Xia Chuwei knew clearly that Liu Shuyun's apology was not sincere, but just to cope with the situation.

However, what did Huo Linyuan use in exchange to not only persuade Liu Shuyun, but even make Liu Shuyun apologize to her?

Thinking of this, Xia Chuwei asked bluntly: "Can I ask what Huo Linyuan said to you that actually made you take the initiative to apologize to me."

Liu Shuyun glanced at her and said quietly: "Miss Xia is quite smart, knowing that Linyuan interceded for you."

"It should be more than just intercession, there should be some exchange, right?"

Liu Shuyun looked at Xia Chuwei for a while and suddenly smiled.

"That's right, Linyuan even disobeyed his mother, whom he has always respected, for you... This is the first time I've seen him do this for a woman."

Although Liu Shuyun raised the corners of his lips, his eyes were cold.

"Linyuan was afraid that I would cause trouble for you again, so he insisted on moving to the old man's place to protect you. Linyuan said that he will bear your responsibility, and if you want to be punished, punish him."

"The gunshot wound on his body has not healed yet, and the rash on his face has not subsided for a long time. He can no longer withstand such torture..."

The more Liu Shuyun spoke, the colder his expression became.

"He risked his own life to protect you, what else can I do to him?"

Huo Linyuan was her son who had been raised since childhood, and his emotional involvement was different from Huo Yunting's.

No mother in the world would ruthlessly gamble with her son's life.

Liu Shuyun continued: "I have no choice but to agree, but I also made a request to him. His engagement with Yin Xiuxiu cannot be terminated for the time being. During this period, Yin Xiuxiu will be left in the Huo family to take care of him and cultivate their relationship.

"

Liu Shuyun did not hide it, but told Xia Chuwei all the truth.

"However, please ask Miss Xia to stay away from Linyuan in the future. I still say the same thing, you should never marry into the Huo family!"

Xia Chuwei was silent for a while and said coldly: "I have received Mrs. Huo's apology. If nothing happens, Mrs. Huo can go back."

Liu Shuyun took out a bottle of medicine from his bag and said in a tone that could not hide his jealousy: "This is the medicine Linyuan had someone prepare for you overnight after he knew your face was injured... He asked me to give it to you.

.”

Xia Chuwei looked at the medicine bottle in Liu Shuyun's hand and silently took it.

"Say thank you to the second young master for me."

Liu Shuyun snorted coldly, "No need to thank you. Take good care of your face as soon as possible, so that Linyuan won't miss you all day long."

...

In the evening, after Xia Chuwei took a bath, she applied the ointment sent by Huo Linyuan on her face.

The cooling feeling relieves the burning pain on the face.

Xia Chuwei's skin was delicate, and Liu Shuyun was very heavy-handed, causing her face to still be red and swollen, and the fingerprints on her face were clearly visible.

After applying the ointment, the pain and redness subsided a lot.

Xia Chuwei looked at herself in the mirror, hesitated for a moment, then took out her phone and sent a thank you message to Huo Linyuan.

"The ointment is very useful, thank you."

Perhaps he was waiting for her message, but Huo Linyuan replied almost instantly.

"As long as you like it."

A polite thank you is a given, but then... you should keep your distance.

Xia Chuwei looked at the message and did not reply.

However, a few minutes later, the phone vibrated again.

Huo Linyuan sent another message, "Chu Wei, I've almost contacted you about going abroad. Just be patient for a while, and when Huo Yunting relaxes his vigilance, I will send you away from the Huo family."

Seeing this news, Xia Chuwei was shocked.

Just as she was about to edit a text message to reply, a slender white hand suddenly snatched her phone away.

Xia Chuwei was stunned and subconsciously raised her head.
