Jin Xiumei asked in surprise, "Son, didn't you say you'd be in Yangzhou for several days? How come you're back today after going yesterday?"
"I finished my business, and I felt bored staying there, so I came back!"
Jin Xiumei immediately said, "That's good, that's good. My wife and I ordered a set of furniture. She chose it herself; she likes it."
Fu Ying's face flushed red, and she lowered her head even further, not daring to say a word.
"And another thing," Jin Xiumei said, "your brother Hong called you several times yesterday, saying he needed to talk to you, but he didn't tell me what it was. He just said that he would tell you to call him back as soon as you got back. What urgent matter did Brother Hong have?" Zhou Xuan responded, but then thought to himself, Brother Hong usually wouldn't ask him to do anything. Could it be that the old man's illness has relapsed?
Upon thinking of the old man, Zhou Xuan was immediately startled and quickly went downstairs to the living room to get the phone and call Wei Haihong's home.
What was the voice of the person who answered the phone? A young woman, cold and aloof, but with a clear and pleasant voice: "The Wei family, who are you?"
"This is Zhou Xuan. Is Brother Hong here?" Zhou Xuan couldn't recognize the voice at first. It didn't sound like Brother Hong's wife, nor did it have the surname Wang. Sister-in-law Wang's voice wasn't that young or pleasant, and it didn't sound like Wei Xiaoqing either.
"You," you're back? Little
The voice paused, clearly a little surprised, and then said, "You, surnamed Zhou, wait here, I'm coming."
Zhou Xuan was even more confused. After a moment of hesitation, he asked, "Who are you? Why would I be waiting for you?"
The voice seemed to catch its breath before saying, "I'll come pick you up!" and then abruptly hung up the phone.
Zhou Xuan said "hello" twice, but the phone was always busy, so he had to hang up. He wondered who this girl was, as her voice sounded unfamiliar.
Fu Ying asked softly from the side, "Who is it? Is there something you need?"
Fu Ying's interruption made Zhou Xuan realize something in a flash, and he immediately exclaimed, "I know, it's her! So it was her!"
Volume 1, Chapter 130: A Clash of Beauties
In that instant, the two realized who the woman on the phone was!
It's Wei Xiaoyu, Wei Xiaoqing's twin sister, that cold and proud female officer!
Why did she come to pick me up? It seems like I've never had anything to do with her, I never even speak to her, I neither flatter her nor offend her, so what could it be? Her tone on the phone sounded rather unfriendly.
Zhou Xuan was still deep in thought when Fu Ying asked again, "What is it?"
By this time, the furniture had been moved in, and the furniture company deliverymen had all come downstairs and left. Jin Xiumei followed them downstairs, sat down in the living room, and said to Zhou Xuan, "Son, you've given us a lot of money. Now that we've bought the furniture, I think we should ask someone to choose a date and hold the wedding!"
Fu Ying was asking about something, but Jin Xiumei's words immediately made her blush again. She lowered her head shyly and dared not utter a sound, and naturally, she forgot all about what she was asking.
Yesterday, Fu Ying went with Jin Xiumei to order furniture. She chose the furniture herself, selecting what she liked, but Jin Xiumei paid for it, saying that her son was getting married and the furniture should be provided by his parents. So Fu Ying didn't argue about it. Besides, she knew that although Zhou Xuan wasn't as wealthy as her family, he still had hundreds of millions in assets, so she didn't care about such small matters. Before, back in Zhou Xuan's hometown, she was worried about his family not having enough money and losing face, so she always thought things through before acting. Now, thanks to her mother-in-law and the bank card Zhou Xuan gave her containing several million, she didn't need to worry about it anymore.
To be honest, Fu Ying was dreaming of having her dream wedding with Zhou Xuanren. It's a once-in-a-lifetime event!
Fu Ying and Jin Xiumei were both lost in their own fantasies. Jin Xiumei was thinking about getting her son married as soon as possible. Where could she find such a beautiful and sensible daughter-in-law? She wanted to get married quickly so that the Zhou family could have a grandson. Then she would have something to do, taking care of her grandson every day. Unlike now, she always felt anxious. People who are used to working in the countryside feel restless if they don't work for a day.
Zhou Xuan recalled Wei Xiaoyu's tone just now and quickly said to his mother and Fu Ying, "I just called Brother Hong's place, and Wei Xiaoyu answered the phone. She said she had something to do and needed to come over here. Yingying, do you remember her?"
