Chapter 089 The Eighty-Ninth Melon
"How long has it been lost? Where did it go missing?"
Inside the police station, Molly looked at the policeman who was taking notes and couldn't help but feel annoyed. Her assistant came forward and said, "Didn't we just take notes? What we want now is that you police immediately notify people to find Miss Amy. She is only four years old this year. If she gets lost, can you afford the responsibility?"
The policeman was nonchalant, a cigarette still hanging from his lips. "Why are you so nervous? What's the big deal about a little girl? Don't worry, she's probably just playing on the side of the road. Why would you notify anyone? It's been less than 48 hours."
Molly was so angry when she heard this that her eyes were dumbfounded and her face turned red from her neck to her ears. "You Hong Kong police are so irresponsible. If my daughter can't be found, you will just have to wait and see!"
The old policeman sneered, took a puff of cigarette, and exhaled, "You're scaring me, so stupid, I'm telling you, you foreigners don't think you can run rampant in Hong Kong. If it's less than 48 hours, it won't be recorded as missing. If you want to find your daughter, you can take people out to look for her yourself. Or, if you show some interest, I can help you."
Seeing Molly and her group dressed luxuriously, especially Molly with the ruby bracelet on her wrist, the old man couldn't help but have a greedy look in his eyes.
"You!" When had the secretary ever seen someone as shameless as Lao Youtiao?
When they were in the UK, all the high-ranking officials they met greeted them with smiles and even flattered them.
Molly suppressed her anger and said to the secretary: "Don't argue with him, call Tom!"
The secretary glared at the old fox and borrowed a phone from the policeman nearby.
The policeman next to them was a nice guy, and he kindly reminded them: "I think you should not wait here, it is better to go out and find someone instead of waiting here. In Hong Kong, if it is less than 48 hours, it will not be considered missing!"
Molly gave the other party a grateful smile, picked up the phone and quickly dialed the number.
The old fox sneered, kicked his knees on the table, held the pen between his nose, and staggered to watch the fun.
"Is it the Governor?" Molly asked.
She quickly explained the whole story, and the person on the other end of the phone seemed to be very cooperative. Molly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, we will wait for news."
She hung up the phone.
The old man couldn't help laughing out loud, "Is it that exaggerated? The Governor of Hong Kong and I'm the Queen of England!"
"Our wife is a royal relative, a Countess!" The secretary couldn't help but retorted in fluent Cantonese.
The old man and his colleagues all laughed out loud.
The secretary was furious, but was stopped by Molly, who said, "It's no use arguing with them. These policemen are just as good-for-nothings as the Scottish police."
Her voice was loud enough for Lao Youtiao and others to hear clearly.
The old man's face suddenly turned ugly. He sat up straight and pointed at Molly, "Who do you say is a good-for-nothing?"
Many people in the police office looked at Molly and her group unfriendly.
The policeman who had just lent her the phone was hesitant to speak. Although he felt that what Molly said was the truth, it was indeed unpleasant to hear.
With a bang.
The inspector's office suddenly opened and a white senior inspector ran out.
When he saw Molly and her group, he quickly ran over here.
"Sir, you're here just in time. These weird girls..." The old man was about to complain and cursed, but the inspector slapped him on the head, "What weird girls? Speak politely, this is Countess Molly!"
Everyone in the police station was stunned.
"Countess?" The old man looked at Molly and her group in a daze.
"Mrs. Molly, why didn't you tell us you were coming to Hong Kong? We warmly welcome you!"
The inspector stretched out his hand and tried to shake hands with Molly.
Molly said, "Just speak Cantonese. I lived here for several years when I was a kid."
"Ma'am, you are really smart. You speak so authentically." The inspector replied in broken Cantonese.
Molly had no time to be polite with him. "Sir, I'm telling you straight, my daughter Amy got lost and that's why we came to Hong Kong. She doesn't have any contact information that can be used to contact us. Please ask the police to go find my daughter. As long as they can find her, everything will be fine!"
