Outside the restaurant, Su Jingjing, who had been pestered by Xi Moran for a long time, didn't even hear the sound coming from the corner.
The person who was originally responsible for perimeter security rushed in and took the three attackers out.
The entire restaurant was booked out today. Apart from Fu Yuxiu and Shen Qingyi, the restaurant only received three tables of guests in total.
After all, they are all people who know each other.
Yuan Cang followed Wen Li and Fu Yuxiu out and focused on the two people sitting by the window.
When Wen Li saw Su Jingjing's appearance, it was clear that he did not want to have contact with Xi Moran.
This person usually looks free and easy, but Wen Li knows very well that Su Jingjing is more emotional than anyone else.
As for how she and Xi Moran got together, Wen Li could more or less guess the process. Su Jingjing not only looked at the face, but also looked at the inside.
"Do you want to take your friend away?" Fu Yuxiu raised his eyebrows and looked at Xi Moran.
It doesn't look like it's needed anymore.
Anna, who was standing nearby, felt uncomfortable. Su Jingjing was obviously the replacement, so why did the young master suddenly change his candidate
Leaving the real master alone, he hugged a substitute into his arms.
"Why don't you hurry up and get over here? Don't forget what I brought you here for." Anna said to the woman next to her.
The woman whose face was already full of tears looked at Xi Moran while crying. She didn't even have the strength to move her feet.
It's not like she couldn't see how hot Xi Moran was when he hugged Su Jingjing and kissed her just now.
The kind of eyes that could burn people to death was something she had never seen in that gorgeous man.
He is always calm and self-possessed, and always hides his emotions, just like Chunfeng Hexi on the outside.
But it was the first time she had seen such a state of uncontrollable tension.
It has been completely lost.
"You know, although I am his girlfriend to the outside world, he has never taken the initiative to kiss me, not even once..."
That man could always control his emotions in front of her and never lose control.
"There is no chance. A man will not lie when he looks at a woman's eyes."
What's more, they must have gone to bed, so there are some things that don't need to be explained.
"What are you talking about? I spent so much effort to get you back from abroad just so that you can bless them? You must find a way for me to break them up!" Anna said angrily.
This woman is really useless, and she actually says there is nothing she can do at this juncture.
Wen Li heard everything clearly, and he finally understood why Su Jingjing was in a daze some time ago.
"Yuan Cang, throw those two women out."
Yuan Cang, who was suddenly called, raised his head and walked towards Anna obediently. Anna, who was still shouting passionately, was suddenly carried by someone.
Looking up, there was a very tall man, who showed no sign of sympathy, grabbing her collar and dragging her to Wen Li.
"Who are you… "
After Anna saw Wen Li and Fu Yuxiu clearly, her expression changed suddenly.
So, the sound of fighting that just came from over there was this woman.
"I heard that you are the granddaughter of the Xi family's housekeeper?"
Anna didn't dare to answer. Rumors about this woman were already abuzz in the imperial capital, except that she was the eldest lady of the Li family.
She also has Fu Yuxiu's support behind her, and she is not something she can afford.
"I see that you are not very happy in the imperial capital. Why don't you go for a walk? After all, out of sight is out of mind." Wen Li looked at Anna and suddenly spoke seriously.
After hearing her words, Anna's pupils dilated in fear, "You... what are you going to do?"
What did this woman who was in cahoots with Su Jingjing want to do to her
"Yuan Cang, send her out. She will not be allowed to return to the imperial capital within five years."
This meant they were going to be kicked out. Anna was so frightened that she hurriedly shouted back.
"Young Master!!"
The heartbreaking and desperate shouts immediately attracted the attention of the two people at the window.
With a cold face, Su Jingjing raised her eyes and noticed Wen Li and Fu Yuxiu standing not far away.
She pinched her thigh hard and shook her head.
Damn it, this man was almost seduced.
"Young Master!! Help me!!"
She doesn't want to be sent out of the imperial capital, absolutely not.
