Fu Nanxiao looked at Jiang Yilai, who was sitting in the driver's seat like a frightened bird, and helped her out of the car with a pained expression.

However, her body was a little stiff, and she couldn't stand steadily after landing; she was frightened.

Fu Nanxiao picked her up and carried her in his arms. The moment she leaned against him, Jiang Yilai could no longer hold back her grievances, and tears streamed down her face as she lay on his chest.

Being by his side was already like walking on thin ice, and now that Old Master Fu has returned, he's even more determined to kill her.

If she doesn't leave soon, who knows what she'll face next.

"Lai Lai, I'm sorry to have startled you."

Jiang Yilai didn't say anything, but just quietly leaned against him.

"Don't worry, I won't let you get hurt like that again."

Fu Nanxiao's arms tightened slightly as he held her, knowing full well that he could not bear to lose her.

Jiang Yilai believed his assurance and knew that the old man would not back down.

When Jiang Yilai saw Fu Nanxiao trying to carry her into the car, she immediately stopped him.

"I...I don't want to take a car right now."

Having just had a terrifying experience, she now feels fear whenever she gets near a car.

Fu Nanxiao stopped in his tracks, his brows furrowed, and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry to have startled you. I will handle these matters."

Jiang Yilai didn't blame him; on the contrary, she felt sorry for him being in such a family full of murderous intent and power struggles. Perhaps that was the reason for his cold-heartedness.

After all, only in this way can one better protect oneself.

"No need to apologize to me. If you hadn't arrived in time, perhaps I..."

"No, I'll carry you back."

He refused to listen to even bad speculations and carried Jiang Yilai back home.

Fu Family Old House~

Grandpa Fu was leisurely enjoying afternoon tea in the courtyard when Kang Jun walked up behind him with a serious expression.

"Sir, the operation failed, she is fine."

"What? She's really lucky to be alive!"

The Longjing tea in Grandpa Fu's cup no longer smelled good. He was quite displeased that the first thing he asked Kang Jun to do after returning to China had ended in failure.

Kang Jun lowered his head: "It was the young master who arrived in time and led her to the emergency lane to be rescued."

The old man gripped his teacup tightly; getting rid of Jiang Yilai was more difficult than he had imagined.

"Don't worry, there's plenty of time."

"Master, the eldest young master has arrived!" Uncle Zhou reported again.

The old man leaned back in his rattan chair, as steady as a mountain.

"Let him come over."

What's coming can't be avoided; the old man wants to see how he plans to confront him.

Fu Nanxiao strode over, his heart burning with anger, but when he saw the old man with gray hair, his eyes darkened.

"Nan Xiao, shouldn't you be busy with the new project at the company at this time? Why are you here?"

"Grandpa, why ask a question you already know the answer to?"

"Then I really don't understand what you're here for."

"Why are you doing this to Lai Lai? You're breaking the law."

"You're wrong. I'm protecting my offspring. If you were even a little smarter, I wouldn't have gone to such extremes."

“It was your domineering and tyrannical nature that made me live according to your demands. If you hadn’t forced my father like that back then, I wouldn’t have lost my loved ones.”

Fu Nanxiao's words were like a sharp knife piercing the old man's heart; some things, once said, would tear the relationship apart.

And that is the purpose of his visit today.

"I don't care what you want to do, but I'm warning you, if you dare to touch Lai Lai again, I guarantee you'll regret it."

"You little bastard, how dare you talk to me like that?"

"As an elder, don't you feel ashamed to do such a vicious thing?"