The inspector was very excited because the Wharton family was a famous old money family in Britain. Not only were they rich and powerful, they were also relatives of the British royal family.
If I could help her a lot, I might be able to become very successful.
He immediately said: "Of course, our duty as police officers is to help citizens."
He turned around and shouted to all the police officers: "Attension!"
All the police officers in the police station came running over to gather.
Everyone's face turned serious.
Molly looked at these policemen and felt uneasy. She only hoped that these policemen were better than the Scottish police. She couldn't expect to find Sherlock Holmes in Hong Kong to help her.
The inspector quickly asked his secretary to draw a portrait of Amy and told the police to go out in groups of two to look for her.
"Um, excuse me, is there anyone here who can receive me?"
When Gu Xicao brought Amy and Lin Yuan in, they saw a group of policemen busying around like worker bees.
The police station was in a state of chaos.
Lin Yuan looked around curiously.
He saw a very pretty woman in a grey linen coat, who looked very much like Amy.
He lowered his head and patted Amy who was eating the bowl cake, "Little one, stop eating, look, is that your mommy?"
Amy looked up and her eyes lit up. It was really her mommy!
“Mommy!”
She didn't even eat the bowl of cake, but ran over and hugged Molly's legs.
Molly looked down, surprised and happy, and quickly squatted down to pick up her daughter, "Amy, it's really you, where have you been?"
Amy hugged Molly's head and pointed at Gu Xicao and Lin Yuan, "I got lost and ended up at the cinema. This beautiful lady and her silly brother said they would take me to find you."
"you?"
Molly looked at Gu Xicao and Lin Yuan.
Although Gu Xicao dressed more maturely, in Molly's eyes, she was just a little girl.
She said to the inspector: "My daughter has been found. No need to trouble you to go out and look for her. Thank you."
After saying this, she and Amy walked towards Gu Xicao, "Thank you for sending my daughter back."
"You're welcome, Auntie. Our teacher taught us to help others."
Lin Yuan was praised and puffed out his chest proudly.
Amy made a face at him.
Molly smiled, her eyes full of gratitude, but also a little confused, "But how did you know where we are?"
Lin Yuan hurriedly said: "Auntie, don't get me wrong, we are not bad people, my sister is a fortune teller, she is very good at fortune telling, she can tell everything, so she can bring Amy to see you!"
"Yes, I was wondering why you looked so familiar. Aren't you the Master Gu in "The Master Helps You"? "
A policeman recognized Gu Xicao, slapped his head and said.
"Fortune teller?" Molly looked confused.
Gu Xicao said, "I just help people tell fortunes. This time it's free. After all, I'm helping others. If you need anything next time, I'll charge you."
Molly smiled when she heard this.
She glanced at the secretary.
The secretary understood, took out a roll of British pounds from her bag and handed it to Gu Xicao.
Molly said, "Although I don't know what you mean by fortune-telling, I can see that you have good intentions. This is a little gift from me. Please accept it. Don't be polite. Without your help, I don't know how long it would take to find Amy."
Molly said, hugging her daughter tightly in her arms.
Gu Xicao didn't take it, but shook her head and said, "Let's put it this way. We agreed not to pay this time, so we don't want any money."
The secretary looked surprised and kindly reminded, "This is 10,000 pounds."
This is no small amount of money.
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "My sister won't take it no matter how much money you offer."
Amy shook her head helplessly, like a little adult: "Silly boy, if you have money you can buy lots of delicious food. Pretty sister, don't be polite with my mommy, my mommy is very rich."
Gu Xicao was amused.
Amy is really a smart little girl. "Your mom is very rich, and your sister is also very rich. Since you and your daughter are reunited, let's go."
She patted Lin Yuan's head and signaled him to go home.
The secretary and others were very surprised to see that the two of them were just there to see someone off and leave without caring about the reward at all.
"Wait a minute!" Molly put her daughter down and chased after him. She looked at Gu Xicao and said, "It's not my fault that I owe anyone a favor."
