Chapter 46. After spending a day by the sea, Fu Yansheng took Lin...
After spending a day by the sea, Fu Yansheng took Lin Zhao to the villa.
The villa on the mountaintop also offers a view of the sea. Lin Zhao stood at the villa entrance gazing into the distance, with Fu Yansheng beside her.
The hotel delivered my luggage early this morning.
Lin Zhao's room and dressing room are filled with the latest clothes from various brands. When the maid comes to clean, she sorts and hangs the clothes up neatly.
The villa was decorated according to Lin Zhao's preferences.
Lu Zhou and Ji Xing both arrived in the evening.
Lin Zhao and Fu Yansheng had already taken a stroll around the villa that afternoon.
Behind the terraced villas is the sports field, below which is a fully developed private farm, and on the top floor there is a hot spring pool where you can soak while enjoying the sea view.
After Lu Zhou arrived at the villa, Lin Zhao also told Lu Zhou about the situation in the vicinity.
Upon hearing that there was a sports field behind them, Lu Zhou immediately pulled Lin Zhao excitedly toward it.
"Let me tell you, I'm pretty good at golf."
Lu Zhou was thinking of showing off his skills in front of Lin Zhao.
But when Lu Zhou saw that the person playing golf with him was Fu Yansheng, Lu Zhou fell silent.
"Can't you let me play first?"
Lu Zhou spoke up, unconvinced.
But even if they were unwilling, there was nothing they could do.
They could only perform at their best, but still lost.
Fu Ge had already outshone him back in college.
This time is no exception.
As the days go by and the New Year draws ever closer, there are quite a few Chinese people on the island, and some people greet those of Chinese descent in a friendly manner.
Say Happy New Year to them.
As fireworks light up the island, the countdown to the New Year begins.
Everyone walked to the window at the same time, looking at the dark sea outside. Inside the mountaintop villa, Lin Zhao excitedly took out the gift.
The first gift was given to Fu Yansheng, then to Lu Zhou, and finally Ji Xing's gift was handed to Ji Xing.
Happy New Year! This is a New Year's gift!
Lin Zhao said excitedly.
Fu Yansheng then handed a thick stack of red envelopes to Lin Zhao.
Cash red envelopes are still the most suitable gift for the New Year.
However, there was a check inside Fu Yansheng's red envelope.
Lu Zhou had consulted with Ji Xing well in advance about what gifts were needed for the Chinese New Year.
So Lu Zhou gave Lin Zhao a red envelope he had prepared in advance as a New Year's gift. In addition, Lu Zhou also prepared a gift for Lin Zhao.
Ji Xing prepared a gemstone for Lin Zhao that he and Lu Zhou had chosen together.
Lin Zhao liked the color very much.
"It's a new year again!"
Lin Zhao sat in a chair, watching the fireworks on the coast.
The fireworks illuminated Lin Zhao's eyes, and Lu Zhou took out his phone to take pictures.
Consider it a memento. Ji Xing noticed that Lu Zhou sometimes had trouble taking selfies, and would even take the phone from him without any expression on his face, but the photos he took were still pretty good.
Lin Zhao and Lu Zhou took many photos together, and the results were quite good.
Fu Yansheng had been just watching from the side.
But seeing Lin Zhao praising the nine-grid photo on the travel camera, he silently took out his phone and started studying.
The New Year on the island was filled with joy, and Lin Zhao's anticipation for the new year was even stronger, knowing that her parents had not abandoned her.
Chinese people coming and going, the first thing they say to each other is "Happy New Year".
Almost everyone was immersed in the festive atmosphere of the Chinese New Year.
"The Ji family didn't invite you home for the New Year?"
Fu Yansheng looked at the messages sent by Old Madam Fu and other uncles and cousins on his phone, and then turned his gaze to Ji Xing, who was also a family heir.
Upon hearing this, Ji Xing glanced at Fu Yansheng with a puzzled expression.
She gently tapped the ring on her hand with her fingertips and spoke slowly and deliberately: "I did tell them, but they're not at the Ji family's place now."
Although Ji Xing has only been in charge of the Ji family for a short time, he is not currently the true head of the Ji Group.
But Ji Xing has been with the company for so long and has a lot of evidence against those people, so there's no need for him to suffer some humiliation.
"Is the Fu family still threatening you?"
Ji Xing realized this as soon as he heard Fu Yansheng's question.
"The old lady hasn't left yet."
Fu Yansheng suddenly spoke up: "However, the old lady will be leaving soon too."
Ji Xing did not understand what Fu Yansheng meant.
They cast questioning glances at Fu Yansheng.
Fu Yansheng didn't offer a single explanation.
Fu Yansheng's New Year holiday was not long.
On the seventh day after the New Year, Lin Zhao and Fu Yansheng began packing their things to leave the island.
The Fu family has sent Fu Yansheng a lot of messages these past few days.
Lin Zhao also sends messages to the Lin family every day.
Lin Xian would occasionally exchange a few words with Lin Zhao.
But more often than not, when Lin Zhao sent him a video, he would go back to his own room without a care in the world.
Lin Rong already knew about Fu Yansheng's actions. With just a little investigation, he could find out why Fu Yansheng was searching for the witnesses who had been switched back then and the truth.
Thinking of this, Lin Rong spoke to Lin Zhao with even more concern, asking when Lin Zhao would return.
I was already thinking that after Lin Zhao came back, I would stay at the Lin family's house for a few days.
But Lin Zhao refused again.
"Let's go!" Lu Zhou packed his things early and carried the men's backpack that Lin Zhao had given him as a New Year's gift. For a while, Lu Zhou was torn about choosing a men's backpack.
