“I’m not even aware of Xiao Li’er’s injury if the maid had not informed me. What did you promise me before? You promised that you would not let anything happen to Li’er. You promised that you will appoint Li’er the head of the Luo family when I’m dead! Now… how could you defend the woman who has hurt Li’er?”

“Mother!” Luo Fei did not dodge Old Lady Luo’s attack. He simply endured it. “What I have done is for your sake…”

Old Lady Luo sneered and moved forward to grab Luo Li’s hand.

“Xiao Li’er, let’s go!”

“Yes!” Luo Li forced a smile. “I’ll bring you along to meet Xiao Qing. She’s beautiful and gentle. She’s nice too!”

Old Lady Luo did not say anything more. She walked out of the manor with Luo Li by her side.

“Mother, where are you going?” Luo Fei wanted to stop them. He became quite nervous.

Old Lady Luo hit the ground with her crutch. “I’ll run into the wall and kill myself if anybody dares to stop me from leaving today!”

Luo Fei wanted to stop Old Lady Luo but he became frightened when he heard what she had said. He stopped walking and dared not move anymore. He had no choice but to let them leave.

He seemed helpless and could not recover his senses for a long time.

Was he… really the one wrong this time?

Qin Xiaoyue smiled coldly when she realized that both Old Lady Luo and Luo Li had left them alone at last. But, she soon composed herself and approached Luo Fei slowly.

“Luo Fei, Old Lady Luo will know your good intentions one day. But, Li’er is just insensible. I’ll teach her to respect the elderly in the future…”

“Xiao Yue!” Luo Fei appeared rather angry. He sounded serious. “Li’er is my daughter. I’ll teach her myself if she’s still insensible. You don’t have to worry about that.”

No matter what, Li’er was his daughter.

He would feel unsettled if anyone criticized her.

If… Xiao Yue had not sacrificed so much for his mother, he would have left her by now.

“Luo Fei, I’m just being nice…” Qin Xiaoyue was dissatisfied with Luo Fei’s response. She pursed her lips tightly.

Qin Xiaoyue had been with Luo Fei for a few years now.

That was the first time he had scolded her, for an ignorant brat!

“Let’s forget about it. I’m tired. Xiaoyue, you can go home and rest now.”

Luo Fei neither say anything more nor take a look at Qin Xiaoyue. He turned and walked into the Luo family.

He seemed to be without spirit. It seemed that he had aged much at that moment.

***

The young girl appeared quiet and calm in the manor. She was holding a book in her hands.

She was captivating and was the most beautiful girl in the world.

She moved and soon heard footsteps approaching her from outside of the manor. She turned her head slowly and a cute face appeared in front of her.

Luo Li smiled brightly. She was delighted and it might be because of the fact that she had left the Luo family. She was overjoyed.

She was escorting an old lady and they were walking toward Feng Ruqing.

“Grandma, we’ll stay here from now on. I don’t want to go back to the Luo family anymore.”

Old Lady Luo held onto Luo Li’s hand softly. She appeared gentle and kind. “Fine. You can go wherever you want. Your dad will surely be left all alone in this world! That bastard!1

Feng Ruqing made no reply and witnessed the whole scene quietly.

‘When did I promise to let them stay here?’

“Xiao Qing.”

Luo Li spotted Feng Ruqing when she turned her eyes. She let go of Old Lady Luo’s hands and rushed toward Feng Ruqing like a butterfly.
