It was Fu Lian.
He had recognized Mr. Zhou's bodyguard at the door and knew in advance who Wen Baozhu had saved today.
He walked into the room and first nodded to Mr. Zhou. "Mr. Zhou."
"A Lian, why are you here?" The old man was taken aback, not expecting Fu Lian to show up suddenly.
Fu Lian then turned his head and looked at Wen Baozhu.
His look was meaningful, as if waiting for an explanation or an account from her.
Wen Baozhu instantly felt at a loss. She stood up from the chair and stammered for a while, not knowing how to explain.
Should she say that she was panicked when locked up here and had to call for help on the spur of the moment?
But why was the rescuer Fu Lian?
The old man was sharp - eyed. After just a few seconds of pause, he began to help Wen Baozhu out of the awkward situation. "Miss Wen, are you here for a physical examination?"
Wen Baozhu quickly nodded. "Oh, yes. My examination results should be out."
She glanced at Fu Lian, with a pleading look in her eyes, wanting to leave here immediately.
Fu Lian lifted his lower lip. "I'd like to have a private chat with the old man. Miss Wen, please leave first."
Wen Baozhu finally felt relieved and quickly left the ward.
Only Mr. Zhou and Fu Lian were left in the room.
"How's your health?" Fu Lian asked.
"Everything's fine. It's just low blood sugar." Mr. Zhou glanced at him and said slowly, "I wasn't in good health some time ago, so I couldn't attend your engagement banquet. I hope you don't mind."
Since the accident of the Zhou couple, Mr. Zhou had always kept a low - profile and rarely attended such social occasions.
Moreover, given the relationship between Fu Lian and the Zhou family, he actually didn't care about such things.
But Mr. Zhou specifically mentioned the engagement banquet at this moment, which obviously meant more than just that.
Fu Lian of course could hear the old man's admonition.
"Your health is the most important. Other things are trivial."
"Since you're engaged, you should pay attention to your personal behavior. After all, you're the person in charge of the Fu family. Don't let others find fault with you."
Even though he wasn't Fu Lian's elder, Mr. Zhou didn't hesitate to give a lesson.
What he meant was that Fu Lian shouldn't get too close and entangled with other women.
Fu Lian nodded. "I understand, sir. Your admonition is right."
Mr. Zhou sighed, knowing that he didn't really take it to heart.
Fu Lian was a good young man in every way, but he just didn't listen to advice.
Over the years, Mr. Zhou, as an onlooker, had witnessed all that Fu Lian had experienced in the Fu family.
After Fu Lian's father passed away, it wasn't strange to Mr. Zhou that Fu Lian was the first one to take drastic actions.
Hatred could either make a person or destroy a person.
Mr. Zhou said, "You're a dark horse. I can see that. With your current ability, you can achieve something even without relying on the Fu family. Why do you have to go this far?"
Fu Lian remained silent.
"I heard some time ago that you kicked Fu Shuyi out." Mr. Zhou turned his head and looked out of the window. "A Lian, know when to stop."
Fu Lian twitched his lips but didn't say a word.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Mr. Zhou had no choice but to sigh and shake his head.
A person who was obsessed wouldn't listen to the outside world.
This topic came to an end, and Mr. Zhou mentioned Zhou You again. "Zhou You has become much more cheerful recently. I guess it's thanks to Miss Wen."
Fu Lian nodded. "Miss Wen and she really get along well."
"Bring her to my place when you're free." Mr. Zhou wasn't being polite but really had this thought. "This girl has a good personality and a kind heart."
Fu Lian said, "The Fu family won't raise cold - blooded people."
"You..." Mr. Zhou was finally at a loss. "What should I say to you? I don't mean to blame you. I just hope you don't involve others. Don't let her be a sacrifice."
They both knew who he was referring to.
——
After watching Mr. Zhou being escorted away by the bodyguards, Fu Lian's expression gradually turned solemn.
He took out his phone and called Wen Baozhu, asking where she was.
Learning that she was still waiting for the examination report, Fu Lian returned to the hospital to meet her.
When the examination report came out, Wen Baozhu saw that every value on it was normal, and she heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the heavy bleeding last time hadn't had a great impact on the baby.
Fu Lian glanced at her. "You seem to be in a good mood."
"Yeah." Wen Baozhu replied cheerfully. "I did a good deed today, the baby's values are all normal, and Mr. Fu came to pick me up in person. Isn't that enough to be happy about?"
It all sounded like very ordinary little things.
Fu Lian thought she was really too easy to satisfy. He let out a laugh. "No wonder you don't care about money."
A person who could be satisfied and happy because of a small thing wouldn't have too many desires.
Unlike him, who was full of desires.
Wen Baozhu saw his deep look and somewhat gloomy expression and guessed that he must have talked about something heavy with Mr. Zhou.
Wen Baozhu wanted to adjust the atmosphere. She suddenly said, "What would you like to eat for dinner, Mr. Fu?"
Fu Lian glanced at her. "Can I order?"
"Well... Let's hear it first." Wen Baozhu wasn't very confident. "As long as it's not too difficult a cuisine, I can give it a try. Is that okay?"
She wanted to make him happier.
Although she knew that his troubles were beyond the understanding of ordinary people, she still selfishly hoped that he could be happier.
If he was happier, perhaps the pain and sadness he had suffered in his life would fade away a lot.
Fu Lian stared at her for a moment before saying, "Sure."
