Han Siqi, who is changing his trousers, is shocked. Seeing that Fu Zhengzheng is about to hit him, he pretends to be nervous and shouts, “Hmm? Do you want to knock me out and do bad things to me?”

“Who… Who is going to do bad things to you! I thought… thought there were thieves.” Fu Zhengzheng speaks haltingly. Then she immediately puts down the broom and walks out of the lounge.

How could she have thought that Han Siqi would go back and change his trousers here?

“Are you shy? Isn’t it what you want to see most?” Han Siqi comes out laughing after getting dressed neatly.

Fu Zhengzheng, who has recovered from the shock, ignores him and returns to her seat.

Although she is curious to know why he doesn’t eat with Qiao Keren and also wants to ask whether he is hungry.

“Are you unhappy?” Han Siqi stops at her desk, puts away his smile and asks softly.

“No.”

“Have you had lunch yet?”

“Yes.”

Han Siqi frowns when he hears such cold words, and stares at Fu Zhengzheng for more than ten seconds. But Fu Zhengzheng keeps a straight face without raising her head, as if regarding him as air.

Han Siqi seems to feel bored. When he walks to the door, he turns back and says, “You get off work early to pick up Fu Xing. If he asks about me, tell him that I am busy these days and I will go see him when I am free. By the way, tomorrow is Saturday, so don’t come to work and take him out to play.”

“Wait a minute,” Fu Zhengzheng suddenly remembers something and hurriedly says to him, “Mr. Han, now that Miss Qiao is back, if we still live in your house, I’m afraid we will cause you some unnecessary trouble. What do you think…”

Han Siqi interrupts her coldly, “Fu Zhengzheng, listen. First, stop being so polite when you speak to me. Second, don’t even think about moving out without my permission.”

“Mr. Han, I’m just your employee, not your slave. I have my own freedom and power.” Fu Zhengzheng replies him coldly. Then she pauses and says, “You lied to me that Aunt Chen had to leave for a month to take care of her daughter-in-law in confinement, so I promised to take care of you for a month. Now Aunt Chen is back and you barely come home, thus you have no need for two maids at all.”

Han Siqi replies disapprovingly, “Using how many maids is my own business. Besides, since Fu Xing bought me to be his daddy, I am obliged to take care of him. I hire you to take care of my son, not me. Woman, you had better live there obediently. Do you remember how you were refused last time when you sneaked out to rent a house during working hours? I am sure you can’t rent any apartment in B city.”

Fu Zhengzheng says angrily, “It was you who played tricks on me. No wonder the landlord didn’t rent the house to me!”

“If you don’t want to tramp the streets, be obedient.”

After saying that, Han Siqi turns around and leaves.

Facing Han Siqi’s threat, Fu Zhengzheng is annoyed, but she doesn’t know what to do.

But for the intention to investigate the case, she really wants to leave B city with Fu Xing, so that she will never see Han Siqi again, and won’t see him behave affectionately towards another woman.

After leaving, Han Siqi does not come back to the office in the afternoon. Thinking of what Han Siqi said, she gets off work a little earlier. However, she does not go to pick up Fu Xing directly, but goes to the supermarket near Happy Community.

Yang Tao has been waiting for her in the small lounge.

“Come on, Zhengzheng, have a cup of hot tea. It’s cold outside.” Yang Tao hands over a cup of brewed tea.

It’s only November. It’s not that cold.

Anyway, Fu Zhengzheng takes the tea with a smile and says, “Thank you.”

“Don’t be so polite to me.” Yang Tao’s eyes are full of tenderness.

Fu Zhengzheng goes straight to the point, “Have you found out why Zhou Bing did not go to work?”

“Yes.” Yang Tao nods and takes out a stack of documents from his bag. “You know, Zhengzheng, it shocks me after I investigated him. He is really a trouble-maker.”

The original name of Zhou Bing is Zhou Chengbing, nicknamed Duck. Six years ago, he was one of the trusted subordinates of Brother Daming. After Brother Daming was caught, his several trusted subordinates were also caught one after another. Zhou Chengbing was sentenced to five years. He was released two years ago because of his good performance in prison and special connections.

After being released from prison, he returned to his hometown and behaved well for a period of time. Last year, he came to B city again with a different ID card and a different name, and worked in Weihan as a security guard. In the daytime, he is a security guard, but secretly, he has always been contacting those subordinates of Brother Daming.

“However, according to the evidence I have at present, there is no sign of drug trafficking in Zhou Bing. I don’t know what he is going to do to call these people together, but we must pay close attention to that.”

“As far as I know, Zhou Bing hasn’t come to work since yesterday. According to Weihan’s regulations, anyone who is absent from work for two days without a good reason will be dismissed. I have heard that nobody in the company knows where he has gone.”

“Is he missing?”

“Not exactly. When I went to the supermarket last night, I saw him being running after by someone. Otherwise, I would not have asked you to investigate him. Does he take drugs?” Fu Zhengzheng lightly mentions what happened last night without mentioning Ji Muxian, because she is afraid that Yang Tao may ask why she went to Ten-Mile Sunshine Resort.

Yang Tao immediately answers, “He doesn’t take drugs. The police station always attaches great importance to cases such as drug trafficking. If there are drug addicts, there must be drug trafficking. Except for the last case related to Weihan, no similar cases have been found.”

