She put both hands on the floor and started kowtowing.

Fresh blood instantly stuck to the ground.

Yu Sangwan watched, shocked to the core, feeling it in her own flesh and blood. As a mother herself, this was something only she could truly understand.

Yu Sangwan walked over to Lu Jinxuan’s side. "Save Susu."

"Mm." Lu Jinxuan nodded slightly. "Don’t worry, I will."

"Hmph!" Those people let out a cold snort. "We’re done playing with you!"

They suddenly loosened their hands, and Susu, together with the bed, rolled down from above!

"Ah..." Gong Xueyan cried out in horror, covering her face, not daring to look. Too cruel, far too cruel!

Lu Jinxuan suddenly leapt up and ran toward the ramp... As the bed rolled down, he spread his arms wide and blocked it firmly.

But the pressure was too great and the speed too fast.

Lu Jinxuan was forced back again and again, his body grinding harshly against the ground.

"Ugh!" Ou Guanshen roared, "What the hell are you all standing there for? You move slower than the President! Every last one of you can go to hell! Damn it, me too! Useless trash!"

The entourage immediately rushed forward, forming a wall of flesh, blocking the bed together with Lu Jinxuan.

The people up there suddenly stepped forward. They kicked straight at Susu on the bed!

"Ugh!"

Lu Jinxuan frowned and let out a muffled grunt.

Susu had already been kicked off the bed and sent sprawling to the floor!

Lu Jinxuan couldn’t help cursing. These people were worse than beasts!

He sprang forward in one bound and barely managed to catch Susu in his arms... In that arc through the air, Lu Jinxuan had no hand free, so he could only hit the ground with his back, shielding Susu tightly.

Fortunately, Susu wasn’t struck at all and was lying safely on top of him.

Lu Jinxuan turned his head toward Yu Sangwan, as if to say, See... I didn’t let you down.

Yu Sangwan pressed her lips together and quietly gave him a thumbs-up. Saving a life... immeasurable merit.

"Susu!" Gong Xueyan immediately rushed over, scooping her daughter up. "Susu! Susu!"

She called her daughter’s name over and over, tears streaming down her face.

Lu Jinxuan sat up and gently patted her shoulder. "It’s over now..."

"Mr. President!" Gong Xueyan lost control and threw herself into his arms. "Thank you! Thank you so much!"

Lu Jinxuan froze, his body stiff.

He lifted his head and saw Yu Sangwan. Helplessly, he spread his arms... This had nothing to do with him!

Yu Sangwan shook her head. It was fine; she didn’t mind. Susu was pushed back to the ward and settled in.

Gong Xueyan was still in a daze, shaken to the core.

She looked up at Lu Jinxuan. "Mr. President, this was Qin Shaoju’s doing! He failed this time, he will definitely try again!"

Lu Jinxuan frowned. "Slow down and tell me exactly what happened."

"Mr. President." Gong Xueyan’s eyes were red. "Before the trial, Qin Shaoju came to me. He said I had to drop the charges, otherwise... he would definitely take Susu’s life! The verdict was just announced today, and he showed up right away!"

Lu Jinxuan didn’t understand. "He threatened you, and you didn’t agree?"

He glanced at Yu Sangwan. Both of them were a bit surprised.

They knew what kind of person Gong Xueyan was.

The pampered daughter of the Gong Family, always arrogant, who would stop at nothing to get what she wanted.

For someone like Gong Xueyan to ignore Qin Shaoju’s threats? Why?

Gong Xueyan sniffed. "I know I’m not a good person... but, Mr. President, I’ve already lost everything. It was you who helped me, and Wanwan took me in. I may not be a good person, but I can’t bite the hand that feeds me!"

Lu Jinxuan paused slightly, his gaze unfathomably deep.

"You don’t believe me?" Gong Xueyan grew anxious. "I’m not lying!"

Yu Sangwan stepped forward and put an arm around her. "Don’t worry, I do... I believe you."

