Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Two Hugs

It was difficult for Fang Deng to make up her mind, but it was too easy for her to capture a man like Lu Yi.She doesn't even bother to weave the net tightly, the prey can't wait to jump in.Although Lu Yi never confessed his feelings clearly, and would blush when Fang Deng teased him, within two months, he had voluntarily handed over the keys to Fang Deng, euphemistically saying: A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Fang Deng was invited by Lu Yi to visit his house several times. He stopped playing Kkinect, but the new tricks were not much better. Sometimes he would cook her a meal, and sometimes he asked her to watch a video together. On a creative occasion, he invited her to play table tennis on the balcony.Fang Deng knew the layout and furnishings of his house well. While he was at work, he opened the door and went in to search once. He didn't find what he wanted, but found a box in his study drawer, which was full of photos.The people in the photos are all her, some from the orphanage period, some at the gate of the health school, and some near the fabric shop and her residence.Fang Deng thought to himself, I can't tell that Lu Yi is quite sullen and has the potential to be a paparazzi. Presumably this is also something he hastily hid in that minute when she first visited his house.

In May, Fu Jingshu returned to China again, and he successfully took pictures of the land. Soon after, a brand new shopping mall will rise in the new district of the city. After the silence of the century, it once again left a striking imprint on its origin, which not only has a profound impact on "Fu Nian", but also a matter of great significance in the eyes of Mrs. Zheng.She urged her grandson to do it himself and do things beautifully. Of course, Fu Jingshu would not take it lightly. After participating in the signing ceremony of the land transfer project, there is still some time before the start of construction. Fu Jingshu did not come and go in a hurry as usual this time, and spent a lot of time with Fang Deng at a leisurely pace.

Fang Deng has already told him about the progress of himself and Lu Yi. "Are you sure there is no problem with Cui Minxing's source of information? Maybe Lu Yi's stepmother is just talking nonsense, and the things may not be in Lu Yi's hands." Fang Deng said to Fu Jingshu. Fu Jingshu didn't dare to take chances, "Although that woman is unreliable, I don't believe she can fabricate this incident out of her mouth. The problem is just where Lu Yihui put things." Fang Deng said: "I can't search his house like a thief over and over again, so you might as well just hire a pickpocket. And I asked him several times about his father's belongings, but I couldn't find them." Any useful leads."

Fu Jingshu heard her tone a little anxious, and sighed, "Fang Deng, I know this incident made you..." "Don't talk about that! I just want to know what to do." "There is really no progress on your side, I will think of other ways..." Fang Deng couldn't relax at all when he heard him say that, although deep down in her heart she didn't want to entangle with Lu Yi anymore, Lu Yi was innocent, and she didn't want him to pay too much and end up with nothing in the end, but Fu Qi has used her, and must have reached the point of helplessness, what else can he do, is it to take the risk and hand over this matter to Cui Minxing.With Cui Minxing's insidiousness, he may not know what method to use.

"If you had other ways, why did you come to me?" Fang Deng sat in front of the dressing table, loosened his hair and combed it time after time, "Give me a little more time over there, Lu Yi." There was a knot at the end of her hair, and she hadn't untied it after combing it a few times, so she got a little annoyed, so she pulled the comb teeth and scraped vigorously.Fu Jingshu couldn't stand watching, and took down her comb, "You can't feel sorry for your fine hair." He helped her untie the knot with his hands. Fang Deng looked at him in the mirror and asked blankly: "You took the picture of the land. The old woman is very happy. She should be happy that she bet on the right treasure. It’s worth investing in you.”

Fu Jingshu didn't speak, Fang Deng turned to look at him, but he turned his face away, "Don't move, I almost untied it just now." He lowered his head, as if all his thoughts were on the knot at the end of her hair, but Fang Deng felt that there was something on his mind.Others only said that he was deep in thought and difficult to speculate, but she was too aware of some of his little habits.Whenever he was in a state of confusion, he couldn't see anything on his face, but he couldn't stop in his hands, and he was particularly focused on some trivial things. It was like this when he was trimming his potted plants in the past, and it's the same when he is playing with her hair now.

"Do you have something to tell me?" She played with the comb in her hand, "Oh, don't untie it, just use scissors!" "I told you not to move, don't scream pain when you pull your scalp!" Fu Jingshu's fingers were still busy at the ends of her hair, not understanding how the few strands of hair were entangled so tightly. Fang Deng dragged out his voice lazily, "Let's talk..." "I might be getting married." Fang Deng turned around suddenly, and her scalp was really hurting from being pulled. For a moment, a pained expression appeared on her face, and the knot at the end of her hair was untied at this time.