“What about gambling? I heard the man who chased him yelling at him to pay back money.”

“As far as I know, Zhou Bing does not take drugs, but he is addicted to alcohol. He likes gambling every time he drinks, and he owes a lot of debt to others.”

Yang Tao’s words dispel the doubts of Fu Zhengzheng, who was originally suspicious of Ji Muxian. Ji Muxian dresses so poorly that he must value money very much. It’s normal for him to chase people to collect debts.

But she didn’t expect that Ji Muxian would buy such expensive clothes for his mother. He is really a very filial person.

“Zhengzheng, I’m asking someone to inquire about Zhou Bing’s whereabouts now. I’ll tell you if there is any news.”

“OK, I have to leave now.” Noticing that it is late, Fu Zhengzheng gets up quickly.

Yang Tao looks at the clock on the wall, and says reluctantly, “Time flies. Zhengzheng, it’s getting cold. You should take good care of yourself and protect yourself.”

“I will.” Fu Zhengzheng smiles, and then goes to the supermarket to buy something randomly before going to the kindergarten to pick up Fu Xing.

Sure enough, when Fu Xing sees her, his face is marked with disappointment.

“Mommy, why doesn’t Daddy pick me up again today?”

“Your daddy takes over a big project, so he’s going to be busy for a long time.” She is only uncompromising in front of Han Siqi. How can she bear to make her son unhappy?

“Daddy has to go to work, doesn’t he? Tomorrow is Saturday. Can I see Daddy if I go to the company? I miss Daddy so much.”

“I will have a day off tomorrow.”

Hearing this, Fu Xing pouts while complaining, “Why do you take a day off? I want to see Daddy. I have learned a new song and I want to sing it to Daddy.”

“Your daddy is busy now. Why don’t you learn more songs and sing to him when he is free? Mommy will take you to the amusement park tomorrow. I heard that there are some new facilities there. It’s going to be more interesting.” Fu Zhengzheng takes her son home smilingly.

“Daddy won’t go there. I am not happy.”

“Aunt Xu Yan invites you to have steak tomorrow evening.” Fu Zhengzheng knows that his son is not particularly interested in playing, but he can never refuse delicious food.

Sure enough, Fu Xing’s eyes light up. “Steak? Well, I’m also going to have popcorn and fruit salad.”

“OK, I will satisfy you.”

The mother and son get on the bus while laughing.

Han Siqi does not come back for dinner. After they have finished their meal, Fu Zhengzheng helps Chen Qiaolan do some housework, and then takes Fu Xing upstairs.

After checking his homework, they take a bath and then go to bed early.

*

“Mommy, it’s raining.” Early in the morning, Fu Xing looks out with his head lying on the windowsill and shouts.

Fu Zhengzheng gets up in her pajamas and looks out. The ground is wet and it is windy.

“Mommy, we can’t go to the amusement park in such weather.” Fu Xing is a little frustrated, but he becomes happy again, saying, “Mommy, why don’t you go to work today, so that I can play with Daddy.”

“Your daddy is not in the company.” She doesn’t want to spend another day watching the intimacies between Qiao Keren and Han Siqi.

“Oh.” Fu Xing goes back to his bed with disappointment.

Fu Zhengzheng pinches his face and says smilingly, “Mommy will take you to the mall and buy you some handsome clothes so that you can become the most handsome kid in kindergarten.”

“Buy beautiful clothes? That’s great.” Fu Xing becomes happy again. He gets up and asks his mother to dress him.

After changing clothes and eating breakfast, they come to a shopping mall not far from the community. Fu Zhengzheng buys two sets of winter clothes for her son. Fu Xing is cheerful to see his handsome image in the mirror and refuses to take off the clothes, insisting that he must wear beautiful clothes to have dinner with the beautiful Aunt Xu Yan at night.

Knowing well her son’s temper, Fu Zhengzheng allows him smilingly.

It is almost twelve o’clock when they come out of the shopping mall. Fu Zhengzheng is thinking about taking her son to Liufu Soup Shop to have gaifan, a typical Chinese fast food, which is one of Fu Xing’s favorites.

As they are talking while walking, suddenly, a car with the sign of a procuratorate stops beside them. Fu Zhengzheng is so frightened that she pulls Fu Xing aside.

Then a man hurriedly comes out of the car with a bag in his hand.

“Xiao Yicheng, it’s you?” Fu Zhengzheng recognizes him.

“Zhengzheng?” Xiao Yicheng is somewhat surprised, but he doesn’t stop. He raises the bag in his hand and says in a hurry, “I have something urgent to deal with. I’ll talk to you later.”

Then he runs quickly to a nearby teahouse.

“Mummy, is this uncle your friend?” Fu Xing pulls Fu Zhengzheng’s hand.

“Yes.”

“Is he your ordinary friend?”

Fu Zhengzheng laughs, and she pokes at his forehead, saying, “Little boy, what is an ordinary friend and what is a special friend?”

Fu Xing pouts his lips and answers seriously, “Mommy, if this uncle is just your ordinary friend, I will help him. If he is a man you want to date, no way. I will not help Daddy’s rival.”

“Help him? What can you do for him?” Fu Zhengzheng looks at her son with curiosity.