"I remember, she looks exactly like Xiaoqing." Of course Fu Ying remembered her. Beautiful women are the first to be remembered. However, she felt that Wei Xiaoyu was cold and arrogant, so Fu Ying naturally ignored her.
Before she met Zhou Xuan, Fu Ying was an extremely proud girl who never looked up to any man. But after meeting Zhou Xuan and falling for him, her personality changed drastically. Her aloofness softened, and she even tried to curry favor with Zhou Xuan's family. This was unlike her former self, but her core nature remained that of Fu Ying. Therefore, she didn't have a good impression of Wei Xiaoyu, and the two kept their distance.
Zhou Xuan pondered, wondering what Wei Xiaoyu's intentions were. Although he couldn't recall doing anything to offend her, he still felt uneasy, his heart pounding with anxiety.
Wei Haihong's home is also in Xicheng, only a ten-minute drive from Hongcheng Garden. Less than ten minutes later, he heard the screeching sound of tire brakes coming from outside the villa.
When Wei Xiaoyu arrived, she was still in a neat military uniform, and her face still had a cold expression, but with a bit more anger.
It was fiery temper; Zhou Xuan could sense it. Wei Xiaoyu had a fiery, impulsive air about her.
She doesn't seem to have been to Hongcheng Garden before, so how did she know she lived here?
But Zhou Xuan immediately realized that Wei Xiaoyu was a local Beijing resident and knew the area much better than he did. She could find him just by knowing the name of the place, let alone such a famous residential complex as Hongcheng Garden.
"Please sit down!" Zhou Xuan stood up respectfully and invited her to sit down.
Wei Xiaoyu said coldly, "I won't sit. You're coming with me."
Zhou Xuan asked in surprise, "Where are we going? What's the matter?"
"Just leave when I tell you to, why are you making so many excuses?"
Wei Xiaoyu narrowed her eyes, her gaze turning somewhat unfriendly.
Jin Xiumei sensed something was amiss. This girl, who looked like an officer, didn't seem amiable at all, and she was also strikingly beautiful. At first glance, she mistook her for Xiaoqing, but after hearing her voice, she knew it wasn't her. Moreover, the girl didn't recognize her. Xiaoqing had always been very kind to her. Could it be that her son had some kind of connection with her, and now that she heard her son was getting married, she was coming to cause trouble? Besides, the girl looked like an officer. As the saying goes, you should never mess with officials. Moreover, her family was unfamiliar with the area, and if something happened, it would be difficult to find connections.
Fu Ying also noticed something was wrong, and stood up, saying calmly, "Miss Wei, what do you want to see Zhou Xuan about? You can just say it directly. There's no need to come to some other place to say it, is there?"
"It's none of your business!" Wei Xiaoyu acted entirely like someone in the military, saying that subordinates had to obey unconditionally, instead of asking questions.
"He's my boyfriend, we're getting married, so tell me, what he does has nothing to do with me?" Fu Ying felt a surge of anger, but she still tried to speak to her in a calm voice.
"Oh," Wei Xiaoyu stared at Fu Ying for a while. Fu Ying stared back at her without backing down, and when their eyes met, it seemed as if countless sparks were ignited!
Seeing Wei Xiaoyu reach for her waist, Zhou Xuan quickly rushed forward and said, "Alright, alright, let's go, let's talk outside."
Zhou Xuan was well aware of Wei Xiaoyu's family background. She was also a military officer and might be carrying a gun. If something really happened, he couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't pull out a gun and become violent. Fu Ying was also the type to not admit defeat, so he couldn't let her get hurt. It was just going with her; she wouldn't eat him alive. Besides, there was Brother Hong. Even if Wei Xiaoyu had a major problem, she wouldn't hurt him!
Zhou Xuan immediately comforted Jin Xiumei and Fu Ying, and then followed Wei Xiaoyu out of the villa.
Wei Xiaoyu was driving a military jeep. Zhou Xuan opened the back door and got in. Just as he sat down, he saw Fu Ying also get in and sit beside him. He paused for a moment before asking, "Yingying, what are you doing?"
"I'll go with you. I can't let anyone bully you!" Fu Ying said coldly, her eyes fixed on Wei Xiaoyu sitting in the driver's seat.
Wei Xiaoyu just sneered and didn't answer. She started the car and drove onto the road.
