In any case, adding a contact method wouldn't allow Ms. Bai Qianqian to spirit her away, no matter how capable she was.

Thinking this way, she felt she wasn't in such danger after all.

So she took out her phone and said with a smile, "Sure, but I'm a high school student. I have a lot of classes usually, and even after school, I have to do homework at home. I might not have free time to hang out or eat with you."

When Bai Qianqian heard that Shi Li was just a high school student, she was even more satisfied as she looked her over.

She scrutinized Shi Li up and down without showing any emotion. Bai Qianqian didn't even notice that her gaze was like someone selecting pork at a market, or even more like an ancient slave trader appraising potential slaves.

If Shi Li didn't know about Bai Qianqian's secret activities, she wouldn't have found anything wrong with her gaze.

Now, however, with her preconceptions, she felt Bai Qianqian's eyes were full of calculation.

Before Shi Li could scan Bai Qianqian's QR code, Fu Huixing stood up.

"Let me add you too."

However, since Fu Huixing was closer to the two of them, even though he took out his phone first, Bai Qianqian still added Shi Li's contact before his.

Ms. Bai Qianqian wouldn't refuse someone who actively offered themselves. Boys could be just as useful as girls.

Shi Li was shocked. She'd seen people volunteering for death, but never someone volunteering their kidneys: [Burma needs your kidneys]

Fu Huixing: ...What an ungrateful little brat

Although Shi Li left the Fu Family Villa with her parents, the lively atmosphere in the Fu household continued.

With no outsiders present, Madam Fu no longer wished to keep up her facade.

The moment Shi Li's family of three left the villa, Madam Fu's face fell.

"It's getting late now, and it's not easy for Zhanyang to go home. You should stay here tonight."

The Second Young Master Fu naively replied, "Alright, I'll ask the housekeeper to prepare a guest room for Qianqian."

Madam Fu didn't even spare a glance for this foolish son, "Miss Bai isn't part of our family after all. You're just boyfriend and girlfriend. It's not convenient for her to stay at our house, as it might cause gossip. You're a boy, so you don't need to worry about rumors. But Miss Bai is a girl, and it's different for her. You should know that rumors can kill. We'll trouble the driver to make an extra trip tonight to send Miss Bai home."

Madam Fu's words made sense. Even if the Second Young Master Fu wanted to object, he couldn't find any logical flaws in her argument. Moreover, this simpleton thought his mother was being considerate of his precious Qianqian.

The gentle, virtuous, and seemingly helpless Ms. Bai Qianqian certainly wouldn't raise any objections. She tried to give her boyfriend a look of disappointment, but her good boyfriend didn't notice.

When Bai Qianqian had urged her boyfriend to bring her home, she had already anticipated that the Fu family would strongly oppose her relationship with Fu Zhanyang once they knew about her background. However, she hadn't expected that the Fu family would have guests today, which prevented Fu Zhanyang from fully introducing her to Mr. Fu and Madam Fu, and thus they hadn't had the chance to vehemently oppose her as a potential daughter-in-law.

Although things hadn't gone according to her plan, today's gains were still quite substantial. The information she had heard about Fu Corporation's future plans was extremely useful.

Moreover, she had spotted two promising targets.

Overall, today's harvest was quite bountiful.

Fu Huixing was only half a member of the Fu family. He never stayed overnight at the Fu family's old mansion, even during holidays when the whole family gathered.

When Bai Qianqian left, it was already close to nine o'clock, but Fu Huixing hadn't left yet.

Madam Fu wondered if he intended to stay overnight this time.

She could only think about this, as asking outright would seem like she was trying to chase him away.

Unsure of Fu Huixing's intentions, Madam Fu prepared as if he were staying. She asked the housekeeper to ready a guest room and change the bedding.

However, after Bai Qianqian left, Fu Huixing took the initiative to speak to Mr. Fu, "Uncle, I have something important to discuss with you."

Fu Huixing had always maintained a low profile in the family, so when Mr. Fu heard his nephew seriously say he had something important to discuss, he was slightly taken aback, wondering what it could be.

When the Second Young Master Fu heard that his cousin wanted to talk business with his father, his curiosity was piqued. He approached, saying, "What important matter? Let me listen too."

This was certainly not something he could know about. Firstly, it concerned him, and secondly, his loose-lipped cousin could easily expose the matter.

Before Fu Huixing could refuse, Mr. Fu shot a stern look at his foolish son, "This doesn't concern you. Don't interfere."

Fu Huixing thought: It actually does concern him, which is exactly why he can't know about it.

The Second Young Master Fu had eagerly rushed over, but his father wouldn't let him listen.

Although the Second Young Master Fu was naive and rebellious, it didn't mean he had grown up in a permissive family. On the contrary, Mr. Fu and Old Mr. Fu were extremely authoritative and inviolable in front of the younger generation.

So the Second Young Master Fu didn't dare to eavesdrop.

It was the first time his nephew had approached him with important business, so Mr. Fu treated it with equal seriousness. He led Fu Huixing to the reception room usually reserved for important guests.

The two sat face to face, and he poured his nephew a glass of water. At his age, drinking tea late at night made it difficult to sleep, so even though they were sitting at the tea table, he only drank water.

Mr. Fu was not at all as stern as he had been with his second son. He asked kindly, "What did you want to talk to your uncle about?"

Fearing that Fu Huixing might have trouble starting, he probed further, "Are you having problems with your studies, or are you unhappy at your current school and want to transfer, or is someone bullying you outside of school?"

These were all the problems Mr. Fu could think of that a boy of Fu Huixing's age might encounter.

Fu Huixing's expression remained calm, "It's none of those. It's about the female classmate my second cousin brought home today."

"What's wrong? Do you think there's something off about her?"

Mr. Fu felt a warmth in his heart, not expecting that his seemingly aloof nephew, who always kept a distance from the family, would be willing to warn him about his foolish son's girlfriend being problematic.

He only thought that by "off," Fu Huixing meant that the girl was with Fu Zhanyang simply because their family was wealthy.

To be honest, in their social circle, such situations were all too common.

He could understand it to some extent. People always want something from each other in a relationship. You might be attracted to someone's youth and beauty, while they might be attracted to your wealth and naivety. It's all normal.

Of course, if this girl was just materialistic, as long as the family could maintain their wealth, she could still have a good life with his foolish son.

If the girl was even more unscrupulous, she might treat his son as a cash cow, aiming to get a substantial share of marital assets after a divorce. That possibility couldn't be ruled out either.

Passionate love before marriage could turn into the coldest indifference afterwards.

This was what Mr. Fu was thinking, so he assumed Fu Huixing wanted to warn him about this.

Touched that his nephew didn't consider himself an outsider, Mr. Fu thought that even if he already knew about this, he shouldn't discourage the boy's confidence. He decided he must act sufficiently surprised later.

Fu Huixing hadn't yet figured out how to tactfully tell his uncle about this matter, so he said, "Her relationship with my cousin might not be simply about money."

Mr. Fu thought: Ah, this isn't what I expected. If that girl isn't simply after money by getting close to my son, what else could it be? Could it be for love? Is this girl genuinely interested in my son as a person?
