Fang Zhicheng thought about it and decided not to force it, so he said, "Okay, just do as you please."
The woman brought the child to the corner, took the bottle from the back of the stroller, and handed it to the baby. The baby drank a few sips and then stopped drinking. The woman carefully wiped his mouth with a tissue, then looked at the door, waiting for someone to arrive.
From the details of these smiles, Fang Zhicheng could actually figure out some clues. First, the woman should be the biological mother of the baby, but for some reason, she lied to him; secondly, the woman came to Cao Yao from Yanjing and suffered a lot on the way, probably just for the person she was waiting for.
Ten minutes later, a man walked in slowly from the door. The woman stood up from her seat with joy in her eyes. Fang Zhicheng saw his face clearly. With his good upbringing, he was also shocked. The man just glanced at the woman in the distance, then turned to greet Fang Zhicheng and said, "Mayor Fang, I didn't expect such a coincidence to meet you here."
"Minister Guan, I believe you are here because of your reputation!" Fang Zhicheng asked with a smile.
The woman in the corner saw Guan Ruofei and Fang Zhicheng chatting, and hurriedly sat down, lowered her head and stopped looking in this direction.
Guan Ruofei's reaction was normal, and he smiled and said, "Yes, although this noodle shop looks ordinary from the outside, it has been open for decades and is a famous shop hidden in the city by Cao Yao. Its yanmian tastes very good."
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said with a smile: "Minister Guan came to Caoyao a year earlier than me. It seems that he is very knowledgeable about Caoyao's local cuisine."
Guan Ruofei sat directly opposite Fang Zhicheng and said, "Since it's such a coincidence, let me treat you."
Guan Ruofei ordered two bowls of Yanmian and two servings of Furong Egg. Yanmian is made by mixing noodles and soup separately. Noodles are mixed with sauce and a little soup is added when eating to prevent the noodles from being too dry. The taste is spicier than ordinary mixed noodles. Furong Egg is made by putting some minced meat on the steamed egg custard, which is very fragrant.
After the meal, Fang Zhicheng couldn't help but secretly admire Guan Ruofei's good psychological quality. Not only did he eat heartily, he also kept talking about some interesting things. Judging from his temperament, he was somewhat similar to Wang Guoyue.
Guan Ruofei finished his noodles, paid for Fang Zhicheng, and said with a smile: "I have something to do, so I'll leave first."
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "Okay, thank you for treating me to dinner today. I'll treat you next time. Goodbye!"
After Guan Ruofei left the noodle shop, Fang Zhicheng came to the woman and sighed softly, "That person just now, is that the one you were waiting for?"
The woman's heart was not as strong as Guan Ruofei's. Surprise emanated from her eyes, but she still shook her head, "You are wrong, I don't know him."
Fang Zhicheng sighed softly, took out a piece of notepaper from the camera bag he was carrying, wrote his name on it, and whispered, "Call me if you need any help."
The woman bit her lip and did not answer.
About half an hour after Fang Zhicheng left the noodle shop, Guan Ruofei walked into the noodle shop again. Seeing the woman with her head down, observing the baby with gentle eyes, she shook her head helplessly.
When the woman saw Guan Ruofei, her eyes lit up and she whispered, "You're here?"
Guan Ruofei nodded and said, "I just met a colleague. As you know, I have to hide this matter, so I have to pretend that I don't know you."
The woman nodded and sighed, "I'm sorry, I've become a burden to you."
At this time, the child in the stroller started crying. Guan Ruofei quickly held the child in his arms and rocked him gently a few times. "You haven't eaten yet? Eat something quickly."
The woman nodded, called the waiter, and ordered a bowl of light noodle soup.
"What should I do?" The woman looked at Guan Ruofei's face and asked in a low voice.
Guan Ruofei smiled helplessly: "I have already arranged it. You will return to Liaozhou later. Someone will pick you up there and arrange for you to go to Korea."
