The man's tone, although congratulatory, revealed indifference.

Xie Chaochao's heart was beating like a drum, and she felt that he was smiling with a dagger hidden behind his smile.

Turning back, she saw Fu Wenlun, who had gone home and changed into a suit and tie, unbuckled his wristbands and walked around her, going straight to Chu Heng's bedside, bending down with a smile, staring at him.

"Are you recovering well?"

Chu Heng had just woken up, and in a daze he still forced the corners of his mouth to move, his voice sounding like sandpaper, "Thanks to big brother... I'm fine... cough cough..."

Fu Wenlun stared at his throat without saying a word. The atmosphere was weird and terrifying.

Xie Chaochao hurriedly picked up the cup of water to feed him, fearing that Fu Wenlun would do something out of line the next second, so he explained, "Brother, Gu Feng just woke up and needs a while to recover. Why don't we let him take a break today and talk again tomorrow."

Fu Wenlun raised his eyebrows, "What did you call me?"

After these words were spoken, Xie Chaochao's breathing paused for a second. Although she was engaged to Chu Heng and was nominally Fu Wenlun's future sister-in-law, their relationship was complicated and she had never used this title before.

I blurted it out in a hurry.

She could feel the sharp gaze above her head, cutting her body and mind inch by inch. Just when she didn't know what to do, a cold hand held hers.

"You should... call me big brother... We are engaged..."

These words seemed to drain away all his strength. He coughed violently a few times and fainted again. However, the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be ignored. He was very happy.

Xie Chaochao hurried out to call a doctor, leaving Fu Wenlun staring at her back with a gloomy face.

When Xie Chaochao brought the doctor back to the ward, Fu Wenlun had already left. After confirming again and again that Chu Heng was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief.

She hesitated for a long time, and then, as if making up her mind, she sent a message to Fu Wenlun.

"Chu Heng is awake. According to the agreement, we should end it now."

Every time, Fu Wenlun was like an untamed wolf, and he would not stop until Xie Chaochao was tortured to a pulp.

Once, she couldn't help it and smashed the goblet, picked up the pieces and threatened him to stop. She was weak all over and was no match for the strong Fu Wenlun. Not only did he snatch it away easily, but he also made her lie in bed for three days.

Finally she couldn't help it and asked him in a hoarse voice.

"How can you let me go?"

She clearly remembered the man putting warm water in her hands, gently stroking the strands of hair sticking to her forehead, and said with a half-smile, "Wait until that useless guy wakes up."

Now, Chu Heng woke up.

It's time for them to end it. Fu Wenlun always keeps his word.

She waited with anticipation from the afternoon to the next day, and her name was still the last one in the chat box between the two of them.

She found that she couldn't understand Fu Wenlun at all.

Amidst the anxiety, the door was pushed open.

Fu's mother was overjoyed and rushed in smelling of cigarettes and alcohol to check on Chu Heng on the bed.

"Awake? What did the doctor say?"

Xie Chaochao told him everything. Seeing her excited and tearful eyes, she held Chu Heng's hand and rubbed it, "That's great, that's great. We can finally go back to the Fu family. I knew there would always be a way out!"

"How can the Fu family let Fu Wenlun manage it alone? My son must have a share too! The family property must be given to us!"

She turned around and suddenly looked Xie Chaochao up and down with a look of disdain.

"You used to be the spoiled daughter of the Hua family, but you didn't know how to dress yourself."

"It's a joke that he is not favored in the Fu family, and the woman he finds is not good enough."

Xie Chaochao raised his hand and looked at the white shirt that was pilling after washing.

"Auntie, this dress is made of good material and is convenient for movement. If you don't like it, I'll change it."

She turned to leave, and Fu's mother took out a wad of money from her pearl bag and threw it into her arms, "Don't change it. It's a happy event that Gu Feng woke up. Buy a new one to get rid of the bad luck."

"Don't go out and let people laugh at us, mother and son."

Xie Chaochao was puzzled because Chu Heng was an illegitimate child and had a car accident just after he returned to his ancestral home, which led to the Fu family not paying much attention to him.

Fu's mother spends Chu Heng's medical expenses on drinking and drinking all day long, and also asks Xie Chaochao to work part-time to earn money for the medical expenses. Where does she get the money to be kind enough to give it to herself?

Seeing her hesitation, Fu's mother frowned and said, "Take it. Come with me to see the old lady of the Fu family tomorrow."

Under normal circumstances, Fu's mother would definitely not be willing to do so.

But after many years, she finally received a call from the old lady of the Gu family this morning, asking her to bring Xie Chaochao back to her hometown for dinner. This was a good omen for her and her son to return to their hometown, and she would definitely not miss it.

As long as she can make the old lady happy, she will pretend to dislike Xie Chaochao no matter how much she dislikes him.

It was a great honor to be invited by the Gu family, but Xie Chaochao refused without a second thought.

"I'm sorry, Auntie. I have to take care of Gu Feng tomorrow, so I won't go."

Fu's mother rolled her eyes and said, "The Fu family will arrange special care tomorrow. There's no need for you to pretend."

The retreat was blocked, so Xie Chaochao had to go even if he didn’t want to.

When she thought about meeting Fu Wenlun when she returned home tomorrow, she trembled in her heart.

Looking at Xie Chaochao's pale face, Fu's mother seemed to guess something, "What are you hesitating about?"

"Are you afraid of running into Fu Wenlun?"

Xie Chaozhao was startled and looked up to see a sneer flashing across Fu's mother's face.

How did she know? Was she discovered?

Fu's mother tsk-tsks, "Does he think he can stop Gu Feng from returning to the Fu family? After being the head of the family for several years, does he really think he is a god? Don't worry, he has a date tomorrow and doesn't have time."

It turns out to be this.

Xie Chaozhao relaxed all over, picked up the water cup, took a sip of water, and tried to calm down.

I quickly responded, "Date?"

Fu Wenlun was the leader of the Fu family's enterprise, and he was the man at the top. He was a man who never had any scandals and always kept to his duty. He was the man that could get him a date...

Fu's mother sneered at her and looked her up and down with disdain, "Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know?"

"The true daughter of the Hua family has been found."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xie Chaochao's grip on the water cup suddenly tightened.

The inexplicable sourness washed away all the remaining attachment to the Hua family in her heart.

She had to remind herself that she was a counterfeit, a fake, and didn't deserve the Hua family's love at all.

Fu's mother didn't care about Xie Chaochao's almost pale face. She grabbed Chu Heng's hand and said with regret, "Alas, my Gu Feng is also unlucky. After all, he didn't marry the real daughter of the Hua family. Fu Wenlun got there first. I'm afraid that in a few days, he won't be able to drink their wedding wine."

Back then, the Fu family was the most powerful, but the Hua family was not far behind.

In order to consolidate Chu Heng's position in the Fu family and to disgust Fu Wenlun, she tried her best to match Chu Heng with Xie Chaochao, but she didn't expect that Xie Chaochao was exposed as a fake.

It was too late to break up, the two secretly decided to spend their lives together, and Chu Heng got into a car accident.

Fu Wenlun got it right. He did nothing but fulfilled his engagement and married the real daughter.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Fu's mother let go of Chu Heng's hand and stood up.

"Okay, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Don't embarrass me tomorrow."

Xie Chao nodded woodenly, with Fu's mother's words echoing in his mind.

The real daughter has been found, and she is going to marry Fu Wenlun.

There is no going back.

With a blank look in his eyes, he sat down on the stool...
