Ye Minqiu just felt a little confused. Nan Li obviously liked the child, and the child was his savior. Apart from some unpleasantness in her background with the Wen family, which might have caused his grandfather to not think highly of the girl, she was good in all other aspects. There was no need for him to hide the child from her.
I really can't figure it out.

The rain in Haicheng in winter is long and dripping non-stop.
The next night, in Xiaotangshan's room, only the floor lamp was dimly lit, the dark grey curtains were half drawn up by the drapes, and Fu Nanli was sitting on the sofa by the window smoking.
He is not a smoker. He only smokes two cigarettes when he is bored and can't relieve himself, so there is almost no smell of cigarettes on him.
Standing behind him was Fu Chuan.
The red flame of the cigarette flickered, and the room was quiet except for the sound of rain.
Fu Nanli suddenly spoke, his voice like an old record player from the 19th century, revealing the helplessness and loneliness of the years.
"You say, should a boring person like me live alone all my life?"
Fu Chuan tapped the back of the sofa with his fingers: "What do you know?"
Fu Nanli closed his eyes and looked at the drizzle outside. His slender fingers flicked the ash into the ashtray beside him: "What can I know?"
"I thought that someone like you would never have the chance to meet a girl like Xiao Wen and fall in love with her in this life..."
Fu Nanli glanced at him.
Fu Chuan was probably the one who knew Fu Nanli best among the brothers. The meaning of that look was very clear, telling him to shut up and not continue.
All the words were choked in his throat, and Fu Chuan couldn't figure it out.
He knew clearly what kind of person Fu Nanli was. He was the only heir of the Fu family who did not show his cruelty in his outward appearance but was ruthless in his methods.
Those who offend him or deceive him never have a good ending.
But he had no intention of saying anything, and he wouldn't say anything more.
"You shouldn't live your life alone. You should have the most brilliant life, with a wife who loves you and lovely children."
Fu Nanli tapped the ash from his cigarette, his smile a little bitter, "How's the investigation going on with the island?"
Fu Chuan said in a deep voice: "All the evidence points directly to... Fu Jiang."
It was expected, but I always felt that something was not normal.
He could understand that Fu Jiang did this because Fu Jiang had lost a large sum of money in debt and wanted to plead with his grandfather to fill the hole. He was afraid that Fu Jiang would not be so easy to talk to after he came back, so he designed to trap him on the island.
Is he overthinking it
Trapping him on the island was just for him, not for Qiao Qiao
-
Wen Qiao held the key in her hand, held an umbrella, and looked at the yard next door. She decided not to open the door for now. If Fu Nanli asked, she would say that the house belonged to her mother's friend and Aunt Xiaojun didn't want to change the layout of the house.
However, as long as Fu Nanli is not allowed to come to her house, he will not know whether the call was successful or not.
She put the key and the diamond necklace into her small wooden box and placed it in the cabinet beside her bed.
After leaving the room, Wen Mo was watching TV in the living room. The TV happened to be on the financial channel, and Wen Qiao saw that it was reporting something about a mysterious debt crisis.
The companies named included the He family’s and the Fu family’s Zhongheng Company.
Wen Mo was obviously not interested in these financial and economic news. Just as he was about to change the channel, Wen Qiao pressed the remote control: "Let me take a look."
'The He family's cosmetics company Yue Lan Group has a shortage of funds and is currently facing an operating crisis. The exclusive agency rights of its famous European and American brand Dai Lan have been handed over to others. This time, Yue Lan Group lost nearly tens of billions of yuan due to the investment of its eldest son He Cong in mysterious bonds. The Hong Kong stock index has plummeted. At the end of the year, the He family's financial reports have many deficits. Shareholders need the He family to come forward to stabilize the public's heart.'
