Chapter 21 I Will Shelter You (1/2)

It is Han Siqi’s voice!

It’s really him!

Fu Zhengzheng can’t restrain her ecstasy and responds, “Here we are!”

Immediately, she sees Han Siqi has broken into the room. He rushes in and picks up Fu Xing in Fu Zhengzheng’s arms and pulls Fu Zhengzheng outwards.

At this time, the living room is ablaze and smoky.

They rush downstairs to the flower beds in one go, gasping for air.

It is twenty minutes later that the fire truck finally extinguishes the fire.

When Fu Zhengzheng stands in the living room which has been burnt beyond recognition, the landlady has come angrily with an abacus to settle accounts with Fu Zhengzheng.

“Look what you did to my house! You have to compensate me for the loss!”

Fu Zhengzheng looks at her with the same helpless expression. After all, her mobile phone, wallet and bank cards have all been reduced to ashes. The mother and son will have no place to live in, much less compensate them for their loss.

Faced with the landlady’s yelling, she is at a loss, knowing that she has no relatives in B city.

“Mummy, are we homeless now? Are we going to sleep on the overpass?” Fu Xing shrugs his shoulders and looks at Fu Zhengzheng with disgust.

“Who said you were homeless? Daddy’s home is yours.” Hans Siqi, who has just returned from the phone call, hears Fu Xing’s “homeless” remarks when he enters the door.

“Daddy!” As soon as Fu Xing sees Han Siqi, he rushes toward Han Siqi to hold his thigh and rub.

“Daddy’s here, so you don’t have to sleep on the overpass.” Han Siqi picks up Fu Xing and wipes his little black face with a wet towel.

Before Fu Zhengzheng has time to ask Fu Xing where he has learnt the words “sleeping on the overpass”, the landlady’s eyes shine as soon as she hears “daddy”, and says, “Fu, since your husband has come, please ask him to settle the loss with me first. I am an old woman without any financial resources except the rent.”

“Madam, you needn’t to be worried at all. I have no wings and I can’t fly off. I will definitely compensate you. After I tidy up here, I will talk to you about compensation.” Fu Zhengzheng doesn’t want to talk nonsense with the landlady, so she sends the landlady away in a few words.

Seeing the mess in the room, Han Siqi frowns and asks, “What’s the matter?”

“Well, I was too foolish to misuse the fire, thus accidentally triggering a fire.” Fu Zhengzheng laughs at herself, trying to hide the truth.

When she first saw those people, her first reaction was that they were sent by Lin Jiao. But after careful consideration, she feels that it should not be Lin Jiao. Because Lin Jiao was very nervous when she recognized Han Siqi and misunderstood Fu Zhengzheng’s relationship with Han Siqi during the day. Besides, there is no big problem between Fu Zhengzheng and Lin Jiao, so Lin Jiao needn’t to kill Fu Zhengzheng.

But besides Lin Jiao, she can’t remember who she has offended. She has thought of calling the police, but is afraid that more information may be leaked out in answering the police’s questions. If her identity is exposed, it will be more troublesome. So she just answered in simple words and decided to wait for an opportunity to let Yang Tao investigate it.

But she does not know that Fu Xing has told Han Siqi about the attack when he was hiding in the wardrobe calling Han Siqi for help.

Han Siqi looks at her thoughtfully and doesn’t expose her. He looks down at Fu Xing, wiping the stain on his face which has just not been wiped clean, and looks at Fu Zhengzheng whose clothes have been torn. He takes off his coat and throws it to her. Then he picks Fu Xing up and goes out.

“Hey, hey, where are you taking Fu Xing?” Fu Zhengzheng catches the coat and catches up quickly.

“To my home.”

“No!” Fu Zhengzheng grabs Fu Xing’s arm.

But Fu Xing pouts his mouth and says, “Mommy, I don’t want to sleep in the street with you.”

“This is a good sensible boy.” Han Siqi pats Fu Xing’s face and goes downstairs with Fu Xing, ignoring Fu Zhengzheng.

“Hey, hey…” Fu Zhengzheng stamps her feet but fails to stop Han Siqi’s steps. She thinks for a while and follows them while holding the coat.

Along the way, Fu Xing begins to get excited. He now smiles at Fu Zhengzheng, now asks Han Siqi while leaning on the back of the chair. Fu Zhengzheng is so absorbed in her thoughts that she doesn’t respond to her son.

She is thinking that if Yang Tao knows that she and Fu Xing live in Han Siqi’s home, what he will think. But then she thinks that she may find something she wants to know in his house, about her task and about her personal affairs.

It seems that she is more eager to know about the latter... Fu Zhengzheng shakes her head and secretly blames herself for her negligence.

“Mommy, here we are! What a big house Daddy lives in!” Hearing Fu Xing’s cheerful voice again, Fu Zhengzheng quickly looks up and finds that the car has entered a villa.

Looking at the big house behind the tall camphor trees, Fu Zhengzheng hesitates for a while and follows Fu Xing out of the car.
