“…That’s what you said.”

"That's what I said."

"I want to record..."

"……it is good."

Qi Yan gently wiped Shen Rao's tears with a wet tissue while repeating what she had just said. He lowered his narrow red eyes, finished the backup, and put away his phone with satisfaction.

Qi Yan sighed lightly. It seemed that her credibility rating was quite low with Shen Rao.

Shen Rao let her wipe his tears, squinted his eyes, and looked at her through his clear eyes.

"What is the Elders Council?"

"..."

Qi Yan stopped holding the wet wipes, but quickly continued, with no visible change on his face.

"Did you hear everything just now?"

"I only listened to half of it."

Shen Rao told the truth, but was afraid that she would misunderstand him, so he quickly added, "I didn't eavesdrop on you on purpose, I just accidentally..."

The further I talk, the less confident I feel.

He had just finished answering Chen Huai's call and was about to come in when he happened to hear Bai Ya's words and for some unknown reason did not interrupt.

Qi Yan didn't care. She wiped his tears, threw the wet tissue into the trash can, and then spoke slowly.

"The second right to speak in the Qi family is in the hands of the Elders Council. It is a discussion hall composed of several elders, and some decisions made by the head of the family must also be voted on and approved by them."

This can also be considered a kind of check and balance of power.

“How can we gain their approval?”

"..."

Qi Yan probably didn't expect him to ask this. She was stunned for a moment, then stared into his black eyes that were full of sincerity.

"You don't need their approval, as long as I approve of you."

"..."

Shen Rao almost forgot how to breathe, and only came to his senses when his face turned red.

"Ahem, won't they embarrass you?"

He stared at her and asked, not wanting to miss any details of her expression.

Unfortunately, trying to understand Qi Yan's thoughts through micro-expressions is simply a pipe dream.

She kept her face calm and chuckled.

"No, don't worry."

Although he said so, Shen Rao didn't believe it.

However, Qi Yan obviously didn't want to talk too much about this topic. As soon as she stood up, her wrist was grabbed. When she looked back, she saw Shen Rao's worried eyes.

"If you have any difficulties, you must tell me, okay?"

"……Um."

Qi Yan lowered her eyes, glanced at him holding her hand tightly, and answered in a low voice.

……

Fu's old house.

After the lawyer left, the family fell into a dull and depressing atmosphere.

Mrs. Fu's hands were shaking when she signed, but she was intimidated by the Qi family, and the Fu family was the one who made the mistake first.

She didn't dare not to sign. She didn't know if it was out of anger or fear, but her hands were still shaking.

Fu Xuhe's face was gloomy. He looked at Fu Yun, who was keeping his head down and silent, and his displeasure almost overflowed from his eyes.

"Fu Yun, the Fu family has raised you for so many years, and you can't even do such a small thing!"

"..."

Fu Yun didn't dare to respond and clenched the hem of her clothes.

The Fu family has done him a favor. Even if this matter is too absurd, it is not his fault and he cannot be dissatisfied.

I don’t know if he was really angry or really afraid of the investigation that Qi Yan mentioned.

Fu Xuhe snorted coldly and issued another ultimatum.

"Director Chen's daughter has a crush on you. Come with me to meet her tomorrow."

"!"

Fu Yun suddenly raised his head and looked at Fu Xuhe in disbelief.

Everyone also focused their attention on him.

"Old Fu, what nonsense are you talking about? Director Chen's daughter is already in her thirties, and I remember she's married!"

Guan Ning couldn't bear to watch it anymore and couldn't help but speak out.

"They are a couple who appear to be in harmony but are actually estranged from each other. They have always been playing their own games."

Fu Xuhe said indifferently.

"Fu Xuhe!"

"Alright! With the current situation at home, only Director Chen can help us speak up! He is willing to give us this opportunity now, which shows that he thinks highly of the Fu family! Otherwise, do you have a better idea?!"

"Fu Xuhe...did you do something outside?"

After all, they had been married for more than 20 years, and Guan Ning could tell something was wrong.

Fu Xuhe's expression changed instantly.

"Don't talk nonsense! I'm doing this for the Fu family!"

The couple started arguing in the hall. Fu Yun looked at the two people who were arguing with red faces and grabbed his arm even tighter.

It was not until the youngest daughter, Fu Fu, started crying loudly because of her parents' quarrel that Fu Yun hurriedly let go of her hand and spoke loudly to the couple while comforting her younger sister.

"I want to go!"

"Xiao Yun, what did you say?"

Guan Ning's voice trembled a little.

"Stop arguing, I'm willing to go..."

"Okay, okay, this is what you said, I'll arrange it right away."

Fu Xuhe looked delighted.

Guan Ning beside him covered his face in pain and sobbed.

She is so useless that she can't even protect her child...

Just when Fu Xuhe was about to call Director Chen anxiously, another group of people came in from outside the door. The leader of the group smiled and handed over his business card.

"Hello, we are entrusted by Miss Qi to deal with Mr. Fu Yun's household registration issue and terminate your adoption relationship at the same time."

"what?"

The Fu family was stunned.

Even Fu Yun, who had already given up hope and resigned himself to his fate, was stunned.

They then vaguely remembered what Qi Yan had said, "Give Fu Yun freedom."

Wait until everything is processed.

The man handed the still confused Fu Yun a black gold-plated business card and said with a smile.

"This is also what Miss Qi ordered. Your talent should not be buried. If you are willing, you can join this laboratory."

Fu Yun held the business card a little tightly.

He knew that this laboratory was state-owned and difficult to enter. Even if he had talent and ability, it would be difficult for him to get in without qualifications and introductions.

Originally, he thought Qi Yan helped him because he wanted to use him.

After all, there is no free lunch in this world, and no one will help him without asking for anything in return.

However...it's not.

The man didn't say much, just gave me his business card and left.

Fu Yun was left standing there in a daze, staring stiffly at the business card in his hand.

For a long time.

He squatted down holding the business card, hugged himself, and tears flowed uncontrollably, wetting the dust on the bluestone floor.

He thought that it was good enough that the man would help him cover up his shame...

Fu Yun never thought about it.

In this winter when he is twenty-one, the gods will shine their afterglow on him, drag him out of the quagmire, and give him a new life.

……

When Qi Yan received the follow-up news from the Fu family, she was leaning on the sofa in Shen Rao's office, playing the Candy Crush game that Zuo Yu Anli had given her.

The other party's report came from the headset.

Fu Yun left the Fu family, but still went back to visit from time to time, probably because he was worried about Fu Fu.

The things she had seen before were also verified.

Fu Xuhe did do some shameful things behind the scenes.

Come to think of it, if he could even plot against his own children, his hands couldn't be clean.

The Fu family is in turmoil now.

Hearing that Mrs. Fu had been hospitalized due to anger, Guan Ning made up her mind to divorce Fu Xuhe and returned to her hometown in the south with her children yesterday.

At this moment.

Fu Xuhe has been imprisoned, and Old Mrs. Fu is in hospital, being taken care of by Fu Yubei and others.

After this commotion, they were afraid they wouldn’t be able to return to the military compound.

The Fu family still has some assets, so they are not left without a place to stay, but they have completely lost face.

Qi Yan cleared a row of blocks and looked up at Shen Rao who was signing a document.

"After get off work, I'm going to the hospital."