"Don't be angry with me yet." Xi Moran coaxed Su Jingjing to get up.
The woman slapped his hand away impatiently, "Get out."
Why does she prefer the appearance of this kind of gentle scum? She looks gentle, but in fact she looks like a beast.
"What is this?" Xi Moran came in front of the two of them, but he didn't really want to talk to Anna.
"Can't you tell?" Fu Yuxiu said with a cold tone, "Our kid is helping your woman stand up."
This little thing is really protective of his shortcomings.
"I see it."
Listening to Xi Moran's joking tone, Anna panicked and grabbed Xi Moran's sleeve and said hurriedly.
"Young Master, you can't do this to me. Don't forget, I saved your life. You can't do this to me!!"
Su Jingjing looked at Wen Li. She had not thought about doing anything to this mentally retarded woman, she was just a harmless woman.
"Do you want to protect her?" Wen Li glanced at Xi Moran.
"I will have her sent out and will never be allowed to return to the Imperial Capital."
Su Jingjing came close to Wen Li, "I..."
"Shut up." Wen Li said without mercy, "Just listen."
Su Jingjing bowed her head obediently and stayed with this woman for a while. From time to time, Anna would come to the door and say harsh words.
Wen Li was venting his anger on her.
"The Fu family has received news that the quarterly meeting will be held at Fu's manor this year." Xi Moran looked at Fu Yuxiu and spoke.
The quarterly meeting will be the night after tomorrow. The people who will come this time are all the upper-level families under the name of Fu, including one hundred and eighty families including the four major families.
They need to bring quarterly statements and a list of each family's properties and hand them to the head of the family.
After all, these are necessary procedures for a new official to take office, and they will also help the new head to understand the situation of the entire Fu family more directly.
Moreover, only the heads of each family and leaders at all levels were allowed to enter the entire meeting, and no one else was allowed to observe.
But this time it was different. Fu Yuxiu, who owned half of the family power, had the qualification to observe.
Even if he doesn't want to go, people who support Fu Yuxiu will definitely lobby him to go.
Anna, who was crying and shouting, was dragged out of the restaurant, and everything returned to calm.
Wen Li and Fu Yuxiu got into the car. News came from the Li family, saying that Li Langhua had something he wanted to give to her and asked her to go there.
"Did Shen Qingyi relent?" Wen Li asked, looking at the man who was lowering his head and playing with his palms.
Fu Yuxiu nodded. The handling of the Fu family's affairs involves the replacement and cleanup of the entire imperial capital's power network.
Of course Shen Qingyi would agree to the deal.
"There are already troops crossing the Boundary Monument Mountains on the eastern border, and they are all going to the territory controlled by the Fu family in the east of G country."
People are already waiting for the opportunity to act, and with just one order, everything can change.
Fu Yuheng, the father-in-law, was quite willing to invest money for his son-in-law. He mobilized the power of the L country and came to provide assistance.
Those who sneak in quietly will not be able to get in without the permission of the Easterners.
“Whose jurisdiction is on the eastern border?”
Fu Yuxiu thought for a while and blurted out a name, "Mo Wei."
It was the second lieutenant who led people to surround the entire Li family.
The troops of country L were able to cross the border line, and they must have obtained the consent of the military. Otherwise, if they crossed the mountains without permission, they would be invading the territory of neighboring countries.
The fact that the Fu family has been able to stand proudly in Country G for so many years must have had a lot of contacts with high-level figures.
A tacit understanding has been formed between them, a tacit understanding that can coexist with each other.
But there is no guarantee that the other party has no intention of clearing out the Fu family. Not wanting and being unable are two different concepts.
Now that I have the opportunity, I definitely can’t use it.
If he could let those people pass, I'm afraid the conditions Fu Yuheng would offer to the other party would be very generous. "The Fu family has been inherited for so many years and has a huge power. I'm afraid that the higher-ups have begun to purge it. The Fu family's internal fighting, whether Fu Yuheng succeeds or fails, will have the effect of internal friction, and it will only be good for them."
