I won't.

[Because of your matter, President Fu rushed back to Beizhen overnight. Things are extremely urgent here in Hong Kong now, and he even said he'd be back in a few days. This proves that President Fu also wants to get to the bottom of this.]

Xu Qinghuan smiled, looking at the computer screen, somewhat confused.

Was Fu Yanshi doing this to clear his name more thoroughly, or was he worried that the truth would damage Xia Wanyu's reputation?

And what did you mean by saying "I want to protect you"?

She looked at it for a while, but didn't spend too much time dwelling on it.

Once prepared, Xu Qinghuan got up and left the office, heading directly to the legal department.

"Hello, is Attorney Xia Wanyu in the company today?" She saw a female employee from the legal department after getting off the elevator.

It was obvious that this person also knew about Xu Qinghuan and Xia Wanyu's affair. His eyes lit up as if he were watching a major drama unfold, showing a mixture of wariness and secret excitement.

"What do you want from her?"

"I'd like to speak with her privately regarding the company's cooperation in the investigation."

Xu Qinghuan remained neither humble nor arrogant, showing no sign of guilt.

The female employee rolled her eyes. "Then I'll go ask Attorney Xia. She's here, but she might not have time to see you."

"Okay, hard work."

Xu Qinghuan stood there and waited. After a while, she jogged over.

"Attorney Xia said you can just go there directly."

"Thank you."

She walked directly to Xia Wanyu's office door, knocked, and only went in after hearing the sound.

Xia Wanyu looked up and saw it was her, still smiling gently.

"I didn't expect you to come looking for me."

"Actually, I didn't expect it either." Xu Qinghuan looked at her face, which was somewhat similar to her own, and smiled. "To be honest, I was quite obtuse. When we first met, I didn't notice anything at all."

Xia Wanyu paused, her hand holding the pen still.

She moved a few seconds later.

"Do you think that day was the first time we met?"

Xu Qinghuan looked at her but didn't say anything.

Xia Wanyu stood up from behind her desk, walked up to her in her high heels, and smiled slightly.

"To be precise, that was the second time we met."

"..."

“I remember when you were in high school, you worked at a fast food restaurant after school. After learning about this from my father’s phone, I made a special trip to see you.” Xia Wanyu gently stroked her shoulder with her fingers, her tone as calm as if she were telling someone else’s story. “Do you know how happy I was to see you so thin and small, looking malnourished?”

Xu Qinghuan clenched her fist and looked up to meet her eyes.

"Only you and your daughter can be so brazen as to be mistresses!"

"What is a mistress? I ask you, what is a mistress? Have you ever received your father's love all these years? Has your father ever cared about your life or death?" Xia Wanyu sneered sarcastically. "It's just that in this era, your father can't unilaterally divorce you! He has brought up divorce so many times, even taking it to court, but your mother just wouldn't agree! Speaking of which, we're both women, and I feel quite sorry for her. She can only live her whole life with that marriage certificate."

"I feel sorry for your mother; she'll be stuck with the title of 'mistress' for the rest of her life!"

One sentence directly hit Xia Wanyu's sore spot.

She raised her hand to hit Xu Qinghuan, but this time, Xu Qinghuan was prepared.

He grabbed her wrist and pushed her hard, knocking her down and making her fall heavily to the ground.

In addition, Xia Wanyu's surgical incision had not yet healed, and the excruciating pain almost made her let out a subconscious cry of agony—

Suddenly, Xia Wanyu's office door was pushed open.

Fu Yanshi strode in, his handsome face grim.

"Xu Qinghuan, what are you doing here?"
