Chapter 303 All Men Can’t Resist the Temptation
After Tian Xin leaves, Fu Zhengzheng stands up and tries to walk two steps. Feeing it’s not so painful, she tries to walk to the door. At this moment, someone runs inside.
She finds it’s Li Yin.
Li Yin sees Fu Zhengzheng immediately and runs to Fu Zhengzheng. She clutches her belly with one hand and holds Fu Zhengzheng’s hand with the other one while asking worriedly: “Zhengzheng, how are you and Xingxing?”
Fu Zhengzheng sits down with her while scolding her lightly: “We’re all right. Why did you run so fast? Don’t forget you are pregnant.”
Li Yin pants slightly. Finding Fu Zhengzheng is fine, she strokes her belly and says in a lucky voice: “I’m glad to see you fine. Don’t worry about my baby. He is well in my belly.”
Then Lin Jiao enters too while complaining: “Yin, I know you are worried about Miss Fu and Fu Xing, but don’t forget you are pregnant. Even if you ran to Miss Fu when fireworks were exploded, what could you do? Miss Fu would need to take care of you in turn, right?”
Li Yin smiles at Lin Jiao: “Don’t be angry. I’m all right.”
Probably for fear that Fu Zhengzheng will be dissatisfied, Lin Jiao smiles at Fu Zhengzheng and says: “I’m not angry. I’m just worried about you. By the way, Miss Fu, are you and Fu Xing fine?”
Fu Zhengzheng smiles: “We’re both fine.”
Lin Jiao smiles: “That’s great. Yin, look, I’ve told you that Miss Fu and her son have good fortune, but you don’t believe.”
Fu Zhengzheng asks: “Li Yin, why did you come here today?”
Li Yin pulls a long face deliberately at once: “Zhengzheng, I always regard you as my friend. Your restaurant is opened today, but you didn’t tell me yesterday. Are you afraid that I can’t afford a flower basket?”
Fu Zhengzheng is surprised and then laughs: “I’m only an honorary boss. By the way, who told you the news?”
“After you left last night at dusk, Sergeant Yang went to my shop to see me and mentioned it accidentally.”
“Oh.” Fu Zhengzheng smiles.
“By the way,” Li Yin adds, “I saw a girl in Sergeant Yang’s car with long hair and an oval face. Quite beautiful. Is she his girlfriend?”
Guessing she is Lin Xiaoyue, Fu Zhengzheng smiles: “Maybe.”
“I didn’t expect Sergeant Yang would have a girlfriend.” Li Yin casts her eyes to Lin Jiao who is looking around in the restaurant and says regretfully: “I planned to introduce my cousin to Sergeant Yang.”
Fu Zhengzheng just smiles, without saying anything.
“Well, I’m relieved to see you and Xingxing fine. I have to go back to open the shop. When you are free, come to the shop for a long talk.” Li Yin rises to call Lin Jiao.
“OK. Take care of yourself.” Fu Zhengzheng sees them to the door and watches them off.
At this moment, Ji Muxian comes over.
Fu Zhengzheng shouts at once: “Muxian? Why are you here?”
“Are you OK?” Ji Muxian asks.
Fu Zhengzheng nods.
“Why did the firework explode?”
“I have no idea. Qiubo said it might be due to quality problem.”
“Where are the paper boxes of fireworks?”
Looking at the clean ground in front of the door, Fu Zhengzheng shakes her head: “They might have been swept away by the cleaner.”
Finding that Ji Muxian turns around to leave, she asks him immediately: “Do you think there is something wrong?”
“I feel it a little strange.”
Fu Zhengzheng thinks and says: “Logically speaking, it’s meaningless to cause chaos here. Moreover, only one of so many fireworks exploded, so I think it may be a coincidence.”
“I hope so.” Then Ji Muxian leaves.
Fu Zhengzheng doesn’t ask more. She turns around and intends to enter the restaurant when her phone rings. She takes out the phone and finds it’s from Han Siqi, so she connects it right away.
“How are you?” Han Siqi asks anxiously.
Hearing that, Fu Zhengzheng knows he has known about what happened just now, so she comforts him quickly: “Xingxing and I are both OK. How do you know it?”
“Fu Wenhai called me.”
Fu Zhengzheng can’t help saying: “I told him not to call you, but he insisted. How stubborn he is!”
Han Siqi sounds unhappy obviously: “Such a serious event happened. You didn’t tell me. Do you want to prevent another one from telling me too?”
“Is it a serious event when I’m not hurt at all?”
“Your foot is hurt, and you can’t walk. Isn’t it serious?”
“No, I can walk. If you don’t believe, I’ll shoot a video to you.”
“Be serious. Go to the hospital for an examination to make sure if the bone gets hurt.”
“I don’t need to go to the hospital. I didn’t fall and was just stamped on by someone.”
“Then I will go back now and take you to the hospital myself.”
“No, no. You are busy there, aren’t you? You just went there. if you come back now, brother will criticize you. I’ll go to the hospital for an examination.” Anyway, he is not here, and she will tell him that she has been to the hospital.
“I’ll call Fu Wenhai and ask him to take you there.”
“I’ll go there myself. Don’t need to bother another one.” Fu Wenhai is so stubborn that if Han Siqi calls him, she will have to go to the hospital.
“Let him take you there. He made you hurt your foot.”
“No, he didn’t. He wanted to help Fu Xing and me, and his heart was in the right place. He protected us from the flying sparks. He…”
“Well, it’s a deal. I’ll have a meeting. Tell me the examination result after my meeting.” Then Han Siqi hangs up the phone and his tone sounds irrecusable.
“Hello? Hello?” Fu Zhengzheng puts down the phone. Before she puts her phone into the pocket, Fu Wenhai’s call comes.
