Their eyes met.

She saw the worry in her older brother's eyes. When he saw that she was safe and sound, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and his tense emotions were soothed. When he looked at Ye Xuan, his expression became even colder.

Tang Yaoyao understood.

Mom wanted to thoroughly humiliate Ye Xuan and make her understand how unworthy she was of her older brother.

Qiao Yanzhi pursed her lips and said, "Chen'er."

Fu Xiuchen nodded slightly.

Upon hearing Qiao Yanzhi's voice, Ye Xuan was completely stunned...

How is that possible?

Isn't he abroad?

Why is he back...?

No!

She wants to get up.

She couldn't let Brother Chen see her in such a disheveled state.

The moment she moved, Sister-in-law Li discovered her motives and stepped directly on her face, forcing her to press the other half of her face to the ground, pinning it down so she couldn't move at all.

Tears of humiliation streamed down her face: "Let me go, let me go..."

Li Bie Sao remained unmoved. She only obeyed Qiao Yanzhi. In the entire Fu family, no one but her could order her to do anything else.

Fu Xiuchen walked in from the door, went straight to his sister's side, sat down next to her, held her hand, checked her over, and only then was he truly at ease.

Ye Xuan had a feeling that he was about to look over, and she wished she could find a hole to crawl into so that he wouldn't see her like this.

Qiao Yanzhi sat back down on the sofa, crossed her legs, and her voice was no longer gentle at all, but icy cold: "Chen'er, this matter started because of you. I have told you everything that happened on the phone. You can handle it yourself from now on."

"Um."

Fu Xiuchen responded with a sound of agreement, and then stood up.

Looking down at Ye Xuan on the ground, his dark eyes held a chilling intent that could destroy the world, no less than Qiao Yanzhi's. He stared at her for a while, seemingly considering how to punish her.

After a long pause, he finally said, "I have already withdrawn the police report."

Qiao Yanzhi did not speak.

Su Mei didn't quite understand what this meant...

Does this mean we won't punish Ye Xuan?

Could it be that Fu Xiuchen still feels a little pity for her?

Tang Yaoyao remained calm, ate half a piece of apple, wiped her hands, and looked quite relaxed.

Hearing this, Ye Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, her breathing becoming lighter. She tried to move her head, but her sister-in-law stepped on it hard, so she could only turn her head to see a glimpse of his sleeve. Tears streamed down her face as she said, feeling extremely wronged: "Brother Chen... I knew you would save me."

Fu Xiuchen then said, "Let her go first."

This was no small matter. Sister-in-law Li looked at Qiao Yanzhi, who nodded, and only then did she withdraw her foot.

Ye Xuan quickly sat up. She wanted to stand up and get closer to him, but the pain in her lower back prevented her from standing, so she could only sit on the ground.

She hastily tidied her disheveled clothes and hair, and after a moment of fussing, her eyes welled with tears: "Brother Chen..."

Fu Xiuchen didn't even raise an eyebrow, his eyes as cold as frost, his voice as sharp as autumn wind: "I heard you like me?"

She nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Yes, Brother Chen, I like you. I've liked you since I was little. Liking you is no longer enough to prove my true feelings. I love you, I love you so much. I will marry no one but you in this lifetime."

His voice grew calmer: "So, your reason for doing all this is that you love me?"

"I did this because I love you so much."

Then, she glared at Tang Yaoyao and said anxiously, "She's not a good person. The day Aunt Qiao went back, she spent the night with Master Xiao. She cheated on you. I'm helping you clean up the stain."