Fu Jingshu put down his hand, but he was still standing behind her. Fang Deng tied up his hair in a random way, "Married? The old woman arranged for you? When? What does the other party look like? Isn't this very good, people have to get married sooner or later..." Fu Jingshu interrupted her long series of non-stop words, "Fang Deng, listen to me first! This is not the first time the old lady has found me, and this time she is very firm. I have thought about it too. Now, I can’t just argue with her like this. The girl is from Taiwan, and her family is good. Her father has a great career and is a fan of old villas. For some reason, he fell in love with the old house of Fu’s family. You know that there are a lot of Erfang people, all over the world. It took him more than four years to find the descendants of Erfang who have the inheritance rights of Fujiayuan, and persuade them to sign. There are a total of 19 property related parties scattered in Baodao, Taiwan, The United States, Australia, South Africa, and Singapore have all signed transfer agreements. I don’t think I can do this. Then he found our old lady. The old lady is definitely not willing to sell the house. In her eyes, the house is a The root of the Fu family, she holds the property rights of the first house and the third house. I don’t know how they talked about it. I only know that the other party’s family has a 24-year-old only daughter. The parents on both sides think that we very suitable."

"Of course it's appropriate. The old woman wants to get the entire Fujiayuan back in her dreams. Someone has done the hardest work for her. There is no reason why you can't hit it off. If your two families get married, Fujiayuan will be yours. It's perfect to catch up with the right family. Jiang is still old and hot, and the old woman has better eyes than you." Fang Deng still spoke very fast. "The most important thing is that if the property rights of Fujiayuan are complete, it can be officially rebuilt. This is my grandfather's last wish. The old lady has waited for this day for too long. Once this wish is fulfilled, she has nothing to worry about. The equity will be officially transferred to me..."

"When the time comes, you will finally be the legitimate master of the Fu family. It's really good, it's a good thing!" Fang Deng smiled sweetly. Fu Jingshu's throat tightened, "Don't be like this, Fang Deng, I feel even worse seeing you like this." "What's wrong with me?" Fang Deng turned his head and put his hand on the back of his hand with a smile, "We have waited for so many years, isn't it just for this? Why do you feel uncomfortable? Who will you marry if you don't marry her? Could it be me? We are relatives Ah, love!"

