A popular female live streamer with a constant stream of wealthy patrons.

The implication is that she doesn't want to sacrifice her last shred of dignity.

Xia Wanyu smiled after hearing this.

"You will beg me, because your father has decided to take action against Xu Qinghuan."

Fu Yanshi frowned sharply, a look of surprise appearing on his usually stern and handsome face for the first time. "What did you say?!"

“At the banquet, you were different from before.” Xia Wanyu paused. “You have a weakness now.”

Xu Qinghuan is now his Achilles' heel!

Once a person has a weakness, they are no longer invincible and will have some reservations.

After Xia Wanyu left, Fu Yanshi had just returned when he saw Xu Qinghuan hurriedly walking out of the kitchen. "Something happened with my mother, I have to go there first! I can't have dinner with you."

"what happened?"

“I don’t know the specifics. The doctor called me and said that she had been agitated again and had a heart attack.”

Fu Yanshi instantly remembered what Xia Wanyu had just said, "I'll go with you."

"No need." Xu Qinghuan looked up at him. "My mother hasn't accepted you yet. I'm afraid that if she wakes up and sees you now, her emotions will become unstable again! Just wait for me at home. I'll come back as soon as she's alright."

"Then I'll take you to the hospital."

Seeing his insistence, Xu Qinghuan could not refuse any longer and could only nod.

When the car arrived at the hospital, Xu Qinghuan rushed inside without even having a chance to say goodbye.

Fu Yanshi watched her figure disappear from sight, then instead of leaving, he dialed his father's number.

After ringing a few times, the other end finally answered.

"what's up?"

"It was you who hurt Xu Qinghuan's mother."

Fu Huazhen just smiled and didn't answer. "Son, when will you realize just how big the gap is between you and that Xu Qinghuan? You two are not suitable for each other."

"I've said it before, Xu Qinghuan is my bottom line, and she can't be touched!"

Fu Yanshi gripped the steering wheel tightly, veins bulging, his dark eyes as deep as ink.

“If your mother heard this, she would be heartbroken. You’ve risked your own mother’s life for a woman. As her father, I have a responsibility to discipline you.” Fu Huazhen didn’t say much more, each word simple and clear. “Besides, I’ve already compromised. You just need to pretend with Xia Wanyu in front of your mother. I don’t care what you do with Xu Qinghuan in private! If that’s not enough, then… don’t blame me for going too far. You can protect Xu Qinghuan, but you can’t necessarily protect everyone around her, nor can you necessarily protect her reputation and standing in the business world.”

As the chairman of the Fu Group, it would be easy for him to ruin Xu Qinghuan! Even with Fu Yanshi backing her up, public opinion is a powerful force. No matter what efforts Xu Qinghuan makes, no one will pay attention or care! She will become nothing more than a pretty face in other people's eyes.

Given Xu Qinghuan's personality, she would probably go crazy.

Fu Yanshi was now certain that what happened to Xu Qinghuan's mother tonight was at his father's behest.

"Don't even think about her." He gritted his teeth, his jawline taut and sharp. "...I'll consider it."

"Alright, after all, I don't want things to get too tense between you and your son, or we'll become a laughing stock."

Not long after hanging up the phone, Fu Yanshi saw a message from Xu Qinghuan: "[I saw your car is still downstairs. Go back now. My mother is fine, don't worry! She was just startled.]"
