Chapter 108: Outsider

"President Luo, are you really sure you'll have this much money to squander?"

Luo Zhou hadn't spoken yet when Lu Xiwán spoke first.

"President Fu, this is too bullying, isn't it? Wan and I aren't your merchandise, nor anyone's existing property; no one has the right to dispose of us!"

She hates being displayed openly, priced like a commodity in a transaction.

Fu Sijue ignored her, merely smiling as he looked toward Luo Zhou.

"President Luo, since you're willing to send me money, I'll gladly accept it."

"However, Yao Yao's body hasn't fully recovered, and Miss Xi must continue staying at the Fu Family to treat Yao Yao."

Fu Sijue had long been prepared and wasn't at all afraid that Luo Zhou would flee with people.

As soon as the words fell, the door was suddenly opened from outside, and Zhong Yun burst in, his face full of anger.

"Sorry, President Fu, this gentleman insists on seeing you right now; I truly can't stop him," Shen Shu's usually composed face showed a hint of nervousness.

He had never shown such a slip before.

Fu Sijue waved his hand to send him out, staring directly at Zhong Yun's angry gaze.

"We were just talking about Mr. Zhong Yun, and I didn't expect him to arrive so quickly."

Lu Xiwán, standing beside him, watched Fu Sijue's uncharacteristic behavior, her mind filled with curses.

Of course, there was even more criticism aimed at Fu Sijue.

Zhong Yun didn't buy Fu Sijue's act at all, letting out a cold laugh, "From now on I'll take full charge of Fu Yao's illness; Wanwan won't intervene thereafter."

"There are plenty of people lining up to wait for her treatment; there isn't that much time to deal with a stranger's family matters."

The term "outsider" pierced Fu Sijue solidly.

His gaze instantly turned gloomy.

Lu Xiwán could even clearly feel the anger radiating from him.

Zhong Yun looked at the two wooden‑standing people whose qi didn't align, and each of them was directly dragged away.

"When you're in front of me you're slick‑tongued, yet the moment you're before Fu Sijue your mouth seems sewn shut?"

The moment he stepped out, Zhong Yun began impatiently berating Lu Xiwán, and also gave Luo Zhou a reprimand.

"When they add conditions you just add money; how could I not have known before that the Luo Family's money is endless?"

"If you like doing charity, just donate it straight to me!"

Zhong Yun had a strange feeling: if he hadn't come today, those two would truly be trapped by that old fox Fu Sijue, unable to return home.

"Yes, yes, yes, how could I be as clever as you."

Luo Zhou helplessly echoed, and when he locked eyes with Lu Xiwán, both found the same helplessness reflected.

This Zhong Yun, usually modest and courteous, is overly gentle to everyone.

Only when it concerns Xi Wan does his temper flare unusually.

The two exchanged wordless looks, understanding Zhong Yun's good intentions, and could only lower their heads to listen to his scolding.

After a while, just as they were about to leave the company, Xi Wan abruptly stopped, "Senior Brother, it's not quitting time yet; you pulling me out early, how am I supposed to go back?"

The elevator just now was still full of company staff.

Even though they're not from the same department, Zhong Yun's angry demeanor was highly suspicious.

"You really got addicted to working for others?"

"You turned down such good conditions abroad, then eagerly ran back to be a hired hand for Fu Sijue."

"You love labor that much!"

Zhong Yun's words were sharp and on point, each hitting the mark, leaving Lu Xiwán speechless.

"Senior Brother, you were too impulsive just now; Yao Yao's condition isn't as simple as you think."

"He's been through too much before; my leaving this post won't help his recovery at all."
