Gu Hongwei took the business card and glanced at it, then handed his card back. The man, upon seeing that Gu Hongwei owned a breeding farm, naturally felt a sense of doubt.
Why would the Han family interact with someone from a breeding farm?
But then he considered that, the Han Family being respected and wealthy, there would naturally be many people hoping to curry favor, probably from all sorts of industries.
Seeing that Han Enzhen and Tong Yao seemed to have a good relationship and were of similar ages, it was likely they were close friends from their younger days.
The man didn’t persist in grilling him. After a brief chat, he excused himself and left.
Gu Hongwei walked to his car, opened the door, and motioned for Tong Yao and Guo Jinnian to get in. Then they all drove home.
Who would’ve thought, the next morning just as Tong Yao got up, there was a knock on the door, and Han Enzhen appeared looking utterly disheartened. No soon had Tong Yao invited her in than Han Enzhen started to vent her heart out.
"Yaoyao, I’m done for. Fu Sen has taken an interest in me, he’s such a freak, he actually spent tens of thousands of yuan buying all my oil paintings, is he insane? I was happy for nothing, thinking that there was someone who genuinely appreciated my artwork."
Tong Yao, though expecting it was Fu Sen, was still amazed by his extravagance, "Enzhen, if Fu Sen is willing to spend this much money, it seems you can’t escape."
If he wasn’t truly in love, there’s no way a person like Fu Sen would splurge to this extent.
He must be madly in love with Han Enzhen.
Han Enzhen shook her head, looking unhappy, "I think I’m going to fail this time, there’s something seriously wrong with this guy."
Tong Yao was very curious about the story between Han Enzhen and Fu Sen, so she poured a glass of water for her friend. "Enzhen, what’s going on between you and him? Is it okay if you tell me?"
Other than Tong Yao, Han Enzhen didn’t have anyone else to confide in. She needed someone to hear her out, so Tong Yao’s question hit her right in the heart.
Angrily, she said, "It’s a long story, when I was seventeen studying overseas, I loved oil painting. One day during an outdoor painting session, I met Fu Sen. I thought he was handsome, so I included him in a painting. When he left, I gave him the painting. It was then I learned that he was an international student."
Thinking back, Han Enzhen angrily continued, "Later when I ran into a drunken foreigner, Fu Sen saved me. Yaoyao, do you know? Back then I thought he was the hero sent by God to rescue me, then I dramatically fell in love with him. I started to hang around his school gate to bump into him, but unfortunately he just treated me like a little sister, he doesn’t like me."
At this point, Han Enzhen sighed in disappointment, "I thought as long as I was proactive, he would definitely be moved. I diligently pursued him for a year, but he was completely unmoved. I then gave up, didn’t seek him out anymore, practically forgetting about this person. Many years later he reappears, do you think he’s crazy? When I liked him, he didn’t care about me, and now that I no longer like him, he just starts to pursue me after so many years. Does he think just because he likes me, I have to like him back?"
In the end, Han Enzhen proudly lifted her chin, she just doesn’t like Fu Sen anymore. Whoever wants to have feeling for him can go ahead, it has nothing to do with her.
Tong Yao never expected that when Han Enzhen was seventeen or eighteen, she pursued someone so fervently. It seems likely that Fu Sen only regarded her as a young girl and never thought much of it. After Han Enzhen suddenly disappeared without warning, Fu Sen started to realize his feelings for her.
In that year, Han Enzhen had always pursued Fu Sen on her own initiative, so Fu Sen didn’t understand much about her. When she disappeared, he did not know where to begin searching for her.
As these thoughts settled, Tong Yao was very curious, "Didn’t you see his newspaper ad looking for you back then? I heard that that was quite a big deal."
Han Enzhen shook her head, "My mother just happened to have passed away at that time, so I went back to Kyoto. I stayed at home for six months and then returned."
Ah....
She really completely missed that.
"So, what’s your plan now? Do you really not like him anymore?"
Han Enzhen expressed her detestation, "Although he still looks passable now, after so many years, who would still like him? The preferences from when I was 17 or 18 are not the same as now! Also, he isn’t the same guy as before. Back then, he was a bright and happy boy. Now, at first glance, he is just a cunning old fox."
Tong Yao couldn’t help but burst into laughter, "Fu Sen is quite influential in Kyoto, if you want to avoid him, it won’t be easy."
Upon hearing this, Han Enzhen looked even more defeated, "He is indeed influential, he even got to know my family. My grandfather even really likes him. Yaoyao, I’m planning to go overseas to stay out of the limelight, this man is too scary."
Tong Yao saw how disheartened Han Enzhen looked and felt that Fu Sen’s journey to love would be a rocky one.
Han Enzhen didn’t leave until the afternoon. She had lunch at Tong Yao’s place and when she left, Guo Miaomiao made her a cup of milk tea. According to her, she planned to fly overseas the next day.
And return when the Hai City exhibition started.
The New Year was approaching and the weather was getting colder. Mid-December, Gu Hongwei and Hu Haiyun took a train to E Country together.
Tong Yao stayed at home, enjoying quiet and comfortable days as her pregnancy advanced. Before they knew it, the New Year arrived. Tong Yaohui and Wen Yun took a temporary week-long leave from the breeding farm, only leaving after the third day of the New Year.
Gu Hongwei stayed in E Country for a week, only returning to Kyoto after the fifth day of the New Year.
Originally, everything was excellent. Businesses in E country and in Kyoto were maintaining steady growth. Given their current progress, each month there’s a nearly tenfold increase in profits, greatly expanding their reserves.
The profits from the breeding farm were also considerable, and Gu Hongwei was even featured in a newspaper, becoming a well-known promising young man in Kyoto. As Tong Yao, due to Si Chen being a doctor, chose to stay behind the scenes.
They didn’t earn less money; they merely kept a low profile. Those familiar with their team knew that behind Gu Hongwei, there was a smart and beautiful woman in control. Those who didn’t know merely thought of Gu Hongwei as a young success story.
By April, peach blossoms begin to bloom, and Tong Yao was showing a noticeable baby bump, becoming lazier as well. Other than things absolutely necessary and settling accounts at the end of the month, she hardly ever felt like going out.
In early April, she received her housing compensation, and her grandfather’s house was also ready for demolition. Over the phone, Tong Yao discussed her plans to invest in the transportation industry with her father, Tong Yaohui. He had no objections, his entrepreneurial spirit not diminished by age.
However, the house money was not only his, Tong Yaohui still very much respected his wife’s thoughts. "Yaoyao, I’ll talk this through with your mother first, see what she thinks. You should also talk to Xiaochen about it. The house may be ours, but Xiaochen is also part of our family. It’s wrong for us to make decisions without asking his opinion."