"Where is the child?" The woman's eyes showed disappointment. She originally came to seek refuge with Guan Ruofei, but she didn't expect Guan Ruofei to send her abroad.
Guan Ruofei said slowly: "I will take good care of the child. Please rest assured, he is my flesh and blood, I will not treat him badly."
The woman's eyes turned red and she said in a hoarse voice: "You once promised me that you would marry me."
Guan Ruofei smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, I can only give you a sum of money, enough for you to live a good life abroad. Moreover, as long as you ask, I will continue to help you in the future."
The woman cried and said, "You know, I don't need these at all..."
"Is it for love?" Guan Ruofei's tone became a little cold and impatient, "I can't get a divorce, and I won't give up my career because of you."
Tears dripped onto the table. The woman knew that the ending would not change much. She said self-deprecatingly, "It was a mistake for me to look for you. I should have raised the child secretly. This way, at least even though I don't have you, I still have him."
Guan Ruofei's heart softened, and he sighed: "Even if we are far apart, I will always remember you because he has your blood and mine."
The woman wiped away her tears, forced a smile, and said, "This is the last time I will believe your sweet words."
After the woman slowly finished her noodles, Guan Ruofei made a phone call and several strong men came in from outside. They took the woman into a black car.
Standing on the balcony of a two-story building not far away, Fang Zhicheng skillfully adjusted the focus and distance, pressed the shutter, and recorded it all.
Chapter 0949 Phoenix Man Meets Rich Girl
Guan Ruofei stood at the door of the noodle shop and called Wang Guoyue, reporting: "Master Yue, this is over."
Wang Guoyue sighed softly and said, "Ruofei, I'm not forcing you, you're just too soft-hearted. A bystander can see things more clearly. As your best friend, I must help you get through this hurdle. Don't worry, the people I arrange are all very reliable and will help you settle the woman and the child. As for Cao Jing, I've already told her that you two have been married for many years and have no child, so it's a good opportunity to raise that child well."
Wang Guoyue always speaks with righteousness, handles problems flawlessly, and takes every aspect into consideration.
Cao Jing is Wang Guoyue's cousin. It was Wang Guoyue who played the role of matchmaker and facilitated this marriage. Guan Ruofei smiled bitterly and said worriedly, "Cao Jing, can you take good care of the child?"
Wang Guoyue tapped his fingers on the table twice and said, "You complained to me about Cao Jing. Cao Jing is particularly stubborn, withdrawn, and willful. I originally hoped that you could change her because of your steadiness, but I didn't expect that I was wrong in the end. If Cao Jing is unwilling to accept this child, then I will make arrangements to find a wet nurse to take good care of him."
Guan Ruofei smiled helplessly. Wang Guoyue's seemingly comprehensive arrangement made him feel powerless. His wife Cao Jing was not only stubborn and willful, but he also knew all the rumors about her in Jidong Province. Guan Ruofei did not put all the responsibility on the informant Wang Guoyue, but felt that he was also blinded by desire at the beginning.
Guan Ruofei was born in a relatively ordinary family. His father was a high school principal and his mother was a high school teacher. He lived in a relatively comfortable environment since he was a child and received a good cultural education. In college, he stood out and became the chairman of the school council. He actively participated in various activities, so that after graduation, he stayed in school as an assistant to the dean of the branch. Later, because of his outstanding ability and his achievements in school administration, he was selected by a leader to enter the Jidong Provincial Party School as an administrative cadre of the Party School.
Later, at the Jidong Provincial Party School, Guan Ruofei met Wang Guoyue, who was also very young, and they developed a good friendship. Guan Ruofei took the initiative to approach Wang Guoyue because he knew Wang Guoyue's identity and that he would definitely be a great figure in the future. Guan Ruofei's initiative to approach gained Wang Guoyue's trust. Five years ago, Wang Guoyue introduced his cousin Cao Jing to Guan Ruofei and facilitated this marriage, which brought the relationship between the two closer.
