huan supported his head with one hand, his voice somewhat languid, "Just open it and see for yourself."With that said, Fu Xiaoyao picked up the largest gift box and opened it. Inside was a dress.The d...Fu Xiaoyao shook her head, "Don't ask Aunt Song, I have a bit of pain here. I'll go upstairs to rest for a while."

She pointed to her ribs.

Song Yi naturally wouldn't continue to ask, she could only agree, "Alright, Madam, you go back to your room and rest. I'll call you when dinner is ready."

"Hmm." Fu Xiaoyao lightly nodded her head, propped herself up on the sofa armrest and slowly walked upstairs.

Back in her room, she didn't rest as she had said, but instead took out her phone and called her grandfather.

When the old man received her call, he was very surprised and unexpected, "Xiaoyao, why did you suddenly call grandpa"

"Grandpa, I want to ask you something. Do you know about what happened to me a few days ago when I was kidnapped" Fu Xiaoyao asked seriously.

The old man on the phone was frightened, "What, you've been kidnapped again Who did it"

Fu Xiaoyao bit her lip.

As expected, Lu Hanchuan didn't tell the old man about this.

The day before yesterday, she asked him if he had inquired from the old man about that person. He did not answer her then, and she already suspected that he hadn't spoken to the old man.

"Now that I ask the old man, it really is so."

"I don't know who did it. The person only said they were an enemy of the Lu family," Fu Xiaoyao replied.

The old man’s voice was much lower. “Lu family’s enemies… Xiao Yao, tell grandpa carefully about what happened when you were kidnapped. What on earth is going on!”

"Good," Fu Xiaoyao replied, and then told what had happened.

The old man's breath quickened with anger after hearing this, "Good heavens, such a big thing happened and that kid Hanchuan didn't even tell me, what a good-for-nothing."

"Grandpa, don't blame him. He might have some reservations." Fu Xiaoyao saw the old man starting to get angry at Lu Hanchuan, and couldn't help but speak up for him.

The old man snorted coldly, “Concern What could he possibly be concerned about I think he just doesn’t want to say it.”

Fu Xiaoyao fell silent.

Actually, she couldn't figure it out either. Lu Hanchuan had clearly said he was going back to the old house to ask his grandfather, but she didn't know why he changed his mind later on.

"Alright, Xiaoyao, Grandpa knows about this now. Thank you for telling Grandpa about it. Grandpa will have Lao Fu bring some supplements over for you later. You take good care of yourself and recover well. Leave the rest to Grandpa."

After finishing his call, the old man hung up the phone so quickly that Fu Xiaoyao couldn't stop him.

She picked up her phone and chuckled wryly, "I haven't even asked about the old man yet."

Never mind, the old man should probably go look for Lu Hanchuan now. Lu Hanchuan would probably ask about it too.

She still waited for Lu Hanchuan to come back and asked him if he was okay.

However, this wait lasted until evening.

When Lu Hanchuan returned, his face was not looking good, rather gloomy and sullen.

He walked up to Fu Xiaoyao, who was watching television, put down his briefcase and coldly asked, "Who told Grandpa about this"

Fu Xiaoyao paused the television, "Can't you tell me"

"Your grandfather isn't well, you tell him these things and he'll be upset." Lu Hánchuan's thin lips pursed into a straight line.

"So that's why you didn't go to the old house to ask grandpa back then"

Lu Hanchuan pressed his temples and sat down, "I went to the old house to ask grandpa, but when I saw grandpa coughing, I gave up."

"I see." Fu Xiaoyao's expression was a little dejected. "I didn't know, I just worry about you. I wanted you to find the enemy of the Lu family as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary danger, so... I'm sorry..."

She stood up and bowed to him.

Lu Hanchuan waved his hand, "Forget it, at least grandpa's emotions are still relatively stable. But next time don't be so impulsive, discuss it with me before making a decision."

"Mhm." Fu Xiaoyao nodded repeatedly.

Lu Hanchuan poured himself a glass of water. “This afternoon, I asked my grandfather, and he said that the Lu family did indeed have an enemy who was about his age, but he had died three years ago. He didn't know about any others.”

"So Grandpa doesn't know who this sudden old man is, does he" Fu Xiaoyao looked at him.

Lu Hanchuan nodded.

Fu Xiaoyao strengthened a smile, “It’s okay, I believe you can always find out his identity, but during this period, you have to be careful, I'm worried he might take action against you.”

"I know." Lu Hanchuan nodded, his expression easing considerably.

Fu Xiaoyao saw that he wasn't angry anymore, and the anxiety in her heart finally subsided. "That..."

"Say." Lu Hanchuan uttered a single word.

Fu Xiaoyao squeezed her palms, "Can I go to the company tomorrow"

"Do you want to go back to work" Lu Hanzhan narrowed his eyes.

"No, I'm just going to get some things."

"Important"

"Well, some useful information about fashion design," Fu Xiaoyao said in detail.

Lu Hanchuan raised his chin, "I understand. Tomorrow after you get the data, I'll have Qiao Mu send you back."

"Good, thank you, Hanchuan." Fu Xiaoyao smiled.

Lu Hanchuan put down his water glass, "Take a rest."

He got up and held out his hand to her.

Seeing this, Fu Xiaoyao understood. She gently placed her hand on his.

He grabbed her hand tightly and pulled her upstairs.

A good night's sleep, the next day.

Fu Xiaoyao arrived at the company, greeted the manager, and then went to the large office to pack up her belongings, preparing to take them back.

Just as she was about to leave, Yulin returned. She sat down, head bowed, pulling out a chair and then leaned on her desk, quietly sobbing.

Seeing this, Fu Xiaoyao's heart skipped a beat. She put down the documents in her hand, "Linlin, what's wrong with you"

Yu Lin heard her voice, her sobs momentarily stopping. She immediately raised her head, her tear-streaked face filled with surprise. "Xiao Yao, how did you come back Didn't the manager say you took a very long leave"

"Well, I'm just coming back to get a few things, I'll be gone in a bit." Fu Xiaoyao patted the neatly arranged materials and asked, "But you, where did you go just now I didn't see you when I came back. When I finally saw you, you were still crying."

Yu Lin lowered her eyelids and choked back a sob as she replied, "I went to the HR department."

"What are you going to the HR department for" Fu Xiaoyao felt a bad premonition.

Yu Lin looked up and took a deep breath, "I'm going to quit."

Hearing this, Fu Xiaoyao's brain froze for a moment before she recovered, "Linlin, what did you just say You quit your job"

She looked at Yulin in disbelief.

Yu Lin wiped her tears and forced a smile, "You heard right, I'm quitting."

"Why" Fu Xiaoyao became excited, "For what reason are you resigning You were doing well!"

“I can’t quit.” Yu Lin covered her face, her emotions breaking down again. “Too many things have happened at home these days. The doctor said that after this fall, my father will never be able to stand up again. And he also hit his head, and he hasn't woken up yet. He might not even wake up ever again.”

"What" Fu Xiaoyao was a bit confused, "How could the situation be so serious"

“Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Why did things get so bad But that's not the worst part. My mom heard my dad might not wake up. She got really flustered and had a stroke. Now she's in the hospital too. If I quit my job, who will take care of them” At this point, Yu Lin started crying again, her sobs filled with uncertainty and despair about the future.

Fu Xiaoyao was completely stunned. After a moment, she regained her voice, "How is the aunt now Has she passed the dangerous period"py that he could see it."Hmm." Lu Hanchuan slightly raised his chin. "I'll go to the study to make a phone call."After saying that, he got up and went upstairs.Fu Xiaoyao picked up the remote control...
