Chapter 166 Li Zitao Visits Fu's Residence

Knowing that his nephew was coming to visit his home, Fu Qiyuan returned to the top of Victoria Peak after finishing work in the morning.

When the housekeeper came to report that a guest was visiting, Fu Ziyan was playing with a ball of yarn with Jiqing. Upon hearing this, she immediately got up and went out to greet the guest.

After all, Li Zitao was nominally visiting her friend, and it was polite to greet him at the door.

Fu Mingzhang was excited in his heart, but he did not show it on his face. He pretended to be calm and sat opposite Fu Qiyuan in the tea room next to the reception room, drinking tea.

Fu Qiyuan glanced at the old man with a smile and said teasingly, "Dad is still as determined as he was back then."

Fu Mingzhang snorted, "Titi will also go to study in the UK in two months, don't ask me to laugh at you then."

Fu Qiyuan paused and chuckled helplessly, "I always feel that Ti Ti is still the same as when she was acting like a spoiled brat and didn't want to go to class every day. How come this child has grown up so quickly? To be honest, Dad, I really can't bear to let her go."

"Children grow up in the blink of an eye. It was useless for me to be reluctant to let your brother go back then." Although Fu Mingzhang was smiling, nostalgia and melancholy appeared in his eyes.

As they were talking, Fu Ziyan had already led Li Zitao to the reception room.

"My father and grandfather are in the teahouse next door. Shall I take you to meet them?" Fu Ziyan pointed at the teahouse and said with a smile.

Li Zitao said seriously, "It's my duty."

When visiting a friend's home, it is polite to greet the elders.

It was reasonable and logical, and even the servants coming and going would not find it awkward.

Li Quyi holds a high position in the mainland, and his identity should not be exposed. Even in Hong Kong, only Fu Ziyan and his grandfather and father know about it.

The second and third branches of the Fu family, as well as the housekeepers and servants, knew nothing about it.

The Fu family mansion was well-insulated and the servants were well-trained. Knowing that the eldest daughter was entertaining friends in the living room, the servants had already laid out drinks and snacks. According to the eldest daughter's instructions, no one dared to approach and disturb her.

The same goes for teahouses.

Therefore, the meeting between Li Zitao and his grandfather and second uncle was safe.

As soon as they entered the tea room and closed the door, Fu Ziyan said with a smile, "Brother Zitao, hurry up and call me 'Grandpa' and 'Second Uncle'!"

This joke perfectly breaks the embarrassment and helplessness Li Zitao felt when he met his closest relatives whom he had never met after learning his true life experience.

Li Zitao followed Fu Ziyan's words, walked forward, stood in front of the elders, and greeted them politely, "Hello, Grandpa, hello, Second Uncle, I'm Zitao."

Fu Mingzhang smiled, his eyes filled with kindness. "Good boy, since this is the first time I've met you, I should have given you a gift. But given the current situation, it wouldn't be a good idea to give you anything. I'll just owe you this gift."

Li Zitao was still quite intimidating when he was serious. He shook his head and said seriously, "It's enough for me to see you once. Forget about the gift. When Dad told me the truth earlier, he specifically mentioned that if I ever get the chance to see you, I'll definitely tell you that everything is fine with us and you don't have to worry."

Fu Mingzhang's smile deepened. He felt that although this grandson of his eldest son did not grow up in his presence, he was well-mannered and well-mannered, and had a good upbringing. He was an excellent child. It showed that Qihuai had a harmonious family and a happy life.

Previously, when Ti Ti and Yun Zhi told him about their experiences in the mainland with the four members of the Li family, he was happy to hear it, but when he actually met Li Zitao, his worries about his eldest son gradually subsided.

"I'm glad your father is doing well. For the past ten years, the only thing I've missed was him, even though we were so far apart. Now that he's living a happy life and his children are successful, your grandmother would be relieved if she knew."

Seeing the sadness in Grandpa's tone, Fu Ziyan quickly spoke in a wronged tone to divert Grandpa's attention, "Alas, it turns out that Grandpa has been thinking about Uncle for the past ten years. Poor Dad and I, it's really sad that Grandpa doesn't care about us."

Fu Mingzhang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You little rascal, isn't grandpa worried about you enough? Every time you get naughty and make your dad angry, and have to stand facing the wall or have extra classes, it's not grandpa who specially calls to save you, or who else?"

Fu Ziyan acted as if she had suddenly realized something, crossed her index fingers on her lips, and walked forward with a chuckle, shaking Grandpa's hand and acting coquettishly, "Ah, that was a slip of the tongue by Grandpa and me. We both take it back~"

Li Zitao was stunned. How could his little cousin be so good at acting like a spoiled child?

