HCB Chapter 36: A photo popped up, revealing his identity.
Chapter 36: A photo popped up, revealing his identity.
Song Jinwei waved the phone smugly after getting it, but seeing that Fu Siyue wasn't angry, she immediately lost interest and snorted coldly.
Judging from Fu Siyue's appearance just now, she thought he was dealing with something very important on his phone. She just wanted to destroy everything that Fu Siyue cherished and valued, to make Fu Siyue suffer, and torment him relentlessly. It was because Fu Siyue locked her up and wouldn't let her see Fu Qinian.
Song Jinwei glanced at her phone casually, but when she saw the contents, her eyes widened instantly. She then held up the phone and questioned Fu Siyue, "Who is this woman? Why does she call you Xiao... Yue?" Song Jinwei awkwardly read out the two words; such an intimate address was something Song Jinwei had never used before.
When Fu Siyue heard the nickname "Xiao Yue," he was momentarily stunned. He only remembered one person calling him that: his stepmother.
Fu Siyue's gaze was fixed on his phone, staring intently at the Jiang Li profile picture. The name was Wu, and he called him Xiao Yue. It seemed as if there was some connection between them.
Fu Siyue's heart started racing for no apparent reason, and a sense of nervous panic crept into his heart. On his face, however, he remained expressionless and cold, deep and unfathomable.
After sending the message to Xiao Yue, Jiang Liwu was at a loss for words. After all, she was no longer facing the little baby Fu Siyue, but Fu Siyue who had grown up twenty years later. How could she explain to Fu Siyue why the person who died in front of him twenty years ago was still alive? And how could she make Fu Siyue believe that she was the real person at the first moment?
How about we give each other a secret signal and talk about things from our childhood?
Jiang Liwu found it troublesome, so after thinking about it, she simply sent a photo of her face. To make up for the regret of not having a group photo of Wei Xifeng's family, Jiang Liwu had taken a lot of photos during this period, practically taking photos everywhere she went, and she also had a lot of solo photos.
The photo popped up unexpectedly. The woman's face was highly distinctive and recognizable; she was breathtakingly beautiful even without makeup. She was dressed in casual home clothes, a carefree and bright smile playing on her lips. Song Jinwei pointed the phone screen at herself, and Fu Siyue only had time to catch a glimpse of the woman's blurry figure and face in the photo.
Just as she was wondering about the woman's identity, Jiang Liwu suddenly revealed herself. When Song Jinwei recognized Jiang Liwu, her eyes widened even more, and a fierce look appeared on them. She couldn't help but grit her teeth.
Well, Jiang Liwu didn't see Fu Siyue at the auction, so she kept trying to pester him and even managed to get his private contact information and actually added him.
Song Jinwei deleted Jiang Liwu's photos and messages, then blocked and deleted her as a friend. After doing all this, she threw the phone back to Fu Siyue.
Fu Siyue noticed this but said nothing, which was condoning Song Jinwei's behavior.
And Song Jinwei is so concerned about whether there are other women in his phone, isn't she? "Are you jealous?" Fu Siyue asked calmly, his expression unchanged but you could tell that he was in a better mood.
Song Jinwei's eyes widened even more fiercely, her gaze towards Fu Siyue filled with rejection. She subconsciously wanted to say that the person she liked and loved was Fu Qinian, so how could she be jealous of Fu Siyue? But when she thought that Fu Siyue would cripple Fu Qinian's legs just because she said she liked him, Song Jinwei had no choice but to swallow her words.
The thought that Fu Qinian was injured but she couldn't go see him deepened her resentment and hatred towards Fu Siyue.
"She's just a substitute for the one who bullies me. If you want to add her back and have her bully me with you, then go ahead." Song Jin left angrily.
Fu Siyue frowned slightly, his feelings toward the stand-in worsened. He recalled that brief encounter at the auction, where the stand-in, wearing a mask, appeared as Wei Xifeng's female companion. The way she ate, the moment she looked up, her figure, and her aura all unintentionally exuded a lingering sense of familiarity, which uncontrollably made Fu Siyue somewhat concerned.
A sharp pain suddenly shot through Fu Siyue's brain. He stopped thinking about it and realized that the person he had longed for, fantasized about, and yearned for would never appear in front of him again in this lifetime.
But what was the purpose of Wei Xifeng asking him to add the stand-in's contact information?
Forget it, what could a stand-in possibly want from him? It's probably not that important.
Fu Siyue put his phone aside and turned to work. He was a workaholic, spending most of his 24 hours a day working. For him, work was more numbing than any drug.
……
After waiting for a while without a reply, Jiang Liwu assumed that Fu Siyue was still too surprised to process the overwhelming amount of information.
Wei Xifeng thought Fu Siyue was being pretentious. He took his phone and sent a message to remind Fu Siyue to reply, only to receive a red exclamation mark indicating that the message had been rejected.
Wei Xifeng's eyes widened in disbelief, and the next second he realized that this was probably not what Fu Siyue did.
If it were Fu Siyue, he would have arrived at the Wei family during the time he hadn't received a reply. Even if the message was false, he would have come to confirm it in person upon seeing a photo that looked exactly like his teacher.
However, he did not intend to explain for Fu Siyue, and instead looked cautiously at Jiang Liwu.
After a moment of surprise, Jiang Liwu smiled and said, "It's alright, Xiao Yue has a good awareness of fraud prevention." Indeed, making Fu Siyue believe that someone who died twenty years ago is still alive is just like an online scammer claiming to be Ultraman and asking for money.
Wei Xifeng swiped his finger across his WeChat Moments list and tentatively asked, "How about trying other people?"
"No need." After Fu Siyue's reaction, Jiang Liwu gave up the idea of contacting other people by phone, thinking that it would be better to meet in person. She was a living person, after all.
Wei Xifeng tilted his head slightly to suppress the ever-growing corners of his mouth.
It's not that he didn't tell Fu Siyue, it's that he was given the opportunity but failed to use it, so no wonder he monopolized Jiang Liwu.
"Teacher, didn't you want to eat hot pot? I had someone prepare a square pot."
Jiang Liwu's eyes lit up at the mention of hot pot, and she could almost smell the steaming aroma of the pot, filled with a warm and cozy atmosphere.
Wei Xifeng specifically mentioned that it was a square pot, and Jiang Liwu asked curiously, "Is there anything different about this square pot?"
Wei Xifeng nodded, "This pot is made of copper, which makes the meat better for hot pot than ordinary pots, and the broth it makes is more flavorful. The outside is painted with enamel, which has a unique heat transfer function, allowing the meat slices to be heated evenly and perfectly, keeping the meat tender and smooth."
Jiang Liwu swallowed hard, then quickly stood up. "Let's go."
Wei Xifeng's eyes were full of smiles. "Let's go."
Bal felt that the formation couldn't be messed up either, so he roared.
