Jian Wan pushed the door open in a frenzy.

Fu Yuan appeared before her eyes just as Fu Li had seen earlier.

“Brother Yuan, how did you end up in this state?”

Seeing Fu Yuan in such a sorry state, Jian Wan’s heart ached. Tears streamed down her face. She held her chest and rushed forward. She wanted to help Fu Yuan relieve his pent-up emotions, but Fu Yuan avoided her. He looked at her coldly and arrogantly.

“Kneel down. Jian Yan broke my arms. If you pin me down, you’ll only add to my injuries. Help me with your hands and mouth. I have something to ask you after you’re done.”

Jian Wan felt embarrassed.

It wasn’t that she hadn’t helped Brother Yuan in the past, but he had never spoken to her in such a tone.

Considering Fu Yuan’s injuries and her future happiness, Jian Wan still obediently did as she was told.

Kneeling on the cold tile floor, she worked laboriously.

More than an hour later, Jian Wan’s hands and mouth were both sore. She was so tired that she could not hold on anymore. Only then did Fu Yuan’s desire slowly die down.

Now that he was out of that state, the pain in his arm was evident.

Fu Yuan was furious and he kicked Jian Wan, who was already exhausted, to the ground. He said mercilessly, “Take my phone and contact my family doctor. Ask him to come and treat my injuries. Give me an explanation. Explain why you brought me that cup of water.”

Jian Wan cried on the floor. “Brother Yuan, I don’t understand…”

“I brought you a normal glass of warm water. There was definitely no problem with it. Think about our relationship. Why would I drug you or hurt you?”

After she drugged Fu Yuan, she was worried that Fu Yuan would be disappointed in her. She had asked her mother about it, but Lin Zhi had simply told her that she would be fine as long as she refused to admit to it.

“Ridiculous. Don’t tell me this happened to me out of the blue, Wan’er.” Fu Yuan’s tone was still questioning, but he called her Wan’er and his attitude softened.

There was no need for Wan’er to do this. But other than her, no one else had the chance to do so. These two thoughts constantly tugged at his mind.

When Jian Wan heard Fu Yuan call her Wan’er, she was ecstatic. She felt that she had escaped a calamity. She struggled to get up and take her phone.

“I don’t know, but we can investigate it slowly. There will definitely be evidence to prove my innocence. Brother Yuan, I’ll call the doctor to treat your arm first.”

After she made the call, she thought that Fu Yuan would praise her gently, but what greeted her was a questioning gaze and cold words.

“Get changed and go out. I don’t need anyone to accompany me.”

Jian Wan was trembling all over. She weakly nodded before finding a spare dress and changing into it before leaving the room.

Fu Yuan was still suspicious of her. What should she do? She was going to find her mother. The latter would definitely give her a solution.

On the sixth floor, Lin Zhi led the middle-aged ladies out of the elevator.

As soon as she got off the elevator, someone said, “Mrs. Lin, you’re too weak. Your elder daughter spoke so disrespectfully to you. Why didn’t you teach her a lesson?”

“Aiya, wasn’t that because President Fu was accompanying her?”

“Stop it. When Mrs. Lin’s two daughters marry into the Fu family, you’ll understand why Mrs. Lin gave in to the elder daughter from the first wife.”

“I see. No wonder. President Fu is indeed a rich husband. She can’t offend him.”

Their tone was not malicious, but more of a teasing tone.

Lin Zhi did not like hearing these words. She clenched her fists and forced a smile out.

“Why would President Fu marry Jian Yan? He must be playing with her. Don’t you know that she has many problems? Not only is she disrespectful to her elders, but her private life is also…”

“Sigh… Forget it. I can’t say too much about the matters of the younger generation. It’s fine as long as you guys understand what I mean.” Lin Zhi put on an act and said meaningfully.

When they heard this, the eyes of several middle-aged noble ladies lit up. Curious, they hurriedly asked, “Go ahead, don’t keep us in suspense. Who do you think we are? It’s not like we’ll spread the private affairs of others.”

“That’s right. Didn’t your elder daughter leave the country long ago? Did she cause some trouble overseas?”

Lin Zhi smiled sheepishly. “She did indeed cause trouble. Back then, she sold her shares and took her family’s money to go overseas. She was just a young girl with money and no backing. It’s so chaotic overseas. I’m sure you can guess what happened.”

She was making things up to ruin Jian Yan’s reputation.

Even though she’d failed to catch Jian Yan in the act, she was sure that the Fu family would never accept Jian Yan if her reputation was bad enough.

Perhaps Fu Li would misunderstand and despise Jian Yan after hearing these rumors. That would be great.

The more Lin Zhi spoke, the happier she became. She satisfied the curiosity of these few people and sent them off. But before she could be any happier, she was welcomed by the sight of her daughter limping over with swollen eyes and torn lips..