She motioned for her secretary to take out a piece of paper, write down a phone number, and handed it to Gu Xicao, "This is my personal phone number. If you have anything, you can call me."
Gu Xicao took the phone, nodded to Molly, and then paused, "In fact, we will meet again soon."
Molly was stunned for a moment, but before she could ask what this meant, Gu Xicao had already walked away with his men.
The secretary couldn't help but wonder, looking at the backs of Gu Xicao and her brother, she whispered, "Madam, do you want to find out about this girl's background?"
"Okay." Molly looked at Amy who had caught up with her and thought, "This girl is very special."
The banquet that Gu Zhizhan held for Gu Xicao was very grand, and dignitaries, relatives and friends from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan were invited.
The banquet was held in the villa where Gu Zhizhan and his family were currently living.
Early in the morning, Wang Xueli had a long face.
Yan Qin came up to check if her daughter was ready, and saw her ugly face. She immediately asked the makeup artist to go down, and asked the aunt to bring a bowl of porridge to her daughter. Then she looked at Wang Xueli and said, "You, your thoughts are all on your face. If your grandfather Gu sees it, he will be unhappy."
Wang Xueli stamped her feet in anger and threw the banquet bag to the ground. The diamond sticker on it fell off. "He is unhappy, but I am not happy either. My coming-of-age ceremony was not held so grandly. Grandpa Gu is really partial. If it is not his biological granddaughter, it will not do."
Yan Qin was not very happy either.
But she knew that the family situation was complicated now. If Wang Xueli wanted to take over the Wang family company, she would probably need Gu Zhizhang's help.
Those executives and shareholders will not support Wang Shirley just because she is the granddaughter of the Wang family.
However, at present, Wang Xueli has a greater chance of winning compared to Gu Xicao, the granddaughter who showed up midway.
"Shirley, don't be silly. So what if today is her party."
Yan Qin hugged her daughter, patted her, looked at the mirror, and said meaningfully: "Mom specially invited Countess Molly to come here today. With her coming to our party, it is still uncertain who will be the host of this party."
"Mrs. Molly?!"
Wang Xueli cried out in surprise. She covered her mouth and was overjoyed. "Mommy, did you really invite her?"
Yan Qin smiled and nodded: "Mommy asked someone to help, and Madam Molly happened to come to Hong Kong for something, so she agreed. However, there is no need to tell others about this. As long as other people see that Madam Molly came for us, no one would bother with that little girl Gu Xicao."
Wang Shirley seemed to be thinking about something, then smiled and nodded.
"Stream grass."
Gu Zhizhan saw Gu Xicao coming from afar and breathed a sigh of relief. He walked forward and the others followed him, looking at Gu Xicao, the legendary granddaughter of the Gu family, inconspicuously.
"Grandpa Gu."
Gu Xicao nodded to Gu Zhizhang.
"Old Gu, this is your granddaughter. She is really pretty and looks like a descendant of your Gu family."
A person next to him smiled and nodded to Gu Xicao, showing a hint of goodwill.
Gu Zhizhang smiled and said with pride, "Although this child is young, in my opinion, she is much better than I was when I was young. But as a little girl, she has a straightforward temper. Everyone needs to be more tolerant of her in the future."
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other in surprise.
I have heard that Gu Zhizhan values this granddaughter and has given her half of his assets. When the news came out, no one believed it, but now it seems to be true.
"grandfather."
Wang Xueli brought Li Yali and others over, talking and laughing.
Gu Zhizhang's eyes flashed with surprise, then he smiled and nodded at them, "Shirley, why don't you play in there with your friends?"
Wang Xueli felt dissatisfied after hearing this.
As expected, Grandpa Gu no longer took her seriously now that he had a granddaughter.
"Grandpa, we are here to welcome Madam Molly. Madam Molly has come from a long way, so we must show our sincerity so that Madam Molly can feel at home."
"Mrs. Molly?"
Someone exclaimed, "Could it be the one from the Wharton family?"
