That's right, that's Fu Yanshi's phone number!

Xu Qinghuan will never forget this string of numbers in her entire life.

Why would he call himself? More importantly, how did he know his number?

"Huanhuan, why aren't you answering the phone?" Fu Jiajia, in the passenger seat, turned to look at her and realized something was wrong. "Why do you look so pale? Who called?"

"Fu Yanshi's..."

Nie Zhisen, who was driving, slammed on the brakes.

"What?! Whose is it?"

"Fu Yanshi." As he spoke, the phone stopped ringing, and the screen showed a missed call.

Nie Zhisen looked at Xu Qinghuan in the rearview mirror, and a tense atmosphere spread.

"Could he have found out something?"

Fu Jiajia simply stretched out her hand, "Give me your phone, I'll answer it! Let's see what he wants. I'll pretend I don't know it's him, anyway I don't know his phone number, and your phone number is registered with my ID, so it's normal for me to answer it."

Xu Qinghuan just stared at the screen without responding.

It wasn't until Tuantuan and Yuanyuan realized that something was wrong with their mother that they came over and grabbed her clothes.

Tuantuan blinked. "Mommy... what's wrong?"

Yuanyuan was a bit smarter. After a quick glance, she took out her phone and said, "Mommy, did that person bully you again? I'll get revenge for you right now!"

"Don't."

Xu Qinghuan finally spoke, "No, let me calm down."

She needed to know the purpose of Fu Yanshi's call to her, at least to find out how far he suspected or investigated.

"Zhi Sen, you take the children and go first."

"No! I can't leave you alone!" Nie Zhisen couldn't bear to leave Xu Qinghuan alone in Beizhen City just because he thought about how those people had harmed Xu Qinghuan's mother.

If they can strike once, they can strike again!

"It's alright, I'll come find you soon!"

After saying that, Xu Qinghuan patted her son and daughter on the shoulder, then opened the car door and got out.

Nie Zhisen was about to follow when Fu Jiajia stopped him.

“Brother! It’s normal for Fu Yanshi to be suspicious this time because Yuanyuan suddenly appeared in the public eye. He might just be asking routinely to see which woman he slept with gave birth to his son! If Huanhuan refuses to answer the phone and tries to avoid this matter, then the suspicion will be even stronger.”

Nie Zhisen frowned, his handsome face grim. "He still has the nerve to ask Huanhuan! If it weren't for him, Huanhuan's mother wouldn't have died!"

"Why are we still talking about this now?" Fu Jiajia opened the car door, moved to the back seat, and hugged the two children on either side. "Brother, all we need to do is protect these two little ones. That's the biggest help we can give Huanhuan! Let's not interfere with anything else. Let her handle it herself. If she needs us, she'll ask."

"Jiajia, I—"

“I know what you’re thinking, but Huanhuan has made her rejection very clear. You need to set boundaries for some things.”

Nie Zhisen remained silent for a long time before starting the car again.

"Yes, I should set limits."

……

Summer evenings should be cool and pleasant, but tonight the wind is a bit strong.

Xu Qinghuan straightened her clothes, found a bench at a bus stop, and sat down.

Looking at the missed call on her phone screen, she took several deep breaths before her fingertips trembled slightly as she dialed back.
