“Dad came to see us, saw that mom was sick, and then took her home.” Fu Yu shared half of Chu Rong’s egg custard and ate it very happily. When he heard Chu Rong’s question, he answered very enthusiastically: “Mom, do you miss dad too? When I saw dad, I was also shocked like mom!”

　　Fu Nian was not as naive as Fu Yu. He obviously noticed that Chu Rong’s expression changed when he heard the word “Dad”. She looked like… she was scared?

　　”Was it your father who brought us back?” Chu Rong confirmed again without giving up.

　　Fu Yu was a little unconfident after asking this question. “Yes, yes.” He turned his head to seek some approval. “Brother, you agree, right?”

　　Strictly speaking, it was the uncle who flew the plane who brought them back.

　　Fu Nian nodded, “Dad is out and will be back soon.”

　　”…” Chu Rong put down the spoon tremblingly, “Why did he come back so suddenly?”

　　It’s terrible. Last time Fu Ruhui said he would come back early, but there was no news for a long time. Chu Rong thought he was too busy and wouldn’t come back so soon.

　　Who knew that he would come back so unexpectedly when she was not conscious?

　　In fact, Chu Rong and the two kids got along pretty well during this period. They were not very harmonious, but at least they were 80% harmonious. She was quite confident that she would not be “reported” to Fu Ruhui by the little dumplings. But the original owner’s deeds were solid evidence. The little dumplings did not care about it. If Fu Ruhui cared about it, wouldn’t he find out easily?

　　Chu Rong was like a poor student who only studied for one night for the final exam. On the one hand, she was hoping that all the questions on the test paper were ones she had just read before, but on the other hand, she was nervous because she had no idea what was going on.

　　After falling into an anxious mood, Chu Rong’s attention was completely scattered. The voices of Fu Nian and Fu Yu talking to her floated lightly beside her ears and could not enter her mind at all.

　　Because her brain is no longer enough.

　　Chu Rong is now pondering Fu Ruhui’s thoughts. Fu Ruhui is so cautious, will he notice some details that she herself has not noticed? Will he investigate based on his suspicions? Will he find Zeng Qian? Will he believe Zeng Qian? Will she be thrown into a mental hospital by Fu Ruhui as written in the original book?

　　She even wondered if she should file for divorce before Fu Ruhui found out and run away with the five million she had earned? If she took the initiative, Fu Ruhui would have no chance to react, and he would not be able to find anyone to settle the score.

　　But after she ran away, didn’t she violate the contract with the program team? At that time, five million was not enough for her to compensate.

　　Besides, it shouldn’t be too difficult for Fu Ruhui to find someone, since she has no experience in escaping.

　　Chu Rong covered her face and sighed. If she had known earlier, she would have not taken that crappy contract. After all, she had some skills, so she could still find a job with a monthly salary of seven or eight thousand!

　　People really can’t take shortcuts!

　　”Mom, what’s wrong with you?” Fu Yu looked at Chu Rong in confusion, “Is the food not tasty?”

　　Sister Yun in the kitchen shuddered and hurried out to ask, “Madam, what’s not to your liking?”

　　Chu Rong opened her hands that were covering her face, looking very sad: “No, I ate too much and couldn’t burp. I feel a little uncomfortable because of the fullness.”

　　Fu Nian silently glanced at Chu Rong who had only drunk half a bowl of porridge, and did not expose her, “Then how about watching TV for a while to digest it?”

　　Chu Rong nodded weakly, “Yeah.”

　　Now I am trapped in a jar and there is nothing I can do except wait for Fu Ruhui’s judgment.

　　Fu Nian adjusted a movie genre that Chu Rong liked. His main purpose was to help her forget the unhappy things in her mind and divert her attention.

　　The movie started and Chu Rong sat on the sofa with her legs crossed. Fu Nian took out two of the smallest bags of potato chips, handed one to Fu Yu and kept one for himself.

