No one dared to make too much noise, for fear that the news would spread to the Zhu family.
Back in the compound where the Xu family lived, Chen Jingming was warned by Chen Jingming not to spread the fact that Ji Jianhua had beaten him. That night, Chen Jingming only told the story secretly to his mother.
Fu Yan was furious when she heard this, and gritted her teeth and said, "I originally thought that they thought 10,000 was not enough, so we would add some more money. Since that's the case, let's delay it and see who will be anxious in the end."
Chen Jingming frowned, "Mom, I think we should just forget about this matter. With Ji Jianhua making such a fuss, it's impossible for Grandpa Xu not to ask about it. You also know the prestige of Grandpa Xu in our Beicheng."
Fu Yan knew that her son was right. She had originally wanted to get the matter done without making a fuss, but who could have imagined that so many things would go wrong later, especially with the old lady involved. It was said that she was from the capital and her family background was not ordinary.
But having come this far, I just can't bear to let go.
"Let me talk to your uncle again." Fu Yan did not give in and left everything to her elder brother abroad.
Chen Jingming could see that his mother was unwilling to give up and just hoped that he was overthinking it.
The mother and son kept their mouths shut, but they couldn't prevent Chen Wanting. The next morning, Chen Xuanwei didn't see his son come out for dinner, so he asked casually. Fu Yan said that her son had something to do and would go out to eat with friends later. Chen Wanting pouted.
Chen Xuanwei laughed and said, "Your elder brother doesn't want to take you with him, so you're angry again?"
"No." Chen Wanting replied lazily, looking listless.
Fu Yan was afraid that her daughter would let the cat out of the bag, so she quickly redirected the conversation, "You said your teacher came to our Taipei City?"
"I heard that someone in the family was injured. Could it be his grandson?" Chen Xuanwei was also confused. "I went to block the way several times in the past few days but didn't see the teacher. I'll go check again today."
Fu Yan felt uncomfortable when she heard her husband being treated coldly. "How about I go with you? Isn't your wife here too? The old lady should be easy to talk to. I'll see if I can invite her to dinner at home?"
My wife has always been good at interpersonal relationships.
Chen Xuanwei agreed without thinking, "This is a good idea. Master's wife is really kind."
He thought for a moment, then looked up at his daughter and said, "Pack up and come with us."
"I won't go. I hate meeting elders the most." And she pretended to be well-behaved.
Seeing her husband getting angry, Fu Yan began to pressure her daughter. "I let you do whatever you want before, but not this time. You have to behave yourself. The Zhu family is not an ordinary family. They have a high reputation in the capital. If you can please your grandmother Zhu, your father and I won't have to worry about you in the future."
Chen Wanting also noticed his father's gloomy face, so he didn't dare to be willful anymore and agreed obediently.
After dinner, the three of them packed up and left the house under the leadership of Chen Xuanwei. On the way, they met Xu's father who was coming back from a walk outside. Fu Yan saw a hint of nervousness in his eyes, and greeted him as usual. She found that Xu's father did not mention what happened yesterday, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you three going out?" Father Xu asked kindly.
"My teacher's family came to Taipei City, so I took the mother and daughter to meet him." Chen Xuanwei's teacher is Mr. Zhu, but people in their industry don't know him.
Hearing this, Father Xu smiled and nodded, "Mr. Zhu is very prestigious, and you have worked very hard in the past few years and lived up to his expectations. I won't say much to you, just go over."
Chen Xuanwei smiled and nodded, then left with his wife and daughter.
It was not until they walked out of the compound that Chen Xuanwei turned back inadvertently and found that Xu's father was still standing there looking at the three of them with a suspicious look on his face.
Fu Yan felt relieved instead. It was the Xu family who took the initiative to come to her, so she couldn't blame them for doing something dishonest. If the matter got out, both families would be embarrassed and no one would end up well.
As for those things, no one could suspect them.
Seeing her husband's serious expression, Fu Yan asked, "Why are you so worried?"
"Didn't you notice that something was wrong with Mr. Xu today?"
"I heard that my teacher is in the hospital every day. Let's go there and see him." Chen Xuanwei had also forgotten what had just happened.
When the three of them arrived at the hospital, Chen Xuanwei quickly found out with his ability. When they went to the ward, he kept reminding them, "No wonder the teacher came here. The teacher's wife is in the hospital."
Fu Yan smiled and said, "Is it right to listen to me? Look at these supplements. They are not cheap at all when given to your master's wife."
Chen Xuanwei nodded, and raised his finger with some excitement, "Master's wife is sick, and the teacher is here. I guess Zhu Chuang is here too."
"Your teacher's son?"
"Yes, he is very capable. He did not follow the teacher's path. He has been in Hong Kong City for the past few years and has only returned in recent years. I heard that he is doing some side business there."
"That's really amazing." Fu Yan praised him, but she didn't agree in her heart. She thought that Mr. Zhu's prestige was so high, why would he go so far away and suffer the hardship on his own.
Doing business is about making money, but it is not a formal job after all, so people look down on it.
The three of them quickly arrived at the door of the ward and saw a man coming out.
He had a handsome face and walked in a casual manner, like a street urchin. Although he was dressed simply, his temperament was eye-catching. When Chen Jingwan saw him, he was stunned at first, and then suddenly pointed at him and shouted.
"It's you, why are you here?" She recognized him as Ji Ling's friend whom she met when they climbed the mountain that day.
Zhu Yaowu frowned and dug his ears with his fingers, "Why are you shouting? Can't you see this is a hospital? Silence."
Chen Wanting's eyes widened. "It's not your hospital that needs your attention."
"Wanting, stop messing around." Chen Xuanwei said lightly.
Zhu Yaowu smiled, looked at her with disdain, and finally moved his gaze to Chen Xuanwei and his wife.
Fu Yan smiled and said, "This comrade is right. It is my daughter who is wrong."
Zhu Yaowu didn't respond. He glanced at the three of them again and strode away.
Chen Wanting muttered, "No manners at all."
Chen Xuanwei shouted softly, "Wanting."
Chen Wanting pursed his lips.
Fu Yan also looked at her daughter disapprovingly. She was definitely not an ordinary person coming out of the Zhu family's ward, and her aura also showed that she was not a child from an ordinary family.
My daughter didn't show any emotion. What if she offended someone she shouldn't have offended? But it was not good for my daughter to go with her baby, so Fu Yan didn't say anything more.
Chen Xuanwei knocked on the door first, and then pushed it open when he heard someone calling him to come in.
Except for Zhu Yaowu who just left, everyone else was in the ward.
The eldest grandson was getting married, and it happened so suddenly. The family members were discussing the wedding, but when they saw the visitor, they put the topic aside.
Fu Yan is very good at talking. After just a few words, she made Old Mrs. Zhu laugh out loud.
Chen Xuanwei only found out about Master's wife's hospitalization when he arrived at the hospital. He couldn't help but ask with concern, "How is Master's wife? I heard that she was hurt by someone?"
