Chapter 630: Homecoming
After leaving the villa and returning to the back seat of the car, Fu Zheng told the driver to go back to the hotel.
He took out his phone and replied to Special Assistant Yang, "Promise him to find a suitable time and place to meet."
Within a few minutes, Special Assistant Yang replied, "Deputy Director Li said he's free tonight. I'll pick him up at your hotel at 8 p.m., is that okay with you?"
When it comes to poaching people, you must never do it in a big way.
"There are too many people watching the hotel, let's go to the villa on Hongshan Road."
That was Fu Zheng’s property in the capital, and he didn’t live there permanently.
"good."
Special Assistant Yang should leave and remind him, "Remember to check your email."
Fu Zheng didn't reply. He found Wen Liang's phone number and called her.
The call was connected quickly.
"Fu Zheng?" A warm and cool voice came, accompanied by heavy breathing, as if he had just finished exercising.
Fu Zheng: "Aliang, what are you doing?"
"Practicing yoga..." Wen Liang took a breath and complained, "I'm sweating and exhausted after just a few sets of movements. I'm too weak."
"Didn't I advise you to stay in confinement for an extra month? Why don't you rest for a few more days?"
"It's okay. I asked Aunt Zhang and she said I can do some simple exercises." Wen Liang took two sips of water. "Why did you call me? Is there something wrong?"
"It's been so long since we last met, do you miss me?"
"...If you have something to say, just say it."
"I just came back from Huo Dongcheng." Fu Zheng's voice sounded a little low over the phone, "I met Mason."
Wen Liang hurriedly asked, "How is he now?"
Mason was in a bad state during the video call at the airport.
Over the past month, Huo Dongcheng often reported Mason's condition to her and occasionally took photos, but he was unable to see him in person, so he was always uneasy.
"It's better than I thought. It's obvious that Huo Dongcheng has taken good care of him over the past month. Apart from being shorter and thinner, he looks like an ordinary child."
"That's great, it seems that what Brother Dongcheng said is true." Wen Liang's voice revealed a hint of surprise, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter what, it was her fault as a mother who failed to fulfill her responsibilities.
She always felt guilty when she thought of Mason. Now that she knew Mason was slowly recovering, the huge rock pressing on her heart finally eased a little.
Fu Zheng's mouth twitched, and he continued, "He's just a little timid and sensitive, but he listens to Huo Dongcheng very much. With gradual guidance, I believe he can be corrected."
"Hearing you say that, I feel relieved. Did you go to Brother Dongcheng for something else, or was it because of Mason?"
"Visiting Mason."
"Why did you want to go see him?"
"I have nothing to do today, and since I thought about how you always worry about him, I left."
Hearing this, Wen Liang felt a warm current in her heart, and she said sincerely, "Fu Zheng, thank you."
"Aliang, if I have to say thank you, I should be the one thanking you. Thank you for taking Fanfan seriously."
Fu Zheng's tone was serious, and everyone knew he was committed to his words. "Mason is your child, and he is my responsibility. I promised to treat him like my own child, so I will naturally care about his growth. Mason will definitely get better slowly."
"Does he know me now?" Wen Liang asked tentatively.
"I don't know yet. Huo Dongcheng said he would find a suitable time to tell him. He is too young and has just arrived in the capital, so he can't accept too much at once." Fu Zheng replied.
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
"Aliang?"
"I feel very complicated now. Sometimes I hope he already knows about me, but I don't know how to face him."
As he spoke, Wen Liang sighed softly.
"Aliang, don't worry too much. I see Huo Dongcheng takes good care of Mason. Since you don't know how to deal with it, why not let nature take its course and take it slowly?"
Fu Zheng comforted him, "No matter what you choose, I will always be by your side to support you."
"Well, thank you. I'll think about it carefully."
After hanging up the phone, Fu Zheng leaned back in the car seat, leisurely looking at the scenery rapidly receding outside the window.
Help Huo Dongcheng ask Wen Liang?
Impossible things.
Let him ask himself.
…
Wen Liang put down her phone, drank two sips of water, and continued to practice the yoga moves that Aunt Zhang taught her.
Unexpectedly, just as I lay down on the yoga mat, my cell phone rang again.
Wen Liang got up again, picked up his phone and took a look. It was a call from Huo Dongcheng.
She answered the phone curiously, "Brother Dongcheng?"
"Aliang, did I disturb your rest?" Huo Dongcheng's voice came from the other end of the phone with a hint of concern.
"No, what's going on? Tell me, is it related to Mason?"
"Yes, how are you feeling now?"
"Thank you for your concern. I'm recovering well. I just finished my confinement a few days ago."
"It's like this. Mason and I are getting more and more familiar with each other. A few days ago, he asked me why everyone else has a father and a mother, but he only has a father. I was helpless and could only try my best to comfort him, saying that his mother would come to see him soon." Huo Dongcheng smiled helplessly, "If you can't come, I will take Mason to Jiangcheng. Coincidentally, he stays at home all day studying with his teacher and is a bit bored, so I plan to take him out for sightseeing."
Expect Fu Zheng to ask Wen Liang?
I definitely don't expect it.
Huo Dongcheng chose to ask in person.
Wen Liang hesitated for a moment.
"Is there anything difficult?" Huo Dongcheng immediately explained, "Don't worry. Although Mason is physically weak, he is very intelligent due to his own experience. After you meet him, tell him the truth and come back. He will understand."
Hearing this, Wen Liang's heart tightened.
Although Mason is young, he has suffered a lot and has a sensitive and timid personality, but he is mature and sensible.
He understands everything, whether his parents love him or not.
At that moment, Wen Liang thought of herself when she was young. Although her father loved her very much, she still wanted to have a mother of her own to give her care and love.
"No, Brother Dongcheng, it's just that I haven't been to the studio in a while, and I've been a bit busy these past two days." Wen Liang's voice was filled with a hint of apology. "I'm Mason's mother, and he's my responsibility. I was thinking about this, but since you brought it up, I'll go to Beijing tomorrow and stay there for a few days."
"Okay, Aliang, just agree."
Huo Dongcheng's voice was filled with joy. "I think Mason will be very happy to see you. By the way, did you know that Fu Zheng came to visit Mason today?"
"I know. He just told me."
Huo Dongcheng paused and smiled, "That's good. He was very thoughtful and prepared a game console for Mason. Mason likes it very much."
As expected, Fu Zheng did not ask her about visiting Mason, otherwise she would not have reacted like this when the call was connected.
"That's good, Dongcheng brother. I'll get ready first. See you tomorrow."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Wen Liang felt a little nervous and uneasy thinking about the upcoming meeting.
I guess this is what it means to feel homesick when you're close to home.
