The forceful command came from the other end of the phone:
"Xingzhou, go back to the old house tonight."
"Although the Bai family's matter has come to an end, there are still many follow-ups to be dealt with."
"We need you to come back and discuss this together."
Upon hearing this, Fu Xingzhou tightened his grip on his phone, knowing that the "follow-up handling" Fu Yan mentioned was far more than just a matter concerning the Bai family.
It's likely that Fu Yan has already learned of his investigation into the Bai family's old projects.
Fu Xingzhou glanced at Li Susu, who was pale on the sofa, and refused Fu Yan's request in a firm tone.
"I can't go home tonight."
"Xingzhou, this matter is very important, you must come back."
Fu Yan's voice rose a few decibels, tinged with a hint of anger.
"I've already notified the others. See you at the old house at 8 PM."
After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for Fu Xingzhou's response.
Fu Xingzhou stared at his phone, his face grim. He took a deep breath and tried to suppress his anger.
He turned and walked to Li Susu's side, gently patting her shoulder. "Susu, I have some things to do at the company, so I can't have dinner with you tonight."
Li Susu slowly opened her eyes, looked at him, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.
"What's wrong?" Her voice was hoarse and tinged with exhaustion.
"It's nothing, just a small matter, I'll take care of it soon," Fu Xingzhou said. "You get some rest, I'll be back later."
After saying this, he bent down and gently kissed her forehead, then turned and left the villa.
Watching Fu Xingzhou's departing figure, Li Susu felt a sense of unease.
She always felt that something was about to happen.
After Fu Xingzhou left, Li Susu sat alone in the empty living room.
A strange sense of loneliness welled up in my heart.
She got up and went to the restaurant.
A sumptuous dinner, all her favorite dishes, was laid out on the table.
But now she has no appetite at all.
She slowly sat down, her gaze falling on the empty chair opposite her.
In the past, Fu Xingzhou would always sit there, eating and chatting with her.
Now, she's all alone.
She picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of fish and put it in her mouth, but couldn't taste it.
Li Susu put down her chopsticks and sighed.
It turns out that in just two short months...
She had already gotten used to Fu Xingzhou's presence.
I've gotten used to eating with him every day.
After spacing out for a while, Li Susu picked up her chopsticks again, just about to pick up a piece of tempting sweet and sour pork ribs, when suddenly her stomach churned.
She abruptly covered her mouth, her face turning deathly pale, a strong feeling of nausea rising in her throat.
She couldn't hold back any longer.
"vomit……"
She rushed to the bathroom and dry-heaved into the toilet, but nothing came out; instead, she felt weak all over.
My stomach feels like it's on fire.
Li Susu leaned against the sink, her face as pale as paper, covered in cold sweat.
He could only give up the idea of continuing to eat, rinsed his mouth, and returned to his bedroom listlessly, collapsing onto the bed and falling into a deep sleep.
She woke up again to the sound of her phone vibrating; someone had sent her an anonymous text message.
There was only one picture in the text message.
In the picture, Fu Xingzhou and Bai Weiwei are sitting face to face, very close together, with a coffee shop in the background.
Bai Weiwei gently placed her hand on the back of Fu Xingzhou's hand.
Fu Xingzhou's eyes were gentle yet focused.
The two looked very affectionate.
Li Susu's heart sank suddenly, as if gripped tightly by an invisible hand, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
