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

Fu Yanshi's tone was so intimidating that even though they were friends for many years, Zhou Size was still frightened by his appearance.

"Her mother passed away..."

Fu Yanshi suddenly stood up from his chair. "When did this happen?"

“It’s been a while…” Zhou Size didn’t dare to lie to him, so he could only speak ambiguously to avoid Fu Yanshi investigating the truth.

Although Zhou Size wasn't involved in Xu Qinghuan's mother's death, he had some idea of ​​what was going on.

He didn't mean to hide it from Fu Yanshi, but... no matter what, the other side of the story is still his biological mother! Even if Fu Yanshi found out, what could he do? Besides endless regret and guilt towards Xu Qinghuan, there was nothing else he could do, so it was better to know nothing at all.

"How did you find out about this?" Fu Yanshi immediately sensed something was wrong.

He had asked Secretary Lin to investigate for so many years, but they hadn't found a single clue about Xu Qinghuan. If he hadn't met her by chance, he probably still wouldn't know her whereabouts! However, Zhou Size knew about her mother's death!

That is to say...

Xu Qinghuan's mother must have passed away four years ago when she left! This was before she left the Fu family business, and possibly even before she told Xu Qinghuan about the divorce.

"I ran into Xu Qinghuan, she told me! She told me not to tell you, but I didn't think it was a big deal, so I didn't tell you." Zhou Size shrank back, afraid that he might say something else and then he wouldn't be able to cover it up, which would be terrible. "Um... um, I have something to do! I'll go first. Don't think too much about it. Anyway, Xu Qinghuan gave up on you first. What happened to her mother wasn't your fault, so why do you care so much!"

After saying that, he ran away quickly.

He walked hurriedly, as if he were afraid of being chased and killed.

Fu Yanshi, with his thick eyebrows furrowed, immediately took out his phone and dialed Secretary Lin's number.

"Go and investigate Xu Qinghuan—"

“President Fu,” Secretary Lin said directly, “Assistant Xu is fine now. She can be discharged after one more night of observation. She has two men taking care of her. One of them is mixed-race and seems to be a company supervisor named Ryan. The other is her company’s Manager Wang. I have already instructed that the person who assaulted her be severely punished. He won’t be out for at least a year and a half.”

"..." His fluent reply left Fu Yanshi speechless.

It turns out everyone knew...

He couldn't bring himself to truly give up on Xu Qinghuan, nor could he truly ignore her!

Even after Secretary Lin confirmed it repeatedly and he told him not to check anymore, he still went to find out the latest developments.

You can't just say he's overly curious...

"That's not what I'm asking."

“President Fu, I checked. These two men are Assistant Xu’s colleagues. They usually take good care of her and have a good relationship. However, it’s only because of Assistant Xu’s hard work attitude. They don’t have any other personal relationship in private.”

“That’s not what I’m asking about!” Fu Yanshi frowned, then suddenly relaxed his shoulders. “Forget it, you don’t need to look into her anymore, and I don’t want to know anything about her.”

Secretary Lin paused for a few seconds, then asked, "What about her friend, that Fu Jiajia?"

"..."

"It seems she's married and has a child. To be precise, I don't know if she's actually married, but she has a daughter. She took her daughter to see Assistant Xu today! The hospital gave me a surveillance video; would you like to take a look?"