　　Chu Rong watched eagerly as Fu Nian opened his own potato chips and began to crunch them as if nothing had happened. She complained, “Isn’t there any share for me?” She was the one who bought the potato chips, and now she wasn’t given any. What would happen in the future?

　　”You are sick, you can’t eat snacks.” Fu Nian said like coaxing a child, “After you recover from your illness, there is nothing you can’t eat.”

　　Chu Rong: “…”

　　She really imitated Ah Chou Nian Nian, and imitated the tone of her voice when she made excuses for not sharing snacks with the children perfectly.

　　Chu Rong seriously suspected that Fu Nian was eating potato chips in front of her on purpose because he was enjoying it so much. Normally, she had never seen him being very keen on snacks.

　　Seeing that his brother didn’t give any to his mother, Fu Yu stupidly raised his own bag and said, “Mom, I’ll give you mine.”

　　Chu Rong looked at Fu Nian’s face and took a small piece, “Thank you, Xiaoyu, this much is enough for me.”

　　She kissed Fu Yu’s cheek, and her heavy and complicated mood felt much lighter.

　　After all, the two most critical witnesses are now on her side. Fu Nian and Fu Yu both like her very much. Fu Ruhui can’t just convict her directly.

　　Chu Rong imagined in her mind that Fu Ruhui was shooting at her with a Gatling gun. She raised the strongest shield of the Niannian Xiaoyu brand, which made her immune to all damage. Fu Ruhui could only put down his gun with a confused look on his face. The scene was so funny that Chu Rong successfully made herself laugh.

　　She let out a low laugh, causing Fu Nian to look at her sideways.

　　”Hey? The Grudge?” Chu Rong just noticed what was playing on TV. She asked in surprise, “When did you start watching horror movies, Nian Nian?”

　　Usually, I watch TV with Fu Nian, all of which are documentaries with a popular science nature. To be honest, they are not boring, but Chu Rong will feel a little sleepy after watching for a long time.

Horror movies are different. They are Chu Rong’s favorite. She rarely watches dramas, or is not very interested in movies and TV. Horror movies are an exception. When she was in school, she had a friend who was afraid of horror movies. She was a novice and playful. She always dragged Chu Rong to watch horror movies together. Unexpectedly, Chu Rong liked it after watching it. I don’t know if she liked the feeling of watching horror movies, or the atmosphere of watching horror movies with a novice friend.

　　Unfortunately, this hobby was not revealed to Fu Nian and Fu Yu for long. Chu Rong more or less understood something from the last trip to the haunted house. It is not advisable to show children these scary things too early, as they may leave a trauma in their childhood.

　　So Chu Rong was a little surprised that Fu Nian took the initiative to bring up such a heavyweight horror film. Fu Nian can read, so the label of this film is “horror”, right?

　　”Just a random adjustment.” Fu Nian stopped eating potato chips, “It looks good.”

　　”Oh.” Chu Rong smiled meaningfully, “Thank you, it’s really good. I like this movie very much.”

　　She leaned back on the sofa calmly, her relaxed posture not like she was watching a horror movie but rather a soap opera.

　　Fu Yu was munching on potato chips. He didn’t really understand what was on TV. He just leaned into Chu Rong’s arms out of habit, “Mom, hug me.”

　　Chu Rong also hugged Fu Yu habitually, “Are you afraid, Xiaoyu?”

　　Fu Yu shook his head and said, “I’m not afraid.” He couldn’t understand what he read or what he heard, and he didn’t even know how to read.

　　Fu Nian could vaguely understand something, but he couldn’t understand Japanese, so he couldn’t read the subtitles that fast. He could only make out the subtitles with difficulty, looking up and down, feeling very annoyed. He bit his lip, no longer paying attention to the subtitles, and just looked straight at the 98-inch screen with a determined heart and a raised head.

　　On the screen, the black face and blood-red eyes were looking directly at the camera. The enlarged eyes seemed to be seeing the person outside the screen through the TV.

　　”!”

　　Fu Nian’s face turned green.

　　Fu Nian’s face froze.

　　Fu Nian’s face turned pale.

