"What are you saying, Brother Xiao? Are you drunk?"

"I didn't drink. We weren't a good match to begin with, and I don't want to waste my time or yours."

"Are you angry about me leaving? I'll spend time with you again when I get back in a few days, okay? I have something to do, so I'll hang up now."

Xingchu thought he was just throwing a tantrum, so she gave him a few perfunctory replies and tried to hang up.

"Xingchu, I've already moved out. Actually, it's not really a separation, because we were never really together in the first place, so..."

When Xingchu heard Fu Xiao say that he had moved out, she realized that he was serious, so she hurriedly interrupted him, "Are you angry that I'm not really with you? If you want, I can give it to you."

In just one short sentence, her tone kept changing, from disdain to reluctance, and finally to grievance and resentment.

Fu Xiao knew she had misunderstood. He had never had those kinds of feelings for her before, and he certainly wouldn't now.

Even if there was something, it was for the woman upstairs. His gaze slowly shifted to the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor.

At that moment, Xu Nuo was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window looking at him. Only when his gaze swept over her did she immediately look away.

It turns out he didn't come up because he was making a phone call. Who could it be?

Is she his girlfriend?

Gazing at the rockery and flowing water in the garden, she longed for a life as free and unrestrained as the fish in the pond.

As for Fu Xiao, his life is completely different from what he wanted; perhaps even fate didn't want them to be together.

By this time, Beidou had already finished its talks with those forces.

"Come on, housekeeper, what are you looking at here?" He followed her gaze.

Before she could even see anything, Xu Nuo dragged her towards the door, saying, "There's nothing to see, it's time to go back."

The black jeep slowly disappeared from Fu Xiao's sight, and the guilt and reluctance in his eyes gradually deepened.

In the past, he would never have believed that one could fall in love with someone after meeting them only once or twice, but now he does.

The feeling of regret for not having met her sooner grew stronger in his heart. He didn't know when he would see her again after this.

After Beidou walked for a while, Fu Xu also came down. He stared at Fu Xiao curiously and circled around him again and again.

"Boss, why do I feel like you've changed, but I can't quite put my finger on it?"

Have you found a place to live?

"Alright, where are we going back to?" He had always stayed by Fu Xiao's side, so no matter where Fu Xiao moved, he would move there too.

"Let's go back to the new house."

Country A.

In an ordinary guesthouse.

Xingchu hung up the phone with a deep expression. Her cheeks were flushed and even a little hot, showing how angry and dissatisfied she was.

What's gotten into Fu Xiao all of a sudden? How could he say such heartless things?

She's willing to give him her body, shouldn't he be overjoyed?

But what did he say? He said, "I always thought I was misunderstanding. Actually, I don't have the kind of feelings that lovers have for you. I hope you can let go of your obsession and find someone who truly loves you."

Obsession?

After liking someone for so long, can you really let go of it all with just a saying that it was an obsession?

Fu Xiao, you can do it, but I can't.

I am determined to have Ji Yan. If I cannot have him, then I will not allow anyone else to have him. That is my obsession with him.

......

Fuyi Group, President's Office.

Ji Fuying sat on the sofa, her eyes gradually showing increasing weariness and helplessness. Two days had passed, and Xu Nuo still hadn't sent any news.

This is enough to prove how deeply entrenched Ji Lan's power is, that even the Shenxing Alliance couldn't find her whereabouts.

It seems she'll have to go by herself.

The Ji Lan described by her father and mother was the kind of person who would stop at nothing to achieve her goals.

She disliked the feeling that her existence threatened the entire Lu family.

Just as she was thinking of a solution, her phone rang. It was her father calling.

His voice was very urgent, "Sui Sui, there was an accident at the racetrack today, your second brother is in trouble."

"What?" She grabbed her coat and car keys and ran to the hospital. "Dad, calm Mom down first, I'll be there right away."

Outside the operating room at the hospital.

Xia Changhuan's face was pale, her hands were trembling, and she kept muttering, "Xiao Ang will be alright, he will definitely be alright."

Lu Qing pulled her to a seat. "Chang Huan, don't worry, he will come out safely. Sit down and wait patiently."

"Xiao Ang." She gazed intently at the operating room door, tears falling onto the gleaming floor. "I'm willing to give my life for his safety."

Lu Qing knew that no amount of comforting would help until Lu Ang was out safely, so he could only hold Xia Changhuan tightly.

How is Lu Ang?

"How is Second Brother?"

Lu Ci and Ji Fuying arrived at the hospital almost at the same time, both with the same anxiety and worry on their faces.

Lu Qing shook his head as he looked at the closed operating room. "They're still inside undergoing emergency treatment; we don't know the outcome yet."

Ji Fuying sat down next to Xia Changhuan, who was crying incessantly. "Mom, don't worry, Second Brother will be alright."

"Sui Sui, I've only just found you. If something happens to your second brother, how am I supposed to go on living? Why is God so cruel to me?"

She even wondered if she was just too unlucky, which was why she kept bringing trouble to her children.

Her wish is simple: for her children and grandchildren to be by her side. Is that too much to ask?

"No, Second Brother will definitely come out safely, you can believe me." Just as Ji Fuying finished speaking, Lu Ci's phone rang.

He walked to the side to answer the phone, and only came back two minutes later, his face visibly grim. "Someone tampered with Lu Ang's car. It wasn't an accident, it was deliberate."

All four of them thought of Ji Lan at the same time. Who else would do this besides her?

Ji Fuying was taken aback, and her tone suddenly turned cold, "She wants to kill Second Brother?"

For Ji Lan, the people she should have targeted were herself and Lu Ci, so why did she choose her second brother, who had the least presence in the world?

No, perhaps her real purpose isn't her second brother, father, mother, eldest brother, or herself, who are all here. So her purpose is... to forget.

"No." She frantically pulled out her phone, searching for a long time before finally finding the home landline number. As soon as the housekeeper answered, she asked loudly, "Uncle Lu, where's Bu Yi? Is Bu Yi home?"

"The young lady and Xiao He are playing in the garden."

"Call Buyi over, I need to talk to her." Even hearing that Buyi was in the garden, she couldn't calm down.

Unless she hears Bu Yi's voice herself.

About two minutes later, the faint sound of the maid searching for Buyi could be heard on the phone.

Ji Fuying's legs went weak instantly, and she collapsed helplessly onto the cold ground.
