As he said the last part, Fu Yushen’s tone carried a hint of unease.

After all, Yuan Xi had originally been brought to the Fu family because of Fu Yunzhou. Now, Fu Yushen felt a bit uncomfortable discussing Yuan Xi’s attempts to win his favor.

Fu Yunzhou’s lips curled into a knowing smile, his gaze sharpening like a predator eyeing its prey.

“Interesting,” he said with a hint of amusement.

After hearing Fu Yushen’s response, Fu Yunzhou was certain that the Yuan Xi currently in the Fu family was not the same person who had first arrived. The specifics of how Yuan Xi had changed were still unknown.

However, Fu Yunzhou had a feeling that this change might be beneficial for him, and perhaps even advantageous for the Fu family as a whole.

It dawned on Fu Yushen, after giving his answer, that his older brother seemed unusually interested in Yuan Xi. Could it be… could his brother be interested in Yuan Xi?

The thought sent a shiver down Fu Yushen’s spine as it flashed through his mind.

Thinking about Qi Yunrou’s comments and Yuan Xi’s behavior, Fu Yushen had only one thought: he must prevent his brother from developing any interest in that person!

“Big Brother, let me tell you, Yuan Xi is not a good person. You need to be cautious and not be deceived by him.” Fu Yushen looked at Fu Yunzhou seriously, his expression earnest.

“You don’t know, but when Yuan Xi first came here, he seemed very well-behaved. However, over time, his true nature showed. He’s greedy, materialistic, lazy, and lacks any ambition. He’s also envious! Even though my relationship with Yunrou has been temporarily stable, Yuan Xi constantly interferes and causes trouble. You mustn’t be fooled by him, Big Brother.”

Fu Yunzhou glanced at his clueless younger brother with a hint of disdain.

Fu Yunzhou had observed everything and noted Yuan Xi’s transformation, even though he didn’t fully understand the previous version of Yuan Xi. He could discern that the issue didn’t lie with Yuan Xi himself. However, being too close to the situation, especially with Qi Yunrou’s influence clouding his judgment, made it difficult for Fu Yushen to see clearly.

From the beginning, Fu Yunzhou had suspected that Qi Yunrou’s intentions were not entirely innocent. However, since there was no concrete evidence of any malicious intent, Fu Yunzhou had chosen to ignore it and had not warned his naive younger brother.

Sometimes, advice from others was ineffective and only personal experience of failure can truly convey the pain.

Not wishing to further engage with his naive brother, Fu Yunzhou picked up the newspaper and issued a directive. “You don’t need to worry about this matter. You’ll handle the cleanup, and tomorrow I’ll take over your position. I’ve already informed Mom and Dad, and this will also give you a chance to refocus.”

As soon as Fu Yunzhou finished speaking, Fu Yushen’s expression turned into a look of utter despair.

He realized that this time, his brother was definitely determined to make him face the consequences.

Author has something to say： Fu Yushen: “Big Brother, please be a little less ruthless!”

Fu Yunzhou: “I’m doing this for your own good. How is it being cruel?”

Yuan Xi: “Male god, I’d rather not see the male lead…”

Fu Yunzhou: “Alright, I’ll have him removed. How about mining in Africa?”
