That night, Fu Sheng did not go home.

He called Xie Min back and said that there was an urgent matter at the company and he would be busy for a long time, so he went to rest in the company.

His tone was calm, without the irritability of being drugged, nor the anger of knowing that she had drugged him.

The more this happened, the more unsure Xie Min felt.

Fu Sheng didn't come home at night... Could he be going to look for a lady? !

She cursed Secretary Xu in her heart, why didn't he call earlier or later, but at that time!

In the morning, Fu Sheng called Xie Mu, but no one answered.

He just thought she was busy and didn't answer the call, so he called again half an hour later.

Still no answer.

Fu Sheng realized something belatedly.

He found Xie Mu’s WeChat and left a message.

After a busy morning of work, Fu Sheng checked his phone and saw no reply.

He raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows.

Was it she who provoked him first, aroused his suspicion, and then left him aside?

There were fewer courses in the senior year, so Xie Mu teamed up with two classmates to participate in a professional competition jointly organized by universities as a group to enrich their resumes.

At noon, Xie Mu and his classmates came out of the library's reading room and walked towards the cafeteria while discussing issues.

"Thank you, Mu."

Suddenly, she heard someone calling her. Xie Mu looked in the direction of the voice and saw Fu Sheng standing by a pillar not far in front of her. When he saw her looking at him, he strode over.

The classmate on the left also saw Fu Sheng, poked Xie Mu with his elbow, and gave the two of them an ambiguous look.

"Manager Fu?" Xie Mu's face was calm. "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Well, how about I treat you to lunch at noon and talk while we eat?"

"What's the matter? If it's nothing serious, just tell me."

Fu Sheng looked at her bland and somewhat indifferent expression, smiled, and looked at the two classmates beside her.

Xie Mu said to his classmates, "Go to the cafeteria first and get me a chicken chop rice. I'll be there soon."

"Hey."

The student on the left smiled slyly and couldn't wait to pull the student on the right away.

"Manager Fu, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Fu Sheng looked around the library hall, where people were coming and going. "Are you sure you want to say this here?"

Xie Mu looked at it and walked to the corner, "Go ahead."

"You made a deal with my second brother?"

"......Yeah." Xie Mu lowered his head.

It’s not surprising that Fu Sheng could find out these things.

"Our company had a team building before the New Year. Was it him who gave you the opportunity to enter the hot spring resort and destroyed the surveillance in advance?"

"…It's all thanks to Manager Fu who got Meng Ce drunk."

"But you said that your child is not Meng Ce's, and you know that nothing happened between you and Meng Ce. So what else happened that night? In order to get the money, you did not call the police, but framed Meng Ce." He looked into Xie Mu's eyes and slowly described what he had guessed.

If that were the case, then everything would make sense.

"..."

Flashing back to the scene of that night, Xie Mu's face turned pale. He took a deep breath and couldn't help but distance himself from Fu Sheng. He looked up at him and said, "Manager Xie, I was offended last time. I spoke nonsense without knowing the truth. I'm sorry. Please don't mention this matter again in the future."

Fu Sheng laughed, "You came to me first, but now you're asking me not to mention it again?"

"I'm sorry, Manager Xie. I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

Fu Sheng pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time.

Xie Mu glanced at him and avoided his sight. "If you have nothing else to do, I'll leave first. My classmates are still waiting for me."

"and many more."

Xie Mu stopped and looked at him in confusion.

Fu Sheng patted her shoulder and said, "In that case, I won't force you. Just study hard."

After saying that, he walked past her and left the library.

Xie Mu withdrew his gaze and hurried back to the cafeteria.

The two classmates had already taken seats and helped Xie Mu get food.

As soon as Xie Mu sat down, he was severely tortured by the classmate on his left, "Mu Mu, tell me the truth, how far have you and Fu Sheng gone?"

She had gone to Fu's for an interview with Xie Mu before, and she recognized that the main interviewer was the handsome guy who almost bumped into Xie Mu on the street. After Xie Mu passed the interview and was hired, she was looking forward to whether Xie Mu could have an encounter with Fu Sheng.

However, there was no news until the end of Xie Mu's internship, and she had long forgotten about the matter.

It wasn't until today when Fu Sheng came to the school to find Xie Mu that her gossipy heart was ignited again.

The classmate on the right was also informed about the "fate" between Xie Mu and Fu Sheng, and looked at Xie Mu with an ambiguous expression.

Xie Mu looked at the expressions of the two and said helplessly, "You have a big misunderstanding. Manager Fu's wife is my cousin. He came to see me for other things. It has nothing to do with what you think."

"Ah?" The student on the left was extremely surprised, "Your brother-in-law? That's fine."

The two of them put their thoughts aside and started discussing the competition.

……

When Ilia came out of the detention center, her face was haggard and her body was thin. There was no trace of her previous bright and beautiful appearance.

Seeing Yan Huai coming to pick her up, Ilia paused for a moment, hunched her shoulders, and her eyes revealed her fear of him, "...Brother."

She now looks like a completely different person, completely devoid of her former arrogance.

Yan Huai looked at her for a few times, "Let's go, go to the hotel to get ready first, I've booked a flight for you tonight."

Ilia hurriedly followed his steps, lowered her head, and said nothing.

When she got in the car, she was still like this.

Whenever Yan Huai looked at her, she would lower her head and huddle, twisting the edge of her clothes with her hands, looking extremely nervous and fearful.

Yan Huai said, "Are you afraid of me?"

Ilia was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook her head, "No...no."

She said this, but her expression and body language showed that she was afraid of him.

"Do you realize your mistake?"

Ilia nodded vigorously, tears welling up in her eyes. "I know I was wrong, brother. I really know I was wrong. I don't want to go back to the detention center. I will listen to you in the future!"

If it weren't for Ilia's identity, he would have taken the time to watch the surveillance of Ilia in the detention center, otherwise he would have suspected that Ilia was suffering inhuman abuse in prison.

"It's not about listening to me, but about not taking advantage of your power to bully others and committing crimes. This time I'm just teaching you a small lesson. If your father wasn't here, you would have been sentenced to several years in prison for what you did before."

"Yes... yes, I know I was wrong. I will never bully anyone again. Please don't lock me up again." Ilia promised tremblingly.

"Listen to your parents when you go back. As for Fanfan, you will keep the custody here, and you can stay in Philadelphia a few times a year."

"Just make the arrangements, I'll listen to you... I was possessed by a demon before, if you see her, please apologize to her on my behalf. It's all my fault that she got into a car accident because of my selfish desires, I don't deserve to be her mother."

"If you have the chance in the future, it would be better if you tell her in person..."

Ilia tidied up and rested in the hotel. At eight o'clock in the evening, Yan Huai personally sent her on a plane to Philadelphia.
