Chapter 161 Conclusion
When this young lady first came to the county, she was generous and behaved in a high-profile manner. In addition, County Magistrate Gu was a new official, so as his fiancée, she was in great glory and bought a large house next to the county government office at a high price.
The carriage was driving on the street, the wheels rolling and raising a little dust.
Zhao Qiqi sat in the carriage, feeling confused. She was looking forward to meeting Gu Fanggui, but also worried about the unknowns that she would face. Gu Yansui drove the carriage attentively, but his heart was also full of expectations. The other brothers and sisters might have forgotten what their father looked like, but he remembered it clearly.
Soon, the carriage arrived at the gate of Fu's mansion. This mansion was magnificent, with red doors tightly closed and stone lions standing majestically at the door. Zhao Qiqi took a deep breath and calmed down.
Gu Yansui went up to negotiate with the doorman and explained his purpose. After the doorman went in to report, a man who looked like a butler came out after a while.
The housekeeper looked at Zhao Qiqi and Gu Yansui and said calmly, "My young lady doesn't see outsiders, please go back."
Zhao Qiqi's heart tightened, and he quickly said, "Housekeeper, we are not here to disturb your young lady, but to discuss important matters with the county magistrate. Please be flexible."
The housekeeper frowned slightly: "Mr. Gu is my young lady's distinguished guest, how can you see him whenever you want? Leave quickly and don't linger here."
Zhao Qiqi refused to give up and continued, "Butler, this matter is of great importance. Please inform him again. We will only say a few words to the county magistrate and then leave."
She didn't know how to explain this troublesome matter to the housekeeper, because everything had to wait until Gu Fanggui confirmed his identity before she could know whether he was Gu Lin or not.
The housekeeper was a little impatient, but seeing that Zhao Qiqi was determined, he went in and reported again.
The waiting time was extremely long, and Zhao Qiqi's heart was in his throat.
Finally, the housekeeper came out again, his tone still unfriendly: "Wait a moment."
Zhao Qiqi and Gu Yansui looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they were a little bit relieved, it would mean there would be a chance.
Gu Fanggui did not see it, but a woman came out. She was wearing gorgeous clothes, the material shimmered in the sunlight, her hairpin moved slightly, her eyebrows were as dark as distant ink, her whole body exuded some pride, her red lips were smiling, her black hair was well-maintained, hanging on her shoulders, and then returning to her shoulders as she moved.
"Who are you? Why do you want to see Gu Lang?"
Seeing that the woman was dressed as a woman, who should be much older than her, Fu Wanyi's aggressiveness decreased a little.
"I..." Zhao Qiqi suddenly felt a little difficult to speak, but he also knew that the opportunity was hard to come by and should not be wasted: "Can you let County Magistrate Gu come out and say a few words? He looks quite like our missing Gu Lin."
After hearing this, Fu Wanyi's remaining patience disappeared completely. Over the years, many people took advantage of Fang Gui's amnesia and wanted to come to his house to claim his relationship with them, but they were actually just scammers.
She didn't want to waste her time here. After all, Gu Fanggui rarely had time to accompany her. It was unnecessary to waste time with these people.
Seeing that the person was about to leave, Zhao Qiqi was really anxious, but she had no way to prove anything at all.
"Miss Fu, doesn't Lord Gu want to find his family? As long as there is hope, we should check it out, right? Our old lady has been missing him for many years and she is unwilling to give up any hope. She came here once today and was driven away. With a loving mother's heart, if Lord Gu can find his family, she will definitely be very happy, Miss Fu."
Fu Wanyi stopped in her tracks. She was afraid that if she found Gu Fanggui's family, what if he already had a wife at home? However, if she could really find them, he... he would be happy.
The young lady, who has always dared to think and act, is in trouble at this moment.
In fact, her family didn't allow her to be with Gu Fanggui, after all, there was a big age gap between them, and he had lost his memory and his origins were unknown. She came here alone with Gu Fanggui, and actually cut off contact with her family.
"Who are you to him?"
Miss Fu grasped the key point immediately, her eyes sharp as she lingered between Zhao Qiqi and Gu Yansui.
These words really made Zhao Qiqi feel embarrassed. She understood the relationship between Miss Fu and Gu Fanggui. If she told him about her relationship with Gu Lin... let alone meeting and talking with Gu Fanggui, she would probably not even have the chance to see him from afar.
Zhao Qiqi was calculating rapidly in her mind. After a moment, she lowered her eyes slightly and said softly, "I am the daughter of Old Lady Gu, his sister. My mother is old and came here once in the morning. She couldn't see anyone, so she asked me to come here."
Fu Wanyi narrowed her eyes and looked at Zhao Qiqi, as if judging the truth in her words. Gu Yansui didn't understand and watched nervously from the side, not daring to breathe, for fear that his mother's lies would be seen through by Miss Fu.
After a long while, Fu Wanyi raised her chin slightly and said, "In this case, I will give you a chance. But if you tell a lie, don't blame me for being rude."
Zhao Qiqi was delighted and quickly expressed his gratitude.
Fu Wanyi turned and walked into the mansion, while Zhao Qiqi and Gu Yansui waited anxiously at the door.
After a while, Fu Wanyi appeared again, followed by Gu Fanggui.
Gu Fanggui was wearing a blue robe and had an elegant temperament. He looked at Zhao Qiqi and her son with a hint of doubt in his eyes. He still remembered that the lady's name was Zhao Qiqi.
Zhao Qiqi was in a very calm mood. Firstly, she had no feelings for either Gu Lin or Gu Fanggui. But Gu Yansui was different. The man in front of her looked exactly like his father!
His heartbeat suddenly quickened involuntarily. He tried hard to control his emotions, but his eyes couldn't help revealing his admiration for his father.
Fu Wanyi looked at Gu Yansui's reaction and felt a little uneasy.
"Mrs. Zhao." Gu Fanggui was curious why the person they found was Zhao Qiqi. He didn't know why, but whenever he saw this person, he felt a little annoyed.
This woman actually knew Gu Lang. Fu Wanyi was a little unhappy. She coughed lightly and said, "If you have anything to say, please say it quickly. Gu Lang is very busy."
Zhao Qiqi quickly organized his speech and said, "Master Gu, I'm sorry to bother you because you look very similar to an old friend of mine. I wonder if you still remember something from the past?"
Gu Fanggui frowned slightly and shook his head: "I have lost my memory and can't remember anything from the past."
Zhao Qiqi had thought about this result a long time ago, but she knew in her heart that no matter how similar two people were, they could not be so similar in their words, actions, and personalities. At this moment, she had already reached a conclusion in her heart.
