Fu Si wore a half-smile, "You just used me as a shield, didn't you? You clearly saw what they were thinking, allowing them to chirp and babble. Is your boyfriend really not someone you can bring out?"
"I'm afraid it would cause too much harm if I did; more blood on my hands."
"..." Fu Si.
"Just don't forget about tutoring me."
Fu Si reminded her repeatedly before he left.
When Tang Li returned to the villa, she found Lai Wenyan sitting in the living room.
She was called out to as soon as she entered.
Lai Wenyan stared at her with heavy eyes, "Are you dating that Fu Family boy?"
Tang Li didn't deny: "Dad doesn't want me to associate with him?"
"You two are not suitable." Lai Wenyan cut to the chase: "The Fu Family are not easy people to get along with, I'm afraid you'd suffer if you married into their family. Besides, he has a history with your sister."
That one statement established a prior connection between Fu Si and Lai Yuaner.
