After a pause, Zhu Min persuaded him again, “Qi, Mommy knows that I shouldn’t be forcing you like that, but you have to understand Mommy. Everything Mommy does is for you. What does Mommy have to strive for at my age? You’re still young. If you don’t strive now, you’ll have nothing in the future and other people will look down on you. Your daddy told me today that if you still can’t find a company to inject capital into our Xiao family company within a month, he’ll ask that illegitimate child to come back to preside over the company. By that time, it’ll be too late for you to regret it.”

Hearing what she said, Xiao Qi became silent. Staring at his shadow on the ground, his gaze was extremely complicated. After a while, he said, “I understand, I’ll definitely handle this matter well.”

“That’s good.” Zhu Min heaved a small sigh of relief. “Oh right, Lu Lu and I are drinking coffee at Caprice, and are talking about capital injection. She has some good suggestions. You should come and listen too.”

“Mommy, Qianyu is still lying in the hospital. How will I have the mood to drink coffee?”

“Qi, Lu Lu is helping us. Are you going to give up such a good opportunity? Do you really want to let the Xiao family go bankrupt?”

Xiao Qi’s brows furrowed. Turning his head back to look at Lan Qianyu, who was in the ward, he hesitated for a moment, but eventually gave in, “Okay, I’ll go over immediately.”



When Lan Qianyu woke up and didn’t see Xiao Qi, she was very disappointed.

“Qianyu, you’re awake? Do you want to drink some water?”

Qiao Qing quickly carried half a glass of water over to feed Lan Qianyu. As her actions were too hurried, Lan Qianyu kept coughing.

Just then, the sound of rapid footsteps was coming from outside. Before Qiao Qing had a chance to look back, a large hand pulled her away, and then a slender figure came into sight. A familiar low, chiding voice resounded throughout the ward, “Lan Qianyu, why do you make me so worried?”

Lan Qianyu’s brows furrowed. Closing her eyes, she turned her head away and wanted to ignore this person. She was annoyed. This guy was involved in everything.

Lei Lie was a twenty-four-year-old boy that was about 1.87metres in height, with strong, long legs, an extremely handsome face, and to add on, Korean-style oblique bangs. Wherever he went, it would always make the hearts of a group of boy-crazy girls pound.

They were neighbors. The house that Lan Qianyu, Qiao Qing and Shen Xin rented together, was next to Lei Lie’s house. Lei Lie always followed Lan Qianyu around like a shadow, always doing his utmost to please her. From time to time, he liked to make small ambiguous jokes, asking her to dump Xiao Qi and get together with him. However, in her eyes, this kid, who was one and a half years older than her, was just a little brat whose hair had not even fully grown out yet. She never once thought of him in that way.

“Do you realise that you almost died?” Lei Lie reprimanded in a low voice while gnashing his teeth, but his eyes were full of tenderness and he desperately wished that he could have taken the bullet for Lan Qianyu.

“You’re so noisy.” Lan Qianyu really wanted some peace and quiet.

“Lei Lie, drink some water.” Qiao Qing eagerly handed a bottle of mineral water to Lei Lie. Her beautiful eyes were flashed with amorous glances. She had already been sexually attracted to him since very early on. Had it not been for Lan Qianyu’s warnings, she would have pushed him down onto a bed a long time ago.

“I won’t be drinking, there’s a big case waiting for me to settle. After I wrap it up, I’ll come over and take care of you.” Lei Lie reluctantly looked away and threw a roll of something on the bedside table. He grunted unhappily, “This was awarded to you by the police. It was sent over by the big President Ye whose life you saved. You can find someone to frame in a frame inlaid with gold and hang it on the wall. You’re really a selfless model citizen, just like Lei Feng. No, that’s not right. Even Lei Feng did not help people to this extent. You are a living Dong Cunrui, taking the bullet for someone else and sacrificing your chastity for the sake of your country.”