“Miss Fu, please wait in the restaurant. I go to pick you up now.”
“Mr. Fu, I told you not to call Siqi, but you didn’t listen to me. My foot is indeed fine.”
“Only after you go to the hospital and are examined can we know if it’s fine. I’ll arrive soon. Wait for a moment.”
Fu Zhengzheng knows she has to go to the hospital now, so she goes back to the restaurant and tells Tian Xin roughly. Tian Xin also thinks she should go to the hospital to examine herself.
Soon, Fu Wenhai comes. He drives Fu Zhengzheng to take an x-ray in the city hospital. The doctor says her foot has a slight sprain. Although it’s not serious, she’d better not walk far in the next following days and should have more rest. She is also told it may hurt at night and she has to bear it.
Fu Wenhai tells Han Siqi about it on the phone. Han Siqi tells Fu Zhengzheng repeatedly not to go out and to take more rest at home.
These two days are weekends. Fu Zhengzheng doesn’t think it as a problem, so she doesn’t go out.
When she finishes her talk with Han Siqi on the phone, it’s past 9:00 p.m. Then Tian Xin and Sun Qiubo come to see her.
Tian Xin sits down on the bed edge and massages her foot lightly.
For fear that they will worry, Fu Zhengzheng changes the topic smilingly: “How is the business?”
“The restaurant was full of guests.” Sun Qiubo answers.
Fu Zhengzheng smiles: “It’s indeed a good start and every step is a victory.”
“Of course.” Sun Qiubo looks complacent.
Fu Zhengzheng asks smilingly: “Is it tiring to be a boss?”
Tian Xin says with a smile too: “It’s just opened. We haven’t dealt with many details well. We need to find and adjust them by ourselves. When it is on track in a few days, we will be able to hand over the right and wait to get money with ease.”
Obviously, Fu Zhengzheng isn’t confident about them and smiles: “Can money be earned so easily?”
“Earning money isn’t as hard as we think, actually. Someone can earn money more easily.” Tian Xin pauses, glances at Sun Qiubo and says, “For example, someone makes up romantic stories, which exist only on paper. The hero is described to be handsome, powerful as well as faithful and doting to the heroine. He is unique in the world. As a result, girls are fooled to be full of fancies and willing to give a large sum of money to her. It’s bullshit in fact.”
Sun Qiubo glares: “Hey, are you talking about me?”
Tian Xin bursts into laughter: “Your words should be ended with a full stop rather than a question mark. You call yourself a writer, but you even can’t understand that.”
Sun Qiubo throws a pillow at her: “Tian, if you dare to orally attack me anymore, I will make You and Ji Muxian characters of my novel. He will keep many mistresses and have lots of illegitimate children.”
Fu Zhengzheng cracks up. Tian Xin flushes and snorts: “Pah, do you think you are Ma Liang with the magical brush? If you can, describe Muxian to be Tian Boguang, a deflowering thief. Let’s see whether he will be faithful to me.”
“Faithful?” Sun Qiubo casts her disdainful eyes, “Except the hero in my novel, which man is faithful to a woman in reality? By now I have only found Han Siqi. As for as your Ji Muxian, alas, I haven’t found he is such a man.”
Tian Xin asks in an unconvinced tone: “What about He Menghuai?”
“That guy? I don’t trust him either. He and Ji Muxian are birds of a feather.”
Tian Xin retorts immediately: “Hey, He Menghuai is such a guy. Don’t involve my Muxian in it. Muxian is different from him and has never eaten the breakfast taken by female colleagues.”
Sun Qiubo irritates her on purpose: “He just said that to your face. Actually, he once bought breakfast for female colleagues secretly.”
Tian Xin gives her a glare instantly: “Who told you that?”
Sun Qiubo blurts: “Menghuai told me.”
Tian Xin doesn’t believe and says: “That’s impossible. Don’t slander Muxian.”
Sun Qiubo waves and replies: “I expected you wouldn’t believe. Let’s bet, OK?”
Tian Xin asks: “How?”
Fu Zhengzheng stands between them quickly and mediates smilingly: “Forget it. Do you still have the energy for a bet after a tiring day?”
But the two women shut their ears to what she says.
Sun Qiubo says: “Ji Muxian is on duty tonight, right? It’s already past 10:00. I guess he must be bored. Perhaps he is talking love with a beautiful girl on QQ. How about adding him as a friend with a female username and talking love with him?”
Fu Zhengzheng objects immediately: “Hey, hey, stop. Don’t take it seriously.”
Finding that Tian Xin keeps silent, Sun Qiubo laughs complacently: “If a man doesn’t have an affair, that’s because the outside temptation is not big enough. Not all men can resist the temptation of beautiful women. Forget it. Don’t test him. If your faithful fiancé is tested to be unfaithful, I can’t take the responsibility.”
Irritated by what she says, Tian Xin fetches Fu Zhengzheng’s laptop and turns it on: “Let’s test him. I’ll tell you Muxian’s QQ number.”
“Forget it. Stop now.” For fear that something will be wrong, Fu Zhengzheng wants to close the laptop but is stopped by Tian Xin.
Sun Qiubo’s interest is aroused. She logs on her account, enters Ji Muxian’s number, looks for it and adds him as a friend. She also smiles at Tian Xin: “Don’t blame me if something wrong is found.”
Tian Xin regards it as not worthy of serious consideration, because she knows Ji Muxian seldom logs on QQ. However, she becomes surprised soon, because verification is passed quickly soon after Sun Qiubo adds him as a friend.
“So fast? Muxian really can’t stand the loneliness of being on duty?” Sun Qiubo enters while laughing, “Hi, nice to meet you.”
Tian Xin stares at the laptop screen. Only after two seconds, the one on the other side replies to the message.
