Chapter 9: Old Melon
Early in the morning, just as the two finished breakfast, the doorbell rang.
Xiaofu went to open the door and brought someone in. Fu Shengyan looked and saw that driver Yu, who also served as his secretary, had arrived.
Driver Yu nodded at the two of them and said to Lin Zhihua, "Boss Lin, are we heading to the hospital now?"
Yu Yao now works part-time as Fu Shengyan's personal assistant, so he follows him to the hospital, helping with registration and running errands.
In order to prevent any health risks, Lin Zhihua simply gave Fu Shengyan a full body check-up.
It will take some time for the examination report to come out. Lin Zhihua was bored and leaned on her husband, browsing her phone. The conversation between a couple next to her attracted her attention.
"Shaochen, it's all Ying'er's fault. She can't give birth to an heir to the Gu family for you." A strong smell of tea wafted over, and Lin Zhihua subconsciously turned her head to look, and saw a woman in a white chiffon dress biting her lower lip tightly, lowering her head with a sad and pitiful look.
"Don't cry, Ying'er. Whether you have children or not, you are the only woman I, Gu Shaochen, love." The magnetic voice was very affectionate, and the content of the words shocked Lin Zhihua so much that she thought it was some young couple playing tricks.
"After I get back, I'll ask Secretary Wang to give her a divorce agreement."
Lin Zhihua had an impression of the man who was speaking. He was the young master of the Gu Group and also Ye Qianxi's former boss.
Scumbag.
Lin Zhihua complained silently in her heart, and there was a hint of contempt in her eyes when she looked at him.
Gu Shaochen stroked Bai Qingying's hair, his eyes so gentle that they could drown people. "Anyway, she has given birth to an heir to my Gu family. I have done what I promised Grandpa."
"There is no longer any obstacle between us. Ying'er, wait for me a little longer. After the divorce, I will openly bring you back to the Gu family."
Bai Qingying was deeply moved. She raised her little face and a smile blossomed on the corner of her lips. "Shaochen, I will never have children in this life. I will definitely treat An An as my own."
"Ying'er," a trace of heartache flashed in Gu Shaochen's eyes, and he hugged the woman tightly in his arms, "I will also give you a grand wedding." The two hugged and kissed each other as if no one was around.
Lin Zhihua: "..."
She moved her lips, but swallowed the curse words that were about to come out of her mouth.
She had also heard about the marriage of the heir apparent of the Gu Group, but the identity of this young lady, Mrs. Gu, was shrouded in mystery, and the couple hadn't held a wedding. She was only told that she came from an ordinary family and had never appeared in public or in the media since her marriage, nor had she attended any gatherings.
Unexpectedly, there was such a reason. It turned out that the prince already had a girl he loved, and was forced to marry someone else due to family pressure. Lin Zhihua scoffed at such men.
"Who is this guy? He's so arrogant even though he cheated on her." Fu Shengyan whispered in Lin Zhihua's ear, and the breath he blew made her ears itch. "You must do everything you can to marry someone you like. He gave in so easily. It seems that he doesn't love that lover that deeply."
Lin Zhihua nodded in agreement. Look, even eighteen-year-old high school students understand this truth, and some people still claim to be affectionate.
"Our A'Yan is still the one with the right values." She raised the corners of her lips. Fu Shengyan has been following her around since he was a child and went to public schools. He didn't hang out with these princes. Look how well she raised her child.
Fu Shengyan puffed out his chest and continued gossiping with Lin Zhihua, "I can't hang out with those dandies. Some time ago, I heard that a young lady from the Bai family was having affairs with young masters from several families at the same time. This got to the ears of one of the old men, and she was eventually forcibly sent abroad."
Lin Zhihua blinked, "Did Mr. Gu send the person away?"
"Zhizhi, you can guess this?" He widened his eyes in surprise, his admiration was beyond words.
Lin Zhihua pointed forward and said, "Here, the protagonist in the rumors."
The seven years that Fu Shengyan mentioned had already passed. Bai Yueguang should have returned to China long ago. Is it so difficult to guess who was the one who broke up the couple?
She knew about Old Man Gu. He was once a powerful figure in the business world, but unfortunately, his wife passed away early, and he was too busy with business to take good care of his only son. His son spent his days in debauchery, which had drained his body away, and he died before he reached forty. Now, Gu Shaochen was the only child left in his family. The old man reflected deeply on his mistakes and decided to discipline his grandson properly.
Unfortunately, my grandson seems to look a little crooked.
At least the eyesight is not very good.
"Mr. Lin, the test results are out." Yu Yao came over with a report. Lin Zhihua shifted her attention back to her husband, and she put this little matter behind her.
When Lin Zhihua came out of the clinic, her cell phone rang. It was Ms. Yun calling her.
"Zhizhi, are you off work?" Yun Yueyao's clear voice came from the other end of the phone. "Are you back for vacation? Uncle Xu sent a mandarin fish. Your dad kept it in a tank and is waiting for you two to come back and try it."
Lin Boyu's gentle voice also rang out, "Come back soon, baby. If you delay for a few days, the fish will become thin."
"I'm back, Mom and Dad." Lin Zhihua responded and glanced at the date. It was almost the weekend.
