Only after her death did I realize that she was the white moonlight of a billionaire CEO.

Chapter 176 'Fatherly Love and Filial Piety': A Funeral Sends Away Two Bad Seeds

"If it's not because Li Xi is still young that he's not getting married, then why is he not getting married? Does your family believe in feng shui and think that getting married these past two years is unlucky for you, so you have to wait a little longer?"

Ying Chengfeng reminded Gu Huaizhou: "I advise you not to believe in those superstitious things. If a relationship goes on for too long, it will either break up or end."

"Take it easy."

Ying Chengfeng wasn't exaggerating when he said these things, because such absurd things had indeed happened in high society.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Gu Huaizhou said. "Li Xi's birth mother is not in good health, so the wedding is too hasty."

"So that's why. There were rumors earlier that Li Xi was the little princess of the fifth family in Southeast Asia. Is that true?"

Gu Huaizhou nodded, "Absolutely true."

"Wow, that's amazing. Do you know what people in the industry are saying about you two right now?"

Gu Huaizhou didn't know, and was also very curious, "What did they say?"

"They say that you knew Li Xi's true identity all along, and that you abandoned Xie Jiaoyue to pursue Li Xi in order to form a marriage alliance with the Fifth Family."

Gu Huaizhou: "...What nonsense, rubbish."

"By the way," Ying Chengfeng said, getting back to the point, and asked Gu Huaizhou, "Isn't Li Xi's mother the Fifth Family's Fifth Dream, who has been missing for many years?"

What's wrong with her health?

Gu Huaizhou couldn't tell Ying Chengfeng about Wu Meng, only saying, "She's in poor health. Doctor Feng has determined that she doesn't have many days left to live, so our wedding will have to be postponed."

Dr. Feng?

Ying Chengfeng asked uncertainly, "Is it that old gentleman Feng Qing from Kyoto?"

Gu Huaizhou nodded. "It is Elder Feng."

Ying Chengfeng was taken aback. "Old Master Feng has been retired for many years. Why is he willing to come out of seclusion again?"

"The Fifth Family and the Gu Family joined forces to invite him to come out of seclusion, and only then did Elder Feng agree to do so."

"Money really does make the devil turn the millstone. Even Elder Feng has spoken, so Li Xi's mother's lifespan may really be coming to an end."

"correct."

Ying Chengfeng thought of the most important thing and asked Gu Huaizhou, "Didn't you want to ask Elder Feng to perform brain surgery on you to help you regain your memory?"

"Didn't Elder Feng take a look at you during our meeting?"

“I have seen it, but Elder Feng had no way to treat my illness. He recommended that I go see Carlos’s only disciple.”

As a fellow psychologist, Ying Chengfeng certainly knew Carlos, but she didn't know that Carlos had a student.

"Senior Carlos has disciples?"

"Yes, he's supposedly a Chinese man named Chen Feng. He's a disciple of Carlos. My men have already started looking for Chen Feng, and we should get news soon."

"Chen Feng?" Ying Chengfeng laughed and teased, "This name sounds quite similar to mine. What are the two characters?"

Gu Huaizhou was very serious. He said, "Er Dong Chen, the 'wind' in 'wind rises and waters rises,' is different from your name."

“It’s slightly different, but the name sounds familiar.” Ying Chengfeng tilted his head back and racked his brains, but couldn’t remember where he had heard it before.

Gu Huaizhou reminded him: "Among the more than thirty adopted sons that Mr. Chen Rudong sponsored, there happens to be one named Chen Feng."

"That person happened to die a few months before my family's accident. He died abroad and was a medical student who was sent abroad on a government scholarship for further studies."

"Now that you mention it, I remember. No wonder it sounded familiar."

Ying Chengfeng didn't take it to heart. He took off his suit jacket and handed it to the butler.

Turning around, he saw Gu Huaizhou still standing outside the hallway in a daze. He paused, narrowed his eyes, and said, "You...you don't suspect that Chen Feng and Carlos's student are the same person, do you?"

"It sounds absurd, doesn't it? But the last time Elder Feng saw Chen Feng was at Carlos's funeral."

Ying Chengfeng didn't understand the connection between the two things. "So what?"

Gu Huaizhou reminded him: "When I was 15, Chen Feng died in a mudslide, and when I was 19, Carlos died of illness."

"A person who has been dead for four years showed up at his mentor's funeral. What do you think?"

Ying Chengfeng remained silent.

A moment later, Ying Chengfeng pointed out the inconsistency: "Even if your guess is correct, why would Chen Feng risk attending Carlos's funeral after faking his death?"

"Isn't he worried about being recognized?"

"This Chen Feng is very skilled at disguise and makeup. He disguised himself as the Orange Woman and secretly went to pay his respects to Carlos."

"Old Feng had a lot of experiences in his life. He had bone-shaving surgery when he was young and was also a master of disguise. He was an expert in disguise."

