Chapter 426 Jiang Kai Gets Beaten
Not knowing who was calling, An Xiaoyue answered the phone and introduced herself.
"Hello, this is Fu Jinyun's home."
After she finished speaking, there was no sound from the phone.
She waited a few seconds, but there was still no sound from the phone.
The landline screen displays: "Calling in progress."
Was the person making the call a friend that Grandpa hadn't contacted in years?
She raised her voice and spoke again.
"Hello, can you hear me? I am An Xiaoyue, Grandpa's granddaughter-in-law. Grandpa is in good health. Should I go and call him?"
The other party hung up the phone immediately after she finished speaking.
The beeping sound came through, and An Xiaoyue stared at the receiver in her hand, looking completely bewildered.
She thought about telling her grandfather that someone had called the landline in his study.
But Grandpa and Uncle were talking about a forest-themed campsite.
The land I found at the hot spring hotel during New Year's Day has already been leased to the village, and the next step is planning and design.
They were in high spirits, and Teacher Zhong also spoke enthusiastically.
An Xiaoyue thought she should tell Grandpa later.
The striking of the clock at twelve signifies the arrival of the New Year.
As soon as the New Year's firecrackers were set off, everyone in the Leng family and Zhong Lingxi's family of three either went home or returned to their hotels.
After seeing everyone off, An Xiaoyue and Fu Shengyang took care of Fu Jinyun, helping her wash her face, brush her teeth, and soak her feet.
An Xiaoyue originally wanted to talk to her grandfather about the landline in the study.
Grandpa looked exhausted, and she thought it would be the same to tell him after dawn.
Before going to sleep, An Xiaoyue was still thinking about the landline.
She had never heard her grandfather mention having any close friends besides Grandpa Leng.
Who could have made that call?
A name then appeared in my mind.
Fu Yixiu.
Sheng Yang's father, her father-in-law.
Could it be him?
Why would someone who hasn't been in contact for over twenty years suddenly call your home phone?
During the period when her grandfather was in poor health, he gave her some instructions.
Every year on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, 200,000 yuan is deposited into Baoguang Temple's bank account as incense money.
This year's incident was handled by her, using her bank card.
Is that why my father-in-law called to confirm?
After hearing that her grandfather was in good health, she hung up the phone.
Was it because the payee suddenly changed, and he thought his grandfather had passed away, so he called to confirm?
Since he made the phone call, does it mean that even though he lives at Baoguang Temple, he is still keeping up with news about the Fu family?
Now, with the times changing, the rules and regulations for monks are not as strict as before, and they can use mobile phones.
The more An Xiaoyue thought about it, the stronger her feeling became that the other person was Fu Yixiu.
She stole a glance at Fu Shengyang, who was washing up.
A little tune escaped his lips as he carefully applied face cream.
It was clear that he was in a very good mood.
She had already tested Fu Shengyang back when it came to the matter between Chu Jinhuai and Chu Xiao.
"What a pity between Uncle Chu and Brother Chu."
Fu Shengyang's original words at the time were,
"What's there to regret? Lao Xiao has suffered so much since he was a child, and who has ever thought about him? What? Does Uncle Chu's decision to grant him euthanasia erase all of Lao Xiao's suffering? Does it turn Lao Xiao into an unfilial and disloyal person?"
At this point, she understood that her father, who had been absent from Sheng Yang's life for more than twenty years, had become someone with whom she had no relation except for blood ties.
Therefore, she did not intend to tell Sheng Yang about the matter of the incense money.
Just like Grandpa said, he only told him after he found out.
Otherwise, I will never say it.
This time is no different. Even though the person calling will most likely be Sheng Yang's father, she doesn't plan to tell Sheng Yang.
If something really happens to the other party, the relevant personnel will contact the Fu family again.
An Xiaoyue didn't tell Fu Jinyun about the landline in the study.
Right after the Spring Festival, Ji Yubai and Zhong Lingxi officially held their wedding.
Zhong Lingxi, who originally wanted to keep a low profile, couldn't resist the strong insistence of her parents and agreed to have the wedding ceremony broadcast live.
Considering the identities of the wedding guests, the wedding ceremony was also broadcast live.
All advertising spaces in Xinglifang in Beijing were switched to live wedding broadcasts.
