C14 Things Are Not Simple

After Fu Xiujie came back from Hong Kong, he went to the sanatorium to visit Old Master Fu.

He had lost his mother at the age of eight and was raised by Old Master Fu. The affection between him and his grandfather was much greater than that between Old Master Fu and his own father.

"Look, little servant is here!" As soon as Fu Xiujie entered the sanatorium, he heard excited shouts from the front.

In the next second, seven or eight old men rushed over with quick steps. Their eyes were all emitting a green light as if they were hungry wolves looking at a fat sheep.

Old man A: "You have come back from Hong Kong, little Fu?"

Fu Xiujie: "..."

He asked even though he already knew the answer.

Old man B: "Little Fu, are you here to see your grandfather?"

Fu Xiujie: "..."

Knowing why he asked + 1.

Old man C: "Little Fu, did you come alone?"

Fu Xiujie: "..."

Knowing why he asked, + 2.

This kind of silent enthusiasm made him feel embarrassed to the point of having cancer.

The worst part was that the old men kept glancing over his shoulder as if they were drunk.

"Grandfather, you all … What are you looking at? " Fu Xiujie felt his scalp go numb from the gaze. After a long while, he finally managed to ask.

Hearing the question, the old men asked in unison, "Little Fu, why didn't you bring Xiaonian along?"

Fu Xiujie: "!"

Before he could reply, the old men had already started praising him.

"Little Fu, you're so lucky!"

"Listen to grandpa. Be nicer to Xiaonian."

"Next time I come, I must bring Xiaonian with me."

"Yes, yes, yes. Tell her that we all miss her."

Fu Xiujie: "!"

Who could tell him what had happened? How did Money-grubber become a group pet in a sanatorium?

Ten minutes later, Old Master Fu answered the question himself.

He was in high spirits and his face was full of pride, "Brat, you don't know that Xiaoniando has helped me. She only used half a pot of old duck soup to tame a bunch of my underlings. "Look at the calcium tablets, the protein powder, and the iron tonics. They were all given to me by my little brother."

After a pause, he added, "In the past, I didn't think this sanatorium would be good. Everyone was secretly trying to push me down. But it's different now. They've been flattering me everyday, and I'm now even more happy than the deities in the sky. Hahaha … "

The demonic cycle of 'hahaha' vividly confirmed the old man's happiness.

Fu Xiujie's heart sank. He felt that the matter wasn't simple.

This nursing home was the highest level of retirement home for the elderly, who were either rich or noble.

All their lives, they had experienced all sorts of delicacies. Now that he was old, his appetite was getting worse.

The nursing home had hired a top chef at a high salary to take care of their health, but the effect was minimal.

For example, even a top chef couldn't satisfy the grandpa's appetite. How could Gu Xiaonian do it with just a pot of duck soup?

Had she tampered with the soup, adding addictive poppy shells?

Thinking of this, Fu Xiujie's expression gradually darkened.

Old Master Fu observed the situation and asked nervously, "What's wrong with you? Your face is so ugly? "

"..." Fu Xiujie's eyes flashed. He casually told a lie, "Grandpa, I'm a little tired. I want to go back and rest."

Old Master Fu stopped smiling and urged with concern, "Then go home quickly! Business is important, but the body is more important. You have to work together. "

Fu Xiujie acknowledged and quickly said goodbye to Old Master Fu. Then, they met that group of overzealous old men outside the courtyard.

When they saw Fu Xiujie, they surrounded him excitedly, but there was only one other meaning behind their words — "Next time, ask Xiaonian to bring more duck soup, they can exchange it for something, or they can buy it at a high price!"

When Fu Xiujie saw them acting like they were possessed, his guess immediately shot to the peak.

He drove away from the sanatorium and headed straight for the Yun City Film Academy.

Halfway there, he received a call from his assistant, Qin Feng, "President Fu, the private investigator has found Miss Gu's past. I sent you her detailed information from childhood to childhood …"

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Fu Xiujie in a deep voice, "Read it out for me directly."

"Huh?" Qin Feng was shocked, he suspected that he had heard wrong.

Fu Xiujie adjusted his Bluetooth earphone while saying in a gloomy tone, "Immediately! Immediately! "Read it to me!"

"Yes." Qin Feng could tell that his tone was off. He quickly opened Gu Xiaonian's file and read, "Gu Xiaonian, someone from Ping Shi Village.

"I learned culinary arts from my grandfather, Gu Aiguo, when I was young …"

"Creak!" Fu Xiujie stepped on the brake, "You said that she has been learning culinary arts since she was young?"

Qin Feng flung the pot rapidly, "I didn't say that, it's written on the information."

"Continue reciting." Fu Xiujie held the steering wheel tightly, his tone did not show whether he was happy or angry.

Qin Feng then said, "When she was twelve years old, she was conferred the title of 'Little Chef God' by the village of Ten Mile Eight. When he was thirteen, he took second place in the junior division of the Chef Contest. When she was fourteen, her grandfather Gu Aiguo passed away from a serious illness. Her father, Gu Hai, brought her to the Yun City. When he was fifteen, he passed the Yun City First High School with excellent results. At the age of sixteen, he learned how to jump ranks to the third year of high school. "When Gu Hai turned seventeen, he became a vegetable in a car accident …"

"Enough, send the documents to my mailbox." Fu Xiujie interrupted Qin Feng and started driving back to the Film Academy.

At that moment, Gu Xiaonian was being held up by a suitor in a corner of the library as she confessed.

"Junior Gu, I truly like you. Please agree to be my girlfriend!" The pursuer was a third-year student, and Gu Xiaonian didn't even know his name.

She frowned and tried her best to tactfully refuse, "I'm sorry, I …"

"Don't be in such a hurry to reject me!" The third year senior excitedly tried to argue, afraid that Gu Xiaonian would directly reject him.

But who was Gu Xiaonian? To be able to cut through the chaos so quickly, he definitely wouldn't drag others along with him and cause them to misunderstand.

In one breath, she kept saying, "Senior thanks for your love, but I …"

"I'm making money! I'm making money! I don't even know how to spend it …" The melodious ringtone on her cell phone interrupted Gu Xiaonian's rejection.

Without even looking, she pressed the answer button. "Hello, may I ask who you are?"

On the other end of the phone, Fu Xiujie replied with a miserly tone, "Come out!"

Gu Xiaonian: "?"

After a strange silence, the junior in front of him became anxious.

He stepped forward and slammed Gu Xiaonian Wai against the bookshelf, "Junior Sister Gu, please promise me! I will definitely treat you well. "

"No way!" Gu Xiaonian quickly refused and pointed at her phone as she explained, "I already have a boyfriend, he's the one who called."

The third year senior shook his head in shock, "You lied to me!" You don't have a boyfriend. "

Gu Xiaonian was about to retort when she heard Fu Xiujie's gnashing voice from the other end of the phone, "You! "Give him your phone."

"Huh?" With a dazed expression on her face, Gu Xiaonian obediently passed the phone to her junior.

The senior snorted and took the phone, asking, "Who are you? State your name! "