"Therefore, even if others did not recognize Chen Feng, Elder Feng recognized him at a glance."

“If Elder Feng’s judgment is correct, then this Chen Feng is indeed suspicious.” Ying Chengfeng suggested that Gu Huaizhou inform Officer Zhou of these clues as soon as possible. “After all, Officer Zhou can mobilize police forces. With his assistance in the investigation, we should be able to find out who Chen Feng is.”

“Of course.” In fact, before leaving Southeast Asia, Gu Huaizhou had already told Officer Zhou about these new discoveries.

At this moment, Officer Zhou's men have made progress.

After Ying Li and Li Xi finished their sweet talk, they finally had time to pay attention to the two people standing at the door talking.

Li Xi waved to Gu Huaizhou: "Gu Huaizhou, look how cute Lili is, how about we have a daughter too?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Huaizhou was taken aback.

This topic sounds so familiar; Ying Chengfeng mentioned it to Gu Huaizhou just a few minutes ago.

Ying Chengfeng gently nudged Gu Huaizhou's arm, "Didn't you hear Li Xi telling you to have a daughter with her?"

Without saying a word, Gu Huaizhou walked over to Li Xi and sat down, snatching the little Kuromi from Qiuqiu's dog mouth.

He pretended to examine the small toy carefully, and only after the hot breath on his ears cooled down did he softly say, "Okay."

"Have a daughter."

But Li Xi had already dragged Ying Li to the yard to play frisbee with Qiu Qiu.

*

After enjoying a delicious and sumptuous dinner, Gu Huaizhou took Li Xi back to the Lanting Apartment to live together as a couple.

After a shameless night, Li Xi woke up the next morning looking radiant, while Gu Huaizhou was too lazy to sleep in.

He was exhausted last night, so he deserves to get more sleep.

Li Xi got up quietly, dressed, and prepared to go downstairs to her apartment.

She had just opened the door to 2301 when the door to 2302 across the street opened at the same time.

Jiang Xinghe, wearing a sky-blue sweater, leaned against his front door with his arms crossed, staring at Li Xi who came out of Gu Huaizhou's house with a playful expression.

When Li Xi was discovered to have stayed overnight, she felt guilty for a moment.

On second thought, she realized that she and Gu Huaizhou were a legitimate couple, and it was perfectly normal for her to stay overnight. Why was she so shy?

Li Xi immediately became firm.

Jiang Xinghe offered his congratulations first: "I saw your posts on WeChat Moments, congratulations!"

Changing the subject, Jiang Xinghe added, "You two are not married yet, so take it easy. Don't get pregnant, or you won't be able to fit into your wedding dresses."

Li Xi waved her hand, "It's okay, at worst we can just wait until the child is born and grows up, then get married while holding the child's hand."

Jiang Xinghe raised an eyebrow, admiring Li Xi's mental fortitude. "As expected of Sister Xi, she dares to act and take responsibility, and dares to have a life of her own."

"That's right, Sister Xi is rich, of course she dares to have children and raise them."

Seeing that Li Xi was confident, Jiang Xinghe was no longer worried.

"You didn't sleep this early in the morning just to wait here and see me make a fool of myself? How childish!"

Jiang Xinghe chuckled and turned to pick up his luggage bag.

He slung his backpack over his shoulder and said, "I got up early to catch my flight, and stopping you was just a side trip."

"You're going abroad?" Li Xi was extremely surprised. "I heard from Gu Huaizhou that your mentor passed on all his research data to you before he passed away."

"Several foreign forces are watching you now. Going abroad is like entering a wolf's den. What are you going to do abroad?"

Jiang Xinghe walked to the elevator, pressed the down button, and casually replied, "Go collect my corpse."

Li Xi was taken aback.

Give me...

"You're really going to collect your father's corpse? Is that a lame joke?"

"real."

It turned out that just yesterday, Jiang Zhulang had traveled to M Continent to investigate the development of the branch office. Upon landing in M ​​Continent, Jiang Zhulang had barely gotten into the van when the car suddenly exploded.

"It is said that the car was blown to pieces, and Jiang Zhulang was blown to pieces. As his son, I have to go and collect his body."

The elevator has arrived.

Jiang Xinghe entered the elevator car first. After Li Xi entered the elevator, he first pressed '2201' for Li Xi, and then pressed '-1'.

After pressing the button, Jiang Xinghe suddenly let out a nervous laugh, "Hehe."

Li Xi felt a chill run down her spine. "What are you laughing at?"

Jiang Xinghe turned back and winked at Li Xi, saying, "The old man died a violent death in a foreign land; he must have died with his eyes wide open in disbelief."

"I'll hire a highly respected Taoist priest to come with me to M Continent to collect his body and perform a ritual to help him pass on to the afterlife. If he has a spirit in heaven, wouldn't he be moved to tears?"

Li Xi: "..."