Before Fu Yuxiu exposed the identity of the person in charge of the secret palace, Fu Yuheng had not made such a large-scale action.
Now he knew in his heart that if Bu Qing fought with all his strength, he would not be able to defeat Fu Yuxiu.
However, I did not expect that Country G, a rare pure land between intercontinental wars, would inevitably be tainted with the smell of gunpowder.
Wen Li thought for a long time and finally looked at the man beside him.
"Do you really have no feelings for the Fu family anymore?"
In any case, it was the place that his father had protected, and at least there should be memories of his childhood as a family.
No matter how this battle goes, there will only be one final result, and all forces have already intervened.
Either Fu Yuxiu won and the Fu family was destroyed, or Fu Yuheng succeeded in eliminating dissidents and monopolizing power.
Fu Yuxiu hugged the person and rubbed his chin on her head, looking lazy and carefree.
"Since my mother's death, my memory has been filled with blood. This time it was them who couldn't tolerate me, not me who took the initiative to cause trouble."
Wen Li understood his attitude. This man's temperament dictated that he didn't care about many things, but showed disdain for them.
That is the controller's disdain for the things in his hands.
He kept his promise to his mother and had no intention of taking action against the Fu family. If Fu Yuheng could stay in peace, he would naturally be able to secure his position as the head of the family.
But on the contrary, he is seeking death himself.
The situation of the Fu family is too complicated. Even without Fu Yuxiu's presence, I am afraid that the first thing Fu Yuheng would do after taking office is to eliminate dissidents and regain power.
The four major families were the first to be attacked.
Some things cannot be washed away or brought back without blood.
The car stopped at the door of Li's house. Rachel, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, came forward and bowed respectfully to Wen Li and Fu Yuxiu.
"Young Master, our master has been waiting for you for a long time."
Wen Li glanced sideways at the man next to him. Li Langhua was waiting for Fu Yuxiu
Here's what to do.
Li Li's luggage has been prepared. According to Li Langhua's wish, Li Ruobing and Li Li will be sent out first.
The situation in the imperial capital is changing rapidly, and no one knows what will happen in the next second. By sending people out first, Li Langhua feels more at ease.
"Wen Li." Li Li greeted Wen Li as soon as he saw him coming.
"Grandma is waiting for you in the study, go ahead." Li Ruobing looked at the two of them.
Li Li watched the two people enter the study and was a little worried, "Sister, why do I feel something is wrong?"
Why does grandma suddenly want to see Wen Li and Mr. Fu
"There's nothing wrong, it's just a normal meeting." Li Ruobing comforted.
Li Li glanced in the direction of the study and felt that something was wrong in this imperial capital. Yesterday, she asked Yun Xiao for dinner and he was not free.
He only said that he had to prepare for the Yun family’s quarterly meeting.
The second uncle has been very busy these days, and the regular meetings in previous years were not so tense. Maybe he made more requests after calling the new head.
That's why they were so serious.
In the study, the person sitting on the sofa lowered his head and looked at something. He didn't look up until he heard the sound of the door being opened and closed.
"You're looking for me?"
Li Langhua stood up and greeted Fu Yuxiu politely, "Young Master."
Although according to the rules of the Tao, Fu Yuxiu should be called the master, but since he is a member of the Fu family, he should still follow the rules of the Fu family.
"This is for you." Li Langhua handed over the envelope in his hand, "I should have given it to you a long time ago, but it's not too late now."
Wen Li pulled the thing out and looked at it. It was an old photo. There were two people on it, a man and a woman. The woman was wearing a white dress and had a magnolia flower pinned to her ear.
The man is Wen Xuqian, and the woman is very beautiful. You can guess that she is Hua Yan.
It's like a wedding photo.
"I didn't agree with their marriage at first, but after they got married, Xu Qian still gave me a wedding photo. I didn't destroy the photo and kept it in a wooden box until now."
Li Langhua didn't like this woman, and Hua Yan never had a good look with her.
