The call was from Li Qinglu's mother. She had previously come to his door in a menacing manner, threatening him to stop trying to take advantage of her daughter, her words full of warning and displeasure.

Now, her tone had softened considerably, even carrying a hint of imperceptible pleading, which surprised Zhang Fan.

Filled with doubt, Zhang Fan drove slowly to a well-known Western restaurant in the city.

As I entered the restaurant, the first thing I saw under the soft lighting was the woman, sitting gracefully by the window.

What surprised Zhang Fan even more was that Li Qinglu was also sitting there, wearing a pure white dress with the hem swaying gently, like the freshest lily in summer.

Her long, soft hair cascaded over her shoulders, with a few stray strands gently brushing her cheeks, adding to her effortless beauty.

Her face was delicate and refined, with an unadorned natural beauty in her eyes and brows, as clear as a mountain spring, making her unforgettable at first glance.

Next to Li Qinglu sat an extremely beautiful woman dressed in an ancient dress.

She wore an exquisite ancient dress, the skirt of which was elaborate and gorgeous, as if she had stepped out of an ancient painting.

She possesses a gentle and elegant temperament, and every gesture exudes an indescribable classical charm.

Her appearance was breathtakingly beautiful, with exquisite features like a meticulously crafted work of art, every detail perfectly proportioned. Even compared to Li Qinglu, she was in no way inferior, and in some aspects, she was even better.

Upon closer inspection, Zhang Fan realized that this person was actually the daughter of Su Xing, the head of the public relations department of Wanfu Group.

My mother had tried to match them up before, but unfortunately, things are unpredictable. Now Wanfu Group has gone bankrupt, and all that glory and prosperity seems to have vanished like smoke.

Zhang Fan didn't know what had become of those people; in any case, it was all irrelevant to him now.

What was unexpected was that Li Qinglu's mother actually knew Su Xing, and the network of relationships involved was truly intricate.

"Brother Fan."

The two words evoke a tingling sensation.

The woman was taken aback: "You two know each other?"

After hearing this, Zhang Fan looked at the woman. It would have been better if she hadn't said anything; he could have just thought it was a coincidence. But now that she said it, something seemed off.

The woman in the ancient dress is Su Xing's daughter, and the woman certainly knows who she is, as she is the only son of the Wanfu Group.

The two people don't know each other?

Su Xingke is the public relations manager of Wanfu Group. As the only son of Wanfu Group, how could I not know him?

"Yes, Auntie. What brings you here today?"

Zhang Fan walked down naturally.

The reason this aunt looks down on me is entirely because Wanfu Group went bankrupt.

Would she have stopped Li Qinglu from dating her before?

They probably wish the two of them could be together.

"I apologized for that incident before. I'm too old to interfere with what you young people are doing. I'm just here to have a meal and resolve the conflict."

Is this supposed to be an apology?

He's now a down-on-his-luck young master, while she's a wealthy lady who can afford a beauty pill worth a million.

Apologize to yourself?

Zhang Fan put his arm around Li Qinglu, and Li Qinglu's face immediately turned red.

The woman's expression suddenly changed, but she endured it and came over.

"Today, I also need to introduce someone to you, Susu. Since you already know her, I won't say much more. She's been having a lot of trouble lately, and it's not very convenient for me to be here. I'd like to offer to pay for you to take care of her for a while, is that alright?"

The woman looked at Zhang Fan and made her request.

Please take care of me?

How to take care of it?

Intimate care?

"She's having some family problems and needs someone to take care of her. I'll give you 10,000 yuan a month to help me take care of her."

The woman did not go into too much detail about what the problem was.

"oh?"

Zhang Fan pretended not to understand.

"Take her back and take care of her. Protect her safety during this time. Some people may want to cause trouble for her, and it's not appropriate for me to get involved."

The woman kept looking at Zhang Fan, mainly because Zhang Fan was embracing Li Qinglu.

"Sure, go ahead and tell me."

Zhang Fan has a thuggish look to him.

"Thank you very much, Brother Fan."

The sound is very soothing.

"Alright, it's getting late. You should take Susu home first."

The woman spoke again, saying that the young man was still holding his precious daughter, and the daughter was blushing without saying anything. This wouldn't do.

"Alright then, let's go."

Zhang Fan hadn't even started eating yet, and they were already telling him to go back?

It is clear that the goal has been achieved.

As for the purpose, that's unknown for now.

"Mom, Zhang Fan hasn't eaten yet. You asked him to come over, and he left without even eating?"

Li Qinglu was unhappy.

"I need to have my stomach pumped. I ate something bad recently. I need a family member's signature. Is eating more important, or is having my stomach pumped?"

The woman glanced at her daughter. "A daughter grows up and leaves home; why is she siding with outsiders?"

I bought a beauty pill last time, but it turns out it was cow dung. I feel disgusted and am planning to have my stomach pumped.

Who would have thought that something worth millions would be cow dung? It's infuriating!

After hearing what her mother said, Li Qinglu stopped talking.

"Zhang Fan, I'll treat you to dinner alone next time."

Li Qinglu had to stand up; her mother's health was the most important thing.

Zhang Fan nodded and watched the two leave.

Zhang Fan looked at the woman beside him; she seemed to be about the same age as him.

The last time we met, she was dressed in a very classic style, but her parents brought her along.

And this time? Nothing seemed amiss either.

But such a beautiful, classically pretty girl, does she need my help to take care of her?

Who would believe there's no trap involved?

This pit is really deep.

It really puts men to the test.

Anyone would be tempted by a beauty like that, especially one who's right next to them.

Zhang Fan doesn't consider himself a good person, yet he's offering such a huge temptation?

"Brother Fan is in trouble."

Su Susu said shyly.

Zhang Fan didn't say anything.

The two walked out of the restaurant, and they paid for the meal themselves.

He drove Su Su back home.

We're staying in the shop now. The shop is so big, we can easily tidy it up and add another room.

"Goodnight, Brother Fan. Starting tomorrow, I'll take care of the food and cleaning at home."

Su Susu waved sweetly and went back to her room.

this?

What kind of scheme is this?

Zhang Fan really couldn't figure it out. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't understand what Su Susu was trying to do.

She didn't show any hostility. Zhang Fan took out a bottle and placed it in a conspicuous place. He guessed that she might be there because of the beauty pill. He would see if this classical beauty was trying to steal what was inside.

Zhang Fan had just finished getting ready when he saw Su Susu undressing in the room.

Zhang Fan quickly shifted his gaze. Could it be a honey trap?