Li Yali said proudly, "Uncle Chen, it's Mrs. Molly. Aunt Yan has some friendship with her and can't leave right now, so she asked us to come and greet her. I won't tell you anymore to avoid wasting time. Shirley, let's go."
Wang Xueli nodded, looking reserved and dignified.
She looked at Gu Xicao, smiled faintly and said, "Miss Gu, today's banquet is specially held for you, so don't be restrained."
Her tone and demeanor made her look much more like the host of the party than Gu Xicao did.
Gu Xicao smiled slightly, "Thank you, I don't feel constrained. Miss Wang is dressed very formally. When she just walked in, I thought it was Christmas."
Wang Xueli didn't understand what this meant at first. After taking a few steps, she suddenly came to her senses and turned back to point at Gu Xicao angrily: "You, what do you mean by this?"
Just as Wang Xueli was about to ask, there was a commotion at the door.
It seems like someone of important status has arrived.
Li Yali hurriedly pulled Wang Shirley, "Shirley, don't bother with her now, Madam Molly's matter is more important."
Wang Xueli took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, nodded, and hurried out with Li Yali to greet people.
Everyone on Gu Zhizhan's side saw the conflict between his two granddaughters.
The one surnamed Chen then asked tentatively, "Uncle Gu, is there any misunderstanding between Shirley and Xiao Gu?"
Gu Zhizhang smiled and didn't take what happened just now to heart at all. "It's like this when there are many children in the family. It's inevitable that there will be quarrels."
Chen was turned away, but he didn't give up yet. Instead, he asked with burning eyes, "Shirley said that Mrs. Molly was coming. Why didn't you tell us about this in advance so that we could be prepared."
"Yes," Shu Bo beside him couldn't help but say, "I heard that Madam Molly is in charge of the assets of the Wharton family. She is a very capable woman. Xiao Yan can get in touch with her. This is quite a skill."
Some people even inquired whether the Wang family had any plans to cooperate in any business with Mrs. Molly, hoping to get involved.
Everyone knows the status of the Wharton family in the UK. If you connect with them and do business in the UK, it is a sure win.
Gu Zhizhan responded to these people's inquiries calmly. He glanced at Gu Xicao out of the corner of his eye, and seeing that Gu Xicao looked indifferent, he couldn't help but feel a headache.
"Grandpa Gu."
Wang Xueli and others walked in surrounded by a mother and daughter.
The mother and daughter were dressed elegantly but not ostentatiously. As soon as they came in, Amy saw Gu Xicao. She was looking around, but suddenly she said, "Mommy, it's that beautiful sister."
Molly also saw Gu Xicao.
She remembered what Gu Xicao had said before and looked surprised.
Wang Xueli turned around and called Molly and her daughter, "Mrs. Molly, that's my grandfather and his family. Let's go over and say hello."
There was excitement in her eyes, and she was looking forward to everyone's admiration for her.
"Okay, there happens to be someone we know over there." Molly retracted her gaze and said to Wang Xueli.
Wang Xueli was stunned. Someone he knew?
She thought to herself, maybe it was Uncle Chen and his friends, so she nodded, "What a coincidence, it's fate that we meet today."
"Grandpa, this is Mrs. Molly and her daughter."
Wang Xueli led Molly and her daughter over and couldn't wait to introduce them. "Mrs. Molly, this is my grandfather, Gu Zhizhang. My grandfather is a famous businessman in Hong Kong."
Gu Zhizhang shook hands with Madam Molly and was about to introduce Gu Xicao when Madam Molly smiled and extended her hand to Gu Xicao: "Miss Gu, what a fate! I didn't expect to meet you again."
The smiles on Wang Xueli and her group's faces seemed to freeze.
Gu Xicao smiled and shook hands.
Amy stood on tiptoe and stretched out her hand: "Beautiful sister, there's me, there's me!"
Gu Xicao bent down and shook her hand: "Amy is wearing a very beautiful outfit today, and she even has a crown."
