However, Li Ruo was clearly not buying it and snorted coldly, saying, "You should worry about yourself. If I really expose things, you'll suffer much more than I will."
You know, people outside are speculating about the relationship between Fu Zhiqing and Wen Huaiyan, and there are rumors that the two are getting married soon.
If her affair with Li Zhiqi were exposed at this time, not only would she be humiliated, but the Fu family would also be subject to gossip.
Moreover, given Li Zhiqi's personality, once he's managed to climb onto the Fu family's coattails, he'll probably never let go, even if it means his death. Right now, he's only threatening her with photos, but once the matter is exposed, he'll definitely do everything he can to keep Fu Zhiqing tied to the wall.
"You dare!"
Fu Zhiqing was well aware of the consequences of exposure, but her proud pride wouldn't allow her to compromise at this moment.
Especially since this person is Li Ruo, she has no chance of bowing down to him.
Unexpectedly, this woman still maintained an arrogant attitude, and Li Ruo was losing patience, staring directly at her: "Do you think I dare?"
She had no obligation to keep the secret; the only reason she was willing to come and listen to this nonsense was to avoid driving the woman crazy again.
But if that's her attitude, then there's nothing more to say between the two of them.
"you!"
However, Fu Zhiqing was completely unaware of the seriousness of the problem; she only felt that Li Ruo had deliberately come to humiliate her.
Enraged and humiliated, her expression turned cold, and she could no longer contain the surging hatred in her heart: "You bitch, how dare you go against me! I'll make you die!"
As she spoke, she angrily raised her hand to teach Li Ruo a lesson.
But Li Ruo never expected her to suddenly go crazy, and was caught completely off guard.
Just as her pupils contracted and she watched helplessly as Fu Zhiqing's hand was about to fall, a figure suddenly rushed over and reached out to block her.
"Lyon?"
The moment Li Ruo saw who it was, she was startled and her eyes widened in surprise.
How did he end up here?
But Fu Zhiqing was even more panicked than her.
The woman trembled the moment she was stopped, and she was clearly uncomfortable.
Especially when she felt the scorching heat in Lyon's palm, Fu Zhiqing instantly felt as if she had touched something terrifying, and quickly pulled her hand back as if she had been electrocuted.
Noticing her unusual behavior, Li Ru frowned and said coldly, "Weren't you so arrogant just now? Why are you scared now?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Zhiqing glanced at Lyon subconsciously before quickly looking away and coldly snorted, "I wouldn't stoop to lay a hand on a child."
Although there was nothing wrong with what she said, Li Ruo felt that something was not quite right.
She knew Fu Zhiqing fairly well; this woman wasn't the type to give up easily just because the other party was a child.
Just as Li Ruo was wondering, Fu Zhiqing glared at her angrily: "You just wait, I won't let you off so easily."
She left behind a sentence and turned to leave, but her retreating figure hinted at a sense of panic.
"Isn't this woman too flustered?"
Watching this scene silently, Li Ruo suddenly frowned, feeling more and more uneasy.
After all, the other party seemed determined to achieve their goal just a moment ago. How could they have changed so drastically in just a few minutes?
Just as she was wondering what was going on, she inadvertently saw Lyon standing there in a daze, staring at the direction Fu Zhiqing had left with a somewhat forlorn expression.
Seeing this, Li Ruo thought he was frightened by Fu Zhiqing's actions earlier, so she gently poked him and asked with some concern, "Are you alright?"
Upon hearing this, Lyon snapped out of his daze and quickly shook his head: "I'm fine."
As he spoke, to prevent Li Ruo from noticing anything, he forced a smile at her.
But that smile was even uglier than a cry.
Sensing something was amiss, Li Ruo asked, even more puzzled, "Leon, what are you doing here?"
You should know that this place is very remote and hard to find. If Fu Zhiqing hadn't sent her the address, she probably wouldn't have known that such a place existed in this city.
"I……"
Unexpectedly, Li Ruo asked this question. Leon paused slightly, then took a deep breath before answering in a low voice, "I heard you talking to someone on the phone, so I was a little worried about you and came with you."
"Did you come with me?"
Hearing this, Li Ruo was a little surprised, because after spending so much time together, she knew the little guy in front of her quite well.
Perhaps because he spent too long in the slums, he developed a wary and withdrawn personality at a young age. He would never have such great curiosity, much less secretly follow someone without permission.
Thinking of this, she unconsciously frowned, but suddenly the image of Lyon meeting Fu Zhiqing when they first came to China flashed into her mind.
In addition, their unusual expressions during their few meetings further highlighted their differences.
She suddenly raised her head, a hint of surprise and uncertainty flashing in her eyes.
Did the two of them know each other from the beginning?
