“He liked to keep to himself since he was a child, and he doesn’t have many girlfriends. I know him very much since I’m his mother, so I can tell for sure that he’s serious this time.”
Fu Zhi tightened her grip on the cup. She did not know how she should explain to Huo Ningxin about the relationship between her and Li Nanli.
Huo Ningxin did not know about her thoughts at all. She grabbed Fu Zhi’s hand and sobbed, “I’m really happy that you can accept Xiao Li. None of the elders in the Li Family care about him, and he has gone through too many difficulties since he was a kid. I’m really afraid that he would face a lot of trouble finding the girl that he loves. Zhizhi, you’re a good girl, so promise me. Promise me that you will stay with him and never give up on him, okay?”
If Huo Ningxin tried to force her to accept her son, Fu Zhi would shake her head, but that was not the case right now.
Huo Ningxin nearly passed out from crying, and not to mention that they had accepted 90 million from her.
Fu Zhi tried to pull her hand out of Huo Ningxin’s grip but to no avail.
Huo Ningxin wiped the tears off her cheeks with a handkerchief.
“Don’t cry,” Fu Zhi tried to calm Huo Ningxin down but she failed. Huo Ningxin cried even harder.
Fu Zhi thought for a while. She couldn’t bear to see a woman crying in front of her and Li Nanli indeed treated her well. As such, she said in a serious voice, “I will treat him well and I will protect him.”
Huo Ningxin, who nearly passed out several times, stopped crying instantly and gave Fu Zhi a big smile, looking entirely different from the rich woman who nearly fainted from crying a few seconds earlier.
“I knew it. I know you like Xiao Li also. As long as you guys can stay together, I will be happy.”
Fu Zhi was speechless.
It was only then she realized she had fallen into Huo Ningxin’s trap.

At night, Ouyang Ya was waiting anxiously for the good news from Huo Ningxin’s friend. After all, they were still in the middle of the exchange meeting. If Fu Zhi was affected, then it would benefit Ouyang Ya a lot.
Huo Ningxin coming to Yu City to look for Fu Zhi was not a secret at all, and someone informed Ouyang Ya about this matter very soon.
Ouyang Ya was entertaining Mu Chenxi. When she heard the report from the servant, she spun her head around to look at him and asked, “So? Did Mrs. Li slap Fu Zhi in her face?”
“… Nope. They got along pretty well, and I heard that Mrs. Li gave Fu Zhi’s brother a lot of money.”
Ouyang Ya was stunned. The smile on her face disappeared as she said in disbelief, “What do you mean by that? Mrs. Li didn’t ask Fu Zhi to stay away from President Li by giving her money?”
“Nope. I followed Fu Zhi all the way and found that Mrs. Li and Fu Zhi added each other on WeChat. She even took Fu Zhi to a high-end luxury store.”
“Has Mrs. Li gone crazy? What the hell was she doing?”
Ouyang Ya was devastated. She did not expect Huo Ning would accept Fu Zhi despite her humble background.
The servant did not say anything anymore and went away.
Mu Chenxi looked at Ouyang Ya and comforted, “Maybe Mrs. Li has her own plan. I heard that the butcher will give the pig a lot of food one day before he slaughters the pig…”
Ouyang Ya felt Mu Chenxi was right.
Huo Ningxin was a smart woman. Ouyang Ya heard that Huo Ningxin was originally not Li Nanli’s father’s wife. She was his kept woman, and she only officially became his wife after she forced Li Nanli’s father’s first love away. Therefore, Ouyang Ya was certain that a woman like her was very crafty. Maybe she was preparing something and was waiting for the perfect moment to deliver a fatal blow to Fu Zhi.
