Mrs. Fu, please be mindful of the appropriate boundaries.

Xie Yin's move was too unexpected, and Fu Jingting took the punch head-on, instantly tasting blood in his mouth.

Not to mention Duan Heng, even Xu Qingyao was stunned. What was going on?

Fu Jingting wasn't one to stand still and take a beating. The man steadied himself and retaliated without hesitation.

Seeing Duan Heng go over to stop Xie Yin, Xu Qingyao quietly approached and accidentally tripped Duan Heng, then helped him up, asking, "Are you alright?"

Duan Heng struggled but couldn't break free, and looked at Xu Qingyao.

Xu Qingyao pretended not to understand and wouldn't let go of him. Then, when she saw others wanting to join, she pushed Duan Heng out as a scapegoat.

When it comes to fighting, the one with more people always wins.

Xie Yin was definitely not going to gain any advantage on FUC's territory, but he actually wanted to surprise Fu Jingting and beat him up.

I just couldn't stand it anymore.

To hurt a woman to that extent, that takes real guts.

However, thanks to Xu Qingyao's witty banter, Xie Yin didn't actually suffer any losses.

After delivering the punch, Xie Yin swung his wrist, exclaiming, "Damn, that really hurts!"

"Fu Jingting, just because you don't care about her doesn't mean others don't care about her either. Now that you're engaged, don't provoke her anymore."

"Who are you to her?"

Fu Jingting's cold and sarcastic voice accompanied the landing of his fist. He just couldn't stand Xie Yin, he couldn't stand anything about him.

Xie Yin tried to dodge, but it was too late; the fist landed on his left temple.

Xie Yinzhen wanted to curse. This was really ruthless! He was going to get a concussion!

He reached out and braced himself against the wall, shaking his head violently. Xie Yin asked defiantly, "Whatever I am to her, is it any of your business?"

Xie Yin sneered, "You're just an ex-husband."

These words struck Fu Jingting's heart with both precision and ruthlessness.

Xie Yin patted his clothes. "I'm here today to tell you where you stand. Xu Qingcheng is mine."

Fu Jingting narrowed his eyes dangerously and coldly retorted, "Your people?"

Xie Yin thought to himself, "It shouldn't be a problem to show off a little, right? X, the unknown person, is also one of my people... right?"

Anyway, he had said everything he needed to say, beaten up where he was supposed to, and the security guards had come over, so Xie Yin was too lazy to waste any more words on him.

They seized the opportunity and quickly slipped away.

Xu Qingyao caught up with Xie Yin, "Brother Yin."

The hand landed on Xie Yin's shoulder, causing Xie Yin to flinch in pain. "Be gentle."

Xu Qingyao quickly let go of her hand. "Are you alright?"

"It's nothing, I don't know who punched me, but my bones are almost broken." Xie Yin moved his arms around, it was a chaotic melee.

"What happened to my sister?" Xu Qingyao asked worriedly, but with so many people around, he didn't feel comfortable asking.

"Nothing much."

Xu Qingyao didn't believe it. How could he have come over and beaten someone up?

Unable to get a single word out of Xie Yin, Xu Qingyao made a phone call to Xu Qingcheng. He didn't find out what happened to her, but Xu Qingcheng learned that Xie Yin had gone to FUC and beaten up Fu Jingting.

I only found out he was in the hospital after calling Xie Yin. Xu Qingcheng is really...

She drove straight to the hospital.

Xie Yin went to the hospital for an X-ray, which showed a fractured rib.

There's no other good way. Just give her an IV drip, some medicine, and let her rest at home.

Xu Qingcheng stood in front of him, utterly speechless. "You went back to Ancheng, fine, but what were you doing running off to FUC?"

I don't like him.

"Beating him up won't solve anything," Xu Qingcheng said, frustrated. "It just landed me in the hospital."

"His condition is more serious than mine. Don't worry, your brother won't do anything that would put him at a disadvantage."

Xu Qingcheng was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw Xie Yin staring at her.

Why are you looking at me like that?

