Report to the president, the lady doesn't want you anymore

Chapter 117 Still waters run deep (5)

What Fu Xu said was not as euphemistic and implicit as a question, but a decisive and unquestionable statement.

These sudden words were like a thunderclap, striking Zhou Feifei's heart directly and making her tremble all over.

You know, this matter is extremely secretive. Even Zhou Feifei herself only learned the inside story in an extremely accidental and unexpected situation.

And now, Fu Xu actually knew all about it, which really made Zhou Feifei feel incredible.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand what you are saying at all!"

Facing Fu Xu's questioning, Zhou Feifei pretended to be calm and insisted that she knew nothing about it.

After all, she had just reached a secret agreement with Ye Zhen on this matter not long ago. How could she easily reveal the truth at this moment?

However, seeing Zhou Feifei being so stubborn, Fu Xu did not get angry.

He slowly approached Zhou Feifei, a faint, playful smile on his face, and said softly, "It seems that you intend to let He Li know the real reason why his mother and He Mian met with the accident seven years ago."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Feifei's face turned pale instantly and she screamed in horror: "Don't even think about it! Absolutely not!"

Her voice became sharp and piercing due to extreme fear, and the volume unconsciously rose a lot.

For Zhou Feifei, that incident was a taboo in her heart that could never be touched, especially she could not let He Li know the truth.

If He Li discovered anything, Zhou Feifei would surely face a nightmare worse than death, the horror of which would even exceed the threat posed by death itself.

"Since you are afraid, then I think you should know what to do next, right?" Zhou Feifei only felt that the layers of smoke were like an invisible force, tightly wrapping her.

She felt as if she were in a sea of ​​fog, with everything she saw hazy and chaotic, leaving her feeling inexplicably oppressive and helpless. However, at this moment, she knew very well that in the face of the current situation, choosing the lesser of two evils was the wisest option.

"Yes, just as you said, Gu Yan's mother and He Li's mother are indeed sisters with the same blood relationship. This means that Gu Yan and He Li are actually cousins."

Zhou Feifei spoke slowly, her tone so calm that not a trace of emotion could be heard.

Deep down, Fu Xu was not too surprised by this answer.

After all, the intelligence relayed by his well-trained informants was already over 90% accurate. However, Fu Xu was a man who insisted on absolute certainty in everything he did, and only with personal confirmation from Zhou Feifei, a member of the He family, could the matter be considered finalized.

Gu Yan, who had been eavesdropping furtively on the next floor, now turned pale and covered his mouth and nose tightly with his hands in fear, fearing that even the slightest sound would be noticed.

Her beautiful eyes were wide open, as if they were about to fall out of their sockets, and her heart was filled with unspeakable fear and shock.

She could never have imagined that the so-called truth that she had gone through so much hardship and searched for everywhere would be so cruel and ruthless!

This fact hit her heart like a heavy hammer, making it almost impossible for her to breathe, and she dared not believe what was happening before her eyes.

However, just as she was distracted by the extreme shock, the shoes under her feet accidentally produced a slight friction with the ground. Although the sound was so subtle that it was almost inaudible, it was particularly clear and harsh in this quiet environment.

Fu Xu, who was standing at the entrance of the corridor, moved his ears slightly, and the burning cigarette in his hand was instantly extinguished by him at an extremely fast speed.

His movements were clean and smooth, without the slightest hesitation. At the same time, he coldly spat out three words: "Are you still not coming out?"

Fu Xu has not stood still and made no progress over the years. On the contrary, in the past seven years, the life and death catastrophes he has experienced are no less than those of He Li.

Therefore, as early as when Gu Yan was carefully and secretly following him just now, he had actually keenly noticed that there was someone behind him.

However, the truth of this matter originally needed to be made known to Gu Yan, one of the parties involved.

Instead of telling Gu Yan about it himself, it would be better to tell her through someone else. This way, perhaps Gu Yan would be more receptive.

Surprisingly, after hearing Fu Xu's words, Gu Yan didn't turn around and run away. Instead, as if she had made up her mind, she took firm steps, one after another, and stepped steadily into the corridor leading to where Fu Xu was...

When Zhou Feifei finally saw clearly that the person standing in front of her was Gu Yan, a look of joy unexpectedly appeared on her originally nervous face.

