Fall in love with your enemy

Continuing from the last time, I was still thinking about how to make Yu Pei'an look down on me a little bit, not take me seriously, and quietly say something bad about me that is not very important, it won't be serious, right? It would be bad to cause trouble for myself, but who would have thought that turning on the speakerphone and letting Lao Hou talk to him about reason would really ruin things.

My mind went blank at that moment. I even tried to cover the mouth of the phone, but how can a phone have a mouth? It only has two mouths! The sound was loud and clear. Covering one mouth was useless. My brain reacted quickly. I came to my senses within two seconds and ran away. I stopped at a place where there were no surveillance cameras and no one around. I took a long breath, turned off the speakerphone, answered the phone, and leaned against the wall to rub my poor feet that were running fast in high heels.

Really, if I had run 800 kilometers at this speed, I wouldn't have lost even a single point.

Lao Hou was still laughing at me from the other side, laughing so hard that he couldn't breathe. After a long time, he realized that my patience was limited, so he coughed and waved his big hand to comfort me: "It's okay, baby, you're too cowardly. What's your background and what's his background? He can get to this point today and feel so inferior. You should know how much ridicule he has suffered. He's used to it. He won't argue with you. You're just a brat, not even older than his dead son."

"Does he have low self-esteem? You and Corian both said so, but I didn't see it." I puffed my cheeks and sighed helplessly: "Besides, even if he is used to it, we don't have any conflicts. There is no need to bully him like this, right? Xin Ci is still discussing cooperation with him."

Old Hou interrupted me with a long sigh: "Let's get the concept clear. It was him who begged Xin Ci to give him a chance to cooperate. We can't change the tradition of Party A bullying people for many years. You scolded him a few times and killed his prestige. Let that little bastard stop tripping Xiao Gao and taking kickbacks."

"You called him a little bastard?" I smiled bitterly and shrugged, "Uncle, I feel that Yu Pei'an should be about your age. This term seems a bit inappropriate. Although I don't quite understand it, he is obviously the same age as my mother-in-law, how can he have the nerve to be of the same generation as Xin Ci... Are the Yu family and the Gao family ancestors related?"

The old Hou's mocking voice came from the other end of the phone again, this time even harsher than the last time: "You hit the point again, honey. I think you may have misunderstood one thing. Yu Pei'an didn't address you according to Xiao Gao's seniority. It was you, as Xiao Gao's wife, that raised Xiao Gao's seniority."

I frowned: "Me? It's even more impossible that Yu Pei'an and I are relatives. I didn't even know him before I came here."

Lao Hou chuckled and said, "I know him."

me?"

Old Hou: "Let me tell you briefly. In my family, there is a second uncle who is an official in Yingjing. He is more than ten years older than me. He is capable and has a strong background, but he also has very serious shortcomings. He likes to pretend, has a bad temper, and is very vain. He adopted a godson, who is Yu Pei'an's father, so Yu Pei'an is of the same generation as you."

Me: “Second uncle?!”

Lao Hou: "No, no, no, I call you Second Uncle, and you have to call me Uncle."

I suddenly realized what was going on, and said in a long tone: "Oh - no wonder you dare to be so arrogant! It turns out there is really someone up there!"

"Hush! Don't say such nonsense. Besides, even if it's collusion between officials and businessmen." Lao Hou stopped urgently, and took a long breath after a long while: "Don't worry, your uncle is very sensible in doing things, and it's impossible for me to affect anyone, okay? I haven't contacted my uncle for many years, but I just want to tell you that there is such a relationship. Don't be so timid in Yingjing, you can walk sideways, whoever dares to bully your uncle will be chopped into eight pieces!"

"So good? Then I'll plant a bomb and blow up the Yu family tomorrow. Can you arrange it?"

"Well... you can't be so unreasonable."

"Tsk, I guess you still don't feel sorry for me enough! You don't know how disgusting I felt after being here for less than two hours..." I curled my lips and rolled my eyes. After having the backstage, I even disliked this well-hidden place. I had to go back and roll my eyes under the surveillance camera before I felt a little relieved.

Old Hou sighed, still smiling: "Silly girl, Yu Pei'an's death is not important, what is important is that he spent a huge amount of money to build this yard and this protective wall. He has so many concubines, guess where they came from?"

I was puzzled: "Can't you just have money to get it? Why do you have to look for it yourself? If you jump in, you can grab a lot."