"It's nothing." Xie Yin scoffed. When he heard that Fu Jingting's condition was more serious than his, he saw her expression. It's true that daughters grow up and leave home. Luckily, he has a son.

After Xie Yin finished his IV drip, Xu Qingcheng helped him get his medicine. As they walked out, she grumbled, "Punches and kicks have no eyes. Do you think you're still seventeen or eighteen? At least set a good example for Mingchen."

Listening to her endless chatter, Xie Yin picked at his ear. Just as he was about to speak, he saw a somewhat unfamiliar acquaintance, "Qingcheng."

"Um?"

"Help me up, it hurts like hell." Xie Yin put one hand on his waist and bent his body to the side, as if he was really in unbearable pain.

Xu Qingcheng quickly went over to support him, "Does it hurt a lot? Where does it hurt? Your ribs?"

Xie Yin nodded.

Xu Qingcheng took his arm with one hand and touched his ribs with the other. "This area? Didn't the doctor say you injured your left side? Was the examination not thorough? Should we go see another doctor?"

Xie Yin, "..." forgot, you should turn to the left, the direction is wrong.

Xie Yin fought with real force and was particularly cunning, targeting one spot specifically. Fu Jingting felt like half his face was deformed, and even the slightest movement of his lips caused excruciating pain. Despite applying a cold compress, his face remained swollen, ruining his afternoon event.

Fu Jingting came to the hospital not because he had been beaten up, but because he had some free time since he wasn't attending events, so he came to see the psychologist he had stood up several times.

As a result of his swollen face, Fu Jingting was mocked for several minutes, which made him so angry that he almost smashed the nameplate on the psychologist's desk.

He came for psychological counseling, but ended up so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Lu Jingzhou really didn't mean it; he just couldn't help himself because he'd never seen Fu Jingting act so funny before.

Fu Jingting's mental state during his recovery period was indeed very poor, but after a period of adjustment and treatment, he was basically fine. However, he occasionally experienced headaches, dizziness, and even suffocation. Lu Jingzhou had seen his treatment records from when he was recovering abroad, and his description was no different from his description of being on the verge of death when the accident happened.

Given Fu Jingting's current state, Lu Jingzhou was also puzzled as to why he would experience this migratory feeling of suffocation. This was clearly a psychological problem, but all the indicators in the assessment were perfectly normal.

Fu Jingting did not reject treatment and had never hidden it from the doctor, but so far Lu Jingzhou has not been able to find the cause of his condition.

Therefore, Fu Jingting looked at him as if he were a quack doctor, which led Lu Jingzhou to not want to deal with him anymore.

Because it wasn't very frequent, Fu Jingting rarely came to visit when he was busy. Recently, the intervals between visits had been quite long, and Lu Jingzhou had been urging him to come. Since he happened to have some free time, he came to check on things.

Moreover, Fu Jingting admitted that there has been a recent trend of such incidents occurring more frequently.

However, the treatment made little progress. Lu Jingzhou still couldn't find a common ground in these repeated emergencies. Fu Jingting's personality did not contain any obsessive desires, and he did not even show excessive emotional fluctuations towards the several adversaries who caused his accidents, including his ex-wife.

It's not to say that it never happened, but it was for a very short period of time. The impact of this factor on his mental state has weakened to the point that it can be ignored. Even if it did happen, it wouldn't cause drastic psychological fluctuations.

It was just time to get off work, and Lu Jingzhou didn't want to waste any more time, so he simply ended the consultation and asked Fu Jingting to treat him to drinks.

But at this moment, seeing his obviously tense emotions, Lu Jingzhou followed his gaze.

They look like a couple.

The man was injured, and the woman was supporting him, her face filled with anxiety.

What was a normal act of helping someone up in Lu Jingzhou's eyes took on a completely different form in Fu Jingting's eyes. Xie Yin's arrogant questioning rang in his ears, and Fu Jingting's face instantly turned cold and dark, his taut facial lines revealing his anger.

Lu Jingzhou observed without making a sound.

