Chapter 343

Johor State is one of the thirteen states of Malaysia and also the state with the second-largest number of Chinese people living in Malaysia, facing Singapore across the sea, with a superior geographical location.

And in Johor Bahru, the core urban area of Johor State, Chinese people account for as high as 41.5%, only a little lower than the 44% of Malays.

Fu Hearing Fu Guiru lives in a detached small villa in a wealthy area of Johor Bahru. Although it is not as luxurious and extravagant as those large suburban manors, it wins in good public security and a strong Chinese atmosphere.

At 5:30 in the afternoon, Fu Hearing Fu Guiru came home from work at the Fu family company and found that Fu Fu Zhiman, who should have returned home from school, was not there, and only her daughter Fu Fu Yiruo was at home.

Fu Hearing Fu Guiru asked her daughter while changing her shoes: "Xiao Ruo, where is your brother? Playing video games upstairs again? Didn't I tell you to control his game time?"

Fu Fu Yiruo helped the servant bring the meal to the table and said to her mother: "Auntie came back today and said she took brother to stay for a few days. Also, mother, don't let me manage brother in the future; I can't manage him anymore."

"Can't manage? Heh~, that's because you are too soft."

Fu Hearing Fu Guiru sat at the dining table and said with a smile: "As long as you are tough enough, there is no younger brother that a sister cannot manage."

"But..."

Fu Fu Yiruo stopped talking, sullenly picked up her chopsticks, and ate by herself.

Fu Hearing Fu Guiru's face sank, waved her hand, and let the servant go out.

"What's wrong, Xiao Ruo? Did you hear any gossip?"

Fu Fu Yiruo pouted, nodded, looking a bit aggrieved.

Fu Hearing Fu Guiru gave a light laugh and asked again: "Did your aunt tell you? Or did the driver Old Xu say it?"

Fu Fu Yiruo poked the rice in her bowl with chopsticks and said in a low voice: "Auntie saw the scars on brother's face and said some harsh words. I think she said them for you to hear."

"No need to pay attention to her," Fu Hearing Fu Guiru said indifferently. "As an elder, you just listen to what she says, but you don't have to take it seriously. If she really says it urgently, let her come and tell me. What's the point of letting a child pass the message?"

"I am not a child anymore."

Fu Fu Yiruo protested dissatisfiedly, and then suddenly said in a low voice: "Mother, you can't be too casual with brother in the future; he will hold a grudge."

"Hold a grudge?" Fu Hearing Fu Guiru couldn't help laughing: "He dares to hold a grudge against me? Is he rebelling?"

But Fu Fu Yiruo looked at Fu Hearing Fu Guiru and said: "Mother, this time we went to Singapore, brother insisted on following, and he didn't leave your side. Don't you think it's strange?"

Fu Hearing Fu Guiru was stunned for a moment, was in a daze for a while, and then murmured: "He used to... be very sticky to me..."

"But I think it's not right," Fu Fu Yiruo shook her head and said: "Since Uncle passed away, don't you think Xiao Man is a bit strange?"

"He never cared about what business our family had before, but now he is mysterious and always on the phone with Auntie."

Fu Hearing Fu Guiru put down her bowl and chopsticks and thought silently.

A few days ago, she watched the broadcast of the college debate competition at home, and then set off for Singapore the next day.

At that time, she really didn't plan to take Fu Fu Zhiman with her, but the next day Fu Fu Zhiman first had a stomachache, tossed around in the hospital for a long time, and then stuck to Fu Hearing Fu Guiru to go together.

Seeing her mother thinking intently, Fu Fu Yiruo left the restaurant and soon walked back with a few newspapers.

"Yesterday I found brother in his room, comparing these newspapers with your photos, mother. He never read newspapers before."

Fu Hearing Fu Guiru took the newspapers and found that these newspapers all published the content of the debate competition, and there were portrait pictures of Li Ye on them.

Fu Hearing Fu Guiru was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, she saw her daughter approach her side and lower her voice: "Mom, that Li Ye... does he have anything to do with me?"

Fu Fu Yiruo saw that her mother didn't say anything, and also took out a half-length photo of herself and placed it side by side with those newspapers.

"Mother, now it's not just brother who is suspicious!"

Fu Hearing Fu Guiru: "..."

Actually, in daily life, many times people around suddenly say "Hey, you and so-and-so look so much alike," but the person involved doesn't feel it at all.

