in a while, but is your foot okay"He seemed to be wearing high heels when he first saw her come in."It's fine." Fu Xiaoyao twisted her ankle, "It's almost better, as long as I don't run, walking is no..."It's Lu Zong!" Shi Mo held his phone in front of Fu Xiaoyao, showing her the screen.

Fu Xiaoyao glanced at it, and sure enough, it was Lu Hchuan's number.

She questioned, "How could he call you"

Could she be here Has he found her already

"I'm not sure." Shi Mo took his phone back and thought for a moment before saying, "It should be the call yesterday. Today, President Lu saw that I called him last night, so he came back especially to answer it. Should I"

He asked her.

"Of course!"

She still wanted to hear Lu Hanchuan's voice.

"Okay then." Shi Mo gave a light hum in response, picked up the phone, and turned on speaker so Fu Xiaoyao could hear.

"It's me!" Lu Hanchuan's voice came from the phone.

Fu Xiaoyao unconsciously furrowed her brow.

What's going on

His voice had grown so much colder than before, making one feel a chill run down their spine just from hearing it.

"Mr. Lu, good afternoon." Shi Mo greeted Lu Hanchuan.

Lu Hanchuan didn't return the call, but instead asked, "Do you have something to find me"

Shi Mo knew he was asking about last night's phone call.

"It's nothing major. I'm going back to my country soon, and before I leave, I want to know the specific progress of our two groups' current cooperation." Shi Mo looked at Fu Xiaoyao and said to Lu Hanzhen.

Fu Xiaoyao let out a slight breath.

She was really afraid he would tell people where she was.

"What's the specific progress of the cooperation" Lu Hanchuan raised his eyebrow slightly, "About this, the monthly inventory report at the end of each month has it. I don't believe that Shi Zong's personal assistant wouldn't pass it on to you, Shi Zong. So, Shi Zong, what is the real reason you called me in the middle of the night"

The lie was seen through so quickly, Shi Mo wasn't surprised. He still wore a nonchalant smile, "My purpose is truly this."

"Oh" Lu Hanchuan sarcastically curled his lips, obviously still unconvinced. "There's no normal person who would ask about the progress of a collaboration in the middle of the night."

"Well, I'm trying to adjust my sleep schedule in advance so I don't experience jet lag when I return home. That's why I called you, Mr. Lu, in the middle of the night. I apologize for the inconvenience." Shi Mo said apologetically.

Fu Xiaoyao's mouth hung open, staring at him as if he were a stranger, her eyes filled with disbelief.

She couldn't believe it, she truly couldn't. This man, who claimed to be gentle and refined, a noble gentleman, was just a facade. Beneath that surface lay a cunning liar, someone who would brazenly spin tales without a hint of shame.

Indeed...people can't be judged by their appearance!

"Well then, since time always makes up for lost time, make the most of it and don't go around bothering people over small things." Lu Hanchuan was clearly annoyed with Shi Mo as well. After a sarcastic remark, he hung up the phone.

Seeing that his face was not good, Aunt Song poured him a glass of water, "Sir, who angered you"

"Just an insignificant person." Lu Hanchuan tossed the phone aside, rubbing his still slightly groggy forehead, his voice hoarse in reply.

Aunt Song heard him say that, and didn't want to ask further, so she closed her mouth.

Lu Hanchuan finished his water and put down the glass, "Have you chased away the people outside"

"They kicked us out of the property, but I think they won't give up. They're still talking about calling the police and getting your husband arrested!" Aunt Song said indignantly.

This morning, the couple from the Fu family came over to cause a scene, crying and demanding that my husband compensate them for their son.

She had finally managed to drive the couple away, but they returned soon after, causing even more trouble than before. They even threatened that if her husband didn't compensate them for their son, he would go to jail.

It's incredibly foolish. To begin with, Fu Zixuan's death has nothing to do with Master. Even if it did, the things Fu Zixuan did were despicable, and he deserved what happened to him.

