"Someone help, someone please save my mommy. She is injured. Please help."
Zhou Liying looked at a little girl around the age of five or six, begging for someone to help her mother, laying on the roadside, covered with her blood.
She saw herself in the place of that little girl. She had begged everyone to help her mother as a kid, but no one came forward to help and in last, her mother could not be saved.
"Ah." She gasped loudly, feeling a tight squeeze on her heart. She felt memories from the past haunting her mind.
"Auntie, please help mommy." The little girl tugged on her dress and looked at her with hopeful eyes.
More tears flew out of the eyes of Zhou Liying. "Hanhan, take the lady to the car, we are taking her to the hospital. We can't wait for the ambulance." Her voice was hoarse and held finality.
Without wasting any second, Mu Yuehan held the lady in his arms and took her to the parked car.
Zhou Liying looked at the little girl and hugged her tight. "Nothing will happen to your mother. Nothing." Her voice was slightly shaky. She clutched tight on the little girl.
"Miss, we should go." Min Yue placed her hand on the shoulder of Zhou Liying, finding her lost in her thoughts.
Zhou Liying looked around. She noticed that Mu Yuehan had already driven the car in her direction. He was waiting for her to sit inside.
She walked toward the shotgun seat, with the girl in her arms and sit beside Mu Yuehan where Min Yue sat on the back, placing the head of the injured lady on her lap.

At the same time, the car of Fan Yifeng was crossing the same place where Zhou Liying was standing.
His eyes caught sight of her and he saw her holding a child in her arms. He then saw her entering inside a car.
He was not sure if she was Qin Tian or not. So, to confirm his doubts, he ordered, "follow after that car."
He pointed toward the car of Zhou Liying. He could not let this opportunity go waste. He wanted to confirm if she was back or not. And if she was back, what was her intention this time?
Was she back to have her share of the property of Qin Yanze?
Or was she back here to disrupt his wedding with Qin Yutong?
"But boss, what about the monthly meeting?"
"Postpone it by an hour. Follow after that car at all cost. It's urgent." Fan Yifeng ordered and clutched his hands tightly into a fist.

Instead of looking at the roads, Mu Yuehan was continuously stealing the gazes of Zhou Liying, sitting beside him. With so much tenderness and care, she was consoling the little girl in her arms.
Looking at her, many thoughts were crossing his mind and one being, 'our children will be very lucky to have her as their mother. She will become a great mother one day.'
There was another thought in his mind, especially after seeing her in this condition. She was crying as if her mother was injured, instead of some stranger. 'Was this the way her mother died? Was she in the place of this little girl many years back?'
His hand itched to be placed on the hand of Zhou Liying, to give her his moral support. He wanted to hug her, to tell her that everything will be alright. He wanted to take all her pain away.
"Will mommy be alright?" the little girl sobbed and looked at her mother in the back seat.
Zhou Liying looked at her and hugged her tight, close to her chest.
"She will be alright." Mu Yuehan spoke in a soft voice, trying to console the little girl as well as the owner of his heart. "I checked her. She does not have life-threatening injuries. She will be alright."
"Really?"
"Mm." Mu Yuehan patted her head, imagining himself doing the same with Zhou Liying.
They arrived at the hospital and the mother was immediately taken inside. Mu Yuehan and Zhou Liying walked after her while Min Yue stayed behind to do all the formalities.
At the same time, Fan Yifeng also arrived. He sneakily followed after Zhou Liying, keeping his presence hidden.
Zhou Liying stopped in front of the emergency ward and that was when he saw her face with clarity, her lips, her sharp nose and her eyes. He failed to see Mu Yuehan but he saw her and a girl in her arms.
"She is Qin Tian and that girl must be her daughter.' He thought foolishly. 'God knows whose daughter she is.'
He turned and left the hospital. He entered inside the car and made a call to someone, "Qin Tian is back in the city."
**
Zhou Liying may not have noticed the presence of Fan Yifeng because she was focused on consoling the little girl in her arms but Mu Yuehan saw him. His eyes shined when he saw that fool.
Fan Yifeng was always a fool in his eyes. A fool to let go of a precious gem like Zhou Liying when she fell in his arms. He took her for delight, failed to notice her real potency. He failed to see her big heart.
'What's in that model that Fan Yifeng is so after her?'
When he had first seen the photo of Qin Yutong, he was unable to believe that Fan Yifeng left beauty like Zhou Liying for her. Not only that, but Qin Yutong had no qualities, not at all except for having a scheming mind.
Whereas Zhou Liying was filled with surprises and Mu Yuehan himself was a witness to that.
He had seen her different persona on Juju island and now a completely different aura here in Shanghai. He had seen her getting cruel with her clients, also soft hearten toward some. He had seen her genuine love toward her family and now, he was seeing the motherly side of her.
And not to forget her business skills, they were tremendous.
Mu Yuehan had heard that Fan corporations were not stable for the last two years. No progress was seen and he called Fan Yifeng the reason.
If that fool didn't let go of Zhou Liying, if he had loved her and had used her skills properly, he was probably going to be the best businessman in Shanghai.
It was his wrong decision and the luck of Mu Yuehan. If only Fan Yifeng did not leave Zhou Liying, how was Mu Yuehan supposed to find her and made her fall for himself?
Mu Yuehan smirked with delight, he turned and again looked at Zhou Liying and the girl in her arms, imagining his future in them!