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she said with an elusive smile, "Oh, I'm so sorry. Originally, regarding this secret, I promised Mom a long time ago that I would never tell anyone a word. But, who can blame Fu Shao for being so persistent and insisting on getting to the bottom of it? I really can't refuse, so this is the only way."

These words sounded full of apology, but if you listen carefully, you will find that from beginning to end, Zhou Feifei's tone and expression did not reveal even a trace of real guilt.

On the other hand, Gu Yan never glanced at Zhou Feifei from beginning to end, as if the person in front of him did not exist at all.

Instead, she got straight to the point and asked, "Fu Xu, I want to know what Zhou Feifei did to He Li's mother and eldest brother seven years ago?"

This sudden question obviously surprised Zhou Feifei.

Obviously, she never expected that Gu Yan would mention this old story at this moment.

It seems that Gu Yan had already heard every word of the conversation between him and Fu Xu just now.

After realizing that the matter might be exposed, Zhou Feifei could no longer maintain her previous calmness.

She instantly became flustered and hurriedly reached out to grab Fu Xu's sleeve, shouting anxiously, "Mr. Fu, you promised me in person! You said you would help me keep this secret! Please, don't tell anyone!"

Faced with Zhou Feifei's sudden action, Fu Xu frowned slightly, and without hesitation, he shook it off and quickly broke free from her pull.

Then he responded coldly: "I did promise not to tell He Li about this, but I never said that even my A Yan couldn't know."

Just when Gu Yan hadn't reacted yet, Zhou Feifei turned the gun in her hand swiftly as if someone had pressed a switch, and then knelt down in front of Gu Yan with a thud.

"I'm sorry, Gu Yan! I beg you not to ask any more questions, okay? No matter what, Mom and He Mian have fully recovered now, and Mom has long made up her mind not to pursue the things that happened seven years ago. So, please have mercy on us and stop trying to tear open the wounds that we have finally healed, okay?"

If we talk about the speed of changing faces, if Zhou Feifei claims to be second, I'm afraid no one would dare to claim to be first.

Gu Yan's heart sank as she watched Zhou Feifei kneel down without hesitation to prevent her from learning the truth. She knew very well that the incident that had caused Zhou Feifei to do this was most likely inextricably linked to her.

"Hmph, are the officials allowed to set fires but the people are not allowed to light lamps? Your wound is important, but should others just blame themselves for their injuries? Zhou Feifei, even if He Li and I cannot end up together, I will never tolerate you hurting him or his family in the slightest!" Gu Yan said righteously, his eyes filled with determination and anger.

Seeing Gu Yan's tough attitude, Zhou Feifei realized that saying anything more would be futile. So, she took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and slowly stood up from the ground.

Fu Xu stood leisurely to one side, a carefree expression on his face. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he spoke with a hint of sarcasm, "Seven years ago, the culprit who caused the misfortune of the He family mother and son was none other than this Miss Zhou! At the time, this woman harbored ulterior motives and became pregnant with another man's child, even attempting to pin the blame on He Mian. When Ye Zhen learned of this, he was anxious to rush over and inform He Mian, but things didn't go as planned. Just then, news of He Li's story suddenly broke. As for what happened afterwards... hmph, I think even if I don't tell you, with your intelligence, you must know everything clearly, right?"

In this way, poor He Li spent a long time carrying this heavy responsibility and guilt. He endured everything silently, but in fact he was just taking the blame for the sinister Zhou Feifei.

It's really sad that he has been struggling to move forward over the years due to the mistakes of others!

In a short period of time, the truth of the two things was clearly revealed to Gu Yan.

She looked at Zhou Feifei, a woman, and couldn't help but feel a chill. How could there be such a shameless person in the world who could live in the He family for seven years with a clear conscience, and still love He Li after such an outrageous thing happened.

The existence of such people made Gu Yan feel extremely disgusted.

Zhou Feifei's scandal was exposed. She looked at Fu Xu, then at Gu Yan, and suddenly an evil idea came to her mind.

"Gu Yan, I'm not as lucky as you. You don't have to do anything to get all of He Li's love, but even if I offered myself voluntarily, He Li didn't even give me an extra glance. But God is fair. It's impossible for you and He Li to be together until death!"