Fu Jingshu didn't say anything, he let out a long breath, and simply hugged the chattering Fang Deng in his arms. Fang Deng didn't resist or pander to him, just leaned on him numbly, talking endlessly, his voice was enthusiastic. "After you get married, the Fu family is yours, and you have your own small family. I don't need to help you, and I have no ability to help you. It's great to rebuild Fu's home. Twenty-four years old, really Good! Fu Qi, I'm happy for you, why aren't you happy?" "Shhh!" Fu Jingshu didn't let her continue, and hugged her hands even tighter.But no matter how tight the hug is, they can't really become one, "Fang Deng, you are still young, and the days to come are still long, I will..." "I don't need you to do anything." Fang Deng put his palm on his chest, then slowly pushed away, pulling himself away, "I'm not afraid of getting old either." What's the use of being young, youth is meaningless to most women.Men love youth, women are afraid of old age.Fang Deng is not afraid, he doesn't love her anyway, what does it matter if he is an old and decrepit family member?She wished she could live this life early, and if she was lucky, she wouldn't remember him in the next life. I don't know if it was because he didn't want to bump into Lu Yi, or because of other reasons, Fu Jingshu didn't stay with Fang Deng when he came back this time.During the day, he is still busy with work and entertainment, and stays in the hotel at night. Fang Deng didn't go to the store on the weekend, and fell asleep on the bed.In the dimness, she heard someone ringing the doorbell. She covered her head with the quilt, and the phone rang again after a while.It was Lu Yi, who said he saw Fang Deng's car in the garage, and asked her what happened and why she didn't open the door at home. For a moment, Fang Deng wanted to yell at him through the door to tell him to get out, but she still got up.Lu Yi stood at the door refreshed and greeted her.Fang Deng, who was wearing a nightgown and slippers, made Lu Yi, who had overcome the symptoms of blushing with difficulty, feel a little embarrassed, and he asked her a little embarrassedly if she would like to have a meal with him. Fang Deng leaned on the door frame and gave himself half a minute to wake up. He entered the room to freshen up, and then followed him out. She thought that Lu Yi finally got the hang of it and wanted to take her outside for a candlelight dinner, but she didn't expect him to direct her car around and into an old-fashioned apartment complex, and then lead her into an elevator without a trace. On the eighth floor of the building, Fang Deng was still out of breath, the door opened, and a whole family of people, old and young, surrounded him enthusiastically. As soon as Lu entered the room, he introduced to her that among those people were his aunt, uncle, cousin, cousin-in-law, niece, and uncle's old mother, in short, his aunt's whole family.As for Fang Deng, he briefly introduced him as a "friend" to his relatives. Even his five-year-old niece gave a sneaky laugh, and everyone seemed to understand. Before Fang Deng could react in time, he was surrounded by several people in the middle of the sofa. The TV was turned on very loudly, and a high-pitched female voice was singing: "Today is a good day, and everything you want can come true..." A little girl named Jiajia ran around the room with a beautiful goat doll in her arms. He squatted at Fang Deng's feet again, opened his eyes curiously and asked, "Sister, are you my uncle's girlfriend? My uncle is so handsome!" Her mother took the trouble to correct her daughter that Fang Deng should be called "Auntie" and scolded the children not to talk nonsense, but she sat beside Fang Deng and kept asking how Fang Deng met Lu Yi and what kind of job she did. of?The cousin-in-law handed melon seeds and fruits, made tea, and was scolded by his wife because the water was too hot.The eldest uncle was watching TV on the surface, and after a while, he glanced in the direction of the sofa.It wasn't enough for the old lady to stare at Fang Deng's face, and she said she would show her palmistry.Not long after Lu entered the door, he was called into the kitchen by his aunt. From the position of the square lamp, only the aunt's mouth could not stop talking, but he was smiling all the time. Fang Deng was used to being alone, and it was difficult to adapt to such an occasion at once. He answered the questions here with a smile as much as possible, went to pick up the things handed over there, and handed his hand to the old man to read the palm prints. It was such a joy.She held on for a while, got up and went to the kitchen to see what Lu Yi was doing, and took the opportunity to ask him what the hell he was doing.Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the kitchen, the aunt greeted her enthusiastically while cooking, and asked her how old she was, whether her family was local, and what her parents did. Fang Deng glared at Lu Yi, and he lowered his head guiltyly to choose dishes for his aunt.Fang Deng had no choice but to answer the aunt's "examination of life experience" one by one.When she mentioned that she was an orphan, the aunt looked at her in surprise, with surprise and pity on her face. Lu Yi said that he was choosing vegetables, but he was actually absent-minded. He threw away the young shoots, leaving the old leaves behind.Fang Deng couldn't stand it anymore, and reluctantly took over his job.These are the things she used to do when she was a child. Although she seldom does it by herself now, she is still very familiar with it. She chose the vegetables and then helped the aunt cut carrots, with quick hands and feet and neat knives.Lu Yi asked Fang Deng to go outside for the first time, and she took a little trouble to dress up. The aunt saw her exquisite makeup and elegant clothes, but she didn't expect her to do the kitchen chores so easily, and her smile gradually became a little more satisfied. The food was ready, and the whole family sat around the table and began to eat lunch.The little girl leaked the meal on the table and was reprimanded by her mother, and her father gave her another chicken leg.The aunt kept adding vegetables to Fang Deng, and by the way talked about the various advantages of their family "Yi Yi".The cousin-in-law always wanted to invite Lu Yi to drink, but Lu Yi blushed after sipping half of the glass, and kept saying that he couldn't drink it.The uncle asked some questions about Lu Yi and Fang Deng's work, and complained about his unsatisfactory pension. The song on the TV is still playing, the smell of oily smoke from the kitchen has not dissipated, and Fang Deng sits there, surrounded by a long-lost smell of human fireworks, lively, alive, messy, vulgar The beautiful