"Second brother, don't worry, didn't you and eldest brother assign me a lot of bodyguards?"
Li Yulin sighed, "Su Su, why don't you move in with me?"
"That puts my mind at ease."
Looking at her second brother's worried expression, Li Susu felt somewhat helpless.
"Second brother, there's nothing to be afraid of. This is Haolu Garden; Master Liu's men can't possibly sneak in."
"With so many people guarding this place, what could possibly happen to me? Don't worry, I'll be extra careful."
"You should go back now, it's so late."
It took Li Susu a long time to calm Li Yulin down before he finally gave up.
"Then lock the door properly. If anything happens, contact me immediately. Don't let your guard down."
Li Susu nodded repeatedly, and only after seeing her second brother off did she plan to go back to rest.
She had just turned around when she heard a car horn.
Fu Xingzhou, who had originally planned to stay at the company, suddenly returned tonight.
He got out of the car, walked over quickly, looked Li Susu up and down, and looked a little nervous.
Li Susu frowned and glanced at the car behind him.
"Did you just get off work?"
Fu Xingzhou didn't explain, but instead asked about Li Susu.
"I heard there was an accident on that piece of land in the suburbs. Are you alright?"
Li Susu sighed, "I wasn't there, so of course I'm fine. It's just that the person in charge was injured and is receiving treatment at the hospital."
"You came back because of this?"
Fu Xingzhou's expression was solemn, and his brows furrowed.
"This Master Liu is ruthless. Tonight's events are just the beginning. He will definitely have other plans in the coming days."
Li Susu nodded. "I understand. I will be careful."
Li Susu felt a little overwhelmed by the other person's concern and, to avoid being asked for help, she quickly spoke up again.
"Mr. Fu, it's getting late, you should go back and rest."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and prepared to go back.
Fu Xingzhou frowned, took two steps forward, and grabbed Li Susu's arm.
"Are you sure you can manage on your own? You don't need me..."
Li Susu pulled her arm back and forced a smile.
“President Fu, I’m not alone. Look, I’m surrounded by bodyguards sent by my elder brothers.”
"Even if Master Liu has connections everywhere, he wouldn't dare to harm me under the noses of so many people."
"As for other matters, they are business matters, and I will handle them myself."
Li Susu's clear refusal made Fu Xingzhou's expression darken.
"Li Susu!"
Fu Xingzhou's voice carried a hint of anger, making Li Susu even more at a loss.
"President Fu, I really don't need anyone's help. I can't rely on the Fu Group for the rest of my life, can I?"
A mist settled over Li Susu's eyes, as if she felt wronged and helpless.
Fu Xingzhou's arm fell limply to his side. After a long while, he finally gave a self-deprecating laugh and responded.
"Alright, since you can handle it, I was just being nosy."
"I shouldn't have come back."
Li Susu's heart suddenly tightened, as if it were being crumpled by an invisible hand, making it hard to breathe.
Fu Xingzhou ignored her reaction and got into the car.
The car turned around and quickly left Haoluyuan.
The housekeeper next door heard the noise and went out to greet him, only to see his boss's car exhaust fumes.
"Why did you leave again?"
The housekeeper muttered something to himself, his gaze falling on Li Susu standing at the door next door.
Li Susu stared in the direction Fu Xingzhou's car had left, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.
