Chapter 838 Details
"After that incident, I wanted to break up with him, but he came back to apologize in every way. When he saw that I wouldn't budge, his true nature was revealed again. One minute he said I was too conservative, and the next he accused me of being a spoiled princess who was hard to please."
Because I kept refusing to live together—our family's upbringing absolutely forbids premarital cohabitation—he said that compared to people from the Qing Dynasty, the only difference was a long strip of cloth binding my feet. His foreign girlfriend even brought a long strip of cloth to humiliate me…”
Listening to her rambling on and on, Lin Yuyao grew increasingly angry.
Fu Yatong has never suffered such injustice since she was a child.
She was only eighteen when she went abroad. She faced all of this alone overseas without ever saying a word to her family. She endured it all by herself.
Who is that Hao family? They all hang out in Nancheng. How dare they bully Fu Yatong like this?
This was based on the assumption that Fu Yatong's proud self-esteem would prevent her from telling her family.
"Then why did you marry a foreigner?"
"He stepped in to teach the person who humiliated me a lesson, and then proposed to be with him as a way to get revenge on Hao Shaowei. I... I was naive back then, and I agreed on a whim."
Lin Yuyao was speechless.
This is the 1990s! How come there are scenes that would only appear in melodramatic dramas decades later?
"Aren't those foreigners good?"
"Yeah, they're in cahoots. He's even that foreign girl's cousin. These guys look down on Chinese people. They'd never really want to marry me. They're just trying to trick me and swindle my money."
Fu Yatong said sullenly, "Fortunately, I didn't really want to get married anyway, I was just being stubborn."
"You didn't tell your family about something this big? What if something happens to you while you're abroad?"
"No, the other party is just an ordinary person, they can't do anything to me."
"People's skin and hair color are an advantage abroad. Ya-Tong..."
Lin Yuyao was very worried. "If you really don't want your family to know, that's fine. Why don't you tell Sister Leyi? She has many business partners overseas, so it will be much easier for her to arrange for someone to handle this."
Fu Yatong thought for a moment, then shook her head.
"No, I'll try to get a divorce myself first. If... if it really doesn't work out... then we'll talk about it."
Before getting off the bus, Fu Yatong repeatedly told her not to tell anyone.
This really put her in a difficult position.
If I tell anyone, I feel bad for Fu Yatong, and it makes me look like a gossip as her sister-in-law.
If I don't tell you, what if something goes wrong?
For the first time, she, who always loved gossip, regretted it.
Honestly, some gossip is not for you to hear, so don't bother asking about it.
Now they know they're in a dilemma.
……
Some things can't be hidden, and she felt uneasy thinking about Fu Yatong.
What kind of family is the Hao family?
I couldn't sleep at night, tossing and turning, and the people around me naturally noticed.
"Insomnia?"
"Ah."
What's bothering you so much?
Lin Yuyao paused for a moment, then said, "It's about work."
"Didn't they say the contract had already been signed?"
"Yes, it's all set up. There's nothing to worry about. Go to sleep."
Fu Huaiyi: "..." That's not how it is.
"Did Yatong leave today?"
"Oh? Oh, yes, they said they were busy with work."
"What kind of work is only busy for these few days?"
"How would I know? That's her business. I didn't ask."
"You're taking her to the airport?"
"Yes, I had nothing better to do, so I took her there."
"If she's only coming back for a few days, what's the point of her coming back?"
"How would I know? Didn't she tell you?"
Fu Huaiyi: "..."
"Look, she didn't even tell you, so why would she tell me?"
Fu Huaiyi didn't ask any more questions. "Go to sleep."
The next day, Lin Yuyao inquired about the Hao family from Chen Bingzhi.
"The Hao family, why are you suddenly asking about the Hao family?"
"I'm just asking, have you heard of it?"
"Never heard of it," Chen Bingzhi shook his head.
never heard of that?
But she said this place was quite famous in the south of the city.
Perhaps we're not on the same page?
The southern part of the city is so big, how can anyone recognize it all?
“However…” Chen Bingzhi stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then said, “This surname is not common. If you provide more information, I can help you inquire about it.”
Lin Yuyao waved her hand, "Never mind."
"Huh? You asked and then just let it go?"
"Ah."
Chen Bingzhi: "..."
"I was just asking casually, don't overthink it. I thought you were a local expert, so I just asked casually. If you didn't know, then forget it, and don't ask anyone else."
That's what they say, but is Lin Yuyao the kind of person who asks random questions?
When Chen Bingzhi returned home and went fishing that evening, he casually asked a question.
"Brother Fu, have you ever heard of the Hao family?"
Fu Huaiyi's expression froze, and he slowly turned his head towards him. "You heard about it?"
Looking at his expression, Chen Bingzhi suddenly had a bad feeling.
He chuckled twice and said, "It's nothing, I was just asking casually. Never mind if you don't know."
Fu Huaiyi: "..."
"Fishing, fishing, I've noticed my skills have improved."
Fu Huaiyi was an extremely intelligent man, and he quickly connected many issues to the problem.
However, he didn't ask Lin Yuyao directly. How could he not know her?
Since she didn't say it, she must have promised not to tell.
He couldn't let his wife take the blame, so he went to ask Yi Yunshuo.
"Have you heard of a guy named Hao while you're abroad?"
"I do not know."
Yi Yunshuo kept looking up at the sky and then at the ground. He kept looking left and right, but he didn't dare to look at what was in front of him.
Fu Huaiyi's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. He threw the lunchbox into a basin and dragged him to the dormitory.
"Hey, hey, you're all talk, you're throwing my lunchbox..."
Fu Huaiyi pulled him back to his dormitory, slammed the door shut, and locked it.
Yi Yunshuo looked at him in horror, "What do you want to do in broad daylight? Hitting someone is against the rules, you know that, right?"
Fu Huaiyi: "Am I your brother?"
"Yes... of course."
"If something's wrong, shouldn't you keep it from your brother?"
"What...what could I possibly be hiding from you?"
"Hmph, I know exactly what kind of shit you're going to take just by sticking your butt out like that. You think you can hide it from me?"
Yi Yunshuo: "..."
"What happened to that guy surnamed Hao?"
"Huh?" Yi Yunshuo was still pretending to be confused.
Fu Huaiyi then asked, "Is it related to my sister?"
"This……"
"Speak up, if you keep dawdling, don't blame me for cutting off my own hands and feet."
"No, sigh! Brother Yi, you're making things difficult for me. I don't know much either," Yi Yunshuo said with a worried look on his face.
"Not much? You didn't know much after all those years you were there?"
"Yes, I don't know much either."
Fu Huaiyi suppressed his anger, "That person told me what you knew."
"That's how it is, sigh!" Yi Yunshuo sighed deeply before sitting down and speaking slowly.
He knew some things, but not much.
