She goes crazy, he'll cover for her; the darling of the group is someone no one dares to mess w

Wen Yang's smile vanished instantly, replaced by an icy expression.

Fang Li, sitting opposite her, remained completely unresponsive, her eyes lowered as she rubbed the glass in her hand.

Ji Tiantian looked at this and then that with some trepidation.

Wu Zhongquan released the woman beside him, took two steps closer to Fang Li, leaned down to look at her, and said in a somewhat sinister tone, "Why don't you tell me, Miss Xu?"

The words "Miss Xu" were spoken slowly and deliberately, carrying a hint of hidden anger.

Fang Li paused in her hand, which was stroking the cup. Her slightly furrowed brows relaxed gently. She turned to look at Wu Zhongquan and raised her lips in a smirk: "Mr. Wu, you already know, so why are you asking? Are you trying to avenge your sister?"

The woman before him had a cold gaze, bright and clear eyes, and perfectly proportioned features. Unlike other women who wore heavy makeup, she was simply stunningly beautiful with just a touch of powder.

Wu Zhongquan stared at her face for a long time, and then suddenly chuckled: "What do you take me for, Miss Xu? Si Rou brought this on herself. She deserves to be punished for her mistakes. Why should I stand up for her?"

"As for Miss Xu, since she was quite frightened, I, as a member of the Wu family, should apologize to you out of both courtesy and reason."

Hearing him say that, Fang Li's straight eyebrows furrowed slightly.

She looked at Wen Yang beside her, and Wen Yang also looked at her with a solemn expression.

"When Mr. Wu apologizes, does he mean it on his own behalf or on behalf of the entire Wu family?"

Fang Li looked at him and chuckled, "If it were me, I would have no connection with Mr. Wu, so why would I apologize? If it were on behalf of the Wu family... Mr. Wu, are you sure the Wu family would want to apologize to me now?"

Wu Zhongquan's smile faltered slightly, and his gaze gradually darkened.

"Every wrong has its source and every debt its debtor. I will find whoever made the mistake. Mr. Wu is not Wu Sirou after all. I would rather hear her apologize."

Given the Wu family's current situation, Wu Zhongquan should never have said that.

Although the incident was caused by Wu Sirou, the Wu family ultimately suffered more losses. As a member of the Wu family, Wu Zhongquan should hate Fang Li to the extreme, so why would he take the initiative to apologize to her?

Unlike Fang Li's indifference, Wen Yang felt uneasy and stared warily at Wu Zhongquan.

Upon hearing Fang Li's words, Wu Zhongquan's expression changed instantly. His initial smile vanished, and his narrow eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of coldness.

"Heh." He suddenly laughed. "Miss Xu is indeed different from others, unlike my cousin who is as stupid as a pig and causes trouble everywhere."

Stupid as a pig?

Wen Yang and Fang Li exchanged a glance. It was really strange for their cousin to talk about his cousin like that.

"Ms. Xu," Wu Zhongquan said, taking another step closer to Fang Li, "Have you found a studio yet? I turned down several other offers for you, and I've been waiting for your reply."

The moment he approached, Fang Li had already turned around without making a sound.

Wen Yang, who was opposite her, had already stood up immediately and stepped in front of Fang Li to block her way.

"We've already found a studio, thank you for your concern, Mr. Wu. Now that it's our turn, we'll stop talking to you for now. Please make yourself at home."

After saying that, without waiting for Wu Zhongquan's reaction, she pulled Fang Li and walked into the store.

Ji Tiantian hurriedly and timidly followed behind.

Looking at Fang Li, whose figure was slender and graceful even from behind, Wu Zhongquan's eyes narrowed, and a dark undercurrent flashed in his eyes.

"Brother Quan?"

“全哥！”

The woman stomped her foot in anger, and Wu Zhongquan finally came to his senses.

"Everyone's gone, why are you still looking!"

Wu Zhongquan's eyes flickered slightly, and when he looked at the woman's heavily made-up face again, he immediately lost some interest, but he still smiled as before: "Don't be angry, didn't you want to eat Japanese food? Let's go."

Wu Zhongquan's appearance did not have much impact on the three of them.

The congee shop's food was good; although it wasn't quite as good as Tan Palace, it was much better than the average shop.

The three of them chatted and ate in a relaxed atmosphere, finishing their meal in just over half an hour.

After finishing their meal, Fang Li paid the bill. Just as Wen Yang suggested going downstairs for a stroll, her phone rang.

After hanging up the phone, her beautiful face immediately lost its luster.

"I can't go sightseeing anymore. My boss called and told me to change my flight and go back right now."

"What job is so urgent?"

"It's an industry summit, and they say a lot of industry leaders will be there, and they've also invited quite a few popular celebrities. How could our company let such a big event slip by? So there's nothing we can do." She shrugged, looking helpless.

Fang Li frowned, somewhat reluctant: "Alright, then I'll call a car to take you."

Wen Yang: "No need, I'll send my colleagues the address and they'll come pick me up later. We'll go together."

“Pear…” She pouted and opened her arms to hug Fang Li. “Take care of yourself. I’ll come to see you when I have time.”

"Ah."

"Tell your boss, Mr. Han, that even though he's rich and powerful, if he dares to bully you, I won't let him get away with it!"

Fang Li smiled and said, "I understand."

"Don't laugh, I'm serious!"

The two let go of each other, and Fang Li looked at her and said, "I'm serious too, so don't worry, he won't bully me."

"As expected, she's forgotten her best friend now that she has a man. She's already speaking up for him so quickly." Wen Yang pouted sourly.

Fang Li chuckled helplessly, "When did I speak up for him! I promise you, if he dares to bully me, I'll tell you right away and let you stand up for me, okay?"

"Get lost, your man is so awesome, I don't have that ability."

...The car arrived shortly afterward.

Wen Yang waved and got into the car. Even after the door closed, she leaned against the window with a look of reluctance on her face.

"Sweetie, I'm leaving now. Remember to take good care of your sister Fang Li. If anything happens, be sure to call me and I'll get help!"

Ji Tiantian was also a little reluctant to see Wen Yang leave, and obediently nodded: "Don't worry, Sister Yang, I will definitely take good care of Sister Fang Li."

The three waved, and the car slowly started moving.

Before long, it merged into the traffic and disappeared from sight.

Without Wen Yang, the "warm-hearted baby," the atmosphere between Fang Li and Ji Tiantian was noticeably colder.

Fang Li stared in the direction Wen Yang had left, then after a moment Ji Tiantian spoke up, "Sister Fang Li, shall we... still go shopping?"

Fang Li turned around: "If you want to go shopping, shall we go for a while?"

"I think it's Sister Fang Li."

Fang Li smiled and frowned. This girl was quite open in front of Wen Yang, but why was she so cautious in front of her? Did she have a scary face?

"You don't need to worry about me. Go if you want. It's after get off work now. Even if I'm your boss, I can't exploit you during your rest time."

Ji Tiantian smiled shyly, pursed her lips, and said, "I think our studio has just been established, and there are still many things to do, so perhaps..."

Fang Li gradually smiled, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Remember to mark yourself for overtime."

Ji Tiantian pursed her lips happily, her dimples becoming more pronounced.

The two walked towards the Huanyu Building, and at the intersection, a black Mercedes silently started and slowly followed.
