Chapter 1134 Hao Mengyan confesses to Hao Teng
Natural disasters and man-made disasters are the greatest test of human nature. They are all in their thirties and have been in society for so many years. They should have seen things clearly long ago.
Fu Nanzhou pursed his thin lips. He understood what Pei Shaoqing said, but there was no way he could just let it go.
After all, he was still angry at Lu Xi's impulsiveness, and even more afraid of losing her.
"Hang up." Fu Nanzhou took the initiative to end the call.
Pei Shaoqing raised his eyebrows, sighed helplessly, and then put away his phone.
She stood by the bed with her hands in her pockets. Hao Mengyan should have heard everything he had said to Nanzhou just now, right?
It was good for her to hear it, so that she could have an idea in her mind. After all, she almost put Lu Xi in danger today.
"You are lucky. If Pingting's medicine hadn't worked, the killer's knife would have hit your vitals, and you wouldn't have survived."
Hao Mengyan lowered her eyelashes and said, "It's not that I'm lucky, it's Lu Xi who saved me."
Hao Mengyan will never forget the life-saving grace! Regardless of whether Lu Xi's cooperation with her was related to exploitation, she owed Lu Xi a life in this life, and she would pay it back sooner or later.
"It's good that you think so. What are you going to do with the killer? I lifted the mask and it turned out to be someone close to your father."
Hao Mengyan's eyes turned cold. She guessed it, so she mentioned in the car that she wanted to deal with Hao Teng and mentioned the card, and the killer took the risk of letting Lu Xi come over.
“Is this attempted murder?” she asked.
Pei Shaoqing nodded, "Of course, there are surveillance cameras in the parking lot."
"Then lock him up. I don't want to dirty my hands for such a person, and I don't like to use those ruthless means."
Some wealthy families do touch upon the gray area, the Hao family even more so, but Hao Mengyan does not want to do that.
Pei Shaoqing shrugged, "Okay."
He made a phone call, said a few words and hung up. He then continued to stand by the bed with no intention of sitting down.
Hao Mengyan pursed her lips, knowing what she should do, and said, "It's already late, you can go back. Thank you for today."
Pei Shaoqing did not shirk his responsibility, "Are you sure you can do it?"
"It's okay. I'll find someone to take care of me. You can go without worry. After all, we are a single man and a single woman. It's not appropriate for us to be together."
A smile appeared on Hao Mengyan's pale face, as if she was joking with him. Although she had just undergone surgery and looked a little weak, she was in pretty good condition.
Pei Shaoqing nodded, "Okay, I'll leave first then."
"Thank you very much."
"You're welcome." Pei Shaoqing turned and left, closing the door behind him.
Hao Mengyan kept looking at his back, and after Pei Shaoqing left, she could not take her eyes off him for a long time. The smile on her face gradually stiffened and finally disappeared completely.
In fact, how much did she wish Pei Shaoqing was by her side?
She actually heard everything Pei Shaoqing said when he called Fu Nanzhou just now. He was a second-generation rich man who looked cynical and uninhibited, but he was thoughtful and understood girls very well. He could also think about things from a girl's perspective.
If, she meant if, Qin Xiaoru wasn't there, she might not give up, but...
Thinking of this, Hao Mengyan felt a surge of heat in her heart, but it was extinguished in an instant by herself pouring a basin of ice water on it.
She would not let her feelings rekindle. Since she knew it was impossible, she should not waste any more time. She might not be able to stop herself from falling in love with Pei Shaoqing again and again, but after each heartbeat, she would stab herself and use the pain to remind herself that they were impossible.
**
Another day.
Fu Nanzhou and Lu Xi didn't talk to each other all night, and went to the company without even having breakfast in the morning.
Just as I sat down, there was a knock on the door. The man didn't even raise his head, but said coldly, "Come in."
"Mr. Fu."
Hearing Chen Jiani's voice, Fu Nanzhou raised his head and suddenly remembered that Lu Xi asked Chen Jiani to replace Fang Min.
Big fire.
"Boss Fu, today is my first day in office. Is there anything I did wrong?"