Old Hou spoke softly, changing his previous style. He no longer laughed and dared not to sarcastically speak. He lowered his voice and said, "He is not as charming as your uncle. His concubines are all from heaven."

"In heaven?" I was even more confused. "I have seen his wife. She is pretty, but she is not a fairy, right?"

"Think carefully about what I said, and then look at the ground under your feet," Old Hou sneered.

After a while, I took a deep breath, as if I understood something. I looked around for fear of disturbing the "gods".

Old Hou smiled and said a few words as if to comfort him, then he started talking seriously again: "Every now and then, the man from heaven will come down, he will hold a banquet, and the people above will come to see their concubines. Otherwise, why do you think so many of his concubines don't like to pay attention to him? The former are really afraid, and the latter know that the Yu family is just a big hotel, and Yu Pei'an is just someone who takes the blame. Only she knows whose child is in her belly. She hopes to have a way out, but what is the reality?"

"They will gradually become the former, because the children will eventually have the surname Yu. There are only two chances to do an identification and recognize their ancestors. The first is to die, and then ask the biological father to claim the child, and perform a ritual as if nothing happened. The second is to live past the age of 20, do an identification to let him know who the biological father is, and then record the child in the Yu family tree. Occasionally come back to see the biological mother, and then develop on their own according to the biological father's wishes. As for his biological mother, in order to protect her husband's official reputation and the child's innocence, she can only continue to stay in the Yu family and never see the light of day—"

"You don't know, someone wanted your uncle to do this before, but I didn't want to. I didn't want anyone to cuckold me by taking my woman's name. Sharing a woman with so many people, I couldn't even tell whose child it was. I was thinking, what if Yu Pei'an was no longer able to work and had to find an heir, and in the end found out that the children who survived were all other people's children? The Yu family would be completely ruined. You said that for this kind of beast, you would be at a loss if you don't scold him when you meet him, okay? Don't hold it in and make yourself sick."

I nodded faintly, then rolled my eyes towards the area with surveillance cameras, and responded to the other side: "Yes, you don't like others to cuckold you, but you often cuckold others."

Old Hou quickly changed his tone and started to scold: "Okay, okay, don't be angry - you are such a traitor. Your uncle is good to you, right? Why do you always side with your aunt? She is not angry with me for this matter anymore."

"It's because of the divorce..." I muttered quietly. I said this on the surface, but in my heart I cursed him for being so nice to me. How could he poison me if he was nice to me? He is simply the third most vicious person in the world besides my father and my second uncle. How could I be so good-tempered? It's purely because I don't have the ability to bear grudges. I sighed for this in private, but the weather was so hot that I felt dizzy. I changed my train of thought and came up with an idea that scared me: "By the way, does my uncle also attend this kind of 'banquet'? You have to persuade him! I took a look and saw that the inspection is very strict recently!"

"No, your great-aunt was the city's Taekwondo champion that year. Your uncle has the intention but not the guts to do it." Lao Hou chuckled, but was quickly pulled back by his charming little lover. I also heard a few delicate gasps from the other end of the line. I immediately frowned, and Lao Hou hurriedly pulled her back, his voice trembling: "No, no... stop making trouble! The child is still here... um, Shishi! Uncle has something else to do, so I'll hang up first!"

"Why are you hanging up? I still have things to do!" I retorted angrily.

Old Hou wanted to cry but had no tears: "Ah? Are you still reluctant to leave your uncle?"

"Who doesn't want to part with you! I'm looking for Zhizhi from my home! Give the phone back to him. If I knew it was you calling me, I wouldn't answer the call, okay?" I said these "harsh words" timidly. Obviously, Lao Hou didn't hear it and was still immersed in the tenderness of being clingy. The phone was soon returned to its owner. First there were the sounds of footsteps and then the "dong" of the door closing. I felt much more pleasant when I heard Zhizhi sighing, but who would have thought that he was also angry.

"You have something to say."

I bit my lip. "So cold? How did I offend you?"

"You didn't provoke me, just tell me directly." Mouzhi was still very simple.

I couldn't care less, so I turned into the Yu family's horse farm. It was really empty without anyone guarding it, and the surveillance camera was far away, so it shouldn't be able to pick up the sound. I was afraid that someone would read my lips, so I covered my mouth and said, "I ran into my uncle a few days ago, and he was about to collapse. Except for Pei Zhen, I could still joke with him. He didn't like me anymore, and was entangled in Yangyang's affairs. He said something like, 'A few big ones bully the small ones.' It seems that he is powerless and starts to miss the past. It's not good to just watch the show all the time. We still have to think of a way to help."

