His question made Shen Huai'an suspicious. He replied casually, "You know I'm always like this, but why are you suddenly asking about Fang Ze today?"

Lin Wanxing rarely asked Shen Huai'an such a question, so Shen Huai'an was able to sense Lin Wanxing's unusual behavior.

Someone must have been too talkative in front of Xingxing, which is why he asked him the question, but Shen Huai'an couldn't guess who that person was.

"I... um... I saw that people online were talking about him, so I wanted to ask you, Second Brother." Lin Wanxing quickly made up an excuse to get away with it. His shifty eyes clearly showed that he was lying, but Shen Huai'an didn't want to dwell on it and ask any further.

He knew Xingxing well; if he pressed her for the truth, she definitely wouldn't tell him. But he was usually quite discreet. So who was it that had been so talkative in front of Xingxing?

“Fang Ze deserved it, Second Brother, you shouldn’t sympathize with him,” Lin Wanxing reminded him, afraid that he would always be so soft-hearted.

Shen Huai'an never showed the slightest leniency towards those who offended him. His greatest strength was his vengefulness; he remembered clearly those who had wronged him. Sympathy was simply a joke to him.

He only regretted that he hadn't been ruthless enough and hadn't taken both of Fang Ze's hands off.

The videos of him and Jin Nana that were leaked online were also deliberately leaked by him. The Chen family's group is now in a precarious state, and the Fang family is blaming the Chen family for everything that happened to Fang Ze.

They believed that all the troubles Fang Ze had encountered were caused by Chen Xueping and Chen Shuhua, and that they were indirectly responsible for Fang Ze's misfortune. Fang Jiwei naturally held Chen Shuhua accountable for this.

The two families went from being in-laws to being enemies in just half a month.

The Fang and Chen families fought each other, while Shen Huai'an sat on the sidelines watching the show. Now it's not like he used to actively try to win over the Fang family. The tables have turned, and Shen Taimin's status in the group has plummeted. He still owes a mountain of debt.

The Fang family actively sought to cooperate with Shen Huai'an. They were all gathered together for mutual benefit, so there was no sentiment involved. Now that Shen Taimin's side was failing, they naturally wanted to curry favor with Shen Huai'an.

“My older brother lost a lot of money on this project in the new district, so the Fang family has withdrawn in time. My older brother has to bear all these debts alone. Not long ago, my older brother got a Greenland project. He has never been good at business, so he has been inviting me and Xie Xiaodong to help him see if the new project is worth investing in.”

Lin Wanxing frowned as she listened. It was obvious that Shen Taimin had set a trap for her second brother. How could someone as wicked as Shen Taimin genuinely invite her second brother? Moreover, with his inexplicable self-confidence and refusal to listen to advice, why would they invite her second brother to give him guidance?

This must be a trap he set, just waiting for my second brother to go.

"Don't go, don't go. He's not a good person. He's so bad. He's always trying to harm you. Second brother, you can't go."

Shen Huai'an smiled and shook his head, "It's alright. I believe that at this point, he shouldn't do those things anymore. Besides, I genuinely want to help him."

“I’ve been busy lately, and I have a lot of things to do next week, so I was thinking of discussing with Xiaodong about going to see him the day after tomorrow, so that I can make sure my schedule is in order.”

Lin Wanxing began to worry about her second brother. Shen Taimin was a wicked man, and her second brother was too soft-hearted. He had treated her second brother so badly before and even squeezed him out of the group. Now he actually had the nerve to ask her second brother for help.

That's utterly shameless! How can someone be so brazen?

Lin Wanxing knew that Shen Taimin had ill intentions, so how could Shen Huai'an not know?

We should pretend we don't know anything to see what Shim Tae-min is really thinking.

"I'll go the day after tomorrow, and Xie Xiaodong will come with me. Of course, we'll only be going to talk about work. This whole thing was originally Xie Xiaodong's idea."

"It's rare for Xiao Dong to speak up for my older brother. If I don't go, it would be inappropriate. My own brother and friends are all urging me to go. I really don't know how to refuse them."

Lin Wanxing was worried that Shen Taimin must have made all the preparations for her second brother to go.

But he couldn't dissuade his second brother at all. He smiled and said, "Do you want me to go with you?"

Shen Huai'an thought about it. Xingxing and Xie Xiaodong didn't get along, and besides, he couldn't bring Xingxing along anyway. There were many things he couldn't do with Xingxing by his side.

"Xingxing, you can stay at home. It's just a project inspection, nothing will happen, don't worry."

Even though he said that, Lin Wanxing was still worried.

"Second brother, you have to be careful. Remember to keep Zheng Hu by your side. Shen Taimin is so bad. If he tries to harm you, he won't succeed if Zheng Hu is with you."

His reminder made Shen Huai'an laugh non-stop: "You still worry about me like this, Xingxing, you're so good to me."

"So, can you forgive me?"

Lin Wanxing was stunned when this was brought up at this moment.

"Second brother, I really want to forgive you, but I've always wanted to ask you, do you really believe me?"

"I didn't hurt Xie Xiaodong's hand on purpose."

Shen Huai'an was very surprised. It seemed that Xingxing would really not be able to forgive herself if this issue wasn't clarified.

Shen Huai'an knew that many things were not as they appeared to be. He didn't dwell on the issue; whether it was intentional or not was unimportant. Xingxing just wanted him to believe in her.

Xingxing was indeed wronged, as several people had tried to smear him. All Shen Huai'an could do was believe in him.

"Of course I believe you didn't do it on purpose, but given the circumstances, I couldn't immediately take your side."

"Why? Since you've chosen to believe me, why don't you say a word for me?"

Shen Huai'an thought about it and realized that children always care about these things, and he didn't know how to explain them to him.

The old lady has eyes and ears everywhere in the company; he can't completely side with Xingxing.

"I'm sorry, Xingxing, I was probably in a rush at the time, so I didn't speak up for you in time."

"I was only concerned about Xiaodong's hand and wanted to get him to the hospital as soon as possible, so I neglected you."

This explanation was really far-fetched, but Lin Wanxing still chose to believe it.

Knowing his second brother's character, it was normal for him to worry about his friend. Xie Xiaodong was also very important to him, so naturally he would be anxious to see his best friend injured.

But Lin Wanxing just felt uncomfortable, and she still feels uncomfortable now.

Especially in the afternoon, when he was discussing canceling the wedding with his second brother, his second brother's expression was absolutely terrifying.

"Xingxing, it's okay. Second brother knows he has made many mistakes, so he doesn't want to force you to forgive him. So I will listen to your wishes. Let's hold the wedding when you forgive me."