Before Chen Jiani could finish, Fu Nanzhou interrupted, "First, you can't replace Fang Min. You are only my secretary temporarily because you got a backdoor. When Fang Min comes back, you will leave immediately. Second, since you want to do this job, you should have done your homework in advance. If there is anything you haven't done well, please resign immediately. I don't want to keep useless people here."
Chen Jiani's face turned pale. She didn't expect Fu Nanzhou to be so rude.
Today she wore a white snow-white shirt with an off-white A-line skirt. Both were very simple styles, neither exaggerated nor complicated. Her straight hair was draped behind her head and simply braided. She looked clean and refreshing, but not rigid.
Chen Jiani originally had little work experience and was very immature. She couldn't hide her emotions after being wronged, which made men feel pity for her.
However, Fu Nanzhou only felt upset, and his voice became colder, "If you want to cry, go outside and cry."
Chen Jiani held back her tears and handed the coffee over, "Mr. Fu, your coffee."
Fu Nanzhou picked up the cup and took a sip, then slammed the coffee cup heavily on the table with a "bang", and the dark brown liquid inside spilled out.
"You can't even make coffee properly, and you want to replace Fang Min? You're overestimating yourself!"
Chen Jiani hurriedly cleaned up, "Boss Fu, I'll make it again."
"It was you who told my wife yesterday that someone got into Hao Mengyan's car?" Fu Nanzhou's voice was sharp, and the sharp cold light in his eyes suddenly shot towards her.
Chen Jiani froze, swallowed, looked up into Fu Nanzhou's dark and cold eyes, her heart trembled fiercely, "...Yes."
"When you saw that kind of thing, you didn't call the police, and you didn't ask the Hao family for help. Instead, you told my wife, Chen Jiani. What are you thinking?"
Chen Jiani gasped, her legs so weak that she could hardly stand.
"Mr. Fu, I'm not..." She was so anxious that she couldn't speak.
Fu Nanzhou's brows were covered with a thousand-year-old frost. "You'd better not be like that. I warn you, don't let your being my wife's classmate give you a green light at Fu's! If I find out that you have ill intentions towards my wife, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Yes."
"Get out!" Fu Nanzhou waved his hand.
Chen Jiani hurried out, returned to the office outside, and sat in her desk in a daze, tears falling silently.
Her cell phone rang, and when she saw the familiar number on the phone, she quickly wiped away her tears and took the phone to the bathroom before answering it.
"How is it?" Hao Teng asked her coldly.
"How can it be so fast? I just started working today. Because of Hao Mengyan's matter, Fu Nanzhou is very disgusted with me. If I continue, he will definitely doubt my motives. I need more time."
Chen Jiani lowered her voice and explained impatiently.
"I can give you time, but don't drag it out. After all, I don't have that much patience!"
After hanging up the phone, Hao Teng leaned back in his chair tiredly.
"Master, do you want to go to the hospital to see the second young lady?" the housekeeper asked tentatively.
Hao Teng slowly opened his eyes, without any emotion in his eyes, "Let's go and take a look. That beast Hao Bohua is so eager to take action, which proves that he really thinks Hao Mengyan will become an obstacle to him. Then we must strike while the iron is hot."
"Yes."
The two arrived at the hospital. Seeing Hao Mengyan lying weakly on the bed, Hao Teng was so distressed that his eyes were filled with tears. "Your father, that bastard, how could he do that to her?!"
Hao Teng was filled with righteous indignation, and seemed to wish he could strangle Hao Bohua to death with his own hands.
Hao Mengyan smiled sadly, "My dad even dared to do it to you, let alone care about me. But I don't regret it, because being your granddaughter is my greatest luck."
Hao Teng's eyes flickered slightly, unsure how much truth there was in the child's words.
However, what happened yesterday did serve as a reminder to him.
"Lu Xi... Why are you with Lu Xi? She actually risked her life to save you. Are you two very close?"
This seemed to be just a casual question from Hao Teng, but it made Hao Mengyan feel cold.
Her grandfather has always been suspicious by nature, and he must have suspected her because of what happened yesterday.
Hao Mengyan clenched her hands tightly together, trying to force herself to calm down. Finally, she chose to tell the truth, "She took the initiative to ask me out. She wanted to join forces with me to deal with the Hao family."
