Chapter 229 Not a Star of Destiny
After listening to the whole story of Fu Sili being abandoned, Du Anrao and the other man were silent for a long time. Finally, Du Anrao was the first to speak and break the silence.
"Can I ask a question?"
"What's the problem?"
"Grandpa Fu said before that his eldest grandson, Mr. Fu's twin brother, was kidnapped by an enemy when he was a few years old. Is this enemy the same one that caused Mr. Fu to become homeless?"
Du Bixiao subconsciously turned her head to look at Fu Sili, and when she saw that he didn't react, she nodded: "It's likely that they are the same person."
Du Anrao frowned. This meant that Mr. Fu's enemy was ruthless enough. After failing once, he arranged a second time. The key point was that he succeeded both times.
If Fu Sili hadn't been lucky enough to be picked up and raised by his adoptive father, the Fu family would have been completely extinct in his generation.
[How deep must the hatred be to make the whole family extinct? It's scary to think about it.]
Xi Jingyue nodded in deep agreement. As the saying goes, it is better to offend a villain than a madman. When some people go crazy, you really don't know what they will do and it is hard to guard against.
"Has this man been caught now?"
"He was involved in another case ten years ago and has died."
Du Anrao: “…” Well, it’s hard to comment.
On the one hand, I felt that he deserved it, but on the other hand, I felt that it was too easy for a person who had done so many bad things to just die so simply.
But no matter what, it’s a good thing that evil people will be punished and will not harm good people again.
Otherwise, with his persistent desire to harm others, Fu Sili might be targeted again if he was recognized.
While they were sorting out the Fu family's affairs, Fu Ruixiang had already prepared the dishes they ordered.
When all the dishes were served, Fu Ruixiang appeared in the box again, accompanied by Mr. Fu and his wife, and Fu Sili's adoptive father, Mr. Fu.
"Why are you here?" Du Anrao was also surprised when he saw the two elderly people, and hurriedly stood up and went to support them.
"Rui Xiang said you brought your friends to the restaurant for dinner, so we came right away. I hope it won't disturb you too much if we come uninvited without telling you in advance?" The old lady took Duanrao's hand, and her wrinkles on her face deepened with smiles.
"Of course not. My friend and I just wanted to eat Uncle Fu's cooking when we were free. I didn't tell you in advance because I was afraid that you would make a big fuss and affect the business of the store. I didn't expect Uncle Fu to tell you and trouble you and Grandpa Fu to make this special trip."
"Kid, what's tiring about you? Our home is very close to here, less than ten minutes by car. Usually we have nothing to do, so we like to walk back home to digest our food after dinner. It's a rare occasion for you to come, so how can we not come? If you and your friends have anything you want to eat or drink, just tell your Uncle Fu, he knows a lot."
"Your grandma is right. It's a rare visit, so don't be polite to your Uncle Fu. We just brought Sili back these few days, and your grandpa and grandma's wedding is coming soon. I'm afraid we have a lot of things to do, so we didn't bring the children to find you right away. I originally planned to wait until the day of your grandfather's wedding or after his wedding to personally thank him, but I didn't expect you to come first."
Mr. Fu explained the whole matter in a few words, fearing that Duan Rao would think that they would forget her kindness after taking the child back.
How could Du Anrao not understand what he meant? He said helplessly and amusedly: "You have finally found Mr. Fu. You must have a lot to say and a lot to arrange. My grandfather has been busy recently. Fortunately, everything is on track now. Everything will get better and better in the future."
"It will get better and better in the future. It's good to have a complete family and live in peace. Your grandfather and I have to thank you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would have to go to the grave with regrets."
Seeing that Duanrao was feeling a little uncomfortable because of the overly enthusiastic greetings from the two elderly people, Fu Ruixiang hurried forward to smooth things over.
"Okay, Dad, sit down first. An An and the others haven't eaten yet."
"Yes, yes, yes, eat, eat first. It's almost one o'clock now. Don't get hungry."
The two old men seemed to have just woken up from their dream and hurriedly asked Du Anrao to sit down.
The group ate some food first to fill their stomachs. Mr. Fu, who was sitting next to Fu Sili, suddenly raised his glass and stood up and said, "Miss Du, I heard everything about your matter from Sili. If it weren't for you, I would have died a few months ago... You also helped him find his relatives, so that he could return to his home."
"I can feel at ease even if I close my eyes right now. I really don't know how to thank you. I can't drink alcohol in my current condition, so I will use tea instead of wine to thank you for your help to me and Sili."
Mr. Fu is only in his early fifties, but his hair is mostly white, and his dark face is covered with traces of time. He lost his loved ones and raised Fu Sili alone, and he also suffered from illness. All these weighed heavily on the thin shoulders of this honest and kind-hearted man, but they did not extinguish the brilliance of his humanity.
Fu Sili couldn't help but frown when he heard him say that: "Dad, what do you mean by close your eyes or not? If you say that again, I'll be angry."
Old Master Fu also laughed and said, "Si Li is right, old friend. Your illness is not a big deal. Medical conditions are so advanced now. As long as we get good treatment, we can live another 20 to 30 years. Don't worry, we still have to wait for Si Li to get married and have children, and enjoy grandchildren together. The good days are still to come."
When Du Anrao heard what Mr. Fu said, he almost subconsciously turned his head to look at Fu Sili.
Sure enough, when I saw that his expression was a little stiff and full of embarrassment, I couldn't help but feel sympathy for him for two seconds.
[Here it comes, it’s time for the elders to urge me to get married. Fortunately, I’m still young, so this kind of thing has nothing to do with me. Don’t see me, don’t see me! ]
Du Bixiao, who was a few years older than Fu Sili and had already experienced the constant pressure to get married: "..."
Xi Jingyue glanced at Duanrao, who wanted to bury himself in the plate to reduce his presence. He felt helpless and amused, but soon he also developed a sense of crisis. At his age, it seemed that he might soon enter the stage of being urged to get married.
Thinking of this, even someone as powerful as Xi Jingyue couldn't help but shudder.
Because of the presence of several elders, the meal was a bit depressing and not much serious business was discussed.
After eating and drinking, Du Anrao took Xi Jingyue away, and the Fu family members accompanied them all the way to the door.
Duanrao's eyes swept across several people and finally stopped on Fu Ruixiang, as if he had sensed something.
"Uncle Fu, I wanted to tell you the last time we met. You are not doomed to fail, you just had bad luck in the first half of your life. Now that the ups and downs have passed, your family and career are all thriving, and the family members around you are all compatible with your horoscope. Everything will go smoothly and safely, and there won't be any major twists and turns or accidents."
