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

Chen Lu was rendered speechless by Zhang Ma's barrage of criticism. She could only look at Fu Lu with a flushed face and say in a pitiful tone, "Ninth Brother, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Zhang Ma interrupted her, "You call everyone 'brother,' have you no shame? Our young master has a wife and children, are you thinking of becoming a mistress?"

"You, you old hag, shut up."

"Am I wrong? At such a young age, you're not learning good things, you're breaking up other people's families. Do your parents know?" She then shouted at the surrounding crowd, "Fellow reporters, quickly take a picture of this mistress and post it online! A champion? Someone with no moral compass like that doesn't deserve it..."

As Zhang Ma spoke, people around her took out their phones to record videos and take photos.

Seeing that Fu Lu didn't say a word for her, Chen Lu, with red eyes, covered her face and ran away.

Standing to the side, Song Zhi watched this scene with a wide grin, her mouth almost reaching her ears.

Seeing this, Zhou Yan curiously leaned over and whispered to Song Zhi, "Song Xiaozhi, your nanny is really amazing!"

Song Zhi smiled smugly and replied, "Of course, my Zhang Ma's fighting power is extraordinary."

Zhou Yan nodded in deep agreement, and even gave Zhang Ma a thumbs up, praising, "Auntie, you are really amazing!"

After being praised by Zhou Yan, Zhang Ma smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "I just can't stand people who knowingly act like thieves. They don't even look at themselves, yet they're so arrogant!"

Song Zhi smiled slightly upon hearing this, but did not say anything.

As if she hadn't said enough, Aunt Zhang continued, "Xiao Zhi, if you ever encounter someone like that again, just hand her over to me, and I'll take care of her for you!"

Song Zhi nodded quickly and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, I'm relieved to have you here!"

Song Zhi had previously worried that there would be a generation gap between her and Zhang Ma after Zhang Ma came, and that they would not get along well, but now it seems that she had worried too much.

At this moment, Fu Lu reached out and gently embraced Song Zhi: "Can we leave now?"

Song Zhi nodded, then suddenly felt her phone vibrate.

Song Zhi handed her phone to Fu Lu and said, "Here's your phone."

Fu Lu took the phone, glanced at the screen, and pressed the answer button in front of Song Zhi.

Seeing that Fu Lu had started making a phone call, Song Zhi smiled and greeted Zhou Yan before turning to leave.

Seeing Fu Lu hang up the phone, a sense of curiosity welled up inside her, so she stopped and turned around to ask, "Whose call was that?"

Fu Lu glanced at Song Zhi and calmly replied, "The old man called and told us to come over."

Song Zhi asked with some doubt, "Now?"

Fu Lu nodded and explained, "He said he would come over for lunch, but I declined."

Song Zhi frowned in confusion and asked, "Why?"

Fu Lu smiled slightly and replied, "Didn't we agree to go shopping?"

Song Zhi thought about it and felt that Fu Lu's words made sense, but she also felt that it was not good to refuse directly like this, so she suggested, "But he has already asked us to go shopping next time. Let's go first this time, otherwise it doesn't seem right not to go."

Fu Lu shook his head and insisted, "It's okay, let's go shopping first."

Song Zhi hesitated for a moment, still feeling uneasy, and said, "Let's go first, we can go shopping next time. Who knows what important things Dad might have to do."

Seeing Song Zhi's insistence, Fu Lu nodded and said, "There is indeed something. He asked us to pick up your father and grandmother and go over together."

Song Zhi's curiosity was completely piqued, and she quickly asked, "What is it?"

Fu Lu shook his head helplessly and replied, "He didn't say, he just told us to pick them up. If you don't want to go shopping, let's go pick them up now."

Song Zhi thought for a moment and said, "Let me make a phone call and ask first."

Fu Lu handed her his phone.

Song Zhi found the old lady's phone number in her contacts and dialed it directly. The old lady's kind voice quickly came from the other end of the line.

"Xiao Fu, what's up with your call?"

"It's me, Grandma."

"Xiao Zhi, what's wrong?"

When Song Zhi told the old lady about wanting to go to the Fu family's old house together, the old lady happily agreed.

After hanging up the phone, she rushed to the rented house to pick up the person.

When she arrived, she saw Song Jiachen squatting by the flower bed downstairs from afar.

He was wearing a simple white T-shirt and blue jeans, his head hanging down, seemingly lost in thought.

"Jiachen," she called softly.

Upon hearing the voice, Song Jiachen abruptly raised his head, and the moment his eyes met hers, his eyes lit up as if they had been lit.

"sister!"

He quickly stood up and strode towards her, a bright smile on his face.

Looking at the boy who was growing up, Song Zhi couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

They hadn't seen each other for several months, and when they met again, she noticed that Song Jiachen seemed to have grown taller and become more mature.

"Why did you come here?" Song Zhi asked with a smile.

Song Jiachen scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "I'm going abroad, so I came to see you and Dad."

"Going abroad?" Song Zhi looked surprised upon hearing this. "So sudden?"

Song Jiachen nodded without explaining the reason further, and Song Zhi did not press him for an answer.

"So when are you leaving?" she asked in turn.

"Leave tomorrow."

Song Jiachen's voice lowered slightly, "I really want to see my father, but I'm afraid he... won't see me."

Song Zhi was silent for a moment, then said gently, "Come up with me."

Song Jiachen looked at her hesitantly, seemingly unsure if this was appropriate.

"OK."

Song Zhi smiled encouragingly and said, "Let's go."

When Song's father's gaze fell on Song Jiachen, his face did not show much emotion, as if the person standing in front of him was just a stranger.

However, in stark contrast to Song's father was the old lady, who remained silent with a tense face, clearly not welcoming Song Jiachen's arrival.

Song Zhi noticed the awkward atmosphere and quickly gave Song Jiachen an encouraging look, as if to tell him not to be discouraged.

After receiving that look, Song Jiachen took a deep breath, mustered his courage, walked up to his father, and said softly, "Dad."

However, Song's father merely snorted coldly, completely ignoring Song Jiachen's greeting and not even glancing at him.

Song Jiachen did not back down. He continued, "I'm leaving the country tomorrow and may never come back, so I came here specifically to see you and Grandma."
