Severed ties and living in a dilapidated house? No worries, the poor thing has a space.

Chapter 101 If he had known this would happen, he should have fought back with all his might.

Fu Zhou, who was on the roof, also wanted to go to the kitchen to help, but Fang Xin said that it was not his job and wouldn't let him help.

He was on the roof of the house in the backyard watching the workers running back and forth.

"Dangdang!"

Suddenly, there was a noise from that room, as if something had fallen to the ground. He knew that a girl lived in that room and that Granny Liu had been taking care of her.

There is a difference between men and women. Although he was in the backyard, he had not yet seen the girl.

He had also heard that it was a girl with a broken leg, and judging from the noise, she probably fell down.

He came down from the roof, intending to go to the kitchen to call Granny Liu over to take a look, but Granny Liu and Fang Xin were both too busy.

If Granny Liu left, Miss Fang would have to work harder, and he didn't want her to suffer too much, so he walked to the door of that room.

He knocked gently on the door and asked in a cool but calm voice, "Young lady, are you alright? Granny Liu is busy right now. Do you need any help?"

He asked for a while, but the person inside didn't respond. Worried that something might have happened to them, he pushed the door open while still talking.

"Miss, I apologize for the intrusion."

Upon seeing Yun Xiao lying on the floor of the room, Fu Ju's gaze froze. Seeing the scar on her face that hadn't fully healed, he moved his lips but couldn't utter a word.

Yun Xiao smiled when she saw him, but then she started crying. She really hadn't made the wrong bet.

Fu Zhou strode over, picked her up, and placed her on the bed. Tears streamed uncontrollably down his face. Looking at the scars on Yun Xiao's face, he dared not touch them.

"Yan'er, your face... how did you get here?"

Yun Xiao held Fu Ju's hands in both of hers and gently touched his forehead, as if it were some kind of special ritual.

Fu Ju gently wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes with his fingertips, his voice trembling as he spoke through his nose: "Didn't Uncle promise me that he would treat you and Mother well as long as I left?"

Yun Xiao wiped away Fu Ju's tears with her fingertips, then suddenly choked up, "Brother, I'm sorry, I failed to protect Mother..."

Yun Xiao's sobs grew louder and louder, and her body trembled uncontrollably: "My uncle took my mother's body and never intended to let me go. It was my mother who hurt herself to help me escape. I'm the one who let my mother down..."

Fu Ju never imagined things would turn out this way. He thought that as long as he left, his mother and sister would live out the rest of their lives in peace.

His uncle never intended to let him go, but he wouldn't tell Yunxiao.

When the siblings were reunited, Yunxiao said, "Brother, my name is now Yunxiao. I smelled your scent on Miss Fang and guessed that she might have seen you before, so I asked her to buy me. I never expected that you would actually be with Miss Fang."

Fu Ju gently patted her back to comfort her: "I will avenge all the suffering you have endured and rescue Mother."

Yun Xiao gripped his sleeve tightly: "Okay, I want to go with you, brother."

Fu Ju's heart was bleeding. If he had known that his mother and sister would suffer such a fate, he should have fought to the death back then.

"Yan'er... Yunxiao, all you need to do now is to heal your leg, don't worry about anything else."

Looking at her legs, Yun Xiao couldn't help but sigh, "Brother, my legs are probably going to stay like this forever, and I'll have to let Miss Fang down."

Fu Ju gently stroked the hair on her forehead, his trembling fingertips lightly touching her scar, and comforted her, "Trust your brother, Miss Fang will definitely be able to heal you."

Fu Ju simply didn't mention that he had been poisoned, but Miss Fang had pulled him back from the brink of death, even though he was already beyond saving. Naturally, he believed that Fang Yu could heal Yun Xiao's leg and the scar on her face.

After comforting Yunxiao, Fuju left the room. Just as he went out, Fang Xin came out of the kitchen and saw him.

But Fang Xin didn't think much of it, and went back after getting what she needed.

Xiao Jingqi and his companion were still in the private room upstairs. He kept observing the person downstairs through the crack in the window.

He also noticed that every time Li came out of the backyard, this man's gaze would always be fixed on her, like the gaze of a jackal or tiger looking at its prey.

Xiao Lanzhi was already eating his second bowl of spicy hot pot, and it still wasn't enough. He also ate quite a few other dishes. He glanced at Xiao Jingqi's back and said:

"Zizhao, I think you should replace the chef at Tianxianglou. The food isn't as good as the chef at Miss Fang's place."

Xiao Jingqi turned to look at him, as if he were an idiot, and said, "These dishes were all made by Miss Fang. You are a young master, what delicacies haven't you eaten? Can you restrain yourself a little?"

Xiao Lanzhi put down the hand that was rubbing her stomach, took a breath to calm her full stomach, but muttered unconvinced, "But the dishes made by Miss Fang are just better than those made by the chefs at Tianxiang Restaurant."

Xiao Jingqi: "..."

Suddenly, a commotion erupted downstairs, then abruptly stopped. Xiao Jingqi pushed the window open a little wider to look down and saw Fang Yu speaking.

Fang Yu prepared a wooden box and had the guests at each table draw lots, promising to give three lucky guests a jar of Liuliangye liquor.

There were quite a few people dining, and everyone took out their slips of paper and opened them to read. The three people whose slips of paper had writing on them quickly stood up.

As agreed, Fang Yu delivered Liuliangye liquor to the three of them; it was brand new and unopened.

The others who didn't get a draw were all very disappointed, feeling that they weren't lucky enough.

Fang Yu clapped her hands, signaling everyone to look at her. She then said, "Don't be discouraged if you didn't win today. Within three days, any customer who has a membership card at our restaurant can draw a prize after dining three times. The prize is a jar of Liuliangye liquor."

"What is a membership card?" Everyone who was interested looked at Fang Yu excitedly and asked.

Fang Yu calmly explained, "...The more you save, the bigger the discount, and the rarer the prizes you'll win."

As soon as she finished speaking, many customers rushed to sign up for membership cards, crowding around Fang Yu's counter and making it impossible to move.

After processing everyone's membership cards, she looked at the strange man, who just got up to pay the bill.

"Take care, sir. Welcome to come again next time."

The man paused slightly as he walked out, glancing at Li again before leaving the restaurant.

Li patted her chest and walked over to Fang Yu, saying, "That person is finally gone. I always felt like he was watching me. The waiter apologized, and you apologized in person, Yu'er, but he still seemed dissatisfied."

Fang Yu held Li Shi's hand, wiped the light sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, and comforted her, "It's alright, Mother. The person has already left. Mother, don't bother anymore, go to your room and rest."

Madam Li shook her head: "It's alright. You and Xin'er haven't rested, how could I, as their mother, take a break?"

After calming herself down, Ms. Li acted as if nothing had happened and continued to help greet the guests.
