Chapter 43 Fu Zheng Knows the Truth
During the lunch break, Xu Yueyao saw Fu Xiaosi coming to school and heading straight to the rooftop, and Xu Yueyao followed him.
Seeing Fu Xiaosi lying on the table with a depressed look on his face, Xu Yueyao leaned against the wall and asked, "What's going on now?"
Fu Xiaosi closed his eyes and said, "It's a mess. The company is a mess, the house is a mess, it's a mess."
Xu Yueyao asked: "Did your mother go to the company?"
Fu Xiaosi opened his eyes and sat up, "How did you know?" Although he knew that everything was planned by his mother, when the family was in chaos, his mother actually ran to the company. After knowing this, he still blamed her in his heart. Is the company more important than home in her heart?
"Your mother made this matter public in order to take revenge on your father. She also wanted to vent her anger and clear her name in the quickest and most direct way."
Xu Yueyao turned around and looked at the entire picture of the school, and continued: "But she never wanted to harm the Fu family, so when even your eldest brother fell and did not go to the company, she went to the company to take charge of the overall situation and stabilize the company's personnel. After this matter is over, your mother will quietly step down and return the company to your eldest brother. By then, because of the blessing of these two things, your eldest brother will change all his prejudices against your mother, and may even be respectful to her."
"And your grandmother will also look upon her with new eyes, and be thankful that your Fu family married such a good lady."
Fu Xiaosi was stunned after hearing this, but he inexplicably felt that she was right. This was his mother's idea and purpose. Fu Xiaosi looked at Xu Yueyao and thought of his mother. He was terrified. Why were these women so complicated? He suddenly felt very sympathetic towards his father. When he thought about if he married Xu Yueyao,...well..., he shook his head and broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't want to like women anymore. Women were too scary. Thinking of this, he stood up and ran away.
Xu Yueyao was puzzled. What was that expression on his face? She analyzed it so well, shouldn’t she applaud him?
Xu Yueyao lay in the same position as Fu Xiaosi just now, looked up and saw the blue sky and white clouds, felt the gentle breeze. Xu Yueyao stretched out her hand to feel it all. It seemed so real. Which world was real, and where would her final destination be? Xu Yueyao sighed softly, closed her eyes, and enjoyed this moment of tranquility.
In the old house of the Fu family, Fu Zheng looked at his father painfully, "Dad, you knew it a long time ago, right?"
Fu Mingyuan looked at the landscape painting hanging in the study and said, "No matter what, she is your mother. This is an unchangeable fact."
Fu Zheng shook his head at her, thinking of every birthday when he was a child. She was always absent when he needed her the most. It turned out that she was taking care of another child and another home. "She is not, she doesn't deserve it." Then he turned and left.
Fu Zheng came to the back garden, where there was a paulownia tree, which he and his mother planted when he was a child. Now it has grown into a big tree. Whenever he was in a bad mood before, he would come here and sometimes talk to the paulownia tree, as if his mother was by his side, but now he found it extremely ironic.
Fu Zheng picked up the axe and chopped it hard at the tree. The tree shook as if in pain. Fu Zheng shed tears and chopped it hard again. His mind was full of the happy times he had with his mother, and the lonely figure of him being alone in the end.
"What's that noise outside?" Madam Fu asked with her eyes tightly closed.
"Madam, it's the eldest young master. He is chopping down the sycamore tree outside." Aunt Ying said beside the old lady.
Madam Fu sighed: "Let him be, let him vent."
An Zhiyi called Fu Zheng but no one answered. She went to Fu Group to look for him, but he was not there. An Zhiyi had no choice but to wait for him at his door.
After waiting for a long time, Fu Zheng came back. When An Zhiyi saw his appearance, she covered her mouth in surprise. After just two days of not seeing him, he had completely changed into a different person, as if all his energy had been drained away.
"A Zheng, are you okay?" An Zhiyi asked with moist eyes.
Fu Zheng saw her, walked up to her and hugged her tightly, "Zhiyi, it's fake, everything is fake."
An Zhiyi hugged him and patted his back gently to comfort him.
Back in the room, Fu Zheng walked into the bathroom in a dishevel. An Zhiyi looked at him and guessed that he might not have eaten, so she ran to the kitchen and prepared to make him some porridge.
When Fu Zheng came out of the bathroom, he saw An Zhiyi busy in the kitchen. The room was filled with the smell of rice. He watched quietly. He didn't dare to say a word, for fear of ruining the warm moment he had never felt before.
