Old scores

  When he let go of her, his eyes were already filled with unbridled passion. She had tears in her eyes and raised her hand to slap him, but he didn't dodge, just leaned there, narrowing his eyes at her.

  "Your dad can be released this afternoon!"

  Just a faint sentence, successfully made her high-flying hand stop in mid-air. How could she have forgotten that her father's matter had not been resolved yet? She bit her lip tightly and looked at his face, which was almost perfect but sometimes warm and gentle, yet sometimes like a devil's, and slowly lowered her palm.

  It was at that moment when she put down her right hand, her left hand was suddenly grasped by a pair of strong hands. Before she could react, the diamond ring had already been put onto her slender ring finger without giving her any chance to refuse.

  She suddenly realized that in this game of love and not loving, the more fiercely she resisted, the deeper he would trap her. If she was smart, she should obediently stop resisting him, otherwise, in the end, only she would suffer.

  He released her hand and started the car.

  "You're too tired today, I'll send you back to rest. After I've finished dealing with things here, we'll head back to N City together!"

  Xu Liu'er looked at his angular profile, opened her mouth, but ultimately didn't say anything. She just closed her eyes and leaned back against the chair, too weak to speak. She had originally wanted to ask him why he wanted to return to N City with her, but then she remembered that he wasn't the one who said he'd been there for three years, so N City must also be part of his territory.

  He sent her home and left without saying anything, she was indeed very tired, using all her strength to fight with him that time, she was exhausted, after going back to rest for a while, she planned to go to the hospital.

  After going out, she suddenly thought of something and rushed to the Xu's house again. Fang Hui's worry had already dissipated from her face, seeing her come back, she resumed that lukewarm attitude, casually throwing a sentence at her:

  "Here I come!"

  He turned around and was about to go upstairs.

  "Aunt Fang!"

  Xu Liu quietly called out to her from behind.

  "Why are you treating my mom like that? Wasn't it you who told her about Dad going to jail last night? My dad is already in such a difficult situation, do you want to drive my mom to death? You clearly know that her body can't withstand such a heavy blow!"

  Fang Hui's figure swayed slightly as she turned around, her expression a mix of sorrow and a hint of ruthless cruelty.

  "What's it to me what I told her? Now that she's dead, he can finally look at me straight in the eye. For so many years, I've been living in her shadow, how could I be willing to accept this?"

  Xu Liu'nan suppressed his emotions several times before speaking calmly.

  "Aunt Fang, you're overthinking this. In all these years, my mom and dad have hardly been in touch, let alone her wanting to ruin your current family. She's already thought of that, so why can't you just let it go?"

  Fang Hui let out a cold hum in response to what she said, expressing her skepticism.

  "Your dad's business is something Lu Zhouyue shouldn't have interfered with,"

  Just as I was secretly shocked and about to come up with a suitable excuse to gloss over it, Fang Hui continued to say,

  "Someone saw you with him last night, and let's face it, who in all of Wen City would dare to mess with Lu Fangting? Except for his own son!"
