Chapter 16 Something New Was Happening

Fu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sneer. "I didn't promise you that. The time of the night belongs to me and Ziyun. Outsiders are not welcome to participate. Mr. Gu, please."
Fu Xiaoxiao really didn't like Gu Gengchang's self-righteous look. She had seen enough five years ago, and this man had run out to snatch her son when she had just returned to the country. She didn't have any good feelings about this man at all.
Gu Gengchang was a little embarrassed to be scolded by Fu Xiaoxiao in front of his son, but he saw Fu Ziyun glaring at him with a pair of big eyes, warning him. He immediately suppressed the anger he was about to vent.
Then he said: "I'm talking to you. You've been working all day, buying groceries and cooking, and I'll take you to Haidilao."
As soon as he finished speaking, he received Fu Ziyun's approving gaze. Gu Gengchang was even a little happy that he had finally obtained his son's approval.
In Fu Ziyun's heart, his mother was the best in everything except cooking, so he was willing to eat out without hurting Fu Xiaoxiao.
Fu Xiaoxiao was about to refuse when Fu Ziyun shook her mother's hand and said, "Mom, I'm so hungry right now. How long will it take if I make it myself?"
It would be a long time before she would have to wash the vegetables and boil water to prepare the dipping sauce. Fu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but frown as she thought about it.
"It will take at least an hour and a half," she said apologetically.
"Why don't we listen to Dad today and go out to eat? Mom can take a good rest too." Fu Ziyun shook his mother's hand and said.
Even though Fu Xiaoxiao didn't want anything to do with Gu Gengchang, she still had her son. It was inevitable that she would have to deal with him in the future. Most importantly, her son was hungry. If she insisted on doing it at home, she would make her son hungry for a while longer. After thinking about it, she agreed to eat Haidilao with him.
Gu Gengchang sent the driver away early in the morning and drove Fu Xiaoxiao and Fu Ziyun to the best Haidilao in the city.
Every time he went to eat Haidilao, he had to wait, but with Gu Gengchang here, there was no need at all. Secretary Lee had long since applied for a super VIP card here. Every time he came, he could go in directly, and there were special reserved tables.
Because Fu Ziyun was angry with Gu Gengchang, he did not eat much lunch. Only at night did he feel hungry. In addition, the taste of Haidilao was really good, and the service was very thorough, so he ate extremely seriously. Not long after, his small belly became round.
Gu Gengchang had never served anyone else when he ate, but today was different. He took care of Fu Ziyun the entire time, which saved Fu Xiaoxiao a lot of trouble.
Fu Xiaoxiao had never known that Gu Gengchang, who had always been aloof and aloof, had such a gentle side to him. Looking at how he took care of her son, a question surfaced in her heart. Would he be like this to her when he liked women?
He had nothing more to do with him than that they had a son.
It was rare for Fu Xiaoxiao to eat quietly.
Just then, her phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID and walked a little further away to answer it.
"Hello, Manager Wang. What's the matter?"
Manager Wang was the project manager of the first project Lu Yao went to today.
"Miss, it's not good." His tone was very anxious, and Fu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Isn't the cement problem solved? What else can there be? Don't worry, speak slowly."
"The thing is, as soon as the cement was taken care of, we had the workers come in to resume construction, but just now a team of law enforcement officers came in and insisted we had illegal servants and demanded a check."
When Fu Xiaoxiao heard him say this, she sighed. "I thought something had happened. Our company has always been strictly managed, and we are legal and reasonable when it comes to servants. There shouldn't be any problems."
Although Fu Xiaoxiao hadn't been in the company for more than five years, she had already set up the company's rules and regulations, and she had people in the human resources department who she had arranged for her. She was sure that there would be no problem with that.
However, Manager Wang's sigh came from the other end of the phone. "Sigh, there really is a problem."
When Fu Xiaoxiao heard this, she quickly asked, "What's going on?"
Manager Wang said carefully, "It's like this..."
It turned out that some of the employees had applied for leave to come home after such a long absence, and one of them, a man named Li Zhuang, had failed to come home in time, and had been replaced by his eldest son, who was studying in the city.
Fu Xiaoxiao frowned. "All right, I know. I'll think of something."
She hung up the phone, wondering if there was such a coincidence in the world that the worker's son had been caught on his first day of work.
It was wrong to use child labor, but it was too much of a coincidence. Someone must have done something bad.
This was really a new wave. Could it be that the Fu's had offended someone in the past two years? They were obviously trying to force the Fu's to death by staring at them like this.
As she thought about it, she walked back, not noticing that Faang Mengyi was staring at her from behind.
"Fu Xiaoxiao? Why is she here to eat too? What bad luck." Faang Mengyi had arranged to meet up with a good friend today. She didn't expect to see Fu Xiaoxiao here when she came in after queuing up for a long time.
"Hey, isn't that the Gu Gengchang that everyone misses? Why is he eating with a woman and a child?"
His good friend came over and asked with a puzzled expression.
Faang Mengyi had always bragged in front of her good friend about how good Gu Gengchang was to her. Now that her good friend had seen him eating with another woman and child, it was really a slap in the face.
Looking at the three of them together, Faang Mengyi felt an unexpected sense of harmony, as if they were a family of three.
He cursed in his heart, "Fu Xiaoxiao, this haunting woman, disappeared for five years. After returning to the country, she contacted Gu Gengchang. She really knows how to play the lonely charm trick."
"I think she's treating the client to a meal, and the client just happened to bring his son here." Faang Mengyi said in embarrassment. She didn't want to be a good friend on the market and let her know that there was a problem with her current relationship with Gu Gengchang.
"Oh, so that's how it is. However, I think that woman's background is a little familiar. I seem to have seen her somewhere before." As Faang Mengyi spoke, her good friend was about to step forward and debate when she was stopped by Faang Mengyi.
