Chapter 1787: How Can This Be Called Wasted Money? Just Listen to Me, I'm Never Wrong
On Sunday, several members of the Fu family boarded a bus to Jin City early in the morning.
They first went to the school where the former daughter-in-law had studied, delivered clothes and food for their granddaughter Jin Yi, got some news from Zhang Yurong, and then went to the Gongan Bureau to find Zhang Xiangyang, Fu Yan Cheng's comrade-in-arms.
Only then did they learn that Fu Yan Hong had likely been set up in a honey trap.
Zhang Xiangyang looked at the Fu family members: "Uncle Fu, Auntie Fu, Big Brother Fu, I think I should tell you something. That woman seems to be pregnant. During the summer vacation, someone saw her go to the obstetrics and gynecology department; she stayed inside for a long time for an examination before coming out. But that doctor is her cousin, so even if we investigate further, we won't find anything."
Upon hearing this, Fu's mother was furious: "Xiangyang, Auntie thanks you for helping us so much. When you return to Jing City one day, come to our home, and Auntie will cook something delicious for you. Today we must leave first; we still need to go see that scoundrel Yan Hong."
Zhang Xiangyang saw them out of the Gongan Bureau, watched them walk away, and only then turned back, thinking to himself: Truly, every family has its own difficult problems.
Fu's mother was so angry her body trembled: "That rascal Liu Laosan won't raise his own daughter but lets someone trick him into raising another man's child. If he insists on going through with the marriage, I will sever our mother-son relationship and never let him set foot in my house again."
When they arrived at the school, it was exactly noon when classes ended. After sending someone to pass a message, Fu Yan Hong soon appeared at the school gate: "Mom, Dad, Big Brother, you've come."
Fu's father's face turned cold: "Fu Yan Hong, you are no longer young. You have been working and mixing in society for so long. I never expected you to be tricked like this. You truly bring shame to the Fu family."
Fu Yan Hong, confused by the scolding that came at him all at once, asked: "Dad, what are you talking about?"
Fu's father, with a hostile look in his eyes, said: "I ask you, how long has that woman been pregnant?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Yan Hong's head went 'Buzz!': "Dad, you... why are you asking this?"
Fu's mother didn't waste any more words with him: "You are grown up now; we cannot take care of you for the rest of your life. That woman went to the obstetrics and gynecology department during the summer vacation, and that doctor is reportedly her cousin. If you don't want to raise another man's child, take her for an examination. Don't be a happy father to someone else's child while laughing to yourself; the Fu family cannot afford such shame."
Remembering something, Fu's mother added: "If the child in that woman's womb is not yours, and you still intend to marry her or move into her family, then I will cut all ties with you. Make sure you understand me."
Fu Yan Ming quickly spoke up to smooth things over: "Yan Hong, how did you meet that woman?"
Hearing his eldest brother's question, Fu Yan Hong couldn't help but recall those few chance encounters, and then remembered how she wouldn't let him accompany her to the hospital. It seemed almost certain that his mother was right; he had been tricked.
Hearing his family's words, he suddenly felt as if enlightenment had struck him: "Mom, Dad, Big Brother, I know what to do. Rest assured, I will handle this matter myself."
Hearing him say this, Fu's father and mother's anger finally subsided somewhat. They had lunch together and then hurried to the train station to board the return train.
Fu Yan Hong, being quite shrewd, went directly to a more distant hospital that afternoon and sent a message to that woman, saying he had been injured and was in the hospital, asking her to come and take care of him.
When the woman arrived and saw the bandage wrapped around his ankle, she asked: "Yan Hong, how did you get hurt?"
Fu Yan Hong calmly soothed her: "I'm fine, just a minor injury. I told them not to say anything, but I didn't expect they still told you."
After some back-and-forth between the two, Fu Yan Hong suddenly changed the subject: "Since you are here, I will accompany you to the obstetrics and gynecology department for an examination to fulfill my duty as a 'father'."
The woman panicked upon hearing this and immediately waved her hands: "No need, no need. I just had an examination a few days ago. Why spend that wasted money? It's better to save it and buy me some nutritional supplements."
Fu Yan Hong had indeed been mixing in society for a few years; before, he seemed as if someone had cast a spell on him, but now that he was clear-headed, how could he let the woman have her way? "How can this be called wasted money? Just listen to me; I'm never wrong."