It turns out that the Fu family has such a good family atmosphere. He thought that the wealthy families in Hong Kong were fighting openly and secretly, just like what was written in operas.

Fu Qiyuan smiled helplessly, chuckled and shook his head, asked Li Zitao to sit down, and handed him a cup of tea. "Don't worry about your sister. She is the best at acting like a spoiled child, but she has done a lot of naughty things."

Li Zitao was familiar with this. When Chinese parents met guests, they were helpless about their own children, but the guests could not really follow these "modest" words, otherwise the relationship would be severed soon.

Moreover, although the second uncle said that his daughter was naughty, his tone was full of indulgence and there was no sense of blame at all.

He took the teacup with a smile. "Uncle, you're joking. My sister is lively and cute, and she's very smart. I ran into her at a restaurant a few days ago, and before we even had a proper conversation, she had already anticipated my needs and arranged for someone to prepare the house keys."

Fu Qiyuan's expression remained unchanged, but he was more satisfied with his nephew Li Zitao in his heart.

Because of his elder brother whom he had not seen for many years, and because his daughter got along well with Li Zitao, he had a good impression of his nephew, but no matter what, he could not compare to the daughter he raised.

Li Zitao gave such a sincere example to praise his daughter Ti Ti. No matter how he behaves in the outside world, he cannot hide the fact that he is a father.

Fu Ziyan, who was originally smiling and acting coquettishly with her grandfather to distract him from his sadness, turned around and smiled when she heard the conversation between her father and her little cousin. "Brother Tao Zi really has a good eye for talent. I am really that smart and beautiful!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the room was filled with laughter.

The atmosphere was harmonious and natural, without any trace of the awkwardness and politeness when one first entered.

Seeing Li Zitao looking down at his watch, Fu Ziyan remembered the purpose of his visit and took the initiative to speak, "As smart as I am, I can guess that Brother Zitao is here on a mission. Let me see, is there anything I can do to help you?"

Li Zitao breathed a sigh of relief. Although recognizing relatives was a big deal, the current task was also important.

Seeing his grandfather so happy, he couldn't bear to say the serious matter aloud for a moment, as he didn't want to spoil his fun, but there was not much time left to wait any longer.

Fortunately, Ayan spoke up.

He stopped smiling and looked at Fu Ziyan. "There's an antique auction the day after tomorrow. I'd like to attend, but I don't have an invitation. I'll have to trouble Sister Ayan for help."

Fu Ziyan chuckled, "No problem, it's a piece of cake. Do you want to go in by yourself, or do you need my protection and companionship?"

Before Li Zitao could speak, Fu Qiyuan asked, "Is there any danger?"

His eyes were gentle and his expression was calm as usual, but Fu Ziyan could see a message on her father's face: "If there is any danger, you are not allowed to go."

A warm feeling passed through Fu Ziyan's heart.

He is worthy of being her father!

"I can go by myself. If my sister wants to come, that's fine too." Li Zitao answered her question first, then turned to look at her father. "Don't worry, uncle. I'm just going in here to confirm some things. Nothing dangerous will happen."

Fu Qiyuan nodded and looked at Ti Ti, "Titi, do you want to go?"

Fu Ziyan was a little eager to try. She had seen so many thrilling detective films in her previous life that it would be a lie to say she wasn't curious. Who hadn't played the role of a policeman catching bad guys when playing house as a child?

But thinking that her father might be worried, and also fearing that her lack of experience would accidentally hinder the team, Fu Ziyan finally decided to give up.

Although it is said to be "finally", the actual thinking time is only about ten seconds.

She shook her head gently. "I won't go. I wish Brother Zitao all the best. I remember the antique auction you mentioned. I think I received an invitation last week. I'll find it and bring it to you later. You can just attend as my friend."

"Thank you, Ayan."

"You're welcome," Fu Ziyan said with a smile, jokingly, "Okay, now that we've finished our business, let's get back to the family reunion. Brother Zitao, can you tell me about your family's past few years?"

Li Zitao nodded. Seeing his grandfather looking at him seriously, he smiled and began to tell the story, "When I was a child..."

Fu Mingzhang listened attentively, and Li Zitao also spoke seriously.

Fu Ziyan automatically took on the role of serving tea.

There's nothing she can do about it, since she's the youngest here.

Fu Qiyuan listened and smiled as he instructed his daughter on how to make tea.

Listening, talking, brewing tea, and giving instructions. The afternoon sun slants through the blinds of the teahouse, creating a peaceful atmosphere inside, as if even the air is filled with warmth.

There is always a time for gathering and separation.

Li Zitao only stayed at Fu's house for two hours before getting up to say goodbye.

"I should go back. My teammates are still waiting for news from me."