Back then, Jiang Zhulang asked a Taoist priest for help to hide the ashes of Jiang Xinghe's mother under the Jiang family ancestral hall to change the Jiang family's fortune.

Now that Jiang Zhulang has died tragically in a foreign land, Jiang Xinghe invites a Taoist priest to perform a ritual together.

Is it too much?

Li Xi smiled gently and said, "That's great. I'm sure your grandfather and the Jiang family relatives will be moved to tears when they hear about this."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xinghe's smile deepened.

...

That night, around 1 a.m., Li Xi was on set with Zhou Zui and the others filming a major scene when Xue Ni suddenly approached Li Xi with her phone in hand.

"Xixi, do you think this is Jiang Xinghe?"

Li Xi glanced casually at her phone screen; it was a video that Xue Ni had paused.

The paused image rested precisely on Jiang Xinghe's face.

Li Xi continued playing the video, and then saw the comical scene of Jiang Xinghe holding an urn and following the Taoist priest in circles to "exorcise" Jiang Zhulang.

Xue Ni said, "They all say that the Jiang family hired a Taoist priest back then and used Jiang Xinghe's mother as the core of a wealth-gathering formation, preventing her from being reborn."

"After Chairman Jiang died, Jiang Xinghe took the Taoist priests abroad to ensure that Chairman Jiang's soul would not be able to be reborn."

"is that true?"

With a stern face, Li Xi said in a serious tone, "Nonsense, it's all superstition. Young people should believe in science."

Xue Ni: "..."

Okay, okay, believe in science, don't be superstitious.

After lunch, Ying Chengfeng left first, but Ying Li stayed behind, becoming Gu Huaizhou and Li Xi's "little tail".

Knowing that Gu Huaizhou had important business to attend to in the afternoon and Li Xi had other plans for the evening, Gu Wentao did not insist that they stay overnight.

After Ying Chengfeng left, Gu Wentao took out a thick red envelope from his coat pocket and handed it to Li Xi.

"Xi'er, here, this is a little red envelope from Grandpa for you, take it."

Li Xi and Gu Huaizhou looked at each other.

Seeing Gu Huaizhou nod, Li Xi stood up, bowed slightly, and solemnly accepted the red envelope with both hands.

"Thank you, Grandpa Gu."

"Let me see." Gu Huaizhou snatched the red envelope and opened it in front of everyone. Inside was a stack of red hundred-yuan bills, with a one-yuan banknote on top.

The word "块" (kuài) means one in ten thousand, which represents Gu Wentao's approval of Li Xi as his granddaughter-in-law.

Gu Huaizhou was satisfied. He put the red envelope back in its original place and returned it to Li Xi. He then said to Gu Wentao, "Grandpa, is this just a small red envelope? Nothing else?"

Li Xi tugged at Gu Huaizhou's arm, trying to persuade him to have some self-respect, but Gu Wentao laughed and said, "Yes! That red supercar at the door is my gift to Xi-yatou."

"Oh right, the things in the car too."

After saying that, Gu Wentao was about to get up.

Li Xi and Gu Huaizhou stepped forward in unison to help him up. The old man looked at the young people on his left and right, and a smile appeared on his face again.

“Xi girl, come visit me anytime you have time. Even if Huaizhou is busy, you can still come and play by yourself.”

"Alright, Grandpa Gu!"

As soon as Gu Wentao left, Gu Huaizhou took Li Xi to get the gifts.

The red supercar was parked by the roadside in the oak forest. When I opened the car door and the front trunk, I found that they were full of gifts.

Gu Huaizhou had Butler Zhou bring over a small knife, and together with Li Xi, they unwrapped the gifts.

Gu Wentao was very sincere, giving Li Xi all sorts of precious items that girls would love, such as limited edition women's watches, matching priceless jewelry, and bags from various brands...

Finally, there was a violin made by a master craftsman.

It's clear that Gu Wentao did background research on Li Xi and knew that she had studied violin under a famous teacher when she was young.

However, after the kidnapping incident, she became mentally unstable and had to stop studying. When she recovered, she found that she could no longer play a complete piece of music.

As she stroked the zither, Li Xi suddenly said, "I just remembered why I'm afraid of whistles."

Gu Huaizhou suddenly looked at Li Xi.

Leaning against the car, Li Xi recalled in a daze, "That wasn't a whistle, it was the whistling sound of a violin..."

"That person can't play the violin, but she always deliberately plays it in my ear to ignite my spirit, trying to persuade me to give up."

"Oh right, that person always wore a fox mask when they appeared, but I remember their eyes were blue..."

"Blue eyes?" Gu Huaizhou searched his memory carefully before saying, "No, blue eyes are very striking. I've seen that person before. If they really had blue eyes, I would definitely remember them."

"...So, she was wearing colored contact lenses?" Li Xi wasn't quite sure either.

"Maybe?"

maybe.

"Whether the other person was wearing colored contact lenses or some other disguise, I will tell Officer Zhou about your findings when we meet later."