Because the person involved is not looking in the mirror all the time and doesn't have a definite understanding of their own facial features.

But if you put the photos of two people together, the similarities in their eyebrows and features are clear at a glance.

Li Ye in the newspaper, even if it is not particularly clear because of the newspaper pixel, has six or seven parts of similarity compared to Fu Fu Yiruo in the photo.

Especially the eyes and nose, which are carved from the same mold.

"Mom, is he my brother?"

Looking at her daughter's bright eyes, Fu Hearing Fu Guiru sighed helplessly.

"Whether he is your brother or not, what does it matter? He should return to the Chinese mainland very soon, and there may not be a chance to come to Nanyang again in his whole life."

Fu Fu Yiruo opened her mouth wide and was stunned for a long time.

Although her mother didn't admit it directly, she completely understood that she had an inseparable special relationship with Li Ye.

However, she then strangely said: "Mother, brother has no chance to come again? But we can go! Malaysia and the Chinese mainland established diplomatic relations in '74, right?"

"Easier said than done, the situation in the Chinese mainland is very complicated, you won't understand..."

Fu Hearing Fu Guiru's face looked miserable, "Xiao Ruo, you and I have lived in Malaysia for these years, worry-free and without any difficulties, but the mainland is different!"

"You can't believe what kind of despair it is... even Li Ye and the others suffered for more than ten years, and now they have barely gotten better..."

Looking at the tears filling her mother's eyes again, Fu Fu Yiruo suddenly said: "No wonder mother, you gave that watch to brother..."

Fu Hearing Fu Guiru wiped her tears and said: "What is a watch? If possible... we should give them more compensation..."

"Mother, you can only say this to me, don't let brother know... when you went to see brother... that Li Ye, it was too reckless."

Fu Fu Yiruo looked outside the door, feeling as guilty as a thief.

"Same name, looks alike, age matches, and is from Dongshan. If I didn't go... what if I missed it? I wrote so many letters..."

Fu Hearing Fu Guiru suddenly smiled and said: "But what kind of recklessness is this? Your mother is a person of integrity, and even more knows how to be grateful. What is not ours, we absolutely do not take."

"Although mother's shares are not many, as long as I make the Fu family company big, it is enough for our family to be rich for three generations, so I don't need to care what others think."

Fu Fu Yiruo looked at her confident mother and couldn't help but say: "Mother, you are so upright, but others may not think so. And that watch..."

"What's wrong with that watch?"

"I'm not sure either, anyway, Mom, you have to be mentally prepared."

"You are still playing dumb with me?"

Facing Fu Hearing Fu Guiru's surprised questioning, Fu Fu Yiruo chose to remain silent and eat, leaving her mother with no way to deal with it.

But the next morning, Fu Hearing Fu Guiru knew the reason.

"Beep beep beep beep~"

The sky had just brightened, and a golden sports car was impatiently honking its horn in front of Fu Hearing Fu Guiru's house, waking up several families nearby and making them open their windows early in the morning.

But the person driving had no intention of apologizing. Fu Hearing Fu Guiru's servant opened the door just a little slowly, and she was scolded by her.

After the sports car entered the gate, the door opened, and a woman wearing a tight skirt with an extremely arrogant expression stepped out.

If Li Ye were on the scene, he would definitely give an evaluation of "powder face, big waves, thirty-something little girl."

But this woman was even more arrogant than the little girl who looked like a fairy. Regardless of whether the owner had woken up or not, she stepped on her high heels and rushed upstairs with a "click, click, click." The servants in the house didn't dare to say a word of obstruction.

By the time she got upstairs, Fu Hearing Fu Guiru had been waiting for her in the study.

"Fu Guiyin, looking at you like this, you must be holding a lot of anger in your heart, right? I'll remind you: don't vent your anger on me."

"I've also been holding anger in my heart recently because the cooperation with the Lin family is not going well!"

The big waves were stunned for a moment, and the arrogant momentum just now suddenly dropped a notch.

But her face didn't look weak at all, but coldly said: "Cousin, today I saw a slap mark on Xiao Man's face. Why?"

Fu Hearing Fu Guiru raised her eyelids, glanced at Fu Fu Guiyin, and said: "Do I need a reason to hit my son?"

"Son?" Fu Fu Guiyin sneered and said in a low voice: "Cousin, you've been acting for so many years, have you acted until you believe it yourself? Xiao Man is not your son."

"Oh?"

