However, Ho Kwok-wah did not acknowledge this seniority.
Moreover, Xu Zhiwei's family was insignificant compared to the He family, and Xu Zhiwei didn't dare to ask He Guohua to call him uncle.
"Miss Fu, are you alright? It's my fault, it's my fault. The speedboats today were all quite nice, and I was too busy choosing to let these flies bother you."
He Guohua gave Xu Zhiwei a warning look, then smiled and apologized to Fu Wan.
Fu Wan shook her head, abandoning her spectator's attitude.
"It's alright, waiting is boring anyway, having someone perform opera is a good way to pass the time."
These words nearly made Xu Zhiwei vomit blood in anger.
Judging from He Guohua's protective demeanor, it's obvious without even thinking that He Guohua and Fu Wan have a good relationship.
It seems that Fu Wan's appearance at the Hong Kong beach is likely related to He Guohua.
Fu Wan really couldn't be bothered with them. Since the speedboat was already booked, she turned around leisurely and prepared to go out to sea with He Guohua.
It's getting late, and if we delay any longer, Bai Qianzhou might get worried.
Just as she was about to leave, He Guoli spoke up again in a hurry.
"Hey, girls from mainland China, are you going out to sea to fish?"
Fu Wan continued walking towards the dock without turning her head. Seeing that Fu Wan ignored him, He Guoli hurriedly called out again, "Hey, I'm talking to you!"
"If you can't learn manners, then don't speak!"
Fu Wan replied casually, and He Guohua was overjoyed, giving Fu Wan a look of approval.
He has given up on communicating with He Guoli. With someone as mentally challenged as him, talking to him for even a few words could easily cause high blood pressure.
"Miss Fu...Miss Fu! Are you going out fishing at sea?"
He Guoli, who had been rebuked by Fu Wan again, felt awkward for a while. When he saw that Fu Wan was about to get on the speedboat, he couldn't help but shout.
Fu Wan nodded in satisfaction. See? She's not incapable of speaking properly, so she still deserves to be scolded.
Upon hearing this, He Guoli's eyes darted around, and he continued shouting.
"I'll go with you guys, how about we have a competition?"
"Competition? What kind of competition?"
Fu Wan became interested. She came out fishing today to try her luck and see if she could win. Fishing would definitely be more interesting if there were prizes.
He Guoli replied without hesitation.
"Call me grandpa during the competition. If you lose, you have to call me grandpa three times!"
He still harbored a grudge against Fu Wan for calling him "grandson" at noon!
Fu Wan raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but smile.
He's really just a kid; he set such a prize for the competition.
"Okay, if I win, you don't have to call me grandma, but I want that speedboat next to you!"
What's so great about empty words? For adults, the prize has to be something valuable.
"good!"
He Guoli nodded in agreement without hesitation, leaving Xu Zhiwei, who was standing to the side, dumbfounded.
No, he just bought the speedboat recently, and it only arrived this morning. Good heavens, his nephew gambled away the speedboat with just one sentence.
