nWhen Mo Yu returned later that night, Fang Liu casually told him that Xiao Chen had come to visit during the day. When Mo Yu heard Xiao Chen’s name, he immediately paid a little more attention to Fang Liu.

n

n“Xiao Chen, was it? This guy honestly intends to be tied to the An family…” Mo Yu said thoughtfully.

n

nSeeing that Mo Yu’s expression seemed a little more serious, Fang Liu asked, “So what of it?”

n

n“The An family is not much of a problem to deal with. The same goes for the Xiao family. But if they were to join forces, they would become dangerous. It’s best if we avoid underestimating them.

n

n“Are you afraid that they will pose a threat to the Mo family?” Fang Liu quickly reacted.

n

n“Afraid? When have I ever been afraid?” Mo Yu sneered.

n

n“Nonetheless, Xiao Chen was no ordinary person. He has just returned to the country, and he has already taken over several projects under his father’s watchful eye. Xiao Chen has handled himself beautifully, and the old man trusts him very much. Although he is young, his methods are ruthless yet efficient. He dares to take risks, and his thoughts are meticulous. He is a natural-born businessman.”

n

nFang Liu had rarely heard Mo Yu speak highly of others. She was suddenly a little nervous when she listened to this. “Then, if he becomes your opponent…”

n

n“Then I am quite happy. Having an evenly matched opponent can make you stronger.” Mo Yu’s eyes lit up, and his tone was somewhat excited.

n

nFang Liu did not expect that the man she saw during the day would pose such a significant threat to Mo Yu.

n

n“Don’t worry. Your husband won’t lose to anyone.” Mo Yu saw the concern in Fang Liu’s eyes and felt warmth in his heart. He reached out and touched her cheek.

n

n“You still have to be careful.” Fang Liu reminded him and did not say anything more.

n

nThe next day, Fang Liu logged into her email to send some information to the research lab. However, she noticed that she had received an email.

n

n“Dear, Fang Liu. I’m preparing to leave Southern City. I’m sorry, but I cannot continue helping Miss Tao. Nonetheless, you are now the young madam of the Mo family. Mr. Mo will undoubtedly hire the best lawyer for Miss Tao. It is no longer necessary for me to stay by your side anymore.”

n

n“I’m truly grateful to Miss Tao for helping me tremendously back then. I also sympathize with you and your mother, but there’s not much I can do for you. I hate myself for not being a little more hardworking… Let’s not talk about such depressing matters. Seeing that you’re finally living the life you deserve makes me happy. I pray to God that He will bless you with limitless happiness forever. Best regards, Zhu Chang.”

n

nThe email was not long, and after reading it, Fang Liu was stunned. She looked at the date and saw that she had received it three days ago.

n

n‘Why didn’t Zhu Chang call me? Why did he send me an email instead? Wasn’t Zhu Chang’s law firm in Nancheng? Why does he want to leave so suddenly? Could he have encountered some difficulties?’

n

nThinking of this, Fang Liu hurriedly took out her cell phone and dialed Zhu Chang’s number.

n

nTao Yue and Zhu Chang were the only people Fang Liu could rely on in her darkest hours. They were the only family Fang Liu had. Fang Liu treated Zhu Chang like a brother, and if it weren’t for Zhu Chang, the mother and daughter would’ve had a much more difficult time.

n

nNonetheless, if Zhu Chang really was in trouble, Fang Liu felt she must help him.

n

nThe phone rang twice, and the call went through.

n

n“H-Hello…” the voice on the other end of the call sounded a little drunk. Fang Liu was a bit surprised and said, “Brother Zhu? Have you been drinking?”

n

nFang Liu remembered that Zhu Chang had never smoked or drank alcohol.

n

n“S-Sister Fang?” Zhu Chang was indeed drunk. When he heard Fang Liu’s voice, he immediately felt a warmth go through his heart, and his tone became very gentle.

n

n“Yes, it’s me. Where are you now? I read the email you sent me. Did you get into trouble?”

n

nFang Liu’s words made Zhu Chang sober up a lot.

n

nHe slightly tightened the grip on his wine glass, and after a long while, he said, “I’m fine. I just don’t want to stay in Southern City anymore. I’m going somewhere else…”

n

n“Have you already left Southern City? Where are you now?” Fang Liu’s womanly intuition told her that something wasn’t right with Zhu Chang’s tone.

n

nWhat exactly happened?

n

nZhu Chang looked around, and after a long while, he gathered his courage and said, “I haven’t left yet. I’m at Qingge Bar. The plane ticket I booked is for tomorrow. Before I leave, can I… See you one last time?”

n

nZhu Chang closed his eyes. He knew that he had broken the contract. He had promised that man that he would never see Fang Liu again.

n

nBut he couldn’t bear to…

n

nHe had watched this little girl grow up for more than a decade. But now, he knew that he would never see her again. His heart ached so much. Even when he was drunk, he could only think of Fang Liu.

n

nFang Liu hurriedly said, “Wait for me there. I’ll come over right now!”