And that couple, for both occasions, cried and shouted about their son, not once asking how the wife was doing. Even if she wasn't their biological daughter, she had been their daughter for over twenty years. Couldn't they have cared a little

However, not a single word!

So Aunt Song had no sympathy for the Fu family at all. After all, who would pity a family that was rotten to the core

"Let them call the police if they want to. I'd like to see if they have the guts to send me to jail!" Lu Hanchuan spoke coldly and ruthlessly, his eyes showing undisguised disdain and disgust.

It was clear he didn't care about that couple at all.

Aunt Song is the same, I don't even want to mention them now, it makes me sick.

"By the way, Mr." Song Yi suddenly patted her thigh, " Qiao's assistant came this morning, saying that Mr. and Miss Qi are refusing to sign the property transfer agreement and insist on seeing you. They say they won't sign unless you go there yourself. I was dealing with that Fu family couple and completely forgot about this."

"Refuse to sign" Lu Hanchuan's face darkened, and the coldness around him reached its peak.

"That's what Qiao Zhu said," Auntie Song replied with a shiver.

Lu Hanchuan's lips curled into a cold arc. "Since that's the case, I'll go take a look and see what they want."

Having said that, he stood up.

Because the station is too fast, and my head was already dizzy, I'm even more dizzy now, and my eyes are a little black.

Seeing him swaying, as if he was about to collapse on the sofa any moment, Aunt Song was frightened and quickly held him up, "Sir, what's wrong with you"

"I'm fine." Lu Hanchuan withdrew his arm and walked towards the door.

Aunt Song saw that his face was pale and she was very worried, following behind him, "Sir, is your head still hurting"

Lu Hanchuan bent down to change his shoes, without responding.

To Aunt Song, he still looked the same as always.

Seeing him put on his shoes and go out, Aunt Song grabbed him and stopped him from leaving.

"Sir, don't bother with the Qi family father and daughter for now. Just come to the hospital with me and see Dr. Shao. Get a good check-up of your head. Something isn't right. You've had a headache since yesterday, and it hasn't gotten better today." Aunt Song was urging him with great anxiety.

Lu Hanchuan frowned, forcefully pulling his hand out of hers. "Alright, it's just a little sore, nothing major. Auntie Song, please let go."

"No!" Aunt Song stood in front of the door, preventing him from going out. She looked at him with a serious expression, "Sir, you should know that many major illnesses stem from small ailments that are often overlooked. You can't just ignore them."

Lu Hanchuan naturally knew that Song Yi was worried about him, but he really didn't think his headache and dizziness were anything serious.

In his view, it was caused by intracranial hemorrhage yesterday and will get better in a few days.

"Alright, Aunt Song, my decision won't change. You better get out of my way!" Lu Hanchuan stared at Aunt Song with his deep eyes as cold as a black hole, his voice leaving no room for argument.

Aunt Song's expression stiffened, as if she was a little scared. She took a step to the side, making way for the doorway.

Lu Hanchuan stopped wasting time on her and walked out, pulling the door open.

Looking at the shadow of his car driving away, Aunt Song sighed with sadness.

Since yesterday's incident with his wife, and not knowing the outcome yet, Mr. has changed drastically. He is colder than before, more imposing, and even more domineering. Even when he falls ill, he doesn't seem to care.

Thinking of this, Auntie Song shook her head helplessly and took out her phone to call Qiao Mu. She told him to always pay attention to the situation of Mr. Lu. Once Mr. Lu showed signs of a headache, he should immediately take him to the hospital.

Lu Hanchuan still didn't know that after he left the villa, Aunt Song had arranged all of this for her.

He sped all the way to Qi's villa.

Joe had been waiting at the door. When he saw the car arrive, he walked over and opened the door for Lu Hanchuan.

Lu Hanchuan got out of the car and walked straight into the villa, "Did Qi Ya say what I'm doing when she sees me"o look at Shao Sian beside her.Shao Si Nian quickly coughed and explained, "It's like this, Senior Brother is a face-con (someone who prioritizes appearance), to him, looks are everything.