Fu Mingzhang understood very well and only told him, "Be careful. When you see your father, tell him that I have Qiyuan and Ti Ti by my side. Everything is fine."

"Okay, take care of yourself, Grandpa."

Fu Ziyan politely escorted him to the car and said, "I had a great time today. You're welcome to come and play again next time."

"Thank you for your hospitality, Ayan. Goodbye."

When Fu Ziyan returned home, she received a call from Xi Qingqing.

"Yan Yan, I just passed by Russell Street. Guess what I saw?"

Fu Ziyan's interest was piqued. Xi Qingqing was rarely so excited. "What?"

"It's He Simian. She's dating someone else."

Fu Ziyan was bored. "Ah, her. I've heard too much about her recently. I don't even bother to care about the love story between Fu Zimu and his girlfriend. It's boring."

Xi Qingqing chuckled, "This time is different. Guess who's holding her hand?"

"You're so happy, it can't be one of your half-brothers." Fu Ziyan guessed casually.

"As expected of you, Yanyan, you guessed it all!" Even though Fu Ziyan guessed it, the joy in Xi Qingqing's tone did not diminish in the slightest, "Do you want to guess again which brother of mine is it?"

Fu Ziyan was silent for a moment. Xi Qingqing's happiness was obviously a very favorable situation for her.

"Could it be your fourth brother who's still pretty good looking?" Fu Ziyan said, even a little unconvinced. "Isn't he still a junior in college?"

Xi Qingqing couldn't help but burst out laughing. "That's right. My dad has four sons, and only the fourth one is pretty useful right now. He's studying management, and his grades are above average. He's been preparing applications to study in the UK and the US while interning at a company. I originally thought he would be my strongest rival, but who knew he'd actually compete with Fu Zimu for a woman in public."

She took a breath and continued speaking excitedly.

"That He Simian and Fu Zimu's love affair is well known in our circle. Everyone knows that Fu Zimu was temporarily kicked out of the house for her. And yet, He Simian was actually seen holding hands with my fourth brother on the street. When I left, not only did Fu Zimu rush over and stand across from my fourth brother, who was still holding my hand, and confront him, but later, reporters from various media outlets also arrived."

Xi Qingqing laughed heartily and spoke rapidly, describing the scene vividly.

Finally, to summarize the above content, "Yan Yan, just wait and see, there will be something interesting in tomorrow's newspaper."

The melons from wealthy families have always been the favorite of Hong Kong citizens.

Although newspapers are keen on seizing the initiative, if all newspapers report on the story, the only one that will stand out is the one with a unique angle or extremely offensive language.

Hong Kong's print media has always been sharp, so you can imagine how heated tomorrow's newspapers will be.

Fu Ziyan was stunned when she heard this, and many thoughts flashed through her mind.

Fu Zimu was willing to break up for love, but he still got cuckolded?

I wonder if the stocks of Fu’s subsidiaries will be affected tomorrow?

I'll inform Zhang Boyao later to pay attention to the reports in various newspapers tomorrow, especially the tabloids. People with unique angles and sharp words should seize this opportunity and try to dig into this corner if possible!

...

Fu Ziyan calmed down her thoughts and said after a while, "He Simian is a talented person."

Isn't he a talented person?

She has taken down two of the most likely heirs to several of Hong Kong's top wealthy families.

Although Fu Ziyan never thought that her father would let Fu Zimu become the heir of the Fu family, it did not stop the Hong Kong citizens and even some small wealthy people in power from speculating so. After all, before He Simian appeared, Fu Zimu's performance in the company was indeed remarkable, and Fu Zimu himself was the eldest grandson of the third generation of the Fu family.

The same is true for the shipping tycoon Xi family.

All of the Xi family's children were born to concubines, and the battle for succession had them on the same page from the outset. Unfortunately, the eldest son was ambitious but lacked talent, the second son was mediocre, and the third son was too philandering to inherit. Only the fourth son remained, and though still young, he was already well on his way to becoming the heir.

The future was uncertain, but at the moment, she seemed to be the most likely heir to the Xi family. After all, according to social norms, from shareholders to Hong Kong citizens, no one believed that a wealthy family like the Xi family would abandon a son and allow a daughter to inherit.

How could He Simian, who had fled to Hong Kong from the mainland, actually attract two wealthy young men who were considered "heirs-to-be"? This was especially true since He Simian wasn't particularly beautiful, and after all, wealthy young men had seen countless beauties.

Xi Qingqing laughed heartily. "Yan Yan, you're right. He Simian must be very charming, or she must be very good at winning people's hearts. Anyway, I'm really curious about He Simian now. Her ability is really helping me get to the top!"

With what Fourth Young Master Xi did, it is inevitable that the stock price of Xi's company will fall tomorrow morning.
