It's probably because life has rarely been going smoothly during this period.
When Fu Qichuan was mentioned again, I was stunned for a moment, as if I was separated from him.
These days, I and Ruan Nanzhi, who was trapped in painful struggle and internal friction, have become two people.
Zhou Fang pinched my face and asked, "What are you daydreaming about?"
"No."
I shook my head, unable to describe my feelings, and followed up on his question, "Is this girl related to Fu Qichuan?"
I know a little about Fu Qichuan's power and its expansion into Jingcheng.
It was unreasonable, yet also expected, that he would help Zhou Fang.
He wasn't a bad person after all.
One could even say that he was a good man, a good boss, a good grandson, a good adopted son, and a good stepbrother... but he was not a good husband.
The world where I am the only one hurt is reasonable.
Zhou Fang was full and relaxed, yet his upbringing was evident. He pulled out a napkin and said frankly, "It's a bit complicated to explain. To put it simply, Fu Qichuan did me a favor and temporarily stopped Zhou Huasheng from wanting to continue supporting Zhou Yan's rise to power."
"In other words, Zhou Hua..."
I followed his words, then thought about it and changed my tone since he was my dad after all. "Will your dad give you any more trouble in the short term?"
"You could say that."
Zhou Fang raised an eyebrow, a hint of coldness flashing across his eyes. "He married my mother out of greed for profit. Two months ago, he suppressed me and supported Zhou Fang in order to hold on to his own power. What he wants is not a son, but a puppet."
Hearing this, I felt a little distressed.
It's not surprising, though, that after all these big families fought for power and profit, there was very little love left for their children.
Zhou Huasheng was the only heir to the Zhou family, and naturally took over the Zhou family. He unscrupulously enjoyed the pleasure brought by money and power, but he was old after all! The Zhou family needed a new leader.
In Zhou Fang's generation, Zhou Fang was the only legitimate heir. His illegitimate children couldn't even be included in the Zhou family tree, let alone inherit the family.
But he and Zhou Fang had been strangers since he cheated on her and betrayed her mother. Once Zhou Fang came to power, he would not be able to continue his previous life. After all, whoever was in power was the father.
He talked about his relationship with Zhou Fang, and Zhou Fang could just list his illegitimate children. This was why he went to such great lengths to support Zhou Yan's illegitimate son to take the throne.
Compared to Zhou Fang, Zhou Yan needs to rely on him, and Qi Ci is more like a filial son who can obey him.
I held Zhou Fang's hand, the one with sharp knuckles. "Zhou Fang, no matter what, I just want you to be safe. If your father and Zhou Yan ever come back, don't confront them head-on. Even without the Zhou family's power, we can still live well."
I said as if making a promise: "Your mother and Momo will both live well."
Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou naturally had nothing to worry about. No matter who was in power, they could spend their remaining years in peace.
Zhou Fang was slightly startled, then laughed, "What do you mean? Ruan, are you going to support me and our whole family?"
“…You can understand it that way.”
I touched my nose and said a little embarrassedly, "It's just... it's just that Nancy is definitely not as good as the Zhou family. You, Auntie, and Momo may have a hard time."
The days of buying luxury cars and mansions as if they were big toys are definitely over.
It's still possible to save some money.
Zhou Fang's eyes were full of meaning. "Are you going to support me?"
I glared at him, "Isn't it okay?"
"Okay."
Zhou Fang pinched my face. I don’t know why, but he really enjoyed abusing my face.
Then, he stood up, drank the soy milk in one gulp, and put down the cup. "Then Mr. Ruan, please keep this escape route for me. If I can't make it, I'll come back to you."
"uncle!"
Zhou Zhou, who was drinking milk powder from a cup beside him, looked at him resentfully and said with a pout, "Aren't you going to work today?"
The tenderness on Zhou Fang's face faded, and he glanced at him, "Little brat, you dislike me already?"
Zhou Zhou snorted, "When you are here, your aunt is monopolized by you alone!"
Zhou Fang was driven away by Zhou Zhou.
After sending Zhou Fang into the elevator, the little baby climbed onto me with his hands and knees together, and kissed me on the face, "Auntie, who do you like more, me or uncle?"
“…”
I laughed, "I like you, I like you."
——I love your uncle.
…
The night is like water, the top club in Jiangcheng.
Located in a quiet area amidst the hustle and bustle, it is a membership-based restaurant, with a membership card costing up to seven figures.
This seven-digit amount is just for getting an admission ticket, which allows you to enter and exit the club freely. Expenses are calculated separately!
Membership cards cannot be transferred or returned.
Just this one rule clearly divides the classes, and ordinary people can only observe from the outside.
At the corner of the corridor, Liu Feng looked at the woman dressed as a club waitress and nodded with satisfaction. However, he still asked with some concern, "Do you know what your purpose is?"
"Know."
The woman's palm-sized face had a calm expression, yet a hint of coolness. "Stay with President Fu."
In other words, become Mr. Fu's woman.
Liu Feng smiled. "That's all I need to know. You only have one chance tonight. If you succeed, I'll cover all your mother's medical expenses. Or, with a simple wave of Mr. Fu's hand, you'll have everything you need! But if you fail, you know what the consequences will be."
The woman's hands trembled at her sides, knowing she had no choice. "I'm going to die."
She grew up in a single-parent family and her mother was her only relative. Her mother had heart disease all her life, but she had not undergone surgery because she had no money.
The condition of these two dogs has been deteriorating and it has reached the point where surgery is necessary.
She was so anxious that she cried every day, but she couldn't produce any money. It was at this time that Liu Feng came to her.
She seduced the man who was rumored to make Jiangcheng tremble with his stomping of feet...
She initially refused. Firstly, she had her own moral bottom line, and secondly, a man like that, what kind of woman hadn't he seen? Moreover, her appearance was not stunning, so she had no capital to seduce him.
But for some reason, Liu Feng was confident and asked her to just do it.
She carried the tray, knocked on the door and entered the private room designated by Liu Feng. The lights were dim.
Compared with other private rooms, the atmosphere in this room was not very lively. She could tell at a glance who was Mr. Fu Qichuan without even looking at their faces.
There was nothing special about Yuan Qi, his aura was too strong and sharp, just sitting there indifferently was enough to make people cautious!
Such an aura of a superior is not something that an ordinary young man can possess.
He Ting frowned, not looking at her directly, "Put down the wine and you can leave."
"OK."
The moment the woman opened her mouth, He Ting was stunned for a moment and looked at her suddenly.
Same reaction as He Ting.
There is also the silent Fu Qichuan!
The lights suddenly came on!
After Fu Qichuan saw her face clearly, a hint of gloom flashed across his eyes, but he stared at her without looking away, as if he wanted to see through her.
There is scrutiny and exploration, but also more danger.
She desperately forced herself to remain calm, and just when she was about to give up, Fu Qichuan sneered and said, "What's your name?"
"Bai Qingzhi."