　　The sudden impact made Fu Nian almost lose his voice, or in fact, he was holding back a scream. He secretly glanced at Chu Rong who was fascinated and Fu Yu who only had eyes for potato chips, and he began to doubt his courage.

　　Tentatively, Fu Nian glanced at the big screen again.

　　Alas.

　　Fu Nian chose to close his eyes and leaned towards Chu Rong. He felt that leaning against each other was not enough, so he pulled Chu Rong’s arm and put it on his shoulder. Chu Rong took Fu Nian into his arms and ate Fu Nian’s potato chips blatantly: “Don’t worry, these are all beautiful sisters playing. Think about it, they will eat potato chips and watch TV like us after the show. Maybe they will laugh because of the role they played. Isn’t it much better?”

　　Fu Nian: “…” Eating potato chips and watching TV like them… Oh no, the sense of substitution is too strong, he feels that he is not comforted.

　　Fortunately, he had not learned Japanese yet, so he could not understand what the people in the movie were saying. If it was a Chinese or English movie, it would be useless even if Fu Nian buried his face in Chu Rong’s arms.

　　Phew, it’s a good thing I didn’t understand.

　　Fu Nian let out a breath calmly.

　　”Classics are classics.” Chu Rong kneaded the two soft cheeks close to her while nibbling potato chips and immersed in the plot. “I never get tired of watching it. It’s so close to life, in the refrigerator, on the TV, everywhere. It’s really worthy of being Kaya…”

　　Fu Nian silently covered his ears.

　　”What are you looking at?”

　　Chu Rong was so excited that he answered without thinking, “Kayako, I wonder who is more powerful, Kayako or Sadako.”

　　After saying this, Chu Rong was the first to realize something was wrong.

　　Um?

　　She looked down at Fu Yu, who had a look of longing on his face, a look that said “I want to eat coconut”, and Fu Nian, who had his eyes closed and his ears blocked.

　　No matter how you think about it, that mature and deep voice just now could not be made by Fu Nian or Fu Yu!

　　Suddenly, Chu Rong felt as if she had a thorn in her back.

　　She turned her head slowly and mechanically, and saw a man standing behind the sofa, whose figure was as thin as a bamboo and whose face was as beautiful as jade. He had a very faint smile on his face, which was due to his personal cultivation. He smiled at everyone and was distant and polite.

　　”You,” Chu Rong clearly felt himself swallowing slowly, “Fu Ruhui?”

　　It is true that they have video chatted many times, but the feeling of having a real person in front of you and seeing him/her on the screen is so different. Chu Rong could hardly describe how she felt when she saw Fu Ruhui.

　　She thought she should be afraid, nervous, and guilty. In short, no matter how stunningly handsome Fu Ruhui was, she would probably just be frightened and panic-stricken, and could only think about how Fu Ruhui would deal with her in the future.

　　But it was not like what she thought. For a moment, Chu Rong’s mind was blank.

　　She should not have no feelings towards Fu Ruhui. Fu Ruhui is a key figure in the fate of “Chu Rong”. Now she is Chu Rong, and Fu Ruhui’s position in her heart is no different from that of Fu Nian and Fu Yu.

　　But she just didn’t.

　　Chu Rong just stared into Fu Ruhui’s dark eyes, dazed and absent-minded.

　　Something was clamoring in her mind, and all the turbulent emotions seemed to be suppressed by a thick, blank cover. She might want to say something, but she couldn’t say anything.

　　Seeing her dazed look, Fu Ruhui’s eyebrows softened a little, “Don’t you recognize me?”

　　Chu Rong hurriedly closed her eyes and silently repeated three times, “This is the male lead and I am the female supporting role.” After thinking about several scenes in the original novel more than ten times, Chu Rong’s broken brain finally started to work.

　　”No, no, no, Mr. Fu, have you eaten?” Whenever I don’t know what to say, I use the most clichéd way of greeting.