Amy blushed and turned around happily. "This is the little crown that grandma gave Amy. Amy likes it very much. Sister, is this your home? Your home is beautiful too."
Gu Xicao curled her eyes and said, "No, it's my grandfather's home. But you are welcome to come as well."
The crowd watching nearby finally couldn't hold it in anymore.
Uncle Chen asked, "Xiao Gu, how come you and Madam Molly know each other?"
The others also looked at Gu Xicao curiously. It didn't look like they had an ordinary relationship.
Gu Xicao nodded, "We met once."
Molly smiled: "It's not just a one-time encounter. Miss Gu helped me a lot. I owe her a favor."
"Shirley, look at what's going on."
Li Yali was watching from the side, her face turned pale with anger, and she asked Wang Xueli in a low voice through gritted teeth.
Wang Xueli was so angry that she said, "Don't ask me, how would I know?"
Her original intention was to use Mrs. Molly's arrival to gain face for herself, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Molly was much more enthusiastic towards Gu Xicao than towards her.
Yan Qin saw that something was wrong here, said a few words to a few relatives, and then walked over here.
"Mrs. Molly, you are here. I am so sorry that I was talking to someone just now and didn't come out to greet you."
Molly shrugged generously, "It's nothing, I had a very pleasant conversation with Miss Gu."
Yan Qin glanced at Gu Xicao, her smile faded. She secretly raised her guard against Gu Xicao and said to Gu Zhizhang, "Uncle Gu, it's almost time. All relatives and friends are here. Shouldn't you..."
"Yes, it's about time."
Gu Zhizhang came back to his senses and nodded to everyone, "Everyone, Xicao and I will leave for a moment."
He took Gu Xicao to a platform that had been prepared in advance in the garden.
Everyone had been keeping an eye on them for a while, and when they walked onto the stage, the chattering gradually stopped.
"Dear friends and relatives, I believe you all know that I, Gu Zhizhang, recently found my granddaughter, Gu Xicao," Gu Zhizhang looked at Gu Xicao with pride on his face. Gu Xicao pursed her lips, walked forward, nodded and greeted the people below.
"Although Xicao is young, in my opinion, she is very outstanding. Therefore, I have discussed with my wife that half of the Wang family's assets will be transferred to her name."
As soon as Gu Zhizhan said this, the crowd immediately exploded.
Wang's relatives couldn't help but walk towards Zhang Yan and Yan Qin, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Uncle San asked in dissatisfaction, "What's going on? Is what Gu Zhizhang said true? Is he really going to give half of his assets to that mainland girl?"
Second Aunt was also angry and said, "Yes, this is our Wang family's property. Why does he make his own decisions?"
Zhang Yan held a string of Buddhist beads in his hand and said calmly, "If you are dissatisfied, you can go up and tell Gu Zhizhang."
When everyone heard this, their faces turned red and they were ashamed and angry.
If they had this ability, they would still need to look for Zhang Yan.
Although it is nominally the Wang family's asset, everyone knows that the Wang family can become so big now all thanks to Gu Zhizhang.
If Gu Zhizhan had been a bit more immoral, it’s hard to say where the Wang family would be now.
Gu Zhizhang's business partners applauded and cheered.
After stepping down from the stage, Gu Zhizhang said to Gu Xicao, "Let me introduce you to a few people. If you want to take over these companies, you will have to deal with these people."
Gu Xicao smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Grandpa."
Wang Xueli felt particularly uncomfortable when she saw Gu Zhizhan personally taking Gu Xicao to meet people.
She couldn't help wanting to go over and make trouble, but Yan Qin stopped her: "What are you doing over there?"
Wang Xueli was dissatisfied: "Mommy, are you really not going to care about anything?"
Yan Qin said meaningfully: "You don't have to do anything in front of the public. Just be honest. Your grandma has already made arrangements."
After she said this, she found someone was looking at her. She looked up and met Gu Xicao's smiling face.
Yan Qin had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but she quickly told herself that she was overthinking it.