This means Zhong Lingxi is getting married.
Not only do the people of Beijing know about it, but netizens all over the country do too.
During the wedding ceremony, Hua Lan, who had rushed back, sat next to An Xiaoyue and muttered to herself.
"Lingxi's wedding dress is so beautiful."
"Yes, that's right."
Hua Lan stared intently at the newlyweds exchanging vows on the stage, happiness spreading through her chest.
She has already attended the weddings of two close friends, and her own wedding...
Hua Lan withdrew her gaze and met Chu Xiao's smiling eyes.
That glance was full of love.
Hua Lan's cheeks flushed, and she lowered her head to hide her emotions.
Chu Xiao had said that he would wait until she graduated from university before they could get married.
Getting married now would only add to the burden on her already limited mind, which is already unable to multitask.
She believed Chu Xiao's words.
Because she has self-awareness.
Amidst the festive wedding music, An Xiaoyue felt her phone vibrate in her handbag.
It's Fu Shengyang's phone.
An unknown phone call from Beijing.
Fu Shengyang also noticed someone calling him. "You stay here, I'll answer and come back."
He picked up his phone and walked towards a quiet place.
Even after the ceremony ended, Fu Shengyang was still on the phone.
Lucky squirmed and squirmed in her grandfather's arms, a little restless.
Leng Shi had no choice but to do as his grandson wished and take him around.
"Honey, Mom and I are going to take Lucky for a stroll. You wait for Sheng Yang, and come find us in a bit."
“Okay, Mom and Dad,” An Xiaoyue replied obediently.
Fifteen minutes have passed.
An Xiaoyue watched Fu Shengyang's retreating figure as he answered the phone, her heart inexplicably filled with panic.
Her intuition was always accurate; she had a premonition that something bad was about to happen.
Could it be my father-in-law, Fu Yixiu?
As she was lost in thought, Fu Shengyang, holding his phone, walked towards her.
Fu Shengyang's face was grave, and the sinister look in his eyes was impossible to ignore.
An Xiaoyue went up to him and took his arm with both hands. "What happened?"
"Jiang Kai... was beaten up in prison."
"How are things now? Should we go take a look?"
Jiang Kai's parents, Jiang Mianzhi and Fu Wantang, have passed away due to a romantic entanglement.
Jiang Kai's cousin, Ruan Jingyi, has also been out of the public eye for a long time.
Since Jiang Kai had an accident in prison, he could only contact the Fu family.
Fu Shengyang's cold voice came through, "No need for now, I've already arranged for a lawyer to handle it."
An Xiaoyue frowned.
Why hire a lawyer?
Shouldn't you go to the hospital first if you get hit?
I caught a glimpse of Sheng Yang's brows, furrowed together for the first time in a long time.
An Xiaoyue gave up the idea of asking for clarification.
The matter seems to be quite serious.
Give him some time; once Sheng Yang has sorted things out, he will speak up.
"Don't tell the family about this yet. My darling wife, you have to help me." Fu Shengyang's voice softened a bit.
Grandpa didn't like noisy environments, so he didn't come to the wedding.
But with his parents around, Fu Shengyang was afraid that he might not control himself and give himself away, which his sharp-eyed father would notice.
“I know.” An Xiaoyue’s fingers brushed against his slightly cool palm, their fingers intertwined. “Let’s go. Today is Lingxi and President Ji’s wedding. Everyone is here.”
Fu Shengyang smiled and raised his hand to tidy her hair that had been blown about by the wind. "I'll listen to you."
After walking along a small path, I saw a lucky smiling face.
The couple smiled, as if nothing had happened.
Fu Shengyang clapped his hands at Lucky, "Son, come here and give Daddy a hug. Let Grandpa rest for a while."
Lucky ignored her and reached out to An Xiaoyue, meaning she wanted her mother to hug her first.
The more An Jiaren looked at her grandson, the more adorable and intelligent she found him.
"You little rascal, you'll feel bad for Daddy if he carries you too much."
"That's right, he's very attached to his mother now. He ignores me whenever Xiaoyue is home," Fu Shengyang complained, feeling wronged.
The family stood together, playing with Lucky.
To outsiders, it was a top-tier event.
One is the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the other is a business tycoon.
The child being held in the arms of that high-achieving mother is truly enviable.
