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

Upon hearing this, Fu Lu was taken aback. He had been prepared to continue berating Zhou Yan, but after hearing this, he suddenly felt something was amiss.

"what's wrong with you?"

His tone softened slightly.

"It seems we can only be brothers, and you can't be my uncle."

Zhou Yan's words completely stunned Fu Lu.

"You've had too much fake alcohol? What nonsense are you spouting?"

Fu Lu thought Zhou Yan must have drunk too much to say such nonsensical things.

“I’m not talking nonsense. I’m giving up. You’re right. I really am not good enough for Yinuo.”

Fu Lu listened to his self-deprecating words and was speechless: "Where are you now? Still abroad?"

"No, I've been back for a while now."

"where is it?"

"I'm meeting up with friends, I'll hang up now."

Without waiting for Fu Lu to speak, he hung up the phone.

Fu Lu was filled with doubt about Zhou Yan's claim of having a gathering with friends, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

So, he dialed Han Zhou's number.

As soon as the call connected, Fu Lu got straight to the point: "Han Zhou, do you have time now? I'd like to ask you for a favor."

Upon hearing this, Han Zhou couldn't help but tease, "Oh, Ninth Brother, you have to ask for help now? What's wrong? Tell me about it."

"Go to Zhou Yan's house now and check on him. Something's not right with him."

Upon hearing this, Han Zhou muttered somewhat reluctantly, "Why do I have to go? I don't want to go."

"Are you going or not? If you're not going, then I'll have to let Koike go."

Han Zhou glanced at the sleeping boy on the sofa and refused without even thinking: "You dare."

"Then you go, I'm worried something might happen to him."

"What could possibly happen to a grown man like him?"

"I'll call Xiaochi."

"No, I'll go, I'll go, okay? Don't call Xiaochi and bother him."

Fu Lu received Han Zhou's reply and responded with satisfaction: "Then go now, and contact me anytime if anything happens."

Han Zhou responded impatiently, hung up the phone, glanced at the still sleeping boy, got up, and walked step by step towards Gu Chi Le.

Han Zhou stood by the sofa, looking down at the sleeping boy. He reached out and gently touched the boy's cheek.

Gu Lechi, who had been asleep, felt a tickle. He groggily opened his eyes, looked at the man in front of him, and pouted in dissatisfaction: "What are you doing? I was sleeping."

"I'm sorry for disturbing you. Go back to sleep. I have something to do and I need to go out for a bit."

When Gu Chile heard Han Zhou take it, she propped herself up and sat up: "Where are you going?"

Perhaps because she had just woken up, Gu Chile's voice was a little slurred, making Han Zhou's heart itch.

"Ninth Brother asked me to go check on Zhou Yan, but I don't know what's going on?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Chile immediately became interested: "Then I'll go with you. It's been so long since I've seen Brother Yan."

Han Zhou reached out and ruffled his slightly messy hair, smiling as he asked, "Not going to sleep?"

Gu Chile shook her head: "No, no, let's go."

As he spoke, he hurriedly stood up and walked towards the door.

Han Zhou's smile deepened as he looked at Han Zhou's bright red ears.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Mei Ting felt a sense of smugness as she watched her video once again trend on social media, and this time the Fu family was also being heavily criticized.

Just then, Li Ming's phone suddenly received a text message from Song Zhi. He opened it and his expression instantly turned serious.

He couldn't help but feel worried, because if this matter continued to escalate, it would definitely not do him any good.

After much deliberation, Li Ming finally decided to try and persuade Mei Ting.

"Honey, I think we should leave this at that and stop making a fuss."

However, upon hearing this, Mei Ting's face immediately darkened. She glared at Li Ming and said sharply, "What? You don't want me to touch that bitch, do you?"

Li Ming quickly explained, "No, honey, I just feel that if you keep making a scene like this, things might become increasingly difficult to handle."

Mei Ting, however, was unconvinced. She snorted and said, "I'm going to make this situation spiral out of control. Doesn't she like to seduce men? Then I'll let the whole internet see this bitch's true colors!"

Li Ming had no idea that Mei Ting would act so recklessly, and he became increasingly worried.

He worried that if Mei Ting continued to act recklessly, it would not only cause Song Zhi more trouble, but he himself would also be implicated.

No, I've worked so hard for so many years to finally get this high-paying job, I can't let it be ruined like this.

His face suddenly darkened, and he issued a stern warning to Mei Ting without any mercy.

"I'm warning you, if you keep acting like this, we can forget about getting married."

Upon hearing this, Mei Ting's face showed an expression of disbelief. She stared at him with wide eyes, hardly believing what she had just heard.

Her lips trembled slightly, and her voice quivered as she asked, "What did you say?"

Li Ming's expression remained cold. He said without backing down, "Delete all those videos, and this matter ends here. Otherwise, we'll have to break up."

This time, Mei Ting finally understood what he meant.

Her emotions flared instantly, and she angrily pointed at Li Ming, yelling, "Li Ming, you ungrateful beast! You actually want to break up with me? Just for that bitch Song Zhi, you're going to dump me? Don't you have any conscience at all?"

Li Ming seemed impatient with Mei Ting's accusations. He snorted and retorted, "I think you're crazy. There's absolutely no relationship between me and Song Zhi."

"You dare to do it but not admit it?" Mei Ting continued to question relentlessly.

Li Ming's tone grew increasingly cold: "I said no, and that's it. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."

"What kind of attitude is this? If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be where you are today. You ungrateful wretch..."

"Enough, Mei Ting. You were the one who volunteered to take care of my mother back then. What does that have to do with me? Stop trying to morally blackmail me."

Mei Ting looked shocked: "You're saying I was eager to be with you? Hahaha, Li Ming, you scum, how could you say that?"

Mei Ting became increasingly angry as she spoke, and she directly reached out and hit and pinched Li Ming.

Li Ming got angry and slapped Mei Ting across the face: "You crazy woman, break up with me, I want to break up with you."

Mei Ting covered her slapped face, her eyes bloodshot as she glared at Li Ming: "You hit me? Li Ming, what right do you have to hit me? How dare you hit me?"

Seeing her hysterical outburst, Li Ming felt a bit annoyed, snorted coldly, and left directly within the province.

Mei Ting slumped to the ground, glaring fiercely in the direction Li Ming had left.

She gripped the hem of her skirt tightly with both hands.

Since Li Ming is afraid, she's going to make a big fuss about it.

She will make Li Ming regret it.

Thinking of this, Mei Ting hastily wiped away the tears on her face, picked up her phone, logged into her short video account, and started a live stream...
