Chapter 25 - Kneel and Apologize (1/2)

Translator: Atlas StudiosEditor: Atlas Studios

Jiang Yu’s face was bloodless, and her eyes were bloodshot. The truth had been exposed.

With a thud, she knelt in front of me. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she sobbed. “I fell by myself. Jiang Ran really didn’t push me!”

“Little Yu, why are you kneeling for her!”

Grandma immediately hugged Jiang Yu’s shoulder. She was terribly distressed.

I took a few deep breaths, yet I didn’t feel happy even though my grievance got avenged. It seemed like my fault that Jiang Yu was kneeling.

“Ran Ran.”

My mother murmured something to me. I shook my head at her. “It’s okay.”

Jiang Yu’s kneeling made Fu Hansheng purse his thin lips together even more tightly. Jiang Yu looked at him woefully, as if she was begging for his mercy.

Fu Hansheng could not bear to make things difficult for her in front of so many guests.

He pinched my shoulder as we walked out. I had to thank him regardless of what he had done that night. If he hadn’t shown up in time, I wouldn’t have gotten away so easily.

The moment we exited the hotel, I felt utterly defeated.

The incident involving Jiang Yu and He Zhizhou, as well as the things she said, had torn apart the things that I had carefully treasured. One could not find an excuse to conceal the bloody truth.

My feet hurt with every step.

Fu Hansheng’s dark eyes fixed on me. He didn’t make a sound. I turned my face to the side awkwardly. Out of the blue, he carried me bridal style.

We drove to the bridge over the moat. Then, he scooped me up and placed me on the guardrail. Behind me was an abyss dozens of meters deep.

Under the night sky, the sparkling water reflected the neon lights of the city, painting a dreamy scene.

The chilly wind fogged me.

Perhaps he saw I was still in a daze, so he reached out and pushed me. I screamed and instinctively grabbed his arm!

I didn’t want to die!

Only at that moment did I realize how fortunate I was to be alive. All my woes were as light as a feather when compared to the fear of death.

“Have you calmed down?”

Damn it, this was the first time I had seen someone comforting others by threatening their lives!

I promptly looked up and saw Fu Hansheng’s handsome face. He frowned and said thoughtfully, “Jiang Ran, I realized that you’ve changed.”

I licked my lips and swallowed. “Oh, what changed?”

“You’re more fragile than I thought.”

“Women naturally need protection. It’s a pity that’s not my fate. President Fu could see the essence of things through the phenomena. You’re truly one of the smartest people I’ve met.”

I pushed him away to avoid physical contact.
