Let Shi Lingheng show off his love, huh? You've got your eye on Xiao Fan, but Xiao Fan hasn't even said she likes you yet...
If you really push me too far, I'll do it!
After Fan Xiaofan returned to the Fan family, his grandparents, knowing that something had happened on the way, looked him over worriedly. Only after confirming that nothing was wrong did they breathe a sigh of relief.
"You really worried us..."
Grandma Fan clutched her heart, looking terrified.
Fan Xiaofan pulled the two elderly people down to sit, poured them a cup of calming tea, and then said, "Don't worry, I have so many people protecting me..."
Grandpa Fan tapped her forehead and said, "You still have to be careful. Better safe than sorry..."
Fu Weidong sat down next to Fan Xiaofan, raised his little arm, and said in a childish voice, "From today onwards, I will follow my sister and protect her."
Fan Xiaofan was immediately softened by his coaxing. Oh my, where did I pick up this adorable little brother?

Mrs. Fang waited anxiously at home for news, but instead of good news, she received a hurried phone call from the other end: the people they sent out to carry out the attack had been arrested, and it was only a matter of time before they implicated them.
"What?"
A shrill voice rang out, and Madam Fang, who usually feigned gentleness and good manners, was now completely hysterical.
"It was just catching a girl, how did you fail? They called you an idiot? Who did you hire!"
She yelled into the phone.
The man on the other end paused for a moment, then continued, "Now is not the time to be angry. If we can't catch Fan Xiaofan, how will we control Shi Lingheng? That old couple in the Shi family are also very cunning; we won't even have a chance to make a move."
Mrs. Fang knew this wasn't the time to lose her temper, so she tried to suppress it and thought about what to do about the situation.
After a long silence, the man on the other end spoke up: "If the hard approach doesn't work, then the soft approach will do, won't it?"
"What do you mean?"
Mrs. Fang asked, somewhat puzzled.
A man's voice, tinged with laughter, rang out: "I heard your eldest daughter, Fang Jiamin, got divorced?"
Why are you saying all this?
Mrs. Fang did not want to hear others mention this matter, because Fang Yuwen and Fang Jiacheng had gotten into trouble, their daughter had been divorced, and they had become a laughing stock.
The man on the other end of the phone continued, "Don't rush, let me finish. The Zhang family wants to break off the engagement with your daughter because they've their eyes on Fan Xiaofan... because your daughter is no longer of any use to them, so they want to climb the social ladder..."
Mrs. Fang was taken aback.
She immediately understood what the man meant.
"You mean..."
The man smiled and said, "That's right. Tomorrow, this news will spread throughout Beidu. That will be your daughter's chance to shine. I think you'll teach her what to do, right?"
Madam Fang, her earlier gloom gone, replied, "You truly live up to your reputation as a strategist."
"It was just a friend showing support."
After hanging up the phone, Mrs. Fang immediately went to Fang Jiamin's room. Fang Jiamin was always very concerned about her image, and now that she had gone out, she had become a laughing stock. This was unbearable for her. She hadn't left the house for the past few days and had just stayed in her room. She couldn't bear the thought that the Zhang family dared to treat her like this.
"Jiamin, I need to talk to you. Come in..."
Mrs. Fang pushed open the door and entered, only to see her daughter huddled in bed, tears streaming down her face. After all, she was her own child; how could she not feel heartache?