"Why don't we go back and ask the doctor again? This won't do. What if it gets worse when we get back?" Xie Yin felt he had overreacted, but Xu Qingcheng insisted, so he had no choice.

"Will it hurt a lot to walk? Why don't you put your arm around me?" Xu Qingcheng pulled his arm and put it on her shoulder.

Xie Yin was about to say no, but before he could even open his mouth, he was suddenly pushed to the side.

Holy crap!

The moment he was pushed away, Xie Yin felt so much pain that he almost lost his soul.

Xu Qingcheng looked up abruptly and met Fu Jingting's cold face. She shouted angrily, "What are you doing? He's injured!"

She rushed forward to help Xie Yin, but after only a few steps, Fu Jingting grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. He lowered his eyes, his lip was injured, and half his face was swollen; his face was truly unsightly, but that didn't stop him from speaking coldly, "He can stand up even if he's injured. What business is it of yours?"

He couldn't stand her having any physical contact with other men.

any.

Xu Qingcheng was furious. What right did he have?

Thinking of Wen Fei, and of her own humiliation, all inflicted upon her by him, Xu Qingcheng's teeth chattered with anger. "Let go."

"I won't let go."

Fu Jingting's face was grim, and he wouldn't budge an inch, gripping her wrist tightly with his fingers.

"Fu Jingting!" Xu Qingcheng no longer cared about the people coming and going. She shouldn't be acting like a hysterical madwoman, but he went too far. Xu Qingcheng couldn't break free, and she couldn't break free by kicking or hitting him. She was so angry that she lowered her head and bit his arm, biting him very hard.

Xie Yin, holding his waist, was stunned.

A crazy woman is terrifying.

Lu Jingzhou remained silent. When someone came over, confused about the argument, and tried to intervene, he stopped them.

Xu Qingcheng bit down really hard, so hard that Fu Jingting had to tense his arm to the limit, but even so, he showed no sign of loosening his grip. He coldly reminded her, "Don't bite until you bleed, but it doesn't matter. We're in the hospital anyway, you won't die from fainting at the sight of blood."

These sarcastic remarks made Xu Qingcheng so angry that her head was spinning. She stopped biting and raised her hand to slap his face.

He was tall and tilted his head. Xu Qingcheng swept her hand across his neck. It didn't hurt, but her nails scratched the skin on his neck, leaving two thin scratches.

Fu Jingting himself didn't feel much pain, but Xu Qingcheng's head buzzed and her temples throbbed painfully. She abruptly closed her eyes.

As if realizing something, Fu Jingting reached out and touched his neck.

There was a little blood on my hand.

His neck was cut, and a little blood came out.

Xu Qingcheng endured the dizziness and let it pass.

He wrapped his arm around her and pulled her into his embrace, then reached out and held the back of her head, pressing her face against his chest so she couldn't see the blood on her neck.

He embraced her naturally, even though his face was cold, his movements were both forceful and gentle.

Anyone seeing this wouldn't think it's just a couple arguing!

"Fu Jingting, are you satisfied with embarrassing me? You succeeded. When Wen Fei questioned me today, I couldn't say a word."

Overwhelmed by discomfort, she was pressed against his chest, her voice muffled as she spoke. The sound reached Fu Jingting's ears, causing him to furrow his brow.

Wen Fei and he understood each other best. Even though he had countless women around him, Wen Fei had no right to interfere.

These embarrassing situations that Xu Qingcheng imagined will not actually exist.

Xie Yin was completely dumbfounded. He had seen plenty of fights where people were beaten bloody, but this kind of... contradictory situation was a first for him.

This was the first time Lu Jingzhou had seen Fu Jingting like this, and he wanted to retract his previous judgment.

"Let her go first." Lu Jingzhou stepped in front of Xie Yin before they could react, and seeing that he was unmoved, he added, "You've made her wrist red."

Fu Jingting loosened his grip on Xu Qingcheng's arm and looked down at her wrist, which was indeed red.

The moment Fu Jingting let go, Xu Qingcheng pushed him away.