Fu Hearing Fu Guiru looked at her cousin in surprise and also said in a low voice: "Cousin, do you not want to act anymore? Do you want me to arrange for a newspaper statement tomorrow so that you can recognize your mother and son?"

Fu Fu Guiyin's big wavy hair trembled faintly, not knowing if it was due to anger.

After a long time, she said: "Cousin, are you trying to use Xiao Man as a weapon to hold the emperor hostage to command the princes?"

"Ha~"

Fu Hearing Fu Guiru couldn't help laughing.

"Fu Guiyin, this arrangement was decided by the second uncle. You didn't dare to recognize your son when the second uncle was still alive."

"Why, now that the second uncle is dead, do you want to recognize your son and go fight with Miss Zheng for her husband?"

Fu Fu Guiyin swallowed and said with a disdainful expression: "I don't want to fight for a man. I don't care about men now, I don't care about any man."

"Miss Zheng may not believe that you don't care about her husband," Fu Hearing Fu Guiru said coldly. "At the beginning, Xu Xu Ziliang already married Miss Zheng, but you got pregnant with his child. Do you think she can believe you don't care about Xu Xu Ziliang now?"

"I now..."

Fu Fu Guiyin was about to argue, but Fu Hearing Fu Guiru said decisively: "Fu Guiyin, twelve years ago we couldn't afford to offend the Zheng family, and we still can't afford to offend the Zheng family now."

"If you want to recognize your son, help me make the Fu family company big, big enough to surpass the Zheng family. At that time, you can fight however you want, but now... you cannot bring disaster to the Fu family."

"I brought disaster? You actually said I brought disaster, then what did you bring?"

Fu Fu Guiyin was still angered by her cousin's sharp rebuke.

She pointed her finger at Fu Hearing Fu Guiru and said angrily: "I'm asking you, who did you give my family's watch to?"

Fu Hearing Fu Guiru narrowed her eyes, and faint anger also floated on her face.

"That watch was given to me by the second uncle. It's not yours. I can give it to whoever I want. You have no right to ask."

"I have no right to ask?" Fu Fu Guiyin gritted her teeth and said: "That watch was left by my mother. At that time, my father gave it to you to work for my Fu family, not for you to eat inside and out."

"You say I eat inside and out?"

The angry Fu Hearing Fu Guiru suddenly smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. Tomorrow I will sell the shares and take Xiao Ruo far away. How about that? Are you satisfied?"

Fu Fu Guiyin: "..."

"Look at you now. Besides me, who in the Fu family treats you as the eldest lady of the Fu family?"

"The eldest uncle's family wishes you were dead. Otherwise, why do you think the second uncle arranged the shares like this when he was dying?"

"My father is already dead, he is already dead. When he was alive, he listened to your bewitchment."

"Now that he is dead, you still want to use a dead man to suppress me? I've had enough, I've had enough of you, Fu Hearing Fu Guiru."

Fu Fu Guiyin's eyes widened until they almost popped out, and she finally said irritably to Fu Hearing Fu Guiru: "The Fu family company is mine, not yours. You only give me 200,000 a month, making me live not at all like a rich lady."

"Xu Xu Ziliang left me back then, and you and my father were the main culprits..."

"Now you're good, giving away a watch worth over a million... I'll take back what belongs to me. You wait, you just wait for me!"

"Clatter clatter clatter~"

Fu Fu Guiyin shook her big waves, stepped on her high heels, and left in a rage.

After she left, Fu Fu Yiruo carefully slipped into the study and closed the door behind her.

"Mom, why was Auntie so angry just now?"

"She thinks her pocket money is too little!"

Fu Hearing Fu Guiru pressed her temples with her hands, looking exhausted, not at all like the arrogant person she was just now.

Fu Fu Yiruo immediately went behind her mother and gently pressed Fu Hearing Fu Guiru's head, helping her relieve fatigue and headache.

"Mom, Auntie is a major shareholder. You always control her money... it's not appropriate!"

"What kind of person is your aunt?" Fu Hearing Fu Guiru said helplessly: "Now giving her 200,000 a month, she still occasionally needs me to clean up her mess. If I gave her a million a month, the Fu family company wouldn't be far from bankruptcy."

"Then..."

"Ding ling ling~"

Fu Fu Yiruo was about to speak, but the phone at home rang.

Fu Hearing Fu Guiru picked it up and was shocked: "What? She dares?"
