He lured her deep into his trap, using both overt and covert methods to seduce her.

Xu Ning suddenly realized what was happening and panicked, "Ninth, Ninth Brother."

Fu Lu said lazily, "I wouldn't mind being an elder to you and your cousin."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ning immediately became anxious: "No, Ninth Brother, please don't tell my brother, I beg you."

Fu Lu raised an eyebrow, said nothing, and began to tour the house.

Three rooms and one living room.

There is also a large terrace.

It's perfect for building a sunroom.

After Fu Lu finished his tour, he looked at Xu Ning and asked, "Is this house yours?"

Xu Ning nodded: "Yes, it's a coming-of-age gift from my brother."

"Zhou Yan?"

Xu Ning nodded.

"follow me."

After finishing his sentence, Fu Lu walked towards the terrace.

Xu Ning quickly followed behind him, looking incredibly obedient.

Wei Yinuo watched the two standing on the edge of the terrace, seemingly talking about something.

She asked Song Zhi beside her with some curiosity, "Auntie, what were my uncle and Aning talking about?"

Song Zhi shook her head: "I don't know."

"I'll go listen secretly."

As she spoke, she sneaked toward the terrace. As soon as she got there, Xu Ning turned around first.

Seeing Wei Yinuo huddled behind the door, he asked curiously, "Yinuo, what are you doing?"

Wei Yinuo smiled somewhat guiltily: "Hehe, I just saw some ants here, so I came to take a look."

Xu Ning leaned closer: "Ants? Where are they?"

Wei Yinuo reached out and patted Xu Ning's head with a look of disgust: "Idiot."

"what?"

Song Zhi looked at the two of them and smiled helplessly.

She walked to Fu Lu's side, stood on the terrace, and looked out over the entire city.

"Ninth Brother, this place is not bad, is it? Look, that building is where I work."

As he spoke, he excitedly pointed to the building across the street.

Fu Lu nodded: "If you like it, that's good. When are you moving in?"

"I need to go back and tell my dad to bring him here first. He's been wanting to leave the hospital for a long time."

"Contact me when the time comes, and I'll help you move."

Song Zhi smiled and nodded.

The four people walked out of the residential area.

After watching Fu Lu and Song Zhi get into the car, Wei Yinuo turned to Xu Ning and asked, "Ning, what did my uncle say to you?"

"Your uncle said he wants to buy my house."

Wei Yinuo was somewhat surprised: "Huh?"

Xu Ning sighed, "My house was just renovated, and I'm just waiting for the formaldehyde to dissipate."

Wei Yinuo snorted: "What? You don't want to sell?"

"I want to, I have to think about it, hehe."

Wei Yinuo nodded in satisfaction: "That's more like it. Sigh, I really envy my aunt for meeting such a good man as my uncle."

"You'll encounter it too."

Xu Ning made a solemn promise.

Wei Yinuo scoffed: "Come on, my priority right now is studying, I'm not going to have a relationship."

As he spoke, he limped toward Xu Ning's sports car.

She got into the passenger seat and saw Xu Ning still standing there in a daze. She waved to him and said, "Ning, what are you daydreaming about? Hurry up, I'm so hungry, I need to go get something to eat."

Xu Ning suddenly snapped out of her daze and walked towards Wei Yinuo with a smile.

"You're here! I'll take you to eat something delicious."

……

Fu Lu followed Song Zhi to the hospital. When the old lady saw him, she was somewhat surprised: "Little Fu, you, what brings you here?"

As he spoke, he looked at Song Zhi, who was standing behind Fu Lu, with a completely bewildered expression.

Song Zhi scratched her head awkwardly: "Grandma, he came to visit my dad."

Fu Lu smiled and called out to people.

The old lady quickly invited the person into the ward.

After Fu Lu went inside, the old lady pulled Song Zhi aside and asked in a low voice, "What happened between you two? Didn't you say you broke up before?"

Song Zhi smiled somewhat awkwardly: "We've made up again."

The old lady was stunned for a moment, then reached out and patted Song Zhi's shoulder: "You silly child, you made it sound so convincing back then, I really thought you had broken up."

Song Zhi took the old lady's hand and said coquettishly, "Grandma, aren't you happy that we've made up?"

"I'm happy, of course I'm happy! So, are you still planning to come back to Fengcheng with me?"

Song Zhi chuckled and said, "No, I'll arrange for my dad to be discharged from the hospital in a couple of days. I've already found a place to stay."

The old lady was somewhat surprised: "Weren't you living there just fine?"

"My place was too small, just two small rooms, not enough. This place I rent has three bedrooms, and it's close to my workplace."

When the old lady heard that Song Zhi was renting a room, she couldn't help but sigh: "Little Zhi, I'm sorry to have to make you suffer."

Song Zhi smiled and said, "What grievance do I have?"

The old lady's eyes reddened, and her aunt choked up: "If your father had seen through Zhao Man's intentions earlier, he wouldn't have ended up going bankrupt."

Seeing the old lady's guilty expression, Song Zhi quickly comforted her, "It's alright, Grandma, I think things are fine now, as long as you and Dad are healthy."

The old lady took Song Zhi's hand, "We've dragged you into this. We thought that if you married Fu Lu, we could give you enough dignity, but in the end..."

At this point, the old lady sighed.

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi felt a lump in her throat.

She fought back tears and said, "No, don't talk nonsense."

As she spoke, she looked at Fu Lu, who was chatting with his father, and said with a smile, "Besides, Fu Lu won't look down on me because of my family, so don't worry about me."

After Fu Lu left the hospital, Song Zhi stayed to keep him company.

It wasn't until after 9 p.m. that the old lady urged her to go back. Song Zhi told the old lady to rest there, as the old lady was getting on in years and running around wasn't good for her health.

Back in her small apartment, Song Zhi washed up and prepared to rest.

As soon as I stepped into the bathroom, my phone rang.

She turned and walked to the bedside, picked up her phone and looked at it.

It was a call from Attorney Fu.

Song Zhi answered the phone: "Hello, Ninth Brother."

"Are you home yet?"

Fu Lu's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Song Zhi responded softly, "Yes, I just got home. I'm going to take a shower and rest."

"Get some rest. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."

Upon hearing Fu Lu's words, Song Zhi suddenly remembered that tomorrow was Zhou Fu's birthday banquet.

"Ninth Brother, I don't really want to go."

Song Zhi spoke into the phone as she walked toward the restroom.

Standing in front of the mirror, she put her phone on speakerphone and started brushing her teeth.

"Why don't you want to go anymore?"

Fu Lu's voice came through.

"Socially anxious."

Song Zhi spoke.

Because of the toothpaste in her mouth, Song Zhi's pronunciation was a little unclear, but Fu Lu could still guess what she was saying.

He chuckled softly, "I'm here, don't be afraid."

Song Zhi sighed heavily, and just as she was about to speak, she suddenly heard rustling sounds coming from outside the bedroom.

Could there be mice in the house?

That's impossible. This is a high-rise building; how could a rat possibly get up here?

Moreover, she has lived here for so long and has never heard of any house having rats.

Song Zhi thought she had misheard. She held her breath and listened carefully.

It was indeed a rustling sound.

Seeing that Song Zhi didn't speak, Fu Lu on the other end of the phone asked again, "Song Xiaozhi, what are you doing?"

Fu Lu's words brought Song Zhi back to her senses.

She whispered, "Ninth Brother, there's a noise coming from my house."