Xie Yin grabbed her wrist and shielded her behind him.

"Brother Yin, are you still seeing a doctor?" His voice trembled as he spoke.

Xie Yin was now filled with regret for his clever but misguided actions.

"I'm not going to look anymore, it doesn't hurt anymore. Let's go."

The two left.

Fu Jingting's gaze fell on Xie Yin's hand on Xu Qingcheng's shoulder, his eyes narrowed sharply, and his expression was so dark it was almost unbelievable.

Lu Jingzhou looked at him. "You promised to buy me a drink."

Fu Jingting gave him a cold look, walked out, and said to him, "Drink it yourself, put it on my tab."

Lu Jingzhou clicked his tongue. "Who was that just now?"

"Your ex-wife?"

Fu Jingting's lips remained taut and he didn't reply, so Lu Jingzhou knew he had guessed correctly.

His face was absolutely stunning. I had heard that his ex-wife was beautiful, but seeing her in person confirmed that the assessment was accurate.

Lu Jingzhou's contact with Fu Jingting began during his injury treatment. Given the severity of the injury, the Fu family took it very seriously, providing not only normal physical treatment but also psychological support.

"Is that her boyfriend? They look quite well-matched. Beautiful women never lack suitors." Lu Jingzhou ignored his glare and continued, "So, it's because another man has appeared in her life that you're resentful?"

Fu Jingting gave him a cold look. "What's it to you?"

Lu Jingzhou smiled and said, "I think you need to continue treatment and return to the previous frequency. If you don't come on time, I will tell the old man directly and have him change your psychologist."

Fu Jingting's forehead twitched. Lu Jingzhou was invited by the old man. In fact, Fu Jingting was not afraid of what Lu Jingzhou would say, but he really did not want the old man to worry about him anymore.

He glared at Lu Jingzhou, "No need to tell the old man, you can get out now too."

Dr. Lu waved his hand, "Alright, everyone go home. Forget about the alcohol, I'm taking care of my health, I'll go home and have some porridge."

As Dr. Lu walked, he sighed, lamenting that the previous treatment approach had completely deviated from its intended course.

Today's unexpected discovery is a case of finding the key ingredient.

……

When Pang Shenghua returned, Wen Fei and Zhong Wanxiu went to pick him up at the airport. Dr. Pang smiled when he saw Zhong Wanxiu, "What brings you here?"

Wen Fei took Pang Shenghua's luggage and smiled, "Teacher Pang, you don't know, Aunt Zhong insisted on coming with me as soon as she heard you were coming back today."

"I happened to be free today, so I came along." Zhong Wanxiu smiled and didn't mince words, asking her directly, "Do you want to adjust to the time difference? If not, I'll arrange a dinner for you."

Pang Shenghua glanced at her and smiled, "I knew you were planning this. You've had enough sleep on the plane, so let's do it tonight."

Wen Fei listened without interrupting or asking any questions. She was very attentive and sensible, and Pang Shenghua liked her very much. At that time, Wen Liyan asked Pang Shenghua to take care of Wen Fei, and Dr. Pang agreed.

I'll bring whoever I want, anyway.

It wasn't appropriate to make a phone call in front of Wen Fei, so Zhong Wanxiu called Xu Qingcheng only after seeing Pang Shenghua off. "Dr. Pang is back. I've booked a place for tonight. Let's meet and chat to get to know each other. I won't interfere with your communication anymore."

Xu Qingcheng was overjoyed. "Okay, thank you, Auntie."

Zhong Wanxiu couldn't help but add, "Although she's my friend, it's our first time meeting, so you should..."

"I understand, Auntie. I've prepared the gifts."

"It doesn't have to be too expensive; the most important thing is the sentiment. She doesn't really need anything, but since she's asking for help, we should still show our appreciation."

"Yes, I know," Xu Qingcheng replied, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Zhong Wanxiu's words truly felt like an elder teaching her how to conduct herself; it was very heartwarming.

"Auntie, do I need to bring the child with me?" Xu Qingcheng hesitated for a moment before asking.