But Hua Yan gave her the greatest respect.
He could even let her take away her child, and endure all the pain no matter how painful it was.
She gave Li Langhua the most precious gift and also gave her support for the rest of her life.
Today, Li Langhua no longer has the qualifications to exclude Hua Yan.
To this day, apart from the vague impression of the nose and eyes in his mind, Wen Li has finally put together the blurry face.
Wen Xuqian and Hua Yan burned all the photos at the beginning, but among the photos related to them that are left now, Wen Li only has the group photo given by Gu Chaoxian.
In the group photo, there was only Wen Xuqian, not Hua Yan.
She looked down for a while and smiled relievedly, "It turns out that I look more like my mother."
It's no wonder that Li Langhua was almost certain of her identity the first time he saw her.
"This photo has been kept at the bottom of the box. Now it is more useful to give it to you than to Lili."
Li Langhua knew that Wen Li returned to the imperial capital to find out the cause of death of Wen Xuqian and his wife.
But today, everything is so confusing. As a mother, she also hopes that Wen Li can successfully find the murderer.
No one would not be saddened by the death of their child. She also searched for a lot of information about that year, but found nothing.
The deaths of Wen Xuqian and Hua Yan were really strange.
The face that was vague in Wen Li's memory was now clear in his mind.
Now that I have found this photo, it is easier to find the painting depicting their family that was taken away by the Snake Organization people at the scene.
"Young Master, I want to talk to you alone." Li Langhua suddenly spoke and looked at the oppressive man beside him.
Before Wen Li exited the room, Fu Yuxiu grabbed his hand and told him not to run around.
It was as if he was taking care of her as a child.
Li Langhua chuckled when she saw this. Now she could feel relieved. At least the child no longer had to worry about it for the rest of his life.
Seeing Wen Li close the door, Fu Yuxiu turned around and looked at the woman opposite.
"Young Master, I know that at this point, I am not qualified to talk to you as an elder, but I still want to have a few words with you as Grandma Wen Li."
Fu Yuxiu's posture did not change, but the pressure on his body subsided slightly, and he only looked at the old lady opposite.
"I have opposed you and Wen Li before. I think that child has suffered a lot. If she can find an ordinary family in the imperial capital for the rest of her life and be protected by the Li family, I can watch her live happily. That’s enough.”
She had never thought about how well her granddaughter would marry. As long as Wen Li, who had been lonely for the past twenty years, could be happy, that would be enough.
But now, Fu Yuheng has cut off several lines of the Li family openly and secretly, and half of the Li family's business projects have been suspended.
He made his attitude clear and wanted to force the Li family to submit.
The Li family, which she had always been proud of, was already facing a storm and was on the verge of collapse, and it did not have a completely strong backing.
Now Li Langhua knows who is the most trustworthy person.
"Young Master, I just want to ask you one thing." Li Langhua's attitude was serious and he stared at the man opposite him. "Will your feelings for Wen Li change in the future?"
She could see that this man was serious, but there were too few eternal feelings in this world.
"She and I will be entangled for life and death."
After hearing Fu Yuxiu's words, Li Langhua's eyes seemed to have a dark light flashing through her eyes, and she seemed to think of something even further back.
"Young Master, I just want to ask you one thing. If one day you no longer need her, please return her properly."
This is her only request.
In fact, Li Langhua herself had no idea how long she could take care of these children.
Fu Yuxiu suddenly spoke, "Master Li said this, does he want me to protect her, or does he have other intentions?"
Li Langhua shook his head and denied firmly.
"Whether you believe it or not, my words have no other meaning."
Fu Yuxiu suddenly smiled. Even if the Li family didn't need it, the little guy wouldn't leave the Li family alone with his temperament.
She could even protect Su Jingjing, let alone her own sister.
"The head of the Li family does not need to have any intention of saying goodbye on the deathbed. The Li family is not easy to shake, and you understand this."
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Li family to remain motionless despite the turmoil outside.
I'm too busy today, so I only have this update.
