Hearing the familiar voice, Fu Yao looked up and saw Sun Guoqiang, dressed in a smart casual suit.

He strode calmly into the Lü family's gate. His gaze, fixed on Lü Liangsheng lying on the ground, was filled with unbearable tenderness.

"Oh dear, look what you've done to Liang Sheng! Principal, this is wrong of you. No matter how wrong the child is, you shouldn't beat him like this. What if he breaks a bone?"

Sun Guoqiang's tone, which sounded like he was standing up for Lü Liangsheng, made Fu Yao's teeth ache.

She really didn't know that Sun Guoqiang was such an understanding elder.

Fu Yao raised his head and looked in Lü Jianlin's direction. He saw Lü Jianlin staring intently at the hand that Sun Guoqiang was using to support Lü Liangsheng.

Caught between his father and Sun Guoqiang, and with Zhou Zhigang's fate still fresh in his mind, Lü Liangsheng's smooth brain finally began to show some wrinkles.

He gritted his teeth and said through the pain, "Uncle Sun, thank you for speaking up for me. But I did something wrong, and it's right that my dad hit me. Please don't worry about me."

After saying that, Lü Liangsheng pushed Sun Guoqiang's hand away, then swayed and leaned on the coffee table to stand up on his own.

Fu Yao and Cheng Ji exchanged a barely perceptible glance; this Lü Liang Sheng wasn't completely stupid after all.

When Lü Jianlin saw that his son still knew to come to him, the coldness in his eyes melted considerably.

He looked at Sun Guoqiang and said in a somewhat cold tone, "Old Sun, I still have to teach my unfilial son a lesson, so I won't entertain you today."

Sun Guoqiang's face stiffened, he clenched his teeth, and his eyes were filled with deep anger.

That old scoundrel dared to embarrass me like that in front of that brat Cheng Ji.

"Principal, Liang Sheng has already been beaten to this state, there's no need to punish him any further. It's not too late to give the child a chance to correct his mistakes."

"And Xiao Cheng, Xiao Fu, you two are watching over things here, why don't you try to persuade them? He and Liang Sheng are at least around the same age."

Sun Guoqiang seemed not to understand the implied meaning of Lü Jianlin's words, and instead started finding fault with Fu Yao and Cheng Ji who were standing to the side.

Fu Yao raised an eyebrow and said with a half-smile, "Uncle Sun, we are the younger generation, so naturally we cannot stop Lü Jianlin from educating his children."

Sun Guoqiang's face darkened immediately after Fu Yao made a veiled criticism in front of everyone.

"Cheng Ji, control your wife! Is that how you talk to your elders?"

"What did she say wrong? Uncle Sun, you're being far too sensitive."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Ji calmly placed his hand on the back of the sofa behind Fu Yao, then looked up at Sun Guoqiang in the living room and said slowly.

"you!"

Sun Guoqiang was surprised that Cheng Ji would be so disrespectful to him. Just as he was about to go up and teach him a lesson, Song Shuzhen, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

"Guoqiang, stop fooling around. If you have the skills of Guan Liangsheng, you'd be better off thinking about how to handle Qianqian's situation."

"The remains have been lying there for days; we need to come up with a plan. Ah Feng's eyes are about to go blind from crying."

Song Shuzhen was usually very kind and gentle, and this was the first time Fu Yao had ever seen her speak with a cold expression.

At the same time, Fu Yao was also somewhat surprised. Sun Qianqian was actually dead?

Fu Yao knew that Sun Qianqian was seriously ill.

She even talked to Cheng Ji that if Sun Guoqiang brought Sun Qianqian back because of her illness, then Sun Guoqiang would have another reason to be attacked.

At that time, they can also take this opportunity to smear Sun Guoqiang.

But to her and Cheng Ji's surprise, Sun Guoqiang was so heartless that he completely ignored Sun Qianqian, who was his only daughter!

A chill ran down Fu Yao's spine, and his eyes were filled with wariness as he looked at Sun Guoqiang.

In the living room, because of Song Shuzhen's words, Sun Guoqiang's noodles were red and hot, and his mouth kept twitching.

Thinking of his daughter who had died tragically in a foreign land, Sun Guoqiang blinked, could no longer hold back, and walked outside.

Fu Yao looked up and saw that it was a bright and sunny day, but when Sun Guoqiang walked out, a sense of desolation suddenly arose, as if his back had become a little hunched over.

She shook her head and stopped looking.

It's just crocodile tears; there's hardly any sincerity in them.

Thanks to Sun Guoqiang's interference, Lü Liangsheng was finally spared from being beaten again.

But Lü Jianlin was determined today; he couldn't let Cheng Ji and Fu Yao leave with resentment.

So, after everyone was seated in the living room, Lü Jianlin slammed his hand on the coffee table in front of him.

"Lü Liangsheng! Apologize to Comrade Fu!"

"Tell me, why did you go to exonerate such a scoundrel as Zhou Zhigang? And who told you to use his kindness to blackmail him? Do you know that if it weren't for Comrade Fu, your nephew would be lost somewhere by now?"

Lu Jianlin's words were extremely harsh, making Lu Liangsheng, who was standing trembling in the center of the living room, turn as white as paper.

"I..." Lu Liangsheng opened his mouth, his eyes full of apology as he looked at Fu Yao.

"I'm sorry, Comrade Fu, I was blinded by greed today. I... I just felt sorry for Zhigang. He told me that it was all... it was all Uncle Sun who told him that his brother died to save you."

"He and his brother have relied on each other since childhood. After hearing this, he regarded you as an enemy. But... but, he's not a bad person at heart. Many of the people in the black market are elderly and weak people who have no food..."

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have taken pity on him and tried to blackmail him. I... I never meant that. I saved you willingly..."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lü Liangsheng's voice stammered, and it took him a long time to finish his sentence.

But no one was paying attention to that at the moment.

Fu Yao, in particular, was in a state of turmoil at this moment.

She finally realized that Zhou Zhigang's assertion that she had killed his brother was actually a carefully orchestrated move by Sun Guoqiang.

This made Fu Yao feel both terrified and disgusted. Sun Guoqiang was truly a malignant tumor!

She turned her head and looked at Cheng Ji nervously, only to see him calmly nod at her.

Fu Yao then realized that he was still at the Lü family's house.

She glanced briefly at Lü Jianlin in the main seat and saw that his expression was not good either. She knew that Sun Guoqiang had completely offended Lü Jianlin.

If Lü Liangsheng had been any more foolish, Sun Guoqiang's next target would probably have been him.

Fu Yao thought, if she could figure it out, how much more so would the cunning old fox Lü Jianlin?

She blinked, feeling that today might be a new turning point.

After apologizing, Lü Liangsheng could no longer struggle and collapsed to the ground. Song Shuzhen gasped softly and took him to a room to treat his wounds.

Cheng Ji, on the other hand, was invited to the study by Lü Jianlin.

"Xiao Cheng, come inside and let's talk."

Lu Jianlin spoke calmly, but his gaze toward Cheng Ji was incredibly deep.

"it is good."

Cheng Ji stood up with Fu Yao's help and followed Lü Jianlin to the study.

As Fu Yao watched the two figures leave, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
