Chapter 112 Lu Lian'er's sinister intentions! The good days are over!

"Grandma..." Xia Mian hugged Madam Fu, moved. "We were afraid you would worry, we didn't want you to eat or sleep poorly, we didn't want you to be upset..."

"Mianmian! Seeing that you are recovering well, Grandma is relieved." After seeing Xia Mian's condition, Madam Fu's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

She wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes and then chatted with Xia Mian for a while, asking her what was wrong.

He then glanced sideways at Fu Yanshen, and the handsome man was sitting on the sofa not far away; their eyes met.

No matter how high-ranking a leader may be outside, he must maintain respect and humility in front of his grandmother.

"Grandma, it's my fault. I shouldn't have let everyone keep it from you."

"Hmph! Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!" Old Madam Fu pouted. "What you're thinking is, how could you be so careless as to not keep it a secret and let this old woman like me find out?"

Fu Yanshen smiled slightly, "Grandma is wise."

"It's all because of that bunch of trash from the Xia family!" Fu Yanhao said indignantly. "They came to our house and provoked Grandma! Now she knows everything."

"The Xia family?" Xia Mian frowned. "They've gone too far!"

Xia Mian had no idea what her three trashy brothers were trying to achieve by going to the Fu family; she only felt a physical aversion to them.

At the last graduation banquet, she made it very clear that she had no further connection with the Xia family!

They were so shameless as to disturb Madam Fu.

A cold glint flashed in Xia Mian's eyes.

During her recovery these past two days, she suddenly remembered that there was indeed such a fierce battle in the mall in her previous life, but in her previous life she was immersed in the sadness and grief of being abandoned by her brothers and did not pay much attention to this case at all.

I only vaguely remember that quite a few saleswomen and customers died...

Only a few people have been injured in her lifetime. Xia Mian doesn't know if this accidental injury can be considered a good deed she has done.

From the last flood to this shopping mall robbery, it seems she has done many meaningful things since her rebirth.

It's really great that she's no longer fixated on competing with Lu Lian'er for her brothers' affection!

Fu Yanshen did not participate in this mall rescue in his previous life; he sent his subordinates instead.

In this life, he saved Xia Mian, and he saved many other people!

The meaning of his rebirth suddenly became tangible! Furthermore, in his previous life, he and Xia Mian had very little interaction; only in his later, dying days was Xia Mian his doctor…

But it planted a seed in his heart, which took root and sprouted!

Fu Yanshen was suddenly filled with emotion, and gently stroked Xia Mian's soft hair with his large hand.

Xia Mian wanted to hide. She had been staying in the hospital for several days and hadn't showered or washed her hair; it was starting to stink...

And it was even oily, and he actually touched her hair!

Her cheeks were slightly flushed. "I haven't showered for several days..."

"It's alright, it doesn't smell at all. Taking care of your health is the most important thing." Fu Yanshen smiled and looked down. "Would you like some water? I'll get you some."

Fu Yanhao and Fu Yanchen stared wide-eyed as their usually aloof older brother served Xia Mian with such ease, skill, and intimacy, doing everything personally.

Madam Fu's mood fluctuated like a stock market chart today, going up and down, which was enough to give her a heart attack.

Fortunately, after seeing Xia Mian safe and sound, she only felt exhausted.

They were sent back by the twins after a short time.

The ward fell silent, leaving only Fu Yanshen and Xia Mian.

Fu Yanshen looked at Xia Mian and suddenly chuckled. His usually sharp eyes were filled with a touch of doting affection, making him exceptionally handsome.

Xia Mian was stunned, captivated by the gentle light in the man's dark eyes.

"you……"

The man leaned forward, and his strong arms suddenly braced on either side of Xia Mian's body, enveloping her slender frame in his embrace.

Xia Mian's heart skipped a beat.

Even just leaning in and embracing her like that, her mind went blank.

The man's voice was slightly dark and husky, so sexy it was almost intoxicating. "Mianmian, it's been so long since you called me 'brother'! Why don't you call me now? Let's see if I'll respond?"

Xia Mian's limbs felt weak; she had been suddenly aroused by the man!

But the man's expression was indescribably serious.

It took Xia Mian a while to regain her composure; she was clearly trying to avoid the situation.

"My neck is still a bit uncomfortable. I want to sleep for a while."

"Mianmian, I've been by your side all this time. Don't you even want to call me 'brother'? Just say it once, please?" Fu Yanshen's eyes deepened, filled with a hint of obsessive longing.

The more he acted this way, the more shy Xia Mian became. Her tongue seemed to suddenly become unresponsive, and she couldn't make a sound no matter what she did.

The atmosphere was inexplicably ambiguous and intense.

It felt like the air itself was suddenly on fire.

The guard suddenly knocked on the door and came in, "Reporting to the commander, it's the political commissar's phone call!"

Fu Yanshen gritted his teeth. Why not call now? This political commissar better have something important to say!

He took the phone from the guard with a dark expression and went outside to answer it.

Guard: "..."

He was just reporting a phone call, why is the commander angry? Why does he look so upset?

The guards were almost in tears from the sight of Fu Yanshen's dark expression.

He quickly ran away, not wanting to face the leader's gloomy atmosphere at all.

Xia Mian looked at Fu Yanshen's tall and broad back and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

She was calling out the name quite smoothly before, but for some reason she suddenly couldn't say it just now...

I just felt incredibly awkward.

When Fu Yanshen returned after receiving the phone call, his expression was even more unpleasant!

He composed himself, suppressing his displeasure. "Mianmian, I have to go out for a while. I've asked Baoqi to come and keep you company."

"Go ahead." Xia Mian looked at the tall and imposing man in front of her, who exuded the aura of a superior.

Fu Yanshen glanced down at Xia Mian, a hint of reluctance flashing in his eyes. He cupped the back of her head with his large hand and couldn't resist giving her a light kiss.

Afraid of kissing her too deeply and aggravating her wound, he only gave her a light kiss before letting go.

Xia Mian's heart raced and her blood rushed as he kissed her, causing her to gasp for breath several times.

To Xia Mian's surprise, not long after Fu Yanshen left, Lu Lian'er and Old Madam Xia arrived.

Lu Lian'er was wearing a Chanel dress and high heels, with a scheming, manipulative look on her face.

I haven't seen her recently, and Madam Xia's face looks even more harsh, especially her drooping mouth, which is unpleasant to look at.

As soon as she entered, Old Madam Xia said with an air of imperiousness, "Besides causing trouble, what else can you do? Your brothers are all bedridden now because of you, are you proud of yourself? Are you feeling good about it?"

"Xia Mian, don't forget, that's your own brother! Even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected!"

"What are you saying? I don't understand." Xia Mian's voice was indifferent, and she glanced at Old Madam Xia with a very calm demeanor.

"What are you pretending for! Wasn't it supposed to be your crazy twin twins beating up your brothers?" Lu Lian'er said angrily. "Xia Mian, how can you be so cruel? What good will it do you if your brothers get hurt?"
