“I’m just… really grateful… Second Master…”
Before Su Qingdai could finish speaking, Fu Jingmo had already turned around and left. Su Qingdai’s eyes were red as she turned around and looked at Li Beibei. She looked very pitiful and like she was about to cry. “Beibei, I’m sorry. Did I say something wrong?”
This was Su Qingdai’s old trick. She was the epitome of a fragile flower to begin with; when streams of tears coursed down her face, she looked especially delicate and fragile—evoking one’s protective attitude towards her.
In her previous life, Li Beibei had been deceived by this expression countless times. Only now did she know what malevolence belied that innocent and harmless-looking face.
Many onlookers around her were deceived by her. There were even a few rich scions who comforted her. “You didn’t say anything wrong. Who doesn’t know that Second Master is notorious for being unreasonable?”
That’s right. Everyone in the city knew that the Second Master of the Fu family was not someone who was just labeled as “unreasonable”. What was more appropriate was that he was ruthless and merciless! At the age of 26, he had already taken over the centennial enterprise of the Fu family. It was rumored that even the eldest son of the Fu family—his biological brother, Fu Huaiju who was in his fifties—was subordinated to him now. In the corporate world, he was even more decisive and did not leave any room for negotiation. In recent years, the acquisition battles he had presided over had been scenes of carnage and complete annihilation, taking no prisoners. There were even people who were forced to jump off a building in desperation after being driven to a corner. From then on, he was dubbed “Handsome Asura”.
Li Beibei could not be bothered to comfort Su Qingdai. Just then, two familiar figures appeared in front of her.
“Beibei, are you alright? I heard that you fell into the water. You scared me to death. How are you now? Let me take a look…”
Li Beibei looked at the two people in front of her and tears instantly poured out of her eyes.
It’s Dad and Mom!
Unable to control her emotions any longer, Li Beibei fell into Lin Jinghe and Li Yanliang’s embrace. “Dad, Mom, this is wonderful. I thought that I would never see you guys again. I miss you guys so much, I really miss you guys…”
This is wonderful. You’re all still alive. None of the tragedies have happened yet.
Li Beibei could not help but burst into tears. Tears spilled over and flowed down her face like a river escaping a dam.
Li Yanliang and Lin Jinghe could also sense Li Beibei’s paroxysm of emotions, but they only thought that she was scared out of her wits because she had almost drowned.
Li Beibei changed into a clean set of clothes in the Fu family’s guest room.
When she came out of the cloakroom, she saw Lin Jinghe quietly waiting for her on the couch. She could not help but run over and snuggle into Lin Jinghe’s arms like a kitten. “Mom, I love you. I’ve let you guys down in the past. From now on, I will protect you well and not let anyone hurt you.”
Lin Jinghe placed a hand on Li Beibei’s forehead with a worried expression. “Did you catch a fever from falling into the water? Beibei, be honest—are you feeling unwell?”
Li Beibei grabbed Lin Jinghe’s hand and held it tightly. “No, I’m fine. I’m just especially grateful.”
She was grateful to God for giving her a chance to atone for her sins!
Lin Jinghe gently patted Li Beibei’s forehead. “You should be grateful to him. Let’s go. The banquet should be starting soon. Let’s go thank him properly.”
Li Beibei was taken aback. “Thank who?”
“Fu Jingmo, of course. You little ingrate, he just saved you. Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten so quickly?!”
Only then did Li Beibei catch on. She pursed her lips and felt a little annoyed. If it weren’t for him, she would have been able to torture Chu Xiubai for a while longer.
