"That's good. I'll find an excuse to visit you at the Li family's house in a couple of days. Do you need me to bring anything?"

"No need, you can do it."

“Okay!” Cheng Lu replied readily.

……

Han Xin sat alone in the bar, drinking alone in a melancholy mood.

Recalling the scene of Li Siyuan taking Shen Xuan back, her heart was filled with a sense of loss.

She was so drunk that she was unconscious, and she staggered down the street, attracting the attention of many people.

When An Zihao found her, she was lying in an alley, being harassed by a group of thugs.

Her clothes were scattered all over the floor, torn and tattered.

An Zihao's appearance startled the group, who abandoned Han Xin and fled in panic.

He stared at Han Xin, his brows furrowed, his anger surging.

"Xin Xin, wake up!" He kept shaking her shoulders, trying to wake her up.

Han Xin mumbled groggily, "Again, let's keep drinking, we won't leave until we're drunk."

He suddenly realized that Han Xin had been drinking with those bad people to this extent, and didn't even know what had happened to her.

If he had found her any later, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

He took off his coat and gently draped it over her shoulders.

Then, he picked her up and placed her in the passenger seat.

Han Xin was deeply drunk and barely responded to An Zihao's calls.

An Zihao took out his phone and dialed Li Siyuan's number.

At this moment, Li Siyuan was sitting in the Li family's living room, his mind filled with the thought that Shen Xuan wanted to leave him for another man, and his anger was growing.

Wearing pajamas and a coat, Shen Xuan walked out of the bedroom and stood on the stairs, looking down at Li Siyuan. A pang of sadness welled up in her heart.

Holding a water glass, she saw him sitting there with his back to her, so she calmly went downstairs and into the kitchen to prepare something to make.

Li Siyuan turned to look at her, his gaze falling on her back, his inner irritation intensifying.

He stared silently at her retreating figure, when the silence was broken by the ringing of his cell phone inside his coat.

"What is it?" he asked expressionlessly.

Shen Xuan stirred the contents of her cup with a spoon, the sound of his phone call ringing in her ear. Her gaze was fixed ahead, as if she were lost in thought.

Li Siyuan suddenly stood up from the sofa, his face grave, and asked, "What are you talking about? What happened to Han Xin?"

Upon hearing the name "Han Xin," her hand trembled, splashing water and scalding the back of her hand. Only then did she come to her senses and realize that the back of her hand was already bright red.

"Li Siyuan, Han Xin was almost in danger. You need to find those people quickly, or I'll never forgive you."

An Zihao gripped the steering wheel, hung up the call, tossed his phone aside, and sped away.

Li Siyuan's face turned ashen in an instant.

Shen Xuan saw it all, but chose to remain silent.

He was always this anxious whenever Han Xin was involved.

She was already used to this.

Just as Li Siyuan was about to leave, he noticed that Shen Xuan's gaze was fixed on him, and there was an indescribable emotion in her eyes.

He immediately stopped and turned to look at her.

Shen Xuan unconsciously stroked the back of her hand, her face calm and expressionless.

She said calmly, "You should go. I can take care of myself. She needs you now, so you should go and be with her!"

After saying that, she turned around and steadily went upstairs, leaving behind a quiet room.

Li Siyuan stared at the scene, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

He had finally found her, and if he left her now, it would surely upset her, and all his efforts would have been in vain.

But if he doesn't go and see Han Xin, how can he establish himself in his circle of friends?

An Zihao carried Han Xin into a villa.

"Young Master An, what's wrong...?" The servant by the door hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Prepare a set of pajamas for her." After giving the instructions, An Zihao carried her straight upstairs.

Mrs. An was applying a hand mask when she saw her son carrying something upstairs. Before she could get a closer look, she saw him enter the room and couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"

"Madam, the young master has brought back a woman..."

"What?!" Madam An exclaimed in surprise.

She curiously peered upwards, secretly delighted.

My son has finally made progress. Did he bring a daughter-in-law home?

After settling Han Xin in, An Zihao dialed Peng Yanzhou's number.

"Brother, come to my house. Xin Xin isn't doing well. Come and take a look."

Peng Yanzhou has some medical knowledge, and although he is not an expert, he can be of help in an emergency. Therefore, An Zihao asked him for assistance.

"Tell me more specifically so I can bring what I need."

"She drank a lot of alcohol and is unconscious now. She may have been drugged. You can check her out and you'll know."

"Wait a moment!" Peng Yanzhou ended the call.

At that moment, a servant entered carrying a nightgown.

Madam An followed them upstairs and saw that the woman in her son's room had her clothes in disarray.

An Zihao asked the servants to help him change, and Madam An immediately stepped forward and pulled her son: "Son, come here for a moment."

"what happened?"

"Who is this girl?" Mrs. An asked earnestly.

"Mom, she's my friend. I'm sorry you had to see this. But given my position, I can't take her to a hotel, otherwise it would attract media attention and be bad for Xin Xin."

"I get it, what I mean is, is she really your...?"

"Mom, Xin Xin is just a regular friend of mine. We haven't gotten to that point yet."

"Oh, her name is Xin Xin!" Mrs. An continued to ask curiously.

"Yes, that's Li Siyuan's cousin, Han Xin. You should remember her, right?"

"What?" Madam An was slightly taken aback. "You mean Han Xin, who gave the second young mistress of the Li family a hard time as soon as she returned to the country, and almost caused her to get a divorce?"

She had already heard a lot of gossip about the wealthy from Li Shulian, so she was no stranger to Han Xin.

"Mom, it's not what you think right now. They're just joking. Besides, Shen Xuan is still with the Li family. If there were anything between them, Li Siyuan would have been with Xin Xin long ago. So, don't speculate. There's nothing to it."

Mrs. An looked at him with some skepticism, "Really?"

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Peng Yanzhou. Surely you don't doubt him."

Mrs. An was still skeptical: "Then what's wrong with her? Why is she like this?"

Left with no other choice, An Zihao thought for a moment and made up an excuse, "Mom, I'm a public figure, and Xin Xin is an investor in my project. She's always running around with me. You know, the bigger the tree, the more the wind blows. There are a lot of people outside who are jealous of us, so she got into trouble. Luckily, I showed up in time to save her. She was injured because of me, and I can't just stand by and watch her die. Our son can't do that."

Mrs. An finally believed it, thinking that her son's career had become increasingly successful since he met this woman, and she never expected that this woman would have this effect.

Now, the more she looked at the woman inside, the more pleasing she became.

It's so rare to find a woman who can help her son's career; she has to perform well to help her son win over this prospective daughter-in-law.

Just as the servant came out of the room, Peng Yanzhou rushed in.

"Young Master An, everything is ready." The servant finished speaking and withdrew.

Peng Yanzhou went upstairs, with An Zihao leading the way.