I always feel that carrying a backpack is troublesome, but I also feel that carrying a backpack looks pretty good.
Unexpectedly, Lin Zhao remembered it after only mentioning it once.
Lu Zhou patted his bag and glanced curiously at Fu Yansheng.
Even though Fu Yansheng also received a New Year's gift, Lu Zhou never saw Fu Yansheng use it.
Even Lu Zhou, who was next to Ji Xing, knew about the gift. However, Ji Xing seemed to have only taken out the brooch once and then put it away.
"Fu, what's your New Year's gift?" Lu Zhou asked softly, glancing into the suitcase in Fu Yansheng's hand as he asked.
Upon hearing this, Fu Yansheng glanced at Lu Zhou and asked, "What does this have to do with you?"
Lu Zhou snorted coldly upon hearing this.
But I was still curious.
Ji Xing pulled Lu Zhou aside, not daring to let Lu Zhou provoke Fu Yansheng again: "It's a pair of cufflinks."
Ji Xing honestly told Lu Zhou what was happening in front of him.
But Lu Zhou's eyes widened in surprise: "How did you know?"
Lu Zhou glanced at Ji Xing and then at Fu Yansheng.
I just felt that there was something wrong with the two people in front of me.
Something's not right. I have a feeling that these two have done something behind my back.
Lu Zhou couldn't understand it.
Their gazes fell upon Lin Zhao, who had just stepped out of the house.
Lin Zhao watched as the person wrapped up the painting; these were things that would be sent back.
We have to keep a close eye on everything.
Lin Zhao looked at Lu Zhou's eyes, which were filled with resentment, and then glanced at Fu Yansheng and Ji Xing, knowing that the two of them must have done something again.
He shrugged: "We can't beat them."
Before Lu Zhou could speak, Lin Zhao conceded defeat.
Lu Zhou gritted his teeth, furious.
Ji Xing patted Lu Zhou's hand, wanting to say something, but saw Lu Zhou angrily walk straight ahead without even looking at him.
The atmosphere between Ji Xing and Lu Zhou has improved considerably in the past few days, and Lu Zhou's attitude towards Ji Xing is also somewhat different from before.
If they can't be appeased now, their relationship will probably go back to what it was before.
Have a safe journey.
Lin Zhao sent a message to Kong Ning as soon as she landed.
Kong Ning originally wanted to go to the island to spend the New Year with Lin Zhao, but there was only Kong's father at Kong's house, and Lin Zhao felt that Kong Ning couldn't leave Kong's father alone.
So he agreed to Kong Ning's request and said he would visit the Kong family as soon as he returned.
“Brother Fu, I made plans with Kong Ning to go to his house today, you…” Lin Zhao hadn’t thought of anything when Fu Yansheng spoke up directly: “I’ll go with you.”
Lin Zhao blinked, somewhat puzzled.
Someone from the Ji family came to pick up Ji Xing and Lu Zhou, so Fu Yansheng and Lin Zhao didn't need to worry about them.
Lin Zhao thought for a moment, nodded, and sent a message to Kong Ning to inquire. After receiving a positive reply, he...
He went there with Fu Yansheng.
In the car, Fu Yansheng's phone kept ringing.
The driver came directly from the old house, and upon seeing this scene, he seemed hesitant to speak.
"Sir, how about we go back to the old house tonight?"
The old house has been in complete chaos these past few days. There hasn't been any peace and quiet even during the Lunar New Year. In particular, the collateral relatives have been belittling Fu Yansheng to the point of being worthless in front of the old lady, and even trying to persuade her to temporarily suppress Fu Yansheng.
Lin Zhao frowned slightly upon hearing the driver's words.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Fu Yansheng lower his voice and say, "I don't need talkative people around me."
The driver quickly shut his mouth.
I dare not say another word to the old house.
The relationship between the old house and Fu Yansheng was well known to everyone in the Fu family, and no one dared to offend Fu Yansheng at this time.
The old lady wouldn't dare, let alone a mere driver like him.
Those members of the collateral branches only dared to gossip in front of the old lady, but dared not say anything in front of Fu Yansheng.
However, precisely because Fu Yansheng had incriminating evidence against almost all of them, they dared not say anything.
Although the driver was unaware of the inside story, many things had been discussed and debated in the old house over the past two days, and he could hear some rumors about them.
After delivering Fu Yansheng and Lin Zhao to Kong Ning's house, Lin Zhao took out the gifts she had prepared.
The driver then quickly carried the luggage back.
However, Kong Ning noticed that Lin Zhao seemed a bit off, appearing somewhat timid and hesitant.
Lin Zhao glanced at Fu Yansheng beside him and immediately understood.
Lin Zhao smiled and gave the gift to Kong Ning, then entered the villa with her.
There was no one else in the villa except for someone in the kitchen.
Lin Zhao walked straight to the kitchen, looked at the man busy inside, and quickly said, "Wow! I didn't expect Uncle Kong to cook for me today. That's great, I'm really in for a treat."
Fu Yansheng also saw this scene and quickly nodded to Kong's father.
Fu Yansheng is a household name in the industry.
Father Kong never expected that Kong Ning would invite such a troublesome person to his home. His face changed drastically. Still wearing an apron and holding a spatula, he nervously spoke:
"Hello, Mr. Fu! I thought only Zhaozhao would come, I didn't expect you to come. I only prepared a few dishes, shall we go out to eat?"
Kong's father's attitude was similar to Kong Ning's; both of them were somewhat apprehensive in front of Fu Yansheng.
She didn't dare to look up at Fu Yansheng.
Fu Yansheng didn't say much, he just smiled gently.
"It's alright, Uncle Kong, we'll just eat at home."
