Tang Jin felt that he truly admired Fu Yan Ting. With the woman he deeply loved in danger, he could remain so calm, not rescuing her, and even pushing her towards He Yun.
At times, Tang Jin even doubted if Fu Yan Ting’s love for Yan Xi was genuine or an act.
After the funeral of Elder Mr. He.
He Rou ostentatiously brought Xia Shi Xue back to the He family.
Seeing this, He Yun couldn’t help but frown and said coldly, "Aunt, although you are my aunt, Xi Xi returning to the He family was approved by Grandpa. Now, you are trying to drive Xi Xi away. Are you not taking Grandpa’s words seriously?"
"He Yun, I know you have feelings for this woman, but be sober. Ever since this woman returned to the He family, our He family has had no peace. Your grandfather was usually in good health, but now he’s gone. Don’t you suspect this woman?"
"Big Brother, I know you are biased towards Yan Xi, but last time, it wasn’t me who pushed her. She deliberately fell into the pool to frame me. This woman will do anything to achieve her goals. Be sober and don’t be deceived by her."
He Rou and Xia Shi Xue spoke one after another, their words becoming more unpleasant with each sentence.
They showed no regard for Yan Xi.
Yan Xi couldn’t help but frown.
In fact, Yan Xi knew very well that the mother and daughter were deliberately bad-mouthing her here.
"Even so, Grandpa allowed Xi Xi to return to the He family. Although Grandpa is no longer here, no one can drive Xi Xi away."
He Yun’s attitude was firm. Even knowing Yan Xi’s true nature, He Yun had no intention of letting Yan Xi leave.
Xia Shi Xue and He Rou saw that He Yun was unmoved by any persuasion and were furious. However, they dared not truly do anything to He Yun.
After all, in the He family now, He Yun was the one in charge.
Before, Elder Mr. He had kept He Yun in check.
Now that Elder Mr. He was gone, the straw holding He Yun down had also disappeared.
He Rou and Xia Shi Xue were driven out of the house by the butler.
Yan Xi looked at He Yun and finally let down all her pretense. Looking at He Yun, Yan Xi said, "He Yun, you really don’t need to offend them for my sake. To put it bluntly, they are your real relatives, and I am dispensable."
"Xi Xi, I won’t allow you to say that. In fact, you are also my closest relative. To tell you the truth, I am here to protect you on Fu Yan Ting’s orders."
As He Yun said this, he realized he had let slip a secret. He quickly corrected himself and explained, "When Yan Ting was still alive, he told me to take care of you and protect you. I cannot go back on my word."
Yan Xi remained silent after hearing He Yun's words.
Yan Xi felt that she couldn’t even handle such a small matter and still had to rely on Fu Yan Ting for protection.
Elder Mr. He’s death made Fu Yan Ting even more certain that there was a traitor among them in the special police force.
Fu Yan Ting did not tell Han Ming Xuan, but went to Yan City alone to arrest the leader of the mysterious organization.
But when Fu Yan Ting reappeared, no one believed it. People said Fu Yan Ting was alive again.
Some even said that rich people were truly capricious; even death was a game for them.
When Fu Yan Ting appeared before Yan Xi, Yan Xi still couldn't believe her eyes.
She couldn’t believe Fu Yan Ting was truly alive.
Fu Yan Ting stepped forward, pulled Yan Xi into his arms, and whispered in her ear, "Xi Xi, I’m back. This time, I will never leave your side again."
Hearing Fu Yan Ting’s voice, Yan Xi still found it unbelievable.
She felt as if it were all a dream.
Yan Xi pushed Fu Yan Ting’s hands away and maintained a safe distance.
Then, she said softly, "Lin Nan, I know it’s you. Stop impersonating your elder brother. It’s really meaningless like this."
After speaking, Yan Xi left Fu Yan Ting, who was in disarray, and returned to her room.
Fu Yan Ting really wanted to tell Yan Xi that he was indeed Fu Yan Ting, her man.
But Fu Yan Ting didn't get the chance to say such things.
He Yun sized up Fu Yan Ting and said, "You pretended to be dead at first and didn't contact Yan Xi. During that time, Yan Xi had the hardest and most painful time. Now that she has finally gotten through it and forced herself to accept the news of your death, you reappear before Yan Xi and tell her you are alive and not dead. How do you expect Yan Xi to believe you, to accept you?"
Fu Yan Ting had never thought that far. But at this moment, He Yun’s words struck him like a thunderclap, making him suddenly realize where his problem lay.
Fu Yan Ting glanced at He Yun and explained, "I don't plan to leave Yan Xi's side this time now that I'm back."
"You need to explain this to Yan Xi. It’s useless to tell me. I can’t accept your arrangements on Yan Xi’s behalf."
Fu Yan Ting looked helpless. He also wanted to explain to Yan Xi, but Yan Xi wouldn't see him. What could Fu Yan Ting do?
What else could Fu Yan Ting do?
When Fu Yan Ting returned to his villa, Xin Yi was so excited that he couldn’t speak upon seeing him.
He cried and said, "Boss, Young Master Tang told me you were dead, and I didn’t believe him. Now, seeing you here safe and sound, I am truly so happy and excited."
"Actually, this was just a plan. The leader of that mysterious organization wanted to kill me, so I went along with it, jumping off the ship before it exploded. I just didn't expect the plan to change. If I had known, I wouldn't have faked my death."
Regardless, it was enough for Xin Yi as long as Fu Yan Ting was back.
Xin Yi looked at the unharmed Fu Yan Ting and was so excited that he almost self-harmed.
"Boss, I told you that Miss Yan is a jinx. Look, when she was by your side, you never had a moment of peace. Now that she’s back at the He family, the old Mr. He was killed by her. Boss, I know what I’m saying might be excessive, but for your safety, I still hope you can stay away from Miss Yan. Only then can you live a long life."
Fu Yan Ting swept Xin Yi with a indifferent glance.
Xin Yi meant well and had no bad intentions, but Fu Yan Ting would not allow anyone to speak ill of Yan Xi.
"I know what I’m doing. Don’t say such things in front of Yan Xi in the future, so she doesn’t overthink."
Although Fu Yan Ting’s words were phrased politely, they were also a warning to Xin Yi. No matter how flawed Yan Xi might be, she was his boss's woman. He should speak to Yan Xi with respect.