and happy ordinary life, these images had flashed by in her dreams, but she had never been in them so truly. When sending them out, the aunt held Fang Deng's hand for a long time and kept telling her to come back when she was free.Fang Deng had agreed many times against his will, and when he and Lu went downstairs, he breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm sorry, I didn't make it clear to you in advance, they just care too much about my affairs. Are you not angry?" Lu Yi watched her expression carefully. Fang Deng smiled. He definitely knew that if she "made it clear" in advance, she might not be willing to come. Is this the cunning of an honest person?She asked: "How did you tell them, how did you think I was your girlfriend?" Lu Yi shook his hands again and again, "No, I just said you are my friend. They haven't seen me bring the girl back, so they all misunderstood." "Then why did you bring me here to misunderstand them?" Fang Deng scowled. "I'm sorry! I don't know why, but I really hope to have a good meal with you and my family today." He looked ashamed, "Today is my 30th birthday. After my father died, until Before going to university, I lived in my aunt's house, and they are all good people." "As for me, you called me because I'm a good person?" Fang Deng deliberately teased him, to see when he would express what was on his face. Who knew that Lu Yi lowered his head and smiled, then avoided the question a little shyly. Fang Deng also smiled and said: "Since your family regards me as your girlfriend, come on, little Yiyi, tell me what they think of me?" Lu Yi was embarrassed by her call, but still said: "Jiajia likes you very much, and said that she will become like you when she grows up. My uncle and cousin-in-law said that I have good vision and better luck. Well, my cousin is afraid that I may not be like you. I can afford you, she said that your clothes and bags are not cheap, is that true?" Fang Deng smiled and said nothing. "Auntie also thinks you're good. I didn't expect you to do housework. She asked me when I could marry you. As for grandma..." "What does the old man say?" Fang Deng's curiosity was aroused by his hesitation. "She said you were so good-looking, she was afraid that I wouldn't be able to keep you." "I'm afraid she said that I'm like a vixen, so please stay away from me." The old lady looked at her, and when she whispered in Lu Yi's ear, Fang Deng could guess eight or nine points from her mouth shape and expression. "As people get older, their minds are full of weird and stubborn thoughts. Don't take it to heart." Lu Yi said hurriedly. Fang Deng made a ferocious expression, "Then I'll make my face ugly next time." Lu Yi blurted out, "Is it useful? If you're not so good-looking, can I keep you?" "I'm afraid you may not be willing to look at me again then." Fang Deng seemed not to notice his red face. Lu Yi thought for a while and said, "Do you believe it? The first time I met you in a funeral home, what impressed me more was what you said to me, not your face." "What did I say that shook the world and wept ghosts and gods?" "Did you forget? You said that whether I want to or not, what should happen will not be changed because of my mind. Instead of escaping, it is better to be brave and watch it happen with open eyes. The more I think about it, the more I feel that you are right. Yes, I won’t close my eyes when watching horror movies, so I’m not afraid of ugly people standing in front of me.” Lu half-jokingly said, “I’ve always believed that your name is Fu Jingru. How did you come up with the name?" "Just think about it." Fang Deng said, they had already reached the parking place, "If there is nothing else, I will go to the store in the afternoon." "I'll see you off." Lu Yi said hastily. Fang Deng chuckled, "Please, I'm the one driving the car, how do you deliver it?" The dimples at the corners of Lu Yi's mouth became deeper when Lu Yi was embarrassed. Fang Deng rarely saw boys with dimples in that position, but they were actually quite cute. "I'll give you a ride, and it's also okay to take a taxi home." Lu Yi said embarrassingly. Fang Deng leaned against the car door and asked curiously: "Lu Yi, if you don't drive, it's because you're still a road idiot when you grow up, right?" Her doubts were not completely unreasonable, young men of his age, with similar income conditions, few people like him, always choose public transportation, or walk, and don't even have a driver's license. Lu Yi was silent for a while, and said: "My parents died in a car accident. When my mother had an accident, she was pregnant with my younger sister. And my grandparents, when they went on a trip, the cruise ship they were on had an accident. It's evil, I think so too, our family seems to be unable to avoid traffic accidents, I'm really scared. Just laugh, it's okay." Fang Deng couldn't laugh, she thought of the scene where Lu Ninghai was stuck in the deformed carriage with blood foaming from his mouth.If she hadn't been in the car at that time, or if she had tried harder to find a way to help him, wouldn't Lu Yi not end up with the death of both parents today? "I'm sorry." She said, looking at him. "Why do you say I'm sorry? I also think it's quite funny. There is an idiom to describe people like me. Yes, give up eating because of choking!" Fang Deng shook his head, "I'm not talking about that. Lu Yi, you know I was there when your father had an accident, right? I couldn't save him, I'm sorry, really." This is what she always wanted to say to Lu Yi. What she said, but what she didn't finish was that during the best rescue time, she was trying her best to destroy the secret about Fu Jingshu's life experience.It was for this reason that every time she approached Lu Yi, she couldn't escape a sense of uneasiness. Lu Yiyi showed surprise, as if he didn't expect her to say that. "It was an accident. How can you blame me? My dad drove the car, and you were injured. If it weren't for that accident, we might be a family. You could have a family, but it turned out After the incident, I went back to the orphanage without any support. I was taken care of by my aunt's family, so I was a little lucky. Since then, I have always hoped to see you live well..." Lu Yi didn't finish his sentence, because Fang Deng beside him suddenly stood on tiptoe and gave him a gentle hug. "You are a good person, Lu Yi. Your grandma is right, you should stay away from me." Fang Deng murmured beside him. But Lu Yi couldn't hear anything. At this time, his senses were occupied by the close body temperature and the fragrance of hair that was close at hand. It suddenly seemed like a dream. When Fang Deng pulled away, he didn't have time to reach out to respond, regretting so much Can't wait to smoke myself.