An Zhiyi looked back at him, smiled and said, "Have you washed up? Come over and eat."
Fu Zheng walked up to her, gently held her face, and placed his lips on her forehead, eyes, and nose, and finally kissed her lips. The kiss was gentle and restrained at first, but as his breathing became heavier, the kiss became deeper and deeper.
"Let's get married," Fu Zheng said with a slight breath.
An Zhiyi slowly came to her senses and regained her rationality. Just when Fu Zheng was about to kiss her again, she dodged.
"I still have to go back to school, so I'll go back first. You should have a good rest." After saying that, he turned around and left as if running away.
Fu Zheng saw her leaving and his home returned to its usual quiet state. He smiled at himself and felt annoyed that he seemed to have scared her.
An Zhiyi was used to touching the peace locket on her neck and walking on the road in a daze. She was very confused now. She was not in the mood to go back to school. Thinking about inviting the little brother and Xu Yueyao to dinner today, she went straight home.
………………...
There were no classes in the afternoon, so Xu Yueyao and Zhang Beilu came to their flower shop. The aunt was gone, and only the silent boy was left in the shop fiddling with the remaining bouquets.
Xu Yueyao walked up to the boy, looked at him and said, "Let's talk."
He put down what he was saying, went to the table next to him to get a notebook, and followed Xu Yueyao upstairs.
The upstairs was a mess. Xu Yueyao frowned. It seemed that it would take a long time just to find someone to clean it.
Xu Yueyao and Zhang Beilu found a clean place to sit down: "Your name is Su Yiming, right?"
The boy nodded.
Xu Yueyao looked at him and said, "Sit down." It was tiring to look up and talk to him.
"How old are you this year?"
"18 years old."
"Where are you from? Can you briefly introduce yourself so we can get to know you as quickly as possible?" Xu Yueyao felt that the boy spoke too little.
"I don't know. I lost my memory and can't remember anything from the past. I lived with an old man named Zhang who collected scrap for two years. He passed away this year and arranged for me to stay here after his death," he said calmly.
Xu Yueyao and Zhang Beilu looked at each other, and Xu Yueyao asked in confusion, "How old are you?"
"Old Zhang calculated it based on my appearance at the time."
Xu Yueyao was shocked. This was also possible: "What's your name?"
"It's the name of the protagonist in the storybook he is reading."
"Puchi", Zhang Beilu couldn't help laughing out loud, and Xu Yueyao couldn't help but curl up her lips.
"Where do you live now?"
"Live in Old Zhang's hut," he said lightly.
Xu Yueyao sighed and asked unwillingly, "Can't you remember anything about the past?"
Su Yiming thought about it, and his memory stayed at the moment he opened his eyes and saw Old Man Zhang. He nodded and said, "I have no impression at all."
Xu Yueyao nodded, "I know, you go down first."
Su Yiming nodded, handed the notebook in his hand to her before leaving, then turned and left.
Xu Yueyao sighed. Su Yiming, a name not mentioned in the book, made Xu Yueyao fall into distress for a moment. Should she keep him or not? What if he left one day and took away all the money in her flower shop? Where could she find a man she knew nothing about?
"Yaoyao, don't you want to keep him?" Zhang Beilu asked.
"I don't know, what do you think, should we keep him?"
"I think we should not do it. Who knows whether what he said is true or not," Zhang Beilu said in a low voice.
Xu Yueyao opened the notebook in her hand, on which were neatly recorded the purchase price, selling price of each flower, and all the expenses and income of the store. The last two photos record the phone number of the flower supplier. Xu Yueyao looked through her notes for a long time without saying anything.
Downstairs, Su Yiming looked at the cloudy sky outside and it was a bit windy. He thought that it might rain in two days, so he needed time to repair the roof.
After Xu Yueyao went downstairs, she looked at the mess in the house and handed Su Yiming a thousand yuan: "We are both in school, so you should pay more attention to the store. Use this money to find two cleaners, and then you can buy some necessities and keep the accounts. If it's not enough, come to me again."
Su Yiming looked at the money she handed over and asked, "Why do you want me to stay?"
Xu Yueyao stuffed the money into his hands and said, "We are the invaders. It is our arrival that disrupted your peaceful life. You have done nothing wrong, so why should we drive you away?"
In fact, what Xu Yueyao was thinking was that he and herself were the same, both trying hard to survive in an unfamiliar environment, so why should she make things difficult for him.
Su Yiming put the money in his pocket, his eyes deepened as he said, "Thank you."
