Watching Xu Hehe approach, Fu Junxing's eyes revealed a hint of viciousness. The bone-eating hatred made his chest throb with pain. The heart attack of many years ago could easily be recalled by a similar face.
Leng Qingge's face had been deeply etched into his bones and blood. He couldn’t even restrain himself from seeing her daughter.
Xu Hehe's existence was the ironclad proof that Leng Qingge had betrayed him, reminding him every moment. If it weren’t for Leng Qingge's life, Xu Hehe would have died many times.
“Chairman, are you alright?” The old butler seemed worried, looking at Xu Hehe unkindly.
Leng Qingge's daughter wouldn't be a good person either.
“Mr. Fu, I want to see my mother.” Xu Hehe's voice was cold and hard, and her thick eyelashes hid all the emotions in her eyes.
Fu Junxing was slightly surprised. The bastard who used to love to raise her head and fight with him had grown up and learned how to hide her emotions.
Good, very good. This way, he would feel more at ease when he calculated.
“It's too late today.”
Xu Hehe suddenly raised her head. Her incomparably charming appearance caused Fu Junxing to lose focus for a moment.
“Don't forget what you promised me five years ago. I didn’t the famous Mr. Fu would go back on his word like this.”
Speaking of five years ago, Xu Hehe's face was dark and her lip wouldn't stop trembling. However, her gaze was persistent as she forced herself to use an overbearing tone to question him. “I've already left Qi Che, as per your request, and fulfilled Fu Mengyao's wish. Today is the day you fulfill your promise.”
Fu Junxing's expression was stormy as he sneered at her. “Your wings have grown stronger.”
Xu Hehe staggered and almost fell down. She clenched her hands so tightly that a sharp pain came from her palms. Only then did she focus, resisting the urge to step forward and give him a slap.
Fu Junxing was a devil. He had imprisoned her mother for twenty years so that she could only grow up in an orphanage. The hatred between the Xu and Fu families would never be resolved for the rest of his life.
“No matter what my mother did to you back then, twenty years of imprisonment is enough to offset the happiness that you ruined for both of us.” Xu Hehe's voice was filled with despair. Her mother's life was gone. She had lost everything since she lost Ah Che five years ago. In her lifetime, her only goal was to get her mother back.
Fu Junxing snorted coldly. “It's still far from enough. Even if Leng Qingge dies, she must die by my side.”
Xu Hehe's face instantly drained of blood.
When she saw Xu Qingge, tears streamed down her face. The smart, wise, gentle, and peerless mother that had lived in her memories was now so thin and weak that a gust of wind could blow her down.
After five years, her mother was so haggard that it made Hehe's heart ache. “I'm sorry I came back late.”
Hehe looked like Leng Qingge, despite their differences in temperament. Hehe was charming, yet stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat. Leng Qingge was once a popular diva, and her temperament was gentle and refined. Every frown and smile was poised. Even though she was a husk of her former self, the light in her clear eyes was still dazzling.
Many men had fallen under her spell, and Fu Junxing had been her downfall. He was a hurdle that she could not overcome. They tortured each other, deep into her bones, and the price was like blood, staining her life.
“Silly child, I've let you down.” Leng Qingge's eyes were full of tears. She was so guilty that she almost did not dare to look into Hehe's eyes.
Hehe shook her head, tears streaming down her face. She was useless! “I will definitely save you. Please give me some time.” She might not live for more than a year. With one year as the deadline, she was bound to personally take her mother away from here.
Leng Qingge smiled calmly. “It's no longer necessary for things to come to that point. Hehe, please don't hate me in the future, okay?”
Leng Qingge's eyes were filled with despair. Hehe was terrified. “Why would I hate you? I love you more than anything!” If it weren't for her mother's concern for her, she would have left long ago.
A bad premonition made her panic to the point that she almost stopped. She clutched her chest in pain.
