BXBX NOVEL Chapter 99 New Girlfriend
Two days after the voyage, the two of them met the fleet sent by Gong You and returned to City A.
The boat stopped at the harbor of the city. Gong Hao brought Fu Xi back to the Gong family. Fu Xi leaned lazily on the car seat and closed her eyes to recover her energy.
"Your father is probably getting anxious."
Before they returned, they had already spread the news that Gong Hao had a fortuitous encounter and that his leg was already recovered. How could Gong You hide his fear? He had done a lot of probing in the open and in the dark.
Now that the two of them had just landed, Gong You did not give them any time to rest. He only said that he wanted to welcome them and had prepared a banquet. It was in the largest hotel in the city.
The elders of the Fu and Gong families had also arrived and were waiting for the two of them in the hotel.
"Let him be anxious. Xi\'er, follow me later. Don\'t be alone." Gong Hao snorted with determination in his eyes.
No matter what, he would protect Fu Xi.
"Peace. My grandfather is here too. He wants to cause trouble at the reception, but I don\'t think he can."
Fu Xi wasn\'t too worried. Gong You wasn\'t qualified to attend such a banquet with an elder from her family.
Seeing that she didn\'t care, Gong Hao secretly decided that he would follow her closely later.
The car quickly stopped in front of the hotel.
Gong You, Father Fu, and Mother Fu were already waiting at the door. When they saw the two of them get out of the car, Mother Fu was the first to welcome them. She hugged Fu Xi tightly, tears dripping down her face.
"Xi\'er, you\'re finally back. Mom was so worried about you."
"Mom, I\'m fine." Fu Xi patted her back and pointed at Gong Hao. "I had a good time this time. It was worth it."
"Yes, it\'s worth it. As long as you\'re fine." Mother Fu wiped her tears and dragged Fu Xi and Gong Hao in.
Seeing the old man sitting at the head of the table, Fu Xi smiled sweetly. "Grandpa."
"Come, Xi\'er, sit beside Grandfather." Old Master Fu beckoned and glanced at Gong Hao, who was following her. His beard curled up. "Ah Hao, come too."
He had set the tone and they sat beside him.
After everyone sat down, Gong You beckoned for the waiter to serve the dishes. He said to the woman beside him, "Ah Rou, come over too. We\'re all family. You can meet them."
Fu Xi raised her eyebrows.
Who was this?
Without waiting for her to ask, Gong You introduced with a smile, "Ah Rou is my new girlfriend."
Fu Xi\'s expression turned cold.
This was their welcome banquet and Gong You had probably brought his new girlfriend here to disgust them.
The rest of the Fu family didn\'t look too good either.
Amidst the indescribable awkwardness, the woman walked over and greeted him with a smile.
"Miss Fu, Ah Hao, we meet again."
Fu Xi\'s pupils constricted.
Xu Rou!
Why was it her!
Xu Rou saw the surprise in Fu Xi\'s eyes and felt a little proud and satisfied as she sat down beside Gong You.
"Why is Ah Xi looking at me like that? We\'re old acquaintances after all. I\'m your elder now. You should call me mom."
The table was instantly filled with a tense atmosphere.
Fu Xi slowly raised her glass and held it to Old Master. "Grandpa, I\'ve returned from the long journey. Let me toast you."
"Alright, Xi\'er. Grandfather will accompany you. Ah Hao will drink too." How could Old Master Fu not understand Fu Xi\'s meaning? He agreed with a faint smile.
The three of them drank while Father Fu cooked for Fu Xi and Gong Hao warmly.
No one bothered with Xu Rou. She was completely ignored.
Xu Rou was a little embarrassed as her face flushed a little. She glanced at Gong You, who also had a bad expression, and coughed lightly before continuing, her tone becoming a little stern.
"Fu Xi, I\'m your stepmother after all. Even if you don\'t respect me, you should at least respect your father-in-law. Hurry up and apologize to me."
