Jin Xiumei, Zhou Ying, and their father Zhou Cangsong were all there. Their younger brother was minding the shop. The whole family was still awake, and when they saw Zhou Xuan come out, they all quickly stood up.
Jin Xiumei was startled to see her son's eyes were red, swollen, and bloodshot. She quickly asked, "Son, are you alright? Don't scare your mother!"
Zhou Xuan shook his head and walked straight towards the door, saying as he went, "Mom, I'm fine. I'm going to America to see Yi Lei. I'll only believe her if I ask her in person. Don't worry!" But how could they not worry! The whole family followed Zhou Xuan out the door. Zhou Xuan left Hongcheng Garden and hailed a taxi on the road outside. It was still dark. There were relatively few cars on the street, but taxis were still passing by.
Zhou Xuan got into the car, then waved to his parents and sister, saying, "You all go back now. Don't worry, I'm fine. I'll be right back. And I'll bring Yingying back with me!"
The main reason is that it's so early, there's no traffic, and it's faster on the highway. After arriving at the airport, there's still about an hour before the flight takes off.
I went to the window to collect my ticket and checked my passport and other documents again; everything was in good condition.
Zhou Xuan sat in the waiting room, holding his face and staring at the timetable on the electronic screen, anxious and impatient.
After his ice energy surged, Zhou Xuan's temperament seemed to become much calmer and more composed. The purer the ice energy, the calmer one's temperament. But today, he just couldn't calm down no matter what!
It was finally 6:30, time to board. Zhou Xuan rushed to the boarding gate first. Passengers were divided into several groups and took airport buses to the airport to board their planes.
Zhou Xuan was in a first-class seat, his hands were empty and he had no luggage. After he sat down, someone sat down next to him. He turned his head and looked at him, and was surprised!
It was Wei Xiaoqing!
"Why are you following me?" Zhou Xuan asked, somewhat annoyed. Wei Xiaoqing not only came along, but even sat with him. Of course, given the Wei family's status and connections, what was a plane ticket like this? It wouldn't be surprising if they chartered the entire plane.
Wei Xiaoqing bit her lip, pouted, and then said, "The plane isn't yours, so why do you say I'm following you? Besides, does that mean only you can go to America and I can't?"
Zhou Xuan was stunned for a moment before saying, "I don't care where you go, but once we get to New York, don't follow me!"
Wei Xiaoqing snorted, wanting to refute him, but seeing Zhou Xuan's red and swollen eyes, she finally held back and remained silent.
Zhou Xuan's heart was always set on Fu Ying, and he had no intention of arguing with Wei Xiaoqing anymore.
After the plane took off, Wei Xiaoqing asked the flight attendant to bring two cups of hot milk, handing one to Zhou Xuan. Zhou Xuan took it and drank it without even knowing what it tasted like.
Wei Xiaoqing looked at Zhou Xuan's absent-minded appearance. She was both angry and heartbroken, but she didn't dare to say anything more to him, so she could only sulk on the side.
Zhou Xuan stared out the cabin window, a position he maintained for several hours without changing. Wei Xiaoqing was genuinely worried. Fortunately, after midnight, Zhou Xuan finally lay down in his seat and fell asleep.
Wei Xiaoqing didn't dare wake him, knowing that Zhou Xuan was actually extremely exhausted mentally, and that sleeping a little longer would be better. She hadn't woken him up for the airplane lunch either. If she woke him up, he definitely wouldn't eat it.
Zhou Xuan hadn't slept for a day and a night, which was actually a good thing. He slept for about thirteen or fourteen hours. When he woke up, it was already past two in the morning the next day, but looking out the window, it was already bright outside. Because of the time, it was actually around two in the afternoon.
After a short while, the plane landed at New York Airport.
After leaving the airport, in the airport terminal, Zhou Xuan said to Wei Xiaoqing, "Don't follow me. Go wherever you want, just don't follow me!"
Wei Xiaoqing bit her lip and didn't speak. She only moved her feet after Zhou Xuan had walked far away. Actually, she was also a little conflicted. Fu Ying was gone, and hope rose in her heart again, but Zhou Xuan's expression and will made her feel heartbroken. It was as if Zhou Xuan didn't even have her in his eyes.
