Touching her icy-cold skin, Nie Zhisen felt an indescribable pang of heartache.

"Only you?"

Didn't he come to be with you?

Nie Zhisen didn't say what he was going to say next, because he could already guess what Xu Qinghuan was thinking from her current state.

Although he didn't know what had happened, he was certain he wouldn't leave at this time, no matter how much Xu Qinghuan tried to drive him away.

"My mother was murdered."

Xu Qinghuan didn't answer his question, but instead stammered in a hoarse voice, "She must have been murdered..."

"Do you know something?" Nie Zhisen asked immediately. "Tell me, and I'll investigate for you! Don't worry, if someone really harmed Auntie, I will definitely not let them get away with it!"

Xu Qinghuan slowly raised her head and looked at him.

Suddenly, her shoulders slumped.

"What if it's someone from the Fu family... would we be able to find out?"

She was actually very scared, afraid that if the investigation found out, it would be because Fu Yanshi's parents had indeed instructed them to do it.

And even if they could find out, would they have a chance to bring down the Fu family? She suddenly remembered what her mother had told her before, and every word she said was true! The two families were so different; if the Fu family wanted to eliminate them completely, even she wouldn't be spared. This gap couldn't even be described as the arm being no match for the thigh! Where did she get the capital and confidence to resist?

Is it all because of Fu Yanshi?

How could I be so stupid! The opposing side are his biological parents! They are not just someone as important as Xia Wanyu herself!

Now what about me and Fu Yanshi...? What about the baby in my belly?

With so many things piling up, Xu Qinghuan had no idea where to begin! Her brain felt completely blocked and stagnant! The problem in front of her was the most difficult she had ever encountered in her life.

"The Fu family? The Fu Group?" Nie Zhisen's eyes widened in shock and disbelief. "You and Fu Yanshi weren't—"

"His family doesn't agree."

"I'm going to find them right now! Huanhuan, don't worry, I'm here, I'm not afraid of them."

Nie Zhisen turned to leave, but Xu Qinghuan used her meager strength to grab the corner of his clothes.

He turned his head to look at her pale face and gently shook his head.

"do not go."

"But--"

"I'm just guessing; I have no evidence."

Nie Zhisen frowned. "What about Fu Yanshi? He should come and give you an explanation! Even if it wasn't done by the Fu family, he should still be by your side!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Qinghuan lowered her eyes, "I can't get through to him on the phone..."

"..."

"You should go back too. Don't worry about me. I'm just... just having a hard time accepting it right now, but I know I have to be strong. There are many things waiting for me."

She has no family left in this world; her mother's funeral arrangements and the follow-up care at the hospital are all waiting for her to handle.

Xu Qinghuan knew, she knew everything.

She could even calmly think of not dragging Nie Zhisen into this matter and causing him to be implicated.

"At this point, how can you expect me to leave you in the hospital and just go?" The more Xu Qinghuan tried to put on a brave face, the more heartbroken Nie Zhisen became!

He would prefer that Xu Qinghuan could vent her emotions, cry hysterically, or even hit people like a madwoman!

Don't keep it all bottled up inside, don't be so silent and quiet!

"You have no obligation to help me with anything."

“Even if we’re friends, I won’t watch you be alone!” Nie Zhisen said in a deep breath. “How about this, I’ll stay with you until you get in touch with Fu Yan, okay?”

Xu Qinghuan pursed her lips and remained silent.

Nie Zhisen frowned. "Huanhuan! I beg you, please let me stay with you, okay?"
