Before Fu Huaijin could speak, the bald man standing behind him stepped forward first. He didn't have a good look on his scoundrel nephew, forcefully shoving him out and sternly warning, "Don't cause trouble. Mr. Fu is a distinguished guest."
The man glanced at Fu Huaijin suspiciously. Everyone who came here knew he was a distinguished guest. He snorted disdainfully, and only when he met his uncle's angry gaze did he reluctantly back away.
Su Yuxi, who was seen as short by others, was now clinging tightly to Fu Huaijin, her other hand intentionally or unintentionally covering half of her face.
This strange movement quickly attracted the attention of Fu Huaijin and the man behind him.
Although her face cannot be seen, her silhouette and unique aura make her instantly recognizable to those who know her.
"An Jiaren..." The man narrowed his eyes slightly and called out tentatively.
Su Yuxi definitely couldn't stop, so she pulled on Fu Huaijin's arm a little harder, trying to get him to walk faster.
When Fu Huaijin heard him call An Jiaren's name, he turned around and glanced at him, then turned his head to look at the guilty Su Yuxi.
However, he didn't pay much attention to the fact that the name didn't match.
But the next second...
"Su Yuxi." The man called out another name in a cold voice, and the two people in front of him stopped in their tracks.
Hua Zan hurried over, reaching out to climb onto her shoulder to see her face.
But before his hand could even touch her, his wrist was grabbed by another hand.
The two men looked up and met eyes, the air around them seemed to ignite, and a faint crackling sound of electricity filled the silence, making the atmosphere tense in an instant.
"Hua Zan, what are you doing? This is not a place for you to cause trouble." The bald man behind him reprimanded him in a deep voice with unquestionable authority.
He knew his nephew's temperament to some extent; he had more women than he could count on his fingers, and relying on his brother's doting affection, he did everything terribly wrong.
The woman Fu Huaijin brought was indeed beautiful, but did he not consider that he brought her in and treated her with such care and attention? What kind of status did this woman hold in his heart? Anyone else who wanted to lay a finger on her was probably courting death.
Hua Zan shoved Fu Huaijin away. He wouldn't listen to anyone now, let alone this insidious bald man: "Second Uncle, this is between her and me, it has nothing to do with you."
"Isn't Su Yuxi going to explain herself to me?" Hua Zan's red eyes were sinister as she ground her teeth. This woman was really hard to find.
There had been no news from her for so many days, and we thought she had died in the forest. We felt sorry for her for a long time, after all, it's not easy to find a woman as unique as her.
But then I thought, how could someone who can survive even the vast ocean possibly take her life in a mere forest?
Look, people have appeared now.
He reached out again, trying to grab her wrist.
Fu Huaijin took a step forward, shielding the person behind him, showing his protectiveness.
Hua Zan's patience had run out. He was interrupted time and time again, and a surge of anger welled up inside him. He clenched his fists tightly and said, "Su Yuxi, this is my territory. Are you going to come out on your own, or should I send someone to drag you out?"
It was the same familiar threatening language.
The bald man was so frightened that his heart jumped into his throat.
His nephew was really asking for trouble. He could act arrogantly at home all the time, but now they couldn't afford to offend him: "Hua Zan, how dare you speak to Mr. Fu like that, you scoundrel."
Then she turned to Fu Huaijin and apologized obsequiously: "Mr. Fu, I'm so sorry. My nephew is still young and doesn't know any better. I will definitely discipline him properly when we get back. Please calm down."
"I'll have someone escort you out now, and then I'll send you some gifts to apologize."
Fu Huaijin lowered his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the woman hiding behind him. He was puzzled, but now was not the time to ask questions, and he did not want to waste time here. So he said nothing, took Su Yuxi's hand and walked out.
Hua Zan was not about to give up. He had finally found Su Yuxi, and if he let her get away so easily, he would lose all face.
"Damn it, did I give you permission to leave?"
His two sword-like eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and his face was full of impatience. When he saw the two of them holding hands, his anger reached its peak. As they continued to walk forward, he could not suppress his anger and raised his fist to swing at Fu Huaijin.
The bald man was so frightened that his face changed drastically, and he almost died on the spot.
Fu Huaijin was still irritated and had been repeatedly provoked by him. Finally, he could no longer bear it. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes. He stopped and precisely grabbed the fist that was swinging towards him with one hand.
That fist, which seemed to contain immense power, was easily caught by him. Then, a gust of wind rose in the air, and with a swift kick, he struck the opponent's taut abdomen.
The force was so great that a tall, adult man was kicked away and landed heavily on the ground, raising dust and plunging the surroundings into a deathly silence.
The bald man frowned. Although he disliked Fu Huaijin hitting people, it was all his nephew's fault, so he couldn't care less about feeling sorry for him. He immediately called for someone to take the young master away.
He didn't even see when that kick came, and the man was already down. His nephew had no chance of winning against that level of skill.
Two burly men who were watching went up, grabbed Hua Zan, and shoved him into the house.
The bald man apologized and flattered Fu Huaijin to get the matter over with.
After boarding the helicopter, Fu Huaijin became unusually quiet. He stopped looking at the girl who had been protecting him earlier, and his tense jaw seemed to be sulking.
Su Yuxi sat to the side, her heart slightly unsettled. She would occasionally cast hesitant glances at him, but she didn't know how to explain the matter to him.
Perhaps she was still hoping for the best. She figured that men wouldn't ask about things she didn't want to talk about normally, so this time she did the same thing as before: if he didn't ask, she wouldn't say anything.
The two remained silent until they returned.
Fu Huaijin sat quietly the whole way. When he got off the plane, his handsome face was dark and gloomy. He carried the woman off the plane and led her back to the house. He said, "You rest first. I'm going to find Principal Lin. I'll be back later."
Su Yuxi nodded and replied softly, "Okay."
This was their first conversation since returning from the village, and everyone seemed to be in a stable mood.
But if you listen carefully, you can still tell that Fu Huaijin is sulking and Su Yuxi is feeling guilty.
After all, she owed someone 600 million yuan after her trip abroad, or more precisely, 500 million yuan. She was determined to default on the debt, but she was so unlucky as to come back here and run into him in that nook and cranny.
That's really bad luck.
She was thinking of going back to China; he couldn't very well ask the old man for money if he went back.
But how did that bastard know my real name?
Is it possible to find out all your information just by looking at your face?
She was analyzing the situation, completely unaware that Fu Huaijin had left, and even stood at the door waiting for a while.
Fu Huaijin's face darkened further when he didn't see anyone chasing after him, still grumbling about her perfunctory "good" handwriting.
Never mind, I'll come back later and find out what's going on between her and that man.