　　Chu Rong turned away and didn’t look at Fu Ruhui’s eyes. The male protagonist’s eyes were poisonous. Looking at them for a long time would make your heart uncomfortable. I don’t know if Nian Nian, who completely inherited the male protagonist’s eyes, will also have this special ability in the future.

　　She didn’t look at him, as if she was avoiding something. Fu Ruhui’s eyes darkened, “No. Have you eaten?”

“Yeah, I just ate not long ago.” Chu Rong nodded randomly. The posture of turning her head to talk was really tiring. Mr. Fu, could you please be kind and stop standing behind the sofa?

　　She turned her head back, as it would be a bit impolite to talk to Fu Ruhui with her back to him; if she didn’t turn her head back, it would be awkward and her neck would be sore.

　　”I’ll ask Sister Yun to heat up the porridge for you. Please sit for a while.” Fu Ruhui happened to have not eaten yet, so she could take this opportunity to escape.

　　”Need not.”

　　Fu Ruhui seemed to have heard Chu Rong’s thoughts. He walked around the sofa and sat down on the sofa next to her. “I’m not hungry.”

　　”oh.”

　　Chu Rong began to clasp her hands calmly.

　　”What are you watching?” Fu Ruhui glanced at the big screen that was still playing, hmm, a picture with smoky makeup.

　　After just one glance, he quickly retracted his gaze and looked at Fu Nian and Fu Yu who were curled up on the sofa. Apart from calling him just now, the two little guys had not shown any enthusiasm since then.

　　It seems that Chu Rong, who accompanies them day and night, is more popular.

　　When they first entered the room, Fu Ruhui stood at the door and looked at the three of them for a long time, but no one noticed him except Sister Yun. Fu Ruhui was still wondering what he was looking at that could attract the attention of three people at the same time.

　　From the sound of the voice, it seemed like a Japanese film or TV show. He slowly approached and heard Chu Rong talking nonstop.

　　Talking about her favorite things, Chu Rong looked very happy, but the two children…

　　In his previous life, after he came back, he did not call the police immediately. He chose to spend three days to investigate the truth. In fact, it took less than three days. The evidence was all there, and Fu Nian and Fu Yu’s stress reaction to Chu Rong could be seen – Fu Nian had a physiological nausea towards Chu Rong, and Fu Yu would turn pale and tremble as soon as he heard Chu Rong’s name.

　　Fu Ruhui almost went to the hospital to do a DNA test to see if Chu Rong was still Chu Rong.

　　But based on his understanding of Chu Rong, he could tell at a glance that the person in front of him was still Chu Rong.

　　It’s just that apart from the appearance, everything else has become unfamiliar.

　　And now, Fu Ruhui looked at them silently for a long time. He could not see any rift between Fu Nian, Fu Yu and Chu Rong at all. They were even closer than what he saw in the video.

　　It is impossible for the photos to be reborn with him. He asked someone to authenticate the photos sent by the mysterious email sender, and there were no signs of synthesis or modification.

　　Then it can only be true.

　　Since the photo is real, then what is going on in front of us?

　　Fu Ruhui felt as if he was pulled into a whirlpool, where the true and false lies and realities in the whirlpool made him lose his direction.

　　There are many lies in the business world, but Fu Ruhui will not be deceived. They are just a group of hypocritical and cunning foxes trying to snatch benefits from him. Fu Ruhui can remain completely sober.

　　How do you distinguish the falsehood from the truth when it comes to your wife and son?

　　”A movie.” Chu Rong replied, “Has Mr. Fu seen it?”

　　Fu Ruhui took a glance and said, “Yeah. I’ve seen it.”

　　Chu Rong was a little surprised. He had seen it? Fu Ruhui also watched horror movies? What kind of dream connection was this?

　　”I watched it a few times with my friends when I was in high school,” Fu Ruhui continued.

Chu Rong was pleasantly surprised and said, “What a coincidence! I also watched it several times when I was in high school. At that time, I had a very timid friend who was afraid to watch it but insisted on watching it. He failed repeatedly but became more and more courageous. He watched it several times, and I watched it several times with him.”