Unexpectedly, my intuition was right. Just after saying this, the cold and icy Mouzhi suddenly changed his tone. I felt him twisting his head through the screen: "Hey, you still have the time to care about this? I thought you were not going to go home. Did you know that Zuo Qiao and Zhu Wenqing went to Fu Shuyu to cause trouble early in the morning? They are making trouble for the head of a family. Fu Shuyu is almost driven crazy by them. I thought you were going to run away from home because of your rebellious period."

I was stunned, thinking of what Gao Xinci said two days ago. As a brother-in-law, he had to find something to do with Chengcheng if he didn't turn against me completely. I had to find an excuse for myself first: "I am only concerned about my second uncle and younger uncle, so I think if Gao Xinci quarrels with Chengcheng, it can not only divert their attention and not ruin my business, but also make my second uncle relax his vigilance, which is killing two birds with one stone, okay? Besides, why don't I go home? Why are you getting mad at me? I just left for four days, I will be back tomorrow."

"Hmph, I hope you can come back tomorrow, otherwise your brother will be furious. I kept it a secret for a long time, and today he finally noticed that you ran away. It just so happened that the Han family sent his wedding suit, and they said in front of the Han family that this matter should be put aside for now, and he had to wait for his sister to see."

“What?!” I let out a sharp scream of shock, stroking my chest, still in shock: “This little bastard, he thinks his sister has been living too comfortably these past two years, right?”

Zhizhi laughed: "It seems so. Anyway, you just need to hurry up. He is busy and can't take care of him. As for the younger uncle, it's not that we don't want to take care of him, but we can't. There is no need to rush. Even if he falls down completely, the second uncle won't be able to get up for a while. Let's just wait and see."

"Is William's business settled?" I raised my eyebrows.

Zhizhi couldn't help but secretly rejoice: "Of course, with Chen Changrui as a relative, Second Uncle won't have to worry about not getting involved in the dirty work. Chen Changrui is dead, and Chen Yining cut off contact with Ma Da and broke up with her. Naturally, the blame will fall on him. People always have to pay the price for their mistakes, and retribution will come from all directions."

"That's really the first good news I've heard in the new year." I showed the classic villain's evil crooked smile and faint sickly voice.

But the next second, someone said: "There is still a week until the New Year."

I was speechless and had to change the subject. I reminded Zhizhi to keep an eye on Shu Yi's body to prepare for the surgery, take care of the family, and observe the developments on the "battlefield". Then I accepted his complaints that he was like a beast of burden and hung up the phone. Turning around, I saw Gao Xinci was getting ready to leave at the door of the study not far away. I hurried over and ran into Korian and Yu Pei'an who came out to see him off. They had already said goodbye to each other, and Yu Pei'an turned his gaze to me, feeling quite gritted teeth but unable to vent.

"My daughter is so smart that she made Mr. Fu laugh. I wonder if she has graduated from kindergarten..." Yu Pei'an raised his head pretending to think, and soon lowered his head with a grin: "It seems not. Miss Fu, don't bother with a child."

I looked at his face, which was in his forties, and his eyes, which were dark and deep with no end. Even if he had a backer, I didn't want to say more. I just nodded slightly.

But the old man was too narrow-minded to let it go. He paused for a moment, stared with his big eyes, bowed and smiled: "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell Miss Fu one thing, our surveillance camera is broken, it moves, maybe it has its own thoughts, it has evolved, I hope I didn't scare you."

"It's amazing. General Yu, your joke is a bit far-fetched." Corian joked nonchalantly.

Gao Xinci didn't understand why, but he was annoyed enough just by seeing Yu Pei'an scolding me, so he immediately reached out to stop me behind him: "General Yu, I think you've got the title wrong. It would be more appropriate for you to call her General Fu or Mrs. Gao."

I saw that the situation was not good. I couldn't embarrass the Fu family when I was out. I smiled along with what he said, walked up to Gao Xinci, put my arm around his arm and gently tapped him: "Xinci, how come you are used to foreign languages ​​after living in Malaysia for a few years? It's okay to speak a foreign language to Corian, but speaking a foreign language to a Yingjing person... It's so weird. Who would pretend to speak a second language to others? Our President Yu can speak Chinese."