Because in this world, no mother would gamble with her own child’s life.

Gong Xueyan choked up. "Thank you, Wanwan... In this life, the person I’ve wronged most is you! If it weren’t for me, you and Mr. President would have..."

"Don’t say it." Yu Sangwan patted her shoulder. "I know, I know it all."

As she spoke, she looked toward Lu Jinxuan.

"Since Qin Shaoju has said it, he likely won’t stop. Because of Qin Mengshu, the Qin Family’s image has taken a huge hit. Qin Shaoju’s full of hatred, and who knows what else he’ll do. Why don’t we... move Susu to the Fu Family?"

Lu Jinxuan furrowed his brows, clearly hesitant.

Gong Xueyan was also stunned. "Wanwan?"

"Hear me out." Yu Sangwan said slowly, "Susu’s current situation is basically a recovery process. Everything the hospital can provide, Mr. President, can’t you arrange the same?"

Lu Jinxuan neither agreed nor disagreed. "But if we do that, it’ll be too tiring for you."

With Fu Xianlin not at home, the Fu Family wasn’t like Guan Chao... Taotao alone already had a lot to handle.

Yu Sangwan pressed her lips together. "No, it won’t. What’s tiring for me? There are servants for everything! The hospital is too complicated. Even with your people there, Qin Shaoju’s men will still find gaps to exploit. The Fu Family is different—simpler and easier to control."

It did make sense, and Gong Xueyan was moved.

"Mr. President." Gong Xueyan pleaded, "Please agree! I won’t let Wanwan tire herself out. I’ll do everything myself... Wanwan doesn’t have to take care of me. I can do everything, and I’ll take good care of Wanwan too! I know Wanwan is your treasure, and you feel distressed for her. I promise, while we’re at the Fu Family, I won’t let her lift even a finger!"

Lu Jinxuan raised his hand to his lips and lightly cleared his throat. "Ahem."

How he felt about Taotao was one thing; having someone spell it out so bluntly was another.

Yu Sangwan smiled. "Mr. President?"

"Mm." Lu Jinxuan couldn’t resist his wife’s pleading and finally relented. "Then... all right."

Yu Sangwan shaped the words silently with her lips: "You are so good."

Lu Jinxuan’s Adam’s apple bobbed. Honestly... she was acting spoiled again!

But this was exactly what he fell for; what could he do?

Lu Jinxuan instructed Ou Guanshen to handle it immediately.

The efficiency, naturally, was astonishing.

The Fu Family cleared out a room specifically as Susu’s ward. All the equipment was installed, and they also hired dedicated caretakers and guards.

The place was indeed much quieter. And there weren’t any complicated neighbors around, making it relatively safer.

Once everything was taken care of, Yu Sangwan saw Lu Jinxuan out through the back door.

"Hug." Lu Jinxuan bent down and wrapped his arms around her.

"Tired?" Yu Sangwan grinned. "You were great today; you deserve praise."

"Mm." Lu Jinxuan closed his eyes and sighed. "Doesn’t praise come with a kiss? Mmm..."

Yu Sangwan hooked her arms around his neck and took the initiative to kiss him. "Do you like it?"

Lu Jinxuan, having taken advantage, still played coy. "So-so. When are you going to let me meet our daughter?"

Yu Sangwan blushed. "You’re awful! Again with that."

Lu Jinxuan took her hand and looked into her eyes. "Taotao, I’m saying if—just if... if one day I’m seriously ill, hmm... maybe lying there like Susu, what would you do?" "Mm."

Yu Sangwan tilted her head, thinking for a long time.

"Mm?" Lu Jinxuan frowned. "You actually have to think that long?"

Yu Sangwan held back a smile. "Of course I do! Just look at you—lying in bed like that, not knowing anything, with everything needing my care... That’s exhausting!"

"Then you’re still not allowed to abandon me!"

Lu Jinxuan tightened his grip on her hand and pulled her into his arms.
