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

Zhou Sze quickly said, "It wasn't her, don't go after her! You've killed someone's mother, how could you do such a thing?"

Although Zhou Size had previously disapproved of Fu Yanshi being with Xu Qinghuan, thinking he was being irrational and that his career would be hindered by his relationship.

But he never intended to force Xu Qinghuan to commit murder for money!

"We didn't harm her mother. Her mother died because her emotional instability triggered her illness!"

"You and I both know the truth! We've been friends for so many years. I haven't told Yan Shi about this and I've kept it a secret for you. That's all I can do. Don't try to use me for anything else."

After saying that, Zhou Size hung up.

Xia Wanyu stared at her phone, its screen now black, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

Something is wrong!

She felt that Zhou Size's reaction just now was clearly to protect Xu Qinghuan. They had met before when they were abroad, and at that time he did not show any signs of favoring Xu Qinghuan. But now he kept telling her not to touch Xu Qinghuan anymore.

This can only mean that... Xu Qinghuan reappeared during this period.

Something must have happened between them again.

"Xu Qinghuan, oh Xu Qinghuan... why are you so persistent?"

……

The next morning, Xu Qinghuan went directly from the hotel to the construction site.

When she saw Ryan standing there talking to Manager Wang from afar, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Xu Qinghuan thought she had made things clear enough with Ryan, and he should understand that she wouldn't consider him. Logically, he should have already left the country, so why was he still here?

The first person to see Xu Qinghuan was Manager Wang. He waved with a smile and then walked towards her with Ryan.

“If you’re not feeling well, you don’t have to come to the construction site. It’s dusty here, and it’s not suitable for women to come.” It’s unclear what Ryan and Manager Wang said, but now his attitude towards Xu Qinghuan is becoming more and more respectful.

That's right, it's all about being respectful and using a flattering tone.

There is no exaggeration.

This is not how a superior should treat a subordinate.

“Many things here need to be supervised and finalized because I am strict about details. I am worried that they will cut corners when I am not around.”

"And me too, you can just tell me what to do!" Manager Wang said, glancing at Ryan before quickly adding, "Oh dear, I just remembered I have something to do! You guys chat, I'll be going now."

Without waiting for Xu Qinghuan to say anything more, he turned and left, as if someone was chasing him.

With Manager Wang gone, only Xu Qinghuan and Ryan remained, and an awkward atmosphere spread between them...

"Um... well, I'll go first too—"

"You don't even have a husband, right?"

"..."

Xu Qinghuan didn't expect Ryan to say that so directly.

She didn't react at first, just stared at him blankly.

"Your so-called husband is just something you made up so you wouldn't be pursued by anyone," Ryan continued.

"You're overthinking it. I have more than just a husband; I also have a daughter. You can't make that up, can you?"

Ryan smiled, a slight upturn to his thin lips.

"You do have a daughter, but she's not two years old, right?"

"...What do you know!"

“Zhou Size told me everything about you and President Fu.” Ryan’s eyes gradually filled with panic and helplessness as he looked at her. “Including your marital history.”
