"Hello, Miss Jiang. I am Fu Yanxi's sister, Fu Mingxuan. We are friends in need on this trip."

Looking at Fu Mingxuan's conversation and demeanor, you can understand why she can occupy an important position in the battle for the Fu family's inheritance.

Especially having just experienced such a big storm, Fu Mingxuan recovered quite quickly. She looked full of energy and there was no trace of the embarrassment of the previous two days.

Jiang Ruochu smiled and said politely, "I am still scared when I think about what happened that night. I am not as good as Miss Fu who has recovered well. I still need to learn from you how to remain calm in the face of adversity."

Fu Yanxi's sister did not comment, because she felt that Jiang Ruchu did not look afraid at all.

"It's like this. My father knows that you and I have some connection, so he wants to invite you back to visit. I wonder if you are free?"

"We have prepared a welcoming banquet and invited a master to perform a ritual. After experiencing something like this, it is better to get rid of the bad luck."

Jiang Ruochu readily agreed: "Okay, I don't have any relatives or friends here in Victoria Harbor, I am very grateful to be invited by the Fu family."

As Jiang Ruochu spoke, his eyes fell on a dusty woman not far away.

The other person looked at her anxiously with anxious eyes.

However, no matter how anxious she was, the other party did not rush over desperately, which showed that the woman did not want to collide with Fu Mingxuan.

Jiang Ruochu responded with ease: "But it's my first visit, so I can't go empty-handed. Plus, I've been in the hospital for two days, and I'm going to get moldy. Why don't you go back first, Miss Fu? I'll prepare a gift, then go back to the hotel to wash up, and then come visit again."

Fu Mingxuan did not doubt him: "Then I will go back first. The auspicious time set by the master is 3:15 in the afternoon. Miss Jiang, please do not miss this time. I will ask the driver to pick you up at Miss Jiang's hotel."

After the two agreed on the time and place, Fu Mingxuan turned and left.

Sure enough, as soon as the woman saw Fu Mingxuan turn around, she immediately hid behind a pillar.

Jiang Ruochu waited for Fu Mingxuan to leave, then took the initiative to walk over and greet the woman.

"Auntie, you are Fu Yanxi's mother, right?"

The woman was slightly startled when she heard this, and asked expectantly, "How do you know? Did Xiaoxi show you my photo?"

Jiang Ruochu shook her head. Seeing the woman's disappointed expression, she felt sorry for her and added, "But he mentioned you to me. He said you are an elegant and intellectual woman."

The woman's face showed a little more relief when she heard this. She scratched the hair beside her ears and murmured to herself, "I didn't expect that he would describe me to you like this."

Jiang Ruochu continued to explain: "Besides, the way you looked at me was full of urgency, but you were unwilling to meet Fu Mingxuan, which means you don't want to deal with people from the Fu family."

Fu Yanxi's mother is Fan Lingfeng, a person with strong ideas and opinions. After marriage, she was not willing to be a full-time wealthy wife at home, and wanted to pursue her own photography career. However, the Fu family obviously did not need a career-oriented woman. They needed a virtuous wife who could help manage family affairs.

The two sides could not reach an agreement, and Fan Lingfeng decisively chose to divorce. Because the photographer had to travel a lot, she did not have enough time to take care of her son. After weighing the pros and cons, she left her son to the Fu family and only came back to visit her son from time to time.

Since Fan Lingfeng's divorce, she has been living abroad, and all her contacts with the Fu family are for her son.

After her son went missing and the search for him was fruitless, she had less and less contact with the Fu family.

The relationship between Fu Yanxi and her was not close, but there was no deep hatred either. Every time Fan Lingfeng returned to China, the two of them could eat, drink tea and go shopping together in peace. Sometimes Fu Yanxi would even go to support his mother's photography exhibition.

But if you say that the two of them would contact each other frequently, ask about each other's well-being, and care about each other's recent movements, that's not the case. To be frank, Fu Yanxi may spend more time playing with his friends than with his mother.

Fan Lingfeng is a person who loves freedom and career more than her son and husband, but she is also the person who is truly sad for Fu Yanxi after he disappears, and who gives everything to find him.

"I actually heard that you are Xiaoxi's girlfriend, and you are here alone and injured in the hospital, so I wanted to come and see you. Didn't your parents come to take care of you?"

"Thank you for your concern, Auntie. It's me who didn't let them come over. I can do it myself."

"Auntie, if you have nothing else to do, I'm going to get ready and go to the Fu family."

Upon hearing this, Fan Lingfeng's expression became serious and she asked worriedly, "Are they going to embarrass you?"

"That's not the case. They invited me to be their guest."

"I'd love to receive their invitation." Jiang Ruochu stared at Fan Lingfeng and said word by word, "Actually, I'm not Fu Yanxi's girlfriend. I'm just his friend. I got some clues, and I came here to investigate his disappearance."

"His disappearance should be related to the Fu family."

When Fan Lingfeng heard this, his whole body trembled and he looked at Jiang Ruchu in disbelief.

"Is he... is he actually in danger?"

Jiang Ruochu didn't answer, but her silence was the answer.

Fan Lingfeng smiled bitterly: "I should have taken him away at the beginning. I am not a good mother."

Jiang Ruochu comforted him: "But you are a very good photographer."

"That's what he told me."

“So you don’t need to be too hard on yourself.”

When Fan Lingfeng heard how her son had praised her, she was overwhelmed with emotions. She covered her face and burst into tears.

Jiang Ruochu had been observing Fan Lingfeng's reaction, and now it seemed that she could be ruled out.

This is the only thing worth being happy about these days.

Otherwise, it was not only his friends who did it, but also his relatives who did it. Fu Yanxi was such a miserable kid.
