Chapter 275: Now Go Borrow Money

"From now on, don't wear makeup like that; it doesn't look good on you."

Fu Sijue blurted out that sentence abruptly, and Lu Xiwán almost laughed out of anger.

"Then go ahead and tell me what's unflattering about it!"

Because she was angry, Lu Xiwán's tone was also sharp, which Fu Sijue keenly noticed.

"You look good in any style, but today's makeup doesn't suit you," Fu Sijue thought for a moment and said to Lu Xiwán in a sincerely candid tone.

Unfortunately, Lu Xiwán didn't take a word of what he said; she merely sneered, "President Fu is surrounded by beauties like swallows, all those chirping swallows—aren't they all gorgeous? It's only natural that I can't stand watching them."

She hadn't meant it seriously; she only intended to tease Fu Sijue, but Fu Sijue took it seriously.

"There's no beauty around me except you," Fu Sijue, busy defending himself, sounded very urgent, grabbed Lu Xiwán's hand, and because Lu Xiwán was wearing stiletto heels, she lost her balance and fell into his arms.

Smelling the familiar sandalwood fragrance on Fu Sijue, Lucy's ear lobes flushed red with a swish.

"Speak plainly; playing rogue isn't a skill!"

"Is it also rogue to lay a hand on one's own lady?"

As soon as the words fell, Fu Sijue's gaze suddenly turned fierce.

"Did you drink tonight?"

Even if Si Jiuyin were the strongest, she's still a woman; the two of them, both beautiful, naturally draw attention when out.

When real danger arrives, a group of big men surrounds them, and even Si Jiuyin's presence is useless.

Lu Xiwán thought, "That's not good," and quickly broke free from Fu Sijue's tightly restraining arms.

"I was just a bit happier during dinner, had a little wine; I'm an adult and can take care of myself. Don't watch me like a daughter."

Lu Xiwán's heart thumped like a rabbit, fearing Fu Sijue would discover her little secret.

"I'm afraid something will happen between you and Si Jiuyin."

"Then put your heart back where it belongs; I'll protect myself," Lu Xiwán, fearing to say too much, fled back to her bedroom.

Fu Sijue kept feeling that Lu Xiwán was a bit odd today, but couldn't pinpoint why.

After Lu Xiwán left, Shen Shu called a driver to take him home; even when he sat on the sofa at home, Shen Shu remained dazed.

From the first day he settled in the Fu Clan, he never thought about leaving.

Under Fu Zhuo's aggressive pressure, even a heart as solid as rock made Shen Shu entertain a fleeting thought.

He could ignore himself, but not his family.

Voluntarily leaving the Fu Clan and being pushed out are different.

The more he thought, the more restless he became, so Shen Shu simply closed his eyes and stopped pondering.

Yet fate seemed to mock him; just as he closed his eyes, his phone rang, and for the first time he didn't answer, but the phone kept ringing like a death knell.

Knowing his impatience, he picked up the call.

"Bro… bro, come save me! Save me!"

Before Shen Zeyu could finish, the phone was violently snatched away.

A voice on the other end cackled, "You're Shen Zeyu's brother? I heard you're rich; send me five million within a day, or you won't see Shen Zeyu again!"

After the call hung up, Shen Shu didn't even have the right to ask a question.