Zhou Xuan hailed a taxi on the roadside outside the airport terminal. After getting in, the driver asked him where he was going, but he spoke in English. Zhou Xuan was dumbfounded and said a few words about Chinatown.
But the Black driver just didn't understand. Zhou Xuan frowned, getting anxious, when the car door opened again, and Wei Xiaoqing gracefully slipped into the car, saying to the driver, "Chinatown!"
However, she spoke in English, and the Black driver immediately nodded and started the car.
Wei Xiaoqing then asked Zhou Xuan, who was still standing there, "What kind of place is Chinatown?"
Zhou Xuan paused for a moment before saying, "I don't remember the number, but I know the address. I can give you directions. You..." He wanted to kick Wei Xiaoqing out of the car again, but then he remembered that he wouldn't be able to communicate with the black driver later, so he paused and added, "When we get there, don't follow me. Just walk away."
Zhou Xuan's tone was somewhat harsh, and Wei Xiaoqing's eyes reddened, but she still nodded tactfully. She whispered, "Okay!"
Zhou Xuan then realized that he might have gone too far with his words. He turned his head away, and after a while, he turned back and said, "Xiaoqing, I'm sorry. You know, after something like this happened, I was just worried that Yingying would misunderstand. I didn't mean to be mean to you!"
Wei Xiaoqing finally couldn't hold back her tears, which streamed down her face.
Zhou Xuan dared not provoke her any further and turned his face away. Looking out the car window, he continued, "To find out what happens next, please visit [website name - likely a gambling site]. More chapters available. Support the author and read the official version!"
Volume 1, Chapter 174: Fu Ying's Answer
Yue Xuan gave directions, Wei Xiaoqing explained, and the winged driver drove, finally arriving at the Fu family's place.
Wei Xiaoqing said to Zhou Xuan, "You get off the bus. I'll stay on!" She then added, "I'll take this bus!"
These words reassured Zhou Xuan; she wouldn't follow them.
Zhou Xuan didn't say much to her; he was very nervous at the moment, his mind completely focused on Fu Ying. He got out of the car and stopped at the gate.
He stood at the door for a few minutes before gritting his teeth and pressing the doorbell hard.
The doorbell rang a few times, and then the door opened.
The woman who opened the door was the same one he'd met before. However, Zhou Xuan had come with Ito that time, and they'd only met briefly; she hadn't paid him any attention and didn't know who he was. She stared at Zhou Xuan and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
This was a southern dialect of China. Zhou Xuan had been working in the south and understood it, so he quickly said, "Sister-in-law, my name is Zhou Xuan. I'm looking for Fu Ying. Miss Fu, may I ask?"
Before Zhou Xuan could finish speaking, the courtesan's face darkened immediately upon hearing Fu Ying's name. She said angrily, "You're Zhou Xuan? Our master instructed us not to see you. Get out of here!"
"I won't leave until I see Fu Ying!" Zhou Xuan said to her in a deep voice, though his voice was not loud, his meaning was extremely resolute.
The woman snorted and said, "Our Miss Fu has already gone to Europe with her parents to manage their business. You won't see her, and she won't see you. Go if you want, don't go if you don't want to, but let me tell you, even if you wait ten days, eight days, a month, or two, you still won't see our Miss!"
Zhou Xuan stared, his eyes bloodshot, and gasped, "I won't leave. I can leave if Fu Ying tells me personally, but I'll leave even if it means death!"
The woman had no choice but to huff and puff, "Do as you please!" She then turned and went inside, closing the door behind her.
Forcing his way in was out of the question. First, the Fu family had bodyguards; second, he couldn't hurt anyone; and most importantly, if Fu Ying wanted to see him, she would. If she didn't, nothing he said would matter. Zhou Xuan's only belief was that Fu Ying would never refuse to see him!
Zhou Xuan sat down on the stone steps by the gate, trying to calm himself down and wait, but his heart was in excruciating pain and he couldn't calm down no matter what. He paid no attention to the passersby around him, and although his eyes were open, he didn't notice them at all.
There are several security cameras near the gate. Zhou Xuan knows this. If Fu Ying were here, she wouldn't have stayed hidden.
