She looked at Bai Xiong again.

Wan Xiaosu covered her mouth and did not dare to approach him. She was very afraid.

She was afraid of losing her father.

They only recently reunited. How did things end up like this?

Then, there was even bigger news.

Madam Bai was refusing to pay the medical fees. She was also suing the hospital, demanding that Bai Xiong be sent home.

When Bai Xiong found out about this, his expression darkened. “Get me discharged!”

“Dad, you’re in no condition to be discharged. You have to stay here for the time being. Leave those things to me, okay?” Wan Xiaosu wanted to take on that responsibility.

Bai Xiong shook his head. He knew his wife too well.

She was a complete lunatic.

She did things without considering the consequences.

“Xiaosu, stay by Young Master Qin’s side. Don’t get involved, understand? I can solve this. You don’t have to worry.” Bai Xiong patted her head, trying to comfort her.

Wan Xiaosu shook her head. “No, I can’t let anything happen to you.”

“Xiaosu… Be good.” Bai Xiong looked at his sensible child. It was really gratifying, but also very worrying.

If he lost her because of this, he would never forgive himself.

Wan Xiaosu looked at Qin Fu. She couldn’t think of anyone else to turn to.

Qin Fu looked at her too. “Don’t bother yourself with this.”

“You’ll help me?” She looked at Qin Fu in disbelief.

She was a little surprised that he wanted to help this time.

Qin Fu looked at her surprised expression and couldn’t help but feel sad. What did she think of him?

He was surprised to see the shock in her eyes.

“As the son-in-law of the Bai family, I have reason to interfere. The Qin family won’t kick someone when they’re down. Wan Xiaosu, you think too little of me.” Qin Fu’s words made Wan Xiaosu feel a little ashamed.

She shouldn’t make him out to be a villain.

She looked at Qin Fu apologetically and said, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it like that.”

“I’ll forgive you this time. Next time, I’ll have to think about it. I’ll have to consider if helping you out with trivial matters is worth my time.” Qin Fu walked past her without even looking at her. He did not want to hear what she had to say.

Wan Xiaosu was a little sad. She realized that she had done something wrong. She should not have done that.

Song Lianming happened to pass by with the report. Seeing her disappointed expression, he went forward to speak to her. “Sister-in-law, why are you here? Did Qin Fu bully you again? Why do you look so sad?”

“No, I think I misunderstood Qin Fu.” Wan Xiaosu clenched her fists tightly. She had realized that too late.

However, Qin Fu had forced her to get an abortion. He had also wanted her dead.

There was no mistake about that.

However, Qin Fu didn’t seem like that kind of person.

“You’ve misunderstood him, but only he can clear things up. It’s between you and him.” Song Lianming didn’t want to get involved in other people’s private matters. He knew that meddling too much would only bring him trouble.

Song Lianming wasn’t that free.

He walked past Wan Xiaosu.

Wan Xiaosu stepped forward and pulled him back. “Young Master Song, I want to know about my father’s situation. Do we have a good chance of winning against Madam Bai?”

“If Qin Fu makes a move, it will definitely be possible. Moreover, Madam Bai is an alleged murderer. It shouldn’t be a problem to countersue.” Song Lianming looked at Wan Xiaosu’s expression. She clearly underestimated Qin Fu.

It was a little surprising that she underestimated the head of the Qin family.

It was unbelievable.

“I understand. Thank you, Young Master Song.” Wan Xiaosu let him go.

Qin Fu, who had just returned, happened to see her talking to Song Lianming.

His expression was gloomy as he stared in Wan Xiaosu’s direction.

He felt like he was being toyed with. Was this how Wan Xiaosu saw him?

What a joke!

It was too laughable.

Wan Xiaosu…

Madam Bai also found Qin Fu.

“Young Master Qin, I hope you won’t get involved in the Bai family’s matters. This is something an outsider like you can’t solve.” Madam Bai went straight to the point. She knew that Qin Fu would get involved because of Wan Xiaosu.

Her chances of winning would suffer if Qin Fu got involved.

Madam Bai knew she had to act quickly and nip this in the bud.

Qin Fu smiled coldly. “This is your business. Why would I get involved? I’m not interested in messy things.”

“Because of Wan Xiaosu. Don’t you like her? She’s just like her mother. She’s not easy to deal with. You’d better be careful.” Madam Bai had never liked Wan Xiaosu.

She shouldn’t have gotten to live happily ever after with him. She was a girl from the countryside who did not deserve such good treatment.

Just thinking about it made her feel disgusted.

“Do you dislike Wan Xiaosu’s mother that much?” Qin Fu was interested in her answer.

Madam Bai sneered. “She’s a mistress, a homewrecker. Should I admire her?”

“That’s true. It’s just that I heard you used to be close friends with her mother.” Qin Fu rubbed his chin, seeming more interested.

Madam Bai’s expression instantly darkened. She stared at Qin Fu. Some things were better left unsaid.

However, Qin Fu liked to get to the bottom of things.

Madam Bai realized that with his influence, Qin Fu must have already found something. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have said that.

“She was a good friend. That made it easier for her to destroy my family. People don’t become like this in a day. I’ve been living in her shadow for a long time. It was always there.”

Madam Bai also came from an educated family. Her family background was not bad. She had helped the Bai family many times over the years.

She thought that Bai Xiong would develop true feelings for her someday.

However, things did not go as she planned. Bai Xiong loved someone else.

He didn’t want to sleep with her.

This was why Madam Bai only had one child.

“You’re right. I can understand how you feel. I won’t help Wan Xiaosu. She’s not worthy of my help.” Qin Fu’s words surprised Madam Bai, but this was good for her. She had one less opponent to contend with.

Madam Bai raised her cup of coffee. “Then I hope you’ll keep your word, Young Master Qin.”

“I always keep my word,” Qin Fu said, taking a sip of his coffee.
