o"The man's calloused fingertips traced the smooth skin on her arm, "I want to keep you by my side forever."He stared at her despairing face, thinking of the scene of her walking side-by-side with Fu...The car drove out of the Jinling Mansion and back home. Xia felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders. She had lied to Cao Yuan, intentionally speaking that way in front of him.

Actually, she was really intimidated by Mr. Huo's aura. Plus, she had acted as a spy by delivering messages for Mr. Fu, which made her feel guilty and afraid.

She went back to her room and called Fu Hanlin on her phone——

"Mr. Fu, Mr. Huo knows I'm here to see you."

On the phone, the man's calm voice could soothe the soul. "It's alright, this was within my expectations. Is Fu Yan okay"

Xia Xia started to feel sorry for him, "It's alright, she asked me to tell you something."

Fu Hanlin pondered for a few seconds, not asking Xiaoxia what Fu Yan had said. "I know she asked you to tell me not to take risks. Did you tell her not to worry and to wait for me"

Xia Xia nodded, "Yes."

Then it's settled.

"By the way, Mr. Fu," Xia hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mr. Huo asked me to tell you that you can't take Yanjiejie away."

Hanging up the phone, Fu Hanlin finished his tea and sat across from Ji Linshen who couldn't hold back any longer. "I wish I could rush into Jinling Manor right now and take Xiaoyan back."

You haven't even entered his estate, and by the time you reach the Jinling mansion, it'll be known. How could you possibly take Fu Yan away

He said calmly, "Things will be easier once Fu Yan comes out."

Of course, Ji Lin knew this. Otherwise, how could he have waited until now to make a move

Fu Yan's body is still very weak. Huo Mingzheng is not so cruel as to hurt Fu Yan. According to Xiaoxiao, Huo Mingzheng still has a conscience and takes good care of Fu Yan.

He got up from his seat.

Fu Hanlin called out to him, "Where are you going"

Ji Lin turned his head and said, "The day after tomorrow, the fifth day of the lunar month is Xiaoxing's birthday. I and Fu Yan have promised her that we will accompany her to celebrate her birthday. Xiao Yaner must be thinking in her heart that she can't go, but I will definitely go."

"Xiaoxing"

Ji Lin explained, "It's a child from the orphanage, just three years old. He was born prematurely and left at the back door of the orphanage on such a cold day. His condition was critical, and we almost couldn't save him. This child is lucky; his good fortune hasn't run out yet."

Fu Hánlín poured himself a cup of tea. "Which child in the orphanage isn't pitiful"

This is logical, but Xiaoxing is exceptionally endearing. Not only does Jilin feel sorry for her, but Fu Yan also feels sorry for her. Besides, Xiaoxing actually looks a bit like Fu Yan, and this connection inexplicably makes them both want to care for her.

"Then I'll take my leave, Brother Fu. I'm going to buy a gift."

Fu Hanlin hummed in response, watching Ji Lin walk out of the private room.

After finishing his cup of tea, he stared at the black screen of his phone, lost in thought. Then, he picked up his phone and made a call.

"Dad, on the fifth day of Lunar New Year, I will hold a press conference to officially take over Fushi, and Xincheng will continue to develop as a subsidiary of Fushi."

A low voice, that of a middle-aged man, came through the phone. It was clearly a voice relieved. "You've finally seen reason"

Fu Hanlin is noble at heart. He has pride and ambition.

After spending a year at Nanjing University, he realized that the curriculum wasn't challenging enough for him anymore. Without hesitation, he moved to Zurich.

He made his first fortune in Zurich before graduating from university, then returned home and refused to take over the family business. He founded Xincheng, a company that rose from nothing, and became a dark horse in the Nancheng marketplace.

Compared to the Fu Group, it's miles apart, not even on the same level.

Even on the South City Shopping Mall and within the national scope, there are two major giants: Ho Group and Fu Group.

Fu Hánlín twirled the teacup in his hand, "I need Fu's Group."ky, thoughtfully saying, "Is he ill""On the edge of danger, I worry he could revert back to his old ways at any moment." Finally, Old Master Huo voiced his concerns that had been plaguing him all nigh...
