Although Song Fanze couldn't see it, he could sense the amazement on her face.
After one performance, Song Fanzhe took her to another place.
As we strolled along, it quickly grew dark.
Seeing the setting sun, Song Fanze looked down at Chi Qiangwei and said.
"Let me take you for a walk by the lake; the sunset there is even more beautiful."
Chi Qiangwei nodded immediately.
Arriving at the lakeside, the setting sun appeared infinitely larger in front of him, as if it were right in front of him.
There were many tourists boating on the lake, all waiting for the sun to set.
There was no one around, so Song Fanze bent down and lifted the cotton cloth off the cage, placing it on the ground.
The bright red roses, with their unique fragrance, are even more beautiful when bathed in the setting sun.
She swayed her petals and branches, expressing her excitement.
Song Fanze sat on a rock, with a red rose next to him.
From a distance, the red rose seemed to be leaning on his shoulder, creating a beautiful scene.
Suddenly, a soft and pleasant female voice came from behind me.
"Mr. Fan Ze, is that you?"
Song Fanze turned his head and saw Chu Chu walking over, supported by a maid.
Chu Chu looked a little haggard, but when she saw Song Fanze, she showed a joyful expression.
Song Fanze was surprised, "Miss Chu Chu."
Chu Chu stepped forward and asked, "Are you alright?"
Song Fanze took a few steps back and politely but distantly cupped his hands towards her, "Miss Chuchu, please forgive me for not being able to meet you."
Upon hearing this, Chu Chu's eyes dimmed slightly as she said, "I know."
He added, "But are you really that heartless?"
"Even for the last time, you didn't want to see me," Chu Chu said sadly.
Song Fanze remained silent.
Upon seeing this, Chu Chu said, "I know you don't want to meet with me because you're afraid of ruining my reputation and giving people something to talk about."
She was a woman about to get married, while Song Fanze was a renowned philanthropist and an unmarried man.
Their meeting inevitably sparked gossip.
At this moment, Xia Liang appeared with several friends.
They saw Song Fanzhe chatting with a young woman of marriageable age by the lake.
The girl's eyes were brimming with tears, as if the man before her was a heartless scoundrel.
A strange look inevitably appeared in their eyes.
"Mr. Fan Ze, what are you doing here?"
When Song Fanze saw them, he was not flustered. He said frankly, "I came to the lake to relax after leaving the gardener's place."
Xia Liang: "So that's how it is."
When the girl saw them, she nodded politely.
Xia Liang noticed that she didn't know where to put her hands and seemed a little nervous.
His heart skipped a beat.
Suddenly, Young Master Wang ran over and saw the two of them on a date by the lake.
He pointed angrily at Song Fanze.
"You, Song Fanze! You hypocritical scoundrel!"
He cursed and tried to rush up and beat him with a few friends, but Xia Liang and the others quickly stopped him.
Chu Chu was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she instinctively hid behind Song Fanze.
Upon seeing this, Young Master Wang became even more furious, which further confirmed his suspicion that Chu Chu and Song Fanze had some kind of ambiguous relationship.
Xia Liang spoke up for Song Fanze, "Young Master Wang, have you misunderstood something?"
"You've misunderstood him! He clearly rejected Chu Chu, but now he's meeting with her behind my back!" Young Master Wang said angrily.
Song Fanze: "I just ran into her while taking a walk here, it's not what you're saying."
“We are upright and honest.” Song Fanze stood there, neither humble nor arrogant.
Young Master Wang snorted upon hearing this, clearly not believing it at all.
Xia Liang spoke up for Song Fanze, saying, "Yes, Young Master Wang, we know Mr. Fanze's character well; he's not that kind of person."
Upon hearing this, Young Master Wang immediately spat, "What good character? I think he's just a pretentious scoundrel."
Seeing that Chu Chu was still standing behind Song Fanze, he angrily cursed, "Why don't you come over here? A woman showing her face in public and meeting other men, so promiscuous! I'll call off this engagement sooner or later, and see who would dare to marry you!"
Chu Chu was startled by what he said, and her eyes immediately reddened.
When Young Master Wang saw that she still hadn't moved, he went over and forcibly pulled her away.
Chu Chu was being pulled by him forcefully, and in the process, the cage on the ground was tripped over by him.
The cage rolled to the ground, the cotton cloth was lifted, and the red roses inside were revealed.
Song Fanze's expression changed, and he quickly picked up the cage.
However, to vent his anger, Young Master Wang kicked the cage so hard that it collapsed, crushing the red rose inside.
"Even a broken flower is worth so much of your value!"
Seeing Song Fanze's expression change drastically, revealing a look of heartache and anger, he immediately felt relieved.
To make him even more upset, he kicked him hard again.
The cage slipped directly from his hands and rolled onto the ground.
Song Fanzhe rushed over to pick it up, but Young Master Wang kicked it hard again, sending the cage flying far away. With a thud, it rolled into the lake.
Song Fanze's eyes immediately turned red. He swung a punch hard at his face, and before Young Master Wang could react, Song Fanze jumped into the icy lake with a splash.
Xia Liang and the others exclaimed in surprise, "Mr. Fan Ze!"
Young Master Wang also showed a surprised expression.
Song Fanze stood in the icy lake water, bending over and searching. His clothes were soaked, and the jade crown on his head was about to fall off.
Xia Liang was calling him, but he seemed not to hear, continuing to search in the water.
This was the first time he had seen Mr. Fan Ze like this.
The others were both surprised and anxious when they saw Mr. Fan Ze's appearance.
"Mr. Fan Ze, stop trying to retrieve it, the water's cold!"
However, Song Fanze did not react at all; he continued to scoop.
Finally, he reached the cage and scooped up the red rose. The red rose was wet and wilted, with many petals fallen off, and it was covered in dirty mud and water.
No matter how Song Fanzhe tried to manipulate her, she didn't respond, and he started to panic.
Xia Liang quickly went over and pulled him back from the lake. He saw the red rose in his hand, now in pieces.
He couldn't help but comfort him, "Mr. Fanze, let's find a gardener, maybe we can save him."
Song Fanze remained silent.
At this moment, Young Master Wang saw Song Fanze like this and stood aside silently.
Chu Chu stepped forward, tears streaming down her face, "I'm sorry, Mr. Fan Ze, it's all my fault..."
Finally, Song Fanze left alone, carrying the cage.
Inside the house.
Song Fanze sat in his study, gazing at the red roses he had arranged, but she remained motionless.
No matter how he called out to her, it was no use; he just sat there quietly.
He didn't even notice when the servant came in.
"Mr. Fan Ze, please eat first. You'll have the strength to think of a way to save it."
