Mr. Fu, please stop being abusive. Madam has already signed the divorce papers.

Ilia rearranged her hair as if unintentionally, her brows and eyes showing excitement.

It seems that she really chose the right method.

She had only been close to Fu Shifan for a long time before Fu Zheng's attitude softened.

Twenty minutes later, Fu Zheng appeared in the box.

This was the first time the two met after that day.

He sat down on the other side of Fu Shifan and nodded lightly to Ilia, "Excuse me, do you mind if I join you for dinner?"

"You don't mind, sit down."

Ilia's expression was cold, as if she was still angry about the last time Fu Zheng rejected him mercilessly in front of the old lady and Fu Qingyue.

"I'm busy with work, so it's hard for you to care so much about Fanfan."

"Fanfan is my child, this is what it should be. I didn't know you were coming, so I just ordered whatever I wanted. You can decide if you want to add more when the food is served."

"I'm not picky about food." Fu Zheng said.

Then the waiter started serving the food.

Fu Zheng looked at a table of mutton, was silent for a moment, and then looked down at Fu Shifan.

Fu Shifan lowered his head guiltily.

Ilia picked up the chopsticks and said, "You're welcome, use the chopsticks."

Fu Zheng hesitated for a moment, "Okay."

Ilia took the initiative to speak, "Last time I didn't expect Aunt Fu to directly propose that we be together, but I didn't expect you to directly reject it without even thinking about it. Have you not considered the feasibility at all?"

The implication was that Fu Qingyue made his own decision and had nothing to do with her.

"No, marrying for the sake of the child is just a shackles for the child."

"Although I don't agree with it after thinking about it, I understand that Aunt Fu hopes that Fanfan can grow up with his father and mother. I have been absent from Fanfan's life for so many years, and I will definitely put her first in the future. If Fanfan wants Are we together?"

Ilia felt a little unwilling, but she was also afraid of being too obvious and being laughed at by Fu Zheng, so she could only ask Fu Shifan's banner.

She thought she was covering up perfectly, but in Fu Zheng's eyes, her little thoughts were all written on her face, just like a child playing house.

Fu Zheng glanced at Fu Shifan, "My life will not be controlled by my children."

Ilia's expression froze and she wanted to throw her chopsticks and leave.

Being humiliated over and over again by Fu Zheng, she really wanted to give up and go back to Philadelphia.

Isn't he just a man?

Couldn't she find someone better?

But she is unwilling to give in. How can she be inferior to Fei? Why did he treat her like this?

Ilia just thought about returning to Philadelphia.

After Fu Shifan's life experience was revealed, she was not allowed to back down.

"I heard that you took Fanfan back, what are your next thoughts?"

"Raise Fanfan."

"Other than that?"

"What do you want to ask?"

"Aren't you going to remarry Fei?"

"Not yet."

It's exactly what Fu Shifan said.

Ilia's eyebrows widened, "Why?"

Fu Zheng asked instead, "What? Do you want me to remarry her?"

"Of course not. It doesn't matter if you don't remarry. Such a money-worshiping girl who is so scheming to steal money will only lead Fanfan into trouble."

There was a flash of sarcasm in Fu Zheng's eyes and he changed the subject, "Are you going to stay in Jiangcheng from now on?"

"Maybe so. I want to compensate Fanfan as much as possible."

This time she spoke ill of Wen Liang in front of Fu Zheng, but Fu Zheng didn't even refute.

Ilia felt a little secretly happy in her heart.

On the day the paternity test came out, Wen Liang moved out of the Xinghe Bay villa. Obviously, she couldn't accept Fu Shifan. Fu Zheng must have also felt that she was narrow-minded and his impression of her plummeted.

But when it comes to her own affairs, Ilia is a little worried.

She admitted that she agreed to Fu Qingyue too hastily, and at that time she only wanted to get close to Fu Zheng through Fu Shifan.

But after doing it, I realized that this was no small matter.

If her parents, uncles and aunts knew that she had a daughter outside, they would definitely get involved, and maybe even ask her to take the child back.

"Ilia, I understand that as a biological mother, you want to get closer to Fanfan urgently, but don't be too hasty, especially if you often visit Fanfan in the kindergarten, this will have an impact on her life."

"I already know, and I will never go to the kindergarten to find her again. I see that you eat very little. Is the rest of the food not to your liking?"

Fu Zheng: "...I have used some before I came here."

After lunch, Fu Shifan left with Fu Zheng making a fuss.

She made profound use of the five-year-old's habit of crying and rolling around. There was no reason, but Ilia couldn't force her.

Ilia had no choice but to return to Xie Zhen's home.

"Ilia, are you back?"

Seeing Alice sitting on the sofa in the living room, Ilia walked over and sat down, "How about it? This time you went to City C with Caesar, did you pretend to meet him by chance and have a meal with him or something?"

Alice twitched her lips and said, "No."

"Why? Why didn't you seize such a good opportunity?"

"He is very busy at work. I am afraid of disturbing him and making him dislike it."

"You! Why don't you be thick-skinned? If you had half as much scheming as Fei, you wouldn't be like this."

Alice forced a smile, "Don't talk about me first, how are you doing here?"

Ilia laughed, "I had dinner with Fu Zheng and Fu Shifan today at noon. Fu Zheng said that he would not remarry Fei for the time being, and I said Fei was not good in front of him, but he did not refute."

Although it was a bit unpleasant when Fu Shifan made a fuss and left with Fu Zheng at the end, overall, Ilia was generally satisfied with the meal.

"It looks like things are going well, so I'd like to congratulate you in advance on capturing Fu Zheng as soon as possible."

"Lend your auspicious words."

Just as he was talking, the door to the living room opened, and Yan Huai came in carrying his suitcase.

"Brother, you're back. Have you been busy these days?"

Yan Huai raised his eyes and looked at Ilia after hearing the sound.

"...Brother, why are you looking at me like that?"

Ilia felt that something was wrong with Yan Huai's eyes, as if he was looking at a prisoner.

Yan Huai looked away and said, "Alice, please stay away for a moment. I have something to say with Ilia."

Ilia's heart skipped a beat.

Shouldn't he know?

Although this day will come sooner or later, she hasn't figured out how to explain it yet.

Alice glanced at Ilia reassuringly and went upstairs.

"Brother, what do you want to say to me?" Ilia swallowed.

"What's going on with Fu Shifan?"

Yan Huai pushed the suitcase to the wall, strode to the sofa, sat down with his trouser legs, his eyes were deep, and he asked sternly.

"You...don't you know everything? She is my daughter." Ilia whispered.

"What's going on? Tell me clearly!"

Ilia simply said what she wanted to say to Fu Qingyue.

Yan Huai's brows furrowed more and more as he listened. When Ilia finished speaking, he asked, "Are you done?"

"Ah."

"So the reason why you returned to China and decided to recognize Fu Shifan was because of Fu Zheng?"

Ilia's face turned red, "I like him."

If you say anything about maternal love in front of Caesar, he won't believe it at all.

Her brother should support her, right?

After all, if she was with Fu Zheng, he and Fei would have a chance.

Unexpectedly, Yan Huai said, "I have bought a ticket for you, you will go back to Philadelphia tomorrow!"

"elder brother????!!"