After she married Fu Shengyan, the Fu couple traveled around the world almost every month, and they would occasionally go back to the Lin family on weekends to have a meal.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhihua remembered that she had not yet told her parents about Fu Shengyan's amnesia.
Fu Shengyan stood there at a loss.
"Squeak, should I buy anything for Aunt Yun and Uncle Lin?"
"Just bring some fruit. We often go back for meals, so there's no need to make a big deal."
After she finished speaking, she suddenly thought of something, pursed her lips to suppress a smile, and looked up at Fu Shengyan, "Ayan, you are not nervous, are you? You even have a room in my house, what's the difference between it and going back to your own home."
Fu Shengyan's face suddenly turned red, and after a long pause he finally said, "How can this be the same?"
In the afternoon, Fu Shengyan returned home with a heavy heart.
While Lin Zhihua was still at get off work, he sneaked into the master bedroom and carefully looked for any place in the room where he could hide anything.
He remembered that he had handed in his salary card, and there was not much money left in the balance. Based on Fu Shengyan's understanding of him, he must have secretly hidden some private money.
The most dangerous place is the safest place.
He fumbled around the bedside and pressed something, but the headboard fell down, revealing a secret compartment on the back.
Fu Shengyan:!
He couldn't wait to open it. There was a locked notebook inside. Fu Shengyan had the habit of writing a diary since he was a child. This should be his notebook. He tried several passwords in a row but couldn't open it.
Time was running out, so he put the notebook back into the secret compartment, restored the bedside, and began to search other places.
The bedside table was very spacious, and besides some unspeakable things, there was only a menu in it.
Fu Shengyan flipped through the list. Most of the dishes on it were hand-painted. The handwriting looked a little familiar, but the prices were shockingly low. For example, a plate of braised prawns only cost five yuan.
There was everything from home-cooked dishes to desserts and sweet soups. Fu Shengyan quickly flipped to the end. He wanted to order takeout for dinner tonight, but he searched for a long time but couldn't find the restaurant's address and contact information.
It might be a private restaurant that only serves certain customers. Fu Shengyan temporarily dismissed this idea and went to look in other rooms.
In the end, he only found half a pack of cigarettes in the guest room closet.
Fu Shengyan couldn't believe it. He didn't even hide a single penny of his own money?
"It shouldn't be." He pondered for a moment, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and his eyes fell on the key to the Fu family villa.
*
In a villa area.
Song Lansheng gently placed the sleeping baby in the confinement nanny's arms.
"Madam, would you like to save some food for Mr. Gu tonight?" Aunt Yun was transferred from the old house by Mr. Gu. She has worked in the Gu family for many years and can be said to have watched Gu Shaochen grow up.
"No need, he won't be back today anyway." Song Lansheng laughed at himself.
Aunt Yun felt very distressed to see her like this and couldn't help but sigh.
As someone who had spent several years in the Gu family, she knew the reason for the young master and his wife's marriage. Old Master Gu wasn't particularly fond of his grandson's wife, but he genuinely despised the young lady from the Bai family. Upon discovering this, he sent her away and forced the young master to forbid any further contact.
The young master had indeed been quiet for a few years since then. Ever since Old Master Gu fell ill last year, he had been quietly recuperating in the old house, not caring much about what was happening outside. It was around that time that the woman from the Bai family returned, and once she returned, the young master's attention was completely drawn away.
After the lady found out she was pregnant, the young master never stayed overnight in the villa again. Every time he came, he would leave after just a short while.
In the past two years, she could also see that the Madam really liked the Young Master, and the Young Master treated the Madam...
Aunt Yun shook her head and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
A message came to my phone from an unknown number: "Don't covet what doesn't belong to you."
Song Lansheng lowered his eyes and silently deleted the message.
She knew who it was from.
The beginning of love is generally similar. At a charity auction, her painting happened to be bought by him.
This handsome, wealthy man was indifferent to the outside world, but he was incredibly attentive to her. He meticulously remembered her preferences and catered to her every emotion in public. Believing she was special in his eyes, Song Lansheng fell head over heels in love with him.
Later I learned from his friends that he was nice to her only because she looked 50% like his white moonlight.
She broke down and questioned him, and Gu Shaochen admitted it frankly, but she lost her mind and thought that she could definitely replace Bai Yueguang's position in his heart.
She learned to be extra nice to him, to cook for him, to prepare surprises for him, to cater to all his preferences, including some excessive requests that she was too embarrassed to speak of.
They did have a happy and sweet time together, but after Bai Yueguang returned home, she became a complete joke.
Disheartened, she wanted to leave, but she unexpectedly found out she was pregnant. The child was innocent, so Song Lansheng softened her heart. She endured the shame and stayed, thinking that she could at least wait for the child to be born. After the child was born...
The sound of the cell phone dinging interrupted Song Lansheng's thoughts.
Secretary Wang: Divorce Agreement.docx
Secretary Wang: Madam, please take a look at it first. If there is anything that needs to be negotiated regarding divorce compensation, please tell me.
Song Lansheng opened the dialog box with trembling fingers.
Sheng Sheng Busi: Why doesn’t Gu Shaochen come over?
Secretary Wang: Mr. Gu is not coming in person because the company is too busy. If you think it is okay, I will bring the documents for you to sign?
Song Lansheng took a deep breath.
Sheng Sheng Busi: I will not sign this divorce agreement.
