"If you ever get really angry in the future, Wanwan, you can hit me or yell at me, but you can't abandon me. Promise me, okay?"

Fu Chenyuan took another step forward, looking directly at Jiang Wanning, as if seeking her assurance.

He seems so insecure; he's the one initiating things in this relationship.

He should have had the upper hand, but Jiang Wanning felt that Fu Chenyuan was adopting a very humble attitude.

Is the person who falls in love first more subservient?

For some reason, this sentence suddenly popped into Jiang Wanning's mind.

Jiang Wanning couldn't bear to see Fu Chenyuan like this; he looked rather pitiful.

She must be crazy! How could she think of Fu Chenyuan like that?

Who is Fu Chenyuan? He has everything he could ever want, he's not pitiful at all.

Jiang Wanning shook the thoughts out of her mind and responded with extra seriousness, as if making a promise: "Okay. I won't sulk alone. I'll say what's on my mind directly."

Fu Chenyuan followed Jiang Wanning around the house; he already had an idea.

Are you planning to decorate it yourself, or hire a design company?

“I want to design and decorate it myself. Actually, I had already thought about having my own home while I was in college.”

"Hmm?" Fu Chenyuan looked eager to hear more.

"Actually, I had a plan for not looking for a job. I wanted to leave Nancheng and live in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang area. When I was in college, I sold three paintings, right? I was afraid that the Zhao family would find out and rob me, so I kept the 900,000 yuan in Hanhan's bank card."

Over the years, I've both longed for them to see me and felt pain. I wanted to escape. I clearly didn't apply to Nanjing University; I applied to universities outside of Nanjing. Lin Lin found out and I changed my application.

Jiang Wanning's voice trembled slightly as she spoke.

Fu Chenyuan reached out and grasped Jiang Wanning's hand, his hand giving her strength.

The two of them sat on the bay window of the bedroom balcony.

Jiang Wanning felt that Fu Chenyuan's hands were also trembling, even more so than hers.

Fu Chenyuan thought to himself, "That was so close, I almost never saw Jiang Wanning again."

Jiang Wanning continued, "I've thought of a place where no one knows me and they can't find me. I'll change my phone number and won't tell anyone except Hanhan. I won't contact the Zhao family either. I think it's better to sever all ties like this; it's too painful. I've even come up with ideas for my future home, and I've even drawn some pictures. When I get back, I'll find them on my computer and show them to you."

Later, she and Zhao Xuenan switched identities, and she returned to the Jiang family and met Fu Chenyuan.

She no longer needs to leave Nancheng.

Fu Chenyuan held Jiang Wanning tightly in his arms.

"I'm sorry," he said.

Why are you apologizing again?

Jiang Wanning gently patted Fu Chenyuan's back: "Why did you say sorry? The one who was wrong wasn't you, it was them. I've already let it go. Do you think they'd still stay in Nancheng if the Zhao family went bankrupt?"

Jiang Wanning's words reminded Fu Chenyuan.

"You don't want to see them again, right?"

"Um."

"I'll take care of it." These four words are incredibly reassuring.

At this point, the Zhao family was indeed in complete chaos.

In just a few days, the Zhao family was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Zhao Dehong was extremely anxious and his face was gloomy.

Even the usually domineering Zhao Zhongjie didn't dare to breathe too loudly.

Where is Xue Nan?

"She's not home," Lin Lin murmured.

She's not having an easy time either. Lin Xiang is currently detained in the police station, with witnesses and physical evidence. The trial will be held on a later date, and Lin Xiang probably won't be able to escape.

Grandma Lin went mad, cursing Lin Lin in every way, calling her useless and asking her to die.

If Lin Xiang really goes to prison, Lin Lin should jump into the river and drown herself; she doesn't deserve to live.

Lin Lin used to live a life of luxury, but now she doesn't even dare to leave the house. Those former wives are opportunistic and all want to kick her while she's down.

Nanjing University is now in the eye of the storm.

Many media outlets, Weibo users, and public account owners are talking about Zhao Xuenan's case, elevating her actions to the level of female college students as a whole and to the issue of Nanjing University's academic atmosphere.

Nanjing University President Xiao Min didn't seem to be affected. Graduation ceremonies for each college were held in staggered shifts, and the ceremony for Jiang Wanning's department was the day after tomorrow.

After Jiang Wanning and Fu Chenyuan returned, Fu Chenyuan went into his study to work.

Jiang Wanning went to take a shower.

She's been running around all day and didn't even get a nap at noon. If she doesn't sleep at noon, she'll break down at night. She's already completely broken down.

After taking a shower, Jiang Wanning lay down on the bed and fell into a sweet dream before she could even tell Fu Chenyuan that she was going to sleep.

At this moment, Fu Chenyuan received a call from Xiao Min.

"You brat, you've ruined our school. Nanjing University's centennial celebration is during the National Day holiday in October, and you have to bring your family to attend. Also, donating one building isn't enough, how about ten? And all the laboratory equipment needs to be upgraded. Hahaha."

Fu Chenyuan was speechless: "What an outrageous demand. Disrespectful to elders."

Xiao Min was not annoyed.

Fu Chenyuan entered Nanjing University as the top scorer in the provincial college entrance examination that year. At that time, he was quite curious. Fu Chenyuan's grades were good enough to get into the top universities in the country, but he ended up at Nanjing University.

Of course, Nanjing University is no less impressive; it's one of the top universities in China.

It's just that Fu Chenyuan had a better option at the time.

Xiao Min asked Fu Chenyuan that time, and Fu Chenyuan's answer remained fresh in his memory: "I love my home and don't want to leave Nancheng."

Is Fu Chenyuan a family-oriented person? I can't tell.

Seeing how he seems to want to stay home all the time, no one would believe his glorious deeds before he turned seventeen, once they became known.

Who would have thought that the top student at Nanjing University was once a street urchin?

"Haha, then I'll give you a 50% discount."

Fu Chenyuan said seriously, "Don't worry, I've applied for a verified Weibo account for Wanwan. Zhao Xuenan's influence can be overshadowed by Wanwan's influence."

It seems Fu Chenyuan has a plan.

Xiao Min trusted Fu Chenyuan's abilities.

"It's good that you know what's going on. You have no idea how many people have come up to me recently to say sarcastic things, and some have even come to curse me, but I've endured it all. No matter how society changes, I still believe that the school is the last pure land. The behavior of a few students should not be generalized to the whole group, otherwise it would be unfair to those self-respecting, self-reliant college students."

After finishing his call with Xiao Min, Fu Chenyuan put down his phone and saw that everyone in their group chat was tagging him like crazy.

Gu Lingyang: [Is Aunt Ye showing off her daughter-in-law? Otherwise, why would my mom call again today to urge me to get married, and even tell me to find someone who looks like my future sister-in-law?]

Lu Heng: [+1, my mom said the same thing when she came back, saying that Shen Yuan is already married, and when will this eternally single dog find a partner? It's not that I don't want to find a partner, I just don't want to break the hearts of so many girls. If I had a partner, wouldn't their hearts be shattered?]

Gu Lingyang: [yue~]

These two managed to turn a three-person group chat into a five-hundred-person group chat, with over 99,000 chat records.

Fu Chenyuan's temples throbbed, and he spoke in a death knell: "Are you guys really that bored?"
